From the Home Place

March 30, 2026

Today’s weather is very close to a duplicate of yesterday’s weather; hot, dry and windy. Please join me in asking our Heavenly Father to send His blessing of adequate rain across the northern half of America. Also, I encourage you to join me in praying for resurrection power!

“Gracious Heavenly Father, we pause to praise You for giving humanity Your great mercy. Instead of giving us the damnation we deserve, You have given us the opportunity of salvation in Christ Jesus. And not only have You given salvation, but You have also showered us with Your Holy Spirit so that we are able to recognize our own sinfulness, and our extreme need of a right relationship with Jesus!

“Oh Lord God, as we come to another Easter season that reminds us of the extreme price You have paid to redeem fallen humanity unto Yourself, we are humbled. Heavenly Father, we weep, knowing that our individual sin required Your extreme love to send Your beloved Son to the cross of Calvary. Lord Jesus, we praise You for being like us, while being fully God. We praise You Jesus, for willingly going to the cross as the perfect sacrificial Lamb of God on our behalf.

“Heavenly Father, You know the woeful sin of this nation: We truly are lovers of self and haters of good. We have proven Your word to be true as we exalt that which is wicked and vile, and wish to destroy Your bride, the church. Father God, knowing that we in no way deserve Your grace, mercy and love, we confess our sinfulness, and cling to Your righteousness.

“Father God, please bring Your cleansing to the American way of life. Give great boldness to those who have been blessed with Your amazing grace. Heavenly Father, may we truly be Your Joshua’s for this generation; may we too be ‘strong and courageous.’ Holy Spirit of God, help us to be humble in place of prideful, help us to be gracious in place of greedy, help us to be selfless instead of selfish. Holy Spirit, help each Christ-follower to give grace as we have been given grace, to forgive as we have been forgiven, to proclaim Your truth as You have opened our souls to Your good news!

“Heavenly Father, may each person who claims Jesus Christ as Savior find a genuine urgency to be a fully devoted followers of Jesus. May Your Spirit guide us into oneness with You and each other as Your children. Father God, help us to keep our eyes ‘fixed upon Jesus.’ Bring our spirits back to the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ; and as You raised Jesus from the dead, raise us for the living. Father, set our lives at a standard far above where You find each of us this day – give us Your resurrection power so that we may infect others with Christlikeness!

“Heavenly Father, may this Easter season be one that ignites a proper spiritual passion across America. Oh God, resurrect me, resurrect us, as Your children to a newness of faith that drives us into the wilderness around this nation, so that You may be glorified by a multitude of genuine disciples of Jesus Christ. Oh Father God, take each of us to our personal cross, help us die to self and be resurrected to the fulness of the Savior!

“We love You Heavenly Father, and we praise You for first loving us. Now Lord, use each of us who claim salvation in Christ Jesus, to be a light in a dark world. For Father, to You belongs all glory and praise, and honor for ever and ever, which we acknowledge in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen!”
