Greetings to you on day 9 of my prayer and fast, almost a third of the way through on PW33's 30 days of seeking the Lord for His justice over the worldwide church.
Today, I found much wisdom and encouragement through the posts and writings of Mark Biteler, as can be found at his Joshua Revival Project website. Please take a moment to follow the link at the bottom of this page. Thank you.
James 4:17 "If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for them".
My prayer is that a good response to reading this passage, is to appeal to our conscience to do what is right. When I think of many of our leaders, both in church and politics, I ask myself, "Do they even have a conscience? "
I may doubt, but I have to raise myself above that thought, and have an attitude of hope and belief through prayer that if they are in a place away from God, they will reconsider their actions and do what is right.
2 Corinthians 3:17 (NIV) Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
Having browsed through a few more videos on YouTube I have seen one which is proclaiming that today will be the day of rapture. Well, I am still sitting here, and nothing has happened as yet. Don't get me wrong, I am not poking fun at one more prediction that missed its mark. The author of the video looked very young and so sincere and believing, feeling no doubt, a deep sense to share in what he believes as a word from God, with a duty to warn others who may be unaware.
With the 4th of July just around the corner there's bound to be a few more videos to be posted up soon that will, in a similar way, proclaim July the 4th as the day of rapture. I would like to make it clear that the Lord has never spoken to me about any exact date for rapture and I am happy for it to be kept that way, what he has spoken to me about however, concerns dates which are like railway station stops as we go out on our heaven-bound ride to Glory. The prophecy I have shared with you in these last few days is exactly that, recognising the times when God is calling His people to be more prepared and with a yearning to see His church be spiritually healthy, cleansed and washed in the blood of Jesus, and expectant of His return.
Praise the Lord!
Thanks for following me on my 30 Day prayer and fast. Today I would like to leave you with a link to a Troy Black Video that is right in line with the vision I have for 4th of July. I have only had time to listen to the first half hour of Troy's message, I will have to make time to listen to the rest as it very thorough, honest and I believe totally led by the Lord.
My sincere thanks to all those following my daily prayer updates for the 4th of July. Today is Day 5, I will within the next few days post videos here from other ministries and individuals who have their own message to share regarding Independence Day. Their viewpoint, direction of thought, spiritual wisdom and inspiration can help add to what I have already shared. It is always good to balance these important issues by listening to others who voice their own concerns with equal passion and desire to hear from the Lord.
Today, I uploaded a video to YouTube that simply informs everyone that there will be no more video updates until Monday the 15th of June. This is due to a busy week I have ahead, with more commitments than usual!
I will nonetheless continue to pray and fast, so no changes there, and I hope to make daily blogs here with some thoughts, scriptures etc. focused on this latest prayer drive. Thank you
Here's today's update for PW33's 30 day prayer and fasting. This gives an example of a church that had a leadership issue and how the church prayed and saw a divine restoration take place.
Today's update is a re-look at the first part of a post you will find here, posted on July 4th last year. It is a good background as to how this month's prayer initiative came about.
I intend to do a daily update for the 30 days I have committed to in praying for the 4th of July, and look forward to hearing from those who are interested in contributing with any comments they might like to share.
Just two days ago, I heard the Lord say that I was to announce a call for prayer and fasting. This will be for 30 days, up to the eve of the 4th of July, when the Lord will act out His judgment over the world church, exposing church leaders who are corrupt in all their ways. The Lord has given them a year of grace to change, to seek Christ and repent. We have the opportunity to pray for those who still continue in their sinful ways but the Lord's Judgement will come. For many, the 4th of July is a symbol of freedom, and it is freedom that the Lord wants for his church.
I am used to fasting but the longest I have personally committed to is no longer than 10 days. This is three times longer than what I have done before, so personally, for me, this will be a good discipline and test of faith. PLEASE, you are not expected to do the same. In the video, I suggest that if you were to set just one day aside, 1 day in 30, then that would be fine. If we can find enough people to join, then everybody choosing a day(s) to their own convenience will I am sure, cover the 30 days to the 4th of July.
Thank you for any prayer and fasting you feel led to be part of. God Bless
