Luke 18:1-8 NKJV Then He spoke a parable to them, that men ought to pray and not lose heart, 2 saying, " There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man. 3 "Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, 'Get justice for me from my adversary.' 4 'And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, 'Though I do not fear God nor regard man, 5 'yet because of this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.'" 6 Then the Lord said, "Hear what the unjust judge said. 7 "And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him though He bears long with them? 8 "I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?"
In this truth, it is those who come willing to pray by faith in His name that God's will is done on earth as it is in heaven. Is there sickness in heaven? NO!
You and I live in a fallen world. And it continues to decay, to break into stones and pebbles and sometimes stinks terribly. But the reality is that we have authority given us by Jesus!
Sanctified by salvation: we grow and commit Our Father’s
planned & purposeful creativity for which we were born & to live out in
this very hour..for…it is in the love and patience of Christ…and our looking for His
return.
1 John 3:1 See what [an
incredible]quality of love the Father has given....(shown ,bestowed) on us, that
we should [be permitted to] be named and called and counted the children of
God! And so we are! The reason that the world does not know (recognize,
acknowledge)us is that it does not know,(recognize, acknowledge) Him.
God the Father has set in motion regeneration to those who are born again into the family of God. It is in this experience, the world will never understand for it chooses that which has nothing to do with God!
1 John
4:10 NKJV in this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent
His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one
another.
1 John 5:3-6 Amp Bible 3 For the [true] love of God is
this: that we do His commands [keep His ordinances & are mindful of His
precepts and teaching]. And these orders of His are not irksome (burdensome,
oppressive or grievous). 4 For whatever is born of God is victorious over the
world; & this the victory that conquers the world, even our faith. 5 Who is
it that is victorious over [that conquers] the world but he who believes that
Jesus is the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on that fact]?
6 This is He Who came by (with) water and blood [His baptism
and His death] Jesus Christ (the Messiah)-----not by (in) the water only, but
by (in) the water and the blood. And it is the [Holy] Spirit Who bears witness
because the [Holy] Spirit is the TRUTH!
In authority, we are mindful of the precepts given us in the doctrine of the kingdom that has come through Jesus Christ! From 1 John 5: 4 states that whatever is born of God is victorious over the world and that means any virus, any disease like cancer, anything the devil tries to whip up to bring destruction on others is under the feet of Jesus. Adhering to Jesus, we adhere to life, we adhere to those promises of God that was given to remind us that victory is ours. If He is seated on our hearts, then we see and enjoy that victory, and our faith is evident!
1
John 5:9-12 Amplified Bible 9 If we accept [as we
do] the testimony of men [ if we are willing to take human authority], the
testimony of God is greater ( of stronger authority), for this is the testimony
of God, even the witness which He has borne regarding His Son. 10 He who
believes in the Son of God [ who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Him] has
the testimony.....[ possesses this divine attestation] within himself.
This Attestation: authentic, evidence, declaration........He who does not believe God
[in this way] has made Him out to be and represented Him as a liar, because he
has not believed (put his faith in, adhered to, and relied on) the evidence (
the testimony) that God has borne regarding His Son. 11 And this is that testimony ( that
evidence); God gave us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who possesses
the Son has that life; he who does not possess the Son of God does not have
that life.
Certainly we see many men speak today, from news anchors, to medical specialists to those who have only opinions and no truth working within their hearts! So if I choose to watch one news network like One America News or NewsMax over CNN, I choose to watch who I believe is operating in a truth that is not biased. If you choose another network, you might find them giving a truth you believe to be true. Yet in this should you and I choose to trust the word of God above all else, for God who cannot fail and cannot lie is in our midst. For certainly God is credible from Genesis to Revelation and we can participate with Him in these last days! Accepting His Son Jesus, is accepting God's approval that is sealed in the blood of the Lamb slain for those who would believe. If you or I choose not to believe God in that He sent His Son, then we make God a liar. Rejecting Jesus is accusing God of dishonesty.
The Source of life given to you and I is life eternally. In that eternal life is not that found in education nor is it found in philosophy nor is it found in some man's idea of what God was doing and whether or not it had anything to do with Jesus. And within this life in Jesus, we have justice and it comes from the Father of lights of whom there is no shadow of His turning. He does not change His mind of what He has purposed for you and for me.
YOU and I have life through Jesus Christ when we receive Him as Lord of our lives! In Him we have what God intended and without that there is only death and hell to expect! But in Christ we have a given authority to stand and speak out loud that trust in His name that what was accomplished for us at the Cross and for us to grab hold today and know it as that benefit.
The evidence, that testimony is that Jesus died to give us life: John 10:10 The thief (satan) does not come except to steal, kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.
Life is living, it is living in health and wholeness, not with disease or virus.
Our praying now should be for our neighbors to know Jesus as we know Him. Our prayers should be that we reach God's heart loving them as we love ourselves. Are we doing just that?
Message Bible: Romans 6:16……….So,
since we are out from under the old tyranny, does that mean we can live any old
way we want? Since we are free in the
freedom of God, can we do anything that comes to mind? Hardly. You know
well enough from your own experience that there
are some acts of so-called freedom that destroys freedom. Offer yourselves to sin for instance & it
is your last free act.
But offer yourselves to the ways of God and the
freedom never quits. All your lives you’ve let sin tell you what to do. But
thank God you’ve started listening to a new master, one whose commands sets you
free to live openly in his freedom! I am using this freedom language because it is easy to picture.You can readily recall can't you, how at one time the more you did just what you felt like doing.....not caring about others, not caring about God----the worse your life
became and the less freedom you had? And how much different is it now as you
live in God’s freedom, your lives healed and expansive in holiness?
WE FIND in the New Testament, the Greek word 'soteria'
(salvation) means both spiritual and physical salvation. The main teaching is pointing toward that
both a good soul and good health is available. 3 John 2 states in the Amplified
Bible:2 Beloved, I pray that
you may prosper in every way and [that your body] may keep well, even as [I
know] your soul keeps well and
prospers.
God desire us to be healed in body and
mind. And that healing comes in the
package of our salvation. Looking into
Salvation through Christ embraces this triune nature of man, not just his soul
and spirit. This truth is secured
by two redemptive names of God:
JEHOVAH-TSIDKENU
meaning "The Lord our Righteousness"
JEHOVAH-RAPHA
meaning "The Lord our Physician"
So
we arrive at an amazing conclusion: if we believe in faith that Jesus’
death and sacrifice on the cross is sufficient to forgive our sins, then the
same sacrifice is sufficient to take away our diseases and sicknesses. Faith is
the substance, and Christ Jesus is the foundation of the “thing” we desire of
the Lord. We are both the forgiven
& the healed at the time of our Salvation. And the process contains the truth that sin
is forgiven, & when we get sick we can be the healed. It is residing in Him, in heavenly places, & where speech or our words are not corrupt.
Father, in Jesus' name: We pray
that every evil practice would collide with truth and life in the northwest! Acts
8:4-8 Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them. 6 And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
7 For unclean spirits, crying with a loud
voice, came out of many who were possessed; & many who were paralyzed and
lame were healed. 8 And there was great joy in that city.
We believe our community and the northwest will hear the Gospel truth and know Jesus that is life in the chaos that is represented in the streets today! We pray they know that anything outside of God is outside His borders of protection!
Father: We declare
our home and community to be a dwelling place for God's presence. "'And I
Myself will be a wall of fire around it,' declares the Lord, 'and I will be its
glory within.'" (Zechariah 2:5) Blessed are the people who know the joyful
sound! They walk, O LORD in the light of Your countenance. 16 In Your name they
rejoice all day long, and in Your righteousness they are exalted. 17 For You
are the glory of their strength & in Your favor our horn exalted. Yes, we celebrate the light of His presence which brings to us strength and favor.
(Psalm
89:15-17). We give thanks for favor, that You are a wall of protection for those who call on Your name in Your truth. We know the joyful sound that comes from walking with You daily. In Your light we see light. We pray for our neighbors to know truth and to dwell in peace!
We praise
You Lord for You hide us in the secret place of Your presence from the plots of man; &
He keeps us secretly from the strife of tongues. Thank You Lord for disarming
the enemy. (Psalm 31:20; Exodus 33:14).
We thank You for revealing the plots of the enemy who made coronavirus and that which causes harm to those made in Your image. The devil certainly will use men who know not God. We stand in faith, with the full armor of God to resist the enemy steadfast in the faith. We have set Your word as our STANDARD. We submit to Your leadership in the land of the living! We confess: that no weapon formed against us shall prosper. We dwell in the secret place of the most High God!
Father thank You for your faithfulness &
may we be faithful for in Your presence those who work deceit shall not dwell
within Your house; He who tells lies shall not continue in Your presence. (Psalm
101:7). We invite the fear of the Lord to rest on our community. Then angel of
the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him & delivers them. (Psalm
34:7) Let Him be our fear, and let Him be our dread. He will be as a sanctuary,
but a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense. (Isaiah 8:13-14)
Father thank You for directing our feet into the place where there is no deceit. We invite the fear of the Lord to reside in this our community and thank You for angels to encamp around those who fear God indeed!
Father, in Jesus' name we are praying
that doctrinal differences would give way to demonstrating the Spirit and
power: 2 Timothy 1: 7-8
NKJV For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of
a sound mind. 8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor
of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel
according to the power of God.
We are not in fear, but we are in strength and joy commanding angels to be deployed to help our neighbors in the care of their older parents, and the younger generation of grand-children. We believe God to be true and every man the liar.
Psalm 133:1
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in
unity.
Father, we
know spiritual unity is vital to the body of believers. The Lord Jesus prayed
for this unity for those who would be followers to having a complete unity with
the Father. Thank You for the wonderful outpouring of the Holy Spirit that brings us together to abide in the truth of God and having one heart with Him. Amen and Amen!
You and I must know God's order that is found in His word and anything outside of that is chaos. This is a time period of shutdowns, no travel, closed businesses, closed sports arenas, closed shopping malls, closed schools, no vacations and no whim or spur of the moment activity! This is really that moment for each person: man, woman and child to determine who they will serve with their heart. It is looking to God to lead us in paths of righteousness for His name's sake and not ours! If you and I do not change in this time given ....here in 2020....there will be another sign to see soon. Yes, in the year 2025 Apophis the asteroid arrives in the sky and one will be able to see it with the naked eye. It is slated to touch the earth in 2029. As those made in God's image, have we followed closed after Jesus to see God's will done on earth or have we changed His word for our own ways of being and doing? God is not mocked, for what we have sown in abortions, and changing the marriage of one man with one woman will certainly have a deciding factor on what occurs next. Prayer is yes, important, and it is those who pray in faith believing God has His way and not our desires to come to pass.
May we truly reach out with a heart for Him and with Him to seek His plan through this period of a trial...for a certain tribulation is ahead....the roadway marked for chaos, but those in God will reside in peace, know His love and avail to know victory while others may not see any of that at all.
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. And that word prevails over every name that can be named, including Covid 19 and Apophis. Jesus is far above those names and I would be praying for that ...so our neighbors will know Jesus and know their home is with Him always. He is: Healer! He is: Great Physician! He is: Prince of Peace sent by the Father of love to bring love to a broken world!
May faith be seen when He returns....let God arise and let His enemies be scattered.
