2Minutes with Pastor Don- In my Father's house are many rooms!

John 14:2 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.
We have so many little chambers of the heart spiritually that is closed off to the work of God in our lives. God sent the Holy Spirit to help counsel and heal those places of the heart that are filled with pain, trouble, and strife. Jesus prepared a place for us! He said: “In my Father’s house are many rooms and I go there to prepare a place for you! Be encourage to make room in those deep chambers of your heart to God! He will heal you and give you victory.

Blessings,

Pastor Don Dukes

The 59th National Day of Prayer in Whitefish

2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 11With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith. 12We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

The National Day of prayer meeting here in Whitefish was a great success in The Lord. We had double the amount of people show up than last year, and the people chosen to lead us in prayer were anointed by God to do so. Thank you all for praying for our Nation.
Today we are still seeing encouraging results of God’s work in the lives of people through the National Day of Prayer. As believers in Jesus Christ, as God’s people praying together, everyday should be  A National Day of Prayer.
God Bless you,
Don Dukes

Psalm 104

Good morning everyone! I just went on a morning prayer with “Milo” the cat! God reminded me as I looked at the beautiful mountains, as “Milo” chased the birds around, of His love for me, which is not based on performance or the expectations of others! He wants us to rest in His love and live in His “GRACE”! Read Psalm 104 today! Meditate and be blessed! “Amen!”

Pressing on in Prayer!

Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, saying: “There was in a curtain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man. Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, get justice for me from my adversary! And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, though I do not fear God nor regard man, yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me! Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. And shall not God avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth? Luke 18:1-8.

Saint, just as the widow never gave up on her quest for justice from an unjust judge, so it is with us! Although we do go through times of discouragement, we must not be discouraged as we wait for the Lord’s return. We must persist in prayer! Unlike the unjust judge in (verse 6), God always does the right thing. It may seem at times He delays. But from His perspective, He is acting speedily on our behalf (verse 8). The truth in this parable applies to any discouragement we are facing as we wait for answered prayer! We always ought to pray, and not lose heart! God is looking for faith before and when He returns!….So, “KEEP THE FAITH”. Because without it, it will be impossible to please Him! (Hebrews 11:6). “Blessings”!

Prayer is warfare!

Jesus said in John 10:10; “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (NKJV). The greatest deception the devil uses in the lives of believers and non-believers alike is that there is little or no spiritual warfare. As one of my dear missionary friends puts it- when it comes to demonic warfare; “ The Deceiver has woven an intricate web of apathy, ignorance and avoidance of such malicious manifestations. Yet God has clearly warned us to be Awake, Aware…and Active!” So, how do we become Awake, Aware, and Active in this spiritual battle? We do these attributes only in Prayer and the Word of God! Satan hates prayer and the Word of God..The Holy Bible- because he knows that the true believer in Jesus Christ can over power him with these weapons. Because spiritual warfare is ongoing, so is the need for believers to bow down in humility to ask our Heavenly for forgiveness for our apathy and to Fill us afresh with the Holy Spirit, then rise up in the strength of the Lord in Prayer and the Word to defeat the evil one in our lives and in the lives of others! “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles (schemings) of the devil. Ephesians 6:10-11.
