I desire in every place that men should pray.

These are words that the Apostle Paul penned in First Timothy, Chapter 2, verse 18. And he added these words also, "lift up holy hands without anger or disputing."

Paul is not just saying that we all should pray in every place that we are found. He is saying so much more than that. Beloved Paul is beautifully saying that when we pray, we as Believers, should have clean hands, and we should have clean hearts.

What is our lifestyle? What are we living out daily? I s it different from what is on display in our congregations?

Just what are men saying about us in the marketplace? Even Jesus asked of His disciples, "Who do men say that I am?"

Oh, my precious Sisters, who do men say that you are?

Do your lifestyles backup what you preach and teach? Are you standing up for Jesus, or are you lying down with Adam?

Are you really crucified with Christ?

Can you say with confidence and boldness the very same thing that Apostle Paul boldly professed:

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God Who loved me, and gave Himself for me . - Galatians 2:20

So as we earnestly participate in today’s National Day of Prayer , let us make sure our hands as well as our hearts are clean. For the Lord our God has said:

"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 thier sin, and heal their land." - 2 Chronicles 7:14

And oh my Father’s Beloved, how our land desperately needs healing!

Earnestly Praying,
