Never, Never, Never Give Up

Luke 18
The Story of the Widow Who Would Not Give Up
1 Jesus told his disciples a story. He wanted to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 2 He said, "In a certain town there was a judge. He didn't have any respect for God or care about people. 3 A widow lived in that town. She came to the judge again and again. She kept begging him, 'Make things right for me. Someone is doing me wrong.'
4 "For some time the judge refused. But finally he said to himself, 'I don't have any respect for God. I don't care about people. 5 But this widow keeps bothering me. So I will see that things are made right for her. If I don't, she will wear me out by coming again and again!' "

6 The Lord said, "Listen to what the unfair judge says.

7 "God's chosen people cry out to him day and night. Won't he make things right for them? Will he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, God will see that things are made right for them. He will make sure it happens quickly.

"But when the Son of Man comes, will he find people on earth who have faith?"


On this day Senator Barack Obama has won the nomination as the National Democratic Candidate for President of the United States. Every Saved, Sanctified, Bible believing, Borned-again, tongue talking, Holy Ghost-filled, washed in the Blood Saint of the Almighty God should pray for the safety of this man and the protection of our Country. I believe wholeheartedly that politics should never be the basis for the word of God proclaimed from the pulpit. A very wise man who pastored my family church for 54 years once told me, "Boy, Preach the word. Preach on the Cross and stay under the blood!" This one of my early memories of God calling me to the ministry. Rev. Dr. A.R. Walker was 98 when he passed on in 1991. He was a very wise man of God and I will forever be thankful to have known him until his death. Every one should be in constant prayer to God for this Nation. Inspired by the Holy Ghost, Luke illustrates the story Jesus told about the unjust Judge and the widow. The Judge is a political figure. I am not sure what the political climate was in the region but our Lord always chose topics that would get the peoples attention. He used a political figure to tell us that we should never give up our prayer life for no man. The Lord tells us to "listen to what the unfair judge says." How much more will our Heavenly Father hear his childrens cry than this unjust judge hear the old widow. Please Pray for the future of the United States of America. God Bless America!!!!!! One Nation, under God, indivisible with Liberty and justice for all.
