Thoughts on the Time of Year

What a time! I love the Autumn. It is my favorite season…on the outside. On the inside, I hate this time of year. I know what happens at the end of October and I hate it!

Most of the time I can push it to the back of my mind and heart. Yet…it always comes up. Somewhere, somehow, the thought of the children comes to mind…and I find myself fighting tears and lifting up a prayer for them.

What do I pray for? Well, I would like to think He would stop the whole hideous thing, but I know that is not realistic. It is not because God is not big enough, or strong enough, to stop it. It is because He is bound by His own rules. He gave us humans the ability to choose between good and evil, between doing what is right and doing what is wrong. Gentleman that He is, He won’t go back on His word. We were given choice and until He comes back and removes evil once and for all, we will have people committing evil acts.

So, no, I don’t really pray for Him to stop it…at least not very strongly. I do pray for Him to intervene. I pray for Him to protect the hearts and souls of those who will have to endure this time. I pray for Him to protect them from the pain and to take them quickly home. I pray for supernatural comfort to the victims.

I also pray for Him to open the eyes of the good people who are too afraid to take a real and serious look at what is going on around them. For those who are willing to see, I pray that He will open their hearts and give them courage to take a stand. Yet, I hold out little hope for that happening.

If people won’t even take a stand to stop the culture of death we can see so openly, how can I expect them to work to stop the hidden deaths? When people, including babies, are “legally” sacrificed through abortion and through starvation in the “medical” system on the altar of convenience and money…right out in the open, how can there be concern for the children and people being sacrificed in hidden rituals? They are all being sacrificed…whether openly or in secret and the temporary prince and ruler of this earth is laughing at the stupid humans who are serving him through these (and other) practices.

My heart always breaks when I think of these things. However, this time of year I am more keenly aware of it all. It is a reminder to me that this is not my true home. My true home in with God in His kingdom. What is to come after all this ugliness is a beauty so incredible that those who have seen it and come back are unable to adequately describe it. That is what I long for.

The Dentist, Enemies and Curses

I called someone and asked him to pray for me as I went into the dentist. I am so thankful that I did. It actually went better than it has before. I also talked to my system and explained that all was OK. I am sure that probably helped, too.

Yahweh God is there for me. He always has been, although I have not always been able to see it until afterward.

Which brings me to something else. He has been showing me some things lately. One of the things which He has shown me from time to time is that there are people who are praying against me. The cult is very diligent in praying for its enemies…probably way more diligent than Yahweh’s people are about praying for ours. It will not work to pray against me. That is not a challenge…it is simply a statement of fact.

Prayers against someone are basically curses. It says in God’s Word that an undeserved curse is like a bird flitting around that cannot come to rest. I try to live at peace with others…to do nothing that would cause me to deserve a curse. However, all of us, because of the wickedness in our own hearts, deserves to be ultimately cursed. None of us can claim perfect goodness. All we can claim is that we are “better than” this one or that one. Yet, we are all wicked on some level…even if it is hidden in our hearts and not seen in our actions.

That is one reason that I am so grateful for what Yeshua/Jesus already did for me. He suffered and died for all of the wicked things I have ever done or ever will do. He became cursed for me. All of the curses that I deserve He took. Wow!

So, the upshot is this. I am His and no one can cause a curse to come upon me or upon my family. The next part is also important. Whenever I become aware of prayers being offered up against me or against my family I pray for the people doing the praying. I pray for their eyes to be opened to the truth. I pray for the Adversary to be bound up away from them. I pray for them to become free!
