Nothing Is Hidden In God’s Sight
We cannot hide anything from God’s presence. These hidden sins are before Him. Therefore, confess them, that He may help you.
Today’s Prayer (11/22/2020)
Oh Lord, I pray that people will repent and come unto You in their confessions. That people will no longer do things when it is convenient for them, but do things also when it is difficult. For how many times do we feel burdened and call upon Your Name for help, and You come to our rescue. But why can’t we do the same for others who are in need of our help? This is what makes no sense to me. I know that I was often this person, but You have delivered me from a life of sin and into a life of showcasing Your love to others. So it would make sense if people have not allowed You to transform their lives yet, that people would be acting so selfish towards people in need. How people put labels on homeless people, so they don’t have to give to them. Saying that they will only use their money for booze or drugs. How untrue this is for so many homeless who are simply hungry and needing some food. How they are in need of new clothes, shoes, coats, and more, but we cannot see past what we think to care for their needs. And not just them. Even our friends and neighbors do we disregard their need for help if we are in a rush or late a night. How people get inconvenienced by the littlest things, but then expect You to always give good gifts to them. I just wish that people would understand that we are Your chosen vessels on earth. And in so doing, we are to act with You being the head of our lives. If people would just allow this to happen, then that heart of generosity and charity would begin to form like no other. These inconveniences would vanish away, where more people would be helped instead. This I know, for You did this to me. Thank You, Jesus. I love You. Amen.
Luke 11:5-7
Luke 11:5-7 (KJV)
5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.

Today’s Prayer (11/21/2020)
Lord, I pray that people will not be ashamed to tell others about You. Many times I have tried to ask people what they mean when they say they believe in You, however, the only thing I get back most of the time is that they are not interested. Their faith is private to them. And this does not make any sense to me, Lord, especially if these people are reading the Bible daily. Wouldn’t they know that You told us to not be ashamed to tell people about You? Sharing our faith is having fellowship with others, and it is a good thing. When people are telling others why they live for You and telling them why they believe in You, this encourages people in the faith. Only when people are not willing to talk to people who are sharing their faith, this only discourages them. Wow! I can’t believe how cold people have become when it comes to talking about their faith. It is like they don’t believe that You called us to open our mouths and share the gospel. I wonder if they don’t do this because they think it will start an argument with someone, but having this mentality is so wrong. People like this so often go in and out of church without talking to many people. They go in and out each week, but don’t understand what it means to go to church. We don’t go there for ourselves, but to be nourished by You in Your Word and also to be encouraged in the faith through our fellowship with others. I just wish people would see the importance of sharing their faith with others. I believe in You. I love You. Amen.
Luke 9:22-24
Luke 9:22-24 (KJV)
22 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.
23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

Today’s Prayer (11/19/2020)
Oh Lord, I pray that the anger in people’s hearts will cease. That people will give all their hatred over to You, that You will mend their hearts and not allow them to be given over to this same anger again. There are walls built up because of undone anger that is in people’s hearts. People attend and are a part of riots that only cause more evil to come into the world than any good. Because of people who are filled up anger, there is contention in homes and even verbal and physical abuse, which is so wrong. And with any sort of anger that is left within us, Your will is unable to take hold of our lives, that the Spirit may come to guide us. We are left alone to fight the battles, which we cannot find victory in. Yes God, this is not the life we wish to live. So take hold of our lives and help us to learn how to love one another. We cannot do this through our own flesh, but only if You are there with us. Lead us through the Holy Spirit, God. We cannot learn to truly forgive others unless every grudge is cast out. And help us learn to say sorry when we have done wrong. It is good to stay humble and not be lifted up in our pride. So bring into our lives meekness and humility. Give us over to a mind that is willing to learn and to take the rebuke from You and others. We know that we are not perfect, and are willing to take any wise counsel that is given. Help us to know the right way to live. Even the right way to treat others. May Your love abound in us at all times and in all places. I love You, Lord. I believe in You. I give You praise and glory and honor, this day and forever. Amen.
Luke 9:52-56
Luke 9:52-56 (KJV)
52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

Today’s Prayer (11/18/2020)
Oh Lord, I pray that people will humble themselves before You. That they would not allow the temptations of the devil to turn their hearts against You. The evil one knows exactly what causes a person to stumble, so unless they are born again, then they will continue to be afflicted. So I pray that people will turn to You for salvation. That they will be baptized and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Only then can they be led by Your hand and not by their own fleshly desires. Our flesh is weak when we are living this life alone, but made strong when You have a hand in it. And concerning people who continue to hang out with friends that are not in the faith, this is only going to cause them to stumble. Unless You are with them, leading by example in Your light, these same people will eventually fall by way of the darkness that their friends are leading them in. Even will they cause them to sin and also justify their actions. For they may say that they are young and have a right to experience life. Later they can repent. And again, so many people think this way, as did the prodigal son. However, praise God that he returned to his father before it was too late. As for other people who procrastinate their day of repentance, most often this is forgotten and they get so consumed with the life they are living that it never comes. Only people who continue to hear Your Word and allow You to come into their lives are saved. For only by allowing You to do a work in their lives are there fruits that are made evident. So it is my prayer that people remember You in their everyday lives. That they will continue to pray often, read and study the Bible daily, and seek and do Your will. This will lead them unto salvation. I love You, Lord. I give You glory and praise. Amen.
Luke 8:15-18
Luke 8:15-18 (KJV)
15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.

What type of person are you? Are you saved and are bringing forth fruits based on your faith? That is the only way salvation comes.

Today’s Prayer (11/17/2020)
Oh Lord, I pray that we will remember how important it is to be doing Your will now, not just in the past. How things done in the past are wonderful if You were involved, but that these thoughts should not make us think that our part is done in Your kingdom. For the time we think this way is when we will start to find time for other things. These things could be worldly in nature and even sinful at that. Lord, anything that is taking people’s time away from You needs to stop. I just don’t understand how people can be living for You one day and not the next. How can people allow themselves to go the way of the prodigal and start justifying their actions also. There will be a day and a time set forth for people who gave up their first love for things of this world. How their fleshly desires become more important to them than You. But this does not have to be the case for people. There is still time to repent and You are still gracious to forgive people who have fallen into sin. Our destination is not set in stone until either Your return or when we die and I pray that in either moment we will be found doing Your will. As for me, I will live my life for You. May there be less of me and more of You. May Your ways become my ways also. I love You, Lord. You are my God and I worship You. Amen.

Today’s Prayer (11/16/2020)
Oh Lord, I pray that people will make a stand today to not get the COVID Vaccine when it comes out. More and more signs indicate that there will be a mark with it, in order to show that people are vaccinated. Which closely resembles the mark of the beast. Lord, I am using wisdom, as the Bible says, and I am seeing that this mark will cause people to not be able to buy or sell. We are already going through this with the mask mandate and times will only get worse. But one thing that we know for certain is that You are our protector. Even our fortress, whom we can put our trust in and go to for safety in times of uncertainty. But Lord, if it is needed for us to go through tribulation before we can finally rest in your presence I am ready. But please take me by the hand and help me through the pains and turmoil that is to come. Help me and others in the faith to stay strong and to continue to resist temptations, both small and great. Even the temptations that look to be so good on the outside, help us to rightly distinguish the fraud that it is. Even the Coronavirus vaccine, of which the news media is making out to be harmless. Earlier in the year in March, you brought it to my attention that a vaccination was coming. This happened even before it was spoken of and made known to the public. And praise God that You showed me the future to come. I could have come into this pandemic blinded with all the fake news, but You loved me so much as to show me how to prepare for it. And how do we prepare for a vaccine mandate and the mark along with it? We continue to pray. We continue to read the Bible. We continue to fellowship one with another. We continue to do the work of ministry that You have called us to. We will love our enemies as You have us called us to also. Lord, I am ready to die for You. My faith in You means more than any special privilege that may come with getting the vaccine, along with the mark. I love You more, Lord. I give you glory and praise. Amen.
Revelation 14:9-11
Revelation 14:9-11 (KJV)
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

Today’s Prayer (11/15/2020)
Oh Lord, I pray that we will put You in our remembrance at all times and in places. That You will not be distant in our lives, but close to our hearts. Only when we draw near unto You, can You draw near unto us. We cannot continue in our sinful ways and think that You are ok with our lives. Just like the prodigal son did, we ought to repent and come back to You for forgiveness. Then, can our lives get back in order again. You are able to raise us up into newness of life all over again if we would just put our trust in You. I know that all things are possible for those people who seek Your hand and don’t lose heart in You. Prayer is also so important, but so often it is forgotten altogether. Sure, people pray over food as a family ritual, but personal and family prayer is what is lacking. The same goes for Bible study. People do so well at church with finding time to read Your Word, but at home, this is another story. Because their phone, TV, computer, and other devices take their attention, You are left in the dark. So again, I ask every person who says they are a believer why they cannot put You first? How come other things are more important to them when only You can save their soul from hell? I just wish that people would decide, once and for all, to go all in. That they would understand what they are putting ahead of You and cast them aside altogether if needed. And if there is good to come out of these devices still, help them find ways to use them for personal growth and ministry reasons. Sometimes the thing we use don’t have to be cast out, but how we use them needs to change. And You know exactly how that can happen. We just need to reach out to You for answers. I love You, Lord. I believe in You. Amen.
1 Peter 5:8-11
1 Peter 5:8-11 (KJV)
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Today’s Inspiration (11/15/2020)
There is only one way that we can make the devil leave us. It is to stay in the light of Jesus. Then can we resist temptation.
