They have their own intimate dining area. They have their own clean updated office. They have their own private parking space. They have their own trained paid staff. Their salary with benefits costs taxpayers a great price.
They have incredible power.
They have been elected into their position.
They are considered public servants.
They are Congress.
They have the worst approval rating by those that they serve.

Forgive Us God that We the Church can come across Congressional in our attitudes towards others and We act elected and proud, instead of elected and humble.
People see that attitude and give Jesus a low approval rating.
Forgive Us God that We the Church can become confined with a Prison Mentality and instead of suffering with grace; we suffer with disdain and victimization.
People see that mentality and give Jesus a low approval rating.
Forgive Us God that We the Church are to be servants like Jesus, but we tend to just consider serving when it’s convenient and comfortable. (1 Corinthians 4:1)
People see that “disconnect” and they give Jesus a low approval rating.
Maybe We forgot that We don’t need to have a trained paid staff, a clean updated office or even a car to park to serve those that desperately need His love.
Maybe We forgot that sometimes when We serve We can get physically dirty or We are in public AND that it costs Us a great price.
After all, Jesus’ crucifixion wasn’t clean, private or cheap.
Maybe We forgot that those We serve have already been appointed to Us.
Family. Friends. Neighbors. Employers.
Who just might be confined in prisons of doubt or despair.
Who just might be trapped in chambers of hopelessness.
And it’s required that We prove ourselves faithful. (1 Corinthians 4:2)
You are His elect. You are His appointed.
You have been entrusted with the key that unlocks prison doors.
You have His hope.
You have His anointing.
You have His power.
You get to serve.
Your family. Your spouse. Your kid.
Your parent. Your boss. Your friend.
Go and Do.
Jesus Did. Jesus Does and Will Do Thru You.
PRAISE: My health has greatly improved!!! I am beyond thankful to Jesus for His healing power. Thank you for praying for me, I have felt that! I went through a purification protocol and am able to say that my pain is gone! And I consider it a miracle!!!
PRAY FOR:
We met this week with Pastor Emilio from Cuba. He is the pastor of a mega church there, and is over 1,000 churches within his denomination. They are in desperate need for bibles. They have no access to the Internet. The government controls TV and radio. There is no Christian programming. We hope to go to Cuba in March to teach. Pray our visas get approved.
PRAY FOR:
We met with Pastor Manuel this week. Years ago, God gave him a vision to start a University that allows financially struggling pastors from economically poor areas to obtain a degree at a minimal cost. This University is now worldwide, and they have graduated over 70,000 pastors. Pray for the right opportunity for us to work with him in his continued vision.
PRAY FOR:
Continued new business opportunities and favor with prospects and clients.
We have a great staff right now and are grateful for them.
