A Prayer and an Amen to Pastor Coty's prayer for our nation and the election!

Like the people of Judah, we the people of the United States do not deserve even a modicum of God's mercy, and so we do not deserve an honest, good, principled leader of our government. At this point, it certainly does not look like we will get one this year. But if God could bring Manasseh to repentance, He can bring to repentance any American president; if God could destroy His own temple and bring down the kingdom called by His Name, He can bring down in judgment the United States of America; and if God could restore His people, showing mercy that they did not deserve, and raise up from a descendant of this very Manasseh the Savior of the world, then God can bring a sinful and rebellious nation today to repentance, and use it for His good and wise purposes to bring about the final culmination of His great  plan. Father, in Your mercy, would you would grant such repentance?

Pastor Coty

Amen, I sayDGCC website, Amen, Amen 

Build Your church, Dear Lord.  Draw people to Yourself in humble supplication for Your intercession.  Answer the prayers that we pray for the uplifting of our hearts and not just our pocketbooks. Grant safety and peace,  ethics and heart religion to the leaders of our nation and give the young people something to reach for.  Use Your Word to cleanse and heal and transform.  In wrath remember mercy!


In Jesus' Name, Amen

The Contrast of the Arm of the Lord and the Arm of man! No Comparison

As I stood beside my son and felt vicariously the pulling squeak of the rods from his tiny bones, I thanked God for the precision and great time that we live in to have his arm reset in such a way.   My heart hurt with every squeak of the pull.  There were 3 rods and they worked to hold the arm in place while the body pulled those bones back permanently.
When I see him do a push-up or hit a backhand, my heart leaps that healing can happen in such a way that is so internal and so unseen, by anyone but the mother.


I am praying for the cry of Egypt in Ezekiel.  God show yourself as the greater love than a mother.  Show that You do not forget Your own promises and oaths.  Turn that oath to the salvation of souls from the top to the bottom.  As You have healed my Ethy's Arm, show that broken arm cry for salvation and the love of Christ results in true reconciliation.  Help us over the generations to have renounced the pride that made us crushed in the Red Sea.   Meet us in the flood of Your salvation and redeem to the utmost.

Giving God the Glory!

Ezekiel 31:10 

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;

Ezekiel 31:11

I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.

When I have raised my hands in victory,    I give God the glory.

His is the glory.  His is the victory.  His is the honor because He alone is worthy.

When I have enjoyed the smell of sweet success,   I give to God the glory.

Vain and putrid is the pride of man.  Sinful and selfserving is all acceptance of accolades on earth.

I won’t be satisfied with earthly achievements until my soul is satisfied in Jesus.  If you are not with me in my victories it is no victory.  If you are not with me in my completions the action is not complete.

Lord, Your help alone is right thinking.  I know that Your spirit is there, wherever I go.  Let Your Spirit catch me and hold me, even when my heart is rising and exalting.  Let Your Spirit catch me lest I fall into the pit, in my despair.

You are the fairest and most beautiful.  You are the exalted and mighty king.  Give grace to see the exaltation of Your attributes in the good times and the dark.  I love You Lord for all Your graces and help.
