So often those who say they don’t believe in God, say it is because, if there was a God, He wouldn’t allow so many bad things to happen in this world, or to them personally!
They may say they have tried to believe in God, but because He didn’t answer their prayers, or because they saw the existence of so much evil, they stopped believing!

Intercessor!
Can you imagine a higher calling than that of an Intercessor? The potential to change not only lives for eternity, but the daily lives of those you bring to God’s throne; both those you know personally, as well as those you’ll never speak to in this life as well!
You can be a world changer from the comfort of your own home, or wherever you find yourself!
The prayers we pray will go beyond this life! Once we bring a person or a situation to the LORD, He will never forget!

An Empty Vessel!
Do you want the heart of Jesus? Do you desire to please your Father in heaven? Then you, as did Jesus must empty yourself of your own desires! You must be willing to lay down your life and your plans for those of the Father!
Philippians 2:5-8
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

Speak Peace To Us!
Do you scoff at God’s Word? Do you think that Christians should seek unity and peace at all costs, even at the cost of truth?
Are you like these people?
Jeremiah 6:14
They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of My people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
So many not only in the church, but also in the world only want to hear kind and loving words from Christians!

One Faith!
It is a true statement that there is only One God! But it is a false statement that there are many ways to that One God!
I would encourage you to read all of Ephesians chapter four! There is only one faith, one body of believers who make up the church, and only one hope that comes only through Jesus Christ!

The Seven Most Dreadful Words!
What will your sentence be when you stand before the LORD on the day of judgement? Will you receive a pardon because you accepted Jesus as your Savior and walked in obedience to His Word?
Or will you hear the seven most dreadful Words one could ever hear?
You see, doing good works, being accepting and loving of others, being tolerant of sin, bringing words of peace, or any other thing man thinks is good and worthy of salvation will not save you!

The Most Significant Event In History!
Without the resurrection of Jesus, we would have no hope!
1 Corinthians 15:12-21
Now if Christ be preached that He rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ:

But I Thought!
Jesus the Messiah — Our blessed Hope!
He came as an ordinary man, and they were expecting something else, so He was rejected by the very ones He came to save.
They wanted a kingdom on this earth, with a king they imagined in their own hearts. They didn’t know they were rejecting THE KING OF KINGS!
He suffered and died for our sins! Marred beyond recognition, He willingly gave His life.

It Was Finished Before It Started!
Everything and everyone has a beginning — Except for God!
Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
The Triune God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are first mentioned in this scripture, where God says — “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness.”

What About You?
Jesus came to die on the cross for the sins of the world, but He was rejected by His own people!
They knew there was something different about Him; something special, yet they despised Him!
John 7:45-46
Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought Him? The officers answered, Never man spake like this Man.

Sitting Still!
Be still and know that I am God!
In our busy world today, one of the most difficult things for us to do is to sit still, yet the LORD tells us to do so!
How often instead of sitting still, we think of a hundred things we think we should do!
Especially in the age of technology, cell phones, internet, and social media!

Loving With His Love!
How did God love us? He gave His only Son for our sins!
John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.

No Matter The Cost!
When I was a young girl, I was drawn to a a song called — Are you able! The song told the story of Jesus’ disciples telling Him they would follow Him to death, when He asked them if they were able to follow Him through a baptism of suffering!
I’m not sure I understood what the words of the song meant then, but I do know that I had a desire to please my Father in heaven! The disciples had the same desire, yet we know that at Jesus darkest hour, they all rejected Him and fled!

Letting Go — Continuing On!
A good parent trains their children up in order to prepare them for life, and for independence!
Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Ephesians 6:4
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the LORD.
When we are born, we are totally dependent upon our parents, for every need, but as we develop, that dependency should decrease with each passing year!

A Way Of Escape!
We will all face trials and temptations in this life, but we are promised that for every temptation placed in front of us, we will be provided a way of escape!
1 Corinthians 10:13
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Foolishness!
Are you foolish in the eyes of the LORD? Are you foolish in the eyes of the world?
The Word speaks of being foolish or a fool, but it also speaks about the LORD using the foolish things to confound the wisdom of the world!
What is the difference?
If you are a fool you are easily fooled by lies! You have no wisdom or discernment! Defined a fool is lacking in judgment, understanding, and the ability to reason!

The Emperor Has No Clothes!
So many today are living their lives to satisfy whatsoever their heart desires!
They are building up treasures on earth, but none in heaven!
They are seeking every earthly desire and pleasure — Things with no eternal value!
They are living their lives under what the Word of God calls the deceitful pride of life!
They are like the man thinking only in terms of earthly matters, and building bigger barns to store their treasures!

A Noble Aspiration!
I want to share something I shared with my daughter in 2007. I hope it will encourage the wives and mothers who read this message that being a wife and a mother is a noble aspiration!
Here is an email that I wrote to my daughter 18 years ago, and then some thoughts about the noble aspiration and high calling of being a wife and mother!

Fearing The LORD!
One of, if not the most important thing missing from our world today is the fear of the LORD!
When Isaiah saw the LORD, he realized his own frailty!
Isaiah 6:1,5
In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the LORD sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple.

When You Think No one Sees!
The Spirit of the LORD showed Ezekiel what His people were doing when they thought no one could see them!
He even showed him what they were imagining in their minds!
In the story we see the Spirit taking Ezekiel by the hair of his head to show him what was being done in secret, even those things hidden in the hearts of those who claimed to be His children!

Are you held captive by fears? Fears that something has happened, or will happen to you, or to your loved ones?
When you’re expecting a loved one, and they’re late, and you don’t hear from them, do you fear the worst?
How can we overcome fear, instead of being overcome by it?
