When we stand
The vitriol being expressed in our nation against one another is tasteless and vile. Against the backdrop of the Mueller Report and the border security crisis, we have heard terrible things said about a fellow American, the same theme about anybody who disagrees with the vocal left. It is very difficult to discuss these matters of disagreement with business associates, friends and even family members because they usually end up in heated debates and things are said that shouldn't be said. We, as Christians, need to keep in mind the tenets of our faith when standing up for our principles-especially when we are doing so with family and fellow believers. Civility seems to be a lost art these days.
Often, I exhort you through The Daily Jot to pray and act, to speak up for what is right, and to hold accountability by speaking boldly as you ought to speak. But this can be a balancing act in these days. Speaking boldly, doesn't mean being offensive or trying to invoke anger. It doesn't mean reducing the argument to personal attacks. It takes wisdom, compassion, empathy, and the ability to express right in a dignified and effective manner. As the Apostle Paul writes in Ephesians 5:15-17, "See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is."
In short, we need to remember who we are when we are discussing issues of right vs wrong. We need to be armed with the facts and stick to them. Keep bringing the discussion back to the facts. Most people I have run into who want to argue a point about the current state of our nation know very little about the facts. Often what they do know is based on a simple fact, but twisted into a lie. Trying to unravel that lie with them is like untangling a pile of coat-hangers. It takes patience and focus on your point. The purpose of The Daily Jot is to equip and encourage you to evangelize. Evangelizing can take many forms. In our case, it takes the form of using a current event to present a Biblical truth.
Deception is always key. People are deceived and, like a virus, they spread deception. Ephesians 5:6-9, "Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things comes the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not therefore partakers with them. For you were sometimes darkness, but now you are light in the Lord: walk as children of light For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth." Christ has given us life that we may have it abundantly. We don't need to get dragged down into the depths of deceit and anger because we already have the high ground in Christ. We just need to share it appropriately toward one another.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Operation Restoration
BULLETIN!! PLEASE NOTE OUR NEW NUMBER AND ACCESS CODE:
712-770-5320
150411#
Once each week, on Sunday mornings and for 24 hours, join with others in OPERATION RESTORATION . . .
"Operation Restoration"
This initiative is based upon the Move of the Spirit that was launched last month during Operation Refiner's Fire. The LORD has shown us that He has used those fires to ignite the FIRE of the HOLY SPIRIT to visit our people, which He now yearns to keep burning among our people until the day of His return!
"Operation Restoration" is based on the promise of Scripture, recorded in
2 Chronicles 7:14,15.
It is written:
. . . "and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
"Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place."
This is a weekly Solemn Assembly, where saints can feel free to gather each Sunday, to offer prayers of repentance before our Lord, for the many sins our nation has committed before Him.
Abba so desires to hear our prayers . . . He is just waiting to heal us!
You can join us, any Sunday, beginning at 9:00 a.m. EST by calling:
712-770-5320
Access Code: 150411##
Each
week, our conference line for Operation Restoration will remain open until
Monday morning at 9:00 a.m.EST -- allowing for 24 hours of nonstop prayer
before our King of Kings, that He might, indeed, "heal our land."
Amen. Access Code: 150411##

Our Weekly Prayer Focus

For the week of April 14 - 20, 2019:
From the National Prayer Embassy, here is today's prayer alert
Every year at this time Christians worldwide celebrate Holy Week starting with Palm Sunday, Good Friday and finally Resurrection Sunday, also known as Easter. Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, when surrounded by praises to God, He took over the headquarters of His worst enemies, the religious leaders of His nation, who were pledged to kill him. This foreshadows Jesus' second coming, when surrounded by praises to God from His people, Jesus will return to take over the world despite all opposition. Revelation Chapter 19 shows a great multitude of God's people praising Jesus as He returns on a white horse leading the armies of heaven under the name of King of Kings and Lord of Lords. On the first Palm Sunday Jesus quoted Psalm Chapter 8 verse 2 which says in effect out of the mouth of babes and infants God has ordained praise to still the enemy. In recent years a worldwide movement has arisen emphasizing praise and worship among Christians, even 24/7. Many see this as God preparing the way of the Lord for Jesus' second coming.
1 Timothy Chapter 2 verses one through four exhort believers to pray for leaders with giving of thanks.
Let's pray about this today:
"Father God in heaven, we thank you for showing us the power of words and the power of praise and worship to usher in Your presence and prepare the way for Jesus' soon return. Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus! We thank You, Lord, for continuing to raise up a mighty movement of continuous praise, worship and prayer to You worldwide, in Jesus' name. Amen."
