daily prayer

    Good morning! How are we faithing? Where have you compromised your convictions? Do you know what your convictions are? Are they in line with the Word? Many denominations are succumbing to cultural changes these days and the Word even tells us this will happen. Have you done the same? We must check our views to the Word. If something comes on the news and you feel a certain way or rather take sides, ask yourself why you feel that way and check the Word to see if you are in line with God or man. It may be that you have aligned yourself with the world and not even realized it. People, times are changing and we will come to a point where we as believers will need to go underground. I see the churches as we know them going away. I see a time where if we do not adhere to certain trains of thought and actions the churches will close. Tax exemptions, submitting sermons, tolerance, certain things never said because of offence or even breaking of law will become the norm. Don't think so? Don't be fooled. It's already happening all over the world. The decisions being made in the supreme court, in our government and even locally will change the landscape as we know it. The Word tells us this is so therefore prepare for persecution. My being able to write this and submit it will eventually go away. David went through it, Jesus went through it. Solomon, the wisest man ever succumbed to public pressures. While we are still free to worship and speak we had better be wise and solidify our convictions, know why we have them and be ready to take what comes for them. Be ye forewarned.

Php 1:9-11
  And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in full knowledge and in all perception; that you may distinguish between things that differ, that you may be sincere and without offense until the day of Jesus Christ,  being filled with the fruits of righteousness through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Rom 12:2
 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, in order to prove by you what is that good and pleasing and perfect will of God.

2Co 11:13-15
  For such ones are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.   Did not even Satan marvelously transform himself into an angel of light?  Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves as ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works.

remember Rick...

Heavenly Father,

  Thank you for your Word that is always right. Thank you for a country we can still worship without fear. Lord we ask for a revival in this nation before it's too late. Show up in the churches and reveal all truth so the wheat and chaff can be separated. Lead us down that narrow path to your freedom and grace. Open our eyes to the needs of others, in Jesus name, amen
