Today’s Prayer (05/13/2020)

Oh Lord, I pray the people will listen up to what You have spoken in scripture. Some prophecies in the Bible have not have happened yet, but could very well happen in ours. All I know, Lord, is that Your words are sharper than a two-edged sword. My heart is always convicted of truth when I read Your words. I no longer wish to live a backslidden life but to go all-in for Your kingdom. Even my strength is gained because You fill me up with the fire from heaven. It is Your presence that changes us from within and drives us to live a life that is pleasing in Your sight. Even every idol that we have kept captive in our own lives, You convict us of such things, that we may not only throw them out but burn them up also. Surely, we cannot go around living our own lives, which are fifthly in Your sight, and still believe we are going to heaven. Just as people needed to do in the times of the bible, people need to continue to do now, which is to repent of their wicked ways and follow You, Lord. Otherwise, we will be cast off forever in the lake of fire, come judgment day. So God, please convict every person that says they are a Christian, to live as a Christian also. If they say they are something, then may they also live out their faith. I care for these people. I really do, but so many of them are hard-hearted and do not wish to hear the truth of God. They are content with their current lifestyle and justify it daily. Because they are blinded, they cannot see the amount of sin and idolatry that is in their lives now. How far people have strayed in these dark times we live in. Only a few people who really love You and walk in Your ways will be saved. Thank you for saving a wretch like me and pointing me on Your righteous path. I love You, Lord. I worship You, Jesus. Amen.

 

1 Kings 13:1-3

1 Kings 13:1-3 (KJV)
1 And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the Lord unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.
2 And he cried against the altar in the word of the Lord, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men’s bones shall be burnt upon thee.
3 And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the Lord hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.
