Morning Prayer

 Our Father and God, I praise and thank You for Your lovingkindness toward me. I am grateful for Your protection at night. I thank You for the faithfulness of the Holy Spirit to lead me on the path of righteousness.

I am praying for those in authority in our country today. Please give them the wisdom to make the right decisions. Our nation is in such chaos that it is falling apart. There is a total disregard for justice and mercy. Evil has filled the land, and we have forgotten how to be civil. Some are destroying our nation, and I pray, Father, that You pour out Your wrath on them; let Your fierce anger overtake them. You are the God who avenges and judges them, and I ask You to pay back to the wicked what they deserve.

Forgive us for our nation's sins and iniquity. We need to remember how to show mercy and compassion. We have allowed our hearts to be filled with evil. We have turned our backs on the LORD. Please, Father, forgive us.

May we rejoice in Your greatness on this day that You have made. May we be the salt and light that will lift the name of Jesus above all the evil we see? May we give hope to those in despair, encourage one another, and bless someone today in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Morning Prayer

 Morning Prayer is a powerful declaration of faith and reliance on divine guidance. As we begin our day, let us assertively acknowledge the unwavering love of --

Our Father and my God—a love that spans from everlasting to everlasting. This profound love is reserved for those who fear Him, keep His covenant, and remember to obey His precepts. Such is the greatness of His compassion; He is gracious, slow to anger, and abounds in love. Significantly, He does not treat us as our sins deserve.

In this morning prayer, I boldly ask the Lord for daily protection. I seek His mercy and grace not only for myself but also for our friends and loved ones as they face whatever challenges may come their way. Today, I demand protection with unwavering confidence, knowing that His hand will remain upon me, keeping me vigilant against any dangers surrounding me.

Let me be mindful of His presence and guidance in our daily decisions. In the Name of Jesus, Amen. 

Coming Tribulation

 The concept of Tribulation is not just a distant prophecy but a stark reminder of the trials that humanity may face. In Matthew 24:21, it is declared, "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be." This statement underscores an unparalleled period of hardship and testing that will challenge the very fabric of human existence. It is crucial to recognize that these times are not merely hypothetical; they demand our attention and preparedness.

Moreover, verse 22 emphasizes the severity by stating, "And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." This highlights both the intensity and brevity necessary for survival. The assurance given for "the elect's sake" serves as a beacon of hope amidst impending chaos. We must remain vigilant and aware that these foretold events call for resilience and unwavering faith.

We are urged to prepare mentally and spiritually for facing potential tribulations head-on. Understanding these prophecies equips us with the foresight and fortitude to navigate adversity confidently. Embrace this knowledge as an opportunity to strengthen your resolve in anticipation of whatever challenges come our way.

"Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken." This powerful imagery is a stark reminder that these events are not mere allegory but a forewarning of significant upheaval.

In this time of great challenge, it is crucial to recognize what follows: "And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn." This momentous occasion will be marked by universal recognition as they witness "the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." The certainty with which these events are described should compel us to prepare spiritually and mentally for what lies ahead. It is not a matter of speculation or doubt but an assurance that calls for readiness and resilience.

God has made it abundantly clear that we are to prepare for the Tribulation, a time He has warned us about through His Word. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ explicitly stated that the Tribulation would be like the Days of Noah. This is not a mere suggestion but a divine directive. Just as Noah did not wait for the rain to start before building the Ark, we must prepare for what will come before it's too late. Noah spent untold years constructing his Ark, diligently preparing for his Tribulation, and so must we.

The Bible provides these historical accounts as examples, serving as both instruction and warning. As 1 Corinthians 10:11 reminds us, "all these "things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world come." This text underscores our responsibility to learn from past events and heed their lessons in anticipation of future challenges. The call to action is clear—prepare earnestly and faithfully now, before it is too late. Ignoring this call could lead to dire consequences when the time comes upon us suddenly. We must act urgently and resolve; preparation can no longer be postponed.

Refrain from letting anyone tell you that preparing for the Tribulation shows a lack of faith. On the contrary, preparation is a testament to your commitment to God's Word and your earnestness in taking His warnings seriously. God explicitly instructed us to prepare for what is to come, and our duty as believers is to heed this divine guidance.

Let us first document this imperative from Scripture. In Hebrews 11:7, we find a powerful example in Noah: "By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith." Here, Noah's actions were driven by faith—faith that was manifested through preparation. He did not wait passively; instead, he took decisive action in response to God's warning.

Now, let's discuss preparation from three essential perspectives: physical, mental, and spiritual. Physical preparation involves ensuring that you have necessities like food and water stored away—not out of fear but out of prudence and obedience. Mental preparation means cultivating resilience and clarity in times of chaos so that you remain steadfast in your convictions. Spiritual preparation requires deepening your relationship with God through prayer and study so that your faith remains unshakable.

In conclusion, preparing for the Tribulation is not just an act of survival; it is an act of profound faithfulness. Taking these steps seriously now demonstrates unwavering trust in God's promises and readiness for whatever lies ahead.
