This lil Prayer

~HortenseInspiration 

GOOD MORNING. Today, I feel like sharing a certain prayer I often say. Maybe, it could help someone in the same shoes. This lil prayer has become my favorite plea to God for zipping my mouth shut. Sometimes, there is TOO MUCH temptation spinning everywhere to ignore. Oh! Our waggling tongues! Humanity is a trip.

Especially since the madness called "Secular Christian"  [Secularism] forcefully invaded Christendom, and turned multitudes of God loving believers into idol loving worshippers and hate-filled panhandlers. Being an Anti-Christ Believer without realizing one has become that.

Satan is rejoicing every day at how easy it was for the devil to twist good minds and infect healthy hearts with all types of his evil, life-destroying venom. Deadly upon first hit.

Often, one does not see the needle until it pricks the skin and you feel it. That tiny sting means you're done--mentality smeared. Thought processes seared. Justifications run amok.
I know, one might think of this messaging as kind of harsh. It isn't. Not at all. For you, read Holy Bible Jeremiah 17:9-10. Do you see yourself in it?! I sure do. Certainly, I see myself in there. But for grace . . . There go I. Repent. We must all repent. Fast.

Here's the prayer I repeat often when it is difficult to keep quiet at the preposterous nature of humanity today. In another world cookspoon and fufu stick would be useful in returning common sense to many heads! One guava switch and rattan would be closed behind. You know what I mean! Africa oh Africa. The Liberian way! And the famous, "You better pass from before me." Aye Africa!
Anyway . . .

Here goes. I like to share good news. This is my lil prayer I repeat when I see "crazy" trying hard to make me roll my eyes or cut my eye or not zip my mouth fast enough. Hortense! But for grace.  JESUS to the rescue. Lord have mercy on me. Lord have mercy on you. Lord have mercy on all of us.

If it's okay for you, let's pray this together:
"Holy Spirit, please help me to not disgrace God."
Keep praying because God listens.

Sending much love and God's amazing peace in Christ Jesus to steer your day and calm your nerves.

Keep the good fright of faith. 99% of what you see is for the purpose of DISTRACTION from your real purpose: Eternity with Almighty God the Heavenly Father and King Jesus Christ our Lord.
Remember, as a believer you are a soldier in the Army of the Lord. If you keep aligning with the obvious side, which obviously align with SatanDevilLucifer, you are not being useful to Almighty God. ELOHIM cannot depend on you.

Oh! One more thing. Take stock of your behavior, actions, reactions, silence; your life, today. Turn around and face the one who calls you to step out the boat and walk on the water to meet him. Do not look around or else you shall drown. Step ahead and walk atop the seas of confusion. With Christ in your gaze you will find clarity. Clarity renews your original purpose. Clarity!

The LORD GOD bless you more. Keep praying. And read your Bible.  Before we part for now, pray with me, again:
"Holy Spirit, please help me to Not Disgrace God."

Lovingly,
~Servant Hortense 

Late Night Wipes

 Please do not forget to keep Night Watch. After talking to God listen for the Holy Spirit. Blessings!

. . . My friend. Good night or good morning. It is 3:45 a.m., at my end.
I have prayed. I have discussed with Jesus. I have reported myself to God. I have told the true side of the story, not only my side. I have asked the Holy Spirit to "Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me." And you? Have you prayed?

Here is one certainty I know. The flesh in me [flesh man] is at war with the spirit in me [spirit man]. Human nature is always at war with the Divine nature inherent in our human bodies. Whenever you pray always ask the LORD to clean your heart. Ask Jesus to scrub your heart until you feel and speak the shine of a new heart bursting out of your chest and mind and straight through your mouth. Words!

Christ Jesus has a potent soap called the Blood of Jesus. It has superlative cleaning power. The Blood of Jesus cleanse, rinse, disinfect, sanitize and shine character. Whatever pinesol, lysol, chlorox, palmolive, ivory spring, tide soap, and all these fancy detergent or cheap cleaners can do to dirt, the Blood can do a billion times more and stronger to your heart. Human hearts carry tons of stored dirt. We pile it on daily. Perhaps, without knowing we do. We do. Whether we admit it or not. Dirt piles up in your heart.

Bad heart, also know as wickedness or a person that is evil or deranged or depraved. Bad heart, also known as jealousy or hatred or lying tongue or deceit. Bad heart, also known as envy or strife or unforgiving. Bad heart, also known as rebellion, disobedience, selfish, transgression, unrepentant, sinful lifestyle, blasphemy. Bad heart, also known as operating against Almighty God and His way: what is right in Almighty God's sight [Christ Jesus standard].

Somewhere in the listings above I can be found. Therefore, my prayer begins and ends with pleading:
"God please clean me up, O Lord. Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit deep in me, immediately replacing any wrong spirit sneaking up in my person. I do not trust myself, Lord. Please search my heart for yourself and strip me naked before your laser beam. Search every crevice of my heart and remove any hiding evil from inside of me. You have my permission to renew a right spirit within me. I want to see you in person and spend eternity with God. Do not throw me away Lord because of my heart. Cast me not away from your presence and please do not take your Holy Spirit from me. Clean me up, Jesus so I can exist in You Lord."

No shame here. I know how to beg God to fix me as to Jesus liking. I am so good that I know I am bad. I am such a good person that I know how sinfully bad I am and need God to handle me. And you? Are you good? What does Jesus say about that? My friend, you are bad. We are all in the same sorry boat. I am bad but God sees me as good. I am good enough for God because of the righteousness of Christ in me. When God looks at bad me he sees only good Jesus. Allow Christ to renew a right[eous] spirit within you while he creates a sparkling clean, shiny heart inside you.

My friend. Pray for yourself. No shame no shy. Ask God to do what only God can do with this thing called flesh. You are not that saved that heart is afraid of you. Heart, according to God, is Deceitful and DESPERATELY Wicked. God himself ask, "who can know it?" This means nobody except God ELOHIM being the Omniscient he is can know a person's heart. Even you do not know what your own heart is capable of being and doing. On any given day. This is serious. Extremely serious.

My friend. Unless we repent, all of us will likewise perish. Unless you repent you will go to Hell. Unless we are aware that we are sinners in need of Jesus. Without salvation, the devil Satan will easily convince you that you are good as you are and nothing needs to change in your heart. That's a big L I E. 

Read for yourself: Jeremiah 17:9 in the Holy Bible. God's WORD is truth. Absolutely Truth is the Word of God.

My friend. I am about to pray. I'm praying for myself first. Next I will pray intercession. We have to interceed for the whole crazy shindig of a world, and all of the madness SDL SatanDevilLucifer is spraying over earth realm. There is hope for the entire world.
THANK GOD FOR CHRIST JESUS.

I only wanted to say good night or good morning. Get up and Pray!

Will You Live Past Tonight

. . . Are you certain? If you were to meet Jesus Christ at this moment, will you go to Heaven? It is 3:30 a.m (EST) and many are in the throes of sweet sleep.

Should your life on earth cease immediately are you ready to face the Almighty Judge for the verdict  of your time spent in Earth?

Should you never wake up tomorrow morning in the physical realm,  are you prepared to meet Christ Jesus?

Can your present state "I am a Christian" save you from Hell and eternal separation from GOD the Father? Have you rejected a life of sin? And transgressions and inquity. Are you hot? Cold? Lukewarm? Which exactly are you!

Whatever your state. RUN TO JESUS. This one thing is certain: CHRIST JESUS can SAVE you today. Come to the LORD just as You are.

Contrary to what many are gambling with, there is no amount of God's amazing grace that could deliver Heaven to an unrepentant sinner. Almighty God is a judge. Almighty God hates sin. God's amazing grace is not a "compromising" grace. God's grace does not compromise with unconfessed and unrepentant sin.

The enemy Satan has cast a net called "sudden death" upon the Earth. Many are counted to be caught in it. It is manifest as "died"  in your sleep. It is manifest as "heart attacks" galore. It is manifest as "tragic accidents". It is manifest as inferno ("fiery" incidents). It is manifest as "ghastly" accidents. It is manifest as "domestic" disputes quickly turned violent.

The enemy Satan has escalated his three fold ministry: Steal; Kill; Destroy. You are next in line to be tried, attacked, lured by the Devil. Are you prepared to stand in the Lord's strength. "The soul that sinneth it shall die." Satan knows this Bible verse. And the Devil is no fool, he knows the Bible more than we mortals do. Satan is from everlasting. Satan will remain your chief torment on this Earth.

Satan's ministry is to convert you to his kingdom. Legions of Demonic entitles and Evil spirits are assigned to enforce Satan's ministry upon you. The Devil is a Master of Deception. The Devil is the Father of Lies. Man[kind] is his prey, his most desirable target.

Obviously, Satan will package complicated lies and offer this construct as God's Truth to a dumbed down Believer. Would you recognize this? But I digress . . .

The Heavenly Court is forever in session. What will your verdict be?

The Holy Spirit is saying, many are professing Christ Jesus yet remain  unsaved and continue a deceptive life of rejecting Salvation? Many are closet followers of Satan by their deeds done in secret. Emotions are telling you one story and your soul is dying from it's own story. Confusion is of the Devil. Many are lost and confused. Be not deceived by how you feel. Being SAVED is not about a feeling. Salvation is not an emotional subject. It is the summary of life. Your life.

If you died in your sleep and did not wake up at when day break un the morning, are you saved?

Will JESUS call you sheep? Will Jesus call you goat? Will You be admitted to everlasting life with God the Heavenly Father? Will You be rejected and face everlasting departure from the presence of the Heavenly Father?

The Holy Spirit is saying many are professing Christ Jesus yet they continue to be unsaved. Is this You?

TO BE CONTINUED . . .

P.S. Time to pause writing and get back to keeping Night Watch. Time have entered the 4th Watch hour. Let me get back to sending heavy fiery arrows into the atmosphere. I am backed by Throne Room Power of ELOHIM. I confess I AM Redeemed; Saved by The Blood of CHRIST JESUS. Hallelujah!

And you? My friend where stand you tonight? Get up and PRAY.

Hallelujah!  BEHOLD HE THAT KEEPETH Hortense DOES NOT SLUMBER NOR SLEEP. The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY is Hortense KEEPER.  H a l l e l u j a h AMEN.

Lovingly,
~Servant Hortense

WILL YOU LIVE PAST TONIGHT ~ HortenseInspiration

My Heart Oh

~ HortenseInspiration

. . . How is your heart condition so far? Since the previous diagnosis have things improved in the heart area? Bad heart destroys a good soul. It further disintegrates a joyful spirit. Check your heart today and observe the vital signs. Goodmorning my friend! Recheck.

Turn over the results to DOCTOR JESUS the Great Physician of the Earth Realm where flesh resides. Take the Salvation prescription CHRIST offered. In a miraculous instant you shall be made whole. In one tiny split second your heart condition shall be restored to perfect in Christ righteousness. Hallelujah! Case closed.

Choose the maintenance plan of Scripture reading God's Word every day.
Double dose on vitamins, like Psalms 51 and Isaiah 26:3 and John 3:16.
Take your brand "the Bible say" vitamins . . . Consume generously from the OTC (over the counter) forever in stock Biblical stash. Take freely! It is yours.

As we prepare for Thanksgiving Day USA in our side of town Global may I remind us all:
You only live once on this physical side of eternity called flesh. Life continues and you live forever in the spiritual realm of eternity.

Thanksgiving can be an artful habit of entering and remaining in ELOHIM eternal presence daily. Live joyously, with thanksgiving, for the blessed redemption Christ Jesus has lavished upon you. Be thankful! It is called gratitude. G-R-A-T-I-T-U-D-E.
Appreciate who Christ the Lord is and the power of the redemptive Blood of Jesus and his redeeming love.

Be thankful that God wants you to come just as you are, ugly warts and all. Leave the rest to THE LOVE OF God in CHRIST JESUS concerning YOU. Hallelujah!

Now go do your last minute food buying and prepping and start the eating process! Eating and thanking and praying and eating and thanking praying. Enjoying life and being grateful in abundance. Add a huge serving of Mac and cheese for me, yeah... I love Mac and cheese...plenty cheese ooo!!!

My friend. I love you, always, with thanksgiving, for the beautiful gem of a person that you are. Blessings galore!
