(Genesis 12:1-3; Matthew 9:9)

***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Dear Lord, this nation is being warned of Your coming judgment for our sin, wickedness, and rebellion. Help me to be courageous as I stand for You in these perilous times. Use me as a beacon of Your light in the darkness of our world today. Though our enemies surround us, the world around me curses You, help me to stand for Your Truth that will ultimately defeat the lies of satan. May the evil of this world become so apparent, people will begin to bow their knee to You in repentance knowing YOU are their only hope and only answer! In the name of Jesus…AMEN!!!

***THE DAILY LIVEPRAYER TV NUGGET: 2020 will be remembered as the year free speech was crushed, and communist stype censorship became part of our landscape! The country China, with apx. 1.4 BILLION people over an incredible land mass, controls 100% of the content their people can access, and even has a record of what each individual accesses! . The
people of Iran are rising up against those in power. That evil government has literally killed at least 1,000 protesters we know of. In an effort to control their population, the government of Iran is not literally turning off the internet so nobody outside of the government can access the net. Russia now has the capabilities to censor what website their people can access. Why does this matter to people in the United States with the incredible freedoms we enjoy? Please don’t be so naive to not realize the freedoms you enjoy today can be taken away from you tomorrow, YES EVEN IN THE UNITED STATES! Also, over 50% of the people in the US now get their news and info from the internet. Not TV, not radio, not by print…FROM THE INTERNET. That percentage is only going to grow as the years roll on. A huge percentage of our population 30 and under, get 100% of their news and information from social media sites and the internet. THE CENSORSHIP BY BIG TECH AND THE CORPORATE MEDIA IN! 2020
SHOULD CONCERN EVERY CHRISTIAN, SINCE TODAY IT IS POLITICAL SPEECH THEY DISAGREE WITH, TOMORROW IT WILL BE CHRISTIAN SPEECH THEY HATE!!! Due to the fact the largest percentage of the last two generations have never been to church, don’t grow up in homes that have a faith tradition, their thoughts from childhood and what they believe as the get older are being shaped largely by the news and information they are getting from social media and the internet! The ability for Christians to reach the lost and hurting masses with the Truth of God’s Word and the hope and love of Jesus is getting more difficult. We know that even as I speak, social media sites can censor whatever they want, and target specific words. What happens when they target the words Christian, Jesus, Bible, church? What happens if we at some point get an administration that for “national security reasons” decides to restrict access to what website people can access? Those who follow Liveprayer know I don! ’t traffic in
conspiracy theories, in fear-mongering. Government restrictions on access of the internet, censoring of content EXISTS TODAY. Now more than ever we need to press forward each day to insure we reach those who are lost and without the hope of Christ in their life. The ease we once were able to do that is starting to erode very fast!!!

Every day people ask us to do things for them. Family members, friends, co-workers, often total strangers ask us to do something for them. In the course of our daily lives, the people that mean the most to us will ask us to do something special for them. It may be a parent or a sibling, it may be our spouse, it may be a very close friend, or it could be someone that we look up to and respect like our boss or pastor. All throughout our life people ask us to do things for them, and we do our best to do what they ask.

What about when God asks you to something for Him? Why are we able to do things for others but not for God? I have often wondered how many God called to do the job that Abraham did. Human beings have not changed since the Garden of Eden. Knowing that fact, I have no doubt that God called many men before He called Abraham who said yes to God.

Likewise, when Jesus called Matthew to follow Him, how many before Matthe! w said
no? Throughout history we have men and women that God called to do great things for the Kingdom. I often wonder who God may have called to do that work, but turned God down.

Some of the most disappointing times in my life have been those when God was calling me to do something for Him and I said no. I was too busy. It wasn’t the right time. I had MY SCHEDULE and what God was asking me to do didn’t fit in. God really didn’t need me, He would find someone else. There are a million excuses that we can come up to basically tell God NO.

In looking back now, how could I have ever said no to God? This is GOD!!! The creator of the Heavens and the earth. MY CREATOR!!! God Himself came to me and said, ”Bill, will you do something for me?” and I said, NO! If a complete stranger came up to me and asked me to do something for them, as long as it was not something outrageous I would most likely do it. Yet, I tell God no???

I love you and care about you so much. The s! ad reality is
that when we say no to God, we are the one that loses. God blesses us for our obedience. When we say no to God we miss our blessing. Our purpose in this life is to serve and glorify Him. When we say no to God, we are not fulfilling our purpose.

The greatest calling we have in this life is what God asks us to do for Him. When we say no to God, we miss our calling. The reality is, when we say no to God, He calls someone else to do what He asked us to do. Someone else is answering the call of God on their life, fulfilling their purpose and receiving the blessing we could have had. The work of God does not stop because we say no to God. It simply goes on without us.

I will be praying for you today. As I say, often, we only get one shot at life. This is it. MAKE IT COUNT! The fact is, God has a Divine plan and purpose for each one of us. Our purpose in this life is to serve and glorify Him with our lives. There is nothing greater that we can do with our life than to s! erve our
God. It is an honor and a privilege that He gives us to work for Him. In faithfully and obediently serving God, we are blessed beyond all that we could ever ask or think.

MAKE YOUR LIFE COUNT BY DOING SOMETHING GREAT FOR GOD! Before Abraham, Matthew, Billy Graham, or anyone else that God has used could do great things for God, they first had to say yes when He called them. God is speaking to YOU today. He is asking you to do something for Him. SAY YES TO GOD!!!

In His love and service,

Your friend and brother in Christ,
