Based on Psalm 119:139,
Proverbs 28:9, Titus 1:1-16, Lamentations 1:1-2:22.
Through my daily readings back in The Fall of 2008, God was basically
saying to me, “I have told you.” So I started to record in my
journals what He told me then, and I am sharing these on my blog under the
label The Fall (Pun Intended) of 2008.
As always, honest sharing and
civil discourse are most welcome.
Now
entering Lamentations, where I see more clearly that the Lord is the only One
Who can heal and help us now. In Psalm 119:139, He is showing me that “my zeal
has consumed me because the unbelievers have forgotten God’s words,” yet the
Lord wants us [believers] to arise and cry out at the beginning of the watches
to pour out our hearts like water before the face of the Lord; He also wants us
to lift our hands toward Him
(Lamentations 2:19). Lord, it is hard to pray for the ones who have
turned away their ears from hearing the law, especially knowing from Proverbs
28:9 that “even God turns His ear from their prayers.” It says in that verse
that “one who turns his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an
abomination.” Nevertheless, like Abraham interceded for Sodom and Gomorrah, we,
also, are to lift our prayers in their stead and on their behalf that they
might be spared -- not necessarily that they will be spared from physical trial
and tribulation, but spared, at least, from eternal suffering and eternal loss.
We are to pray that they be saved, rescued, as He saved and rescued us, who
also knew no better. That they be enclosed in His Safe Embrace and brought into
the cleft of The Rock until these storms have passed. We are to pray for those
who cannot pray for themselves – either because they do not know (My people perish for lack of knowledge) or because
they are so wounded that their walls have crumbled. We who live in Christ and
by the Holy Spirit are to serve as Repairers of the
Breach.
Our
prayer, oh Lord, is for the salvations of many – even on the eve of this
national election! May You meet them even now, even on the road to the voting
booths! Come and gently remove the blindfolds of deception. Show them and welcome
them into Your arms! I know that
trouble (for many, including myself) is often the path that brings people into
Your Pasture of Protection, but I’ll go ahead and pray that if they can come to
You any other way, by any less arduous path, that You are able to accomplish it.
Yes, Child, pray for those who are lost or who have no curiosity,
or who have no inkling that My word is true. Child, I listen to you. I hear
your heart. You were one of those once. Child, you ask in Jesus for salvations
to be accomplished, and, Child, My answer to prayers like these is YES. And
amen! All heaven agrees. So child,
start thanking me now – and trust, no matter what transpires during this American
election.
Lord,
we’re allowed to ask for miracles – in fact, I believe You are encouraging us
to ask for the desires of our hearts, to reach high on the evening approaching
this election! We’re allowed to
ask for miracles – and for Your Mighty Works! Many, Lord, we ask for many! That
many would see You and say so, even now. I remember when I asked for a miracle
for Stoker the Cat, and a miracle came forth from an x-ray taken by Dr. Light,
who discerned it was one. I remember laughing with joy at the miracle and Your
sense of humor sending the news through a man named Dr. Light.
You so have mercy in your heart, My daughter, but you need to cut
away the edges of anger, which you have not yet realized has burnt the edges of
your prayers regarding this national election. Ask Me for clarity on My Mind about
on this matter, and ask to obtain it in order to pray it. Then pray it, even if
you sound like Jonah sounded regarding Ninevah. Pray in the Spirit so I can
flow through, for the time is short before this election which I AM calling The
Fall of 2008.
