Furnace Prayers: The Great Exchange

My Lord and my God,

You are Truth. You alone. You alone are worthy of praise and YOU are the center of all things. The universe exists through the Son.

John 1:1-3
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

How are there galaxies without end? You know.
How can the universe have no limits?

You are without end or beginning.

Psalm 90:2 2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

Numbers, space…both continue in every directions without limits. You are without boundaries …but YOU were First! Only You could create something that is limitless. Eternity is limitless. You invite us to join You. Thank You.

You are the uncreated, ever existent, all knowing, without beginning or end. You, God are uncreated. You always have been, You always existed. There is none like You.

How small I am, How little. A teeny speck. How, in the history of all mankind, from the first human until now –over 6,000 years –How O God, and why did You search me out? Jesus, how did You fashion me from my mother’s womb? How do You know all there is to know about me? When You were on the cross… how did You have me on Your mind?

It is beyond my comprehension that You went to the cross…for me. Not a bunch of people, not a mass of broken, fallen humanity… but for me.

How is it that You know my name?

You know the hairs on my head. You knew how much I would need You —and You came. You came, knowing all my sin…every one. You came to pay the price, that I might live.

How can I deny You? What is in me that I have withheld? Teach me.

You gave ALL. You gave everything. You exchanged ALL for me…a speck in the murky, tepid, sinful sea of humanity.

The Exchange Rate
Was it a monetary exchange? Like visiting a foreign country and exchanging one currency for another? The rate of exchange is simple: one sin = death. That’s the wage. That’s the cost.

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Thank You for seeing value in me. The exchange rate serves justice. But You entered in.

What is of value in the universe? Only one thing: the souls of men and women. That’s the only currency of value and Your enemy seeks our souls for himself.

The Great Exchange
You came for the great exchange! That's why You came! ...to make the exchange!

• You were punished that we might be forgiven.
• You were wounded that we might be healed.
• You are made sin with our sinfulness, that we might be made righteous with Your righteousness.
• You died our death that we might receive Your life.
• You endured our poverty that we might share Your abundance.
• You bore our shame that we can share in Your glory.
• You endured our rejection that we might haveYour acceptance with the Father.
• You were made a curse, that we might enter into the blessing.
• ...and so much more.

And all these are irreversible? When we receive them, we become Yours and under Your protection.

John 10:28-30
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

30 I and my Father are one.

The Great Deceiver and Imitator
Father, Lord and Savior, Holy Spirit…Your (our) enemy is an imitator. He is not a creator and he hates You. He imitates You to deceive us. He is stealthy and he has studied humanity since You created Adam.

He is determined to take as many souls away from You as he can. Souls…spirits. You have made us spirit, soul, and body. We seem to have combined spirit and soul into one; our bodies, trained with sin and living in this broken world, will die. But our souls, our intellect and emotions, and our spirits - where we connect with You, will live on.

You have provided the way to live on with You. Satan provides the way for us to live on with him. We get to decide.

Draw me to You. Teach me of any part of me that I have withheld from You.

I know it is Your will that all men be saved. Make those of us who are Yours, a clear testimony, a walking advertisement that would draw others to You.

Save the children.

Maranatha. Come quickly Lord Jesus.

Furnace Prayers: Freed from bondage

Father, Lord, and Holy Spirit,

God of mercy and justice:
You are the God of mercy. You are the God who hears the cries of those who love You. You are the God who wants all men to be saved. You are gracious, compassionate, and forbearing.

You are also a God of justice.

Matthew 5:45
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

Proverbs 21:15
It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

You are the God who sees. Though You send the rain on the just and the unjust, the unjust are not dismissed from Your judgement. Thank You.

How do You see people? Do You put labels on each of us? I think not.

Only two types of people:
Those saved by the Messiah, who is Jesus Christ…whose sins are forgiven…and those who are not,

I take great comfort that You seek people out to bring them Truth.

Isaiah 65:1
I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.

You are also found by those who seek You.

Jeremiah 29:13
13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Thank You for these promises. Thank You for Your heart that all men find relationship with You. Thank You that You love all and deeply desire for us to come to You.

Please give those who do not know You a deep hunger and thirst for Your righteousness, and that You will reveal Yourself to them and freely give them the righteousness of Christ…paid in full,

We are in bondage:
Father, on so many levels, we are in bondage.
We are bound to division on every stage: politically, race, gender…and so many more. Families are divided. How many of these divisions are because of misunderstandings?

Misunderstandings continue because people do not want to listen to understand. Diversion, distraction brings the cancellation of friendships, civil conversation, unity in doing good. Where conversation is allowed, people walk on piles of eggshells…bound by invisible chains which stifle their freedom to speak.

You are the God who breaks the bonds!
You see the bondage of nations. It does not escape You. You see the bondage of the United States of America.

Acts 7:7
And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.

Bondage is not from You:

Romans 8:15
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

As the nation of Israel is Yours, will You send the Spirit of adoption to these United Stats…who are still One Nation Under God?

Will You deliver us?

Romans 8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

I ask it. Hear the cry of Your servant who joins You in Your will that all men be saved.

Maranatha!

Furnace Prayers: March of the innocent

Father, Lord, and Holy Spirit,

You are the God who upholds righteousness. You made Righteousness available to all who believe in Your Salvation: Jesus, Yeshua.

I read: “Yeshua” is the Hebrew word for “Jesus.” The name means “to rescue, to save, or to deliver.”

Hands that shed innocent blood
You have clearly outlined what You hate:

Proverbs 6:16-17
16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

Jesus, You were innocent. You were sacrificed …You exchanged Your innocence for my guilt. Thank You.

It amazes me that although they tried to convict You by the testimony of two witnesses, those witnesses couldn’t get their lies to agree!

Mark 14: 55-59
55 And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.

56 For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.

57 And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,

58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.

59 But neither so did their witness agree together.

How were You convicted? By Your own words in v62.

62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

Thank You that You took total responsibility for laying down Your life:

John 10:17-18
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

* * * False witnesses
False witnesses are coming forth every day against innocent people. Some blatantly speak out lies while others confirm them as truth. You hate this. I am so sorry. The main-stream media overwhelms our ears and minds with a plethora of falsehoods. They find thousands of people to agree that lies are truth.

So many people move quickly to affirm the lies. Father, if they do retract their false statements, their accusations, their narratives…it is weeks or longer and then buried where no one will see it. There is no repentance. There is no change toward truth. Forgive us. Help us.

This movement has migrated from the big-picture agendas all the way to individuals. Climate change…and now…to Matt Gaetz. I cannot help but consider Mr. Trump and General Flynn. I know there are many others.

Sins of omission?
Does it come down to knowing what is right and not doing it? You tell us about this in Your Word:

James 4:17
Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.

Matthew 25:45
Then He will answer them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’

We stand guilty.

Your command:

Psalms 82:4
Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

That’s clear. What isn’t clear is how we are to do this. We need Your help, Your guidance, Your strength and courage. I ask it.

Requests:

• Expose the lies…even in their magnitude.
• Open our eyes to see our sin regarding false information.
• Press us to seek and confirm truth.
• Teach us to stand for truth.
• Show each of us how we can contribute to the delivery of innocent people being persecuted.
• As we see innocent people being publicly slandered, shamed, and illegally and immorally condemned; show us how to have a voice and stand for Truth.
• As we see scenarios, narratives that are cover-up, distort, deceive, and distract people from truth; show us how to push against it, speak out and direct people to the Truth.
• Please take down the lies and expose the corruption here in the United States.

May Truth rise up. May we stand for Truth. May we come together as One Nation Under God.

Hear my prayer,

Maranatha!

Furnace Prayers: Save the children

Lord God, who holds my heart, my life, my time, and my attention,

From Psalm 38: Help Lord!
I am grieved in my spirit and heaviness weighs down my spirit,
As I see the goings on in this nation and the world, I can only believe that You too are heavy from what I’m seeing.

(v6)
I am troubled. I am bowed down greatly. I spirit mourns as I consider the plight of stolen children.

(v8)
I am feeble and sore broken. Silent screams emanate forth as I consider the work of our enemy, Satan. I believe You hear them. They may fall on deaf human ears, but my insides writhe at I consider what these precious children are enduring. Truly, (v8) I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

(vs9-11)
O gracious Father, my desire is before thee; and my groaning and heavy heart is not hid from Thee. My heart is so heavy, and my strength fails me. I struggle to consider the work of the day…the images of helpless children fill my mind and heart.

(v12)
You know our enemy hates me and lays snares for me. You know the attacks in the last weeks on me and my clients. There is deception all the day long.

I will not attend to his ways. I will not bend to the lies that there is no hope.

(vs16-18)
Will you let them rejoice over me, over evil? The enemy laughs when my foot slips and I fall. They magnify themselves over me, my work, and my life. But YOU have taken my iniquity from me.

(vs19 - 20)
Our enemy is hot on my hells. His wiles multiply in number and strength. They render evil for good. They are my adversaries…but they are Your adversaries as well, because I am Yours.

(vs21-22)
Forsake me not, O LORD; O my God, be not far from me. Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation. You approve:
From Your Word, You vehemently oppose human trafficking. You call Your servants to stand against this. I will stand.

Psalm 82:4 ESV
Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”

Proverbs 31:8-9 ESV
Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.

Isaiah 61:1 ESV
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

Ezekiel 34:16 ESV
I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak, and the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed them in justice.

Psalm 35:10 ESV
All my bones shall say, “O Lord, who is like you, delivering the poor from him who is too strong for him, the poor and needy from him who robs him?”

Requests:
Yes Lord, by Your might. By Your Spirit, I ask:

• Save the children caught in trafficking.
• Protect those who go in to get them, and their families.
• Raise up awareness of what is going on in the theft of children.
• Strengthen us tp actively engage in the removal of this Cabal.
• Fill us with determination to fight for them, until they are all free.

May we not stand before You in ignorance, denial, or embarrassment on this matter.

Maranatha!

Furnace Prayers: ...in the Wilderness of Sin with the junkyard bulldog

Oh God, my God:

How long, O Lord, will You tolerate the works of Your enemy against us? Your Word tells me that You will never leave me or forsake me. Thank You.

Immigration is now without boundaries as our nation continues to deteriorate. Those in power, with the stroke of a pen, inflict wound after wound. Our borders have been desecrated as millions of migrants storm through the border.

It’s called the greatest human-trafficking program in history. Everyone is “welcomed” by the government, being bused, flown…transported to cities across our nation. How many of these children are given over, in broad daylight, into the hands of child and sex traffickers?

They are given thousands of dollars as we sit in our homes, our jobs destroyed, our hard-earned properties being stripped from us. And we are left to foot the bill.

This ordinance from our dictator government is diluting and cheapening the essence of our dignity and stripping us of our identity as a nation. It is happening at light speed. Thousands a day.

Truly, evil is good and good evil.

Isaiah 5:20-21
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

This is not Your way, Where are You?

Our right to bear arms is, with the stroke of a pen, abolished and eliminated. We are left without protection, or the ability to defend ourselves. The very mandate of our government to defend the Constitution and protect us, are the very people who are doing this. Are those who voted them into office happy about it? Is there any “buyer’s remorse” yet?

We know the election was stolen. But the division between factions continues. These people hold onto their lies like a junk-yard bulldog defending the garbage heap, as the steam from the stench rises behind him.

This is not Your way, Where are You?

* * * You met Moses in the Wilderness of Mount Sinai…the wilderness of sin (Leviticus 1:1). Thank You. We are there. Will you meet with us too?

You met Jacob, when he had to face his brother Esau. He was so afraid. You wrestled with him.

Genesis 32:24-26
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.

25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.

26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

Father, I look to You. I will not let go until You bless this nation. I will occupy until You come. I will petition You day and night. If we must come through this, lame, like Jacob, so be it. But hear my cry and come to our aid.

Psalm 35
1 Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.

2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.

3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.

4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.


Psalm 36:7-9
7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

Help Lord. Your servant calls.

Maranatha.

Furnace Prayers: In the darkness..it's time to walk

Dear Father in heaven,
Lord Jesus, who is, who was, and who is to come,
Holy Spirit, who, this day, guides teaches, and comforts,

Praise be to the God of my salvation. Praise be to the everlasting God who knows those who are His own, who hears the cries of the desolate, who desires that all men be saved. Glory and thanksgiving belong to You O God, Creator, Savior, and High Tower.

The times are turbulent. The media withholds Truth. The media promotes its version of truth, which is not truthful. But You are Truth. Thanks be God who provides the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

The clouds of darkness press heavily on this nation as well as y heart. You have placed me here at this time and I want to be a good steward. The clouds of dis-information, the spinning of narrative, the condemnation of those who stand for Truth, the cancelling out of all who oppose falsehoods is crashing down on this nation. The crushing weight comes like a massive boulder. It seems unstoppable; ready to steal our freedom, kill an who oppose, and destroy this nation.

Today, legislation is being enacted to remove our ability to defend ourselves. Truly, this is the last point on the checklist from Alinsky’s eight steps to socialism and control. All seems “at the ready” to move our nation into socialism oppression. Constitutional rights, inalienable rights - those rights and privileges from YOU, are being rescinded at every turn. HELP LORD!

Your Word on light and darkness:

Psalms 139:12 - Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light [are] both alike [to thee].

Luke 1:79 - To give light to them that sit in darkness and [in] the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Father, we don’t like the dark. It is disconcerting, ominous…indeed, it is unsettling. But Your desire is to bring us into the light. We see so many that are in the dark, misled, lied to…Shine Your light - directly into the hearts of Your church, that we may take it to those in the dark. Shield us with the peace that passeth understanding so we can move in confidence.

Jesus, You humbled Yourself and in the midst of Your grief and sadness, knowing You would soon take our shame upon Yourself, You washed the feet of Your disciples. It is a striking picture…demonstrating so clearly how we are to respond in these moments, when it seems that the death of this nation, which bears Your Name: One Nation Under God…is at hand.

Forgive us for not being better stewards of the blessings You have poured out.

Managing the dark.
Your example is clear. You took the Passover meal, knowing You were the Passover Lamb about to be slain and knowing that every disciple would leave You at your most vulnerable hour…what would I have done? What about today? …as the darkness surrounds this nation?

We have watched as so many elected officials have denied truth. They have turned on the very ones who elected them. They have banded together against the nation. So many in our judicial system have done likewise. They have taken an oath of office to defend our Constitution, and they have betrayed their oath.

You went willingly into the dark…it’s so hard to comprehend.

Hebrews 12:2
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

When YOU went willingly into the darkness, You broke the power of sin! YOU commissioned us to do the same…to carry the Good News to those in darkness; to proclaim that darkness has been broken! Hallelujah!

We are commanded:
In the midst of this most difficult hour, You issued a command. A command! Not an option. It’s not up for negotiation. Your words:

John 15:12
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

You desire that all men be saved. That is Your will. And You have told us how to do it…to love one another.

I will walk into the darkness. I will not fall.

Psalm 119:105
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Requests:

• Give us eyes to see opportunities to proclaim the Gospel.
• Give us a determined spirit to oppose violence and the temptation to respond in a mean-spirited manner.
• Grant us patience and faith, that You are at work here, and the battle belongs to You.
• When confronted by a rebellious spirit, fill us, completely, with Your care and love for those individuals…I ask for an anointing for this purpose.
• The right to bear arms is being rescinded. Show us how to respond.
• Lead us so that we are Your delight on this matter.

In the Name of Jesus!

Maranatha

Furnace Prayers: The Final Fact-checker...

Dearest Father, Lord and Savior, and Holy Spirit,

I groan inside and weep. Truth has been redefined to something that can be covered up, buried, even closed up in a shipping container.

Jesus, You are Truth. Thank You. Your, our, enemy Satan is a masterful deceiver.

2 Corinthians 11:14
“And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.”

But Your Word promises us that You will expose him.

Luke 8:17
“For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.”

What about the “Ever Given’s manifest” …that document that lists the cargo, passengers and crew? You know everything that is in every container. You know how it got there. My heart screams that there were children in those containers. You know everyONE that was on the ship.

Please manifest that manifest.
Please make it public…for ALL to see. Please bring this to Your Light. The Light where there is no darkness at all.

1 John 1:5
This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

I realize there are so many that cannot see.

John 11:10
But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

The night is here.
Father, many walk in darkness. Many are being used to create it. Many desire the darkness and protect it. Do I ask You to have mercy on those ones? For those who have chosen to embrace evil, I ask You to bring their deeds into the Light. I ask You, Jesus Christ, …all things are under Your feet!

Ephesians 1:22
“And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,”

Is this Your worst nightmare?
Where is Your church?
Many are sleeping. I slept. I wasn’t paying attention. I didn’t watch. Even though You have admonished us to watch and to occupy, I have not done so. But now I repent.

Luke 21:36
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Luke 19:13
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

Are we refusing to acknowledge the sex-trafficking and child abuse that perverse pedophiles are using to get rich, to indulge themselves on Your children? You see all this…is it Your worst nightmare? Do You weep?

How can I be grateful that some died in transit…because it was easier for them, than what awaited those who live through this heinous ordeal?

There seems to be intervention. Please, O God, bring to light for all to see…even those dim of vision. Give the whole world to see what is going on.

Optics, optics everywhere!

• Children in containers …to be sold.
• Ships change their ID, their flag, and never reveal their cargo…
• Does Wayfair really provide cover for child sex-trafficking?
• The siege of the Capitol building …did that woman really die?
• What about the MAGA-dressed intruders?
• What about the policeman who died in DC from that driver?
• Who is the real President?…who has control?
• Are there actors out there, playing roles?
• Is “the virus” really a threat…or is it the vx?
• Will they take our right to defend ourselves too?
• So many fake, black flags…where, O where, is Truth?

We no longer know what to believe. YOU are our only hope to raise up Truth. You are Truth. You are the only believable, trustworthy, reliable Word. In You I will trust.

Narrow is the gate...

Matthew 7:13-14
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Again, Father, I ask You…where is Your church? What is our role? Are we willing to enter by the narrow gate? So many are silent. So many are afraid to speak. I want to speak out, but I don’t know what to say! Lead us. Raise up people to help us know what to do - to be organized to put this ploy of Your, our enemy down!

You tell us You want all men to be saved. I want to speak Your salvation. Aren’t there people, involved in these actions, that will receive salvation through Jesus Christ? Truly, there must be or You would have taken us out of here by now.

How will we, Your church, stand before You …with this on our personal manifests? …that list of all that we have carried…our cargo; the people we have spoken to, the actions of our lives. O God, have mercy on us and raise us up to fight the enemy, rescue the perishing, and made disciples as You have commanded us to do.

Strengthen us to do so! PLEASE O GOD. I cry out to You. I weep at what is going on. Glorify Yourself. Rise up O God. We are so weak. Open our eyes. I beseech You to stand Your church on its feet, take up its armor and stand! Please, show us the gate. Walk us through.

I don't want to be embarassed when I stand before You.

You are the Final Fact-checker...Help Lord!

Maranatha!

Furnace Prayers: Will I deny Him too?

Father, who sent Your only Son,
Lord Jesus, who obediently gave Your life,
Holy Spirit, who comforts, strengthens, and teaches,

You are the God who cares so deeply that You gave all of Yourself for our sake. …for my sake. We observe this “holy week”…remembering the cost of our sin…that separates us and establishes a barrier to relationship with You.

Not popular anymore. No longer safe.
I read about Peter’s denial of You. When I am with others in the faith, when I am safe in my home, when no one else is around…I too am quite confident that I would never forsake You and at that moment I feel like I would give my life for You. Just like Peter.

BUT,

Will I stand strong?
Especially now: faith in You has become a threat to this society…we, believers in Your grace, are now called traitors, and we are now considered religious extremists. Will I stand strong for You - here in this situation? Will I stand strong before others who believe that all references to You are examples of white supremacy?

When I am out and about, when opportunities arise to speak of Your love and care…will I be silent, or will I speak Truth? Jesus, You are Truth. You knew that Peter would deny You. Did it break Your heart? ...and You know what I will do when the situation presents itself. I cannot and do not trust myself.

It’s easy, when I know I’m safe. But how will I respond when the act of speaking Truth is a threat to those in control? How will I respond when it may risk my freedom, my livelihood, or my life?

You know, O Lord.
Have mercy on me. Strengthen me.

Matthew 10:19
But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.

Fill me with the joy of Your salvation.

Philippians 3:10
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

Is this time for the fellowship of Your sufferings?
Requests:

• Clear out all that cannot serve You.
• Replace my doubts and fears with confidence because YOU are the Author and Finisher of my faith.

  Hebrews 12:2
  Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

• Stir up in me the gifts that You have placed within me to serve You without wavering.
• Grant me a double measure of courage and boldness that I may stand before You without regret.

Thank You that You forgave and restored Peter.

Maranatha!

Furnace Prayers: Brainwashed?

Father God, Lord Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit,

You are perfection, You are pure, without division. You demonstrate perfect agreement, joined together yet separate. You are beyond what I can understand: the purity of Your goodness, the completeness of Your love for us. Your thoughts are never incomplete. Surely, You are beyond me. I sit in silent awe.

Your Word encourages me:

Mark 4:22
For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light.

As I see the world through my incomplete, fragmented, and altogether inadequate view…I see blatant, defiant wickedness that shamelessly promotes itself and conjures others to to join in unabashed wickedness. Surely, this is the work of our enemy Satan…secure in his rebellion and adamant that he can best You.

He has brought many under his wing. They think they are in the light, but they bring and scatter his darkness everywhere they go.

But You are light and in You is no darkness at all. They cannot exist in Your Light. Satan has stolen their minds. His lies have convinced them that they are invincible. Truly, they have been brainwashed.

It amazes me that You keep Your own, under the shadow of Your wing; we can abide there —where we are safe. You walk with us as we move through the valley of the shadow of death.

Psalm 91:1-2, 5-6
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

Psalm 23:4
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Although You hide us, where we cannot be seen, we are still in Your light. You are so amazing.

But what about these others, who have been brainwashed? Are there some that have not given over their souls to Satan? You have brought many out of the bondage of satanic worship. Will You bring more? That is Your heart. It is Your will.

Surely, there are levels of brainwashing. And many seem to be at the beginning stages of this brainwashing. But our enemy Satan has been at this for many, many decades. He hates us. He hates the United States and he wants to bring her down. We are One Nation Under God…regardless of our current divisions and pitiful actions.

Many believe the U.S. is too far gone. There is no hope. We are divided and ready to fall. Jesus is coming for us in the rapture - we better get ready for that.

I BELIEVE, that You will not take us out of here until the last person who would receive You, before the rapture, has done so. You went back for the one in the wilderness (Luke 15:3-7). You admonish us to the same. So we have work to do.

Where are these sheep in the wilderness…who have been brainwashed into thinking anything contrary to Your Word? They are our neighbors, our friends, our family. They are in our neighborhoods, our communities, and this nation.

It is so hard to see all these people being used by our enemy Satan…divisions among ourselves. People bringing brazen, atrocious, and disgraceful actions against anyone who disagrees with them. This nation has been brainwashed.

I BELIEVE TRUTH IS STRONGER than anything that the misguided use as extortion, blackmail, fraudulent demands, and force to oppress, cover and coerce Truth.

Jesus, You are the Way the Truth and the Life. You are my God and You are the God of Life.

Mark 12:27
“He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.”

Lead us O God. Awaken and clear our minds.

2 Timothy 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

May we hear the trumpet call us to action. To speak Truth, to lead the misguided, and to create unity as You, O God, uncover all that is hidden, as Your Word promises.

Hallelujah to the God who uncovers, the God of Light, the God of Life.

Maranatha!

Furnace Prayers: Vaxed or vexed?

Father in Heaven, Lord Jesus, who is the mighty God, and Holy Spirit,

Isaiah 9:6
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace”

You are God. I cannot understand the unity that embraces You. I cannot grasp, even the idea, that You are One, yet separate. I cannot comprehend how Jesus, You are fully God and fully man, or that Your temptations challenged every particle of Your being–more than anything I have to endure.

You are so far above me, that I cannot understand. Truly, You are too wonderful for me and I cannot fully appreciate even the smallest scope of Your love and care for every part of me. Truly, You are too wonderful for my finite mind.
Thank You.

The enemy is hard at work
Yes, stealing, killing, and destroying. He is the father of lies. It is his ever-blinded goal to consummate the evil he has devised for this earth and to take as many souls from You as he can.

Thank You that I cannot comprehend this evil. Thank You that You have enlivened my spirit so that I cannot understand. You have made me a new creature and I hold tightly to Your presence.

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Control is closing in
The push for the vax is pervading the media message, pushing us into the jaws of their control. Their push for the VaxPass: lies and deception that this is how we will be free! …to again go about “life” …Father, this is a hoax. It is a lie. It is a control mechanism to trick us, to deceive us to enter blindly into total control by Your enemy. Help Lord!

Vexed:
The Ruler of darkness has stolen the hearts, minds and souls of his chosen. They have given themselves over to steal our freedom, kill our hope, and destroy our presence on this earth. They seek total control of every aspect of our lives.

The level of deception that is pervading the earth on the Vax is beyond my understanding.It is so questionable. Your enemy has created so much fear that people are willing to do anything they say. Father, the numbers don’t lie. This has been a hoax from the beginning. You have shown it to so many of Your servants, and others as well.

Truth has been covered. Those who believe the truth about this have been “removed.” …or at least “silenced. Yet, it is still available for the diligent to find. Credibility of information is accessible as well. You are still here to guide us in our work. Ugh...we have no excuse.”

The level of deception that is pervading the earth on the VaxPass is beyond my understanding as well. Truly, this is the immediate pathway to social credit scores. It is the total control that has been implemented in China.

But I will meditate on Your Word:

John 8:36
“If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”

Deuteronomy 31:6
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he [it is] that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.

Psalm 37:7-9
Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Thank You!
