Thurs.’s Devo - Our Future!

Read: Romans 5:1-8:17
Today we read about how God didn’t come down to save people who deserved it, but He came to sinners. God has come down to save America not because we deserved it but because of his grace and love for our nation. He has heard our prayers and it is time to bring heaven to earth. God wants to use his people to bring healing and hope to our nation and the world, but He is going to clean house first. God always begins in the house of God so we are about to see some big name Christian leaders fall. That is always hard to see - painful but it has to happen. It always brings the fear of the Lord which purifies our souls. Our souls are where our will, mind and emotions are and we have allowed the world to make our souls weak and tainted. You can not walk in the world without having your soul damaged and affected. That is why we need to ask the Lord to cleanse our soul daily.
The next place God is going to clean out is Washington D.C. Brace yourself, because we are going to learn things that are going to make us boiling mad but God is exposing them to clean them up.
God highlights certain scriptures from time to time and here are a few that he is highlighting right now. One of them is Luke 11:2 “…Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.” God is bringing down to earth things that are in heaven. Christians are going to get ideas of things that are in heaven and bring them down to earth. John 14:12 “…He that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” It is time for this scripture to be fulfilled. Also, God loves the church, but he is taking his works out of the church into the world. Jesus started his ministry in the synagogues, but he ended his ministry in the streets. We need to take the gospel to the church and heal, deliver, and raise the dead. Then we they will listen to us preach the gospel.
This is the greatest time for the church but we need to be pure vessels who have laid down our lives for the Good News of Christ. Jesus is our first love!
Lord, help us to love God’s law with all our heart, soul and mind. Let us be foolish for you!
