Wednesday 4/29/15 Love or Hate! (3)

Dear Father in Heaven: I love You and I really appreciate all that You do for all of us. Lord, please be with our military, our police, firefighters, and first responders as they seem to be put in harm's way by protesters in several towns. Lord, today was a hard day. Thanks for Your comfort during this trying day for us. Lord, please bless me with a message that will share Your love and then to dispatch the message on this our Salvation Wednesday. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.

Dear brothers and sisters, it was indeed a trying day for us here at the Southern Location of the North Pole. Today after many, many prayers and many tears we had to say goodbye to three dear, dear friends. Most of you know that over the years Dolores and I have adopted many senior dogs to let them live out their lives with us. Today with the help of our veterinarian who came to our home and with the help of dear friends Grant and Wanda, we said goodbye to Mickey and Minnie, two small chihuahuas who we have had for about eight years. According to our records they were 15 years old. That was so hard, and at the same time we also said goodbye to "Morgan," our beloved little Yorkshire, who we have had for over nine years. Morgan was blind when he came to us. He was almost 23 years old. Again, this was a hard decision but it had to be done. Please pray for us this day in the home-going of our beloved rescues. We still  have four, three rescues and our dear little Martin Martin Jr. And we will not be rescuing any more dogs. We also  have two beautiful cats.

Please remember that this is Wednesday and that makes it Salvation Wednesday on this line. Please also pray for our nation, as you can see our nation is in trouble.

Please remember that on Saturday there is a "Support Our Troops" Rally on the Capitol steps in Harrisburg, PA. The time is from noon to 1:00 PM. I have been blessed again to give the opening prayers and the benediction. Please cover me with prayer as I do this mission for God. Now to the message, Love or Hate.

Salvation Wednesday: April 29, 2015: Love or Hate (Day Three)

2 Chronicles 7:14 - If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. (NIV)

I have watched and watched the events that are going on in Baltimore, MD and now some in New York. First, I do not know what caused the death of the man who died in the hands of those police officers who had arrested him and put him in the "paddy wagon," but I do know this, burning of the city, burning cars, stealing from stores by looters is not helping anything or anybody, it is just causing more and more trouble. I have noticed that one thing is really missing, one very major thing. GOD IS MISSING. The pastors taking to the streets are not trying to bring God back into the picture but are making excuses why this has been happening. If the people of thee towns would get their children and take them to church and teach them those two basic things, Love God and Love Your Neighbors, things could get turned around. I watched as one young man was showing his marks on his body after he was shot with "bean bags." The young man was asked by the news reporter what he did to be shot with the bean bags. He stated that he did nothing except throw bottles and bricks at the police. He should be glad that he was not shot dead!! That same man talked about different ways he was treated when when he was arrested. He stated sometimes he was treated roughly, other times gently. So how many times was he arrested? I have no idea. But it sounded like a lot of arrests. The only way I know that we will ever get peace in our neighborhoods, black or white, is if we get back to God. IT IS THE ONLY WAY, BROTHERS AND SISTERS. More money for schools will not help, more free things will not help. God and love will be the only way to ever get these things straightened out. This is also a world-wide problem, not just in our big cities. Last night two shootings in Harrisburg. Every night you can count on someone being shot between Harrisburg, York, Lancaster, Lebanon, Carlisle, and points between.

I do not want to labor on this point, so what I am going to do is this. Pastors, please start pushing people to pray for our nation and to pray for Peace. Brothers and sisters, please start praying and pray for peace, and brothers and sisters, please pray boldly and pray until something happens. PRAY, WARRIORS, PRAY. Please do not stand and point fingers, please just pray. Pray, pray, and pray some more. And ask others to pray. God is not just an answer, He is the only answer. Again, do not place blame, place prayers. Let me get that started.

Dear Father in Heaven. In the Name of Jesus I ask that You heal our country, that You help Your people bring love and not hate. Help us to walk in the Light of Jesus and offer up our hand of love and friendship. Please, Lord, help politicians not to promise to get votes, but to work with people. Lord, put Your loving hand around peace-keepers, helping them in all they do. And Father, please send Jesus back soon. Until You come to get us, please help us to be a light of Yours to point out Your love and helping show others You are indeed the only way. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.

Now go forth praying and sharing God's love and your blessings with others. Love ya.

Pastor Dan
