"There was Jesus." This world is so screwed up that I would lose my mind without Jesus, my anchor. There is so much brokenness and hurt all around us. Rich or poor. In my (European) mind this music is as American as it can get, and I love it. https://youtu.be/28a2MSoGgjA

Our Father, thank You for Jesus — for His great love, for His costly obedience to Your will, for His redeeming sacrifice.
I believe and trust in Your love, dear Father.
I believe in Jesus as Your Son and the greatest demonstration of Your love.
I trust Jesus as my Savior, and I offer my heart to Jesus as my Lord. In His name, I confess and pray. Amen.

#Awake
" Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed." 1 Corinthians 15:51-52
#Worship
“A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling ‘darkness’ on the walls of his cell.” –C.S. Lewis
DAY 11 - Brother "O"
"Day after day I sat in my cell. I read how Paul and Peter endured through severe circumstances. I felt like I was reading the Bible for the first time because I was reading it with the eyes of experience."

#Science
“The knowledge proper to this science [theology] comes through revelation and not through natural reason. Therefore, it has no concern to prove the principles of other sciences, but only to judge of them. Whatsoever is found in other sciences contrary to any truth of this science must be condemned as false: 'Destroying counsels and every height that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God' (2 Corinthians 10:4-5)."
~Thomas Aquinas

I particularly love Matthew 5:16, a great call to being good disciples for the gospel. @His_story
God the Triune God is One God.
God the Father.
God the Son.
God the Spirit.
God the Father declares Himself.
God the Son declares Himself.
God the Holy Spirit is the shy one.
He declares not Himself but declares both the Father and the Son.
Father and the Son declare and make known the Holy Spirit.
But the Spirit declares Himself not.
In Him we have a lesson to learn.
“In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16
Isaiah 43:10-13 “You are My witnesses,” declares the LORD, “And My servant whom I have chose , so that you may know and believe Me And understand that I am He, “Before Me there was no God formed, and there will be none after Me, I, even I, am the LORD, and there is no savior besides Me. “It is I who have declared and saved and proclaimed, And there was no strange god among you; So you are My witnesses” declares the LORD, “And I am God. “Even from eternity I am He, and there is none who can deliver out of My hand; I act and who can reverse it?” Oh mighty God, we come together as the body of Christ-Your remnant-in agreement that You are Almighty and All-powerful. Move in the hearts of the lost in every nation. Build up those who are persecuted for Your namesake. Give them courage and strength to hold on to the hem of Your garment. May they be like a ring on Your finger-along for the ride. May they be so in tune with what the Spirit has to say. In Jesus’s name, Amen. 🙂 ❤️
Father God I thank you for this day and the plans that you have for each one of your children. Help us to always remember that the plans you have are good and for us to walk in them and fulfill the purposes that you have called us to. Allow us to share the gospel with all those we come across. Whether in word or deed allow our lives to reflect who you are. Allow us to step into a deeper revelation of who you are through the goodness of your Son. Thank you Lord that we are your sons by the redeeming blood of Christ and the Spirit of adoption in our heart that cries out abba father.
Dear Father, Almighty God,
Let my love be genuine for everyone in heaven and on earth. Help me hate what is evil at all times and everywhere. Help me hold fast to what is good.
May I love my fellow disciples with brotherly affection. May I show them greater honor than they show me.
Let my zeal not cool. May it blaze with energy from your Spirit.
May I rejoice in hope and be patient in tribulation. Let me be constant in prayer. May I contribute liberally to the needs of your holy people. Help me be very hospitable.
And Lord, help me to bless those who persecute me. Help me to bless them, not to curse in return.
In the name and authority of Jesus I boldly come, asking these things according to his will. Amen.
Pray for truth in Phil Haney's murder investigation to come forth. I met Phil several times and he was a great, humble man with a heart of gold, loved the Lord and stood as a true patriot. https://www.wnd.com/2021/02/1-year-later-no-word-probe-dhs-officer-philip-haneys-death/
