109. Devotion – 7. The GLORY of God

Hallelujah Devotion – 7. The GLORY of God

The glory of God…. “The LORD shall be revealed, And all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.” Is40:5

What is the glory of the Lord & what does it do in & to us?

GLORY (NT-Greek)– ‘doxa’ refers to God’s dignity, His honour, praise & the worship due His name.
GLORY (OT-Hebrew)- ‘kabod’ pertains to the weighty splendour, glorious prevailing presence of God that deserves His honour & accentuates His sovereignty.

God promises us that His glory shall be revealed to all of creation. That every knee shall bow & every tongue confess that He is Lord.

In the OT we learn that offerings & atonement for sin were made and the glory cloud of God entered the temple. Those who were ministering to the Lord could no longer stand in His presence for the manifested weight of His glory.

God manifested His glory through the fire that consumed their offerings, the fire on the mountain top,… before the tabernacle. It was so great that the people fell to their faces as the glory of the Lord appeared.

Exo40:34-35

(34) Then the cloud covered the tabernacle of meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
(35) And Moses was not able to enter the tabernacle of meeting, because the cloud rested above it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

Exo24:17 The sight of the glory of the LORD was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel

Lev 9:5-7

(5) So they brought what Moses commanded before the tabernacle of meeting. And all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD.
(6) Then Moses said, “This is the thing which the LORD commanded you to do, and the glory of the LORD will appear to you.”
(7) And Moses said to Aaron, “Go to the altar, offer your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself and for the people.

Lev 9:23-24

(23) And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of meeting, and came out and blessed the people. Then the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people,
(24) and fire came out from before the LORD and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. When all the people saw it, they shouted and fell on their faces.

In Rom3:23 we learn “that all have sinned, falling short of that glory of God”.

But that God has made a way through Christ to make know the mystery of this Glory.

It is Christ IN us.

Col 1:27

To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

He is the hope of glory to be revealed & made available to us as we are renewed, restored & re-united to heart of the Father.
For He has promised & in Him all His promises are YES & AMEN. For it will be for His glory!

2Co 1:20

For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.

ENCOURAGEMENT

The restoration of all things is at the heart of the Good News Gospel of Christ. The ultimate is the restoration of God’s bride, the church, her return to the majesty & the glory He intended for her.

In Christ we are part of that story! All that we are going through here & now, is part of that story that will end in His eternal promise of the restoration of all things that will culminate in HIS glory at the coming of Christ, the glorious Son of God and our Lord – Redeemer of All things.

Therefore,

Zep1:7 Be silent in the presence of the Lord GOD; For the day of the LORD is at hand, For the LORD has prepared a sacrifice; He has invited His guests.

Heb 9:24 For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

Act 3:19 Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

PRAYER

Father, we are encouraged by the knowing that Your glory, Your weighty presence, Your all-consuming fire, Your righteousness and Your redemption is drawing nigh.
That the sufferings, trials & challenges of this hour will all become part of the ‘burnt offerings’ of repentance for our sins, wave offerings of thanksgiving & praise for Your glory upon us.
In all reverence & humility we stand eager in waiting for the revealing of the sons/daughters of God.

We are attentive for Your VOICE to COMMAND our ways.
The testing of Your FIRE to purify us.
We embrace the JOY of the Lord that is our strength day by day. For we have witnessed your faithfulness in our lives.
Your PEACE that sustains us and give us rest as we belief.
We desire to discern Your WILL through the GUIDANCE of the Holy Spirit in each situation and moment.
We stand in awe of Your GLORY presence revealed now & forevermore.

We Love Your Lord. Thank You that You loved us first

Oh, where would we have been if it wasn’t for Your Love manifested to us through Your VOICE, PURIFYING FIRE, JOY, PEACE, YOUR WILL & GLORY.

Amen & Amen

107. Devotion – 5. The Guidance of God

Hallelujah Devotion – 5. The GUIDANCE of God

WE need the guidance of God every day, but do we truly focus to ASK for it?

As we experience the different obstacles, situations & challenges we often just go ahead without humbling ourselves in true dependency upon His lead. We often just do the next logic thing.

What if He had something to say, but we didn’t made the effort to ask intentionally?

We will sometimes just assume He will be there in any case. And yes, the Holy Spirit is with us all the way. But when we stop, right there in our tracks and pray specifically, the testimony of an answered prayer brings much glory to God & a great testimony to share with our fellow man.

Our walk with God & His walk with us implicate much needed SEEKING of Him in our daily lives. Our metaphoric ‘standing’ before Him in reverence & in kneeling before Him in utter dependence moves us to receive His wisdom. But He wants us to ask for it.

As we draw near in prayer at the feet of God, the preparation of our heart takes place. Our heart is here positioned & equipped in the strength & power of the Holy Spirit. He leads us with His Truth to instruct us & tell us about the things that is to come. Those things that He knows we will face tomorrow.

BUT, we have to make an effort not to only “just pray” as usual.

BUT to ASK with intention for His intervention & guidance. To pray with expectation.

And THEN..

As we acknowledge our need of Christ’s righteousness to position us aright before a Holy God the whole picture comes together. Our “footsteps become ordered by the Lord” and “He delights in our way”. (Ps37:23) At the feet of God we come to bow in an attitude of submission. And when we ask of Him to lead us on… It brings Him honour. For He truly delight in our seeking of HIm.

As we follow after Him, His footsteps will become the path on which we can walk to know that
He is leading us every step of the way. (Ps85:13)

SCRIPTURES:

Psa119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

Joh16:13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

Isa45:11 Thus says the LORD, The Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: “Ask Me of things to come concerning My sons; And concerning the work of My hands, you command Me.

Isa58:2 Yet they seek Me daily, And delight to know My ways, As a nation that did righteousness, And did not forsake the ordinance of their God. They ask of Me the ordinances of justice; They take delight in approaching God.

Mat7:7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

Last thought for ENCOURAGEMENT:

HE want us to ask intentionally & with expectancy that the Father may be glorified. It is not always about us. It is about His glory through our dependency, our need for guidance that it can realize for His glory.

Joh14:13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

PRAYER:

Father, we come to seek You; to encounter YOU & Your glory in the process.

We come to ask You for guidance and specific direction for each situation. We thank you that as we draw near Your Spirit will make a way in the wilderness,… guiding as we ask.
We ask that You will remind us continuously that Your guidance, wisdom and involvement is intentional to also bring You the glory & honour that You deserve.

Amen & amen

106. Devotion – 4. The PEACE of God – Truth or Fiction?

The PEACE of God

The PEACE of God give us REST for our souls:

The peace of God is the very state that God intended us to live in.

Num 25:12-13 ‘Behold, I give to him My covenant of peace;

Rom 14:17-19

(17)  for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
(18) For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.
(19) Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another.

PEACE relates

– to be safe (mind, body, or estate), to be completed, make amends, friendly, restoration & restitution.
When we have peace we are living in the realm of God’s TRUTH to live in His boundary of favour, welfare, happiness, prosperity & health.

As we pray God’s PEACE over a person or situation we bless and pray for these conditions to manifest.

Php 4:6-7

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Rom 16:20

And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly…

GOD’S REST refers to ‘settling down’:

We move by FAITH from focussing on the physical reality in front of us rather to BELIEF the TRUTH written in His Scriptures about our lives.

Heb 3:12-14

…lest there be in any of you an evil heart of UNBELIEF in DEPARTING from the living God;
but exhort one another daily,… lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our CONFIDENCE steadfast to the end,

Heb 3:18-19

And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not OBEY? So we see that they could not enter in because of UNBELIEF.

EXHORTATION

AS we look at the Scripture above (Heb3) it is clear which conditions will hamper or even completely stop us from living in God’s PEACE & cause us also NOT to enter into His REST.
“Hardened hearts”, “deceitfulness of sin”, disobedience, & ‘unbelief’ will cost us our rest in Him.

It says here that it is as if we have DEPARTED from God if we fall into the temptation of ‘unbelief’, to fear, worry; allowing stress or anxiousness to take hold of our hearts.

BUT, when we hold on to our confidence, obedience, FAITH & trust in God we are secured to stay in the unifying spirit of His PEACE – even in His BOND of PEACE

Eph 4:3 Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Col 3:14-15

But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

PRAYER & BLESSING

Father,

we belief in Your love for us.

We can only come to ask forgiveness where we have fallen trap, allowing the spirit of fear, doubt, confusion, unbelief & worry to take hold of our hearts.
We come and lay down every care & concern at the feet of Your cross.
Now to come in faith, letting go of unbelief. We embrace the bond of the peace of God that surpasses all understanding to guard our hearts

2Th 3:16

Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all.

Amen and Amen

105. Devotion 3. The JOY Of The Lord

Hallelujah Devotion – 3. The JOY Of The Lord

The Joy of The Lord Founded in Thankfulness

The JOY of the Lord is deeply rooted in our understanding and revelation of His faithfulness, goodness & unfailing love for us. This JOY blossoms even further when we tighten it to thankfulness! Thanksgiving & praise are the chorus lines of our anthems to our God & Saviour.

There is nothing that transpose us into the light, glory and fastened realization of HIS GOODNESS & GREATNESS as a heart attitude of thanksgiving. It immediately burst forth the JOY of the Lord in our spirit & changes the atmosphere over our doubting souls and troubled hearts. It brightens the day to receive & live in His JOY, peace & gladness in all circumstances.

Neh 8:10 …for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”

Psa 16:11 You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore

Psa 51:12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
(Jer15:16 Joy… For I am called by Your name)

Psa 126:5 Those who sow in tears Shall reap in joy. (Isa 61:3)

Joh 15:11 “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. (17:13 My joy fulfilled in themselves.)

Rom 14:17 for the kingdom is… righteousness, joy & peace in the Holy Spirit.

Heb 1:9, 12:2 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”

ENCOURAGEMENT

LET us therefore pursue to attain the Joy of the Lord that is given by His Spirit. As we trust, praise, give thanks & believe!

Oh, what JOY we find when our faith is rooted in the greatness of God, rather than allow temporary circumstances or the inadequacy of self to dictate & blind our view of His goodness and faithfulness – Him being GOD in & GOD for us.

PRAYER

Father,

we do come in deep realization that true JOY is only found in complete trust, hope & faith in You, yielding true strength to our souls. Thank you, that You are the author of JOY through the Agent of the Holy Spirit.
That we can be assured that even in our sorrows (Jas1:2, 1Th1:6, Heb12:11, 1Pe4:13) Your JOY, will spring forth.
That gladness & fulness of JOY is our constant hope in You to serve Your kingdom. For we are called the planting of the Lord – to live for You to be glorified through our joy filled lives.

We humbly receive the anointing of the oil of gladness as it was on Christ. Enabling us to face the challenges of this live & the trials we engage.

You gave us the fruit of joy to live from. We desire then to be presented in Your presence faultless with exceeding JOY, being kept from stumbling through Your mighty hand over us.

BLESSING

Rom 15:13

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Jud 1:24-25

…Him …able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, (25) To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever.

Amen.

104. Hallelujah Devotion – 2. The FIRE Of God

The FIRE Of God

The FIRE of God is the symbol of His Presence, His Power & Throne of Reign in Heaven

His manifested fire led the Israelites through the wilderness & sealed His covenant with Abraham. He received their offerings & showed His sovereignty to the Baal priests by His consuming fire.

The FIRE Of God Leads Us To FOLLOW Him.

    Deu 4:35-36 (Ex13:21)
    To you it was shown, that you might know that the LORD Himself is God; there is none other besides Him. (36) …that He might instruct you; on earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard His words out of the midst of the fire.

    He Baptizes Us With His Spirit & Holy Fire

    Not only unto repentance but for sanctification and the PRESENCE of His HOLY SPIRIT within us.

      Mat 3:11-12
      I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance,… He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

      God Tests Our Faith Through Trials Like Fire.

      God Knows Us Inside Out
      He tests the faith of His children by fiery trials for sonship. Yet ensures the glories that will follow our faithfulness in faith
      His purifying fire ensures our legitimacy as His sons & daughters.

        1Pe 1:6-11 (7)
        that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus (9) receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls.

        Job 23:10
        But He knows the way that I take; When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.
        Heb12:4-8 & 1Co 3:11-15

        HIs Fire IS Within US

        We ourselves feel the fire of God burning in our hearts when in His Presence
        Luk 24:32
        …said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?”

          ENCOURAGEMENT

          The fire of God GUIDES us through the desert places. Look out for His guidance through that fire & His peace within your heart. Look up to see the cloud by day & the pillar of fire that goes ahead of you in the darker days.

          Know that He receives each & every prayer, hear the cry of your heart & His Holy Fire purifies your hearts intent unto Himself.

          Prayer:

          Father,


          we bow in humble acknowledgment of Your Lordship, Your presence, Power & Sovereignty in our lives & in this world.
          Thank you, for the privilege to be guided by Your Holy fire within us. We take solace that You know how to deal, guide & strengthen us in every moment.

          Thank You for discipline, purifying testing of our faith so that we may reap the reward of Your glories at the end of the race.
          Thank you, that not one day, not one trial or moment of worldly sorrow will go to waste.
          You turn it all around for the glory of Your name in & through our lives and for the good of those who love You & called for Your purposes. (Rom8)

          Help us in these days to follow close after you that we may be worthy of Your grace bestowed, Your amazing love, patience, faithfulness, kindness and mercy.

          Realizing Your presence within, so close… in us.

          We love you and are forever thankful that you do not leave us the way we are, but love us enough to temper us to gold – by Your fire, even the burning deep within us.

          Eph 2:10
          For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

          Amen & amen

          Lev 9:23-24. 1Pe 4:12-13. Mal 4:1-2

          103. Hallelujah Devotion 1 – The Voice Of The Lord

          Hallelujah Devotion – 1. The Voice Of The Lord 11.5.2026

          The VOICE of the Lord keeps all of creation & harken us to OBEY Him.

          His voice is inside us. It is a clear, firm, precise yet a much comforting sound. His sheep hears His voice. His voice is authoritive, to heal at His command & to guide and at its resound the earth trembles.
          Jeremiah 38:20 Please, obey the voice of the LORD which I speak to you. So, it shall be well with you, and your soul shall live.

          We are to adhere to His commandments

          Deu 13:18 …you have listened to the voice of the LORD your God, to keep all His commandments which I command you today, to do what is right in the eyes of the LORD your God.

          We cannot miss His voice unless we keep on talking

          If we do not quite down to listen, our own/many words, often spoken out of fear, self-absorption, duty or familiarity in praying will easily take over.
          His voice is strong & clear enough to override our own thinking – to keep us on the right track & out of harm’s way.

          The Voice of God created all things. It Shields us.

          It commands the dear to give birth. Its power breaks the cedars & split the trees in pieces. It dismantles strongholds & bring mountains down.
          Joe 3:16 The LORD also will roar from Zion, And utter His voice from Jerusalem; The heavens and earth will shake; But the LORD will be a shelter for His people, And the strength of the children of Israel.

          The VOICE of the Lord Commands

          It opens up, halt and shakes up the heavens & the earth with His might- to make known to all mankind that He is God.

          As we speak to the mountain before us, we speak, “Grace! Grace!”, it will be destroyed. For the voice of the Lord has resounded into the atmosphere… and created to perform His will!
          Zec 4:6-7 (6) ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the LORD of hosts. (7) ‘Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone With shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”

          The voice of the Lord instructs us to possess what is His, for His kingdom & for His glory

          Deu 9:23 Likewise, when the LORD sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, ‘Go up and possess the land which I have given you,’ then you rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and you did not believe Him nor obey His voice.

          God’s Voice is penetrating & powerful

          Rev 14:2 And I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder.
          LET us therefore, decide to listen for that gentle voice deep within, that WILL guide and help us beyond our own feeble attempts to guide ourselves.

          Heb 4:11-13

          (11) Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.
          (12) For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
          (13) And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

          His deep, still sure voice within us, is so much easier to follow than our own disruptive reasoning, troublesome excuse-giving or multi-facetted arguments, in following our own narrative. It brings peace, joy & rest.

          Also, in these days it will be crucial to discern His voice from the voice of deception of the evil one in the world. Let us therefore encourage each other and also seek to reach out to the lost… Heb 3:15 “TODAY, IF YOU WILL HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS AS IN THE REBELLION.”

          Prayer

          Father, we come to you in utmost dependency to obey & to trust in intimate surrender to your voice.
          We pray that You will help & guide us to DISCERN our own fleshly thinking, stubbornness and/or pre-conceived ideas, preferences or opinions that so easily lead us astray.

          We want to adhere to your gentle nudge through your Holy Spirit’s leading. Through the Spirit of peace & the silent unction in our hearts we want to obey You through the words of knowledge, wisdom, discerning of spirits & follow you in the reverential fear & intimate awe.

          Amen & Amen

[29] You shall have a song As in the night when a holy festival is kept, And gladness of heart as when one goes with a flute, To come into the mountain of the Lord, To the Mighty One of Israel. [30] The Lord will cause His glorious voice to be heard, And show the descent of His arm, With the indignation of His anger And the flame of a devouring fire, With scattering, tempest, and hailstones.

          99. Passover in 2026

          The Meaning of Passover in 2026 and where it takes us

          The Meaning of Passover in 2026 viewed in the light of our current world, country & social environment. Where does it take you & me? What is our role to play in this crucial hour that we are living in?

          The Passover of The Lord

          Scripture Reading – Exo 12:11-17

          (11) And thus you shall eat it: with a belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. So you shall eat it in haste. It is the LORD’s Passover.
          (12) ‘For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.

          (13) Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
          (14) ‘So this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to the LORD throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance.

          (15) Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven from your houses. For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel.
          (16) On the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation for you. No manner of work shall be done on them; but that which everyone must eat—that only may be prepared by you.

          (17) So you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this same day I will have brought your armies out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as an everlasting ordinance.

          The Passover Sacrifice has been remembered for 2026 years.

          The middle piece of the Matzah Bread has been “hidden” for a brief moment and “found” again.

          For us this means He has risen! He is alive! He lives! Christ has overcome death and hell! He holds the keys of hades in His hands.

          After three days the Risen Lamb of God showed Himself to the world! He walked amongst men and touched their hearts afresh!

          The whole universe now had to acknowledge and acclaim, ‘He is the Son of God”!
          Documented in history books and centuries’ old renowned scrolls. For us to become part of this as the Truth is alive, for all to know. To “taste and see that the Lord is good”. (Ps34)

          Personal Faith

          Therefore, for those whose heart’s have been opened, this faith in the only Son of God, is very intentional and personal.

          For this Son has been sent. To become flesh and bone. The Lamb who was slain was The Last Adam Who was send by the Father to redeem each – and also this, living soul from hell.
          From the destruction the world so gladly offers us on the silver plate of deception, false peace and temporary happenings to alude happiness.

          We have been redeemed through this message of eternal salvation through One Truth, God’s only Son!

          Brought from death to eternal life. We have been given the Answer to brokenness, shame and guilt, deep within our souls. Our minds are being renewed constantly.

          In our mouths we have been given the two-edged sword to bring hope, declare victory and announce the Kingdom of God is at hand!

          Enter Through the Door of Passover – Where to now in 2026

          ‘The world in chaos”, is an understatement.

          We see this, but we are not deterred from our mission. Our souls get weary but we know that “man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord”. (Deut 8v3)

          Our strength does not come from flesh, but our resilience is by “life in the Spirit”. (Rom 8)
          By the life that’s is in the BLOOD shed for us. (Lev 17v11)

          Take up our posts at the 8 GATES of society:

          Family (all relations), Faith, Government, Education, Economy, Science and Technology, Arts & Culture, Media

          Through our Prayer@the-Gates we gather by one Spirit, one faith and one baptizm. Standing our guard and choosing our weapon of PRAYER; contemplation, seeking His face, petitions, groanings and fasting in His presence according to the Holy Spirit lead.

          As Christ spoke, and went forth , only did the Father’s bidding as He saw the Father moved, so we are led by the Holy Spirit. Not to move, speak or do out of our own wisdom or familiar ways.
          But as He leads us. This takes the responsibility from our weak flesh and comfort us in the sole reliance on His grace, wisdom and council as we start counting our days.

          Be ENCOURAGED By this Passover massage in this moment in time

          Your redemption is drawing nigh. The Captain of the Hosts of Heaven is ready to fulfill His Father’s call.

          Let us bring into remembrance the Salvation He brought for Israel at the Red Sea

          Scripture Reading – Exo 14:13-16

          (13) And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.
          (14) The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”
          (15) And the LORD said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward.
          (16) But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.

          Lift Up His Banner Stretch Forth The Sword in Your Hand.

          We are here to hoist up the Banner of His presence in every place we enter. He is Yehovah Nissi, His banner over us is Love!
          We have the immense, unfathomable privilege of knowing Him by revelation.
          Not only knowledge, but having experiential knowledge by FAITH.

          This faith is in a Living God, the Only true God. Who can acclaim to be named, the Creator, only Saviour. El Shaddai the One Who exists to fulfill the redemption of all of creation.

          The Logos of His Word has become Rhema in our hearts. If you once knew the Truth, never to let go.

          The choice to choose the Truth, He has kindly left into the free will of each living soul.

          Take up the Armor of The Lord and Be Divinely Clothed In His Might

          Therefore, let us take up the Armor of God (Ef 6), stand guard at the post of our own hearts, loved ones and society.

          Ephesians 6:10, 13 NKJV

          [10] Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
          [13] Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

          We have the answer. We know how the story ends.

          Our God has come to bring us life, and that in abundance.

          Let us open our lips and pray!

          I pray that God may keep and bestow upon you the revelation of His power, love and sound wisdom to guide you in all He has for and has placed IN you.

          98. Reverential Awe & Fear of God -Prayer Pointers

          Reverential Awe & Fear of God

          Focus : Intentional Submission – A Time for Reverence, Consecration & Yielding as we draw closer in reverential awe & fear of God.
          Personal Aim : Revering Him to Whom all Glory’s due
          Expectation : Being changed into His glory, one prayer at a time – for His kingdom come in me 1st.
          Kingdom Goal : The Testimony of Christ to impact the whole of society; through our lives [thoughts, words & actions].
          In true submission for His Name be Glorified & revered.
          Hear O, Israel / South Africa / House of ‘David’… / Child of God …: The Lord is the only One true God.

          What is PRAYER ?

          Prayer is a truthful encounter between a sinful, humble soul
          And a HOLY, compassionate, loving GOD. For Him. Unto Him.
          As we are graced in Christ. Praying His Word back to Him. @T
          “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know” – Jeremiah 33:3

          “Thoughts and reasonings may be like the steel wedges that may open a way into truth, but prayer is the lever that forces open the iron chest of sacred mystery. There are the common frames of repentance and faith, but there is also an upper realm of rapture, communion, and conscious union with Christ. All believers see Christ, but not all believers put their fingers into the prints of the nails. Not all have the privilege of leaning upon Jeshua’s bosom or being caught up into the third heaven.“
          From: Prayer’s Golden Key – Charles Spurgeon

          Intro : Eternal life is to know God

          John 17:3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

          Who is this God we revere? God identifies Himself as:

          Exo 3:13-14 And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.”….
          ‘ I AM has sent me to you.”
          Rev 22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and
          the End, the First and the Last.”
          Rev 21:6-8 I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to
          him who thirsts. Jh 9:5 I am the light of the world…

          1. EXALT God in Thanksgiving. ACKNOWLEDGE Who HE is

          Isa 43:10 “You are My witnesses,” says the LORD, “And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me.
          Rev 1:18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. And I have the keys of Hades & of Death.

          THANK Him for His name that is above every other name, For Christ’s obedience to the Father, to suffer for us…to overcame sin & death… that in Him we may have eternal life, living in His presence & have joy forevermore.

          2. TODAY is the day to make right with God

          Today when you hear His voice, do not resist the Holy Spirit. Today is the day of an opportunity to forgive, come clean, repent & turn from our wicked ways.
          Today we also stand in the gap – in repentance, for this perverse generation.
          To ask God to forgive us & save this nation.

          Heb 3:15 “TODAY, If You Will Hear His Voice, Do Not Harden Your Hearts As In The Rebellion.”
          Psa 95:7 For He is our God, And we are the people of pasture, And the sheep of His hand. TODAY, if you will hear His voice.

          Declare your willingness to hear God speak to you.

          3. HUMBLE yourself in the presence of God in reverential awe & fear of the great I am

          Jas 4:6 But He gives more grace. …”GOD RESISTS THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.”

          1Pe 5:5-6

          Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “GOD RESISTS THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.”
          (6) Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,

          Choose to humble yourself before God. He is your Creator. He knows you. He holds your life & eternity in His hand. Choose to revere Him in awestruck fear & wonder.

          4. Understand the CONSEQUENCES of sin and rejecting true conversion to Christ by His blood shed for us.

          ASK God to sanctify you in the washing of His Word.
          God is not mocked. Faith in God is not part of a ritual or game on the stages of the world’s idols & cultures.
          His Word is the final authority over all life & creation.

          Rev 21 : 7-8

          (7) He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be My son. (8) But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

          Joh 17:17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.

          5. REPENT now for SINS, transgressions, trespasses &
          iniquities, own beliefs. Allow the Spirit to convict you:

          lies, deception, hypocrisy, manipulation, corruption, theft…

          Rom 3:20-24

          (20) Therefore… no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin. (21) But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, (22) to all who believe…
          (23) for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, (24) being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

          Many who call themselves Christian, are worshipping
          their own ideology of God and not what the Scriptures teach.

          6. Bring all TEMPTATIONS before Him.

          Many temptations come through an open door of/from a WRONG belief system, wrong nurturing habits and / or empty human imparted traditions that one follow blindly, without asking a very important question, ” Why am I doing this? Why is this habit/tradition/belief in my life? What familiar spirit is attached to it?

          What is the spirit behind my thinking, my words & actions?

          Which spirit drives me? Which part of me – my spirit, soul or body controls my life? Has my spirit been reborn in the Spirit of God, – the Holy Spirit who desires to live & abide within me? Who has created me with a cavity that can only be filled by Him. All other spirits will be part of my demise & left me feel empty, unfulfilled, tormented and dissatisfied with all things pertaining to this world, life & ignorant or irreverent of the life hereafter, which is our eternal destiny either in hell or ruling and reigning with Christ from heaven.

          Examples of temptations that come to us – sometimes unnoticeable:

          Depression (often linked to strife or a spirit of perfectionism).

          Instead we should embrace the Truth (He is a Person), that we will only reach or achieve in this life our full potential and become who we desire to be with the excellence that we find in & through a Holy Spirit led relationship with the Father and His Son, Yeshua Hamashiach (Jesus Christ of Nazareth). The One Who created you, is the One Who also wrote the manual for your personally & for your life.

          Unbelief, shame, soulish regret (instead of truthful remorse for or sins),

          Idolatry (money, prestige, fame, possessions, positions), lust of the flesh…

          Mar 7:6-13

          (6) ‘this people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. (7) and in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ (8) for laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men… (13) making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down.

          ASK God to forgive this & remove the bondage from your soul

          7. REPENT of UNBELIEF, not trusting God, unholy fear, and of ‘self’

          Fears often originate from misplaced pride leading to a superior spirit (expecting and/or thinking of ourself higher). Hypocrisy, perfectionism, self-preservation & self-realization causes often inferiority, unrealistic pressure & anxiety.

          Instead: Trust & yield to God.

          The One who desire to manifests Himself through the gifts of the Holy Spirit – as He chooses in/through you/Body of Christ.
          For the glory of His name, His kingdom, His church.
          Fear of man, fear of lack, fear of death, insignificance in this life, harm, failure, destitute, false humility… often lead to overprotection of ourself, distrusting God to keep us.

          8. REPENT of all forms of SELF-PITY, lack of worth, allowing rejection to identify us.

          Not accepting ourself. Not appreciating how God made us. Not embracing God who lives in us therefore, striving with God & man.

          1Jn 4:16-21

          (16) we have known & believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. (18) There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

          We should love ourselves & others as ourselves:

          Heb 12:14 Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.

          Also, peace in yourself.

          9. Stand in the gap for your BLOODLINE, TRIBE & CULTURE

          Mal 2:2
          If you will not hear, if you will not take it to heart, To give glory to My name,” Says the LORD of hosts, “I will send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings. I have cursed them already, Because you do not take it to heart.

          Sever yourself (break away) from all ungodly altars: ancestral, demonic, unrighteous / idolatrous beliefs, cultural customs, organizations, religious actions / deeds.

          Rev3:5 He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, & I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; I will confess his name before My Father, before His angels.

          10. RECEIVE His complete FORGIVENESS through the sacrificial death of Christ in our place on the cross.

          Through the power of His own blood, we are set free.

          Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit
          Heb 9:28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.

          Heb 12:24-25 (24)… you have come to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel. No other bloodshed /sacrifice is needed!

          11. By faith receive & DECLARE what God says ABOUT YOU

          Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
          Eph 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
          2Co 12:9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.

          I am fearfully and wonderfully made. If God declared me whole, healed, forgiven, blessed & favoured… I should not diminish His truth. I should agree with His words over me.

          Psa 139:13-18

          (13)  For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb.
          (14)  I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.
          (15)  My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

          (16)  Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.
          (17)  How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!
          (18)  If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You.

          12. CONFESS JESUS (Jeshua Hamashiach) as your LORD

          Open the door of your heart afresh. Invite Him into ALL doors, rooms & areas of your life in utmost trust, faith & dependency upon Him. Nothing is hidden from His sight.

          Isa 57:15 For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:
          “I dwell in the high and holy place, With him who has a contrite and humble spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
          2Co 6:2 For He says: “in an acceptable time I have heard you, and in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

          13. ASSURANCE of Salvation

          Understand that assurance of your salvation is based on Scripture, NOT on how you feel or based on your emotions or the circumstances in your life.

          Rom 10:13 Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Joh 1:12-13 (12) But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: (13) who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but born of God.

          1Jn 4:2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

          Rom 5:1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

          14. KNOW what is the Father’s MISSION through HIS SON

          To restore all mankind back into the Father’s love

          Joh 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
          Joh 15:9 “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.

          To show us the Father. To know God into eternity

          1Jn 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

          To restore us in the glory through His covenant in Jesus Christ. He gave us all things. He builds His church.

          2Pe 1:2-4
          (2) Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
          (3) as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,
          (4) by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

          15. Receive His HOLY SPIRIT for the REBIRTH of your spirit

          He knows you. By the spirit of truth, the Father & Son live inside you & abide in you & He leads us in His truth.

          Joh 3:3-5 (3) “I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (5) unless born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
          Joh 4:17,20-21,23 We will come… and make Our home with him.
          Eph 5:26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,
          1Th 5:23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

          Ask God to continue the process of sanctification in you.

          16. Choose & Confess LIVING by the SPIRIT within you

          Gal 5:16-21

          (16) I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. (17) For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. (18) But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

          (19)Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,(20) idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, (21)envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like;… those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

          17. UNDERSTAND Who the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ is:

          Isa 11:2 The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him,
          The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.

          Gal 5:22-26

          (22) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, (23) gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. (24) And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. (25) If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. (26) Let us not become conceited (vain), provoking one another, envying one another.

          18. EMBRACE Who this Christ is Whom we revere?

          Isa 9:6-7

          (6) For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
          (7) Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end,… To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

          Rev 1:8 “I am… “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

          The Lord Yeshua Hamashiach is the Prince of peace.

          19. KNOW WHO IS this GOD that we revere & worship through His NAMES?

          Adonai – The Lord, owner & Master of all I am & have.

          Elohim – The Creator. My strong tower, my unshakable refuge. My Father, the Son & Holy Spirit. One God. 3 in 1.
          El Elyon – God Most High. You are Sovereign. Ruler of the universe. You establish everything. You alone give us purpose & destiny – unto You, for You, through & in You.
          El Roi – The God who sees. You know my destiny, my future. My sins are not hidden from you. You turn all things around for good. You will vindicate me. I seek & trust You.

          El Shaddai – God Almighty. You pour forth blessings
          temporal & eternal. My comforter, unconditional lover of my
          soul. My very present help. My God holding me close.

          Immanuel – God with us

          Yehovah – I Am That I Am

          Yehovah Shalom – The Lord is Peace. He always has an answer. He is the answer to my every path & need.

          87. Hallelujah Devotional Nr 6 & 7 – Attributes of the Blood of Christ & the Spirit of God

          JUNE 1 Sun 2025

          The Blood PROVIDES & the Spirit SEALS the complete redemptive plan of God to mankind.

          A> ATTRIBUTES of THE BLOOD OF CHRIST

          The BLOOD of CHRIST has :

          (1) REDEMPTIVE power,
          (2) PURIFYING & Cleansing power.
          (3) It gives LIFE to the soul to bring forth
          (4) WORKS by FAITH.

          Heb 9:14

          How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

          (5) It RECONCILES all things back unto God Himself and
          (6) Restore PEACE in our relationship with God & man
          (7) SANCTIFIES us unto
          (8) RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ.
          (9) It restores BOLDNESS to come near to God’s throne of Grace to obtain mercy.

          (1Jh 1:7, Col 1:20, Eph 2:13, Heb 4:16, Heb10:19-22 – See below)

          And of this the Holy Spirit is the witness to us of that sanctification & redemptive power of the Blood.

          Heb 10:14-15

          14. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
          15. Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us…
          Of the new & gracious covenant now written upon our hearts and sealed by the blood.

          (10) The BLOOD has OVERCOMING power. (Rev12:11)

          Rev 12:11

          (11) And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

          B> THE HOLY SPIRIT AS GUARANTEE OF OUR ETERNAL INHERITANCE IN CHRIST

          The Holy Spirit is the guarantee of our eternal inheritance through the righteousness of Christ that we received by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit unto us.

          Surely this is the part of the Kingdom of God that we supernaturally receive as we receive Christ into our hearts.
          He did not leave us without His presence. He deposited His Spirit within.
          He gave gifts of Himself for us to execute His kingdom’s mighty plans.

          He gave us Christ’s FIVEFOLD GIFTS, wanting to present and equip us through the FULNESS of Christ. If we leave any of these ATTRIBUTES of GOD – of His Christ – out of the faith experience we are giving the church & the world out there “half a Christ”
          The Spirit is the promise of the Father fulfilled.

          SCRIPTURES on the HOLY SPIRIT AS GUARANTEE

          2Co 1:20-22

          (20) For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.
          (21) Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God,
          (22) who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

          2Co 5:5-7

          (5) Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. (7) For we walk by faith, not by sight.

          Luk 24:49

          (49) Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.” (Act 1:4-5)

          Act 1:4-5

          (4) And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me;
          (5) for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

          Act 2:32-33

          (32) This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses.
          (33) Therefore, being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear.

          Eph 1:13-14

          (13) In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
          (14) who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

          Epaggelia – Guarantee (Thayer’s Greek Lexicon)

          1) announcement
          2) promise
          2a) the act of promising, a promise given or to be given
          2b) a promised good or blessing

          Rev 12:10

          Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.

          This complete narrative is typified by the Passover, as we are granted to go from death to life in His deliverance from eternal damnation through the perfect sacrificial offering of God’s Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth & the sending of His Spirit as our Helper until the Promise of the Father reveals the living Christ here & now at His second coming.

          PRAYER

          Father,

          Words fail us to thank & love you enough! How we love You! How we worship & adore You with everything within us. For truly there is nothing more that You we desire, but You.

          Our cup runneth over. You have anointed us with Your oil of gladness. Our hearts overflow with a good theme, reciting a love song concerning our King. We will make known Your name to be remembered by all generations. The people will praise You forever & ever.

          (Ps 45 – See below)

          “For Yours is the Kingdom, The Power & the Glory, For EVER & EVER.
          AMEN & AMEN !!!”

          Thank you family of God!

          What a great privilege to love & serve our God together in a time like this; in this very late hour.

          Praying a blessing over you:

          Rom 15:13

          Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

          ADDITIONAL SCRIPTURES:

          1Jn 1:7

          (7) But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

          Col 1:19-22

          (19) For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell,
          (20) and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.
          (21) And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled
          (22) in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight—

          Eph 2:13-14

          (13) But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
          (14) For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation,

          Heb 4:14-16

          (14) Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
          (15) For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
          (16) Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

          Heb 10:19-24

          (19) Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,
          (20) by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,
          (21) and having a High Priest over the house of God,
          (22) let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
          (23) Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
          (24) And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,

          Psa 45:1-8

          (1) To the Chief Musician. Set to “The Lilies.” A Contemplation of the Sons of Korah. A Song of Love. My heart is overflowing with a good theme; I recite my composition concerning the King; My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
          (2) You are fairer than the sons of men; Grace is poured upon Your lips; Therefore God has blessed You forever.

          (3) Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O Mighty One, With Your glory and Your majesty.
          (4) And in Your majesty ride prosperously because of truth, humility, and righteousness; And Your right hand shall teach You awesome things.
          (5) Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the King’s enemies; The peoples fall under You.
          (6) Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

          (7) You love righteousness and hate wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.
          (8) All Your garments are scented with myrrh and aloes and cassia, Out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made You glad.

          Rev 1:4-8

          (4)  John, to the seven churches which are in Asia:

          Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne,

          (5)  and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood,

          (6)  and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

          (7)  Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.

          (8)  “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

          WHAT WILL GOD’S KINGDOM RELATE TO HERE ON EARTH?

          The kingdom of God pertains to, incorporates & involves many things.

          WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD?

          The kingdom of God is wherever God reigns

          1Co 4:20 

          For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power.

          The Kingdom has laws, precepts, principles & standards for just living

          1Th 2:12 

          that you would walk worthy of God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.

          2Th 1:5 

          that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer;

          Heb 12:28 

          Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.

          It pertains to His Christ, coming again to seal the reward of those found in Him.

          He made us kings & priests to HIs God. To Him be the glory

          It is a kingdom where some will SEE the Kingdom of God, some will ENTER it, and some will INHERIT the kingdom of God – the new Jerusalem.

          Joh 3:3 

          Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot SEE the kingdom of God.”

          Mat 7:21 

          “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall ENTER the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

          Luk 18:17 

          Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means ENTER it.”

          Mar 10:24 

          “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to ENTER the kingdom of God!

          Joh 3:5 

          Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot ENTER the kingdom of God.

          Act 14:22 

          strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, “We must through many tribulations ENTER the kingdom of God.”

          Mat 25:34 

          Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

          1Co 6:9-10

          Do you not know that the unrighteous will not INHERIT the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,  

          nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will INHERIT the kingdom of God.

          1Co 15:50 

          Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot INHERIT the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.

          PRAYER

          Father,

          in this time we come to you in all humility, brokenness in spirit, with contrite hearts and clean hands because of the Blood of the Lamb of God, washing us. We pray that we will be led by Your Spirit to obey unto inheritance of the covenant promises of Your kingdom. By grace we are born of the water & Spirit.

          We come tonight to be reminded of Your complete work on the cross & the power of redemption to be shared with this broken world. May we never falter to lift You up, confess You boldly & not shun away where we are rejected or ridiculed for Your name’s sake.

          Amen & amen.

          “By Grace there we go”

          The Kingdom of God is ruled & founded on Christ’s righteousness attained by faith in Him.

          Heb 1:8 But to the Son He says: “YOUR THRONE, O GOD, IS FOREVER AND EVER;
          A SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE SCEPTER OF YOUR KINGDOM.

          “What you believe about righteousness will affect your heart more than any other thing you believe!” (Richards, 1993)

          The most dangerous thing is the truth we believe that’s bended to suit our own preferences.

          God is a God of righteousness.

          To understand righteousness, we can look at understanding light. As light is bended, it changes, and the different colors are revealed.

          That is what often happens with the Word of God. As it comes into our own hearts as pure light, “A Lamp unto my feet”, – a heart contaminated with prejudice, tradition, hurt or deceit can turn that very truth into something completely different.
          In this world we are also subject to so many lies, half-truths & deception – for us then to be extra vigilant to guard our hearts.

          What you believe about righteousness will determine whether the Word of God will work in your life unto the power of God, salvation & righteous living.

          Rom 1:16-17

          (16) For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes…
          (17) For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.”

          Rom 1:18-23

          (18) For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
          (19) because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. (20) For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

          (21) because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
          (22) Professing to be wise, they became fools,
          (23) and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

          FAITH in the Gospel is the Power of God Unleashed in Our Lives

          The power of God works through the gospel of Christ.
          Therefore, if I believe the gospel correctly, the power of God should be evident in my life. “If the power if God is not evident in my life, I must examine my version of the gospel.” (Richards, 1993)

          1Co 1:30

          (30) But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption—

          WE MUST JUST BELIEVE

          The gospel that we believe reveals the righteousness of Christ in our lives, from faith to faith – not faith to work harder on your own righteousness.
          Christ obtained righteousness by faith.

          If faith is not founded in Christ’s righteousness – the Good News Gospel is possibly thwarted in our believe-doctrine, and still subject to law & works unto faith.

          Christ is our righteousness unto salvation.
          Start trusting in your righteousness in Christ alone.
          No works or abiding to laws & customs can attain that. The law was only the safety net unto salvation. My own righteousness is fatal, for it cancels grace. (Gal2:21)

          [Extracts from GRACE -The power to Change. J. Richards. Paraphrased/quoted]

          Gal 2:20-21

          (20) I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God , who loved me and gave Himself for me.
          (21) I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.”

          Php 3:9

          (9) and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

          PRAYER:

          Our Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of our Holy Father – How we love You & thank You for salvation, redemption & sanctification through You righteousness as we come to believe – faith to faith – in Your Good news gospel.

          Thank You, that we can surrender completely unto YOUR righteousness, not having to pursue any in our own. You are our sole Mediator unto eternal redemption and the power of the Gospel in & through us.

          Hallelujah. 1000 praises to You alone!

          Amen & amen.

          84. Devotional – Y-hw-h Y-r-h – The Lord will Provide

          MAY29 Thu 2025 Hallelujah Devotional 3 – Focusing on the Attributes of God

          TODAY we celebrate the ASCENSION of our Lord Jesus Christ. His ascension provided for us the assurance of a High Priest at the right hand of the Father Who intercedes for us constantly & the evidence of a Helper that is with us to help us in every area of life.

          Luk 24:49-53

          (49) Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”
          (50) And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.
          (51) Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven.
          (52) And they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
          (53) and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. Amen.

          YAHWEH-JIREH – THE LORD WILL PROVIDE BY HIS SPIRIT

          “GIVE us this day our daily bread” – for our daily spiritual & physical needs.

          Mat 6:6-8
          (8) For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.

          PRAYER:

          FATHER, You know what we need to sustain our body & soul’s for this day.
          We receive our healing for today from You right now.
          We receive the provision, the protection, the favour, the wisdom & blessing that You bestow upon us for this day.
          Tomorrow we will come again and receive from Your hand & goodness enough for each new day.

          THANK You, Lord. Your mercies are new every morning. Not one day You have failed us.

          Jos 23:14

          “Behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth. And you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spoke concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one word of them has failed.

          PRAYER:

          FORGIVE us that we seek assurance of Your faithfulness in the figure in our bank account or the report from human sources instead of believing that You will never fail us.
          According to Your promises, Your plans, Your purposes & Your complete & perfect will, You have already instructed our pathways & destiny as we follow You.

          Psa 16:5-9

          (5) O LORD, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You maintain my lot.
          (6) The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance.
          (7) I will bless the LORD who has given me counsel; My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
          (8) I have set the LORD always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
          (9) Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will rest in hope.

          THANK YOU, Lord for the gift of repentance and the forgiveness of sins. That You forgive us, as we forgive others.

          Luk 24:46-47

          (46) Then He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,
          (47) and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

          PRAYER:

          FATHER, we confess tonight that according to Your word a lack of forgiveness, unbelief & repentance blocks access to the kingdom & its marvelous power.

          (Matt. 6:5-15; Mark 11:22-26)
          We come to cleanse our hearts of all fear, bitterness, doubt & unbelieve.

          In Jesus name we pray

          Amen
          Grace 2 you

          83. Devotional – God as Creator & King

          Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. Rev 14:14

          Hallelujah Devotional nr2 – Focusing on the Attributes of God

          God as Creator & King with a Kingdom

          His kingdom is not of this world (Jh 18:36). It is an everlasting kingdom (2Pet1:11) and a kingdom residing in the hearts of His creation (Luk17:21)

          Satan also attempts to live & take hold of the souls of a man. But man does not belong to him, for they are not His idea or has not been CREATED by him. Man & all created things belong to God… and yet He has given us the freedom to choose Him as our God.

          Joh 18:36

          (36) Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.”

          2Pe 1:8-12

          (8) For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
          (9) For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.
          (10) Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble;
          (11) for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
          (12) For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth.

          Luk 17:20-21

          (20) Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation;
          (21) nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”

          WHAT DO WE THEN ACTUALLY ASK IF WE PRAY THAT “HIS KINGDOM COME”?

          “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done “ refers to God being all powerful in reign, rule, dominion, council & counsel…

          “ON earth As It Is In Heaven“ refers to His dominion & authority that surpasses & includes all realms, territories, cosmic, angelic, atmospheric & celestial spheres.

          THE more of God’s kingdom principles that are evident in our lives, the more of His kingdom rule will have an effect on us personally & therefore effect our daily decisions & way of living.

          Therefore, the principles that God has intended for us to live by, will have a direct effect in our daily living, work, relationships, health, welfare & well-being especially as it is just founded in the worship of God, in relation with the One who CREATED us.

          A lot of people are more busy seeking the kingdom of the world than the Kingdom of God. Even just the normal activities of life lure us consciously & subconsciously to be “80/20” busy with the business of life.

          1. BUT God’s heart for His special covenant people was one of blessing through relationship – His Kingdom principles applied:

          Exo 19:5-6

          (5) Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.
          (6) And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”

          2. HIS weighty presence & glory is here to touch & reside in us – HIs Kingdom presence within:

          WHEN God speaks, instructs & teach His kingdom principles to His kingdom people here on earth, there is evidence of His weighty presence. We cannot mistake His presence for a light, obscure co-incidence of natural forces.

          Exo 19:9-11

          (9) And the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I come to you in the thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever.” …
          (10) Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes. (11) And let them be ready…

          When was the last time that you felt the weightiness of His presence touch you? Do you give God time to invade your space & time… to touch you here in this physical realm with HIs presence? Do you wait long enough on Him so His presence can fill you with His glory & peace that surpasses all understanding in all your trials, tribulations, through your many questions and earthly experiences?

          When last did you allow Him to instruct you as you tolerated the season of cleansing, waiting, discipline, being changed… only in Him.

          PRAYER:

          FATHER,

          tonight we honour You as our great King. We ask that You help us by Your Holy Spirit to obey, to walk in the precepts, laws & guiding principles of Your kingdom. For then we will surely live from that place of intimacy & peace in the presence – within the boundary of the blessing of our King.
          WE pray that You will move us to seek Your presence, be consecrated to You alone & ready to meet with You daily, waiting… until we are changed in the GLORY-PRESENCE of who You are & changed by Your HOLINESS.

          82. Meditations & Devotion – Attributes of God

          27 MAY 2025 Hallelujah Devotional – Focusing on the Attributes of God

          This week we will focus on a few of the Attributes of God in the light of our Lord’s Prayer.

          Good evening Precious Hallelujah Family, Prayer @ the Gates Partners & Fellows.

          1000 Praises to His Name. Hallelujah!

          It is a great privilege again to be part in sharing these Devotions unto our Lord.

          If there is one thing that keeps our faith going from strength to strength it will be through heartfelt thanksgiving to God for having Him as the eternal, only true God, our Creator, Father, Savior & perfect Redeemer in our lives.

          Introduction

          SO many of us, even soaked & mature Christians still try to navigate our personal areas in life on our own. WE still attempt to make the bank account balance on our own, or to restore the relationship with a spouse, loved one or co-worker all by human effort. We attempt to keep ourselves happy & healthy by often fanatically employing our limited knowledge of & to the systems of this world, the complex highs & lows of human souls and/or the intricate complexity of the human body… in mentioning a few areas of life.

          IT goes without saying that we, ourselves have definitely a major role to play in taking responsibility for our own lives and work out our salvation with fear & trembling… every decision count, the consequences thereof we will bare… and the list goes on.

          YET, there has to come a point when we realize that ‘when it is all said & done’… it is in our trusting, in faith in God alone, in hope, in believing, in our going ‘In Christ’ that we truly live & have our being. It is in the Presence & through the guidance of His Holy Spirit we live.

          IN Deuteronomy it says,: “that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD”. Deut 8: (3)

          SCRIPTURES:

          As the Ecclesiast meditates in Ecclesiastes 5 & Ecclesiastes 9…

          Ecc 5:2

          Do not be rash with your mouth, And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; Therefore let your words be few.

          Ecc 5:19-20

          (19) As for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, and given him power to eat of it, to receive his heritage and rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God. (20) For he will not dwell unduly on the days of his life, because God keeps him busy with the joy of his heart.

          Ecc 9:7-10

          (7) Go, eat your bread with joy,… For God has already accepted your works.
          (8) Let your garments always be white, And let your head lack no oil.
          (9) Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your vain life which He has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity; for that is your portion in life, and in the labor which you perform under the sun. (10) Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might;…

          Psa 42:11

          (11) Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? HOPE in God; For I shall yet PRAISE Him, The help of my countenance and my God.

          MESSAGE for DEVOTION:

          THEREFORE, as we pray tonight, let us think what this prayer is all about & what are we actually saying…

          1. Our Father who art in heaven:

          Father , we acknowledge that you are loving, compassionate & caring. You are all knowing, above all earthly restrains, limitations & boundaries. That You hold it all in Your hands and will perform Your will through Your mighty right arm.

          2. Hallowed be Thy name:

          Your Name & Your Word are above all things created.

          3. By addressing God as “Our Father….”, we allow ourselves then to become:

          3.1 Dependent upon His LOVE – His love is the only resource that will completely satisfy, replenish, restore, heal, refresh & revive you in spirit, soul & body.

          3.2 Subject & yielding to His :- authority, discipline, guidance & need for His wisdom

          If we “dare” to call Him “Father”, we should relinquish all ability or self-will to break away from His wisdom, guidance, correction, teaching (through HIs written & spoken Word) but be given over to Him in acknowledgement of our utter need for His wisdom & lead in all areas & arenas of our lives.

          Deu 8:17-19

          (17) then you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.’
          (18) “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.
          (19) Then it shall be, if you by any means forget the LORD your God, and follow other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.

          We will commit the ‘sin of idolatry’ if we expect any human being, event, institution or experience to satisfy, counsel, help, heal, comfort or sustain us in full and/or our need for relevance, purpose, worth, happiness or joy.

          Our emotionally & soulish needs have to be nourished, guided & directed through the Holy Spirit’s presence, intervention, God’s wisdom & authentic manifestation of God’s PEACE.

          OUR physical and temporal necessities are governed by His will as ours are relinquished into His in utmost trusting faith in God alone.

          PRAYER:

          Father,

          By addressing You, God, as our Father, we declare Your positioning in a higher abode, realm beyond our human understanding.

          We therefore position ourselves as Your children, in submission to You as our Father, & hereby make declarations of honour, worship, respect, deep affinity in our relationship with you. Hereby, indicating to You that we are willing & utterly aware of the necessity of entering into a continuous relationship with You & therefore positioned in You for our own God-given inheritance, favour & a beneficial existence in You as our parenting guide in an affectionate relation to establish us daily in all of lives’ alleys & valleys – IN YOUR LOVING ARMS of PEACE.

          Thank you, God,  for being my Father.

          Grace & Fire

          81. PRAYER POINTERS – DAYS of AWE

          Theme : DAYS of AWE

          Focus : Drawing Near to God – A Time for meaningful Reflection.
          Personal Aim : Knowing Him More.
          Expectation : His manifested Presence & Spirit-Power released through (y)our lives.
          Kingdom Goal : The Testimony of Christ to Impact society & His Name to be Glorified
          through our lives [thoughts, words, actions].

          LET US JOURNEY TOGETHER IN PRAYER!

          If you were living during the time of Christ, having just experienced His death & resurrection & seen Him walk amongst you in His resurrected body… how would you have spent your next 50 days?

          What would your mindset, priority list, & key focus, opinions and concerns be?
          With whom would you reconcile?
          What will you adjust or change to be aligned with and for Christ’s mission in your life ?

          Let us WALK WITH CHRIST as if it was ‘just after His resurrection’:

          1. Pray to Re-ignite Reverential Awe & the Worship of Christ. Present yourself to God – Be cleansed, Be set free… Let His Fire fall on you!

          Deu 5:24 ‘Surely the LORD our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire.
          Mat 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me… He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

          2. Pray for tenacity to pursue to know God more – learn from & about Him.
          [how to pray, how to live, to love… to serve, to love God with all your heart, mind & strength]

          1Co 1:20-21

          Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21. For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.

          3. Repent for sins, transgressions, trespasses & iniquities.

          Tit 1:16 They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.

          Repent of unbelieve & lack of faith. Renew your trust in God & His goodness. Remember His faithfulness in the past!

          Mar 4:40 But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?”

          4. Examine your thoughts, words & deeds. Is there anything or any relation pulling you away from God & His presence?

          Isa 28:12-13 He offered rest and comfort to all of you, but you refused to listen to him. That is why the LORD is going to teach you letter by letter, line by line, lesson by lesson.

          Act 3:19 Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.

          5. Consider the meditations of your heart. You & God know what the truth is. Evaluate what spirit or motive is behind your thoughts, words & actions?

          2Co 1:17-22

          (17) Therefore, when I was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or the things I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be Yes, Yes, and No, No? (20) For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.
          (22) who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.
          Is God perhaps trying to get through to you to help you right…? Thank Him for His Fatherly compassion, concern, discipline, wisdom & guidance in your life.

          Deu 8:3
          So, He humbled you, allowed you to hunger… that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD.

          Heb 12:5 “My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him.

          6. Re-evaluate your relationship with God.
          Draw near to God as if walking with Him (as if it’s the 40 days before His ascension).

          Jud 1:20-21

          (20) But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
          (21) keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

          Heb 10:38-39

          (38) now the just shall live by faith; but if anyone draws back, my soul has no pleasure in him.”
          (39) But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.

          7. Re-evaluate your focus & time spent with God. Consider how much do you value God in your life, your commitment to Him & the things of God.

          Deu10:12
          “And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

          Psa 103:1-2 (Read Ps103)
          Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! … (2) And forget not all His benefits.

          8. Consider what Christ has done for you.

          Heb 7:25 He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

          Jas 5:15 the prayer of faith will save the sick… if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

          Joh 1:12-13 12. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13. who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

          9. Forgiving others – give people a new slate every new day. Give people “the benefit of the doubt”. Start trusting again. His mercies are new every morning!

          Luk 6:37 “Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
          Mat 5:23-24 (23) Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, (24) leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

          10. Receive your forgiveness – make right with God!

          1Jn1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

          ENVISION the days AFTER CHRIST’S ASCENSION :

          11. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you to wait on Him.

          To renew your strength by the spirit… not to run with chariots (own strength) but by trusting in the power of the Holy Spirit. (Haggai 2:20 – 23, Is 31:1, Ps20:7, Act1:8)

          12. Ask Holy Spirit to guide you in renewing your mind to the truth of the Holy Scriptures.

          Rom 8:6-9 GNB

          6. To be controlled by human nature results in death; to be controlled by the Spirit results in life and peace. Those who obey their human nature cannot please God. 9. But you do not live as your human nature tells you to; instead, you live as the Spirit tells you to—if, in fact, God’s Spirit lives in you. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

          Are you living for the honour & glory of God?

          13. Consider a new beginning, start the race of faith anew, consider His eternal inheritance for us!

          Col 1:9-12 (9) …that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; (10) that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;
          (11) strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; (12) giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be
          partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.

          PRACTICAL LIFE & CURRENT LIFE ISSUES

          14. Re-evaluate your relationships – with your family, co-workers, family of God & others in your influence sphere.

          Do you have unrealistic expectations of yourself / others / God? Do you love others as yourself? Do you perhaps destroy others with you words or lack of tact or respect?

          Jas 5:20 For the one who restores the sinning believer back to God from the error of his way, gives back to his soul life from the dead, and covers over countless sins by their demonstration of love!

          15. Pray for reconciliation of relationships & refresh your heart with hope in trusting God for – restoration in love, compassion, much grace & mercy amongst men.

          Pro 10:12 Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all sins.

          Pro 17:9 He who covers a transgression seeks love, But he who repeats a matter separates friends.

          1Pe 4:8 Above everything, love one another earnestly, because love covers over many sins.

          16. Re-evaluate our relationship with the things of the world – money, wealth, idols in our life, hobbies, possessions, busy-ness.

          What are you chasing after? What is chasing you?

          Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Mat 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
          Gal 5:16 Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 1Jn 2:16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.

          17. Let us re-evaluate our decisions & default opinions and/or position on life’s key topics.

          Do you pursue unrealistically after success, [status, perfection, self-importance, aspirations/dreams, power, positions or fame, frivolities (idleness, airs, superficial)]? Do you live a life of integrity, truth, love, servanthood & generosity?

          Deu 8:17 then you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.’
          Deu 8:18 “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth,…

          18. Bring your own life’s challenges in prayer : work, health, finances & your concerns for your family, the next generation. Lay hold of His Word’s promises!

          Psa 128:1-6 Blessed Is Everyone Who Fears the Lord
          Happy are those who obey the LORD, who live by his commands. 2. Your work will provide for your needs; you will be happy and prosperous.

          4. A man who obeys the LORD will surely be blessed like this. 5. May the LORD bless you from Zion! May you see Jerusalem prosper all the days of your life! 6. May you live to see your grandchildren! Peace be with Israel!

          19. Pray for the peace of S.A., Israel, our town/area. Current politics, social injustice, crime, lack of truth, love, integrity & deception in the world around you.

          Isa 62:6 I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem /S.A. ; They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the LORD, do not keep silent,
          Isa 28:5-6 (5) A day is coming when the LORD Almighty will be like a glorious crown of flowers for his people who survive. (6) He will give a sense of justice to those who serve as judges, and courage to those who defend the city gates from attack.
          Eze 22:30 So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.

          Praying as you are seated with Christ in heavenly places:

          20. Thank the Lord for being our Head, Master, Leader…

          bringing our thoughts captive to obedience of the truth, of our salvation only in & through Him – His name. (2Cor10:3 – 6)
          Eph 4:11-15
          but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ.

          21. Thank Him for His Word – for us to digest, & live according to its precepts to the full. To use it as our guide, shield & buckler.

          “Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path” Ps 119:105

          22. Embrace the Holy Spirit’s leading, guidance, as the very breath of life in you.

          Isa 11:2 And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him–the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the reverential and obedient fear of the Lord—

          23. Pray for the maturing, protection & growth of the Body of Christ.

          Pray for the expansion of the kingdom of God & the harvest of souls to come in. Pray for the preparation of our souls to meet our Saviour & King.

          Joh 15:7-8
          (7) If you remain in me and my words remain in you, then you will ask for anything you wish, and you shall have it.
          (8) My Father’s glory is shown by your bearing much fruit; and in this way you become my disciples.

          24. Thank Him for His Blood – the cleansing, protection & atonement power of the blood. For His love for you!

          Lev 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls;

          Rev 12:10-11

          (10) “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. (11) And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

          25. Clothe yourself with CHRIST & WHO He is?

          Read : Revelations 4:5-11 & 5:5 – 14.

          Col 1:15-20
          (15) He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. (16) For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.
          (17) And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. (18) And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the pre-eminence. (19) For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell,
          (20) and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.

          26. Declare yourself willing to “go”, to make disciples & be part of the harvesters.

          Isa 6:8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” Mat 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.

          27. Stand in the integrity of His Word, His council… firm foundation of FAITH. Declare your faith again.

          Heb 6:15 after he (Abraham) had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
          Heb 6:19-20 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, which enters the Presence behind the veil,… 20. where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
          Isa 59:16 He saw that there was no man, And wondered that there was no intercessor; …

          FAITH PRAYS!

          28. Re-consider the importance of the Armour of God.

          Eph 6:10-17

          (10) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. (11) PUT ON the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (12) For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

          (13)Therefore, TAKE UP the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
          (14) STAND therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
          (15) having shod your feet (WALK) with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
          (16) above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
          (17) take the helmet of salvation, the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
          (18) praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—

          29. Declare His word & blessing over the local Church’s spiritual leaders, members & new souls.

          Heb 6:9-11
          (9) But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner. (10) For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. (11) And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end…

          30. Pray into – 7 spheres of society/nation/local area.

          Family (all relationships), Faith (church), Government, Finance, Science & Technology, Arts & Culture, Media.

          31. Pray for the expulsion of all evil – in this town / area & nation’s corridors of government.

          Jer 29:7 And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the LORD for it; for in its peace you will have peace.
          2Co 6:1-13 by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left.

          32. Speak out this blessing over yourself/your family.

          Num 6:22-27 The LORD commanded Moses to tell Aaron and his sons to use the following words in blessing the people of Israel:

          “ May the LORD bless you and take care of you; May the LORD be kind and gracious to you; May the LORD look on you with favor and give you peace.

          And the LORD said, “If they pronounce my name as a blessing upon the people of Israel, I will bless them.”

          Walking With JESUS

          If you were walking with Jesus today along the way… What would your discussion with Him entails…? What would you say to Him? If you would go to heaven today, what do you think God would say to you ? What would you like Him to say to you ? If this was your last day on earth, what would you have chosen to do… and what to let go of ?

          33. Finally : Pray The Lord’s Prayer together with someone.

          Mat 6:9-13 TPT

          (9) ‘Our Father, dwelling in the heavenly realms, may the glory of Your name be the center on which our lives turn. (10) Manifest Your kingdom realm, and cause Your every purpose to be fulfilled on earth, just as it is fulfilled in heaven. (11) We acknowledge You as our Provider of all we need each day. (12) Forgive us the wrongs we have done as we ourselves release forgiveness to those who have wronged us. (13) Rescue us every time we face tribulation and set us free from evil. For You are the King who rules with power and glory forever. Amen.’

          Psa 42:11
          Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.

          Thank you for praying with us!

          Rom 15:13
          May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing. Amen & amen!

          80. Revival – Learning from Previous Revivals

          Day 7. Learned from Previous Revivals -Stir Up the Spirit of Revival through the Gifts & Fruit of the Holy Spirit In Expectation of His Second Coming.

          Good Evening, dear Family of God

          EVENING DEVOTION

          Through these past few days, we saw how revival comes through the working of the Holy Spirit to bring reformation in our personal & family lives. This, to ignite revival in the church & society around us as the gifts & fruit of the Holy Spirit start to function through our lives.

          KEY QUESTIONS FOR PERSONAL APPLICATION

          How can the demonstration of Faith through the Gifts & the Fruit of the Holy Spirit work through us to revive, transform & reform Society?

          1. WE are to WAIT on Him
          Act 2:1-4

          (1)  When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
          (2)  And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. (3)  Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. (4)  And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

          Acts1:8, Acts2:4, 17-18, 33, 38; Acts4:8-13, 19-22, 24, 28-31 . See Scriptures below

          2. We LIVE through His covenant promises, laws written on our hearts & His Spirit poured out on us. (Heb 10:14-16).

          Therefore, we are being empowered through the Gifts given & the Fruit of the Spirit kindled to bring about reformation in & about us through His love for us all.
          (Heb 2:4; 1Cor 12; 14:12, Eph 4:8, Rom 12)

          3. The FRUIT links us to the character of Holy Spirit and His working of the gifts through us as He pleases for the good of all.
          Heb 2:4

          (4) God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?

          4. The GIFTS empower us to do His will & unlock the ministry, power & offices of Christ to be established on earth through our lives – being His hands & feet, to touch this broken world.
          Heb 10:14-16.

          (14) For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
          (15) But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before, (16) “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,”

          Eph 4:7-8

          (7) But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
          (8) Therefore He says: “WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVITY CAPTIVE, AND GAVE GIFTS TO MEN.”

          SUMMARY LEARNED FROM PREVIOUS REVIVALS

          Through the hearts of sincere believers, there was…

          a. A Desperation for the renewal of the church’s mission & purpose.
          b. A sincere need to recover the dynamic power of the Holy Spirit & the spiritual power of God.
          c. The Body of Christ united beyond denominations, across Pentecostal & Protestant boundaries through an INBREAK of the Holy spirit. Therefore, named “The Charismatic Movement”,- coming from the Greek word ‘Charismata’ :- Please see more in detail on my attached Blog Post.

          WHAT IS THE RESULT OF REVIVAL?

          Revival stirs up a NEW message of HOPE through the CHURCH,

          (1) to the CHURCH itself,

          (2) to a NATION, &

          (3) to the NEXT GENERATIONS.

          As we’ve just learned from the past revivals we now know that revivals came about where there was a renewed outcry for:

          (1) “The renewal of Faith’s Mission & Purpose through the church & individual members”,
          (2) “Sincere believers to recover the dynamic power of the Holy Spirit, which empowered & strengthened the early Christians” – an inbreaking from the Holy Spirit demonstrated over denominations in the speaking in tongues & baptism in the Holy Spirit – that brought “enduement of spiritual power for intensified service”
          (3) This “inbreaking of the Holy Spirit linked both mainline Protestant & Pentecostal movements to be reveres to as the Charismatic movement – from “charismata”(Gr) referring to 1Cor12:4,30 – Gifts of The Holy Spirit. (Spirit Filled Bible – paraphrased notes)

          PERSONAL APPLICATION

          – How are we to go about this move of God, in this decisive moment in time to bring about revival?

          a. We are in need of this message of revival & reformation to now be amplified across this nation by the AWAKENING of the church to the renewed clarion ‘call’ that God is not ‘dead’.
          Therefore, a Trumpet-Alarm is to be sounded that Jesus is alive & that God will do what He has intended from the beginning of time!
          b. There should arise a desperate outcry – to be heard for the different church denominations & faith movements to unite for the move of God across the globe also in preparation for His second Coming!
          c. The Church has to be awakened to this message to GO & spread the NEWS by demonstrating God’s Love, Power & Presence in the world out there. Starting in our neighborhoods’, streets, villages & parks & marketplace.

          PRAYER

          Rev 12:10-11

          (10) “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. (11) And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

          Thank you, Lord Jesus,

          that we can go & do this in Your Name. For we know that the Church has been destined to overcome our enemy by the Blood of our Savior that was shed for us. Also through the powerful word of our testimony of Jesus, our Lord & Redeemer.

          Thank you Lord. In Jesus Name we pray.

          Amen & Amen.

          Thank you for the privilege to could share from my heart.
          Alna.

          Scriptures:

          Act 2:38-39

          (38)  Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
          (39)  For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

          79. Entering Into Peace& His Rest -Testimony of Christ

          Day 6. – Entering by Grace into His PEACE & REST by FAITH & our Secure Testimony of Jesus.

          Shabbat Shalom dear Faith Family

          EVENING DEVOTION

          Tonight, we want to position ourselves afresh in His REST through FAITH as we know that we are being sent to stir up the spirit of revival wherever we are. This be pleasing to God as we go & have our being through our TESTIMONY & declaration of our utmost Faith in Christ alone.

          Heb 11:6

          But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

          1. The following Scripture equates unbelief with having an evil heart.

          Heb 3:7-19

          (7) Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “TODAY, if you will hear His voice.
          (12) Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; (13) but exhort one another daily, while it is called “TODAY,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

          2. We are encouraged to walk this road of faith holding on to our confidence in Christ as we partake IN Him, steadfast till the end in order to enter God’s rest through faith.

          Heb 3:14,18-19

          (14) For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end. (18) And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? (19) So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

          3. This will happen as we keep on believing, and having faith in Who He is, trusting in God alone for what He is about to do in our lives, in our nation through the mighty working of His power.

          Heb 4:1-2

          (1) Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. (2) For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.

          4. We all need these encouragements from God’s heart to be revealed to us, that we do not grow weary. To move us towards pursuing ‘the more of God” that we all so long for. We tend to forget and need to be reminded of the excellent ministry of Christ, our perfect Saviour, Master & Redeemer.

          Heb 8:6

          But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.

          Jer 33:2-3

          (2) “Thus says the LORD who made it, the LORD who formed it to establish it (the LORD is His name): (3) ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’

          Heb 4:16

          (16) Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

          What is your Testimony of Christ?

          Rev 19:10 (AMPC) …

          I am [only] another servant with you and your brethren who have [accepted and hold] the testimony borne by Jesus. Worship God!

          For the substance (essence) of the truth revealed by Jesus is the spirit of all prophecy [the vital breath, the inspiration of all inspired preaching and interpretation of the divine will and purpose, including both mine and yours].
          For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” (NKJV)

          Prayer:

          Father,

          we kneel before Your Throne in utmost reverence. We come in this day with faith in our Lord Jesus & in the perfect work He did on the Cross. We come with boldness to be helped on the right time. Our nation, social society, the Body of Christ & our personal lives are in desperate need for a move of God to revive us & bring reformation in every sphere of Life. We bring our lives and trust You alone to heal us… to heal our land.
          We bow before You now, to rise up in Your strength in joy & utmost faith, choosing to GO with our secure TESTMONTY of Jesus, the only Saviour & Redeemer. He is the only answer to this world!

          We pray & declare this in Jesus Name.
          Amen

          The Hebrew meaning of AZANIA means – God Has Heard”

          1. CHRIST OUR CORNERSTONE – Our Rock & FOUNDATION.

          He will be Present. He will meet us there.

          Eph 2:17-22

          (17) And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near.
          (18) For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.
          (19) Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,

          (20) having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone,
          (21) in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,
          (22) in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

          Luk 20:17-18

          (17) Then He looked at them and said, “What then is this that is written: ‘THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED HAS BECOME THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE’ ?
          (18) Whoever falls on that stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.”

          1Co 3:9-11

          (9) For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.
          (10) According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it.
          (11) For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

          2Ti 2:19

          (19) Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”

          Let us stand in the gap & repent for the iniquities coming down through our bloodlines

          2. PRAYING for THE UN-BELIEVER, THE LOST, BROKEN & BURDENED, DOUBTING THOMAS

          Luk 21:36

          (36) Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

          Act 4:7-14

          (7) And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, “By what power or by what name have you done this?”
          (8) Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel:
          (9) If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well,

          (10) let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole.
          (11) This is the ‘STONE WHICH WAS REJECTED BY YOU BUILDERS, WHICH HAS BECOME THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE.’

          (12) Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
          (13) Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.
          (14) And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

          3. THE BELIEVER

          What will move the heart of man to fall before his God in prayer and repentance to become involved in prayer for this nation and not only for themselves but for the corporate picture for our nation and for all those who still need to come in the lost the broken the bound the burdened the compromised the afflicted the poor the weak the sick the lame?

          4. THE CORPORATE CHURCH – GOD is BUILDING HIS CHURCH

          Zec 10:1-12

          (1) Ask the LORD for rain In the time of the latter rain. The LORD will make flashing clouds; He will give them showers of rain, Grass in the field for everyone.

          (2) For the idols speak delusion; The diviners envision lies, And tell false dreams; They comfort in vain. Therefore the people wend their way like sheep; They are in trouble because there is no shepherd.
          (3) “My anger is kindled against the shepherds, And I will punish the goatherds. For the LORD of hosts will visit His flock, The house of Judah, And will make them as His royal horse in the battle.

          (4) From him comes the cornerstone, From him the tent peg, From him the battle bow, From him every ruler together.

          (5) They shall be like mighty men, Who tread down their enemies In the mire of the streets in the battle. They shall fight because the LORD is with them, And the riders on horses shall be put to shame.
          (6) “I will strengthen the house of Judah, And I will save the house of Joseph. I will bring them back, Because I have mercy on them. They shall be as though I had not cast them aside; For I am the LORD their God, And I will hear them.

          (8) I will whistle for them and gather them, For I will redeem them; And they shall increase as they once increased.
          (12) “So I will strengthen them in the LORD, And they shall walk up and down in His name,” Says the LORD.

          • Let no man stand in the way of what the Father is building through His Holy Spirit
          • Let the church repent of standing in the way of the move of God through the GIFTS of the Holy Spirit.
          • Let the church repent for her idolatry of pedestals of fame, pride, comfort, prestige, slander, entertainment, business, having a from of life… being dead.

          Isa 28:14-29

          (14) Therefore hear the word of the LORD, you scornful men, Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,
          (15) Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death, And with Sheol we are in agreement. When the overflowing scourge passes through, It will not come to us, For we have made lies our refuge, And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves.”

          (16) Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; Whoever believes will not act hastily.

          (17) Also I will make justice the measuring line, And righteousness the plummet; The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, And the waters will overflow the hiding place.

          (18) Your covenant with death will be annulled, And your agreement with Sheol will not stand; When the overflowing scourge passes through, Then you will be trampled down by it.

          (20) For the bed is too short to stretch out on, And the covering so narrow that one cannot wrap himself in it.
          (21) For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim, He will be angry as in the Valley of Gibeon—That He may do His work, His awesome work, And bring to pass His act, His unusual act.

          (22) Now therefore, do not be mockers, Lest your bonds be made strong; For I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts, A destruction determined even upon the whole earth.
          (23) Give ear and hear my voice, Listen and hear my speech.
          (24) Does the plowman keep plowing all day to sow? Does he keep turning his soil and breaking the clods?
          (28) Bread flour must be ground; Therefore he does not thresh it forever, Break it with his cartwheel, Or crush it with his horsemen.
          (29) This also comes from the LORD of hosts, Who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in guidance.

          The Revival Starts in Montagu
          Following the Worcester Conference on April 18-19, 1860, delegates returned to their hometowns with a renewed desire to pray for revival. They immediately joined the already established prayer groups.
          These prayer meetings met up to three times daily. People began sharing their faith, and many were saved.
