________________________________________________________________________

I counted my years and realized that I have less time to live by, than I have lived so far.

I feel like a child who won a pack of candies: at first, he ate them with pleasure but when he realized that there was little left, he began to taste them intensely.

I have no time for endless meetings where the statutes, rules, procedures and internal regulations are discussed, knowing that nothing will be done.

I no longer have the patience to stand absurd people who, despite their chronological age, have not grown up.

My time is too short: I want the essence; my spirit is in a hurry. I do not have much candy in the package anymore.

I want to live next to humans, very realistic people who know how to laugh at their mistakes and who are not inflated by their own triumphs and who take responsibility for their actions. In this way, human dignity is defended and we live in truth and honesty.

It is the essentials that make life useful.

I want to surround myself with people who know how to touch the hearts of those whom hard strokes of life have learned to grow with sweet touches of the soul.

Yes, I’m in a hurry. I’m in a hurry to live with the intensity that only maturity can give.

I do not intend to waste any of the remaining desserts. I am sure they will be exquisite, much more than those eaten so far.

My goal is to reach the end satisfied and at peace with my loved ones and my conscience.

We have two lives and the second begins when you realize you only have one.

*CALL TO PRAYER, South Africa!*

By

Friends and Prayer Warriors,

We have heard from the Lord and are working on an inclusive *plan* to save South Africa. We really need the Lord’s wisdom and guidance, because it must be inspired by the Holy Spirit from beginning to end. “Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labour in vain”_ (Ps 127:1). The stone that was rejected, Jesus Christ, must become the Cornerstone of a *New Nation*.

 

The plan is making good progress and will soon become known. South Africa needs a people’s movement, where the voice of the *’silent majority’* is heard. Many share the same Biblical values, but we don’t see that in society and in how decisions are made. South Africa needs an INTERVENTION, not in the flesh, but by God’s Spirit, as people obey His voice.

 

*Pray intensely* for this to come into being. We need watchmen on the walls of our nation, interceding day and night for God’s breakthrough! (Isa 62:6; 2 Sam 5:20) Pray also, in the name of Jesus Christ, that this spirit of negativity, fear, division and oppression *be broken* in South Africa. It is suffocating our people.

 

BUT GOD…!

 

The Lord is birthing something completely NEW in the nation to bring true solutions and healing (Isa 43:19). *Have faith!* Details of this plan aren’t made known yet, but please focus on praying for what is to come. Gradually at first, and then SUDDENLY it will move to the *forefront*. This is what we have been hoping and trusting for. Now is the time to intensify our prayers as the situation is getting desperate in South Africa.

 

Have good courage, something *very special* is coming. Send this message to all concerned citizens as an urgent *Call to Prayer*! Everything that is from God always starts with prayer.

 

The Lord bless you and keep you!

PRAYING!🙏🙏
