Are you convicted? I am!

Today is Friday, July 07, 2023. It has been a very long week in the sense that it has been a difficult one. I only had 3 work days because I was off Monday and Tuesday for the holiday. I was grateful for that time to get some rest. The thing is I did not get much rest. My mind and heart will not allow it. These past few weeks have been hard. These past few months have been. Let's face it, the past year has been tremendously painful for our little portion of the USA. Alot is going on in our little small community. There was a murder right down the road from where I work. This never leaves my mind. It bothers me so much. It actually angers me greatly. I am mad at myself. I am disappointed in the church. This includes myself. I don’t understand how and why we have fallen away. How have we become so despondent and complacent? Are we truly so busy in our own lives that we have forgotten to mourn with our community? Have we become so preoccupied that we do not care because it did not happen in our immediate family? My heart aches for everyone involved in this tragedy, especially the victims family and friends. This is horrendous. Are we so calloused that we do not want answers or care about such wicked evil in our own backdoor? Where is our heart? Have we turned into robots so used to the everyday in and out of events programs and business of life that we do not give it a second thought? Are we so distracted by everything else that it is only another day? Of course there are others that have become obsessive and unhealthy through these events. Have we stopped to pray for our friends and loved ones, our community and the hurting sick and suffering? I know I am guilty of not praying near enough. Is there enough anymore? I feel like it is only getting worse. Yes this seems to be a gloomy negative post but we need to WAKE UP! Evil is everywhere. Our safe haven in the hills of Eastern Ky is gone. Sin has snagged us in its trap. Why haven't we gotten on our knees and called for major prayer to push the enemy back. Why haven't we gotten angry enough to CRY OUT TO GOD CONTINUALLY until we see change. I am calling for a FAST. We can take time out of our crazy busy schedules and pray for one another, for hearts to be open to repentance for everyone's hearts to be convicted from sin. PEOPLE we have to see something change here. I would be afraid to ask if people shed tears and if so how many? Out of sight out of mind! NO! I am appalled and truly burdened. I have to make myself eat. I have no appetite and haven’t in a long time. I can hardly sleep. My soul is grieving and my heart is broken. I am calling for us all to WAKE UP. I am picking up the WORD. Yes we all need to get in the word and truly stay there. Of course we read but not enough. We have to cry out to God for His help. He alone may turn this around. Where is the future for the next generation? America is fast dying. Without God we perish. We have to stand up and speak up. Please join me in fasting, praying and seeking God's face for we must have an awakening and we must see revival and a call to return to God.

John 13:34-36 “A new command I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.”

If you are not saved please know you need to be. God loves you and He sent His only Son to die for you. That huge void you feel is God sized and may only be satisfied through knowing Jesus. We are not promised the next minute and no one knows when it is their last breath.

John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
