What are the prayers of a righteous man or woman? Jesus said the prayer in Matt 6:9-13 was the perfect prayer. I agree totally of course, I mean think about it, we start off with praise, then we tell Him not our will, but His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Then we ask for our daily bread, which covers both food and spirit filling. Then we ask forgiveness for ourselves as well as those we might be holding something against. We start to finish the prayer with asking for us not to be tempted to evil acts,and finish with another praise. The perfect prayer no doubt.
So often these days people (Christians) say we need to pray for this government to stop going down this horrible path they are taking us down. I say not so. We should be praying of course,but we must all realize the Lord had His prophets prophesying all of this about two thousand years ago.
Reading the news, is like reading all of the prophecies for the end times throughout the bible.
Jesus said in Luke 22:42-44 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” 43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. 44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. Jesus prayed in such deep earnestness that His sweat became blood drops, for Himself not to have to go through the serious torture He would be enduring. Even Jesus as righteous as He is, could not change anything about these prophecies coming to pass.
Just as we, even in our righteousness through Christ, cannot change anything that is going to happen in the coming months and years. If we were to stop all of what is going on in our government and our world we would be changing God’s prophecy. God does not change one thing about Himself to please men, nor would He change anything about what He has said will come to pass. That would make Him a liar. God is not a liar. We will have a one world government,we will have one world currency,we will have one world religion. There is no amount of praying, even if we were to pray so hard and earnestly that we bleed instead of sweat,that will change this path we are on.
Evil has been planning and working all it’s evil plans for many years. Paul said it in 2 Thessalonians 2:7
For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. Do not be fooled though please, when something is taken out of the way it is not removed completely, so he who let’s until he is taken out of the way means just that, pushed aside,moved out of the way. Anyway back to my original article. Evil has been busy and God has known all of this even before the foundations of the earth were laid. The Lord did not tell us about these things occurring so that we may change them. He warned us in advance of what was, and is coming, so that we would not fear it. So that we would be prepared, so that we could be strengthened.
Forewarned is forearmed. God said nothing would happen that He has not prepared us for. Our prayers need to be changed from God please stop this, to God strengthen us, encourage us, prepare us. Protect us and guide us through all of what is coming. The warring Christian looks nothing like the worldly war’s. What does the warring Christian look like? Though he has a weapon and armor,these things are unseen. The sword of the Christian is the word of the Lord,the bible. The way we sharpen our swords is to study the word of the Lord to get to know it very well. We can read it over and over and over again and still come up with a wonderful new lesson each time we read it. Paul speaks of the armor of the Christian in Ephesians 6:14-17, as well as our weapon.
The word is our preparation and our armor,but most especially our sword. Hebrews 4:16. “For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [[making it active, operative, energizing and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.” Amen
The word is powerful with it we fight off satan and his demons.
Too often I have heard good Christians quoting ,they will have to take my gun our of my cold dead hand, rather than to give it up easily. I cringe at this each time I hear it. We as Christians do not fight as the world does no not us. We are to actually offer up our other cheek to allow someone who has slapped our left cheek to make it even and slap our right cheek. The bible in the New testament does not tell us to fight at all. It tells us we are to be sheep led to the slaughter. We do not fight, we love them to Christ. We are to pray for those who persecute us, and our children and family. This I know will be unbelievably hard to do but therein is our trials by fire.
Guns are going to be outlawed we have got to know this. The beast system does not wish us to fight them and win so they will outlaw guns, and much sooner than anyone thinks. Already our Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has signed onto the small arms treaty with the U.N, which is to get rid of as many guns as they can. The only thing that worries me on that score is the evil people who have guns which are not registered, and that far outnumbers those who are registered. How long before they come and confiscate peoples guns? I do not believe it will be long before that occurs. Our fighting will be much more effective with our words that come straight from the bible.
We war in prayer and praise,with peace and the word as our very effective weapon. We are to be gentle, speak softly,love at all costs. If we fight as the world does how does this make us any different than the ones we are trying to lead to the Lord? Yes we live in this world but we are not of this world. When the Christian is at war the world should not even be able to tell. Our fighting is done in the spirit world where we are promised Victory in Jesus. He says behold I have over come the world. It has been done. It all begins with God and ends with Him. We are to trust in the Lord,to protect us guide and direct us,and most assuredly to care for all of our needs.
The time is quickly coming where we Christians will have to depend on the Lord for absolutely everything. Food, shelter, protection, guidance,of where to go and when to go. Are you ready? We in America have been spoiled rotten. As far as having food to eat when we want it,houses and or apartments to live in. We have cars and transportation of all sorts. Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, gun rights. All too soon we will be losing our bill of rights as well as our constitution. Don’t you all know this already? The bible says there will be a one world government that means bye bye American way of life. There will be a one world currency,and a one world religion. These things had been prophesied a very long time ago,did you think to change the Lords mind on any of this? Do you think we can put off what is due this country and this world, throwing God out of everything.
God is giving this world what it wants and that’s for Him to be taken out of absolutely everything. But then they do not understand the consequences of it all. No friends we will not have anyone or anything to depend upon in this world but God.
Have you ever noticed the harder a persons life gets the more he or she depends upon the Lord? Well that’s whats going to happen here folks. We are going to have no choice but to depend upon our gracious Heavenly Father. He will have to be our healer (Which praise His name He is the best most complete healer). They are doing their level best to destroy our hopes of doctors helping us. How long before no one has money to even have health care? The proposed health care bill is nothing but a license to control every aspect of our lives, and yes to decide who should be helped and who should die.
Don’t be fooled people not for one moment . Our governments know exactly what they are doing. They are not making a single mistake here. They are doing exactly what satan has had planned for a very long time,one world government one world currency and one world religion. What they are doing and why they are doing it is a very obvious thing to me and anyone who reads prophecy. However, though we do not fight as the world does,when truth is at stake we stand up for it even if it means our death. Never ever back down from the truth, just don’t hold anyone at gunpoint to stand up for truth.
Everything we are going through now might have been avoided had people not been so quiet and complacent and allowed the truth to be stopped from being absolute. In this world now a days, according to those of the world, there is no absolute truth. They believe truth is relative to all peoples beliefs, what a load of crap that is. Also they are allowing more and more Muslim garbage to be filtered into everything and then they say Muslims are not to be feared. They are to be feared and prayed for with everything we have, that they would turn to the true God the only God the one with a wonderful Son who is all about Love. The Muslims wreak havoc wherever they go and then say the Christians are the ones who are bad? It is unreal to me but at the same time in Isaiah it says good would be considered evil and evil would be considered good in these times. Well hold onto your pants people here we are.
Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! I will ask again are you ready? The best way to prepare for all of whats coming is to read your word to pray for understanding and wisdom and knowledge. Do not take mans word for the meaning and understanding of the scriptures, pray for the Holy Spirit to guide you through it in truth with understanding, knowledge, and wisdom.
Love in Christ Jesus, Tammy
