"Mediation"

"They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is." (Psalms 38:20) As Jesus said that it would be like in the time of Noah, so shall these last days be that are upon us; yet, for the sake of the elect, these days will be shortened, because unless they were shortened, there would be none that should be saved. (Matthew 24) Understanding the times that we are living in could not be any easier than it is right now, for the majority of our children are being led by a system that denies God, and that confuses good with evil, and evil for good; is it any wonder that so many of our churches are taking on new standards and practices that go against God's laws, because His law is being replaced by the law of the land. It breaks my heart to see those little hearts being turned from God, because unless their parents are fully committed to the Lord, then they are going to believe the lie over the truth, because the truth is really not being displayed in their homes. With all that is going wrong, there is still hope for those that might otherwise be lost, and it is called fervent prayer for those that are trapped in darkness, that God would reveal Himself to them, and that their hearts would be softened. It is God that must change a person's heart; it is God that must reveal Himself to them, by the power of His Holy Spirit; only then will they see what is Truth, and see their need for Jesus Christ is not based upon what they know about being a Christian, but is based upon their need for salvation. Once I understood the truth, then all the deception became apparent, and so it will be in their lives; but we need to pray for our children, because the battle is spiritual, not physical. All that said, when it comes to our own stumbling and falling short of being perfect, we have an adversary that would like to use those things against us; either by our own guilt, or being seen guilty by others, he will challenge our worthiness to be considered a child of God, and he will lessen our testimony of the gospel of Christ. If we truly are trying to follow after "the thing that Good is", then we are assured mediation before the Father, by none other than our Mediator, Christ Jesus... "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of Him that hath subjected the same in hope; because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God." (Romans 8:18-21)
