Aug 4th Tuesday and thankful. We had a good time of prayer last evening. There is something very special about reading and praying Scripture. There were eight people present,yet we sensed the ninth person present because of His promise. We did gather in His Name!Old people, men and women, children and grandchildren and we all had perfect access to the throne of GOD,The Father, because we asked permission to enter in,in the Name of The Son Jesus, who is The Christ. We are thankful and grateful for this opportunity to intercede for our political leaders and their wives and we believe we were praying in agreement with The LORD for their salvation. We plan to do this again prior to the 12 Sep rally in Fort Worth.The next prayer meeting will be held at 10PM, space to be limited to the first 20 prepared people of prayer. Location to be determined.We expect GOD to bless Parker County and the USA.Amen.

Proverbs 20:20-21 speaks of truth and reality, there will always be consequences for our actions. This theme is in all of the verses today. Consequence, or an apparent lack of, can be misunderstood because of The LORD's mercy and this misunderstanding leads one to a bad concept of GOD. What did the fool say?

Psalm 27:1-7 encourages us to read to know Him. What do you offer to GOD? Selah.

1st Corinthians 1:-17 Paul wants to help the church and edify the saints. We will read about different kinds of problems in this church and be able to determine the cause of this division. Be careful to note the sin identified and try to trace back to what is the root problem. Be aware of the impact of flesh/carnality in the church that is not repaired promptly. We are responsible for our thoughts, actions, deeds and lack of being spiritual. Our inattention to this detail impacts others.

2nd Chronicles 35:1-36:23 records the deeds of the last men who were kings in Jerusalem prior to the destruction of the city.Take time to visualize how similar the conduct of the people and the political leaders of today are like those in this reading. What do you learn about men and GOD? What is the key factor that separates one king from another and of being called good or bad in the mind of GOD? What caused King Josiah to worship GOD?Be sensitive to the feast days and try to imagine the work associated in getting this "dinner on the grounds" accomplished. How long has it been since King Solomon had his BIG Day?(June 11th,1stKings8)Now can you determine how many kings have served in Jerusalem and how may years are covered since Solomon to Josiah? The last 22 years,six months and ten days were not very pleasant for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, this is a story with many peaks and valleys. Where are you today in your walk with The LORD. How is your fellowship with The Lord Jesus Christ?How do you see us today in these verses?Will there be a Cyrus for America? I summarized those last few verses as similar to the call of The US Marine Corps"looking for a few good men". O that a few good men would stand up today to fight for the cause of Jesus Christ. Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness, Proverbs 20:20. How is your vision? Stewardship time is coming. Read to know Him. Heed His words. Selah. Amen. pj
