THE WORLD WE LIVE IN

We only believe what we can see, and we fear what we do not understand.  All we can think about when we feel threaten is destruction, why is humanity so cruel; we sell babies as sex slaves, and our government allows it all to happen.  Marriages are more about wealth and material possessions, then love and happiness.   We have people running our Country, which have no empathy or respect for anyone but themselves; and because they have money, they do not care about the least of us.  We take for granted that we will be here tomorrow and life will go on as usually; we have turned away from God, and it’s every man for himself.  We have brothers against brother, parents that have children for benefits; and people that feel they have no reason to live, which makes them a danger to themselves and others.  We have deadly sexual transmitted diseases, but we are having unprotected sex.  Computers are replacing jobs at an alarming rate, and most of what we eat is being imported from Countries that hate us.  Our water is polluted with pesticides, and God only knows what else, and more and more people are dying from cancer.  Terrorist attacks are happening all around the world, and threats are being made against us, that we do not hear about.  The weather is out of whack because of global warming, and the cost of living continues to rise.  Our Churches have become personal banks and social clubs for the Pastor’s and their associations, and we trust man more than we trust God, sometimes death seems more appealing than life.

2 Peter 3:7  by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.  Isaiah 51:6 "Lift up our eyes to the sky, Then look to the earth beneath; For the sky will vanish like smoke, And the earth will wear out like a garment, And its inhabitants will die in like manner, But My salvation will be forever, And My righteousness will not wane.  2 Peter 3:10-12  the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up. Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening and the coming of the day of the Lord, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat

Lord, every day we wake up, seems like life gets worst; terrorist attacks around the world, children being sold into slavery, and computers are replacing our way of life.  Father, more and more people are dying from all types of sickness and disease; the and our water and food is poison, Your Word has come to pass.  Father, we are letting our possessions possess us, which keep us chasing money; more than we are chasing You.  Lord, we respect people for the car they drive or the house they live in; instead of their character, what is wrong with us.  Lord, we have no kindness, love, or happiness that seems to last; other than the love and peace we receive from You, so why are we so far from You.   Lord, teach the rich, that money did not save people in the first world destruction, and it won't keep them in the next.  Lord, please save us from ourselves, Lord, we open our hearts and mind to You; instead of man that, cannot save us.  Father, we know the body will die, but, our Spirit will live on; if we receive You as our Savior, with faith and trust in You.  So right now Father, we decree and declare that we will do better by You, and we ask for Your strength where we are weak; and keep us humble in our strength.  Lord, we decree and declare that we do believe and trust You, please remove any doubt or fear that separate us.  Father, we believe the wicked will not go unpunished, so do not let us grow weary of doing good, so we will not perish, in Jesus name save us, Amen
