Will we live in lack or luxury? Will we dwell in depression or deliverance? Choices....we all have choices. God has not promised us a rosy road or a trouble -free life. What we are promised is that when our journey comes to an end, when we shed our tent for His palace we will be free, forgiven and dwell in His Amazing Grace for all eternity.

The world as we have come to know it no longer exists.  We closed the door to goodness when we drove God out of our education system and left ourselves wide open to the powers of darkness...and in they came.  Subtly at first, but over time they garnered more and more and more until now our nation is a shell of its former self.

From the White House and halls of Congress to school room and library we see chaos and carnage. Roe v Wade was reversed, but gender reassignment has taken its place. Antisemitism is rampant, hatred abounds, our nation is in shambles, we are being invaded by many who hate and want a handout not a helping hand and yet millions of churches remain silent and apathetic. Our hearts should be broken, our knees worn and knobby, but.....

Prayer is much discussed but seldom practiced. Call a prayer meeting and only a few attend. It has been reported that many pastors admit they only pray about 8 minutes 'a week!' We have yet to realize the power we have been given by The Almighty. 

"I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." Matthew 16

For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. 2 Timothy 1

"If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. You know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you." John 14

"If My people who are called by My Name humble themselves, and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14

We cannot afford to ignore the wonderful gift of prayer we have been given. God hears us when we pray. It is time.....children of God....it is time to pray!!!
