When we forget the absolute truth about who God is and that He reveals Himself to us through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, then we as a society will continue down a long spiraling road to udder destruction and we will have no one to blame, but ourselves. We can become so arrogant and prideful. We like building ourselves up. There are consequences to our actions though.
The world around us wants nothing to do with Almighty God even though He is the One that they desperately need. I need the Lord each and every moment of everyday. The older I get I realize that I need Him even more. The world does seem to be coming apart at it's seams, but you know what?
The Lord is not surprised by any of it. God knows our hearts and our thoughts. He knows what will take to draw people toward Himself. The Lord uses adverse conditions to draw us nearer to Him. Some people fail to draw near Him unfortunately and some even fail to recognize that He indeed exists.
God does exist. He is real and God is alive! The Lord is the Creator of all things seen and unseen. He Created we human beings in His image. All people are special and loved by God. He wants all people to come to faith in Him through Jesus Christ. There is only One God and He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God reveals Himself in just one book and that is the Holy Bible.
God demonstrated His great love for the world by sending His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, into this world to live a perfect and sinless life. Jesus went and laid down His life upon the Cross dying for our sins. He died for my sins, your sins, and the sins of every single person in the entire world.
We must repent of our sins and trust in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior in order to be saved from our sins. Jesus paid the price for us and we need to receive Him and believe in what He did for us on the Cross.
Jesus is the Savior that the world is seeking for. It is Jesus Christ that is the answer to the worlds problems and anger. People need the Lord. People need to hear the Gospel message of Jesus Christ.
We believers in Christ need to come together and pray for people's eyes to be opened to the Truth of God's Word and the Truth of who Jesus is. The Day of the Lord's return is drawing nearer day by day. We must continue in spreading the Gospel and we really need to love one another so the world can see the love of Jesus that flows through us by the Holy Spirit.
I am reminded of the time when Jesus was praying just before He was arrested in the garden. He prayed for everyone who would believe in Him through the Apostle's message.
John 17:20-27,
"20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message,
21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—
23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.
25 “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me.
26 I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”
The Lord Jesus prayed for all believers and He is still praying for you and I in Heaven. The unbelieving world doesn't know the Lord and they will continue to get worse in their current state, but there is hope for them in Jesus Christ.
We believers in Christ must remember the hope we have in Jesus Christ and continue to pray for those who do not know the Lord. We must pray that the Lord would send out more workers into the Harvest Field and draw more people to Him for Salvation.
Let us love the Lord with our entire being and start loving each other as Christ loves us.
Lord, Heavenly Father,
We Praise Your Holy Name.
We come to You Lord with broken hearts.
There is so much hurting and anger.
There are so many who do not know You.
You are the Great Almighty God.
There is no other God besides You.
Hear our prayers O Lord.
We pray for the people in this world who do not know You.
We pray that their hearts would be opened to You.
We ask that You would open their eyes to the truth of who You are.
We ask that You send revival upon all of those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ.
Send us a fresh faith Almighty God.
Revive our Spirit.
Send a Spiritual Awaking that would spread from one side of the world to the other.
Awaken the Body of Christ out of our sleep.
Thank You Jesus that You still Save.
You are Holy and Just in Your Judgments.
Touch us O Lord with Your healing touch.
Help us to allow our lights shine for You in this dark world.
Come soon our Lord, our God.
In Jesus name we pray,
Amen.
