PREVENT

The psalmist wrote these encouraging words. "The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies."

This is a wonderful psalm to remember as My beloved Israel is under such a heavy attack.  My angel Michael, who is the ark angel over Israel, is on duty to prevent the enemies of Israel from winning the war.

Daily pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and look to Me.  I have the strength and power to overcome every enemy of Israel.  My angels hearken to the voice of My Word, so pray My Word over Israel.

PSALM 59:10

FOOLISH

My servant Paul said that the preaching of the cross is to those who perish foolishness; but to those who are saved, it is the power of God.

You live in a culture today where there are many who have hardened hearts that cannot receive the truths about Me and my saving power because of their unbelief.

The root of all sin is unbelief.  Pray for My Holy Spirit to soften the hearts of many today so that their hearts will be ready to receive My truths.

1 CORINTHIANS 1:18; 

Grief

When we think back over the years of our lives, there usually are times when we are overwhelmed with grief.  Isaiah prophesied that I was a man of sorrows and that I was acquainted with grief.

I knew times of grief like in the garden when I asked My Father to remove the cup of suffering that I would face when I gave Myself as the perfect sacrifice so that I could then bear the sins of the world.

Isaiah also said, "Surely He has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows." I experienced every grief, every sorrow, and every pain people experience.  This is why I want you to come to Me during your seasons of grief.  I will be able to give you My peace and My joy to strengthen you during your grief.

ISAIAH 53:3-4

STAND

Remember when you were in summer Bible School, and you and all the children sang, "Stand up, Stand up for Jesus, you soldiers of the cross. Lift high the royal banner, you must not suffer loss.

That song causes both you and Me to grieve over the loss of a generation that has not been taught to fear Me and who do not know My Word.

So many even Christian children who had godly families that taught My word have fallen away.  Seducing spirits have had success in drawing this generation away from their faith.  Pray for this generation.

CORINTHIANS 2:5

VISIT

Most all of us love to have someone come and visit us.  We spend our time preparing for the visit. We clean our homes and even try to clear closets to get ready for our visitor to hang up their clothes.

We think about what we can serve our visitors for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  We even think about the places our guests might like to visit.

There is one visit, however, that I do not want you ever to miss.  That visit is when I come to you and desire to spend time with you.  Yes, I look forward to our times together in the morning when we have fellowship one with the other.  The only preparation for that visit is that you focus on Me, Your Savior. 

HEBREWS 2:6

PASSOVER

Tonight Jewish families all over the world will be seated at their tables to celebrate the first feast on the Jewish lunar calendar. They will enjoy remembering the great exodus of their people from Egypt.

Pray for them this evening as they celebrate Passover.  Pray also for the peace of Jerusalem as many will be on high alert in Israel because of the war there.

Pray for many of My Jewish brothers and sisters to be saved even during this wartime.  Pray that they will call out to Me for help. Pray for the laborers who are reaching out to Jewish people during this harvest time. 

ROMANS 1:16 

SUN

The psalmist wrote: "From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same the LORD's name is to be praised. Jewish days begin at sundown and end at sundown.  

I desire your praise all the day long, but there is something special about praising Me at the end of the day. As the shadows of dusk begin to form, you can begin to think of all the ways that I blessed you in the day.

When the sun first rises and  the sun begins to go down, the birds sing the loudest. They are praising Me. Join the symphony of their praise tomorrow and every day.  I will join with you, and together we can sing praises to My Father.

PSALM 113:3

CONFIDENCE

During these days of uncertainty, you and all My beloved need to put their confidence in Me and not in the news or what might happen tomorrow.

Have confidence in My ability to see you through whatever you may face in the future. Grace is the supernatural ability to do what is impossible in the natural.

My grace is more than sufficient to help you get through whatever circumstance you may face in the future.

HEBREWS 3:14

GLORIFY

My servant Paul exhorted believers to glorify God in their bodies and their spirits. God created all the beauty on earth to glorify Him which means to make His presence known on earth.

Every person born on earth has the same assignment which is to live lives that glorify God.  God is a spirit and we cannot see Him, so He created people to make His presence known on earth through their lives. 

Our heavenly Father sent Jesus to glorify Him on earth or to help us to know what our Father is like.  Jesus was the express image of God in the flesh. Pray daily that My Holy Spirit will help you glorify Me by your words and your actions.

1 CORINTHIANS 6:20

BENEFITS

When people are looking for jobs, they usually want to know what the benefit plan is. They want to have assurance that when they retire they will have enough money to live on until they die.

The benefit plan that I have for all My beloved is a benefit plan that is eternal.  However, eternity for every believer begins on they day that they ask Me to be their Savior and Lord. 

My plan is to daily load My beloved with benefits. David wrote this: "Blessed be the LORD, who daily loads us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah"

PSALM 68:19

CONSIDER

The writer of Hebrews gave many exhortations to those who believed in Me. One of the main exhortations he gave to My body on earth was something you should consider doing every day.

He encouraged those who read his letter to consider one another go provoke (encourage) one another to love and good works.

This is an exhortation that I want you to consider every day.  Consider each day how you can demonstrate My love to another believer and also how you can encourage believers to not be weary of well doing.

HEBREWS 10:24

CONSTANTLY

My servant Paul expressed My exact desire for all of My beloved.  Paul wrote these words to Titus: "This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that you affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men."

I have many good works for you to do before you come to be with Me.  Those works will benefit many people and they will help many to grow in their faith.

The very best work you can do while you are on earth is to share the truths of My gospel with others. Pray for opportunities daily to share My Word and also your testimony with others.

TITUS 3:8

WORKS

Just after I fed the multitudes, many asked Me, "What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? I responded with  this statement, "This is the work of God that you may believe on Him Who He has sent."

I promised later that those who would believe on Me would not only do the works that I did, but they would do even greater works.

There are works that I have written in your Book of Life that I want you to accomplish while you are on earth. These works will all be fulfilled as you keep your focus on Me and not yourself because I am the One Who works within you both to give you the will and then the way to do My good pleasure.

JOHN 6:28-29, 14:12; PHILLIPIANS 2:13

PRESS

My servant Paul never felt like he had attained all that I desired for him to attain.  However,  he never looked back at his failures. Instead, he pressed forward to the mark which was his high calling.

The way to walk in the Spirit is to leave the past behind and to press forward to those things that I have appointed and empowered you to do.

Every morning when you pray, "Offer your day, your way, your works and your will to Me"  When you do this My Holy Spirit within you will be able to help you do the next thing.  That way, you will accomplish what I have desired for you to accomplish in My strength each day.

PHILIPPIANS 3:13-14

BREATH

 

When I said that I am the way, the truth and the life, I was saying that without Me, you cannot live. I am life itself.  You cannot take another breath unless I ordain this.

After I rose again, and the disciples were gathered around Me, I went to each one and breathed My breath into them.  This is when they received My Holy Spirit into the temples of their bodies.

My Holy Spirit is the breath of life. I do not dwell in temples made by man.  I dwell in the temples that I made.  You contain My Holy Spirit because you received Me as your LORD and Savior. Thank and praise Me today because you contain Holy breath.  Pray for those who need My life, My breath within them.

ACTS 17:24-25; JOHN 20:22-23

AUTHOR

I know that before you read a book, you want to know everything about the author.  You want to know that the author is truthful and reliable.  You want to know if the author knows the Bible.

I am the Author and Finisher of your faith.  I wrote your Book of Life before the foundation of the earth. This book even talks about how I knew your substance and the members of your body before you were born.

This book contains all the works that I desire for you to accomplish while you live on earth.  You cannot read this book now, but at the end of time I will read it to you, and then you will see the chapters of your life unfold. I am faithful and truthful. As you trust Me daily, you will accomplish all of these works.

HEBREWS 12:2

UNBELIEF

The children of Israel could not enter into the promised land because they had an evil heart of  unbelief.  They departed from Me.

Unbelief comes from a heart that is full of pride.  This blocks so many people from coming to Me. They are high minded and think they know more than I do.

Many are falling away from the faith now because they have believed the seducing and lying spirits that Satan is sending in great number in these last days.  Pray for those you know who have yet to believe in Me.  Pull down any strongholds of pride in their lives, and pray that they humble themselves before Me.

HEBREWS 3:12

MIGHTY

I am the King of glory and I am mighty in battle.  With all the battles that are going on in the world, I want you to keep your focus on Me. Behind every physical battle, there is a spiritual battle.

The psalmist David wrote these words: "Lift up your heads , O ye gates, and be ye lifted up, your ever lasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in (Psalm 24:7).

Your head has three gates (the eye, ear, and mouth gates).  You have a choice daily to close your eye, ear and mouth gates to worldly things and instead, open them to holy things.  When your focus is on Me, the King of Glory, I will come into your heart and do spiritual battle for you.

PSALM 24

DELUSION

The spirit of anti-Christ is in the world and has been present since Lucifer fell from heaven.  Satan thinks that this spirit of anti-Christ is under his authority, but it is not.

I am the One Who is over all principalities and powers, rulers of darkness, and wickedness in heavenly places. I use the very spirits of Satan to fulfill My purposes. My servant Paul knew this and wrote:

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in those who perish, because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that hey should believe a lie (2 Thessalonians 2:10-11)"

2 THESSALONIANS 2:10-11
