My servant Paul said that the preaching of the cross is to those who perish foolishness; but to those who are saved, it is the power of God.
You live in a culture today where there are many who have hardened hearts that cannot receive the truths about Me and my saving power because of their unbelief.
The root of all sin is unbelief. Pray for My Holy Spirit to soften the hearts of many today so that their hearts will be ready to receive My truths.
1 CORINTHIANS 1:18;
When we think back over the years of our lives, there usually are times when we are overwhelmed with grief. Isaiah prophesied that I was a man of sorrows and that I was acquainted with grief.
I knew times of grief like in the garden when I asked My Father to remove the cup of suffering that I would face when I gave Myself as the perfect sacrifice so that I could then bear the sins of the world.
Isaiah also said, "Surely He has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows." I experienced every grief, every sorrow, and every pain people experience. This is why I want you to come to Me during your seasons of grief. I will be able to give you My peace and My joy to strengthen you during your grief.
ISAIAH 53:3-4
Remember when you were in summer Bible School, and you and all the children sang, "Stand up, Stand up for Jesus, you soldiers of the cross. Lift high the royal banner, you must not suffer loss.
That song causes both you and Me to grieve over the loss of a generation that has not been taught to fear Me and who do not know My Word.
So many even Christian children who had godly families that taught My word have fallen away. Seducing spirits have had success in drawing this generation away from their faith. Pray for this generation.
CORINTHIANS 2:5
Most all of us love to have someone come and visit us. We spend our time preparing for the visit. We clean our homes and even try to clear closets to get ready for our visitor to hang up their clothes.
We think about what we can serve our visitors for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We even think about the places our guests might like to visit.
There is one visit, however, that I do not want you ever to miss. That visit is when I come to you and desire to spend time with you. Yes, I look forward to our times together in the morning when we have fellowship one with the other. The only preparation for that visit is that you focus on Me, Your Savior.
HEBREWS 2:6
Tonight Jewish families all over the world will be seated at their tables to celebrate the first feast on the Jewish lunar calendar. They will enjoy remembering the great exodus of their people from Egypt.
Pray for them this evening as they celebrate Passover. Pray also for the peace of Jerusalem as many will be on high alert in Israel because of the war there.
Pray for many of My Jewish brothers and sisters to be saved even during this wartime. Pray that they will call out to Me for help. Pray for the laborers who are reaching out to Jewish people during this harvest time.
ROMANS 1:16
The psalmist wrote: "From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same the LORD's name is to be praised. Jewish days begin at sundown and end at sundown.
I desire your praise all the day long, but there is something special about praising Me at the end of the day. As the shadows of dusk begin to form, you can begin to think of all the ways that I blessed you in the day.
When the sun first rises and the sun begins to go down, the birds sing the loudest. They are praising Me. Join the symphony of their praise tomorrow and every day. I will join with you, and together we can sing praises to My Father.
PSALM 113:3
During these days of uncertainty, you and all My beloved need to put their confidence in Me and not in the news or what might happen tomorrow.
Have confidence in My ability to see you through whatever you may face in the future. Grace is the supernatural ability to do what is impossible in the natural.
My grace is more than sufficient to help you get through whatever circumstance you may face in the future.
HEBREWS 3:14
