Somebody who played the Monopoly game is doing it for real in our world. Food supply, railroads, financial institutions, schools, government, housing, politics, medical practices, and wealth, are all controlled by monopolizing entities who desire to orchestrate our lives and guide ethical and moral thinking. Jump out of the box quickly! Do not let the media control your thoughts. What we choose to put into our minds can only be changed by redirecting our focus onto ultimate truth: Jesus!
It is written: “The scepter of the wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous….” (Ps 125:3 NIV)
Ezra was trying to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem. They had just fasted and prayed for wisdom. Ezra states, “The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.” (Ezra 8:22) We are about to see this big time!!!
When it was time for Pharaoh to go under the Red Sea, and the Hebrews to be free, things got worse. The great ruler of Egypt would not listen to Moses and let the Jews go back to their homeland. He decided to double the work and the bondage, and demanded that they make bricks, but they were given no straw, and had to go out and find their own, and then make the same number of bricks. This was…..
When Holy Spirit comes on a person, they are turned into “another man” or a different person. We read this in 1 Samuel 10:6 where Samuel prophesies about King Saul, that he would become someone he was not, just because God would visit him. How we need these visitations from God! We are all imperfect and lacking UNTIL, God comes in power! Pray, fast, separate yourselves, wait upon God, and believe Him for THE MORE!!!
The Resurrection of our Lord had just happened, and the soldiers who guarded his body were well aware that it had supernaturally disappeared. The chief priests of the Jews wanted to stop this news, so they bribed the soldiers with tons of money to say that the body of Jesus was stolen by friends in the middle of the night. With the soldiers’ lies, they deceived many, and covered up the miracle of the Risen Savior. Nothing new under the…..
So you think you have no job to do, and God has everything under control? Listen to what Nehemiah told the leaders of the Jews when they were rebuilding the wall, and their enemies had conspired to stop them from accomplishing it. “Be not ye afraid of them: remember the LORD which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.” (Nehemiah 4:14). I think we are there!!! Pray like…..
Squawl Babies think it is easier to complain about the political and spiritual climate in our world, than it is to worship and believe God for the answers to our prayers. Complain and moan, or praise and receive. “And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD, and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled…” (Numbers 11:1) Would you like to go around this mountain another 40 years? Not me!
