Hello this is another message that I shared recently with my prayer ladies. Please pray on your own this week for your children and grandchildren using the MIP theme “God guards”. The prayer sheet link is attached below. Another way that God guards us is by giving us warnings as we study the Bible and alerts us to what is happening in our society. I was so surprised to learn from a recent NJ news article that sexually transmitted diseases went up in 2020 in our state! I thought at the height of the Covid pandemic, people would have abstained from casual sex. It also reported that 15-24 age group’s STD rates were higher than 2019 numbers.

1. As I was thinking about all the great injustice and wars that are happening simultaneously throughout the world; I wondered how long the war in Ukraine will continue. It is really, truly remarkable that they have held up for so long against a great military giant like Russia. I believe it’s because there are many people in and from Ukraine who are believers of Jesus Christ and they are praying and fasting nonstop. Today is day 52 of their war. If you have a burden to pray for Ukraine, please visit these resources:

I generally don’t know what to do with prophetic words. I occasionally hear some famous ones and ponder their words. A well-known prophet said that this decade will be a decade of “intercession without intermission”. Since March 2020 when the pandemic lockdown started in our country, my community and prayer groups have been meeting and praying together nonstop. I haven’t even taken a break during my summers. I doubt I will take a break this summer too. Please look for and be rooted in a community group in a Bible-based and Jesus-seeking church body. Give and serve the church body where the Holy Spirit has you planted in. As you give and serve, Jesus Christ will provide and protect you and your family members too; even if they don’t want Jesus. Look at me – I give, serve and seek alone. It is not easy; it is actually very, very difficult. I’ve survived this long by filling my mind with God’s word, looking forward to heaven, and keeping an eternal perspective.

As I continue to see more and more that our culture is becoming like the “days of Noah”, I realize how critical it is to know our Bible. There are too many well-meaning Christians who are biblically illiterate. They are all very smart people with higher education too. I pray and hope that the Holy Spirit will keep on using me to sound the alarm in our affluent communities. I recently shared these resources with my prayer group ladies for self-studying. I hope these help you too.

Dr. Tony Evans has a whole series about prayer in March podcast. All prayers are heard but prayers are not answered due to lack of knowledge and obedience on meeting God’s terms. We can change that. Please listen for your wisdom, understanding and power in prayer. https://www.oneplace.com/ministries/the-alternative/listen/
