Worship service tonight to celebrate our victory for completing 21 days for the Daniel Fast...
It was very surreal--it couldn't have happened on a perfect night like tonight. To be worshipping the Lord for one hour and a half without any interruption was so refreshing to the soul. The songs sang tonight were in no doubt led by the Holy Spirit because you could feel it. The atmosphere was purely the work of His presence amongst us. I didn't want it to end but it has to for now. There will be a time when worshipping and glorifying God is all we do...in Heaven.
One day at a time...Looking back, in retrospect, President Trump gave voice to the unborn children who will never have a chance to live out the will of God for their lives. He strongly supported Christian religious beliefs and stood for Israel as a nation. He accomplished the majority of his promises when the people elected him as the President in 2016 and we may never know what really happened in the November 2020 presidential election because that freedom and liberty to find out the truth of it all was curtailed and stifled during the Capitol riot. I may be an ordinary citizen of the United States of America but I love this country. But I am a child of God first. Every child of God must occupy until the Lord comes. Our greatest commission is to share the good news that God is coming back for his unblemished church. And that we should live each day, vigilant of his coming and testify what Jesus Christ did for us, how our sinful lives were transformed and redeemed by the precious blood of the lamb...I heard one pastor said that if every Christian can lead one unbeliever to a sinner's prayer and make Jesus their personal Savior & Lord, this world will become a Christian world. And I felt so guilty because I haven't done that in years. If I'm only good at writing about it but not actually leading one for the kingdom of God, then what good would I be if I'm not winning souls?
God Bless You and Your Family, President Trump. You were a good vessel that God used to make America great again...I pray that God will continue to use you wherever you are. You will always be a strong pillar of the Christian faith!
Day 18 0f 2021 It's an old song favorite of mine...But Robin Herd's version of this song makes it more timeless with Randy Knaps and on the piano, Brian Heney!
Since the inception of Covid 19 and every morning when I get up, I am on my knees praying Psalms 91:1-16 to myself, my children and families, and my brothers and sisters in Christ. I believe it in my heart that reading the Word, praying the Word, believing the Word of God, and sharing the Word with the right people that don't carry suspicion and doubt are effective ways to combatting this so-called virus.
Another thing that we should remember wisely that to me it all comes down to how strong your immune system is. How do you take good care of yourself? Spiritually and physically. It's a lot of work to keep you and me healthy and strong. But that's the way it is: nothing in this life is easy. God did not promise us not to have tribulations but if we're truly wise, we ask him to guide us and lead the way. We'll get through anything with God on our side. He already had prepared the Way before us.
It is just so important that we keep our trust in Him and not what our eyes see in the natural. That is what you call Faith & Hope. Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)says that Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. However, we must continue to have our Faith in the right direction. We can't put our trust in our politicians or our government officials especially if their policies don't align with the Word of God. Our shield, armor is the Word of God. What men say is fallible but God's Bible is infallible. Take heart that you know...
Today was a ray of sunshine...not only in the physical sense but spiritually, too.
My son's car's tire was so flat & overblown that an air pressure machine that he owns can't do the job. From my vantage point, it looked like the tire can't be fixed or patched. I was so sure that it's not a nail that punctured that tire. I even thought it was slashed by some jerk but my son said that they really tried to do that they could have done the back tire not the front tire. I don't dig that argument. Because if a bad person does commit a bad deed, he or she wouldn't be very picky. They just want to commit a crime.
The car dealer place where my son bought his car is closed on the weekends especially the repairs dept.
So I called my brother-in-law who was a retired car mechanic from the Army. At least I wanted to see if the tire can be patched so we know what other options we have. So, my son and my brother-in-law worked together to put the donut tire while he went ahead and took the tire with him to patch it up. By the way, it was a nail punctured. He even let me feel the air that was coming out of the hole.
What a good coincidence that my brother-in-law wasn't busy today. He came to help out on very short notice. That was a good favor Lord that you sent a family member to help another family member. Definitely, that was a problem solved for the day.
I also put 3 new window blinds this afternoon. I thought putting them will help keep the house stay warm in this cold season. I did the first two blinds without any major hassles but when I did the last one, I couldn't seem to anchor the mini blind holder to the wall. You think by now it's easy but it wasn't anything wrong with the hardware. It was on how I drilled the window- blind holders. It was backward. I was getting tired perhaps that I didn't notice it right away. But God is good, He's in every little detail in everything that we do, if you let Him be your guide.
What we're watching now in our nation is the result of masqueraded lies that satan has been working in the media, in politics, and in every which way we turn. Many of us have already been victimized by the facade of his dominion of lies. We can't even admit that it even sabotage the presidential election up to a point where Christians have lost their equilibrium on things that really matter to God.
Vengeance belongs to God. We wash our hands on any ploy or tactic that the evil is so subtle to manipulate our mind through the things that we see, hear, read & speak. No filter, no wisdom, no guilt, and no conscientious effects of such beliefs imposed by the enemy. Peter 5:8 " admonishes us to be sober-minded and alert for our adversary, the devil, prowls like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour."
We eventually cater to the affluence of slavery into our minds and shackled our feet from going to places where we could be ambassadors of His Word. The devil is so creative in diverting us from the Calvary Cross where Jesus already finished it all for us. This absolute truth should have been more than enough to follow Him. Should Jesus tarry soon, it will be all too late for unbelievers...
"Today is the day that the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it. The joy of the Lord is our strength. We can do all thing through Christ who strengthens us."
