DON'T RUN WITH THE HERD

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. You shall not follow the masses in doing evil, nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after a multitude in order to pervert justice; You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said, "I WILL DWELL IN THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM; AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.

Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.

And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.

But you did not learn Christ in this way, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus. Therefore, laying aside falsehood, SPEAK TRUTH EACH ONE of you WITH HIS NEIGHBOR, for we are members of one another.

(Rom 12:2) (Exo 23:2) (Jas 4:4) (2Co 6:14-16) (1Jn 2:15,17) (Eph 2:1-2) (Eph 4:20,21,25)

Oh Lord, What Do We Do Now?

With this massive hurricane approaching and millions of people on the move, prayerful voices are being lifted through Christ to God's ear. Prayers of deliverance, of support, of mercy, and of God's mighty grace.

Let there be no doubt, this system of huge storms will leave scars on the hearts of many for the balance of their days. For believers, we place our full faith and trust in His power to bring us through any storm and deliver us in peace when the blue skies return. Though our hearts might be broken, Your love O' Lord will get us all through, Amen.

(Psa 34:4) I sought the LORD, and He answered me, And delivered me from all my fears.

Call out to your Creator. Call His name. Open a precious dialog with Jesus, it all starts here.

(Psa 34:6) This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him And saved him out of all his troubles.

If you have accepted our Lord into your heart. If you have been baptized with the Holy Spirit, you know immediately that prayers are heard and more importantly, prayers are answered. Lean on Him, invite His love and protection in all trials that you face.

(Psa 91:2) I will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!

Call His name, unload all your fears upon His shoulders. He loves to be your Hero.

(Psa 91:7, 9-11) A thousand may fall at your side And ten thousand at your right hand, But it shall not approach you. For you have made the LORD, my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place. No evil will befall you, Nor will any plague come near your tent. For He will give His angels charge concerning you, To guard you in all your ways.

You see, God, through His grace, has placed instructions on everything you will ever need to overcome any earthly catastrophe foisted against you in the Bible. Trust Him. Read His word. Know His heart and His love for you.

(Psa 23:1-6) The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. Surely goodness and loving kindness will follow me all the days of my life,

And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever, Amen

DO YOU DRINK FROM THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE?

For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, The fountain of living waters, To hew for themselves cisterns, Broken cisterns That can hold no water.

How precious is Your loving kindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; And You give them to drink of the river of Your delights. For with You is the fountain of life.

Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, My servants will eat, but you will be hungry. Behold, My servants will drink, but you will be thirsty. Behold, My servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame.

Whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life. – This He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

"Ho! Every one who thirsts, come to the waters; And you who have no money come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk Without money and without cost. – The Spirit and the bride say, "Come." And let the one who hears say, "Come." And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost.

(Jer 2:13) (Psa 36:7-9) (Isa 65:13) (Joh 4:14) (Joh 7:39) (Isa 55:1) (Rev 22:17)

The floodgates of the sky were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.

(Gen 8:2)

Lord, our God, have mercy on those who have seen first hand the awesome power and destructive force of water. Grant those who suffer and who will yet suffer the benefit of Your mighty healing arm. Light their paths, all those who call upon You,  instill in them the needed stamina, courage, drive and patience to recover and begin anew. Smooth the road of their recovery, Dear Jesus, fill them with hope, O Holy Spirit. Turn Your face to them and give them great strength, wisdom and discernment as tomorrow evolves. We ask this in the Name of the Christ, Jesus of Nazareth, Hallelujah, AMEN.

The days ahead will be horrible for many. Losses of material possessions great. Days will turn into weary nights as the piles of what was formerly so important now lies in heaps near the road. How quickly man's creations perish. The Great Downsizing has occurred for many. Prayers of thanksgiving fill the ether that many lives were spared, losing only stuff. Stuff that was perishable.

(Mat 6:19-20) "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal.

Today it seems that nothing will ever be the same again. You would be correct. Tomorrow you will look to the life that courses through your body, the breath that fills your lungs, and the resulting ability to begin the journey anew.

Future treasures [possessions] should be stored in Heaven. Grieve over the piles of that which now lies wet and rotting at the curb. Then say goodbye. The memories contained therein now will be deposited in the archive of your believing, beating heart, safe and secure forever.

We pray for you, each one. Every precious soul caught up in this terrible deluge. In our hearts we attempt to share your pain;

(Job 6:2-3) "Oh that my grief were actually weighed And laid in the balances together with my calamity! For then it would be heavier than the sand of the seas...

Know, dear friend, that you are not alone. Through His mighty grace, prayer warriors from all over the earth are with you moment by moment, praying intercession for your plight. Lift your voice to He who created you. Give Him your anguish and your fears. Lay this heavy burden at the foot of the Cross. Open your heart to His mighty strength and perfect healing. Let Him fill you with His perfect love.

Allow yourself to look beyond tomorrow and to a new beginning, a fresh start, and a revival of Faith in Almighty God, Amen and Amen.
