WHAT'S ON YOUR ALTAR? PART 3

    In this blog I again ask you a personal question. In part 2 I write about the altar itself and in part 1 I established that Jesus was the sacrifice made for the sins of the world. Again I ask the same question but with a different meaning. Again, I am focusing on Abraham. Abraham acted on faith. By any measure, it was, and still is, a huge gesture of faith. There are many publications and sermons written about this. You can find the account in Genesis 22:1-19.

God tested Abraham. However, as a man, Abraham was willing to sacrifice his most prized treasure, his son Isaac. What brought Abraham to this point? Isaac represented the promise of God. Today, I want to ask you, what or who is your most prized treasure? Are you willing to sacrifice your treasure to God if He asks? What can you put on your personal altar? Perhaps it is a relationship with a spouse.

And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. Genesis 22:2

And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together. Genesis 22:6

This test was never required again. It is the only time God has asked anyone to sacrifice a child. At that time sacrificing children was common, just as abortion is common in some countries. The account of Abraham is a foreshadowing of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Jesus was the sacrificial lamb slain for the sins of the world.

There are similarities to consider. God was willing to sacrifice His only Son, Jesus, just as Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son Isaac. Take a look at the comparison below.

Obedience means a lot to God. It should be important to us as well. Obedience is better than sacrifice. 

And Samuel said, “Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 1 Samuel 15:22

Abraham had learnt his lesson of disobedience. His sin with Hagar was punished. If we don't understand who our God is then we can be like Abraham and mistake the identity of the real promise. I will make a quick detour to explain this.

Sarah, Abraham's married wife was not Ishmael's birth mother. They substituted God's perfect will for a tradition. This was a situation contrived by humans and did not reflect God's character. God did not create this situation. If God makes you a promise, it is based on the terms He determines to be acceptable. God did not approve of the use of a handmaiden. 

God is able and therefore man's interference (both Abraham's and Sarah's) was due to doubt in God's ability to keep good on His promise. In short they are saying; God is not able. It is similar to slapping God in the face. Yet, despite this, because Ishmael is of the seed of Abraham, God has blessed and continues to bless the Ishmaelites.

  

Let us continue. Abraham was punished in the same place of the sin. The whole family had to be circumcised. Circumcision is practised to this day and is a memorial of Abraham's disobedience and distrust. God asks us to give complete submission and obedience.

At this point in his life Abraham's attitude is different. When God asks him to sacrifice his son as a burnt offering he complies fully. Abraham did not know that it was a test. He had to trust that God knew what a great sacrifice it would be for him. He had to believe that God will keep His promise to give him nations as descendants. When God speaks it is fixed.

And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. Genesis 22:8

The reward was a covenant formed between God and Abraham and his lineage. 

That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. Genesis 22:17-18

The sacrifice made by Jesus is a fulfilment of Isaac's near sacrifice. It ultimately fulfils the request made by Father God. God will not ask you anything that He is not able or willing to do Himself. He will even take the burden away from you as He did by providing Jesus in place of Isaac. Look at verse 8, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering. Out of Abraham's mouth was the prophecy, it is in future tense and it says that God will do it Himself. 

In the King James Version (KJV), the Hebrew word 'Jehovahjireh' is used, it means 'The LORD will provide'. Compare Genesis 22:14 in the KJV to the Berean Standard Bible (BSB);

And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.  (KJV)

And Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide. So to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.” (BSB)

The sacrifice and provision of God was so immensely important to the Jews, they changed the name of the location. It was once called 'Salem'. Shem called it 'Salem' but Abraham called it 'yireh'. The two names were combined to be 'yireh-salem' which eventually became Jerusalem.

When we face tests we build capacity. The testings are to see our obedience. God tests to build strength in us but the devil tests to weaken us and separate us from God. In direct comparison, the ministry of the cross is that of reconciliation with God. Separation occurred with the sin of disobedience in the garden of Eden.

Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice, rendering any animal sacrifice unnecessary. Sometimes we place obstacles in the way of our relationship with God. Jesus's sacrifice brought us back to God. Sometimes those obstacles are relationships or things we care about deeply. Can you give it up to God? Would you be content with God's solution or response? He prefers obedience.

I pray you have strength to be obedient to God in Jesus name.

Dear Heavenly Father,

I ask you to forgive my sins in knowledge or ignorance. Please forgive me. I accept Jesus as my Saviour. I ask that Jesus comes into my life as I live to be a witness for Him. Please change my life and make me into the person you want me to be. Guide me in these times so I can be used by you to help others in Jesus name I pray. Thank you Father.

WHAT'S ON YOUR ALTAR? PART 2

In part 1 of this mini series, I spoke of altars and sacrifices. When Jesus died on the cross He became the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. In this part, I want to ask the same question but with a different meaning. In the first part, it is explained that Jesus was on the altar for us. In this part I am asking you about your personal altar. 

Altar

An altar is a place of sacrifice. A place where a transaction occurs. Something is offered, and something is accepted or rejected. If the terms are accepted, an exchange occurs. Jesus became the lamb that was slain and God accepted the sacrifice. In return for pleasing God on the cross, God forgives us of our sins provided that we too, accept the sacrifice. This transaction is called a covenant. 

Altars and sacrifices were used to create covenant between man and God. 

Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your offspring.” So Abram built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to him. Genesis 12:7 

Abram's altar commemorates the gift and is used to give back something pleasing to God. However, for God to accept your sacrifice, the altar and the sacrifice must be satisfactory. In Matthew 5:23-24, Jesus says;

So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

Jesus is saying the transaction or altar cannot be accepted if your heart is filled with anger or someone has an accusation against you. Also, only clean animals should be sacrificed on the altars. Animals should be without blemish. This is why Jesus's sacrifice is perfect and still effective. Jesus is without sin. 

Then Noah built an altar to the LORD. And taking from every kind of clean animal and clean bird, he offered burnt offerings on the altar. Genesis 8:20 

With a clean heart given to God, we can have covenant with God. Our sacrifice can be acceptable. With a clean heart, we can approach God or be in His presence. Your altar is not clean if your life is not clean. You cannot engage in sin and expect God to accept your altar. As David said, 

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy Holy Spirit from me.

Psalm 51:10-11

Since we no longer build physical altars we are to use our hearts as our altars. What is your altar made of? Is it without spot or sin? Do you clean your altar by going before God with a repentant heart? Do you act with forgiveness towards others to avoid accusations made against you?

I pray that your altar is made with a good foundation of the love of Christ and the sweet fellowship of The Holy Spirit in Jesus name.

Dear Heavenly Father,

I ask you to forgive my sins in knowledge or ignorance. Please forgive me. I accept Jesus as my Saviour. I ask that Jesus comes into my life as I live to be a witness for Him. Please change my life and make me into the person you want me to be. Guide me in these times so I can be used by you to help others in Jesus name I pray. Thank you Father.

WHAT'S ON YOUR ALTAR? PART 1

Church in Berlin, pic by Bodo Kubrak

    Christians and non-Christians are very familiar with the account of Abraham and the burning bush. The story has been told with different lessons garnered from it. Today I want to look at the altar. Often we overlook the structure and focus on the people involved. A number of religions have altars and because of this I think it is worthy of a little more thought. 

The Bible speaks of altars set up by the Jews in God's honour and it speaks of altars for other deities. In the field of research, the altars or bamah set up by other people groups have proven the Bible as a historical record. The altar is situated in or near a place of worship (1 Kings 12:31) and represent the deity it was built for. The size, height or location seems to have little meaning today.

Christians generally feel that altars are only relevant to the church setting but this is far from the truth. We have both the physical altar and the spiritual altar. The altar in the church is to be maintained with the holiness of the those using the altar. The Christian altar is located in a space that it kept holy unto Jesus Christ, Son of the living God. 

Prior to the building of the temple by King Solomon, there were high places or shrines used e.g., at Bethel.  It was used for the worship of Yahweh (1 Samuel 9:16-24). But when used to worship other gods it was referred to as not good in the Bible. After the temple of Jerusalem was built, it was no longer acceptable to use these shrines and altars. 

Meanwhile the people sacrificed at the high places, because there was no house built for the name of the Lord until those days. And Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the statutes of his father David, except that he sacrificed and burned incense at the high places. 1 Kings 3:2-3

Kings were judged based on how they treated the altar. 

Now the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place: Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar. At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, “Ask! What shall I give you?” 1 Kings 3:4-5

Solomon received immense favour from God. He even got what He did not request. For Christians today the altar is not just a physical structure. The altar itself is no longer in the open and can be small. Sacrificing animals is not required because Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice.

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:29

For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. Romans 8:3

As Christians, we have the assuredness of Christ Jesus as the ultimate sacrifice on the altar before God. He is perfect and acceptable to The Father. God provided the sacrificial lamb for Abraham just as He did with Jesus who does the will of The Father.

I pray Jesus is on your altar and that you live each day thanking God for giving the sacrificial lamb and accepting Him for your sins. I am eternally grateful myself.

 Dear Heavenly Father,

I ask you to forgive my sins in knowledge or ignorance. Please forgive me. I accept Jesus as my Saviour. I ask that Jesus comes into my life as I live to be a witness for Him. Please change my life and make me into the person you want me to be. Guide me in these times so I can be used by you to help others in Jesus name I pray. Thank you Father.

NO MORE EXCUSES

    

    People have gotten very good at excuses. Excuses to not care or excuses to not do anything. Making money takes some effort and there are those who will excuse their way out of this as well. A very popular excuse is 'I didn't know'. In the Old Testament time this was also used. After Jacob got up from the dream known as 'Jacob's Ladder', this is what he said.

Now Jacob went out from Beersheba and went toward Haran. So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep. Genesis 28:10-11

In this New Testament time, knowledge has increased. Knowledge has become portable and accessible. There are sectors of industries that have developed as knowledge based. But it is not just that knowledge has increased, it is that walking with God is now by grace and not law. It is simplified although it is not necessarily easier. To follow the law is difficult as there are over 600 laws.

Although it was not easy to live by the laws, there were those who were able to build a relationship with God during the Old Testament times and are still teaching us. David wrote the book of Psalms which is packed with revelation. To this day we cannot yet unravel some of its mysteries. Knowledge about God is so important that God gave us the gift of The Holy Spirit to teach us.  

The rock or stone that Jacob slept on is symbolic of Jesus the cornerstone. Jacob did not know Him. But we do. The most influential person in the world is Jesus. The most written about topic is Jesus. We cannot use the excuse, 'we didn't know' of Him. Knowing about Jesus is a matter of salvation. 

Through our belief and life in Christ we are saved. We are saved by the blood of Jesus and by our testimony. 

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. Revelations 12:11

If we are not saved then we will perish. This is eternal life in hell.  

But if they do not obey, then they perish by the sword and die without knowledge. My people perish for a lack of knowledge. Job 36:12

 

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. Hosea 4:6

 This might sound harsh but let us look at the other side of it to test it.

But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. 2 Corinthians 4:3-4

It is not God who blinds the minds of the unsaved. It is the devil who does that. He has the right to do this because the unsaved deny Christ. It is cause and effect. Because people deny Christ they open themselves to be blinded. God's mercy is that we as His children can pray for them to be saved and He can reveal Christ to them. The choice is the people's to be saved from eternal damnation or to have everlasting life in Christ. 

I pray that all blind folds on your eyes are removed. I pray Jesus is revealed to you more and more in Jesus name. 

You can pray this prayer if you want to give your heart and life to Jesus.

 Dear Heavenly Father,

I ask you to forgive my sins in knowledge or ignorance. Please forgive me. I accept Jesus as my Saviour. I ask that Jesus comes into my life as I live to be a witness for Him. Please change my life and make me into the person you want me to be. Guide me in these times so I can be used by you to help others in Jesus name I pray. Thank you Father.

HOW TO TURN THE PAST AROUND

    

    We all have a past. The past can be torrid or violent. It can represent desperate times. It can be filled with shame. Most people will look at the account of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32) for comfort. Today I want to point you to another revelation or another direction. It is found in 1 Chronicles 4 and known as the Prayer of Jabez.

I know it sounds scandalous but hear me out on this. This prayer has had its misuses and misunderstandings despite its brevity. Let us first look at the individual. Jabez did not like his name. He was named by his mother, Because I bare him with sorrow (vs 9). Indeed his name became a pain point to him as well. It filled him with shame and guilt. How can a mother do this to her own child?

Even though Jabez was more honourable than his brethren, he could not tap into the blessings. He was held back by his name. His name was due to the past circumstances or events of his life. His mother made a memorial to her pain in his name. Often our antics or activities cause our family or parents pain. Jabez had to live with it.

Sometimes we are able to break free from our past but others keep reminding us of it. Our environment keeps us in the past. He was among his brethren who prospered around him yet he could not prosper. His name kept him in the pain or the mess that was created in the past. 

And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested. 1 Chronicles 4:10

To break from the shame we can only turn to Jesus. Jabez turned to God, that it may not grieve me!. There is fervour in the exclamation point in the prayer as well. He needed the blessing to counter the curse in his life. Sometimes it is the people who are closest to us who hold us in our past. They hold us in bondage to the past. It shows unforgiveness. 

The heart or posture of the man is genuine. He was honourable and still asked God, to keep him from evil. It proved that he was not self righteous. To enlarge his coast is not about property but about reach and influence. Who would believe or listen to a drug addict or a murderer? But for God working in your life, you can reach others with your story. 

Jabez had a story and by God's grace he received a manifestation of God in his life. He received a testimony. When Jabez asked to have the hand of God on his life he was committing his day and everything to God. 

And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: Genesis 12:2

Jabez understood the covenant God had with the children of Israel. He reminded God of this covenant and believed God for it. Only God can completely turn your circumstances around. If Jabez were to walk out of the alignment of God's will then he would not have had the blessings. sometimes we have to check to make sure we are in alignment. In fact prayer has to be according to the will of God.

He must have felt lost, alone, betrayed and hopeless. Hearing his name called was a daily reminder of something he caused but had no control of. So many of us are born into generational curses. We have to live with the mistakes of others. His posture was not one of offence or unforgiveness. He chose to deal with changing the situation. He was not thinking of getting back at his mother or hunting down or hurting those who reminded him of his pain. 

I pray you are free from your past, your environment, guilt and shame. I pray you stay in covenant and alignment with The Holy Spirit and receive your blessings to turn around your story to a powerful testimony in Jesus name. 

Dear Heavenly Father,

I ask you to forgive my sins in knowledge or ignorance. Please forgive me. I accept Jesus as my Saviour. I ask that Jesus comes into my life as I live to be a witness for Him. Please change my life and make me into the person you want me to be. Guide me in these times so I can be used by you to help others in Jesus name I pray. Thank you Father.

I AM A CHOSEN PEOPLE

    Many people resent or cannot accept that Israel has a special place in God's heart. Many Christians do not understand the relationship and come up with unscriptural explanations. One such is known as replacement theory. It is a diabolical concept that has snuck into our church and teaching.

Grafting Olive Trees article

The theory revolves around the Christian church replacing the Jews as God's people (you can read more on this)  However, Romans 11:17 clearly says we are adopted or grafted into the family:

And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 

We are grafted into the main tree. John 15:1, I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. In the time of Jesus there were the Messianic Jews. They expected a Messiah and thought the Messiah would be a conquering king or a prophet of old returning. 

To become a Messianic Jew was simple. They had to believe not convert to Judaism. They did not even have to be circumcised as the Pharisees wanted. They simply professed belief in the Messiah who turned out to be Jesus. This was another phase of development as a Messianic Jew.

Eventually the Messianic Jews who were the precursors to Christianity died out and those who were grafted or adopted in, remained. But this was not through lineage but by faith. Soon I will write more on this. Needless to say, Christianity grew and the Messianic Jews were forgotten to some extent.

In a strict sense God is God and it is about God. If God says jump we jump. If He says don't do something we don't do it. If God says He will prove Himself by using Israel then who am I to argue? It will do us well to agree with Him. If God calls the Jews His people, we ought to call them His people too. We were adopted and are one with them.

We should not be jealous siblings because there is a lot that is required of anyone who is called His people. We should pray for Israel because all eyes will be on them and God's judgement will be on them first. Even Paul said this, to the Jew first.

In other words Israel is used as an example over time. We can trace an example over thousands of years to learn about our God. We cannot know Him in a few years, a lifetime or a hundred years. We can see more and understand more of Him over thousands of years and eternity.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. Hosea 4:6 

Then I said, "They are only the poor; they have played the fool, for they do not know the way of the LORD, the justice of their God." Jeremiah 5:4 

The issue is not that Israel is special, although the relationship with God, makes it special, but that God chose them. Those who are chosen are called by Him. The Jews are called to keep the laws. That is no easy task. However, we are all called. We see God's covenant operating and manifesting through them. Similarly we want to see the New Testament Covenant operate in our Christianity and Jesus manifest in us.

to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Thessalonians 2:14

We are called through grace. Acts 9:15-16 tells us Paul was a chosen vessel by Jesus to go to the Gentiles, kings, and Jews and that he would have to suffer for Him. We too. We were commanded or commissioned to go into the world and preach the gospel. 

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matthew 28:19-20

You also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 2:5

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy. 1 Peter 2: 9-10 

I pray that you are called and chosen by the mighty hand of God. I pray you find your place in the kingdom of God and are grafted in, in Jesus name.

Dear Heavenly Father,

I ask you to forgive my sins in knowledge or ignorance. Please forgive me. I accept Jesus as my Saviour. I ask that Jesus comes into my life as I live to be a witness for Him. Please change my life and make me into the person you want me to be. Guide me in these times so I can be used by you to help others in Jesus name I pray. Thank you Father.

DON’T LOSE YOUR INHERITANCE

There is a proverb that a hungry man is an angry man. Not everyone can deal with hunger. I once got angry and irritated because I was hungry and tired. I was surprised at my own response. However, I have learnt to deal with it over the years. Hunger does make people behave strangely. 

Some people have medical problems like diabetes. I once saw a man walk straight into a glass door because he missed breakfast. Diabetes caused him to get confused. Thank God he was not hurt and received the medical attention he needed. Hunger can cause life changing experiences like losing an inheritance.

I have been meditating on the account of Jacob and Esau. Esau was a Hunter and he was good too. Isaac ate what he caught. On a particular day it would seem Esau was not successful. He did trust his brother and his brother took advantage of him. Esau was easy prey as he did not see the value in what he had. He took it all for granted.

Now Jacob cooked a stew; and Esau came in from the field, and he was weary. And Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am weary.” Therefore his name was called Edom.

But Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright as of this day.”

And Esau said, “Look, I am about to die; so what is this birthright to me?” Then Jacob said, “Swear to me as of this day.”

So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.And Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils; then he ate and drank, arose, and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright. Genesis 25:29-34

Firstly, Esau showed contempt for his birthright. He did not value the things of God. It is God who determines the firstborn and the system which has been continued and affirmed by God through covenant. God's covenant is with Abraham, Jacob and Isaac. It came to Jacob by default. It would have been a continued covenant with Esau. But Esau did not value it and practically slapped God in the face.

As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. Romans 9:13

Esau valued the carnal, or things of the flesh. His appetite is not simply about food, it represents the desires of the flesh. He was controlled by it. As Christians we should not be like Esau. As heirs to the throne we as believers have an inheritance. We are blessed by faith through Abraham. Same faith gives us access to the inheritance as the promise of the Spirit.

That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Galatians 3:14

For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. Galatians 3:18

The promise is the covenant. What is the covenant? The word comes from the word 'cut' in Hebrew. It is a binding agreement with a common goal and sealed in blood. In our case it is sealed in the perfect pure blood of Jesus. He was the sacrificial lamb 'cut' or killed. The Old Testament covenant involved the sacrifice of animals. 

The Old Testament covenants are similar to a marriage covenant as it involves the killing of an animal. This again prepares us for the New Testament as the bride of Christ is the church and Jesus is the bridegroom. 

There are five covenants in the Bible; the Noahic Covenant (Genesis 9), the Abrahamic Covenant (Genesis 15-17), the Mosaic Covenant (Exodus 19:5), the Davidic Covenant (2 Samuel 7:13), and the New Covenant (Hebrews 9:15). 

In Deuteronomy 7:9, Psalm 103:17-18 we find that the covenant is about love, love for God and obedience. Obedience is better than sacrifice 1 Samuel 15:22. The culmination of all things will be the marriage covenant Revelations 21:3;  

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

I pray you do not slap God in the face. I pray you make a covenant with God to ensure your place at the marriage feast in Jesus name. 

Dear Heavenly Father,

I ask you to forgive my sins in knowledge or ignorance. Please forgive me. I accept Jesus as my Saviour. I ask that Jesus comes into my life as I live to be a witness for Him. Please change my life and make me into the person you want me to be. Guide me in these times so I can be used by you to help others in Jesus name I pray. Thank you Father.
