God Forgive Us

Chrislam ??

I read an article from a blog that my friend posted recently about this “movement” and about a prominent church leader attending a conference for Muslims.Dont know all the facts, so I dont want to mislead anyone. My first thought was a prayer that it wasn’t true. My second thought was that if it wasn’t true, it will be soon. So, I was prompted by the Holy Spirit to at least attempt to address it and alot of things that studying His Word and prayer and fasting have led me to share, and that I have been burdened about for some time now.



We are living in the end days, a big falling away, my friends, and if we aren’t, it should be a wakeup call to the church that we are not standing for Christ and the things of God, like we should be. We do not know the year, day or hour when Jesus, the Judge, will return, but He will return, and the church needs to be ready to meet her groom. I don’t know what all was said at such an event, but I pray that if I were allowed/called on to speak before such a group of unbelievers, that I would have the boldness, courage, and His anointing to proclaim God’s truth, the Gospel of Jesus Christ. To know the Son, Jesus Christ, is to know God the Father. Jesus said that if you have seen Him, then you have seen the Father. The Bible is clear that there is no other name above the name of Jesus, where by anyone can be saved. God set the standards for having a relationship with and worshipping/ pleasing Him, not man. God decides what is right, just, and holy, not man. This decision must be made now, on this earth for it to last into eternity. He is clear in His Word, the Old Testament and the New Testament about what He abhors, hates, and what He loves. God never changes and His standards never change, whether people agree, follow, or like them. He is the creator and He sets the rules. He keeps His word (promises, blessings, curses, threats and destruction eternal life (heaven or hell)

Dear people, God doesn’t care how good, wellmeaning, passionate, kind, morale, sincere, happy, unbiased, un-judging , loving, peaceful you are, or how well you preach, sing or play in church one bit IF you have never come to HIM according to His standards, admitted to Him that you are a sinner, and separated from Him because of your sin. He doesn’t care one bit about what you do or say you do in Jesus’ name if you have never approached Him through faith in Jesus Christ alone, and repented of your sins. He doesn’t care how much you give to the church or to the poor, if you deny HIS SON JESUS CHRIST as your personal Lord and Saviour, your only hope for redemption. Belief, trust, faith and completely surrender to Jesus Christ. He is your only hope for reconciling with the Holy, just, jealous God of the BIBLE (the Father of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob). No matter what you do or don’t do, you could never deserve God’s grace, it is a gift, but don’t be mistaken, it was not free it cost Him everything, He was persecuted, disagreed with, laughed at, made fun of, and worse. He chose to give His all, and He expects and demands us to count the cost and expects no less for those who choose to follow Him.



My Prayer in these days:

Dear Father God,

Please forgive them, they don’t know what they are doing. Forgive us as a people, a church and a nation for holding to a form of “godliness” but having unclean hearts and unholy lives. God please help us to repent from turning away from You and Your truth to follow after unsound teaching, false teaching, lies. We are ignorant sheep, who need You to guide us in Your truth. Pour out Your mercy, Your grace and Your forgiveness for our sins, and the sins we have ignored and allowed in our country, our churches, our families and ourselves. Give us pure hearts and minds to love You, and others. Father, the church of America wouldn’t be prepared for a revival right now even if You sent one, because we have failed to honor Your name, failed to possess our possessions, claim Your promises, study and live by Your Word. We have done what is right in our own eyes,and condoned sin in the camp: Idolatry, lying, gossiping, unbelief, homosexuality, unforgiveness, abortion, adultery, stealing, not feeding the poor, not sharing the Gospel, pride, divorce, not caring for the widow and the orphan, gluttony, violence, lust, pornography, unforgiveness, bitterness, drunkenness, rage, putting worthless garbage before our eyes and in our minds, not studying/obeying Your Word, not teaching truth to our church, our children. God we have stopped hating what you hate and loving what You love. We allow junk in our homes and call it harmless entertainment. God forgive us for caring more about what our peers, cultures think than what You think. God, we fail to live by what You say in Your Word, the Bible, and to believe Your promises,and we forget to praise You for all You have done. We grumble and complain and I am so ashamed for us. LORD God, please forgive us for wandering around during time of spiritual war, and not being ready to fight, on our knees in prayer/fasting, crying out to You. Lord we need You, Your grace, Your mercy, Your boldness, Your courage and Your strength. We need to abide in You, to have Your wisdom to know when to keep silent, when to speak out, when to fight, when to rest and wait on You. Your Word teaches that when we fully obey, You will win the battles for us, and give us rest, but when we turn away from You, You will leave us to our sinful ways and allow the enemy to take us. Give us obedient, repentant hearts. Help us to not be afraid or ashamed to take a stand for you. Raise up women, men, youth, children to proclaim TRUTH to our nation, to all nations. Help us to live lives of purity, and that are worthy of the Gospel, for Your glory, to not be ashamed of Jesus Christ, and to not bring shame to His name, that we claim as Christians. Lord, help us in every situation, to step back and look at things through the filter of Your Holy Word. We have become so afraid of being accused of being unkind or seen as judging, that we have forgotten YOUR STANDARD. Lord, we know we are sinners and we cannot live perfect lives, sometimes I cant even see my own sins, but through Your Holy Spirit, You can show me. Help me Lord, to examine my heart, and allow You and Your Word to examine my heart, mind, life in view of Your standard, and repent. Turn our hearts toward You. You Word says that man's goodness is as filthy rags, because You are so holy. I know You will cleanse me from all unrighteousness, as You have promised. You are faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Give me a pure, clean heart, Lord, today and every day. Help me to worship You in Spirit and in truth. I am nothing without You, and with You, a daughter of the KING. You alone are worthy to be praised. God, I know You will keep Your covenant of lovingkindess to those who love You and keep Your commandments. In the name of Jesus Christ and by His perfect righteous blood that was poured out for my sins, and the sins all the people in all the world, Who died on the cross, to conquer Satan, and took on Himself the punishment that I deserve, and conquered sin and death by rising again just as You had written, do whatever it takes for Your people to return to You. Lord, please have mercy on us! Amen
