Seventeen Days of Prayer--Day Two--January 5, 2021

-

 

Our prayer for DAY TWO:

 

Father God, as we boldly enter into Your throne room through the torn veil, the body and shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ,[1] we humble ourselves in Your presence. Thank you for allowing us to enter and Lord Jesus, for dying on the cross to pay the penalty for our sin.[2]

 

You alone are Holy, good, and true.[3] Only You deserve our honor, praise, and worship for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved, but Jesus Christ.[4] Thank you for sealing us, Your servants, with and by the power of Your Holy Spirit.[5]

 

O Lord, my God, we beseech you today. You are the One who made the earth, the man and the beast that are on the ground. You did this by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm. You alone have the right to give it to whom it seemed proper to You.[6]

 

Right this moment, we again humble ourselves and acknowledge Your right, authority, and sovereignty to perform all that You have planned for us, our nation, and this world that You have created. We know Your timing is perfect. We surrender and we trust you completely. As Your true children, yet finite beings, we do not know the future or how close we are to Jesus returning for His bride, the church, so we beg for Your mercy. Please deliver us from evil.[7]

 

Have Your way, O Lord, in this time. We look to You, and You only, for our future. You, our Triune Lord God, are merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth.[8] We love You with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. In the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior, our Lord, our All in All we pray, Amen and amen.

  WHAT IS TRUTH? Part 1   Flaming torches lit the road as guards carrying swords and clubs surrounded Him. Throughout the night, they tortured, tried, and convicted Him, even though four days earlier, citizens hailed Him as Messiah the Prince. [1] A nearby rooster crowed while a sliver of white light crested the horizon, and a cloaked figure ran from the courtyard weeping. Morning brightened the streets but not the hateful temperaments. Torches doused until night returned, and the evil parade marched on to the Praetorium. https://christianevidences.org/the-praetorium-antonia-fortress-jerusalem/   Outside this notorious citadel, self-righteous Pharisees who had named themselves His judge and jury summoned Pontius Pilate. Normally, a criminal would be escorted inside to the Bema—the judgment seat—but it was Passover. Entering a Gentile dwelling caused defilement making the Jew unable to partake. What a contradiction—what a joke—since they had the TRUE Passover Lamb in...

Whatever Happened to Live and Let Live?

         I’ve always loved the movie The Hiding Place —Hollywood’s version of the life of Christian author and speaker Corrie Ten Boom and her family. The Ten Boom’s were arrested for hiding and helping Jews during the German occupation of Holland in World War II. Betrayed by Hollanders who prided themselves in obeying German law, the Ten Boom family spent several years in concentration camps. God graciously rescued Corrie, but most of her family died there.         More recently, I found another movie, The Zookeeper’s Wife , a true account of Antonina and Jan Zabinski, who also hid Jews when the Germans occupied Poland. Yad Vashem in Israel aptly recognized them with the “Righteous Among The Nations” honor.          I love Israel. And it breaks my heart to see the unquenched resurgence of anti-Semitism in New York City. Or to be reminded of Jews suffering at the hands of pure evil—Hitler and his Naz...

Is The Wood Dry?

    https://upload.wikimedia.org/ wikipedia/commons/4/41/Fire.JPG Going camping anytime soon? Yes, fun! But don’t use fresh-cut, green branches for your fire. Why? They don’t burn immediately. Green wood contains a high moisture content, leading to incomplete combustion and excessive smoke… [1] It takes about six months for green wood to be dried and correctly seasoned so the wood does not create pollution or a creosote build-up. [2]   A fresh-cut branch or green wood is new—at the beginning of the seasoning or drying process. So, keep this in mind as you read.   Are you as frustrated as I am with the events of the past three and a half years? Whoever thought we’d see Americans held as political prisoners by our own government? Or illegals invading through open borders, and these same non-citizens voting? Whoever thought we’d suffer another round of skyrocketing inflation with gas and grocery prices so high we can barely make ends meet? Did we ever...
