@HimalayanShepherd Why is the Lord allowing this? What goal might He be working towards? How is this situation helping Him develop His people to move from where they now are to where they are called to be?
Are the believers victims of an evil regime or unfortunate circumstance? What opportunities are now present? How can believers solve problems and contribute to the well-being of others? How can they create value? How might creativity be harnessed to do more with less? How might a donation work against the long-term well-being of the believers? Does money flow like a river? What is the nature of money? How does the current discipleship program build resilience and investment mentality in the believers?
@Piquant Let's go further in our prayer asking for more breakthroughs and victory. Psalm 8:2 clearly explains why evil spirits hate children.
@Olamide It hits hard, but the Lord likens idolatry to adultery.
@NanaCarol Father I pray for Lisa that Your love and goodness will reach her today. Her life has not gone according to plan- neither Your's nor her's. Touch her mind, her heart, her will, her spirit and her body - continue the healing journey that You began in her life. Wean her off of prescription drugs and teach her good nutrition to help repair her body. Break any links between herself and evil spirits freeing her spirit to live in Your presence. Cause her heart to have a desire for Your Word. Bring her mind to the place of perfect soundness and give her victory over negative thoughts. Help her to express her emotions and not bottle them in. Teach her about building good relationships. Though she may not yet know it You are every thing she needs. When You move in, along comes healing and blessing. Give her hope that she can have a better life than this. Let the Holy Spirit convict her of sin, righteousness and judgement. Save her soul by any means necessary. In Jesus name Amen
@JeremiahKranig Praise the Lord. The Lord be with you as you move forward making your path smooth. Remember the plan was written before the foundation of the earth. Write down the verse or Bible passage you were given by the Lord. Because when mountains ahead stand in your way you will need to revisit it. I don't believe God's people have problems -but rather challenges. Challenges have solutions -which we usually don't see at first. In following Christ's clues we get to incredible solutions that confirm we were not victims of circumstance. Remember you are not alone but connected to a bigger family. We have or are now also being repositioned in the field. The emotional break is never easy but our Commander in Chief is both wise and understanding. Finally don't be so bogged down in logistics that you miss enjoying the adventure ahead of you. You didn't write the plan-it was decided before the laying of the foundation of the earth. So enjoy the adventure and this new view of Your God.
@tanjaostman I know of a similar situation abroad. Years ago believers in Jesus Christ there made it a point to say hello to foreign neighbours asking them if they needed prayer. At first there was silence or nos, in time the walls were eroded & requests & the message of hope was shared and accepted.
Years ago we prayed IS would put down the gun & pick up the Bible, be saved & carry the Gospel to the desert places. In 6 weeks IS stopped fighting. President Obama could not explain this as American led intervention was imminent. As soon as he said so, I said they will start to fight again. They did, but the warfare was different as the previous organizational structure was destroyed (but not by American intervention). Years later the Lord gave me evidence of how He had answered our heartfelt cry for men & women blinded by the god of this world. Jude 20 tells us to pray as the Holy Spirit tells us to-in this way in, partnership with Christ we alter the direction of people & situations.
@sinbach Father thanks -the Gates of hell can't prevail against the Church Jesus is building. Approve the attendance list so those who attend are discerning and able to turn many to righteousness (Dan. 12:3). Help them to make good use of the time, the opportunity and be wise towards outsiders (Col. 4:5,6). May they be people understanding the times, knowing what to do, brave hearted not double-minded (1 Chr. 12:32,33). Unite their hearts to do what Christ our King has ordered (2 Chr. 30:12). Remind them that others may have human strength but we have Adonai to help us and fight our battles (2 Chr. 32:8). Just as You gave Cyrus access to hidden wealth, grant Your people favour today (Isa. 45:3). Lead them to the highway that provides for Your people (Isa. 35:8-10). Father we humble ourselves before Your throne for the work is great and we don't know what to do. Please do for Your people more than You did for M'nasheh (2 Chr. 33:11-13). May they return with singing. In Jesus name. Amen
@bethany Just like Matthew 13:1-13 says the disasters experienced in these times aid the spread of the#GoodNews
@JeremiahKranig Father guide Your son into ALL truth (Psalm 32:8). May He identify and have the courage to follow Your first choice for him at this time (Psalm 106:15). May he be settled in the knowledge that Your way is perfect (Psalm 18:30). May he not trust his own reasoning and understanding (Proverbs 3:5-7). This I pray in Jesus name amen.
@HimalayanShepherd A typical living example of how #idolatry can destroy a person in spirit, soul, body/health, relationships and finances.
Idolatry blinds so that people cannot see when others rob and disadvantage them.
Father today we pray for the blind to recover their sight and that the eyes of their understanding be enlightened so that they can know the hope of Your calling. We want them to know You called them to be sons and heirs to live in Your presence. Lead them into ALL truth. This we ask in Jesus name according to Your will. Amen.
@PattersonGlenFarm@brighteon.social
Exod. 20:1-6; Ezek. 18:3,6; Lev. 26:1; Deut. 4:12,15-19,23-25; paints a broad picture of #idolatry. According to Scripture there are 5 sins of idolatry. God's definition of idolatry is broad.
God hates idolatry (Isa. 42:8), and the followers of Christ should flee from it (1 John 5:21). Daniel and Revelation provide insights into idolatry being used to subdue peoples & nations.
Understand that until Revelation 11, the Holy Spirit will constrain and hold up a standard against the antichrist (2 Thess.2:7). Even though iniquity was at work in Paul's time it was being constrained.
Now the antichrist appears in Revelation 13. We are now in Revelation 6. But as we get closer to Revelation 11 we will observe trends like the article you featured. Why? Well idolatry is a way to control the minds of crowds blinding them to be robbed & disadvantaged. It brings people under demonic control. People today are being prepped and desensitized to be used to images in public spaces.
@AleXanDrea good for you
@lockdoc85 you tell history so well.
@tanjaostman if the Lord God does not own this world then I don't know who does.
