Truth

2 Corinthians 13:5-9

 

 

 

2 Corinthians 

 

Examine yourselves to see if your faith is really genuine.  Test yourselves, if you cannot tell that Jesus Christ is among you, it means you have failed the test.  I hope you recognize that we have passed the test and are approved by God.

We pray to God that you will not do anything wrong.  We pray this, not to show that our ministry to you has been successful, but because we want you to do right even if we ourselves seem to have failed.  Our responsibility is never to oppose the truth, but to stand for the truth at all times.  We are glad to be weak, if you are really strong.  What we pray for is your restoration to maturity.

Thoughts....

 

 

'Always be full of joy in the Lord.  I say it again - rejoice!  Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do.  Remember the Lord is coming soon.

'Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.  If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful that the human mind can understand.  His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

'And now dear brothers and sisters, let me say one more thing as I close this letter.  Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right.  Think about things that are pure and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.  Keep putting into practice all you learned from me and heard from me an saw me doing, and the God of peace will be with you.'  Philippians 4:4-9

'Dear brothers and sisters, I close my letter with these last words:  Rejoice.  Change your ways. Encourage each other.  Live in harmony and peace.  Then the God of love and peace will be with you.

'Greet each other in Christian love.  All the Christians here send you their greetings. 

'May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.'  2 Corinthians 13:11-13

   Let Us Pray

 

 

Father God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, truth can be so evasive, illusive, is absolutely destructive, if not used, heeded, embraced fully, and, lack of it can pervade even the most staunch believers, as we are seeing today politically, and in the religious sectors in the USA especially, and in the world.  Satan has most assuredly pulled the wool over many Christians eyes and is diverting them from THE Truth, THE Word, THE Light.  They act as if Donald Trump is their Savior, rather than seeing you, Jesus, as their Savior.  I  know it's nauseating to me to see the flock led astray and lost, I cannot fathom the pain and suffering you are experiencing over seeing the people confused, lost, turning away from you and your teachings God, Jesus, Holy Spirit.  I come to you in sincere earnestness, begging you to help those who are turned upside down spiritually.  I know you gave us free will, freedom of choice, but Lord, God, Holy Spirit, not even a virus causing death, nor hurricanes and flooding causing destruction, nor division in the world, and killing of innocents, divisiveness in families, and more is reaching those who should be praying with you, to you, listening to your counsel and worshiping you.  So much pain has been caused by the lies, the cheating, the evil emitted from our current US President.  So much evil.  Help us Lord.  Open the eyes of those turned astray.  Wake them up, shake them up.  Make then stop making life be about their political way or the highway, instead of following Christian based laws this country was formed with.  They've turned their back on you, Lord, Holy Spirit, God.  Keep those of us who are continuing to see you, live with you, attempt to go forward righteously and  willing to help others....safe.  Father God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, please, I beg of you, do not let Donald Trump win another election by evil ways again.  Or by any way.  He's telling people to break the law to vote twice for him, as the leader of the USA....he's telling people to come to his evil side.  He is not Satan incarnate, but he is surely one of his assigns.  Rebuke him, get him out of office, take him to task for all his previous and current evil ways and put him in jail where he should be.  However, you and I both know where he is heading in the end.  No one can be that purposefully evil and not go to hell.  He has mocked you, Lord.  To your face.  He has mocked all of intelligence in the world.  I heard you say, "Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Thank you, Lord.  I know I am safe in your arms, as is my family, and other Christians who are seeing this spiritual battle for what it is.  But it's a lonely battle, Lord.  I know you know that battle.  I embrace you for all you're going through, and receive your embrace in return.   I know you are praying for me and the world.  I will pray for you.  I am so sorry you God, Jesus, Holy Spirit are going through all this.  Your pain must be immeasurable.  Forgive me....forgive us....for all our sins whatever they may be.  And thank you.  l praise you.  I thank you.  I love you.  Amen.

Let us hear from Paul as he prays:  

When I think of the wisdom and scope of God's plan, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth.  I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will give you mighty inner strength through his Holy Spirit.  And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him.  May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love.  And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is.  May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it.  Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

Now glory be to God!  By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope.  May he be given glory in the church and in Christ Jesus forever and ever through endless ages.  Amen.  Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT

  Our Continual Cause

 

 

It is time to reach into the community and the world around you to see wherein lies the greatest need.  As you choose to focus on these areas, do so with a servant's heart.  Whether the need is for children, adults, animals, the earth, or any cause in between that will help those in need, ask God how you can best serve his needs, what path you must take, and how long you should persevere.  Sometimes we are to be in the lives of others merely as stepping stones.  Sometimes we are to touch those lives forever.  Whatever journey you are called to take, whatever team you will be a member, know this:  God is with you always...even til the end of time.  He loves you, is grateful for you, and will help you along life's way, especially if you are helping others along theirs, persevering with a servant's heart.  

    

Please accept my sincerest thanks....and God's....and may God richly bless you !

  One last thing....

 

 

Jesus' Prayer of Thanksgiving

'The Unforced Rhythms of Grace'

 

 

"Abruptly Jesus broke into prayer:  "Thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth.  You've concealed your ways from sophisticates and know-it-alls, but spelled them out clearly to ordinary people.  Yes, Father, that's the way you like to work."

Jesus resumed talking to the people, but now tenderly.  "The Father has given me all these things to do and say.  This is a unique Father - Son operation, coming out of Father and Son intimacies and knowledge.  No one knows the Son the way the Father does, nor the Father the way the Son does.  But I'm not keeping it to myself; I'm ready to go over it line by line with anyone willing to listen."

"Are you tired?  Worn out?  Burned out on religion?  Come to me.  Get away with me and you'll recover your life.  I'll show you how to take a real rest.  Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it.  Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.  I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn how to live freely and lightly.

 

Matthew 11:  25-30

  The Message

 

And the people said,

"Amen."

I now write most prayers in the position of ' I ' (first person) because most people are sitting at their computer alone, not in groups, and it allows those reading and praying to personalize the prayer as coming from them going to God.  Variations may appear on holidays when families may wish to use the prayer provided.  I encourage you to pray your own prayers as well.

NOTE:  I said it long ago, but let me say it again.  If you are wanting to lead a group, start a church, or are confined in an institution, or live in a country where the Gospel is not preached, and you don't know what to say or how to say it, and yet feel led to share, teach, or preach, besides just reading straight out of the Bible and sharing what God puts on your heart, please feel free to share any or all of what I've written, if it will help you, as long as you include where it comes from, due to copyright laws.  Jesus gave God's love and healing freely, as well as his message.  Our responsibility is to get the Word out to those who need to hear it.  If what I've written....by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit....or what he has said through me....has helped you, it may help others that you know.  You are welcome to share it.  God calls all of us to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the world.  Please share it with the fullness of love that God, Jesus, Holy Spirit....and I....have given it.  Amen!
