Never has there been a time to pray as there is now. Wars rumors of wars, weather changes, relationships that need to be mended, families that need to know God, and all of us as Christians to be doing our part reconciling differences and be a model to the world, not a judge.
It’s very easy to judge one another, but let's turn that around and tell people what a blessing they are to us. It all comes down to praying for each other, and what needs changing in each other is God’s job to show them not ours.
A person who was dear to our family said to us, “Remember we catch them and God cleans them.” (relating to leading a person to salvation and then giving them over to Jesus to take care of the sins in their life).
By no means do I want to be a judge, because you will be judged the same as you have judged.
Matthew 7:1-5 (NKJV)
“Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look a plank is in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First, remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
Right now our main prayer is for people to know God’s love and show them through our actions. What would it hurt for us to say to people God wants you to let Him love you. Instead of telling them about their sins.
God is not a mean God and wants the best for every one of His children. He has prepared an awesome place for us in Heaven and beyond. He has given us every tool and gift we need to live our lives.
He sent His only begotten Son to be our atonement (stand in the gap) so God could look upon us because He cannot look at sin. Then when Jesus was resurrected He sent us the Holy Spirit our comforter, who gives us power to minister.
So now He has given us salvation through Jesus Christ, and power to minister by the Holy Spirit, and His wonderful love to guide us. Don’t you think that it is time for us to do the work that God wants us to do?
Where do we start to do His work, on our knees praying for guidance, for our families, for the World, our country, and anything else God wants us to pray for. He will lead you and He will show you how to pray.
Then when you are out and about doing your everyday things, remember to show God’s love. Help someone with their groceries, say a kind word to someone who looks like they are having a rough day. You want to know what will fulfill your life, being kind to one another and leading people to Jesus.
Matthew 28:18-20 (NKJV)
18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
