Monday 4/15/13 Wars & Rumors of Wars

Dear Father in Heaven, thanks for a great day, a truly wonderful day for most all of us, however, right now, dear Father in Heaven, I ask that You are with all those in Boston and all those who have been injured and with their families, heal wounds and be with families that have lost loved ones.  Please be with our president and all of or leaders as they come together again after bombs go off in Boston.  Now, Lord, if You will please bless me with a message, I would appreciate it.  In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Dear brothers and sisters, please pray and pray and pray for all those who are touched by the bombings, and yes, I am calling them that, that have happened again here in the United States of America in the city of Boston.  Today it has taken me awhile to get to the computer, and I will talk about that later, however, I could not get a subject from God, and now this happened.  Let me get going on Wars and Rumors of Wars.

Monday 4/15/13 Wars and Rumors of Wars

James 4:1 - What causes fights and quarrels among you?  Don't they come from your desires that battle within you?  2 You want something but don't get it.  You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight.  You do  not have, because you do not ask God.  (NIV)

Brothers and sisters, once again we see blood flowing on the streets of one of our cities and once again it is big enough to make the MAJOR news media.  No one is saying at this point what has caused this blood spilling mess.  No one wants to say the bomb word.  However!!

Before I really get into this, our Congress stopped what they were doing, and while not naming what caused the event, they stopped for a moment of SILENCE!!  Take note, Congress people, this is what is wrong with this country, you have TOSSED GOD OUT!!!!  You stop for a moment or minute of silence and you are afraid to call on God to help. I have said this other places, some people laugh at me.  I walked away from a board seat on the Museum of Bus Transportation for this same reason.  A moment of silence is, in my opinion, just not pleasing to our Lord God!  That is my opinion, you that agree might let me know.  Now back to the message.

With that said, brothers and sisters, God is in control and I pray He will let me write about wars and rumors of wars all week.  For today, let's look at James Chapter Four for a minute.  What causes fights and quarrels?  According to James they come from desires that battle within us.  It goes o to say we do not get something we want.  From the gun crimes in a neighborhood where someone takes a handgun and sticks someone else up, they are wanting something they do not have or did not get.  You move it to the large scale, think about it now, people doing things like happened today have an agenda, they are trying to prove their point.  At this time we do not know what those who planted bombs today want, and yes, I am calling them bombs, and time will tell the Bible is correct.  I know that now because the BIBLE IS ALWAYS CORRECT!  The book of James goes on to tell us, "You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want.  You quarrel and fight."  People did not understand it then, and people do not understand it today, they do not.  Wars and rumors of wars, and we are not to worry and I will give scriptures on that later this week, however, we do have concerns.  In closing up on this message today I am again going back to James.  "You do not have, because you do not ask God."  We do not have, because we did not ask God.  Again here you need to know I am talking about our nation as a whole, but I will add this, and you all know I speak my mind.  IF THE SHOE FITS, WEAR IT!!

Dear Father in Heaven, I am going to speak out for You, and Lord, protect this message as it goes out.  Protect it, watch over it, and know this, dear Lord, I am not going to be silenced because of You.  I am standing with You in all things, Lord Jesus, because I love You.  Thanks for dying for me.  In Jesus' name, I pray.  Amen.

Brothers and sisters, out of my cold dead hand they will need to take my Bible.  Now please share your blessings and know that Jesus loves you and I love ya.  Pass it on.
