I would rather God call me out secretly when my heart is not right, or when I am wrong, or when I am in sin. So that I can repent, ask for forgiveness, walk in forgiveness, and pray for the desire, strength, and wisdom not to fall back into that same sin or wrong behavior. I would rather God call me out secretly than to be rebuked and disciplined openly by God because I would not listen to God speak to my heart to get it right. But as long as God calls me out so that I don't die in my sin, I know that everything is going to be alright.
God calls us out because He loves us and He wants the best for us. He calls us out for our protection, our wellbeing, and our family’s protection and wellbeing. He calls us out so that we can receive all the blessings that He has for us. Obedience brings an abundance of God’s favor and blessings. But the way of the transgressor is hard (Proverbs 13:15). Pray that God calls us out.
When God calls out the Leaders of this Nation when they are wrong (Democrats, Independents, and Republicans), it is for their protection and to protect our Nation. When God calls out the Leaders of the church it is to protect that leader, God's church, God's name, and God's reputation. Read the story of David when God sent the Prophet Nathan to call David out (2 Samuel, chapters 11 and 12). Because of David's sin, many lives were lost and destroyed (even five of David's children). And that could have all been avoided if David had only let God deal with his heart.
We All Need This Prayer: God I ask You in Jesus’ name just as You called out King David, a man after Your own heart, call out all the Christian Leaders in Politics and the Church (including the writer of this prayer and myself) every time we lie, every time we try to cover up our sins and wrongdoings. Call us out Lord Jesus. God call us out when we have a bad attitude, walk-in deception, usury, anger, or dictatorship. Call us out when we disrespect others and use foul language. God call us out and deal with all our ungodly ways. God work on us; deal with our hearts according to Your Word. Wash us thoroughly from all immorality and cleanse us from all our sins. Create in each of us a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within us. God bless us to turn to You, repent for our sins, ask for forgiveness, and deliverance. Deliver us God from everything in our lives that is not of You. May we each cry out to You for wisdom, strength, and the desire to live our lives pleasing unto You for Your glory, our protection, and wellbeing. God all that I have asked of You in this prayer, please do the same for every Christian that I know and every member of the church that I attend. God Thank You. Thank You Lord Jesus. Amen!Encourager Linda Flagg, M.A., BCPCLC Board Certified Professional Christian Life Coach

This is why i posted my friends revelation a few weeks ago, only 1 country I see who is trying to make an effort with prayer in the government house.. my belief is that if they all humble themselves before our heavenly Father, this virus will be done away.. this is also preperation for us
Pastor Rays revelation
In my prayer time & devotion time. I ask this
What on earth is happening Lord?
This Covid-19 pandemic is creating havoc worldwide.
Im taken back to The 1st & 2nd Commandment in Exodus 20:3-5
““You shall have no other gods before Me. “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,”
Vs 7.
“You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.”
Exodus 20:3-5, 7 NKJV
Its a heads up to the World. If you look closely at Current events. The LORD is bringing these idols down!
The god of me myself & I,
The monetary system god, god of economies,god of Sport, god of Entertainment, god of self-gratification, god of materialism, governmental systems god, religious gods, even gods created within our own Christian church?!note even Christian gatherings worldwide halted, which means missions on hold...etc.
“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”
Psalms 46:10
It’s a reminder to us that the creator of marriage , the creator of family, holds HIS creation(Humanity) in high regard.
The evidence is before us, Sports events cancelled world wide, music concerts cancelled worldwide, movies & entertainment cancelled, world economies on the brink of collapse, job losses, monetary systems stretched, travel world wide is halted and what is left for us to do?
We are called as Communities & families to pull together, governments have had to lay down their agendas..
Is this is a reminder & warning that time is near.? “For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.”
I Thessalonians 5:2 NKJV
Let us make things right with the LORD first ,with one another....Forgive, forget & find everything we need in JESUS.
It’s all clear in HIS good news. The Holy Bible.
We say & sing ‘I Love You Lord’ and yet we are still self-righteous & judgemental, thinking we know it all (even Pastors) we say we forgive but still show the evidence that ,that is not so? we claim humility & respect but still hold on to pride, we pursue self always...in material things, in ministry in worship even in ministry etc...etc.
I ask myself where are these Godly self proclaiming tongues speaking apostles prophets and healers of today, with power...shouldn't they get into action and operate in their so-called gifting from God, where are they when we need them. Or are they in self isolation?
Maybe we need to Get back to the basics..the Truth of Gods Word.
We cannot continue to proclaim the power of the Holy Spirit and claim this and that , when it is not so. HE the Holy Spirit is All Powerful at all times and it would be evident...in a massive way!!!
Conclusion is this?
“if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
II Chronicles 7:14 NKJV
