Prayer Fatigue?

Lately I"ve been hearing a lot about other Christians sharing that they have received dreams from God
about a nuclear attack (whether from Russia or China). When I hear this I often pray for God's
protection on the USA.

However over time, I'm getting fatigued and I feel bad, because one part of me wants to
say what am I prolonging and why?

One part of me is saying let's just get this over with, come Lord Jesus.

But with that said, currently I'm in the state of mind to continue to pray for protection
and God to keep the USA safe from nuclear attack.

But every once in a while, I feel like, we probably would deserve the judgment and
the sooner this world ends the better.

But I guess thinking that way isn't Christ-like is it?

God will do what he wants in good time. We do not need to worry about anything. Just pray for what you need and have faith. Leave it to him.

So you are torn apart by Two masters?.
So you have 2 desires.
So you are in the middle of your will and The WILL of GOD.
So you are toss by this wind then another wind blows, then you are move into another direction?
Are you splitting the fence. One leg on this side and the other leg on the other side.
are you longing for Egypt are you gazing back at Sodom, and morning for "BABYLON" future indicative?

And this is not Your Hearts desirer: And your prayer is not "Thy Kingdom Comes" "they Will be Done on earth as it is done in "Heaven"

New International Version
your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
New Living Translation
May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
English Standard Version
Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
NASB 1995
‘Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.
NASB 1977
‘Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.

{Your Kingdom will come, and Your will, Will be done, On EARTH , just like it is done in Heaven}



The Rider on the White Horse
…"He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and His name is The Word of God. The armies of heaven, dressed in fine linen, white and pure,follow Him on white horses. And from His mouth proceeds a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, AND HE WILL RULE THEM with an IRON SCEPTER. He treads THE WINEPRESS OF THE FURY OF THE WRATH OF GOD THE ALMIGHTY.…"

Is not your will too? and you long to see His Appearance. :pensive:

"Still another angel, with authority over the fire, came from the altar and called out in a loud voice to the angel with the sharp sickle, “Swing your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of grapes from the vine of the earth, because its grapes are ripe.” So the angel swung his sickle over the earth and gathered the grapes of the earth, and he threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath. And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and the blood that flowed from it rose as high as the bridles of the horses for a distance of 1,600 stadia.…ff":pensive:

is this thinking not Christ like?
 
The problem will mankind they do not know how wicked they are, The problem with most christians they do not know what had to be done to "redeem" them from "DAMNATION"! We Honor GOD with our mouths but our hearts are far from him, We are saved by Grace and not of Our selves, If GOD would give us Justice no one would be saved. Our Justification comes from the Redemption that is FOUND in CHRIST JESUS. and Our explanation of that and understanding of that cannot be done. And if any tries, it is full proof how corrupted we really are. "And where Sin Abounds Grace abounds that much more":pensive:

WE Must drop the baggage and lighten the load, too much baggage contaminates the load, the more baggage you drop the more "LIGHT" is SHOWN!:eyes::sob:

Are we having Fun yet?
 
WE Must drop the baggage and lighten the load, too much baggage contaminates the load, the more baggage you drop the more "LIGHT" is SHOWN!:eyes::sob:

So to "drop the baggage" in terms of the questions I asked would mean what my brother?

Thanks,

"love not the world and the things in it' "Whosoever loves this world is a enemy of GOD" you know the pattern, Just do not hang around those Goats to much" meaning worldly people.

Similar to the express of "Calvin and Augustine" "Women clouds the mind":cool: And Solomon said; Among 1000, I have not found one!:sob: and in the hood they have said: "you can do with them, and you sure cannot do without them" and The Bible says: "he who has found a wife, have found I good thing" . Do you need a interpreter. For GOD has Bless "The MARRIAGE BED" and declared it is "HOLY"! So may i say this to all, through all the trouble we may go through in marriage, God makes up for it, by giving us "the MARRIAGE BED" and He made it HOLY! And we better not violated! For if we do!:eyes:

You can believe pastor Givemore, and Lady JANE, if want too! But When ROOSTER come to CROW":eyes:

New King James Version
Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

American Standard Version
Ye adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore would be a friend of the world maketh himself an enemy of God.
 
Quick note: for the Skeptics. I like women, and I have questioned GOD, on many occasions and even ask Him why, in my younger years how come we can only have one! :sob: He answered. When he revealed why to me, the answer; ?MERCY":sob:

Mercy :joy:,

You're not going to make many friend with the sisters of Christ here with those jokes.

It is funny, but you might be hurting some feelings. :rolleyes::eyes:

ok, my goal is not to make friends, When i was a creature of the world i did my best to do so. you might be trying to make friends, I am not, I am engage to speak truths, I am not a holy being in completion. I am for real, i am still a sinner, big time, But i have been saved by Grace. and I Cannot wait , until my change come, When I pull off this garment of total corruption and put on that which is incorruptible. I will not be satisfied, i hate that very garment of flesh of this corruption and longing to be clothe of that which is incorruptible even it stain, bothers me. This corruption that belongs to me.:pensive: Hating this garment.
King James Bible
And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.


And may I say how much does it pains you, that a HOLY GOD died in your place for in which you are GUILTY and not Him.:pensive: I feel that pain. that he died for me.

I am a sinner, and many times I know i will hurt many of people feelings, before, i leave this place, and that is why, they Crucified him and everywhere he preached, in their streets and towns and "Synagogues" every time they wanted to kill him too! So if we proclaim the gospel according to Jesus, the World is going to want to kill us too! And we will hurt their feelings too! even our brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus through many times in ignorance.

But if we are trying to please mankind, we have nothing to worry about, they will welcome us into their homes, churches and their families with open arms.

And I do think we do know the GOD we serve, the FATHER in whom we Know, Controls all the hearts of all mankind, He controls and reveals to us our TRUE Brothers And sisters in Christ our Lord . Our FATHER is not a man! He controls thoughts of men and women, And he always let our brothers and sisters in Christ know who we are. . We are not into the gods of this world. they are not like Our Father. I am getting ready to brag on Our FATHER who is The FATHER to only a FEW in this world.

He controls the wind, and tells it, when to blow and how hard.! The wind does not blow as it wills although it seems He controls Plagues and Pandemics and who they kill, he speaks and they stop, he commands and they move. He commands Leaders of "NATIONS" He ALSO Deceive leaders of "NATIONS" No one can Die unless HE gives DEATH the COMMAND to ACT. No man man can command the rain to fall.. but man might think that his chemistry his technology has cause the rain to drop and moisture to arrange into the "Atmosphere". Even then, GOD has deceive that man into thinking he have,

Just like The Magicians thought they had turn their staffs into Serpents. Just like I have said before, even the witch of Endor and Saul thought she had brought "SAMUEL" back from the dead. Our GOD can bring a person back from the DEAD, not a witch!
And what is a Ghost to GOD! but you can always tell those who believe in "Methodology" "Mysticism" instead of a good form of "Hermeneutics" and "Proper Biblical reading".

They can call themselves students, that "GOD KEPT hardening Pharaoh's Heart. Then many stop there. They understand the plague there, then it stops there. They can understand that GOD killed the children in Egypt, but it stops there. They can understand Pharaoh's army got drown in The Red sea, but their thoughts stop there. They Can understand The GOD of the Old TESTAMENT and believe That He has change and in the same breath, many will say He is "IMMUTABLE".

If we are concern about Hurting peoples feelings, we need to stop trying to present the Gospel According to JESUS CHRIST! For we have become, Seeker to Please men, we have become man and women pleaser, we need to go back and reboot! for we cannot be a leader or speaker on the behave of JESUS The CHRIST OF GOD" we are men pleaser, and that is what we seek! we seek not God. if we do seek to please men, we have become a enemy of mankind!

Like iI told my wife and our children, my wife do not want to upset you she wants to be your Friend,, I told them, I ain't your friend and I am not trying to be your friend I am your parent! as long as you are standing in this house! You are not going to be Dressing up like " Queen of Sheba" going hunt'in with War Paint ON! And i will be keeping the light on, until you get home, And i told her in high school, I want to know the address because I want to know where to come when it get late!:sob: And your are not going to a college where they wear BOO___ shorts!:sob::sob: My daughter thank me. in the end, so far for that.

And my wife told me she needed, a friend, and looked for me to be her friend, I told her i am not your friend nor am I trying to be, I am your husband. And i pray to GOD that the best husband I can be, to you, no matter how i feel, Teach me LORD how to LOVE my wife just Like I should and not by my own understanding or how she may understand it, to be. "lean but not unto thy own understand but Trust in GOD" our happiness comes from GOD and not our Spouses!" But there are to many in the church who are anti-bible" they out numbers us maybe 10,000 to one, that comes up against us ! Because the Church has taken GOD"S PLACE and decide to Rule on earth! by their rules and doctrines! She has decide to be The Ruling QUEEN!

So with women i always been true, I tell them the truth even about me, i am not a deceiver with women, i had A mother , aunts, female cousins, and I have three daughters, So i always told women the truth, When women would not tell them the Truth!

I married not because i loved her, because my mother heard that i was sleeping with a girl, and my mother told me "if she is good enough to sleep with, she is good enough to marry! so i only knew her , my wife for 2 months and i married her, because i did not want to do her wrong by sleeping with her! now show me a man that sleeps with a women and she is not his wife, he is not to be trusted that is a evil and foolish man!

So also says the Word of GOD! [ And i don't like women, and hurt feelings ] but the friend her friend sleeps, sleeps with her and she is not his wife. But that is the friend.? Have i spoken up to people about this, of course i do. What kind of Child of God am I,, if i do not?

New people i have never met before and somehow we are talking, i am in prayer always, i am going to get the GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JESUS OUT, Even If the DOOR is them living with or sleeping with someone who is not there spouse. Most of the time that is the door opening up to The GOSPEL ACCORDING TO CHRIST. I confront them. and believe me it hurts their feelings. especially if they have children. The churches have escape clauses. God don't, concerning living in sin with no repentance.

And if i am evil [sinning] presumptuously for telling a humor, i am not surprise by slipping up, by doing so, for i am a sinner, and not beyond reproach and if drinking wine makes my brother stumbles I will no longer drink wine. to be correct i will no longer joke. on this channel. for joking too is "contemptible" in the body of Christ as well, for that I do "APOLOGIZE". and stand and wear the correction in humility. and ask for "forgiveness" in Christ Jesus our lord.

And i do not drink wine or beer or any kind of Alcohol drinks for that reason. I do not need jokes or drinks..

New King James Version
Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
American Standard Version
Faithful are the wounds of a friend; But the kisses of an enemy are profuse.

Ploughboy, A SIINER still, but saved by grace, and i must plow on heading for the Kingdom that is to come! And I will not turn around!

New American Standard Bible
"Therefore, since we also have such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let’s rid ourselves of every obstacle and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with endurance the race that is set before us,"

I understand that, maybe I'm being too critical, but I always try to think of the side of the most vulnerable.

So making friends aside, do you think the joke was loving?
All jokes are wrong in" Christ Jesus" We are to do no Coarse JESTINGS!


New King James Version
neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.

For in many things we all stumble.:pensive: When we do, we regain our footing and we, get up!
 
Oh ye of little faith, don't you know that we're not appointed to the wrath of God? For the sake of just ten righteous men, God would have spared Sodom and Gomorrah, that's the biblical quorum; however, when Sodom and Gomorrah were too far gone beyond redemption, there was not even ten righteous men, then God's angels dragged Lot and his family out, and nuked those cities. Therefore we need to pray for our dear brothers and sisters in a few bible believing and teaching churches in America, especially those such as Rock Harbor that teach prophecies and train their congregation for spiritual battles. For their sake, God will not nuke America; but if we stay complacent and leave them on their own devices, then nothing would spare us from the nightmare you've just described.

Thanks for sharing, much appreciated.
 
However over time, I'm getting fatigued and I feel bad
Well the cheap short answer is Jesus didn't inspire you to pray that way.

Longer answer.. here is an example; a friend of mine a decade ago said to me that God was sharing his heart with her, and it was full of grief..the type described in as of the days of Noah. Some reject such testimony by default, but I will get to the point later.

Now with regard to the natural course of human events, some times in life the right thing to do is fight for a cause up until the point the fight is no longer worth the effort, you then change your strategy. For example, work as hard as you can to make as much money to pay for all your son or daughters cancer treatments, after they die you declare bankruptcy and do something else, rest, etc. Go polish concrete floors while living in a cheap apartment. Mind numbing work but can pay the bills.. just not all of them.

And you might gasp and say, no, such a thing would never apply to the spiritual realm. Well I disagree. Have plenty of life experience to provide evidence that God's shared emotions with us do infact correlate directly with life, and our own. God is not some merciless psychopath asking us why we aren't as happy as a 6 month old puppy all the time.


I suspect in the end times, Christians worldwide will be collectively fatigued and intercession for the wicked will cease.


So anyhow, what we have to ask is, is God sustaining us and if it doesn't seem so, why not. Is our fatigue because we are doing something we should not be? Or is it because we are doing what is right, for the time being.

And also, if you are one of the few percent who strongly suspect God is sharing his emotions with you... Is this fatigue you are feeling yours? Or is God also fatigued of restraining the natural course of human events beyond that which is worth the effort.

That was very good and great points to reflect upon. Very well said. Thank you.
