It’s one thing to point out sin and compromise among believers on social media.  It’s another thing to make a bold stand for truth and righteousness among real people.  It takes great courage to speak truth.  It takes significant skill to speak the truth in love. In this prayer we’re asking for the courage and the skill to be a bold witness among our relationships and loved ones.  Hosea was certainly a whistle blower among his people and it’s in the spirit of Hosea 8:1-8 that this prayer was crafted.

Prayer

Lord, give me the boldness to call Your backslidden children home.  I need a steel backbone to call wicked acts sin.  I need to see from Your perspective when self-proclaimed believers boldly proclaim, “We know the Lord,” but their lifestyle stays something totally different.  Don’t let me be deceived by their ambivalent lifestyle. This is nothing more than man made religion; it’s certainly not God initiated piety.  Let my life be a trumpet blast to truth.  A sharp contrast to their redefinition of truth.  Lord, make my life a point of reference to this disoriented people in Jesus name I pray, amen.

Hosea 8:1-6

“Put the trumpet to your lips!  An eagle is over the house of the Lord
because the people have broken my covenant and rebelled against my law. Israel cries out to me, ‘Our God, we acknowledge you!’ But Israel has rejected what is good; an enemy will pursue him. They set up kings without my consent; they choose princes without my approval. With their silver and gold they make idols for themselves to their own destruction. Samaria, throw out your calf-idol! My anger burns against them. How long will they be incapable of purity? They are from Israel!
This calf—a metalworker has made it; it is not God.It will be broken in pieces, that calf of Samaria.

Help Me Help People Grow!

Most people don’t know where to start growing spiritually. I can assure you the starting point is prayer and Bible reading. Still most people don’t know how or where to start.  Royal Perspectives is a great place to start.  My desire is to connect people to God by connecting them to the scriptures and prayer.  When one prays the Bible, they pray the perfect will of God. Praying the scriptures consistently will produce spiritual growth.

As people pray the written prayers, they catch prayer in their spirit.  When this happens people discover the God that saved them.
