If everyone truly understood God's mercy there would be a continual praise in all the earth. God's mercy reaches out to the hungry, thirsty, lonely longing soul. His mercy reaches out to the fool that says in his heart there is no God. His mercy rescues those who think commerce and money satisfy the deepest longings of their souls. When God's people fully understand the tender mercies of God we will begin to cry, "God before your judgment comes let your mercy be known again!" God is stirring His church to stand between the living and the dead, and ask God to one more time to honor His name and save the lost. 

If we as Christian people are going to pray for mercy in our generation we must first be recipients of God's mercy. The more convinced we are of God's mercy the more we can pray with conviction. God's covenant mercy manifests itself in the salvation of our souls. When we embrace this wonderful salvation we can begin to pray, "God show the world your saving power, your covenant of mercy and your powerful protection." When God chooses to be merciful to a generation the devil is powerless and people are saved!

The fool says in his heart there is not an absolute sovereign God, and God does not have the right to govern our lives. The fool cannot see the work of God or the value of a soul. We can have all wisdom and knowledge and still reject the truth of God's Word. The wise man however, sees God above all that exists and allows His Word to begin to shape and mold the very fibers of our being. The wise man acknowledges that God chose us to display His justice and mercy in the earth so that the destitute would come to know there is a God who loves them. God's work in the earth is ALL ABOUT PEOPLE.

We are living in a time where many are professing a pursuit of God but in reality they are rejecting Him. Half hearted sacrifice will always produce a spiritual dullness. If we bring God a blind sacrifice we will be blinded. Before the Lord comes back He will send a word to us that will turn the people's focus from a self focus to a focus that is fixed on Jesus Christ. God will raise up a voice in this generation to clean things up. God is calling His church to bring the totality of our lives to Him for the betterment of humanity. Will you give all for the sake of this generation?

If God decides to chasten a nation because of their sins how should the church respond? We have to have a proper Holy Ghost view and not respond with or own zeal. The church must begin to plead to God to obtain mercy and grace. God judges sin in mercy and in His loving kindness will send forth His Spirit to renew the face of the earth. In these times of calamity, we as Christians must settle the issue, God is at work! The church of Jesus Christ shall prevail.

Ephesians 1:1-14 – Paul describes dramatic life altering realities. He does not argue dry doctrine or have unnecessary theological debates but simply tells his experience of being captured by God’s amazing grace.

If God chooses to be merciful to a people it is for an intended purpose. When we begin to live in compromise and unbelief we will end up dry, hopeless and cut off from the power of God. When God chooses to be merciful He will visit those in a valley of hopelessness, stripped of power and seemingly dead, and cause breath to enter them and they will rise an exceedingly great army. The logical end of mercy is a people standing and living for the glory of God. Mercy can and will begin to rewrite our life!

How many sermons do we need to hear before we simply take God at His Word? There comes a time that we can become gospel hardened because we don’t allow our heart to respond in faith to the Word of God. We are called to be living epistles read and known to all men. Now is the time to allow our lives to be an example of the faithfulness of God. It is time to let our family and those around us take notice because we have an unwavering faith in Jesus Christ. You may be the only Bible your neighbors will ever read.

Why is it important to know truth? What is truth? We know truth is a not something, it is someone. Jesus is truth. Knowing the truth gives us victory over the fiery darts of deception. The war against the devil is fought by the Holy Spirit within us. The Holy Spirit causes us to be intimately involved with the one who is truth. As we interact with the Holy Spirit He fights in us and through us. We cannot fight in our own strength. The Battle is the Lord's!
