When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when a wicked man rules, the people groan. (Proverbs 29:2)

God is teaching us this truth through what we are experiencing in our nation and in the World!

Be of good cheer, Jesus has overcome this world and we are safe in His care. He is sovereign! Nothing can happen without His allowing it. He will not leave us nor forsake us. During this time, I want Him to make me useful and show me how to encourage others. What does He want to accomplish through you?

Blessings,
Karen

For we walk by faith, not by sight! (2Cor. 5:7)

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths. (Prov. 3:5-6)

He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells with Him. I thank You and praise You, O God of my fathers; You have given us wisdom and might, and have now made known to me what I asked of You....(Dan. 2:22-23)

Father, You are Light; shed Your light in every corner of this world and expose the darkness. Bring the hidden things to light and bring forth Your righteousness as the light and Your justice as the noon day. I thank you and praise you as I wait with great expectation for You to bring the victory! Strengthen weary hearts and continue to gird us with strength for the battle. I choose not to depend on the way I perceive things to be, but rather to trust You as You work all things together for our good and Your glory!

God did not wake up surprised about all that is going on in this world! He is fully aware and in full control! As a matter of fact, He gave us a heads up many, many years ago. It's written in His Word.

2Timothy 3:1-5 "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness, but denying its power. And from such people turn away!"

This verse adequately describes what we are seeing broadcast on the news! God did not leave us defenseless, He gave us weapons for our warfare that are mighty in God for pulling down strongholds. (2Corinthians 10:4) Our weapons are the Word of God and prayer! In our recent travels, I saw, "God answers knee mail!" written on a church marquis. It was a great reminder that I am most powerful when I am on my knees! I can't think of a time when Christians needed to be on their knees asking for God's intervention more than now! He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we could ask or think! Let's commit ourselves to prayer for our President, nation, and world!

Blessings,

There is an age old war raging in our personal lives, our homes, our communities, our states, and our world! It is a war between good and evil. As believers in Jesus Christ, and soldiers in the Lord's army, we know with certainty that GOD HAS THE FINAL VICTORY! God wins; however, there are many battles to be fought prior to the ultimate victory. We have been supplied with everything needed to win these battles! No self-respecting soldier would go into battle without the proper attire and equipment to achieve success. Ephesians 6:10-18 is where we find our resources for battle:

Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might - know the source of your strength
Put on the WHOLE armor of God - be completely dressed for battle so we can stand against the schemes of the devil
Understand that our warfare is NOT against flesh and blood (people) it is spiritual warfare
STAND!
Gird your loins with TRUTH
Put on the breastplate of righteousness
Shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace
Take up the shield of faith - enables us to extinguish the fiery darts of the enemy
Take the helmet of salvation - guard your mind in Christ Jesus
Take up the sword of the Spirit - THE WORD OF GOD!
Pray always in the Spirit - pray for all believers

Remember who you are and WHOSE you are!

For HIS glory,
Karen

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and love, and a clear thinking mind! (2Tim. 1:7)

waymaker/miracle worker/promise keeper/light in the darkness/ that is who YOU are! My God - that is who YOU are!!

God is up to something BIG!
He will prevail!
ALL will be well!!

Pray without ceasing...

Serve others - bring the gospel with you everywhere you go!

Blessings,
Karen
