The War Between Our Ears

Recently I had the opportunity to enjoy several weeks of refreshing provided by the Lord. Did it show up in a pretty wrapped box with a gorgeous bow?  No, but it was pretty close to that.  What became abundantly clear to me is that often we need a time of refreshing away from daily stressors and especially to recognize it as such when the Lord presents it. Who would know better what we need than the Holy Spirit?

Is There Reason for Treason?

Many years ago, on the day following my father’s passing, A small package arrived at his home from the U.S. Government.  In it were his military medals and ribbons from that long ago time when he served in the U.S. Navy during WWII. He must have sensed that his time was near when he sent for them. He was never a man to brag about what he had done in his time of service to his country but he was fiercely loyal to our nation and the flag that represented it. When the Pledge of Allegiance would be recited at public events and the national anthem sung, he would get tears in his eyes with his hand over his heart in a sign of respect.

Legislators Must Legislate Righteously

This letter today is shorter but the prayers are longer..Today was the first day of actual Impeachment Inquiry proceedings against the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump..  I did not watch TV since I don’t have one, but I did an awful lot of praying with the Holy Spirit.  I can’t help but wonder what other nations must be thinking about the proceedings that are being played out in the public media.  As a prayer strategy I do believe it is paramount that we pray according to scripture and pray for the Lord’s will to be done in these proceedings.

Praying the End Before the Beginning

During the last several months we have seen violence and chaos in our streets, on campuses, at places of religious worship, in homes, in businesses and government offices. Talks of civil war and slander and accusation in the main stream media.    Disaster after Disaster after disaster has occurred with floods, drought, hurricanes, tornadoes and wildfires. Unexplained explosions and earthquakes.   Terror cels have been broken up and assassination attempts against President Trump have also been averted. Human trafficking and drug smuggling have been exposed.
