THE ONE QUESTION



“And when the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison, and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth.  Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the seashore. 

“And they came up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured [consumed] them.  “And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

“And I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them.  And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds. … And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:7-11, 15

The people of the world are so clever and ‘woke’ today.  I suspect every generation has been proud of their advancements and inventions, how much better they are than other generations, how much more stuff they have and know.  Yet, all that means nothing. 

The only thing that matters is who YOU think Jesus is in YOUR life because if your name is not recorded in the Book of Life, the horror of the end is eternal torment and emptiness.

“Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He began asking His disciples, saying, ‘Who do people say that the Son of Man is?’  And they said, ‘Some say John the Baptist, and others Elijah, but still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’  He said to them, ‘But who do YOU say that I am?’” Matthew 16:13-15

Take care with love, especially His!  Your servant and friend in Christ, who still prays for you each morning. Darlene

For more information, I’m researching and pulling an overview of this for you at:  https://newsaboutcovid19.blogspot.com/

Please pray for the health care workers, those trying to contain the spread and most importantly those who contract the virus – that they are wise and take precautions to protect others.

o    11,781in critical condition
o    1,876 reported deaths (all in China except one each in The Philippines, Hong Kong, Taiwan and France)
  • Baby Jolie– 11 months old with meningitis and kidney failure.  Has been on dialysis and a respirator.  Her breathing tube now removed, and she is out of Intensive care.  However, they still MAY HAVE TO AMPUTATE her leg.  Please continue to pray her leg will be saved, her health carers to have wisdom and compassion, her parents to have patience and peace and that the Lord provides a miracle of healing for this child.  Family so grateful for all the prayers.
  • Savannah – 15-year-old granddaughter of Cliff and Beth, diagnosed with a difficult-to-treat, psychological disorder with potential serious consequences.  New meds seem to be helping.  She has a long recover ahead, but there is progress with this brain injury.  Pray for her attitude, wisdom for her health carers, patience for her parents and complete healing.
  • USA President Donald Trump – It is our responsibility as Christians to remember God has a plan through this man.  If you doubt the importance of his appointment, just look at how much antagonism there is against him.  Surely Satan is NOT happy and means to thwart God’s plan.  Pray someone helps President Trump understand the true meaning of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, that he will have a driving hunger to read God’s Word for himself and that God sends a Bible-believing Christian to regularly disciple him in the Truth and that God shuts the mouths of the false prophets who circle around him. 
  • Fred – is making plans to move from California to Tennessee in the first quarter of 2020.  Pray for his wise attention to details and stamina as he makes this life change.
  • Tracey – Pray Tracey finds a new role to satisfy her and allow her to grow and share her skills and wisdom.
  • Me – Please pray for the Lord to provide a new project for me and that my laptop can be fixed soon (if you receive the email version with the full prayer list, this is why the format is different.

PRAY FOR THOSE IN FULL-TIME SERVICE
