Pray for Families (Rise up!)


Dearest Prayer Warriors,

We are all called to action.  Are you ready?  Is your family? Are you actively living out your faith? Seeking to learn?  Reading spiritual books?  Praying often?  Are you on fire, lukewarm, or icy in your faith?

Recently I was reading about St. Frances of Rome, a mystic who received descriptive visions of hell.  She learned in her visions, that of all the fallen angels who were sent to hell, one-third had freely followed Lucifer, while the other two-thirds never took sides during the celestial battle and because of their silence, they were banished from heaven! 

“I know your works; I know that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either cold or hot.  So, because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.  Rev 3:15-16

Reenergize your faith, your prayer life, and your witness of the Truth.  Let His light shine from within, so that when others see you, they know you are a child of God. 

For this reason, I remind you to stir into flame the gift of God that you have through the imposition of my hands. For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather of power and love and self-control. 2 Timothy 1:6-7

Arise! Shine, for your light has come, the glory of the LORD has dawned upon you.  Though darkness covers the earth, and thick clouds, the peoples, upon you the LORD will dawn, and over you his glory will be seen.  Isaiah 60: 1-2

Be a light in the darkness for a child of God.  Pray for all of God’s family.

Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet

Warm up your spiritual life.  Pass it on.
