Good (early) morning my most wonderful World Wide Family. I love you so very much. I am praying for all of you. Sometimes I feel like I wish that I knew that someone was praying for me. I want you to know that I am praying for you. Of course I don’t know you personally, I wish I did. I do not know what you are going through nor your prayer needs. I do however know the Omniscient, Omnipresent, Omnipotent God Who knows all about you every moment of your life. That is Who I am praying to for you. It doesn’t get any better than that!
Dear LORD God Almighty, we come to You this morning with thanksgiving for Who You are and Whose we are. You are Amazing. You are Perfect and Holy, Worthy of all of our praise and worship. Thank You for loving us so much that You gave Your Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ to die a horrendous death for us. Please call all of your people to You for salvation LORD. Remove blinders and scales from our eyes and let us know Your TRUTH and let us truly know You.
Holy Spirit please comfort all who have lost loved ones to death, divorce, abandonment, or children going astray. Heal those who are sick please. LORD please always protect Your little children in every nation and let them keep their childhood innocence, joy and laughter. Please turn the hearts of the fathers and mothers to their children and the hearts of the children to their parents. Rebuild the family structure as You created it to be. We repent, we prostrate our hearts before You. Please Jesus send Revival, Regeneration, and Renewal. God save America please. Bring us back to our roots. One Nation under God, indivisible with justice and liberty for all.
Please LORD protect and sustain all who are being persecuted, are in jail, and those being martyred and their families for standing strong in their belief in You Jesus. Wake up Your sleeping church in America. Our prosperity is in You. You are our Portion. Please LORD stop the senseless and evil wars and genocides. Set people in all nations free from oppression and make them free to know and worship You. Please keep Your ministering angels and Your hedge of protection around Your children both adult and small everywhere. We thank You in advance. In Jesus Name. Amen.
PSALM 119:17, 18 DEAL BOUNTIFULLY WITH YOUR SERVANT THAT I MAY KEEP YOUR WORD. OPEN MY EYES THAT I MAY SEE WOUNDROUS THINGS FROM YOUR LAW.
EPHESIANS 1:17, 18, 19 THAT THE GOD OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE FATHER OF GLORY MAY GIVE UNTO YOU THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND REVELATION IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM. THE EYES OF YOUR UNDERSTANDING BEING ENLIGHTENED THAT YOU MAY KNOW WHAT IS THE HOPE OF HIS CALLING AND WHAT THE RICHES OF THE GLORY OF HIS INHERITANCE IN THE SAINTS AND WHAT IS THE EXCEEDING GREATNESS OF HIS POWER TOWARD US WHO BELIEVE ACCORDING TO THE WORKING OF HIS MIGHTY POWER.
As for myself, being a person who has worked in the Health care field all of my career and one who loves heroes; I used to enjoy watching shows about both. Lately I can’t and I won’t. God clearly instructs you and me how to live our lives to honor Him. These instructions are found in His WORD the Bible. TV Shows that I used to be able to watch now have someone jumping out of bed or participating in a sexual act in the first few seconds of the program. They are straight and gay and either having affairs with co-workers or adulterous relationships with the spouse of someone else, or they are married and having sex on our TVs.
What does all of that have to do with Saving Lives in the Healthcare field or Rescuing people from fires, crime and terrorist attacks? To honor God, as a Christian I would not participate in those acts. Yet if I am watching them on TV, then I am in a way giving consent to these lifestyles. It is my responsibility to keep my spirit, soul, mind and heart pure.
The audacity of producers making shows that show satan as being good or a serial killer as being some type of hero. Especially trying to depict our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ as less than He is=God Almighty. Also if and when there is a part for a “Christian” to be played, they are many times depicted as a pervert, weak, hateful or out of control. Stop using my God’s Name in vain and saying Jesus Christ as profanity. I don’t see you using Buddha’s name or Muhammad’s name or Brahma or Vishnu as profanity. This means that you actually write the Name of our LORD in your script as profanity and actors actually read God’s Name that way. You must get a leery feeling when you are doing that, or at least you should.
DEUTERONOMY 5:11 YOU SHALL NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD YOUR GOD IN VAIN: FOR THE LORD WILL NOT HOLD HIM GUILTLESS THAT TAKES HIS NAME IN VAIN.
Also newscasters, when there are natural disasters around the world, you rarely ever or never show the Christian organizations who are the First Responders. Good Samaritan from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Operation Blessing from CBN/Christian Broadcasting Network, and Mercy Ships, just to name a few. Also many thousands of Christian churches and millions of Christian people donating finances, helping and praying and doing what Jesus commands us to do.
MARK 7:21-23 FOR FROM WITHIN, OUT OF THE HEART OF MEN, PROCEED EVIL THOUGHTS, ADULTERIES, FORNICATIONS, MURDERS, THEFTS, COVETOUSNESS, WICKEDNESS, DECEIT, LASCIVIOUSNESS, AN EVIL EYE, BLASPHEMY, PRIDE, FOOLISHNESS. ALL THESE EVIL THINGS COME FROM WITHIN, AND DEFILE THE MAN.
ROMANS 1:29-32 BEING FILLED WITH ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, FORNICATION, WICKEDNESS, MALICIOUSNESS; FULL OF ENVY, MURDER, DEBATE, DECEIT, MALIGNITY; WHISPERERS, BACKBITERS, HATERS OF GOD, DESPITEFUL, PROUD, BOASTERS, INVENTORS OF EVIL THINGS, DISOBEDIENT TO PARENTS; WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING, COVENANT BREAKERS, WITHOUT NATURAL AFFECTION, IMPLACABLE, UNMERCIFUL WHO KNOWING THE JUDGMENT OF GOD THAT THEY WHICH COMMIT SUCH THINGS ARE WORTHY OF DEATH, NOT ONLY DO THE SAME , BUT HAVE PLEASURE IN THEM WHO DO THEM.
Do these lifestyles and relationships exist in our world? Sadly, of course they do. Rampantly. Did I used to live this lifestyle? Again, sadly yes I did for many years when I was a teenager and young adult until I gave my life to Jesus Christ as my LORD and Savior. Did I enjoy the lifestyle? Yes, sadly I did for a season of my life before my personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Nothing compares with life with the Creator of the Universe. How could it? My previous lifestyle could only lead to death and destruction and then hell for eternity.
You see I can talk about these things because I lived these things. Don’t forget to add in the drugs and alcohol, constant partying, and constant cussing that I did also. I was so ridiculous that as a teen I very much wished that cussing would not be banned on the TV, radio, and songs that I used to listen to. Wow, now look at how things are. I had a lot to repent of to God. You know when I did repent and ask Jesus to be LORD of my life, I literally felt like the weight of the world was removed off of my shoulders. That was a lot of sin taken away. Thank You Jesus for dying for me!
Well, enough about this topic. I will continue to pray about this and for all who participate in this. I pray for those in Hollywood. Thank You to the Christian Actors, Actresses, Playwrights, and Producers. God Bless you and continue to give you strength to stand for Him. It does not go un-noticed.
There are now some Faith based and family based alternatives. I like to watch “Pureflix”. They have movies, shows and series of shows. They have educational cartoon shows for children and documentaries and educational shows about many of our historic great preachers. Praise God this has been such an awesome relief from secular TV shows. I also try to always go to Christian movies both to show my support and because I Love them. Many times they are only played at certain theaters, for certain showings, and for short time frames. What is that about? This is what we want!! Please to you Christians who are in this field and area of expertise, help us out with Christian faith based shows and movies.
Until we get to speak together again, please remember that I love you and I am praying for you and all of your generations and most importantly Jesus loves you.
