Conclusion – Trust in the Lord

This last year, I’ve shared with you each and every day another aspect of prayer. The Lord had put on my heart to begin a daily prayer study on the different aspects of prayer and to conduct it each and every morning in 2021.

I’ve obeyed.

There were days when I did not feel like doing it. 

There were days when I may have been discouraged and wondering if anybody out there was listening.

There were days when I was busy.

There were days when I couldn’t wait to turn on the camera and microphone.

There were days when I couldn’t turn it OFF fast enough!

The point I’m trying to make is this…

Our job, not “my job” – but “OUR JOB” as believers and as children of “The Most High God,” is to pray and believe – and, most importantly, to OBEY.

When the Lord says, “Do this…” whatever “this” is or may be… it is our job to OBEY.

I learned that lesson many years ago with the radio station, “Evangelism Radio” (www.evangelismradio.com ). The success of the radio station astounded me. The format and layout and how it was all supposed to work was given to me by the Lord. And once we launched it, within two years, it was rated #1 in the world in the Christian Talk Genre by SHoutcast. com. 

I asked the Lord, “Why? Why me?” because I was getting invited to speak at churches about it, etc.  His response was, “You were not my first choice…” That shocked me… I felt offended at first… but then He continued and said, “You were simply the first to OBEY.”

I learned then, just like 1 Samuel 15:22, “To obey is better than sacrifice and to heed is better than the fat of lambs.”

So, there you have it, to OBEY what the Lord says to do is better than your offerings. You cannot just “give money” and hope that everything will turn out alright. You need to OBEY what the Lord tells you to do. You good intentions mean nothing when you are not doing what the Lord says…

This nation, at one time, was the most blessed and prosperous nation on the face of the earth and in the history of man kind. But no more. Why?

Because we left from following the Lord as our God. We left our first love. We stopped lifting up Biblical values and holding elected leaders accountable to God. Instead, we started worshipping THEM instead of demanding THEY worship God.

We have allowed secularism and every other kind of “ism” to have prominence over the Word of God and Christian values.

Is there any wonder why our inner cities are over run with crime, drugs, violence, murders and ghettos? Is it any wonder why the same politicians who promise to change the world do nothing once they are elected, except make the same promises to the same people over and over again. And then are elected over and over again – but yet nothing changes for the better but only gets worse?

This nation is on the verge of destruction. If we are not soon taken over by our external enemies, Russia or China, we will be destroyed from within by our own internal policies that lift up everything except Biblical values.

To me – I don’t care. I really don’t. I have my future secure with Christ. I’ve lived my life. As the Bible says in Psalm 37:25, “I was young and now I’m old and I’ve never seen the righteous abandoned or their children begging bread.”

Think about it… this nation is about to experience the most climatic destruction any nation on earth has ever witnessed. The devil is about to over play his hand. I don’t know if it will be through nuclear warfare or just simply the loss of the freedoms we have enjoyed for 240 years or so.  To me – it really doesn’t matter.

But, if YOU want to make a difference, your only hope MUST BE JESUS.  

Our scripture for today says it all.  Pray this prayer with me, IF you want to see the United States continue. If not – don’t. Again – “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 I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

I pray you received a lot out of this study during this year. But – I have some good news for you. It is going to continue into 2022 as well. I’ve decided to continue this study in prayer, but the name will be called, “Study in Prayer” instead of Prayer 2021.  Amen!

You don’t have to do anything special. The RSS Feed will still work. The website will be renamed “Study in Prayer,” but other than that, stick with me as we continue to bring you an encouraging Word from God each and every day in 2022. Amen!
