HOW MUCH DO YOU CARE

Today is Christmas Eve. Most Americans are scurrying about doing what they do. Many Moms are cooking; some Dads are hurrying to buy those things that they did not think of before. Others are excited to see the holiday football games while still others getting ready to try out the gifts they opened early. It is called busy busy busy! There are also the have-nots who won’t be involved in any of the above; some by choice, some by circumstance. Polls reveal that less and less Americans are even aware that Christmas is really about the birth of Jesus Christ. Less and less homes have Bibles in them that are ever read. Yet inside the cover of that complicated appearing book, rest the very words that our God in heaven wanted us to dwell on daily. He introduced us to a complete manual on how to have and enjoy an abundance life of peace, power, pre-eminence and prosperity. Why would we not want to know more?

This morning on the floor of the United States Senate, a bill was passed which will change the lives of every one of us if it goes any further in the process. All experts agree that within 4 or 5 five years the financial impact on Americans will be crushing to the point that by 2050 this once prosperous nation, the home of the American dream will be gone forever in the dust of time. We are about to succumb to an enemy force of devil driven socialists who now control our nation. They are not motivated by what is good for you or the poor, but by position power and money. Our leaders are very self-consumed men and women who have no concern about your future, only theirs.

What is the answer? There are many opinions, but the one thing to keep in mind is that they do not respond to your opinions. What you think is of little or no interest to them. You can generate or forward 10,000 emails a day and they don’t care. You can complain to all your family and friends today and it may not change one thing.

There is on thing that will change this government and it is the one thing that the most of you really have no true concept about. That one thing is prayer. Very few Americans that I encounter really have any knowledge of a Holy Spirit led prayer. Prayer that gets results is birthed in the spirit of a man and fueled by a working knowledge of the Word of God. If those words seem foreign to you, then I have just proved my point. God did not give us the spirit of fear but a spirit of power, love and a sound mind. However; fear of loss seems to be one thing that will finally wake up people. I do advocate or allow any fear to operate in my life but the addressing of the fact that the future of this nation is in great peril and most will do nothing but complain.

Enjoy your families today and tomorrow. Love them and take extra time to see what you have. Walk over to the Bible that may have a bit of dust on it and a few pages stuck together; ask God to show you what is in that awesome book which will help you join serious pray warrior in this battle of the ages. We have not lost yet and every possibility of winning. The Bible says, “…..The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].” Tell me, how deeply do you feel about the future home of your children, or your grandchildren, or even yourself?
