Just a Word

 In all that we go though in  life, we are Christ's ambassadors. As we continue to live as ambassadors of Christ, let us persevere what God has commanded us to do. No matter what hardhips we may go through, we still need to be strong leaders who have overcame greater hardships that we have ever imagine. We can learn from them.

Lately, many Christians have forgotten about their Christianity and serving idol gods. They have wandered back under idol gods. Yet ,we know what happen to Israel  and we  are doing the same thing. How can you connect your spirit with an ungodly spirit? It is all because we can not find room in our heart to forgive. Yet, most of us have sin, because the Bible say, for we all have fallen short of God's glory. God forgave us,  yet we can not forgive.

Unforgiveness can turn into a serious disease that we will not be able to combat unless, we find forgiveness in our heart. Just a few weeks a young lady called me, because she was so confused. People were telling her to go against her belief, just because a person made a statement.  As a child of God we must love everyone and hate sin. I could ask one question and many would throw stones at me, but please think about it.

How many times have you told a lie? How many times before you truly got saved have you cheated , committed fornication, adultery and all the rest? See, you get my point. We all have be in areas where we should not have been, but we asked for forgiveness and God forgave us. Please think about it and be truthful to yourself because God already knows. Say a little pray and ask God to help you to forgive others as He does so many times. Then, ask the Lord who should I vote for, I am truly your Child and I want to be like Jesus and not what someone told me. Stay under the protection of the true and Living God and you will succeed. areskridge@sbcglobal.net. Annie Dennis Eskridge. Just a word for you to think about.

Prayer

Prayer is communicating from the heart of a person to the ear of God. Throughout theOld Testament and New Testaments, we find God answering prayers of those who needed him. We are familiar with David, who prayed for forgiveness and resotration after being caught in sin, and God heard his prayer.  Then we had Elisha who prayed for this servant's eyes to be opened to see the army of the Lord and God made it so ,as found in 1 Kings 6:17).

Jesus gave us Scriptures to tell us how to prayer.  He declared that praying to impress others makes people hypocrites. He decribed the hypocrites as those who found conspicous places to stand and pray in the synagogue and even on the street corners. When we pray, we should not pray to show the public, how pious and spiritual we are.  Out motivation should be to glorify and seek God and God alone.

As we slowly approach the upcoming election, we need to pray for God's will be done in the elections in the United States and in the political proess of nations around the world(Psalm75:5-7). Then, we can speak to God for ourselves and ask Him, who should you vote for? Christians can not vote for anyone or anything. But, we must have a forgiving heart and ask the Lord to show you, who cares about my welfare?

Finally, we can not listen to liars because a liar will eventually destroy themselves. The truth will always stand when a lie will fall off the scene. Then, how many of us have said or done things that others had a problem with? Now, you get my point. Be blessed and enjoy the rest of your week.
