Daily Devotional for Sunday May 3, 2015

God is Still on the Throne

(1 Kings 22:19)

***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Dear Lord, please help me to find your peace and joy in this coming weekend. I need a break from the battles, from the challenges of daily life, and want to simply find your rest in the coming days. Help me to re-charge and be prepared to get back to facing all of the challenges life brings my way when the new week unfolds, but over this weekend, give me your perfect peace. In the name of Jesus I pray...AMEN!

Probably one of the things that comforts me more than anything else during a problem or crisis, is the fact that God is still on His throne. He didn?t get off to take a nap, go watch sports, or hit the refrigerator. He is there, in total control of all that is going on. That, of course, begs the question, "Why does He allow terrible things to happen if He is really on the throne?"

Remember, God does not cause evil or encourage it but does allow it to happen as He did in the case of Job. It was only with God?s permission that the devil was able to do what he did to Job. Why does God allow bad things to happen? Men much wiser than I can argue that one but I do know one day God will wipe away all sin and evil from this world.

That leads me to the great verse that assures us God will not give us more than we can bear. He knows our breaking point. These two truths, God is in control at all times and He will never give me more than I can bear, get me through the difficult times in life.

Many of you are facing difficulties in your life today. Unexplained problems. Circumstances that seem to be out of hand. Pressures that are becoming intolerable. Now is the very time to make your faith real. Look to God and ask Him to strengthen you, to encourage you, and give you peace. He knows how to make the heavy burdens lighter and the crooked paths straight. Don?t become weak when the difficult times come. Be strengthened by them. Let them be times of testing, honing, and sharpening your faith.

I love you deeply and care about you. I realize that life can be difficult. I also realize that in those difficult times, we can grow in our faith, learn to depend on God, and become real people of faith. Let the difficult times help you to know God in a deeper, more intimate way. Learn to trust the Truth that He is on His throne in control of all things. Take to heart His promise that He will not give you more than you can bear. Learn how to walk through the storms of life victoriously. Be comforted that He will never leave you, never forsake you, and never let you down.

For those of you who are in need of a miracle, don?t forget to stop by our Miracle Center on my website at www.liveprayer.com. We have had incredible testimonies of healing, restored marriages, and financial blessings over the years. I will be praying for you today. Whatever you are facing, never forget this truth. God is on His throne and God is in Control!!!

***GOD IS GREAT!!! The last piece of our plan to lead this nation back to God and His Truth has been having the Liveprayer TV program that we pioneered from 2003-2008 on major secular stations and networks back on the air. After having the Liveprayer TV program back on the air "live" every Monday-Friday from Mid-2am EDT for 2 years this May, over 1 year this past February in the Chicagoland market of 10 million people, we have finalized plans for the program to be in national syndication this coming January!!!

This monthly syndication deal will pay the ministry enough each month to cover ALL of our monthly operations costs, and as the program grows, would give us the financial resources to secure a large, visible platform in the marketplace to proclaim the Truth of God's Word that other than through our efforts over the years, has been either void of or filled with weak and watered-down representations of His Truth!

TO INSURE WE COVER OUR FINANCIAL OPERATIONS FOR THE BALANCE OF THE YEAR, I AM SEEKING 300 PEOPLE TO MAKE A 9 MONTH COMMITMENT STARTING THIS MONTH OF APRIL. I AM ASKING 265 PEOPLE TO COMMIT TO HELP LIVEPRAYER WITH A MONTHLY GIFT OF $100 THIS MONTH THROUGH DECEMBER, 30 PEOPLE TO COMMIT TO HELP LIVEPRAYER WITH A MONTHLY GIFT OF $,1000 THIS MONTH THROUGH DECEMBER, AND 5 PEOPLE WHO WILL COMMIT TO HELP LIVEPRAYER WITH A MONTHLY GIFT OF $2,000 THIS MONTH THROUGH DECEMBER.
