A break from lent ????

 Since the middle of last year, I have been praying over Duet 28 & 29.  Asking several questions. One is due to God not consistently answering prayer Heaven seems to be shut?  I am not saying God has not heard our prayer, but an appearance of God not answering prayer. Take a  look at how many people are without work as an example. Also since 1946 the Church has just kept up with population growth? In addition, I am concerned about the lack of relationship development with none Christians, which is hindering the decision/disciple growth rate of the Church.. Another issue is the divorce rate with in the Church All this gives the impression that there is no difference between us and none Christians. A false trust in the American political system rather than the Lord. Yes we use the full rights of citizens, yet our hope is only in the Lord.

 As well as  "Prophets" saying that it is OK to be wrong and creating a debate on who is right for marketing  reasons. An alot of us are dealing with health issues that we should not be dealing with. Note, I understand the American diet issue all to well.

As we now live.

When I look at the Good news of Jesus Christ, I find the Holy Spirit reminding me of three things during this time of Lent. They are Emanuel God is with us which we see this from the Birth of Christ to the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Another is that there are no limits to the authority we have in Christ. Yet trying to understand seasons and times, dealing with unanswered prayer, understanding Ps 95:8-14 and Acts 28:26 and Hebrews 1, warning us about the hardness of our/my heart. In addition, let’s look at John 13-16. This is important because as the disciples were trying to understand the message of the crucifixion; asking how this message relates to the hope of Israel, along with their personal lives. John explains the need peace, as well as the importance of the Holy Spirit in our lives. John goes on saying the Holy Spirit will bring things to our awareness, so that we can do greater works than what Jesus did. With Jesus speaking to us not leaving us alone. As well as, the importance of prayer and love for one another, finishing with how we have overcome this world
