(Isaiah 55:8,9)

***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Dear Lord, please be with the families who have lost loved ones from Hurricane Florence as well as those who have lost their homes, businesses, and have had their lives turned upside down. I ask that you be with them in a special way during this difficult time as you strengthen and comfort them. Guide them through this time of turmoil and give them your peace and blessings as they move forward. We ask this in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus...AMEN!

I have preached a message over the years called, "The Right Question." It is a message you need today because everyone comes to that place in life when they ask, "Why God?" I can't tell you how many times over the last 25 years of ministry I've been with people at a funeral, in a hospital room, in a counseling session, and inevitably the same question always gets asked, "Why, why is God allowing this to happen?" "Why is this happening?" "Why doesn't God care?" "Why doesn'...

(Psalm 139:13-15, Jeremiah 1:4-5)

***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Dear Lord, help me to get through this day and the challenges that I will be facing today. Guide me, strengthen me, and give me wisdom as I make choices throughout this day. Please watch over my family and those I love in this world, and keep them safe. I love you Lord, and depend upon you each moment of each day. Bless me as I go through the day, living my life for your glory. In the name of Jesus I pray...AMEN!

A week ago Sunday on the eve of the vote to send the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the entire Senate for confirmation, a woman surfaced making the accusation that Judge Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her while they were both in High School 36 years ago.

Let me say up front that over the 19+ years of Liveprayer, I have sadly had to deal with the sexual assault of women AND MEN many times every week. It is one of the sad realities of this fallen world and regardless the severity ...

(Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8)

***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Dear Lord, I ask you today to open my heart and my Spirit to receive what you have for me today. Let me hear Your voice clearly and obediently follow You. Use me oh Lord, for your glory and to advance Your Kingdom! In the name of Jesus...AMEN!!!

Immutable is one of those $5 theological words that describes an attribute of God. It is one of those attributes that allows us to keep our faith and trust in Him daily. It simply means "without change". That is why we can boldly say the same God who brought you through the storm 3 months ago, is the same God who will bring you through the storm today. He doesn't change!

That is why we can have confidence each day that God loves us. He doesn't change. It is the fact that God never changes that gives us the ability to go to 1 John 1:9 when we sin and KNOW that He will forgive us and cleanse us. Part of the foundation of our faith is this wonderful truth that GOD ...

(Romans 8:5-8)

***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Dear Lord, please help us to wake up as a nation before it is too late. We have squandered your blessings, taken advantage of your love and grace, and deserve your wrath. Please oh Lord, be merciful for a few more hours and give your undeserving people one last chance to repent of our sins and turn our hearts and lives back to you. In the name of Jesus I pray...AMEN!

One of the most incredible challenges we have each day in our Christian journey, is what controls us. The ultimate goal of every believer is to be controlled at all times by the Spirit of God, instead of the spirit of this world. It is when we are controlled by the Lord that we are able to fulfill our purpose in life, enjoy the peace, joy, and abundance of this life, and know God�s richest blessings.

When we allow ourselves to be controlled by the things of this world we distance ourselves from the Lord. Whatever pleasure we enjoy are temporary followed ...

(Matthew 15:9; 1 Timothy 1:7, 4:1-2, 6:3; 2 Timothy 4:3; Colossians 2:8)

***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER: Dear Lord, give me your strength to stand for your Truth no matter what the cost. It is easy to call myself a follower of Jesus, but when confronted, when challenged, when faced with persecution, will I still say I am a follower of Jesus? I love you Lord and ask for your strength so no matter what I have to endure for my faith, I will stand firm. In the name of Jesus I pray...AMEN!!!

Wanda Eileen Barzee is a name from the past that has been back in the news recently. If you are not familiar with that name, let me tell you who Barzee is, since she is a player in the REAL story of the Elizabeth Smart kidnapping from the year 2002. I say the REAL story since I was one of only a few in the mainstream media at that time trying to help people understand what this kidnapping was really all about. Needless to say, it was a very unpopular explanation of this tragic event, but ...

***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER: Dear Lord, I ask you today to open my heart and my Spirit to receive what you have for me today. Let me hear Your voice clearly and obediently follow You. Use me oh Lord, for your glory and to advance Your Kingdom! In the name of Jesus...AMEN!!!

"Pastor" Rob Bell can draw big crowds, sell tons of books, and rake in millions by proliferating the universalistic lie from the pits of hell that EVERYONE will get to Heaven. Bell was once an evangelical pastor who decided many years ago that there was no hell, despite the fact the Bible says there is, and like so many heretics moved easily into telling people to not worry, EVERYONE will go to Heaven!

It is not surprising since Bell is one of the founders of the emerging church marketing strategy. That along with disgraced Willow Creek founder Bill Hybels' seeker movement, Rick Warren's purpose driven movement, these are little more than man-made marketing strategies ...

***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER: Dear Lord, help me to get through this day and the challenges that I will be facing today. Guide me, strengthen me, and give me wisdom as I make choices throughout this day.

***JUDGE KAVANAUGH AND SESAME STREET! As I deal in the Daily Devotional today with this insane issue of gender identity regarding children, it was announced that two of Sesame Street's main characters, Bert and Ernie...are gay! 15 years ago I wrote a Daily Devotional on the "gay lie being told to your children." It was a warning to parents how the pro-homosexual lobby in this nation was targeting children as young as the first grade, promoting that homosexuality is a perfectly normal choice and the lie from ...
