How are you all today, us speckled and spotted sheep?
I'm a bit sad and don't even know why today, nothing really makes sense to pin it on. I'm wondering how my bros and sis in Christ are.
The bible tells us that God says, comfort my people says the Lord.
Lord please defend Israel today, please draw them to Yourself today. Please cause the body of Christ to be comforted also today and hear our prayers.
Lord, cause us to hear You

Regina, I know what you mean. Also feeling a little down and disconcerted today. The whole situation in Syria is enough to weigh on a person. All of those poor people trapped in that place between two sets of madmen determined to take over no matter who suffers. The children are especially on my mind. The song by Karen Carpenter keeps coming to me - "Bless the Beasts and The Children". Helpless and without a choice, the children and the animals suffer from the actions of evil people who are slaves to the devil.



Aside from that, we are all weary of waiting for deliverance, rescue, change in our location from here to the heavenly. Come soon Lord Jesus!

Bless The Beasts And The Children lyrics

Bless the beasts and the children
For in this world they have no voice
They have no choice

Bless the beasts and the children
For the world can never be
The world they see

Light their way
When the darkness surrounds them
Give them love
Let it shine all around them

Bless the beasts and the children
Give them shelter from the storm
Keep them safe
Keep them warm

Light their way
When the darkness surrounds them
Give them love
Let it shine all around them

Bless the beasts and the children
Give them shelter from the storm
Keep them safe
Keep them warm

The children
The children
The children

I love that song. Yes people are caught, especially children and animals, the handicapped in various ways, the poor. No where to go, no way to get out. The only hope for them is the protecting hand of God.
Please Father God, these people need You more than ever. Please bring Jesus to their hearts and minds. Please cause the children to be all Yours and save the people of Syria and Egypt. Your word says that one day they will live in peace with one another and with Israel. Bring Your word to pass now.
come back Lord Jesus

Regina & Texas Sue,

I too feel sadness, especially, for all the innocent people and children, whom are suffering from the hands of evil doers. I can pictures tears rolling down the Lord's face, when he sees the death and carnage left lying in the streets, and little orphans left behind crying over the bodies of their parents.

Oh Lord come back and stop this madness Jesus, your heart is breaking along with our hearts. How long oh Lord before you avenge those whom bring death and harm, to these little ones, whom you have called unto yourself. God I know you long that none should perish that all should be saved, surely Lord,
the time must be close and the Lord our God foreknows whom will be the last one to be saved before Jesus comes to take us home. Father in Heaven, have mercy on those whom through no fault of their own, suffer greatly this very day, for your Son suffered physical pain in a human body, therefore, Jesus is emphatic with our human suffering. Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy on all your Children whom are crying out to you this very day. Open heaven's door, and let your healing power, flow down from Heaven upon each one, this very day, and may the Holy Spirit comfort them and wipe away their tears, until Jesus comes to receive His Bride, your precious children, unto Himself.

Come Lord Jesus Come, the Bride and the Spirit cry come! Amen!

Maranatha!

Valerie

Amen!

One Millionth Child Refugee Flees Syria

I too have really seen how lucky we are to live here and I feel awful for everyone living in the Middle East who are Christians. This has been going around Facebook but I haven't did research to find out what source it came from but regardless, Jesus is weeping for these innocent ones and will take care of them whether it be now or at Judgement.



"A Muslim man in Egypt killed his wife because she was reading the Bible and then buried her with their infant baby and an 8-year old daughter. The girls were buried alive! He then reported to the police that an uncle killed the kids. 15 days later, another family member died.

When they went to bury him, they found the 2 little girls under the sand -ALIVE!

The country is outraged over the incident, and the man will be executed.. The older girl was asked how she had survived and she says: 'A man wearing shiny white clothes, with bleeding wounds in his hands, came every day to feed us. He woke up my mom so she could nurse my sister,' she said.

She was interviewed on Egyptian national TV, by availed Muslim woman news anchor. She said on public TV, 'This was none other than Jesus, because nobody else does things like this!' Muslims believe Isa (Jesus) would do this, but the wounds mean He really was crucified, and it's clear also that He is alive! But, it's also clear that the child could not make up a story like this, and there is no way these children could have survived without a true miracle."

Regina, for some reason today I have been battling a vague feeling of something about to happen and a sadness that is without a cause. It has nothing to do with what is happening to me right now and have decided to deal with it as an attack from the enemy to steal our joy of the upcoming rapture. Don't know if anyone else is having this experience or not. I do know that the Holy Spirit is joy, peace and love. Rebuking the darkness now and demanding in Jesus name that it flees from us. Requesting that Holy Spirit shed the love of God in abroad in our hearts as promised in Romans 5. God bless you all and hope to see you very soon in the air.

Sue, I'm glad that you posted.
I also hope we are together with the Lord very soon.
I'm fighting sadness today.
Like waiting for WWIII to start, or waiting for something to happen in the US.

It's a helpless feeling when I consider what is going on in the world, even decisions where I live (such as people celebrating paganism). My heart gets so sickened by events and I know it will be a LOT worse before the second coming.
Yet I know the trib is absolutely necessary in God's plan. If He just parted the skies and called time on us all right now, then all those people who would have been saved during the tribulation years wouldn't be. Unfortunately, what lies ahead is there because God deems it necessary to be allowed and warns the world about it all through the Bible. Oh I would that people would just accept the Lord without the harshness of what is to come. I would that all people would come to the saving knowledge of Jesus as their Savior and Lord.

I want everything made right again. The kingdoms of this world to be the kingdoms of my God and of His Christ. No more evil. No more harm to children.
Our loved ones saved....

Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come and Your will be done on the earth as it is in heaven. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
We pray for You to be glorified throughout the entire world. Lord, would You please cause us to be full of Your Spirit of life. Please comfort us, please cause our anxiety and sadness of the times we are in, of our situations to melt away, to disappear as we are enveloped close to You. Please cause us to have renewed hearts, minds, speech, actions that bless You and witness You to the lost. We love you Jesus. Come quickly.

Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
