GOD WEEPS!

God weeps! I believe God weeps when he looks over this world and sees the chaos, hurt, anger, prejudice, evil and all the other horrors that are taking place!

Jesus lamented over Jerusalem shortly before His crucifixion. I think this verse sounds like He may have been teared up!

Luke 13:34 (KJV)
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!

How often would we keep our children or others from much pain and hurt if they would listen to us. If they would understand that we want the best for them. How often we may hurt because we understand that the choices they are making will lead them in the wrong direction.

And how often we see that those we are trying to help think that they know what they want and that they know best.

This was the situation when Jesus stood and looked down upon Jerusalem and declared that He wanted to gather them under His wings and protect them and fight for them, but they would not listen, they would not come to Him!

We were created in the likeness of God the Father. We were created with the ability to choose. We have a will and we can choose our paths. We are not robots that are programed to do exactly right but are created uniquely and with great destiny.

I have heard the statement many times: “Why would God allow……..” or “Where was God when….”!

We, as a society, have pushed God out of our government, our schools, our businesses, and even sometimes our churches and yet when evil causes destruction and havoc, we want to know where God was.

God is here, God is weeping as we make our choices to leave Him out of our lives and our world or at least put Him on the back burner!

May I tell you today that we are the hands and feet of Jesus in this world and if we will spread the good news by our lives and our words, God can begin a revolution in those around us.

YES! We absolutely have broadcasting and ministries that are doing everything they can and reaching out with the Word and Love of God!

We have men and women who have dedicated themselves to sharing the Gospel around the world and thank God for them!

But what about the men and women who are working hard to support their family and doing what they can to be a good person? Can they make a difference?

Absolutely! If you will come under the wings of the Almighty God and allow His Love and Care to flow through you, lives can be affected that no evangelist or pastor or broadcast could ever reach.

Jesus declared that for those who come to Him, He would be in them and live through them!

John 15:5 (KJV)
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

However! When we are abiding in Him and He is abiding in us we can make a difference in the lives around us and we can usher His Kingdom to come to this earth.

Jesus taught the disciples to pray: “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven!”

May I ask you to begin to pray this declaration for yourself, your family, your church, your state, your country and your world!!

We can make a difference and our prayers can make a difference all over this world that has seemingly gone crazy!

Determine today, that from this moment on you are going to come to Jesus, let him gather you as a hen gathers her chicks and protects and loves them.

Determine today that from that position you are going to begin to bring HIS KINGDOM TO EARTH, through your prayers and your daily walk!!

Father God, Creator of the Universe, My Lord God Almighty, I come to you and snuggle up under your wings and am safe. I decree and declare in the name that is above all names, the name of Jesus, that YOUR KINGDOM IS COMING, YOUR WILL IS BEING DONE, ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN! In the name of Jesus, I push back evil from my family, my church, my country, my world. In the name of Jesus, I declare for each person reading this, that their minds, hearts, and wills are turned toward you. Forgive us when we cause you to weep, Father God, because we will not come to you! Fill each of us with the knowledge of your Love and I decree and declare that we walk in that Love! Amen

I love each of you and If I could make life perfect I would! Have an awesome week!
