If we hear the sound of children asking for help. We are on our way to true religion. Not a fakey shakey kind that attracts play actors who are only attracted to the benefits of Christian service. We must help the orphans and widows first.
This is true religion.

Digging Through Spiritual Trash.
How do we know if we blame God for actions that the devil committed with the questions like, How can God allow me to suffer? When is my time of relief from this suffering coming?
The answer the time of refreshing and resource is already here, and I believe there is greater coming, but people can throw spiritual trash at us. And we can lash back at them and use another spiritual principle as an a smoke screen by saying we are speaking the truth in love. It is up to us if we let anyone's action offend us. If we are really wanting to help a brother or sister by correcting them in love these questions that must be answered.
If we want to get out of the Spiritual Trash. We must know if we as in the corporate church are mad at our brother as a whole. Because there is a blessing in unity. Are you your brothers keeper? We can make excuses and say I am discipling the sister or brother and I am in authority over them so I must tell them the Truth. Or is there an offence there. I heard a sermon by a brother John Bevere based on his book the Bait of Satan. He talks about taking offense as being the chief problem when one falls into any type of sin. Forgiving is a principle that is the answer to the problem of offence and must not be mistaked as a weakness.
So I'm all for getting out of the trash. Join me and take the high road and don't take offense so easily. Harsh joking and being hypocritical by acting like we are something we are not. For example supposing that we have no limitations in this time of refreshing is not conducive to unity in the Body of Christ. There is a commanded blessing in unity but offense and strife will break and cause division. There are some things that money cannot buy. Peace is one of them but restful slumber in a a state of false peace is dangerous.
So if you find yourself restless it could be a warning from the Lord Jesus Himself that something is wrong and it is time to take action. Forgive, because that is a Principle that is ingrained in fundamental or should a say basic Christianity. Thank and praise your way into the tabernacle not made with human hands and run to His mercy seat in the time of need. Father God has need of us. We must not waste our time in the trash.

Engage
Children obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Ephesians 6:1
How many of us have Godly Spiritual parents that mentor us and train us up in the way that we should go. Are we submitting to those Spiritual parents as a child should obey their parents. Authority comes when we submit to authority. Whether it be political authority or civil authority any other authority that God has put on this earth.
(Romans 13:1 KJV)
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
I often disagree with our current administration on some ideas, but I must honor my governmental authorities. In God I cannot slander them or disrespect them as Romans 13:1 says. I must pray for our president and ask God that He guide Him into making wise choices for our nation.
1 Timothy 2:1-6 KJV I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; (2) For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. (3) For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; (4) Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. (5) For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; (6) Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
All of our wise choices come from wise decisions that spring from prayer. Prayers for each other and prayers corporately as a collective church. So as we go to our voting booths be they electronic or otherwise. We must engage in actively seeking to shape how the executive branch looks.
If our leaders are corrupt so goes our nation. If our leaders are a blessing our nation will be blessed.

The Rejected
He hears us in our prayers and meditations. What does it take for blessed assurance that God hears us and loves us with an everlasting Love. Will it take a whirlwind of fire as in the days of Elisha. Or can we hear His still small voice amongst the voices of people. God will meet you where you are.
What doest thou here, Elijah?
God asks this question today of us who grow weary in well doing. He does not always answer in the whirlwind. But is the still small voice a lesser miracle. Because God sometimes chooses the foolish things to confound the wise. Remember even the least in the Kingdom of God is greater than Elijah who received a greater anointing than his mentor. Our King is Jesus who says this in Luke 7:28.
Many of us are here in the cave because in our hopelessness we have played with the fire of our enemy the Devil who was known as Satan and goes by many other names. Pro 6:28, Psa 139:8 But God will meet you where you are. He doesn't want that any human would perish in their sins. His mercy and loving kindness endures forever. Don't refuse Our Lord Jesus when He ask you, What are you doing here?
Some others are in the cave because of service to our King. And even others are there because of a mixture of both. But God will meet you where you are. Our enemy wants to kill us spiritually and physically but his motives are to take as many people to Hell with him as he can. Jesus Calls us out of the cave of the cares of this world. And for this reason there is work to be done. And Jesus wants you. Weak tired or broken it does not matter. Jesus is on the potter's wheel prepared to make us over again.
Jeremiah 18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
So we submit to God making us new again. But others want to remind you of your faults and short comings. Your past failures or your current ones that you have repented for. What should you do? Remember the still small voice that drew you out of your cave of sin. And know that He loves and does not remind us of the past or any current weakness unless it needs to be dealt with. Otherwise you should reject all voices that heap on condemnation. Our medicine is God's companionship.
Humanism is relying on others to be your god for you. And Jesus will allow anyone who wants to to stay in the cave and wait for a replacement. But the counterfeit is not the original.
We all need to talk to God and His people. But what if His people don't want to talk to you? They just want a to fellowship with God but not His people. Or you don't fit into someone else's idea of a good enough Christian to fellowship with. Remember He will meet you where you are. Jesus accepts the rejected in the Beloved. Jesus says in Matthew 19:29
Matthew 19:29 KJV
(29) And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
Remember He will meet with you. So ask Him.

Old School Coversion
Everyone wants power to do what they need to do in their daily lives. No matter what field of study or system one finds themselves in. We all need power. Power to learn or use a skill, to overtake a field of study for God. God's goodness is His person. In other words all good gifts come from God. So if you want a gift of power to overtake obstacles from God you have to know Him and His Son Jesus.
So just ask God to make himself known to you in your everyday life right now. Pray this prayer with me.
Thank You God that You give all Your children authority over their enemies and authority to occupy territory for Your Kingdom on this earth. I ask now that you forgive any sins that I have committed that have hindered the working of Your supernatural power in my life. I want to be in the family of God and I thank Jesus for making a way for me to be in the Kingdom of God by dying on the cross and being raised from the dead by the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of Truth. Help me to believe that Jesus now lives in me because he turns no one away who approaches Him honestly.
Thank you that as you receive our prayer and accept us into your family that this same Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead now dwells in us. Thank You Holy Spirit for giving us the power to live a life set apart from parts of this world's system that are not controlled by Your children. Help us to live a life set apart totally for Your use. AMEN (so be it)

Get Oil
How do we stop our dependance on forien oil. Drill safe offshore? In Alaska? How do we make it safe for our economy. There is always risk in business but eleven people died someone should be accountable for this. Lives are worth more than oil money. Just a thought? I hope the Attorney General finds evidence to convict or let BP go free, just investagate so justice can be served.

Why So Personal?
Can we stick to the politics. Instead of smear tactics of peoples personal lives. That is so high school. I have nothing against high school but we are supposed to be setting the example for our youth as adults.
Just a thought.
Just a thought.
