Heavenly Father, Jesus is the true vine, in which the life of every believer, as abiding branches, is hid. Abiding in Him, the believer is able to walk in purity of life, with Christ sharing in all the interests of his life, taking all burdens to Him, and drawing all wisdom and strength from Him. It is only the abiding life that bears fruit to the glory of You. Lord we who are children of the light, do not live as those who walk in the darkness. Instead You have shown us right from wrong, truth from error, and You have given us discernment to test the spirits to see that which is from You and that which is from the evil one. The foundations seem to be shaking as we are flooded with a tidal wave of twists and spins that seeks to confuse or demean the believer. We clothe ourselves daily with godly armor, both defensive and offensive weaponry since our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but rather the authorities from this world. Keep our souls untainted by the changing rhetoric and sliding standards from our decadent society as we stand against the spiritual forces of evil. May we not fluctuate but walk boldly in the conviction and power of the Holy Spirit today! We praise You Jesus and in Your name, we ask and thank. Amen.

Brother Jim, in this prayer, it came to my mind about the video I forward to you from Time Square Church Wednesday this week. "When the Holy Spirit Comes." Under persecution, we are to have joy, be happy in the Lord. Love you brother.
