“This morning as I am sitting here praying and talking to the Lord..my mind and my heart goes towards thinking of them ones in my life that I have lost that maybe could’ve been prevented..Amen..ones that had overdosed..committed suicide..and even drunk driving..Amen..and I consider it all and at how much it is very serious even today these things and the people in our lives that are bound..that are on a road that is very shakey..that are in and out of jail..living on the street..and literally daily for some they see these people and they can see the death there before their own eyes..can see the lost soul that is there within them..the hurt..the pain..the addiction..the fear..the loneliness..Amen..and their frail bodies are merely fading away..and I think Lord what has happened to us all as a society and as being so hurt by these things that we merely watch and look and never reach out..and never speak up..even to the mere fact of just asking them can I pray with you..and reaching over and praying for them right there in the moment..Amen..because somehow I feel like our hearts have gotten maybe a smidge hardened..and we are not as sensitive to the fact of everything that is happening right before our own eyes..Amen!”

“But you know it is our responsibility to love on the hurting..to help those ones that are down cast and need deliverance..Amen..that need freedom in their lives..because no one just gets there in life..the enemy gets them bound..and he blinds them..and they are there daily in a prison..Amen..but as far some they are like I am not getting involved..it is not my problem..I have too much already on my plate..or some will say well they made their own bed so to speak now let them lay in it..Amen..but we must check ourselves..and we must pray and ask the Lord as His children to show us as Christians the err of our own ways?..Amen..and ask Him what it is that we need to do and what it is that we need to say?..Amen..because we cannot turn a deaf ear..and we cannot turn away from them ones that are hurting..you know Jesus went right up to them and delievred them in the moment..He set them free..and He said to us that greater works would we do..(John 14:12)..Amen..so just know we have too much to gain to lose..Amen..to many lives in danger..and real danger..to many people that we have loved very much and in whom we’ve lost way to early..Amen!”

“And many question Lord what could I had done differently..Amen..what should’ve been done differently..Amen..because this is the thing the wages of sin is death..(Romans 6:23)..and with that death it is both a natural and spiritual death..Amen..so look around and look with eyes of love as Jesus does and did for each of us..and even today He still yet comes and pursues us in our mess..in our sin..in our shortcomings..He never leaves us alone..so I pray we don’t leave the hurting alone..the drug addict alone..the lonely and depressed alone..if we see the need..we see the problem then let us do our best to help and fix it to the best of our ability..Amen..for the bible speaks a whole lot about us not having hardened hearts..(Hebrews 3:8/Psalms 95:7-10)..Amen..for we are to seek out the lost..and we are to help them..bind up the broken..strengthen them that are sick..(Ezekiel 34:16)..let us be as the good Samartian..as he journeyed he saw the man laying there..he had been beaten..attacked..stripped of his clothing and left half dead..and we all know the story how the priest passed him by..the Levite passed him over..but then a good Samartian came by and had pity on him..and took care of the man..(Luke 10:25-37)..Amen!”

“So my prayer is that we as well have compassion..and understanding..and that before we ever decide to make a judgement towards these ones that are bound up..that we know them..we hear them..and we ask them for their story in life..that we don’t assume this or that..but that we know facts more so than make believe of what we think or assume..because no one just happens to get this way in life..it is a daily giving themselves away..that they end up in a place they never dreamed they would be at in their lives..Amen..for they need help..they need love..and they need us and our prayers covering them and having pity and great understanding..not hardened hearts..and not attitude..and not merely an opinion..just love..Amen..for love is where we win..and love is where it’s at..for love covers a multitude of sin..(1 Peter 4:8)..and love is what sets them free..because God is love..(1 John 4:7-10)..Praise the Lord!”

“For it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤️
