I have a present and future fervent prayer. From the depths of my being, I fervently plead: No more missed opportunities, Lord, I pray.
I am leaning on these New Testament words: The earnest prayer of a righteous man has great power and wonderful results. -- James 5:16 (NLT)
I don't want these Old Testament words becoming reality in my lifetime: The harvest is finished; the summer is over, and we are not saved. -- Jeremiah 8:20 (NLT)
God forbid! Yes, I fervently plead and repeat over-and-over: No more missed opportunities, Lord, I pray.
IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.

Refused to Rest?
I recently read a line in a book written by a Messianic Jewish author. It wasn't my book, so I cannot retrace the author's name but I have not forgotten the line:
In the beginning God created Paradise, but the man and the woman refused to rest.
Refused to rest? How sad is that!
Lord, you say in Luke's Gospel that "the Kingdom of God is now within us." Sounds an awful lot like Paradise to me. Lord, help me to live in the atmosphere of Your Holiness. I want one of the undeniable proofs of Paradise within me to be that I don't refuse to rest in You. After all, if Your Kingdom is really within me, and I believe it really is, then surely You are my King meaning You are both resident and president within me. You have recreated Your Paradise within me. Let it never be said of me, ever again, that I refused to rest in Your Paradise. Lord forgive. Lord forbid. Your Name is Faithful. My name is Grateful. I'm exhaling NOW! Amen.
Luke 17:20-21 (NIV) -- (20) Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, (21) nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is within you."
IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.

Return to God and Keep Waiting For Him!
Lord forgive us for running off ahead of You and Lord forbid that we would continue to do so.
(15) The Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says, “Only in returning to me and waiting for me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength. But you would have none of it.
(16) You said, ‘No, we will get our help from Egypt. They will give us swift horses for riding into battle.’ But the only swiftness you are going to see is the swiftness of your enemies chasing you!
(17) One of them will chase a thousand of you. Five of them will make all of you flee. You will be left like a lonely flagpole on a distant mountaintop.”
Isaiah 30:15-17 (NLT)
ALL JOY!
