Prophetess Mary Johnson-Gordon
THIS DAY:
WE ARE CALLED TO PRAY FOR ALL NATIONS, TRIBES AND PEOPLES!
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
But fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
Proverbs 1:7
OBSERVE: This Real-time/Present day, Airplane/In-flight Damascus-Road-Encounter Testimony of the LORD’S Presence and Desire to bring us back into Relationship with Him!
President Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines, who has unleashed epithets at President Obama and the Pope, and has killed thousands of people in his own country, said on Thursday that the voice of God told him to stop cursing (NY Times article by Daniel Victor, October 28, 2016). Duterte told reporters that on his flight home from Japan he heard the Voice of God. Everyone else was asleep and snoring when he heard the Voice say: “If you don’t stop cursing, I will bring this plane down now.” Duterte asked, “Who is this?” and ascertained that the Voice came from the Lord. Faced with a choice between cleaning up his language and killing everyone onboard with an unplanned dive into the Philippine Sea, he chose to stay alive and quickly promised to stop swearing. Then he declared: “A promise to God is a promise to the Filipino people.” Upon his arrival in Manila, he held an hour-long news conference and did not unleash a single bad word.
Death and Life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it will eat its fruit.
Proverbs 18:21 (NKJV)
INSIGHTS: The Fear of God (the respect, reverence and awe of His Sovereignty) convicts. So does the Fear of His Power and certainty of Judgment. When the President of the Philippines heard God’s Voice and was convicted to the point of compliance with God’s Command, he knew God’s Power and righteousness beyond any shadow of doubt.
HOW will God convict other world Leaders? Only He knows. Our position is on our knees thanking Him for His Mercy and His Love and lifting up our leaders to His Will and His Ways.
Psalm 67
God be merciful to us and bless us,
And cause His face to shine upon us, Selah
That Your way may be known on earth,
Your salvation among all nations.
Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.
Oh, let the nations be glad and sing for joy!
For You shall judge the people righteously,
And govern the nations on earth. Selah
Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.
Then the earth shall yield her increase;
God, our own God, shall bless us.
God shall bless us,
And all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.
