Beloved
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ. Praise God! It’s time to start praying! I need help finding the right words to use when I’m dealing with friends and family who find it impossible to believe the Word of God. They choose to deny the truth and instead latch on to each and every conspiracy theory the passes them by. They choose to hold fast to the traditions and beliefs of Wicca, believe and practice Astrology and Numerology, and regularly consult Psychics and Tarot cards. They regard our Heavenly Father’s Words as foolish, yet anxiously accept and “thrive†on the so-called words of wisdom of long dead philosophers, relatives, and friends through Mediums and Soothsayers, or anyone claiming to have the “gift†of Clairvoyance. These folks long for the approval and guidance of mythical deities, plus faeries, elves, gnomes, and extra-terrestrials. Yet they believe any Biblical reference to Angels, Demons, The Holy Spirit, Jesus, or God can be compared to nothing more than ancient faerie tales. They look forward to the day the great and distant Galactic Federation visits our world and with the snap of a finger all of the ills facing mankind will be instantly and permanently solved. Pray also for my community. I’ve watched a lot of changes here over the past 20 years. We have a deadly serious drug problem (heroin, meth, bath salts, prescription pills etc.). It’s drawing our kids into a life of crime and degradation. Instead of college many of our youth are spending time in a facility referred to as the Grey Bar Hotel. Some aren’t so lucky. They just end up taking a long nap (six-feet under or in the urn on the fireplace mantle, or ashes scattered at sea). The lucky ones end up unemployable with their only concern being how they can come up with the money for their next bag of weed. Instead of recognizing the issues, instead of finding a solution to the issues our civic leaders simply deny the existence of a problem and parents live in denial believing their kids will grow out of the experimental age and walk away from the drugs. It’s very sad. Continue praying for David, his brother Gregory, and his immediate family, his acquaintances, his employees, and all of his gambling and “off the book†friends who not only believe they are above the law, but feel they have the right and the duty to ridicule and insult those of us who don’t see eye to eye with them and they way they perform a laundry list of questionable business practices and outright illegal activities. These same folks have no problem making veiled threats toward those who “disagree†with them while smiling and shaking hands and making others believe they’re just a bunch of good old boys out having a little fun. These are evil people corrupting everything they touch. They will destroy a reputation by spreading vicious lies and damaging rumors. Please ask God to cause these folks to repent and fix the damage they have intentionally done. Please ask our Heavenly Father to shut them down before someone gets hurt. Pray for our elected officials at all levels of government (federal, state, county, local; and the overseas or foreign equivalents too). Ask God to help them to make the right decisions to benefit mankind. Pray also for those who serve and protect us, also at the local, county, state, and federal levels, plus the foreign or overseas counterparts, including police officers, sheriff’s deputies, constables, marshals, sheriffs, border and customs officers, forest and park rangers, security officer, corrections officers, and parking and traffic control officers; pray also for those working as firefighters, EMTs, EMS, Paramedics, Search and Rescue, and Volunteers. Please pray for those in uniform, the ones who serve and protect us. I’m talking about the members of our armed forces like the Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Merchant Marines, Army, Reservists, and National Guard; and all of the Retirees, Veterans, and their family members; plus any and all of their overseas or foreign counterparts. Pray for Farhan, his family, and his congregation up in prayer. These folks are living, worshiping, and working in a war-torn, predominantly Muslim part of the world. They face daily persecution and need our prayers. Please pray for Liz who is experiencing some financial hardship. She is also trying to raise two autistic kids. Please pray for the close friends, co-workers, and families of these folks who have passed away: Lyle, Ellen, David, Keaton, Michael, Willie, Gertrude, Ivan, Jack, Wendy, Gary, Lisamarie, Robert, Paul, Corey, Edward, Misao, Cynthia, Dov, Leslie, Gary, Jeremy, Rudolf, Carlos, Otto, Mary Kate, EJ, Jesus, Richard, Mark, David, Richard, Dorothea, Tom, Gordon, Marlyn, Terry, Heather, Francis, Alfred, Danny, Betty, Alicia, Brandon, Jillian, Cathy, Anna, Dallas, Finbar, Virginia, Betty, Arthur, Henry, Michele, Mary Kate, Melba, Alberto, Charles, Samantha, Marciela, Jaiden, Timmy, Julius, Annie, Kim, Patricia, Cathryn, Jill, Greg, Barry, Jane, Gary, Alice, Aussy, Greg, Marion, Shannon, Annie, Ben, Jennifer, Jarrae, Martha, Kianna, Vipul, Alex, Matthew, Brandon, Jennifer, Alejandro, Joel, Albin, Helen, Bruce, George, Benjamin, David, Joyce, Bill, Tom, Joseph, Ruth, Marilyn, Jack, Brittany, Lahoma, Andrea, Lexandra, Lexi, Simon, Ronald, John, Ernesto, Charles, Gia, Audrey, Brett, Jaylen, Adam, Mike, Dane, Al, Andrew, Michael, Lester, Mike, Chris, Ryan, Eddie, Sam, Freedom, Ted, Rob, Jane, John, Erika, Carol, RC and Jennifer. Please continue praying for the folks living in Ukraine. I ask all of this in Jesus Name. Amen.
