A PRAYER FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

My prayer every day, numerous times a day, especially when my ego wants to judge, criticize, condemn--all of which God calls SIN--is basically this, though the wording may vary but the request is consistent:

Abba Father, please continue to open our eyes more and more so we see YOUR truth with clarity.

Continue to open our ears so we hear YOUR voice above all voices and noises of the world.

Lord, continue to open our hearts so we receive YOUR Word, Your Torah, Your Truth.

Help us to live and walk Your Torah, as You instructed us to do.

I ask this, Father, through the authority in the name of Messiah Yeshua, as written in Luke 10:19.

Amein.

SURVIVE AT ALL COSTS?

CHANGE THE WORD "ATOMIC" TO "COVID" IN THIS C. S. LEWIS WRITING BELOW, AND YOU SEE THIS MESSAGE APPLIES IN EVERY AGE . . . BECAUSE IT IS FOUNDED UPON TRUTH.

On Living in an Atomic Age
.
by C. S. Lewis

In one way we think a great deal too much of the atomic bomb. ‘How are we to live in an atomic age?’ I am tempted to reply: ‘Why, as you would have lived in the sixteenth century when the plague visited London almost every year, or as you would have lived in a Viking age when raiders from Scandinavia might land and cut your throat at night; or indeed, as you are already living in an age of cancer, an age of syphilis, an age of paralysis, an age of air raids, an age of railway accidents, an age of motor accidents.

In other words, do not let us begin by exaggerating the novelty of our situation. Believe me, dear sir or madam, you and all whom you love were already sentenced to death before the atomic bomb was invented… It is perfectly ridiculous to go about whimpering and drawing long faces because the scientists have added one more chance of painful and premature death to a world which already bristled with such chances and in which death itself was not a chance at all, but a certainty.

If we are all going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things—praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts—not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs. They may break our bodies (a microbe can do that) but they need not dominate our minds...

What the atomic bomb has really done is to remind us forcibly of the sort of world we are living in and which, during the prosperous period before, we were beginning to forget. And this reminder is, so far as it goes, a good thing. We have been waked from a pretty dream, and now we can begin to talk about realities...

It is our business to live by our own law not by fears: to follow, in private or in public life, the law of love and temperance even when they seem to be suicidal, and not the law of competition and grab, even when they seem to be necessary to our own survival. For it is part of our spiritual law never to put survival first: not even the survival of our species. We must resolutely train ourselves to feel that the survival of Man on this Earth, much more of our own nation or culture or class, is not worth having unless it can be had by honorable and merciful means.

Nothing is more likely to destroy a species or a nation than a determination to survive at all costs. Those who care for something else more than civilization are the only people by whom civilization is at all likely to be preserved. Those who want Heaven most have served Earth best. Those who love man less than God do most for man....

Let the bomb find you doing well.

What if this is the hour God has been waiting for?

When humanity is at the end of itself.

When human systems can simply "take no more."

When what is facing humans is insurmountable.

When every corner of our communities are desperate for hope.

So, let's take a stand - will you join us?

We say WELCOME to the SUPERNATURAL DISPLAYS OF GOD'S GLORY!

We say, Father, step in and take over

- our businesses

- our families

- our children's education

- our community needs

- our legislative committee hearings

- our relationships

- our board meetings

- our media airwaves

- our family's needs

- our desperation for community

- our burden for this nation

- our hurting industries

- our lonely seniors

- our teenagers and college students in despair

- our lawyers and Judicial systems

- our hospitals and rescue services

- our food industries

- our manufacturers

- our churches

- our neighborhoods

- the prisons

- the classrooms ...

Lord, in EVERYTHING and EVERY CORNER of this nation, we say have YOUR WAY now!!!!

Let there be SIGNS AND WONDERS on every

- street corner

- every Zoom call

- in text messages

- in grocery stores

- in business offices

- in courtrooms

- in Legislative chambers

- in living rooms

- in front yards

- at gas stations

- everywhere!

From this moment forward, may there be a RUSH of DIVINE INTERVENTION, SUPERNATURAL signs and wonders, and and rush of the solutions and help of a Mighty God!

We declare that there will be testimony upon testimony coming forward of men and women, boys and girls who say "in this moment I saw God. In this moment, I surrendered. In this moment, Jesus stepped in and made all the difference."

THANK YOU GOD for these moments when we can experience our limited-ness as humans and when YOU get to step in and say, "It's My turn now ..."

Holy Spirit COME!
