Sharing Information

I happened upon a website today that I’d like to share with you. We are counseled again and again by leaders of the Christian Faith to pray for the Peace of Israel. It is Scriptural.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:

via Psalm 122:5-7 KJV;CJB – For there are set thrones of judgment, – Bible Gateway.

How many facets of Peace for Israel can we pray for? Many. I hope you will carefully consider the PDF that I am attaching hereto. It can also be found on the website I visited today: Jerusalem Prayer Team. There is a Live Feed from the Kotel (Western Wall) on the website. It is a connection I treasure. 

HowToPrayForThePeaceOfJerusalem 

In the above linked PDF written by Dr. Mike Evans, among the many prayers offered, I found this one:
“Lord of Glory, as evil hearts devise wickedness against Your Holy City, I pray that You will cause their knees to bow before You. In the place where You have set Your Name, bring peace around Your throne. Even so come and bring peace to this earth.”  (page 5)

And this one:
“God of battles, You selected Jerusalem from all the cities of the earth as the place to establish Your name forever. You chose Your servant David as the leader and defender of Your people. Keep Your covenant with him today and arise to defend Jerusalem from destruction.”
(page 4)

And one more I’ll share here with you:
“God of Heaven and earth, protect the schools and the school children who are being targeted by enemy terrorists. Watch over the families who trust in Your name. Provide jobs and sufficient income for every family and reveal to them that it is by Your mercy and grace alone so they may come to believe in You, the One True God and Your Son Messiah Yeshua, in Jesus’ Name!”  
(page 8)

There are many many others. 

I hope you will find this book How to Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem as helpful and enlightening as I have. 

Blessings my friends.

ABBA, thank You for leading us; thank You for loving us, and thank You for giving us the privilege to pray for Israel, for the Body of Christ, and for the Peoples of the world.  As we gather here there are troubled hearts, wounded souls, illnesses, and diseases of sundry kinds, and so we come trusting You to heal and make new in Yeshua’s Mighty name. 

Cruel Strangers

1 From: Ya‘akov, a slave of God and of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah To: The Twelve Tribes in the Diaspora: Shalom!

via James KJV;CJB – James, a servant of God and of the Lord – Bible Gateway.

Shalom! 
Peace.

Among his first words to the Twelve Tribes in Diaspora he said PEACE. They are dispersed from their homeland and he says peace. Let your mind take the time to sense this Diaspora. Perhaps it meant their property had been seized from them; all their comforts and all things familiar forcibly removed from their sight, their touch; their security, their safety stolen; all they had worked to accumulate now squandered and consumed by others.  And James says Peace?  Yes. He said peace. Peace to you.

He also said he was a slave too. A slave of GOD; a slave of the LORD YESHUA. Perhaps we can gather from this that we are all going to be a slave to somebody or something and we would be far better served to voluntarily be a slave – one surrendered to the Lordship of the Son of GOD. We can be assured when we surrender our being and all our possessions to JESUS we will have peace even in the presence of cruel strangers and strange circumstances. 

33 “I have said these things to you so that, united with me, you may have shalom. In the world, you have *tsuris. But be brave! I have conquered the world!”

via John 16:33 KJV;CJB – These things I have spoken unto you, – Bible Gateway.

* trouble; woe. via tsuris – definition of tsuris by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

I like the rendition BRAVE. It does not mean that I will not sense fear; it just means I will not allow my fear to immobilize me; I will move in step with JESUS even when I am afraid – I will be brave!

So do you think PEACE brings Bravery?

Yeah. Me too!

Safe Focus

He corrected my thinking with Truth.

I hope to tell you more in a while about the lovely new friend who made that statement this weekend. 

He corrected my thinking with Truth! 

Please think on that.  What a gift for which to pray that the HOLY SPIRIT would correct our thinking with His Truth revealed in the Bible. 

31 So Yeshua said to the Judeans who had trusted him, “If you obey what I say, then you are really my talmidim, 32 you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

via John 8:31-33 KJV;CJB – Then said Jesus to those Jews which – Bible Gateway.

7 Then God’s shalom, passing all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds safe in union with the Messiah Yeshua. 8 In conclusion, brothers, focus your thoughts on what is true, noble, righteous, pure, lovable or admirable, on some virtue or on something praiseworthy.

via Philippians 4:7-9 KJV;CJB – And the peace of God, which passeth all – Bible Gateway.

Let me quickly call your attention to a couple of words: Safe. Abiding in GOD’s peace will keep our hearts and our minds SAFE in CHRIST JESUS as we FOCUS on His Truth.

Oh to have our thinking corrected! 

ABBA, correct my thinking; all that I might think to be true that in truth is not true – correct me HOLY SPIRIT, that I will not only know Your Truth but walk in truth and obedience. I pray this, ABBA, for me and for every soul that would come here in agreement asking You for this precious gift in YESHUA’s Mighty and Lovely name.
