Oh Lord, what a time we are living in right now. Things have become outright crazy, even in all around the world. It seems that the number of cases and deaths for the coronavirus is not decreasing anytime soon, which is causing many people to become fearful of it. As for me and other Christians, we have nothing to fear, for You are our protector in the storms and trials of life. We know that this life is vapor, and after it is all over, we will be with You, God, in the heavens above. People may be fearing the worst during this pandemic, but I am at peace, as I rest in Your holy presence. No matter if times get worse and a vaccine of some sort comes out, that involves a microchip, I will not be one to get it. The devil may showcase this vaccine as a remedy to the situation, but I know that to get the mark of the beast is also forgoing my salvation. Therefore, I will stand tall, while living out my faith till the end, even if times get harder. I also pray that others will also not give up their beliefs, just to be able to find temporary safety and satisfaction in what seems like in these trying times that we live in. Lord, if this is really the time of the great tribulation, I know that things are not going to get any better. Even soon, You will come to this earth with Your holy angels with fire and a sword. The wicked will see the wrath of God first hand and wished that they would have repented and not given into the beast before they are destroyed. Lord, no matter what lies before me, I will march forth in serving You. Even if Christians are tested, even to being killed, I will allow this to happen, for I know it is better to die for You, then to die in unbelief. This life was never supposed to be easy, but with You on our side, we can bear all the burdens that the devil wants to throw upon us. The truth is, I am safe because You are with me. I trust in You, Jesus. I love, Lord. Amen.

Revelation 13:15-17
Revelation 13:15-17 (KJV)
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Today’s Inspiration (03/31/2020)
The mark of the beast is coming around the corner. Stand tall, as Christians, and don’t let the world deceive you into getting it.
The Coronavirus And The Mark Of The Beast
Don’t allow the world to fool you into doing something stupid. If you are marked and then you die, then you will be kneeling in fear before God in judgment.
Today’s Prayer (03/30/2020)
Oh Lord, I pray that people will see the severity of what they have been looking at on the internet, apps, movies, TV Shows, and in magazines. There is no hiding what we do in Your sight. People can dance around the issue of walking in darkness for many years, but this will only cause them to fear You in death. For they had their time to get themselves right with You, while in this life, but they wasted their opportunity. I can just imagine the type of guilt that would be upon them come judgment day. Just thinking about the number of people in this state of mind, come death, makes me very sad. Lord, I know that pornography is destroying lives and is leading millions of people to hell. Therefore, I pray for a change of heart and mind in the lives of every person in this evil predicament. May these individuals decide once and for all that this addiction is wicked and repent. Our lives are like a vapor and no one knows the time or day that we will die. Therefore, people need to know that You can save them. Even from their evil and vial circumstances, You can help them come out of it. Lord, You did a mighty work in my life, and now I have been set free from the grips of the devil. Even Your blood has covered me and I am now forgiven. Thank You, Lord. With this newfound freedom in You, I just hope that people will see the light in me, and be driven to follow You. I wouldn’t be a man of God if I was to keep You to myself. So it is my desire to open my mouth and share the gospel with anyone that will listen. I know that You can set anybody free from the bondage of sin, and lead them on the path of righteousness. If I am different now, anybody can be. Thank You. I love You, Jesus. Amen.
1 Peter 2:11,12
1 Peter 2:11,12 (KJV)
11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
Today’s Inspiration (03/30/2020)

Pornography Is Giving In To Our Lust
There is a reason why I tell you that you need Jesus in your life. The reason is that Jesus died for your sins and there is forgiveness and life eternal because of the cross and resurrection.
Today’s Prayer (03/29/2020)
Oh Lord, I pray that people will remember You at all times. It is when we start doing our own things, that we end up going after what the flesh desires and fall flat into sexual sins. Lord, I know how easy it is to start looking at pornography after hanging out with the wrong people, watching the wrong kinds of shows or movies, listening to the kinds of music, and surfing for the wrong kinds of things on the internet. It was in these dark times my life that I did not have any defense to temptation. As I was tempted, my flesh was weak, and therefore I fell for the devil’s schemes. Sure, in the moment my sexual pleasures were fulfilled, but afterword’s did I always feel filthy. Even my guilt was awakened into being very shameful. So I learned that what I was experiencing was not right. Thankfully You came to my rescue and lifted me out of such evil and vial things. I never felt right being around my wife while I was committing adultery in my heart towards these other women. However, now my heart is different now. You have cleansed me of all my sins, and I have a fresh new outlook on life and other things. Even my heart and mind have been purified, and I can now look at my wife the way I should. You have taught me that women ought to be respected and not looked at as an object of our wicked imagination. Thank You, Lord. I am so grateful that You released me from the evil spirits that had me bound in my adulterous and pornographic ways. I had no way to defend myself in the past, but now I have Your armor in my life to defend me. I can walk in Your righteousness and not have to worry about willfully sinning any longer. I love Your ways more than anything else, and this is what is different now. I trust in You, God. Thank You for helping me become the man of God that I am today. I love You, Lord. I give You praise and honor, this day and forever. Amen.
2 Chronicles 11:21-23

21 And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and threescore daughters.)
22 And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him king.
23 And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fenced city: and he gave them victual in abundance. And he desired many wives.

Rehoboam Fell Into Sexual Sin
There was a problem with Rehoboam, even the same issue that Solomon dealt with, which was fornication and adultery.
Today’s Prayer (03/28/2020)
Oh Lord, I pray for this country and the elections to come. I know that there is currently peace upon the land in the USA, where Christian rights are respected, but I know that this can be changed in the blink of an eye if a wicked president comes into power. Thank You, Lord, for all that Trump has done so far in his presidency. I am grateful that he has stood up against abortion and has been working on changing abortion laws in states. Keep giving him wisdom, oh Lord, and may he act upon the counsel he is given from you. I know that all things will work out for the good of all the people if this happens. It is wonderful that he has listened to people’s needs and not just inflicted different laws and punishments upon us, in order to make things more difficult. How wonderful it is to see a stimulus check coming to people around the USA because of the coronavirus. This is amazing to hear, Lord, and is going to bless many people’s lives. Many people, including myself, are going through hard times financially, because of job loss, and we need Your help. Our government is doing what it can to help us, but we need Your peace to sustain us each day of our lives. Give us wisdom in these times of fear, because of this virus outbreak. Cause people to trust in You even more than ever now, and I know that more people will come together in the faith. This life is short, and we don’t know the time of Your return. Therefore, we come humbly before You in worship and praise. We repent of our sins, that we may be made whole in Your sight. Have mercy upon us, God. Help us walk in Your light all the remaining days of our lives. And when the upcoming elections come around, may we all make the correct decisions in who we put next in power. I wish people would continue to trust in Trump, but it is up to them to decide this. Lend us your counsel as well in this matter, and help us vote correctly. I love You, Lord. Amen.
2 Chronicles 10:6-8
2 Chronicles 10:6-8 (KJV)
6 And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?
7 And they spake unto him, saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.
8 But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him.
Today’s Inspiration (03/28/2020)

Today’s Prayer (03/27/2020)
Oh Lord, thank You for bringing me out of a life of sin, that I might see what is most important in life. I know that throughout my life and even now it has not been smooth sailing, especially with my job situation and financial issues, but every day that I seek You, I am rich, indeed. Life has been a journey, and I am at peace because You are leading me by the hand. Continue to be with me Lord, for I am so empty without You in my life. I don’t need to find ways to be rich in the world, for I have found all the riches I need in You. You are the fountain that I come to drink from, for there is wisdom and knowledge found therein. Feed me each day that I seek Your hand. I am ready to feast on whatever You have for my life. Lead me, Lord. Help me know how to handle life, especially when it is hard. All I desire is to find the necessary wisdom that will help my journey in life. It is my prayer that as I am walking throughout this life, that You build me up with Your armor. Help me not fall victim to temptation, but keep me upright in Your righteousness. Pour into me Your holiness, that I may walk as You walked while on earth, Jesus. People may not like the things I say and do, but if You are leading me in that, then I am happy. Your peace helps me overcome all fear. Therefore, open my mouth and fill it with the words to speak. Help people understand that all wisdom comes from You. People can accomplish great things in the world’s eyes on their own, but they can do extraordinary things when they trust in You. You take what we have already thought of and take it to the next level. Even things we would have never thought of before, You set our minds on. Thank You, Lord. I trust in You, God. I love You. Amen.
2 Chronicles 9:7,8
2 Chronicles 9:7,8 (KJV)
7 Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom.

Seek God’s Wisdom, Not The World’s
In the days of Solomon, people came from a variety of different countries just to meet him in Jerusalem.
Today’s Prayer (03/26/2020)
Oh Lord, my God, I come to You, this day, in honor and praise. I glorify You Lord, and exalt You above all things heaven and earth. You are worthy! Thank You, Jesus, for all that You have done for me, and for all mankind. Because You came down to this earth as the promised Messiah, this whole world is different now. All the sacrificial offerings have stopped because You became the last sacrifice for sin on the cross. Things that led up to this day were prophesied of and fulfilled with Your birth, Your ministry, Your death on the cross, and Your resurrection. Everything was set in motion, even in perfect harmony, through Your will and mighty power. I pray that people will come to know and never forget what You did for us on the cross. If people would just remember You and then walk in Your ways, would they know that there is power in Your Name. People would find out that You are waiting for them to simply humble themselves before You, then would You open their eyes to the unseen world. Even in prayer, would You direct their paths. Even seeking You would bring them great joy in this life. Lord, we don’t have to struggle in our sins, for if people would submit themselves to You, then You would help break those chains that have them bound. Even all our addictions would be a thing of the past, as people begin to follow You with their whole hearts. I am so grateful to not be in bondage of sin any longer. I am set free because of Your great love and mercy for my life. Therefore, all I want to do now is declare the Name of Jesus to everyone around me. You are the reason why I live my life, and I want everyone to know that if I can change, they can also. Repentance is not a burden but delivers us so much peace and comfort in the end. Thank You for forgiving me and for setting me on the path of righteousness. I love You, God. Amen.
Colossians 2:13,14
Colossians 2:13,14 (KJV)
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Today’s Inspiration (03/26/2020)

A Shadow Of Things To Come With Christ
If you want to know exactly what Jesus did for us on the cross, know that it is spelled out for us all throughout the Bible, even in the Old and New testaments.
Today’s Prayer (03/25/2020)
Oh Lord, thank You for making it known to us how this virus outbreak and other pestilences can be distinguished. The Bible is clear that we must all humble ourselves before You. Then, will people begin to trust in You and pray. Even people will start to seek Your face every day of the week and make You their God. Then, will people forsake their sins and come unto You fully. Lord, please make this known to all people throughout the world. People are very fearful of the coronavirus when there is a cure in plain sight. Do people not know that You are more powerful than all things? Do they not know that You can cause pestilences to fall upon the people, because of the wickedness of this land, and also remove it? Unfortunately, I know that we are in the last days and that You are coming soon. So I pray that Christians from around the world will come together and do these four things, as You have stated. Which is to humble ourselves, pray, seek Your face, and to turn from our wicked ways. As people do this, they will see Your hand in their lives. The wicked may continue to be fearful, but as believers, we will continue to be glad, even in these dark times. People may be staying home right now because of the warnings from our local governors, presidents, kings, and magistrates, but while they have this time off, it would be great if they would begin to do as You have said to us. As for me, I will continue to serve You, Lord. Wherever You will call me, I will go and serve You. I will not stand down, for You are my strength. I am shielded as I go out and do Your work that You have set before me. I love You, Lord. Amen.
2 Chronicles 7:12-14
2 Chronicles 7:12-14 (KJV)
12 And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.
13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Today’s Inspiration (03/25/2020)
The cure to the coronavirus is for people to humble themselves, pray, seek God’s face, and to turn from their wicked ways.
A Warning From God And How He Will Heal Our Land
As God was speaking to Solomon, he gave him a stern warning about his life and this temple, which was built unto the Lord.
Today’s Prayer (03/24/2020)
Oh Lord, I love and praise You this day and forever. You are the God of the heavens and I exalt You. You are the rock upon which I stand, and I have nothing to fear because You are with me. Thank You for the opening the heavens at Your resurrection, Jesus. It may have been a need to pray towards Jerusalem for a time because of the house of the Lord, but the veil has been torn since then by Your mighty hand. Access to the holy of holies, or where You dwelled, is for us all now. Thank You, Lord. Thank You for also allowing every believer to be grafted into Your fold. It is a privilege to be adopted in and have You as my Father, God. I don’t have to worry about being alone any longer, for You are always with me. Just as a Father cares for his children on earth, You continually open the heavens and pour out Your blessings upon me. I know that I am not perfect, but strive to dwell in Your holiness. Even if I fall, You are right there to catch me, so that I do not willfully sin. Lord, I pray that more people will come to know You as I have. If people would just understand that You, Jesus, is the son of God, and Lord God of all, then they would be saved. However, the Muslims only believe that You are a prophet, so their faith is lacking. And Lord, the Jews still think the Messiah is coming, which I wish I could declare to them all that You have already come and died for their sins in the flesh. Their king has already reigned upon this earth supreme, of which You are now dwelling on high in the heavens. I know that one day You will return, in order to show Yourself to the children of Israel and to every believer. Even people of every cult and false religion will bow down before You. People will be fearful in that day, but those that are saved will be glad. I am so happy to know You, Lord, and to be walking on the right path which leads to heaven. I love You, God. Amen.
2 Chronicles 6:21-23
2 Chronicles 6:21-23 (KJV)
21 Hearken therefore unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive.
22 If a man sin against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house;
23 Then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.
Today’s Inspiration (03/24/2020)
What is important is that we pray to God. There is no need to be in a certain place or pray in a certain direction any longer.
