Desiring God-Fight for Joy

I listen to many sermons and John Piper is one. His message on Desiring God-Fight for Joy was very good, sent to me by our son Mike Campfield. So as I listened I took my own notes and used the Bible as a guide also for what I am writing. Ever since July 25 of this year when I got dehydrated then had a Covid test and it was positive I have not be able to do anything, but rest and listen to ministers to keep my faith which seem to not have any Joy for our Joy comes from doing the Lord will and since I was handicap with Covids Symptoms I could not taste food, nor have any energy to work at anything but resting. Then July 21 the Lord restored my desire to work for the Joy of the Lord is our strength and I knew it by what I was able to do before Surgery with a UROLIFT a proven approach to treating enlarged prostate by Doctor Lauer August 23. Which is getting better and better as Doctor Jesus does the healing. Doctors cut, God does the healing for which we have seen many times. So as I write to you today I am rejoicing in the glory of the Lord as my strength. I desire God and know we have to have faith to fight the giants of our lives with the Help of the Lord. Desiring God-Fight for Joy What is your heart and mind thinking about God or Satan? Are they a thousand mile apart, or the same? We are Christ Ambassadors for the Kingdom of God, so we are on a mission showing and displaying Joy of the Lord. Philippians 1:22-25 New King James Version 22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I [a]cannot tell. 23 [b]For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. 24 Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you. 25 And being confident of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith. Are we living in the flesh which is sinful, or are we progressing in the joy of our faith in God? I want to make sure I am advancing using the faith God gave us all, to live in the joy of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 1:24 “Not that we [a]have dominion over your faith, but are fellow workers for your joy; for by faith you stand”. Here Paul is telling us we do not have dominion, or power over our faith. Can you see it is not our faith it is Gods, given to us, so we are full of the joy of the Lord to see Gods grace in giving us Goodwill and peace! 1.What are you aiming to do with your life? What’s the reason you don’t do what is goodwill for peace of mind? Do you want breath, wealth and health? Yes, But God give us joy to live as we abide in the Lord, regardless of our emotions and feeling. It is not my well, but Gods will be done. We are living in a dangerous world with lawless abounding and circumstances around us is robing many of the joy of the Glory of the Lord. 2.I am not on a mission to make you happy, I am on a mission to show you how the Bible will help us, as we decide to seek God and take great delight in how He give us the joy of the Lord. We are not saved by ourselves, but by choosing to follow the Lord. It is God’s sovereign will, as we trust and obey God. It is His Spirit that draws us and compels us to connect with His way, truth and life. It is a miracle given to all that call upon the Lord to forgive us of the wages of sin of death. God wants us to not waste time, but call upon Him know, that we can then delight in the Lords love, mercy, grace and justice.
Franklin Graham Concerned for Our Country by our Cousin Gary Randell

Franklin Graham Concerned For Country--Calls For Action Franklin Graham, along with other Christian leaders, is expressing deep concern for our country. He said on social media, "The swamp in Washington is getting bigger and it will take God to drain it." "Politics in this country," he said, "has become so corrupt and partisan." Graham expressed his deep concern for the country, just hours after Trump called for the Department of Justice to release the affidavit used to justify the raid on Trump's home. While Franklin has been a strong supporter of Trump's presidency, he says there is an even greater reason to put the light on this matter. Be informed, not misled. Evangelical leader Franklin Graham has expressed his dismay at the circumstances surrounding the FBI raid on the Mar-a-Largo home of former President Donald Trump and issued a personal plea on social media for the release of all documents relating to the controversy. Graham used a post on Facebook to set out his concerns while pleading for God’s intervention alongside prayers for a quick resolution to a matter he sees as poisonous to the national character. Graham wrote: The swamp in Washington is getting bigger, and it will take God to drain it! Politics in this country has become so corrupt and partisan. Former President Trump has called for the immediate release of the unredacted federal warrant related to the FBI’s search of his Mar-a-Lago home. I agree, why not release it and let the American people decide? Then, if it reveals that former President Trump has done something wrong, he will have to answer for it. On the other hand, if the Department of Justice has done something wrong, they will have to answer to the American people for it. Our country is in trouble. We need God’s help, and we need to pray. On Monday Trump posted this on Truth Social: There is no way to justify the unannounced RAID of Mar-a-Lago, the home of the 45th President of the United States (who got more votes, by far, than any sitting President in the history of our Country!), by a very large number of gun-toting FBI Agents, and the Department of “Justice” but, in the interest of TRANSPARENCY, I call for the immediate release of the completely Unredacted Affidavit pertaining to this horrible and shocking BREAK-IN. Also, the Judge on this case should recuse! Clearly, Trump would have some kind of political aspirations connected to this matter, but I believe he loves this country very much---whether or not he runs for president again. Franklin Graham is a faithful preacher of the Gospel, and also loves our country. And these voices are joining a chorus of concerns across the nation, calling for full transparency. Biden's Attorney General says "no." Attorney General Merrick Garland says his decision to raid Trump's house was not taken "lightly" and was only taken after "taking less intrusive means." The problem he and others in the Biden administration who lead bureaus such as the Department of Justice, the FBI and others have is that the American people simply don't believe them anymore. And it isn't only a political difference of opinion---it's a deeply held moral and spiritual difference. The people don't trust the president's ability to lead and now we have lost confidence in his choice of leaders. The Justice Department opposes the release of the affidavit, arguing that the "need to protect the integrity of an ongoing law enforcement investigation that implicates national security" while shielding witnesses to the case decision. We're being asked to trust the people who have turned their heads away from the Hunter Biden mess and Sec. of State Hillary Clinton's 33,000 disappearing emails that were housed on servers kept in the closet of her private home. When a bit of light was turned on her, she acid washed, and the list continues. We are approaching a boiling point. This shenanigan could be the proverbial tipping point. Franklin Graham is right. Our national character is being poisoned.
