THE WORD WILL SAVE US

People we cannot keep changing the Word of God to make our lives comfortable, this is not what grace means.  We are still supposed to follow God’s instructions in the new covenant.  We cannot keep living in sin and think we will be saved; this is not why Christ died.  His death was not to release us so we can live in sin; it was to pay the penalty for our sins so we can live.  Grace is not a license to sin, but a gift to repent and opportunity to turn away from sin.   Revelation 1:3 God blesses the one who reads the truth to the Church, and He blesses all who listen to the message and obey what it says, for the time is near.

Father in the name of Jesus the author and finisher of our faith, we arise to establish our legal rights and dominion over every territory and assignment that You have given us.  According to Daniel 9, You are a great and awesome God, who always fulfill Your covenant and keep Your promises of unfailing love to those who love You and obey Your commands.  But Lord, we have sinned and done wrong.  We have rebelled against You and scorned Your commands.  We have refused to listen to Your servants the prophets, who spoke on Your authority to all the people of this land.  Lord, You are in the right; but our faces are covered with shame.  This applies to all of us; none follows Your instructions, and we have turned away refusing to listen to Your voice.  Teach us how to suffer like Job in Your peace, forgive with a pure heart like Peter and, belief in Your promise with the faith of Abraham.  Lord, so many of us listen, but do not hear Your message, and most of them are Your disciples.  They do not teach to save the people with Your Word, but to gain with their greed.  Your people faces no longer show the happy expression of enlightenment, the thrill of discovery, the joy of learning the truth. Father, we ask that You open our hearts and minds so we can receive You, keep us from being religious fanatics, but inward changed men and women.  Who walk in Your love and Spirit, Lord help us be steadfast and truthful to ourselves so that we may honor You.  Lord, right now I ask that You touch the hearts and souls of everyone that hears my voice.  In Jesus mighty name Amen.
