Simple Faith, Plain Truth, Instruction on Prayer

1 Timothy 2:1-2 (TPT) The Passion Translation

Instruction on Prayer

Most of all, I’m writing to encourage you to pray with gratitude to God. Pray for all men with all forms of prayers and requests as you intercede with intense passion. And pray for every political leader[a] and representative,[b] so that we would be able to live tranquil, undisturbed lives, as we worship the awe-inspiring God with pure hearts.

1 Timothy 2:1-2 (GNT) Good News Translation 

Church Worship

First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, requests, and thanksgivings be offered to God for all people; for kings and all others who are in authority, that we may live a quiet and peaceful life with all reverence toward God and with proper conduct.

 

 

1 Timothy 2:1-2 (NIV) New International Version

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

 

 

1 Timothy 2:1-2 (ICB) International Children’s Bible

Some Rules for Men and Women

First, I tell you to pray for all people. Ask God for the things people need and be thankful to him. You should pray for kings and for all who have authority. Pray for the leaders so that we can have quiet and peaceful lives—lives full of worship and respect for God.

1 Timothy 2:1-2  (MSG) The Message Bible

Simple Faith and Plain Truth

1-3 The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know. Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well so we can be quietly about our business of living simply, in humble contemplation. This is the way our Savior God wants us to live.

 



 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):

Thank you, Lord, please direct my steps this day as I seek energy and your will in all I step aside, into or around.   I do not have enough anymore Lord.  I just need you. https://youtu.be/W52g2kyI8gQ  “I Just Need U” @TobyMac      Those wolves seen me coming a mile away and the great hustle for those in need, duped me right from the start.    But it is okay Father; you never give us more than we cannot handle.   If you keep getting me back up.  Then so be it.    Take the scales off these eyes and show me what next. 

 I know what will be, but I need you Jesus.   Light the way of what path you want my steps to journey to.

Twice in three years, however the first was well known and the ultimate price was paid.     Now these who pretend and take advantage,  Father God.  Forgive me for not pulling others in to manage an accountibility and protection before any more wasted time to end in disappointments.     https://youtu.be/xkvTXDPK2tk   “Scandal of Grace (I’d Be Lost)” @Hillsong UNITED

Most importantly Lord, thank you for allowing me to be in a position to step up and out in faith to help those calling upon me.   Even if I was blinded by my faith, they were really good souls in need.      Forgive them for they do not know you.  May justice be served, and all bad fruit be removed and cleaned forever.

Including me Lord; wake me up and guide my steps.  It is not my place to step up for anyone even when they ask repeatedly.   I know it is because of where I came from in my journey, I am always so quick to help.   But it must stop.   God forgive me, but who truly will be there when it is my true in this messed up world full of haves and have nots!

 

I know you Jesus will always carry me through, pick me up, and even help me see through to the other side.   However, Lord this world game of chess is getting incredibly old of me ending up being a pawn in the games people play.

Lord, as I move past this long night and nonsense waking me again.  I seek your mighty healing for the so many suffering losses of loved ones.   Healing for the many waiting to hear if their loved one will make it out of ICU.     Strangers, family, and friends alike. 

It is you Father that always comes back for the one. https://youtu.be/rMjQxsfLFzo    “Reckless Love” @Cory Ashbury

This world has so much negativity, so much wrong.   Yet, humanity including myself continually thinks we can do things even if we walk with you; later to find out what mistakes needing correcting or healing when we make it from the other side. Lord, I am so thankful that you love a fool like myself. . https://youtu.be/HBoBB0iaiF0 “To Love A Fool” @Cory Ashbury

 

No, I have not went out and done anything terrible.  But I have fed into what should have never been.    I have tried to be me and gave away what I work hard for to help others.  To find we do not have to go anywhere when it comes to the schemes of men that will come to you and take advantage of kindness without question.

It does not even stop there; what about parents that enable their children to keep stability for the babies they have thoughtlessly.   What about those that are close to us that we overlook the indiscretions until they are no more because we try to save them; but they just do not listen.

 

Who says big girls do not cry Father?      Love bleeds out everywhere it is true!   Yours alone Jesus flooded this world with a promise of new beginnings, hope and abundant peace and the only mercy and grace you give.      

 Yet, I keep allowing the world to cut me open and laying there throwing one more block up.  Bleeding love all over the place https://youtu.be/fGB7-BuOaF4  “Bleeding Love” @Leona Lewis

Jesus they will never pull me away from you.    I am far from perfect, but never will I give up the only father, protector and truth in love and life I have ever known.

 

I may forever my days on this earth crave that eternal flame. https://youtu.be/PSoOFn3wQV4   “Eternal Flame” @The Bangles

  Yet because of who I am, and the fact of who I belong.   I may never know what that agape love from the inside out feels like from the outside in.  With that forever.   However, I know eternally there is no greater peace than that which I have with you Jesus.

I pray all those out there doing to others that they would never want done to their own being, or their children or so-called loved ones.   They someday make it right with you Father God.  Father keep them and me in your will.

 

May you hold me tightly Lord as I walk through whatever days I am given ahead.  Thank you for all the lessons, all the love, all the opportunities today, and any tomorrows. 

 In your mighty name you will always be mighty to save all who come to the foot of the cross and want you in.   Even when it hurts!

Bible Verse of the Day (Biblegateway.com)  Meditation Opportunities  

 

God’s Purpose and Plan

Ephesians 1:9-10 (TPT) The Passion Translation And through the revelation of the Anointed One, he unveiled his secret desires to us—the hidden mystery of his long-range plan, which he was delighted to implement from the very beginning of time. 10 And because of God’s unfailing purpose, this detailed plan will reign supreme through every period of time until the fulfillment of all the ages finally reaches its climax—when God makes all things new[a] in all of heaven and earth through Jesus Christ.

 

Ephesians 1:9-10 (GNT) Good News Translation  God did what he had purposed, and made known to us the secret plan he had already decided to complete by means of Christ. 10 This plan, which God will complete when the time is right, is to bring all creation together, everything in heaven and on earth, with Christ as head.

 

Ephesians 1:9-10 (NIV) New International Version he[a] made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.

 

 

Ephesians 1:9-10 (ICB) International Children’s Bible let us know his secret purpose. This was what God wanted, and he planned to do it through Christ. 10 His goal was to carry out his plan when the right time came. He planned that all things in heaven and on earth would be joined together in Christ as the head.

 

Ephesians 1:9-10 (MSG) The Message Bible 7-10 Because of the sacrifice of the Messiah, his blood poured out on the altar of the Cross, we’re a free people—free of penalties and punishments chalked up by all our misdeeds. And not just barely free, either. Abundantly free! He thought of everything, provided for everything we could possibly need, letting us in on the plans he took such delight in making. He set it all out before us in Christ, a long-range plan in which everything would be brought together and summed up in him, everything in deepest heaven, everything on planet earth.



 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):

If I had to do it all over again I would absolutely NOT. As I am reminded by the alarm going off to Lose Myself. https://youtu.be/o113pk2cC9I    “Lose Myself” @TobyMac  I do want to lose myself to find you Lord.   Not empty promises and temporal moments generated from lies and things that transpire at the hands of others greed and selfishness.

So true the wreckage behind me is just it.  Each day you allow me back up one more day to keep doing better while learning so much more every breath allowed to exhale.

I want to find all you are Jesus.   I have never been one for high maintenance fake pretense.    I have never been one to do things just to impress others. 

But as of late I have woke more human than I remembered.    Still making mistakes and finding some of those wayward broken pieces that somehow shifted out of place all over again.

The only unseen I want to believe is all that you are Christ Jesus.   I never really did care what the world thought.    Even when I am wrong, in the end I own it and sincerely know from the pits of anything I came from.   I will nor have I ever purposely done harm or taken from anyone.

Nor will I ever!

Thank you for allowing me up this new day.

Please Lord be with Jennifer as she lay in ICU on a ventilator after collapsing from pneumonia with that and her diabetic crises that occurred from not being treated soon enough.   Lord she is just a kid.    Let her be a testimony to her family.   Let Gary who has come before send her back to healing and do her best with you.    Your will be done for Jennifer and her family.

So many like this beautiful soul going into the depths and only you and their very soul know what is next.

Please be with all the families, all the children left without parents.  Please be with all the children that have parents that harm and destroy everything they are because they themselves are trapped in some dark place of their hearts.

Jesus so many rescues have been coming to the media; but how many more are being robbed.    Shine bright on this world Lord.  Expose all the darkness and harm washing it away and allowing those babies to be set free and do your work.

As I have the headphones on and jamming out typing along.   Trying align the harmonies that music does for this soul.     Tori reminds me about that dear no one that seems to always have much to say but never shows up.   https://youtu.be/njmCUJ94lUM  “Dear No One” @Tori Kelly

 Or how those moments when it should have been us but, truth never comes to light.    https://youtu.be/aE2drlA8vf8 “Should’ve Been Us” @Tori Kelly

Yes, that flesh and all those moments we get tied up believing in what does not align with where we expect, plan, strive for even idolize and chase.      It is only Gods perfect plan that has been set into motion that has come to be truth alone.   Everything truly does happen for a reason.   We are not meant to spend our days chasing what they are when we do not see the results, we think we should.

However, if God has allowed something or someone to be part of your journey there is a reason.    If it is meant to be a lasting thing or someone.   It will; if it is not then he will use his means to expose the what, the why and yes even the who.

 

From experience do not beat yourself up for making choices, connections or doing things that just did not work out.    Be thankful you were given the opportunity to have those moments.     Learn from them, Let them go and if they hurt, let them hurt but must importantly let yourself heal from all that was; and grow into and towards all that is to come.

The unseen dangers are real in every living soul.     They can be our very own or dangers at the hands of others.  It can be the pandemic we are living in this year of 2020.  What you believe is your choice; however, I genuinely believe that God will send out his army and will rescue those who call upon His name.   https://youtu.be/9PugD11k3JU  “Rescue” @Lauren Daigle

We have choices and if we believe we can do things and achieve what we think is worthy of achievement without the creator of all heavens and earth.    How much more is the blessing when we know we cling to his promise, glory and purpose of all unity, peace, love, and abundance of all we feed our spirits with.    All those things that fill us up with peace, and abundant true happiness and lasting joy.

We are worth so much more than anything that is temporal and can be given or taken in our path and journey of the time we are given here and now.

At some point we all believe in something; even when it is not to believe in anything.    There has to be something to it when we purpose to not believe.

I believe we are all kept in the arms of Gods angels.  https://youtu.be/3pvf_OBuJVE  “Arms Of The Angels” @Sarah McLachlan  It is when we consciously do not fight forward with all we are that we lose our way and suffer at the hands of playing with darkness that leaves us lost in Satan’s sandbox.

No matter how many try to scoop us out, no matter how many try to save us.   All in wasted time, until we call upon the Lord ourselves and seek Jesus to lead us every day we are allowed up.  https://youtu.be/fm4xezoYLpo “Call Upon The Lord” @Elevation Worship

 We will just slowly suffocate in our own misfortunes as quicksand in that sand box slowly buries us .

Thoughts to pander or not.   Just what is flowing in this mind maze this morning.   God only knows what we all are really going through. https://youtu.be/lunFIc-8r8o   “God Only Knows” @For King & Country It is only God that can lead you out.   Call upon Him.     Do not hate the players; hate the games and stay far away from them.

If you find yourself tripped up; you can start over in Christ as long as we purpose to call upon him.

 

Lord, there is so many alone, broken, feeling so lost and unwanted, unworthy.  Jesus send your angels to guide and protect them.    Heal all who are broken and want your healing and all those that are in that deep sleep and cannot call upon you at this time.     May they have that one more chance to decide what direction to go.

Lead us Jesus not in temptation and if we are there show us the way out.    Heal us and protect us from the darkness that so easily entangles all we say, do and even become.

Thank you for this new day.  Thank you for all the lessons, blessings, messes, and messages I am to share.

Thank you for allowing me to know who I am; always as I was, always as I can be always just me.  Even if I will never be more than a pawn or an obstacle for many to overcome.

Even if I will be nothing or everything.   I am your child and daughter of the most High King; Prince of peace I am nothing without you.    Thank you for allowing me to know this.

Our Relationship to Civil Authorities

Romans 13:6 (TPT) The Passion Translation This is also the reason you pay your taxes, for governmental authorities are God’s officials who oversee these things.

 

Romans 13:6 (GNT) Good News Translation  That is also why you pay taxes, because the authorities are working for God when they fulfill their duties.

 

Romans 13:6 (NIV) New International Version This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing.

 

 

Romans 13:6 (ICB) International Children’s Bible And this is also why you pay taxes. Rulers are working for God and give their time to their work.

 

Romans 13:6 (MSG) The Message Bible 6-7 That’s also why you pay taxes—so that an orderly way of life can be maintained. Fulfill your obligations as a citizen. Pay your taxes, pay your bills, respect your leaders.



 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):

Timely message planned for what is up ahead or just coincidence in today’s daily bible verse.  Thankful I am allowed up again and given another day to find, be and act on opportunities. 

But feeling the weight of this world thinking how true it is that what was once the proud United States is not so united and really has not been for some time.

Is it humanity in general or is it just the way we have allowed ourselves to drive leadership and for that matter lead?

Everyone wants what they want and if they do not get it, they discard and destroy whatever is in front of them at times like the Tasmanian devil.

I have learned in my journey people will say and do exactly what you want to hear, feel, and see until they get what they want. 

 My perspective I need to say nothing at all if it comes down to saying my thoughts on todays world and the behaviors of all those who have been called to leadership positions.

I woke Lord with the song not for a moment playing in this mind maze of mine.  Reminding me not for one second or any moments have you or will you let us down.   You are constant while everything around us is temporal and ever changing.   https://youtu.be/XD0cvWImVjA   “Not For A Moment” @Vertical Worship @Meredith Andrews

 

There are so many in need out in this world we live.   While listening to some of the elementary kids coming into class last night and a kid about 10 or 11 upset and having open discussion with his mother about the stats of who is really the president because the numbers were changing.   Getting upset while he should be a kid.    No I am not saying they should not know history, or that they should not know how important it is for elections and having leaders in place to help govern a world we are given.    But why a kid is upset about the counts not yet being locked in.

Or what about all those sitting on edge, truly divorcing their spouses over who they voted for.  Starting a rampage of destruction.   Or even those who are faithful Jesus believers and followers posting every few minutes their stress and anxiety over what or who.

Lord we need you now.

I will never say this election does not matter, just like any other.   My employment is heavily impacted every election.  As is the care we help coordinate for all those in need when it comes to serving the elderly and what the world considers least of these.   Those who never have a chance in this corrupt world and live in poverty their entire existence.

We need true selfless, logical, and positive leadership Lord no matter what.   Yes, I cast my vote and it is between you and I Jesus.

However, we need you to wash through this land.    Not just for a moment; Not just for a pandemic; Not just to heal the pains and broken and sick.

We need you now and always but now will do.    Wake us up Lord, please come sweet the nations you have allowed to be.    https://youtu.be/KUYClC6vqKk   “I’m Sorry (a lament)” @TobyMac

 

When we are face down, Lord may we find our ways through you on our knees. But unfortunately, I am just a speck in this vast universe and no matter how long I stay there or how I got there will never be enough.   https://youtu.be/bJwDxWddgSk    “On My Knees” @Jaci Velasquez

 

Lord, may we “Never assume Loud is strong and Quiet is weak.” @author unknown

Please in swift justice, healing and your will and guidance.   I have to believe in you Jesus; I have to believe you know all that will be and all the hope for any tomorrows will allow us to unify someday once again in harmony and love of and with you.   https://youtu.be/BKK130u2uGA  “I Have To Believe” @Rita Springer

I have to  believe in you Lord; for all you allow me to look back on and give thanks.   For all that is yet to come; whatever will be will be.  What others do matter in the essence off remaining safe and shining forward in this huge cavern or cave called our world.   That has so many twists, turns, tunnels and so much darkness.

May your children be the lanterns shining for all trying to find you?    

 Jesus, as I hear the sweet sounds, rifts, worship, harmony of all the instruments for you and with the heartbeats and love who truly seek all you want us to be.  

Only God knows what really is, has been, will be!   Wash over us like the oceans Father God; may every living soul learn what it  means to find heaven through you!   https://youtu.be/-FAsEB6pRtc   “Touch The Sky” @Hillsong United

Bible Verse of the Day (Biblegateway.com)  Meditation Opportunities  

 

Written with Spirit on spirit, his life on our lives!

2 Corinthians 3:6 (TPT) The Passion Translation 6 He alone makes us adequate ministers who are focused on an entirely new covenant. Our ministry is not based on the letter of the law but through the power of the Spirit. The letter of the law kills, but the Spirit pours out life.[a]

2 Corinthians 3:6 (GNT) Good News Translation  6 it is he who made us capable of serving the new covenant, which consists not of a written law but of the Spirit. The written law brings death, but the Spirit gives life.

2 Corinthians 3:6 (NIV) New International Version it is he who made us capable of serving the new covenant, which consists not of a written law but of the Spirit. The written law brings death, but the Spirit gives life.

 

2 Corinthians 3:6 (ICB) International Children’s Bible God made us able to be servants of a new agreement from himself to his people. This new agreement is not a written law. It is of the Spirit. The written law brings death, but the Spirit gives life.

 

2 Corinthians 3:6 (MSG) The Message Bible 4-6 We couldn’t be more sure of ourselves in this—that you, written by Christ himself for God, are our letter of recommendation. We wouldn’t think of writing this kind of letter about ourselves. Only God can write such a letter. His letter authorizes us to help carry out this new plan of action. The plan wasn’t written out with ink on paper, with pages and pages of legal footnotes, killing your spirit. It’s written with Spirit on spirit, his life on our lives!

 

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):

Thank you for this new day.

Thank you for always fighting for me and never stop feeding me strength!   In time maybe not theirs, maybe not mine everything will be alright.   https://youtu.be/in1uxSpvsw0   “Fighting For Me” @Riley Clemmons

 

Jesus your sacrifice has never been wasted or in vain.

So many have turned to you in hope, in love  shining brightly for others to just get through another day.   Hearts have been changed; healing has been overwhelmingly received.    Even if we do not see and feel it in the dark days of here and now.   https://youtu.be/BPYrX7m5Vcs    “Here and Now” @Kenny Chesney

No matter what is or what is not the best is yet to come not in all that we can collect or say we do or have.    It is finding life and dancing in the rain of all the storms.

People will come and go.  Those that stay even when they are gone are meant to be; those who you are just left to clean up after.  Sometimes even heal from what they chipped away and leave broken.    Others sometimes get to stay, and you find a way to fight, love, laugh, cry and grow forward together.

Whatever is, is!  Whatever has not, may not and that’s okay too.   Sometimes the God of this universe protects us from ourselves and others.   Sometimes he gives us courage and strength to always get back up and protect ourselves after some lessons we need to learn.

In any case.  No matter what is happening around us at any given time.   If He allows you up and gives you air in your lungs to breathe.   Just exhale and say thank you.  Even If!  https://youtu.be/B6fA35Ved-Y   “Even If” @MercyMe

So many are going through everything, something, nothing.  Many going through the same exact pains we are, some have already been there and done that.

If you are one of those no matter what stage of the wave you are riding.  It will be okay.   It does not matter what others think of you.  It does not matter what you think of yourself right now because of something crazy  or stupid that may have been done, believed or you are doing.    God has created humanity for far more than getting caught up in what is wrong and if you have a will there is a way to make it to the other side of hope, love and shine bright.

None of us are perfect on this earth.  Although, many will profess to be all that and more.    Just remember the higher the platform they allow their ego to climb on; the more it will hurt when they land from falling.  And everyone always falls.

How we get back up will determine how much rough terrain will be ahead. https://youtu.be/p4rRCjrAyCs    “Hills And Valleys” @Tauren Wells

 

We all have our specialties and talents, and the world needs you and what you can do.  Pay it forward; in words, works, in just listening now more than ever.  In doing something kind for your shut-in neighbors.

Drop off a meal, a thinking of you card.  Mow a lawn, shovel snow.

Just stop being stuck about what is in it for me; and give something back to this universe.

If you are not a people person; plant trees, plant a garden, teach the youth how to do something with their hands besides fighting, steeling, or destroying.

Show our future how to have a future.      We complain and have all sorts of problems because we depend on everyone else in the states and out of the country.  When something goes wrong, we are ready to point fingers.  But few are willing to step up and take ownership of just working through it. 

It is not about whose fault it is yes, the issues at hand matter.  But change it; do something positive and stop feeding into the fires that are burning our world down.

Stop hanging with what is trouble or will bring you down.  If you make mistakes fix it and move away from it.

Instead of always waiting to receive or seeking who you can take from.  Find out how good it really feels to give something back.  Do something from the heart and help good vibes start growing right where you are.

I believe what I believe as you do.   I believe we can be a good person even if we do not confess our faith in Christ Jesus or believe that the same God that holds the universe actually is the one who allows us air in our lungs and allows us up each day.    I believe in Him and I know where I will be on the other side.  Or at least I am living clean and at peace in the here and now.  

I have seen proof there is a God; and I am living proof with all the crap life and this journey from the day I was able to walk has allowed me to get through.

I pray no matter where you are, no matter what you are doing; You too will find the grace and mercy of God by meeting Jesus Christ and inviting him into your spirit right where you are.   I pray you will purpose every day you are allowed back up to learn more about Him and all that his sacrifice was made for.

I pray you will learn who you really are and what your worth in Christ truly is.

None of us are perfect.  But we can start getting as close to perfect as we can by allowing Jesus to come live within your spirit.  We can start living in love and hope and doing our absolute best for all that is good.  And keep getting back up even if we fall along the way.

 

Forgiveness goes a long way for our own misdeeds and towards any who have done and been unjust to you.   It does not mean we need to tolerate bad behaviors or harm from anyone.     But you can pray for those souls as you get as far away as you possibly can.

We can stop judging and living as the world lives.     There are so many ways and reasons to do our absolute best and do with Christ.

But we all have to choose and get there on our own.  But reaching out, surrounding up by other fellow believers and always challenge what others are teaching you.

  Listen there will always be moments in our life that will be like that!   https://youtu.be/GEAy7eXb2lo   “Be Like That” @Kane Brown, ft. Swae Lee & Khalid

   All I can say for me in this imperfect world and me being just a speck of color added to God’s great canvas.   Cling to Him first and always and seek His will and ask for his brushes that should apply the next strokes colors and steps and be your best self-clinging tightly to Him first and if you are blessed with moments in time along the way or for any forever earthly days.  Always give thanks never looking down on anything or anyone.

My perspectives, thoughts, and mind maze dump on any given day.  I am no authority or subject matter expert.  I just know the blessings I have received over time and know unless I am looking down to help, I would be treating everyone with the respect and care I would want for myself.

Yes, we can hate the game but not the player.   Because we all started out in this world the same.  It is what we do with whatever is thrown at us that matters next.

Love yourselves enough and hold yourself with the great respect and tenacity that God created you for.    Love is not a word; it is not five minutes of doing something or that feeling. It is on-going. 

As long as we are allowed up each day, we have to know God is not done with us yet. https://youtu.be/cVHrkYBEgFM    “God’s Not Done With You” @Tauren Wells  We are meant for so much more than being stuck in a spin over what we cannot control, over anything that may have or have not happened to us, with us, for us.     Give it all to him!    

 Love you and love all those created even from a distance.    Be your best self and enjoy the blessings and know just because you have them; well they do not make you any  more or less than the next person.  They just allow you blessings in time.  Knowing all of anything in this world is temporary.     Pass the blessing on; shine on for those behind you and light the way ahead of you.    Be your best self for all you are created to be.   Not what the world is saying.

 

Get back up and forge forward.   Even if its at a crawl do not give up.   Set your soul right and own your heart.

Thank you, Jesus, for another day given in my little piece of this canvas.   Be with this world we are given to live in.   Please hear all those calling upon you.  Heal the broken, comfort all from the losses.   Guide and protect your children and show us the way for any future we will be allowed.

Be with all who I am connected in peace, in love in living spirit.  Thank you

Our Relationship to Civil Authorities

Romans 13:1 (TPT) The Passion Translation Our Relationship to Civil Authorities

13 Every person must submit to and support the authorities over him. For there can be no authority in the universe except by God’s appointment, which means that every authority that exists has been instituted by God.

 

Romans 13:1(GNT) Good News Translation  Duties toward State Authorities

13 Everyone must obey state authorities, because no authority exists without God's permission, and the existing authorities have been put there by God.

 

Romans 13:1 (NIV) New International Version Submission to Governing Authorities

13 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

 

 

Romans 13:1 (ICB) International Children’s Bible Christians Should Obey the Law

13 All of you must obey the government rulers. No one rules unless God has given him the power to rule. And no one rules now without that power from God.

 

 

Romans 13:1 (MSG) The Message Bible To Be a Responsible Citizen

13 1-3 Be a good citizen. All governments are under God. Insofar as there is peace and order, it’s God’s order. So live responsibly as a citizen. If you’re irresponsible to the state, then you’re irresponsible with God, and God will hold you responsible. Duly constituted authorities are only a threat if you’re trying to get by with something. Decent citizens should have nothing to fear.

 

 

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):

Thank you, Lord, for another day up. Lord be with all who are suffering unrest this day of USA Elections.   Be with our Nation in the up and coming days and nights.   We are in a place and time where our choices matter more now than ever.    Jesus be with all who call upon and walk with you.    Directing steps and leading the way every day and not just on Sunday.  https://youtu.be/MKM90u7pf3U  “Closed On Sunday” @Kanye West

So often we get it twisted allowing ourselves to be caught up, caught off guard or just caught and do not understand that there is only one saving grace, one savior which is you.  https://youtu.be/wfbtm14hXNw “There Is A Savior” @Dwell Songs

    We need you Lord, I need you, my family needs you.  Mind, body, and spirit.  Everyone is going through something.  Be it they admit it or try to bury in in the things we say and do.  https://youtu.be/UoOtqAus1YM     “My World Needs You” @Kirk Franklin ft. Tamela Mann, Tasha Cobbs-Leonard and Sarah Reeves

 

Lord there will be many who react this day fully on emotions or logic or even in prayer with  you.

Be with our Nation in the up and coming days.

May humanities stop and think past themselves and start really working towards change.    https://youtu.be/ccvWyzJxPRM     “Change” @NF

We need aggressive positive change Lord!  We the world Jesus need you, need change to get values back into the ground we walk upon.   We are the world because of you.  https://youtu.be/hYJKBnGZnMA     “We Are The World” @Michael Jackson

We are here Lord, as you are fully aware, and you are right next to us waiting for us to just open that door and invite you into our hearts and spirit.

Yet we cannot see you as we are blinded by what the world says we must have and our own spin out of control.  Getting mad, getting even, just getting even when we should not for no reason at all.

How can I be a part of the better?   Not continued kindhearted giving wanting to help those who say they need something.   All that does is allow those who know I will continue to show up.

It is not up to me to fix anything; it is not wrong for the love and care.   But sometimes we just need to walk away and leave it for the one who created it all.

It does not matter where you are from.  Africa, Tennessee, Australia, NY, here there everywhere.   Step up step out and dare to be all you were created to be for yourself.   

So many truly needing life and not taking from anyone while here in in this America that is land of the free.  We become prisoners of what is temporal and does not matter in the end .

 

Each day you allow us up Lord, you allow us possibilities to be all in leading the way for hope, shining forward doing our best and filled with gratitude.   Yet the next couple days will reflect how broken we are.

Not even those entangled with addictions, schemes, darkness that will haunt them for all the days they walk this earth.

Lord how do we get past the fact we let you down.  How do we get past ourselves that we let our own selves down so often?

Today may be our last chance to believe in you, to believe in ourselves and make a difference.   Lord may we call upon your name and pull all the strength we have to be the best we can and do our absolute best with you.   For this world and the future any future for our children.  https://youtu.be/PFWFIya2xGU     “Last Chance” @Shooting Star

Lord they will know who we are and know us by our love of lack of.  And many will not think to care right now.  But no matter who is in charge at that white house.  You will forever more as you always have be the one true King of all Nations.  Father to all Sons and Daughters.   

  You still have the last work or sweep of a hand.  A blink of an eye or removal of air in our lungs.  Good, bad, or indifferent.  You Lord are still in control of all things.  It does not matter of my perspectives or anyone else. https://youtu.be/-ieErLXBrBg “Perspectives with AlwaysMeKelly” @PiecesOfMeOverTime

 

  In the end you will cast all judgement and every knee will bow and answer for what was, is or what was trying to be.  Or even what we just do not move on.

Bible Verse of the Day (Biblegateway.com)  Meditation Opportunities  

 

Called Out Of Darkness For His Purpose

1 Peter 2:9 (TPT) The Passion Translation But you are God’s chosen treasure[a]—priests who are kings,[b] a spiritual “nation” set apart as God’s devoted ones. He called you out of darkness to experience his marvelous light, and now he claims you as his very own. He did this so that you would broadcast his glorious wonders throughout the world.[c]

1 Peter 2:9 (GNT) Good News Translation  But you are the chosen race, the King's priests, the holy nation, God's own people, chosen to proclaim the wonderful acts of God, who called you out of darkness into his own marvelous light

1 Peter 2:9 (NIV) New International Version But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

 

1 Peter 2:9 (ICB) International Children’s Bible But you are chosen people. You are the King’s priests. You are a holy nation. You are a nation that belongs to God alone. God chose you to tell about the wonderful things he has done. He called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

 

1 Peter 2:9 (MSG) The Message Bible 9-10 But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God’s instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you—from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted. I’d think of you and give thanks. But I do more than thank. I ask—ask the God of our Master, Jesus Christ, the God of glory—to make you intelligent and discerning in knowing him personally, your eyes focused and clear, so that you can see exactly what it is he is calling you to do, grasp the immensity of this glorious way of life he has for his followers, oh, the utter extravagance of his work in us who trust him—endless energy, boundless strength!

The Bigger your view of God, the better you are able to walk by faith.

 

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):

Thank you, Father God, for another tomorrow known as today.

Prayers of healing and comfort for all who have to let go of their loved one’s no longer given this day.  May no matter who they were, no matter who they are.  Their souls be at peace and they come to know you or cling tighter with and to you first through all the troubled times ahead.

There is no amount of money, time, or material persons, places or things that will ever replace the broken pieces when we lose those we have come to know and love.

Only you Jesus can fill us with the peace and comfort and give strength to keep getting back up and moving, growing forward.    

Soften the hearts of hate, hurt and all those hang-ups we allow ourselves to become entangled trying to mask what is killing many from the inside out.  https://youtu.be/UqHsGfWiU9g    “Soften My Heart” @Maranatha Singers

 

 

 This Nation, this world needs you Jesus.   Please hear the hearts and cries of all calling upon you.   We know darkness is all around everyone.  Always has been and always will be.

Yet, you Lord have the power to move mountains just as show your chosen how to shine bright safely proactively and productively, for the greater good Jesus. 

Not just for our desires here and now.  For the future of all our children and children’s children!  Shine upon us Lord!   https://youtu.be/uZ55mDL7dA0  “The Blessing” @Elevation Worship ft. Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes

May we rise up Jesus?  https://youtu.be/B87p2WHry9Y   “Rise Up” @Cain

 

So many want so much yet are held back and all we can do is see what is right in front of us.     Lord may we see through those mountains and know it is your voice calling us forward.

It is going to be okay. https://youtu.be/8HznXBBCdBE    “It’s Gonna Be Ok” @Tasha Layton  For all those that are taken advantage of so many others.  For those who are taking advantage of the many. 

 

For all those who have so much darkness running through their veins.    But not nearly enough self confidence in their own being as who you created them to be.  Strong, beautiful, and courageous to contribute so much more to this world than just be and have what everyone else says we must.

Lord for all the lost souls including even my own steps when I stumble off the path thinking I got this and understand.    When in truth I have nothing without you are breathing life into me every second of every day.  https://youtu.be/8-vZlrBYLSU   “Bless The Broken Road” @Rascal Flatts

 

 

I am not sure where I or my loved ones are going Lord.  But I do know where I have been and all you have allowed me through.

I do know Lord; I will keep fighting forward trying to be and do my best even when I know I will never be enough.  Each day you allow me back up.  I will do my best to not judge in others no matter what they are or are not.

  I will do my best not to hate the souls.  Do my best not to allow the darkness to consume me for all I care and cannot change for the better.  As they have to do and change themselves.

There is not a day that does not go by, doubts and fears around somethings and not enough of others.    Forever loved by You Jesus!   This will always be the truth no matter what else is or is not.

No matter how much I am blessed and filled up or I am falling apart broken trying to find all my pieces scattered as I am frantically trying to grasp and put them back.    You Jesus are the only truth in this life I have to stand on.  

https://youtu.be/vrWdkziEuyA   “Truth I’m Standing On” @Leanna Crawford

Please forgive me.   You know this heart this soul and all I feel for.  May I show even a quarter of the mercy and grace towards others on any given day as you show me.

 I will never really know why God allows me to care for so much or so many; even getting connected with so much I will never understand.   For that matter even really want to.   I realize my own weakness; I realize my own strength which all comes from Him alone.   

 

I realize those I truly, madly, and deeply care for and how much I want them to be their best authentic selves.  https://youtu.be/ZkQQU_U48WU    “Truly, Madly, Deeply” @Savage Garden

 I realize I do not understand why I hurt so bad for those I do not even know that just cannot stop doing the things they do not want to do.  Yet will not call out and upon you Jesus.     Lord no matter what mountains or valleys I stand in.  If you are not part of them; they are meaningless.      

 

Someday perhaps when I am looking back down from the heavens above, I will be able to really have that meaning needed to help others be their true authentic selves.    

 

 Where we all that are allowed up that one more time in a world where no tomorrows are ever promised.    We do our absolute best and say what we mean, mean what we say and live with integrity even if we stand and live alone.  If my tomorrow’s never come, I have lived, I have laughed, I have cried rivers.  And I have known what it like to be love and be loved from the inside out.      

 

That love that partnership, that like a winning lotto ticket you find that one you will fight to the end for and with.  Always knowing even if you never talk again; you both would do anything to protect and keep safe in the here and now.   Some can take the love right where they are, some are love wherever they go.   Some will know what it is like to wash through over and over every single thought, moment or second given just to breathe. 

 

I will never want to really know why God; this is a fact.    All the experts can diagnose all that I was, all that I am.  Even those that have taken advantage.    Can sit in laughter thinking they got that one up.       Lord I know you will never allow anything without your reasons.      You the keeper of my soul, that has pulled me from the fires and the depths of hell and the hands of demons themselves.  Well if this is it; this is all that matters. 

 

 Loving can hurt but never as much Jesus as what you did for humanity.   https://youtu.be/qgmXPCX4VzU  “Photograph” @Ed Sheeran

Love is an action; it is not simply words.    Always be careful to never get it twisted and confused.  In any case nothing or no one will ever love as much as Christ Jesus did for and with the Lord God.

Prayer you too will hope in Jesus

Ephesians 1:18 (TPT) The Passion Translation18 I pray that the light of God will illuminate the eyes of your imagination,[a] flooding you with light, until you experience the full revelation of the hope of his calling[b]—that is, the wealth of God’s glorious inheritances that he finds in us, his holy ones!

Ephesians 1:18 (GNT) Good News Translation  18 I ask that your minds may be opened to see his light, so that you will know what is the hope to which he has called you, how rich are the wonderful blessings he promises his people,

Ephesians 1:18 (NIV) New International Version 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people,

 

Ephesians 1:18 (ICB) International Children’s Bible 18 I pray that you will have greater understanding in your heart. Then you will know the hope that God has chosen to give us. I pray that you will know that the b 

 

Ephesians 1:18 (MSG) The Message Bible 15-19 That’s why, when I heard of the solid trust you have in the Master Jesus and your outpouring of love to all the followers of Jesus, I couldn’t stop thanking God for you—every time I prayed, I’d think of you and give thanks. But I do more than thank. I ask—ask the God of our Master, Jesus Christ, the God of glory—to make you intelligent and discerning in knowing him personally, your eyes focused and clear, so that you can see exactly what it is he is calling you to do, grasp the immensity of this glorious way of life he has for his followers, oh, the utter extravagance of his work in us who trust him—endless energy, boundless strength!

Happy Sweet November  https://youtu.be/mBb67TO42LM   “Only Time” @Enya @Sweet November Only  you Lord, and time will direct our steps to healing.

 Thank you, Jesus, for a new day and beginning of a new month Father God. 

 Thank you for the hearts that chase after you, thank you for all who know this world is not our final destination and still have hearts to just be kind and do the best they an with and for others in need.

Thank you for the days you revealed Christ Jesus deep inside this heart.  Thank you for loving  humanity including me, just as we are.  https://youtu.be/rGgX_oqdib4   “Revelation” @Kari Jobe

You Lord love us no how clean or dirty our hearts are.  You love us despite the reasons we do or do not do anything.   For ourselves, for others or to ourselves or for others.

You are our greatest defender Jesus. Despite our inadequacies thinking we can do this world this life on our own without you. https://youtu.be/F9cSRFt42iQ  “Defender” @Francesca Battistelli ft. Steffany Gretzinger

 Many will never  give a second thought of any bad behaviors reflect lack of respect or good character while others will beat themselves into a hold unable to get out because of the self-doubt and believe in who you made them to become.

What about those pretending to be someone or something they are not.

What about the fact of the gossipers, or worriers over things that should not even  be a spark in any one’s mind’s eye? 

  Plant the seeds and lean back and pray it will grow into something steadfast, pure, and  true.  Worthy of shining a light for others to find their way.  https://youtu.be/ixknfMJt21w    “Lean Back” @ft. Amanda Cook and Chandler Moore @Maverick City  Or just aware of how much integrity one many have and can always be counted on if ever needed.

Yet we allow ourselves to get so caught up or caught off guard and allow so much in that we should not.

Just what are we feeding our minds, our hearts, our souls, our physical being, our spiritual beings?

I Father  must run to you.  Thankful that even if the story from more than 2000 years ago that a man of flesh and bones came  to earth suffered,  trying to teach love mercy and grace.  Even if He which he is not was just a man and nothing more.    I  will forever hope in all that He suffered died and came back in spirit and truth to allow  people like me to  have something good too hold onto and believe in.

 

I believe in you Jesus, and I am blessed that you believe in  me too allow any new tomorrows!  

Guide and hold me through all I must journey.
