We see the power struggle of all time taking shape, the end game between darkness and light, good and evil, God and Satan himself. The Lion and the Lamb, portend our God wins, in the end. It's time to fortify, strengthen and embolden our spiritual muscle. Prayer awareness and understanding are key.
God's terms cannot be changed by man, no matter what kind of laws man decides to write.
God's terms are often put to us, in pictures - like the Lion and the Lamb. Beautiful. Powerful. Clear.
God's terms are brought, taught and caught, through the Holy Spirit Himself. He does everything well and no purpose of His can be withheld from Him.
"I know You can do everything and that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You." Job 42:2.
"Your way, not our way. Yahweh, not My way."(a cindism, or "caught thought" from long ago!)
"But you shall seek the place where the LORD our God chooses," Deuteronomy 12:5
"You shall not at all do as we are doing here today - every man doing whatever is right in his own eyes" Deuteronomy 12:8
"Observe and obey all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you and your children after you forever, when you do what is good and right in the sight of the LORD your God."
Deuteronomy 12:28
"Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it or take away from it." Deuteronomy 12:32
"THE WORLD IS NOT FALLING APART.
ALL IS DIVINELY FALLING INTO PLACE." (combined famous quotes that made sense to me)
The very CENTER OF THE BIBLE says: "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man." Psalm 118:8
The very next verse says to trust and put confidence in God, not in governments: "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes." Psalm 118:9
WE WANT TO SIMPLY FOLLOW JESUS - JESUS, the perfect, unlimited, SOURCE of POWER, that PIERCES into DARKNESS to SAVE.
Father of all GOODNESS, choice, order and vanquisher of confusion, it is to You we come to form and inform our prayers. Please, order our thoughts, feelings and actions SO THAT WE REFELCT YOU, SO THAT WE SHINE YOU INTO THE DARKNESS, SO THAT WE ARE SINCERE, SIMPLE AND LIVE SAVED. Help us LIVE SAVED trusting You despite and because of what we see, hear, feel and suffer. We want to practice Your presence no matter what is happening.
We see the power struggle of all time taking shape, knowing it is all happening according to Your plan for the ages. Nothing is falling apart, but all is being put into place according to Your higher ways. Please allow our lives to point the lost to finding You. Many see judgement building, judgement coming and yet do NOT KNOW YOU ARE THE JUDGE. Please make us useful to You. Place us where You want us. Make us trust and obey Your ways of moving us. You built us to follow, not lead You! Bend our wills to Yours. Please allow us to follow only You, closely. We thank You for Your presence during suffering. That You want none to perish. Thanks also for believers who pray, at this moment for their own tormentors, killers and jailers, because they and YOU WANT NONE TO PERISH. Teach us to pray, FOR GOODNESS SAKE!
WE WANT TO FOLLOW JESUS. We pray peace to Israel in the matchless name of the only one who is GOOD, our Jesus, so we pray, FOR GOODNESS SAKE. Amen.
