In this life in this earth, there are many delusions of “peace” and “safety,” but a rural home in a quiet neighborhood with wealth and a security system does not keep terror, war, death or famine out, beloved for whom Christ died.
I am watching a generation of young people starving for attention, for love, for basic training in life skills, rather than 5 hours a day trained to watch TV and play games, kids who hate themselves to the point of cutting themselves and trying to kill themselves.
The answer is STILL JESUS. The cross, the blood and being DOERS of the Word of God not just hearers only. We are beloved.
We are Gaza. We are Israel. We can not ignore the cries of the suffering and do nothing and expect our lives will be safe when we do not obey the clear words of Christ.
If we want our children to be protected we MUST stop obeying the flesh and the world and cry, pray and OBEY God by giving of our lives to live for Christ pleading with Him to grant us power to DO what His word says.
Some are infants needing spiritual milk. An apple seed does not yet look like the tree and does not hand out apples yet.
Some are in the spiritual hospital and in need of healing, but do not waste that time with foolish thinking but train yourself through godly sermons music books and the like. Hate what is evil. Cling to what is good.
But healthy, mature believers LOOK AND ACT LIKE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
They are not self-centered or proud. They wash the feet of others. They are willing to live and die for Jesus and to love others fully. Not greedy. They trust God for their daily bread and are willing to enter into the suffering of this world.
May God grant power and Grace to all who serve to be the hands and feet of Jesus to break through the darkness of poverty, pride and war and allow those empowered thru Jesus to give, feed, comfort, share God’s redeeming grace and bring healing.
Pray for us, too, please in the western world churches, that the prophetic voice might rise up strong through the Holy Spirit’s power to convict those bound by greed, self centeredness, hypocrisy and spiritual pride, that we might turn to Jesus for mercy and repent of our idolatry and that God might grant deaf ears to hear, blind eyes to see and hardened hearts to be changed to living hearts that hear God’s Holy Spirit crying out for the poor and oppressed and downtrodden.
Please Pray that those with means to give will, by God’s grace alone and to His glory alone, have power to stop wasting time, energy, resources and money on the foolish, so very temporary things of this world, but will fear and believe God and seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness and obey His repeated cry throughout Scripture to not turn away from our own flesh and blood, but to give fully and freely as we have been so abundantly Grace.
That we might heed Christ’s words now, and not wait until the day we stand before Him to hear His voice and that throughout the land there might be godly Shepherds after God’s own heart to feed and lead this people in God’s truth and grace and into the obedience and love that comes thru a living faith.

Thank you and God’s peace.
