WORKS of Flesh - Dead WORKS - WORKS of Faith. - Three choices in how to pray - Consider reading following verse this way... If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, seeking my face (which is turning from their wicked ways) then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

2 Chronicles 7:14 ~ Works that Work ~ The next time you feel led to pray, try reporting for instruction. Then, watch God begin to heal hearts and lives of people.

The Kingdom of God does not come to all at same time, Luke 17:20. So, yes, you are experiencing conflict and dissention (whether verbalized or not) with family, friends, church members, etc. ~ as you are not all arriving at same place, spiritually, at same time, Matthew 10: 36. However, sooner you enter Kingdom of God, sooner your tribulation will be over. ____________

And there shall be signs in sun, and in moon, and in stars; and upon earth distress of nations, with perplexity; sea and waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on earth: for powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

And he spake to them a parable; Behold fig tree, and all trees; When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away, Luke 21:25-33.

I have heard said (and you can decide whether you believe it or not) that we knew, before we came to earth, our coming would be for end times; that we were hand picked for such a time as this and agreed to come (knowing, in advance, that it would be incredibly hard), and that we are a very courageous people.

Sure, most of people I know are currently experiencing what feels like sand of sea ... and even Jesus was spiritually stomped on when accused of befriending publicans and sinners. Yet, He, too, knew where wisdom lay.

God wants you to know that He does not see you as weak and sickly, at all. You were created in His image and He is not sick. Additionally, you are His chosen. No matter how many horrors have come your way, you never gave up on God and that makes Him very proud! That's what true love is. Only, now is time to take up your cross and walk; redeeming time, Ephesians 5:16-17.

There is only one entry to Kingdom of God. You have to start all over, in your knowledge, as a little child, Mark 10:15.

Once you finally realize and come to terms with fact that man does not know answers, 1 Corinthians 2:11, it is no longer so hard to run to One who knows how to defeat Satan every time. Throw out those survival instincts. They don't work in spiritual warfare. Throw out everything you thought you knew and let God teach you all over again, John 6:45. One more time, for such a time as this, Ye must be born again, John 3:3, 5.

Abraham believed God and God counted that as righteousness and friendship, James 2:23, and, with friendship, you are no longer left standing in dark, John 15:15.

Scripture always works once God has revealed to you His intent for words given. God will answer, once you ask right question with right motive (James 4:3), and He promises, if you ask first, Matthew 7:9-11, that He will not allow Satan to trick you, I John 2:27.

Don't do anything until you have received instruction from God. Then, do it without fear, as Satan cannot touch you as long as God's anointing is on your every step ~ because, Satan cannot defeat God. Therein is your confidence.

Then, as you experience Kingdom of God, begin sharing it with others. The purpose of our creation, for such a time as this, is to have honor of leading procession in bringing God's children home. So, here is your chance. Change your scars from sand to stars.

They that be wise shall shine as brightness of firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as stars for ever and ever. Daniel 12:3

For law made nothing perfect, but bringing in of a better hope did; by which we draw nigh unto God. Hebrews 7:19
