“The day is coming”— God’s Decree—“When there will be no more war. None. I’ll slaughter your war horses and demolish your chariots. I’ll dismantle military posts and level your fortifications. I’ll abolish your religious black markets, your underworld traffic in black magic. I will smash your carved and cast gods and chop down your phallic posts. No more taking control of the world, worshiping what you do or make. I’ll root out your sacred sex-and-power centers and destroy the God-defiant. In raging anger, I’ll make a clean sweep of godless nations who haven’t listened.”Micah 5:10‭-‬15 MSG

Abba, Father, You are our faithful God who is long-suffering towards us. Your desire is for everyone to come to their senses, repent of their sin & turn to You. Like in the story of the prodigal son, You are always on the lookout for even a small indication of repentance to embrace us & welcome us back to You. You are ready to wipe the slate clean, remove all wickedness & evil in the world, wars & violence will cease, all wrong will be made right. At that time, Your patience will run out, repentance will no longer be an option but rather judgement & Your wrath against sin. We pray for all to choose Your love instead of Your wrath, to turn to You & be welcomed into You loving embrace. In Jesus’ name, amen!!!
