Thursday: Has The Time Arrived? 4

You shall have not other gods before me, you shall not make for yourself and idol, you shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Honor your father and mother, you shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not covet!

Good Morning, my dear brothers and sisters. It is Thursday and that is family day on this line, and we really need to be praying for families. Do you know what is missing from a lot of families today? Good Parents! How many parents today follow the Bible when it comes to raising their children? How many dads are leading their homes under God? How many parents put God first and then their children? I want you to think about this... we have people coming to Carry The Light Ministries food pantry for food... Nothing for those little ones to eat, and what do they want most for the kids? Mac and Cheese, hot dogs, cans of spaghetti O's. Last week at our local Giant food store, store brand Mac and Cheese was selling for 45 cents per box. I have asked one parent, do you know that if you give up one pack of smokes you can purchase 12 boxes of that Mac and Cheese your kids like, or you can buy a three pound package of hotdogs? This is the way families need to line up their lives. God first, then comes the family and parents need to be parents and we need to pray that way and we need to be helping parents. Yes, when folks come to get food, we help them, but when I smell a car full of smoke, or see the smokes in a pocket, I get them aside and pray with them and tell them about how much money they can spend on the kids if they give up that habit of smoking.

Has The Time Arrived? 4: I am not going to type out my opening lines word for word today, but I do invite you to go to Exodus 20 and read that short chapter. It is the ten commandments, and I ask this question today, how many of them are broken daily in the United States of America and how many times? Without looking up numbers I do know this, more people are murdered each day in the United States than are killed in the two wars we are fighting and that does not count the murder of our unborn babies. More people are killed by drunk drivers in the United States of America each day than are killed in the two wars we are fighting. Think about it folks, none of us like war, but this is happening right here in the United States of America and we seem to just say it is ok. Oh you better not have a DUI checkpoint for that might step on someone's toes, right? Excuse me, but I have the right not to be hit by a drunk driver again and if it takes a checkpoint to get them off the road, so be it...

Psalm 33: 12 - Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose from His inheritance. (NIV) Psalm 1: 1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. (NIV)

How often have you gone to a ball game or to a support our troops rally or a big event of some type and you join in the singing of God Bless America, which is really a prayer in song? God Bless America, Land that I love! We stand and sing this song over and over again and at the same time we do not live for the Lord. The Bible is very clear about this a nation who loves the Lord will be blessed, and people who love the Lord will be blessed. Some of the same people asking God to Bless America are some of the people who are not living for our Lord God. So I ask again today, Has The Time Arrived? ... Tomorrow it will get exciting for tomorrow I am going to bring forth to you or try and bring forth to you about what to do and if indeed the time has arrived. See you tomorrow...

Dear Father in Heaven, When we learn to let You lead our lives, let You lead our families and let You truly lead our Nation, then we will be blessed over and over again and we know that... So instead of me asking You today to bless us and our Nation, I am asking that if You will help us come back to You, one person, one family at a time... Lord, we must face the fact that our President is not a god of any type yet so many people are worshiping him and the ground he walks on. Lord Jesus, please help us to heal this Nation according to the Word of God which we find in the Bible. Father it is time we pick up our Bibles again and join the Christian Army and fight for You. You indeed are our savior and that is one really big blessing we do not want to lose... Help us, to come back to You... in the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Walk with our Lord, let Him lead your family, let Him lead our nation, stand up for God and don't be afraid, and by all means do not be ashamed to tell the world these few words... I love Jesus! Put it on your shirt. Why wear a beer shirt, what has a bottle of beer done for you? Stand up for Jesus, for in the end HE IS GOING TO BE THE ONE TO STAND UP FOR YOU... and folks, please remember to share your blessings, for God indeed will replace them over and over again... love ya, dan.
