"Prayer request"


Dear ones,  
   Many Christians need to turn off the televangelists, and many even need to stay away from their churches for a period, and go into their prayer closets ALONE, and pray and ask God to see this world through His eyes. The child of God who prays this prayer will be in a shock at what He begins to show them. My prayer request is this: ask the Holy Spirit, the Ruach ha Kodesh, to lead you into all truth, that you will be able to discern the truth about the world leaders and their policies, the church leaders and their false teachings, the traditions of men, the absolute truth of God's Word, and to then ask the Lord what He would have you do.
   He may tell some of you to leave your comfortable churches and find an assembly that preaches the truth of His Word, He may call you to worship at home with a few other believers, as the New Testament believers did, he may tell you to stop supporting certain "ministries" and  give to other more worthy people. He may tell you to spend some time alone with Him in order that He may teach you the truth, as there is only one truth, and to get to know Him in a deeper, more intimate way. He may call you to leave your job, to leave your home, to go somewhere new and prepare for tough times ahead in order to provide a place of true safety, not what the government promises, for your loved ones. After all, He called Abraham to leave the comfort of his homeland and follow Him, he knew not where.
  The Father may not be telling you all the same thing, but be prepared to listen to Him. Prayer is a two - way conversation, and far too often we do all the talking and none of the listening. Be prepared to discover some things that may cause you to become fearful, but remember "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7. Be prepared to toss out some of the beliefs and ideas that you have held dear for years. Mark 7: 7-9 tells us:
   "Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition."
    I think most of you would agree that we are THE GENERATION that Jesus spoke of when He told us  "Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." Matt. 24: 34. He also told us in 2 Thess 2:11 "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie", and also in Matt 24: 24 "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." Do you think the Lord would have given us this warning if it were not possible to be deceived?
    So my prayer for you all is that the Lord would guide you into all truth, no matter how painful that truth will be to accept, and then act upon. May Yashua richly bless you all.
