Anyone Else Hurting Once Again!
A Prayer from my heart….
I’m hurting at the sheer madness that has gripped the world these past days.
I’m hurting at the anger and venom, the incredible bigotry and hypocrisy.
BUT — the hurt I feel is nothing compared to our heavenly Father’s hurt at our foolish, sinful ways.
Yet the greatest hurt of all to God is the way the Christian community has been split down the middle, and the way in which the same worldly anger and venom is being thrown at brothers and sisters in Christ.
I feel The LORD’s heart breaking, His warm wet tears running down my cheeks.
I feel His anger at us having let Him down yet again.
I hear the Hosts of Heaven grieving with Him.
I even hear the hordes of hell gloating, “They’ll soon be ours!”
Even so, I see The LORD stir once more.
With an angry edge to His voice, I hear Him reply to Satan, “Over My body!” And He laid Himself on The Cross yet again!
What Love, what sacrifice, as we crucify Him one more time — as He dies one more time for us!
I hear the Father speak, “If My People, who are called by my name, will turn from their wickedness and repent, then I will hear from heaven, and I will heal their land.
I WILL send My Spirit. He WILL come to you in power and great glory. I WILL heal your land.”
I feel His pain and anguish over us this morning.
I feel His longing for us to return to Him in unity again — to turn to Him at all!
I am convicted by His presence. I am overpowered by His Love and Mercy.
Forgive me LORD! Please please forgive me. I have done wrong.
Have mercy upon a sinner such as me! Forgive me again and begin to heal our land.
I receive you afresh this morning.
Forgive me.
Thank you!

Yes, I’m hurting as I see and know the world and humanity is being torn apart….even the church. I’m weeping now as I write….my heart..my soul aches, as sin abounds and there’s no repentance! As I feel the Lord’s pain, I cry out and weep often!!! I watch and pray, repent of my sins and hold tightly to the Lord….resting under his wings.
I realize nothing is happening in a vacuum….the Bible is a guide book….and the book of Revelations tells us a lot…..there are fierce battles happening in the heavenlies and on earth, between good and evil. The Lord has provided us with instructions on what we, the church should do. I pray that Christians will wake up from their stupper get a backbone and fight. The world needs us….the Lord is calling us.
I’m gonna ended here, and thank you for another outstanding post. I really like how you makes people think and do a deep dive. May God continue to bless you….peace
Sir, I join you in praying “Father forgive me all my sins”. Father, forgive me, us(the whole world) all our sins for not obeying you but doing things in our own ways. It’s so disheartening Sir seeing all the evil that’s going on around the world.
I believe it’s separation time. It’s time of separating the Wheat from the Chaff. It’s really time to see & know who the real Christians are for by their fruits we shall know them.
May God remove the satanic veil of deception, anger, mob violence, blame games etc from each and everyone of us in Jesus name. Father, you told me you can choose to use any medium to express yourself, please LORD use this medium (anger, violence, disruptions, hatred etc) around and show/express yourself mightily so all may see and fear your awesome name & power in Jesus mighty name.
Please Pastor Chris, don’t be distracted by the madness around the world as God is aware and not surprised & the LORD will have HIS Glory at last.
Shalom Sir.
Thank you for posting this word for it describes what myself and many others have been experiencing. God said recently two words, “Reprobate minds.”
