The call of Fasting, prayer, it’s not time to be passive in our response as Christians but to use our weapons.

2 Chronicles 7:14

¹⁴ If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Today the Son is Shining in hearts throughout America. People are talking more maybe today on the internet about Jesus and praying for Gods help.  I pray we do not miss the facts that in life we can get busy, distracted by the world and lose sight of what is truly important.

Spending quality time with our Father in Heaven

Reading the bible

Repenting of our sins, searching our hearts

Turning from areas making changes God puts on our hearts to change.

Some people look to Doctors, Governments, others for all the answers in their lives but God has the answers.  God uses all these wonderful people to help us, but the answers come from God.

Humbling ourselves is a sign of powerful people. Those who see humbling as weak truly do not understand what it means or the significance of it. Humbling is a process of surrender to God, his authority, love, power, moving in our lives. It provides clarity for us, focus on what is important and strength for our everyday lives.

The bible teaches us in Proverbs the start of all wisdom is in the Fear or Respect of the Lord.

Christians today are not powerless but powerful and its time we follow scriptures we should be in a time of fasting and prayer for our people, country, leaders, and those around the world. This is not a time for division but unity, strength, love, prayer, fasting, and following scriptures. It is time for many around our great country to stand together crying out to God from our hearts for healing, God still heals, still delivers, defends, protects, God is the same today, yesterday and forever.

98% of what we fear happening never happens

People get panicked so easily when their trust is in everything else.  The truth is that markets will go up and down, diseases will come and go, if we focus on all of that then we would be on a rollercoaster of emotions and fear.  We need proper perspective understanding that if our hope is in God, we have a future that is secure no matter what is happening in the world around us.

Here are some biblical tips to help us today:

Proverbs tells us to diversify our investment into many areas.

We are to love others and look out for them not being selfish

Giving is a key to our success in life. We should always put back a portion for saving after giving a portion and then living off the rest here is a formula, we use that might help.

10% giving

10% savings

80% living off for normal expenses.  Keeping our mortgage or rent below 30% of income is also a great idea.

Proverbs is full of these tips as well which reinforce what I am saying.

Understand interest good and bad- divide your interest in saving or investing into 72 it tells you how often your money can double or compound.  Also understand it works the opposite on loans and Credit cards.

Our home is not as much of an investment as it does not generate income so remember it’s great to have a home we all need a place to live but if possible to buy one with an apartment or shared living can add more value to make it an investment instead of a liability only.

Ok now let’s look at our attitudes.

Living by faith is important

Loving others, being kind, and giving

We have things happen in our world and wisdom is far more important than fear.

Example: Covet 19

We must live wisely by keeping distance too and taking great measures to keep from getting sick or spreading it to others.  Taking great care of those who are at high risk is important, but this already should be what we are doing with the Flu and other viruses as well.

Praying for each other, our leaders, and those who are sick are important.

Giving thanks for what we have is very important

Taking time to be with our families and remember how important people are to us is important.

If we do not panic our lives will go back to normal in many ways, the markets will go back up again they always do, and if we are ready spiritually having things right with God knowing Jesus as our savior we are ready for eternity.  Life here is temporary anyway but eternity is forever.

Isaiah 41:10 New King James Version (NKJV)

¹⁰ Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

There is much more that can be added but I hope these few tips will help us focus better today.

Pray, Repent, and seek Gods healing power for our heart, soul, and body. 

It is time to come together we unite in unity.

Fear not but have faith.

2 Chronicles 7:14

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Today I bring a powerful message, a reminder for us to humble ourselves.

God created us in His likeness and gave us all the opportunity to serve and love Him. Fear can be overcome with God, death has no victory with God, we can stand strong knowing whatever happens to us today, tomorrow, or 10 years from now Heaven awaits.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life John 3:16

If we repent of our sins, humbling ourselves God Is faith to forgive us and to save our souls and heal our land. It is time to cry out to God ask forgiveness, pray, accept Christ into our hearts turning from our wicked ways so God can heal our land.

Christians today should stand in faith believing knowing God is able to deliver us out of every situation. God can give wisdom to the doctors, workers, leaders, and all of us today for this time and those to come. Fear not, God is still the same today yesterday, today, and forever.

Today I want to remind you I am available to pray with you.
