The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 423

1 Timothy 2:1-2: 2 First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, 2 for kings and all those who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.

Christ/Messiah is Our Only Hope

Do you pray? Do the people in the United States of America pray? Are groups in churches encouraged by the church leadership to pray for God to move the U.S.A., in the direction of His Will? And if so, are the members paying attention and abiding in prayer without ceasing? The answers to these questions are readily known within our circles of influence. The local churches make up our national church—take a look at our nation and tell me, all is okay! If you do say this, I would answer with, ‘liar, liar, pants on fire!

I would also say that the church as we know it today does encourage prayer regarding national peace and prosperity, but I also believe we spend more time praying for aunt Suzie’s hangnail and uncle Ben’s in growing toenail then we spend praying for our president and all those in authority so that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. 

The condition of the United States of America TODAY is a direct result of God answering the prayers of His children. Look, adulterers, and adulteresses, you ask missing the mark as you have friendships, not with The God of heaven, but with the god of this world. Therefore, study, repent, resist the devil and humble yourself before God as it is never too late—God gives grace to the humble. See James 4.

The church is approaching its final days on the earth and after the church is taken up, the ‘Day of the LORD’. The church just as Israel is failing to restore the image of God in mankind, the day of the LORD is fast approaching.

The Day of the Lord see Malachi 4 1 “For look, the day is coming, burning like a furnace, when all the arrogant and everyone who commits wickedness will become stubble. The coming day will consume them,” says the Lord of Armies, “not leaving them root or branches. 2 But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings, and you will go out and playfully jump like calves from the stall.[a] 3 You will trample the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day I am preparing,” says the Lord of Armies.

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 169 Luke 14:7-14 - So He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them: “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him; “and he who invited you and him come and say to you, ‘Give place to this man,’ and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place. “But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you. “For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. Then He also said to him who invited Him, “When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. “But when you give a fea

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 161.1 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:   Luke 12:1-5 There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. “Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” Jesus, the Christ of God/Messiah An excerpt from yesterday’s devotional: In our passage, the point of the LORD is not that of being a newscaster but placing the death of these people beyond human judgment, in fact; Jesus does not look at the death of human beings as we do. All humans, past present and future will die a ph
