Good morning šāļøš
I woke up this morning thinking of Speaker Mike Johnson and his need for a strong prayer covering and I thought about the America we once knew. Is she gone forever? God knows. I do know we no longer wield moral authority in the world.
This passage came to mind.
Ephesians 6: 10-19 (NIV).
The Armor of God
ā10Ā Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Ā Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devilās schemes. 12Ā For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Ā Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Ā Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15Ā and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16Ā In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Ā Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.ā
Be safe and blessed. Pray for yourselves, your families, leaders, and other nations. #MikeJohnson #prayer #Congress
Greetings š
We must never forget our special relationship with the creator of the universe. We who believe have placed our faith in his divine plan for our lives. Maranatha!
Ā āI am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. āI am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.ā
John 15: 1-5 (NIV).
Greetings,
We should never forget the Sermon on the Mount.
āNow when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them.
He said:
āBlessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.
Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.ā
Matthew 5: 1-7...
