Christ in us does our worshiping and praying for us when we express a desire and allow the words to come, they are just not adequate. I am thankful that Christ in me knows exactly what we should pray, even knowing the desire of our heart that lines up with His desires.
John 17:20-23 (NASB)
20 “I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; 21 that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may [a]believe that You sent Me.
Their Future Glory
22 The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; 23 I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected [b]in unity, so that the world may [c]know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me."
Romans 8:26-27 " 26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words. 27 And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.…"

Waiting Somewhat Impatiently, Maranatha!
The Believers who are awaiting the rapture!
What should be our response as we move through this end times church age?
1 Peter 2 (NASB)
As Newborn Babes
2 Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander,
2 like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation,
3 if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.
As Living Stones
4 And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God,
5 you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
6 For this is contained in Scripture:
“Behold, I lay in Zion a choice stone, a precious corner stone,
And he who believes in Him will not be disappointed.”
7 This precious value, then, is for you who believe; but for those who disbelieve,
“The stone which the builders rejected,
This became the very corner stone,”
8 and,
“A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense”;
for they stumble because they are disobedient to the word, and to this doom they were also appointed.
9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
10 for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
11 Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul.
12 Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation."

Evolution the Lie of the Centuries
Evolution is far more "faith based" than Christianity. Christianity is based on solid physical evidence of a Creator God. Evolution is based on one man's idea of something that has no physical evidence, it is entirely faith based. The evolutionists manage to create false evidence, but it is easily refuted.
The Devil and His Thoughts
The devil places thoughts so intense that the mind believes they have been there when they never left their beds. Remember when the devil took Christ to the mountain and showed Him the kingdoms of the world, it was all in the mind.
Remember the alien abductions? Those are all demonic experiences so vivid and real that the people really believe they left their houses, but they never did.
Matthew 4:8-9 "8 Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 “All this I will give You,” he said, “if You will fall down and worship me.”…"

Damascus is Falling
My friend Carole sent this map in the comments, I thought it would be good to put it here for others to see.
Isaiah 17:1-2 "1 The oracle concerning Damascus. "Behold, Damascus is about to be removed from being a city And will become a fallen ruin. 2 "The cities of Aroer are forsaken; They will be for flocks to lie down in, And there will be no one to frighten them.…"

Going Home Soon!
For all you born again, Bible believing prophesy watchers, Damascus is about to become a ruinous heap just as prophesied.

America has Offended God
A dear friend shared this passage in an e-mail with me, I thought it was profound for our day, I felt led to share it here.
Perhaps it is possible that God is as angry with America and even the world, as He was during the time of Isaiah. If so, then we are in for some rough times.
Isaiah 65:1-7
"1 "I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me; I was found by those who did not seek me. To a nation that did not call on my name, I said, 'Here am I, here am I.'
2 All day long I have held out my hands to an obstinate people, who walk in ways not good, pursuing their own imaginations-
3 a people who continually provoke me to my very face, offering sacrifices in gardens and burning incense on altars of brick;
4 who sit among the graves and spend their nights keeping secret vigil; who eat the flesh of pigs, and whose pots hold broth of impure meat;
5 who say, 'Keep away; don't come near me, for I am too sacred for you!' Such people are smoke in my nostrils, a fire that keeps burning all day.
6 "See, it stands written before me: I will not keep silent but will pay back in full; I will pay it back into their laps-
7 both your sins and the sins of your ancestors," says the Lord. "Because they burned sacrifices on the mountains and defied me on the hills, I will measure into their laps the full payment for their former deeds."
