Hello my most Wonderful World Wide Family. I love you all so very much. You are amazing to me, you are strong and you persevered through 2020 and all of the “challenges” (to put it, oh so lightly), that it brought our way. Yay, we made it Together with God!! Here we are in 2021 to celebrate Life. Thank You LORD!!
I just want to start this New Year with a prayer. Dear LORD God Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. We thank You for this New Year 2021. A year full of new beginnings. A year of letting go of our past mistakes and pushing forward toward new goals in Your will and Your way LORD Jesus. We pray for all of those who have been devastated because they lost loved ones to covid-19. LORD help them in their grief and pain. Please give them Your Peace that passes understanding in the midst of their sorrow. Surround them with Your angels and give them rest for their weary souls.
LORD, we thank You that we are here together and You are always here with us. We thank You that we never have to go through our pain, heartaches, griefs, abandonments, disillusionments, and torments alone because You alone bore them all for us when You died a horrendous death on the Cross of Calvary and bore our sins.
LORD, please call all of Your people unto You. LORD, please raise up ‘end time warriors’ who will do battle on our knees in prayer to You and with weapons of Your Pure Love for those we love, hurting strangers, and those who want to be our enemies. Send those of us who will go out into Your hurting world (when it is safe for us to actually go out into the streets), and onto social media, (the airwaves) and tell people about You and that You are returning soon and that they need to be ready. Please LORD, impress upon their hearts and souls that eternity is forever, it is real, and we choose whether we spend it with You in heaven or tormented in hell. This life here on earth is only a vapor in time.
LORD God Almighty, You do not wish that any should perish but that all should come to You and be saved. You created us, we sinned and turned from You. You provided the Salvation Plan. You sent Your Only Son Jesus Christ of Nazareth to be born King of kings and LORD of lords. We celebrate His Birth at Christmas. We can celebrate You every moment of every day. You loved us so much that You did this for us. It’s all about You LORD. It always has been. Thank You for choosing us. Thank You for going through this journey of life with us and never leaving us nor forsaking us.
Thank You as Jehovah Rapha, the LORD our Healer, You are healing our loved ones from corona virus and every illness, disease and cancer. You gave the physicians their brilliant minds and strategies to create the corona virus vaccine in unprecedented time. Thank You for protecting the first responders, soldiers, police, front line workers in the hospitals and all employees throughout all communities. Thank You LORD that You are Jehovah Jireh, the LORD our Provider and we can count on You to provide for us when times are uncertain. You never change. You are the same yesterday, today and forever. We trust You LORD.
Thank You that You protect us and all of our generations with Your angels. You are Jehovah Nissi, the Banner over us and our generations. Thank You that You supernaturally comfort, bless and protect those who are persecuted and being martyred for their beliefs in You. Give them Your Dunamis Power to endure to the end. Give this Power to us as well so that we may also stand strong, be bold and very courageous no matter what may come our way in our lives. We ask this all in the Precious Name of Jesus Christ and thank You in advance. Amen. Glory to God!
God has given me 3 great Scriptures to think about thus far for this New Year.
ISAIAH 26:3 YOU (GOD) WILL KEEP HIM. (HER) IN PERFECT PEACE WHOSE MIND IS STAYED UPON YOU, BECAUSE HE TRUSTS IN YOU.
ISAIAH 54:13 AND YOUR CHILDREN SHALL BE TAUGHT BY THE LORD AND GREAT SHALL BE THE PEACE OF YOUR CHILDREN.
JOHN 14:27 PEACE I LEAVE WITH YOU, MY PEACE I GIVE UNTO YOU: NOT AS THE WORLD GIVES DO I GIVE TO YOU. LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED, NEITHER LET IT BE AFRAID. (JESUS SPEAKING) (nkjv)
I may have mentioned that while I was in the process of being healed by God, from depression; (I am still in an on going process.) that God gave me the first Scripture. It just seemed to come alive to me and really resonate with my grief torn and worn out soul. God’s WORD is Living, it is Truth, It is “Truth that Supersedes fact.” God is a Mighty God. If He says that He will keep us in perfect peace if we keep our minds on Him and trust in Him, then that is exactly what He will do. 100%
Please notice 2 things. God is the Super Abundant God. He says He will keep us in Perfect Peace, not just peace. Also notice our part of being obedient. We are to keep our minds stayed upon Him and trust in Him. I had to do that, and do it again and again many times each day. I have to put my mind and thoughts back on Him when they stray to think about grief, losses, betrayal, slander and abandonment that I have experienced.
The next verse is about our children, grandchildren, all of our generations. Our posterity. It says they will be taught By God. We must all know that there is of course no greater Teacher than our God. As God uses His Holy Spirit to teach our children, just as He does to teach us; Great shall be their Peace. This also gives us peace as parents. Again God’s WORD is Truth. Whether or not a person decides to believe God’s WORD does not make It any less True. I receive great comfort from this verse when thinking about family members in rebellion who do not want to listen to me share about God. I place my trust in God and remain in intercessory prayer for my loved ones.
The third Scripture. Life does not get any better than this. Jesus is giving us His Peace. HIS PEACE! Not peace that the world has to offer, (which is almost non-existent.) Our hearts don’t have to be troubled. I don’t have to be afraid or live in fear, no matter what life has to offer. No matter what the year 2020 unexpectedly brought. No matter what tragedy I go through and have gone through already. God is always in control, no matter what. He is never caught off guard. He knew about corona virus before the foundation of the world. The Bible tells us that God knew each of us before we were formed in our mother’s womb. He is Omniscient, Omnipresent and Omnipotent.
Well, I need to close for now. Until we get to share our lives together again; please know that I am praying for you all and all of your generations. I love you and most importantly, Jesus loves you. Please accept Jesus as your LORD and Savior and live your life in an intimate relationship with the LORD. You will never, ever regret your decision. We can live powerfully in the LORD here on this earth and help bring Heaven to earth in this life and more souls to be saved for eternity. We can live together in eternity with the LORD after we leave this life. We never know when that will be. No day is promised to us whether we are young or old.
