PRAYER, SUNDAY OCTOBER 16, 2011, AND UPDATE WITH LOVE IN ACTION FOR SINGLE MOTHERS

Greetings -

Scriptures are from the King James Bible.

PRAYER TO OUR FATHER:

Glorious Father GOD, thank You that You own the air.  Often we breathe it without thoughts of You.  Every beat of our hearts comes from You but so frequently we take our heartbeats for granted.

Father forgive us for not being steadfastly grateful and appreciative for what we receive from You.  We all need to change to become better Christians who truly do abide in You, as evidenced by our love, loyalty, and dedication to all that meets Your holy expectations.  You expect no less than our utter obedience.  Help us, please, to be doers of Your Word and not hearers only deceiving our own selves - James 1:22.

Let us blaze in Your glory and be so close to You that we become and remain pure agents of love, atmosphere changers, representatives of righteousness, integrity, and full gospel doers of Your Holy Bible - for Your holy name's sake.  

We need to aim for our righteous joy to be infectious, our godly peace to be contagious, and our Hallelujah enthusiasm to have generous impact.

Many people are selfish and consume upon their own lusts - James 4:3.  You instruct us to care and to share.

1 John 3:17, 18 
But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

Your Word in Galatians 6:2 commands, "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ."  And Philippians 2:4 states, "Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others."  And Romans 15:3, "...for even Christ pleased not himself;..."  

We need to dwell in You, in earnest, as kingdom of GOD representatives, above reproach and steadfastly pressing toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of GOD in CHRIST JESUS - Philippians 3:14.  May we consistently draw nigh to You so that You can draw nigh to us.  Otherwise we are spiritually unprofitable and represent death, so says Your Holy Word. 

Romans 8:5, 6, 8
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

Thank You so much, Lord, for WHO You are and for Your daily benefits.

Glory to GOD.

END OF EXCERPTS

Our Lord so stirred my soul to remind that there are some folks that know how to DO LOVE, which certainly surpasses talking about love without evidence of manifestations. 

THANK YOU, LORD!

QUOTES:

- Recently I heard this quote, "If Satan is not shooting at me, why am I not worth a bullet?"

- And this one from Pastor John MacArthur relative to his solid stand for CHRIST:

"I'm sure if I were to leave the ministry and try to get a job any place, and tell them what I really believe, I would be unemployed permanently because I would pose such a threat I would have to work for a Christian company, and I'd probably drive them nuts trying to straighten out their theology."
