Watching and Praying in These Last Days are Most Vital
“But The LORD is faithful, who shall establish you, and keep you from evil.” 2 Thessalonians 3:3.
Good morning!
Today is awkward and just plain hard about many things.
People are pondering what decisions to make about a lot of things.
Sometimes it may just be where or when to go somewhere?
Also when to refrain from going can be a life- altering decision.
Obedience is always key.
Also many are still in that valley of decision!
“Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.” Joel 3:14.
Come out and decide already which side you are on!
Here is a old song if your on the right battlefield. Hope it will bless you.
There are disturbances and trouble we are seeing on every hand.
It is in America but in all lands!
The fruits of unrighteous (the works of the flesh) are listed in God’s Word.
“Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like,” Galatians 5:19-21.
No man, woman or political party will be able to fix this country!
Only through fervent prayer, things can be offset or pushed back a little!
If you think all is fixing get better, you are mighty deceived.
“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” 1 Thessalonians 5:3.
We can make no peace treaties with the enemy!
Our only hope true hope is in Jesus Christ!
We must perservere and endure till the end!
Old time saints taught about this endurance.
“Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.” James 1:12.
“Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.” James 5:11.
If you think the enemy will come in one way, he will try to sneak in another.
“Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 26:41.
We need to keep our standards high and our prayers going up!
Our God is faithful that promised and will see us through all things.
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9.
“…But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Matthew 24:13.
God bless you all.

Good morning, dear sister Joyce, I have read this many times and what stood out to me is what I keep hearing as well: “Sometimes it may just be where or when to go somewhere? Also when to refrain from going can be a life- altering decision.”Then I heard some are at a standstill because they are not sure where or when to go and they are stuck because they got the answer but fear stepped in. Then I read on and stopped and prayed at:”No man, woman or political party will be able to fix this country! Only through fervent prayer, things can be offset or pushed back a little! If you think all is fixing get better, you are mighty deceived.”Fear and deception are causing some to be at a standstill and need wisdom to trust and obey! Praying with you in intercession. It seems I was born in the gap and cannot ever get out and have peace to say,”It is finished”. (LOL) Not funny but we have to die to self and take up our Sword. Thanks for spelling it all out, my friend and warrior. In His love, Sandi thanking God we are still standing.
Don’t know what is is about you Sandi, (smile) but as I read your articles and/or replies even,I weep.
We never met in person yet, but there is such a kindred spirit for sure from the beginning.
I’m thankful for the times we have spoken and prayed together.
Keep fighting on the right battlefield for you are a great inspiration to me and many l others!
I love you sister and friend. Prayers always. ❤️
Thank you.
Amen.
Your welcome Sherry as my honor to attempt to obey the Lord in writing. Blessings dear one. ❤️
Wow Joyce, your post reminds me of the very first scripture I taped to my kitchen cabinet after seriously becoming a born-again christian, was James 1:12; not knowing the many ways in which I would be tried. It’s as if it was unavoidable – but it’s better for me to be Blessed by the Lord, than to think of temporary happiness from things and persons.
Thank you for bringing out this scripture – it certainly set the basis for My Story, for which I must be obedient and start to write.
Blessings peace and love to you dear Joyce.
Yes, Jennifer most assuredly write your story. For surely the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Thank you for sharing that. Also, you reminded me of times past with scriptures on my ‘fridge’. Lately it has been coming to me, to write them again and post them there. Be blessed my sister. ❤️
Who knowing the judgement of God that they wich commit such things are worthy of death not only do the same but have pleasure in them that do them
Word of God speak… Hopefully some will turn in these end days as we present the gospel message, Ron. Hearts are so hardened, yet we know the Lord’s heart is not willing any should perish. God bless you and thank you.
