Men have the appearance of intelligence.  I mean I look at another and expect a love of God to reside behind that face.  But that is so rarely the case.

Offer everything from pornography to religion and you’ll likely spark a conversation.  But mention Jesus and you’ll get a chance to examine the back of their head.

Men have the appearance of holy potential.  But that potential will not allow room for self.

Man will not take a steady diet of good words.  It is a fact not an accusation.  The appetite for what is good resides in the Holy Spirit.  As often as we live there we desire what is his. 

What room we place the Gospel in matters greatly.  Each one of us has many rooms; past, present, future, important, lies, life, death, and many more.  Where do you keep your copy of the Gospel?

Lord Jesus, you know I want to come home.  But not my will but yours be done.   Please allow me to speak.  I know you know these things Lord, but for the sake of my brothers and sisters please allow me and help me to speak.

It is sickening, fearsome and depressing to watch the wicked prosper.  It is equally sickening, fearsome and depressing to watch my brothers and sisters try to ignore this prosperity.  But you have seen this before Lord.

The prosperity of the wicked will not find it’s end until all doubt is erased regarding its intent.  This wickedness thrives on pride and greed.  It considers it an insult to be ignored and dishonored.  And so it must increase it’s vulgarity and violence.

You have told us that they will kill your two witnesses.  And then they will celebrate by giving each other gifts.  But before then they will become immensely wicked.  And they will be spured on by the silence of the righteous.

I have seen enough to sicken me.  Yet there is vastly more to come.  I testify to these things.  I have come from wickedness to serve you.  So I personally know that wickedness has no bounds nor end.  It does what it can get away with.  But I also know the people will not speak out against it.  Just as they did not speak out in your favor for fear of the jews.  So it is, so it will be.

Lord Jesus ,I will work with gladness enduring what may come.  But in my soul I fear tiredness.  For already I want to come home.  Please strengthen your servant.
