America - we need the Lord. Now.

He alone is our help and our salvation.

July 4, 2017

In this special edition of Now Think On This, my heart years for the salvation of the Lord coming to our USA, this United States of America. 

From the beginning, this vast, rich-in-provision land, first given to the First Nations (formerly known as the American Indians), and then the Puritans, the Pilgrims, the Jews, Catholics, plus many forsaken people from many nations looking for a new start and safety, has been set aside for His purposes.

This beautiful land, a mighty blessing, and a haven for many from far and wide, was then purposed and built upon by a people brought together by the Lord Himself, our Father God.

This is the land in which our Founding Fathers gave their lives, resources, and established, using sound, biblical values to form a government - that which our US Constitution is based.

This is the land...O God bless our land!...as we repent of our sins, turn from our wicked ways, and seek the Living God of Israel; the same God who inspired and moved on hearts of men and women to come to America.

Today, and every day, let us seek the Lord's face; let us pray like we have never prayed before; let us give thanks that we are still standing, still being a beacon of light in the darkness.

O Lord we cry out to You! 

O Lord, come and heal our land that You have given to us!

We need the Lord more than ever. He alone is our help and our salvation.

With all my love for Jesus and His purposes,

Now think on this,

Why 1 Iranian Muslim Is Now Following Christ - JIM DENISON CHARISMA NEWS

Why 1 Iranian Muslim Is Now Following Christ

5:00PM EST 11/10/2015 JIM DENISON  charisma news

Silas is a 25-year-old Iranian convert to Christianity now living in Berlin.

Why did he come to Christ?

After studying his Muslim faith, "what I concluded is that Islam was a big lie that a lot of people were falling for."

Then a friend loaned him a copy of God's Word. "When I started to read the Bible, it changed me. ... At first, I didn't want to be a Christian, I just wanted to understand it. But the more answers I got, the more I ... realized I was finding God."

Silas is one of thousands of refugees to Germany who are converting from Islam to Christianity. According to NPR, one reason is that they are then granted asylum, since they would be persecuted as Christians if they returned home. But a pastor who ministers to many says they face significant persecution from Muslims in Germany if they convert. He interviews all who profess faith in Christ and baptizes only those he believes are sincere. 

Silas is among them—he says that even if he were to be deported back to Iran, he would never give up his faith in Christ. Jesus changed his life, and he will pay any price to serve him now.

Our world needs what Jesus can do, more than ever. Consider these headlines: According to administration officials, President Obama now believes that Israelis and Palestinians will not enact a peace agreement before he leaves office. Reports indicate that mustard gas has been used in Syria, most likely by ISIS. After the crash of a Russian plane in the Sinai, the U.S. has enhanced security for flights from foreign airports.

I experienced these security measures personally last weekend when I returned from leading a study tour of Greece and Turkey. Everywhere we went, we followed in the footsteps of Paul the apostle. As we celebrated his powerful legacy, I wondered how we can make the same impact today.

Paul's effectiveness didn't come from his appearance. According to the Acts of Paul and Thecla (ca. A.D. 200), the apostle was "a man small in size, bald-headed, bandy-legged, well-built, with eyebrows meeting, rather long-nosed." Nor was eloquence his secret. Paul was clearly a genius, but he did not seek to impress others with his brilliance (1 Corinthians 2:4). 

Rather, his secret was his purpose: "For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified" (1 Cor. 2:2). When we know Christ and make him known, he works through us to transform those we influence. 

I often speak of becoming "culture-changing Christians." However, as I followed the footsteps of Paul, I realized that there is really no such thing. Christians cannot change the culture. Human words cannot change human hearts. But Jesus can.

Oswald Chambers: "The Christian worker has to be a sacramental 'go-between,' to be so identified with his Lord and the reality of his Redemption that he can continually bring his creating life through him. ... We have to see that we are in such living sympathy with God that as we proclaim his truth he can create in souls the things which he alone can do."

Jesus changed Silas. He changed me. If He is your Lord, you know that He changed you. Have you asked him to "bring his creating life" through you today?

JAMES NESBIT - New Art Releases: Protector of Justice and Angel of Rescue

Share Tweet Forward Multiplied blessings to you and yours! We haven’t communicated in a while as we have been on the road – what a wonderful year we have had!  We just completed the Blue Journey assignment in Kansas City, and the night we were there they had turned the waters blue in celebration of the Royals being in the playoffs; what a way to complete the journey! We had a tremendous breakthrough among the Pueblo in New Mexico as we worshipped on the reservation there. We were hosted by our dear friend Holly Kingsbury, and we are looking forward to worshipping on several reservations next year; our 2016 calendar is pretty busy already, we will we release our 2016 schedule soon. We are releasing two prints at once – they are so connected we felt it important to do so. In December 2014, I created an image called Cover Me which depicted an angel watching over our troops. Our law enforcement officers have been under siege by those advancing lawlessness masquerading as protest for justice, and our fire and rescue teams have been taxed to the limit with all the fires out west – these two images are created in their honor.

We are proud to introduce Protector of Justice and Angel of Rescue to honor those who have given their lives to protect and serve in such toxic times.  To purchase these images, click on them and you will be redirected to our website. Shalom, James
