And What Of?

Earlier this month I told you of a new friend; she said: “He corrected my thinking with Truth!” Click HERE to read the post. 

She has a book, available on-line (for free) and I’ve been reading it. What on Earth is Heaven Like.  Perhaps you would like to check it out HERE. I admire my new friend and her work; her diligence to study the Word inspires me to pray for such a hunger and thirst for ABBA and His Word for myself and others. 

And what of this place; this New Heaven and New Earth? 

12 as you wait for the Day of God and work to hasten its coming. That Day will bring on the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt from the heat; 13 but we, following along with his promise, wait for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness will be at home.
14 Therefore, dear friends, as you look for these things, do everything you can to be found by him without spot or defect and at peace.

via 2 Peter 3:12-14 KJV;CJB – Looking for and hasting unto the coming – Bible Gateway.

And how can we hasten that day? And when will that day come? Do the research for yourself but Scholars have set forth that Yeshua will return in power to rule and reign when Israel says:

39 For I tell you, from now on, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of Adonai.’”

via Matthew 23 KJV;CJB – Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and – Bible Gateway.

And one of those Scholars? Click HERE. I hope you will visit the site and read. 

There is a future! And it is greater than we can even imagine. May our excitement and anticipation build and may we pray for the coming of ADONAI, welcomed by His chosen people. There is much work to do before that day; I hardly know how to take off in that direction, but I am comforted and encouraged that He knows the way.  Your prayers are welcomed. Blessings my Friends!

ABBA ADONAI, thank You for leading, I pray to follow more closely, more consistently, and more speedily; and I pray for enough others to get the job done to join You as well. ABBA, save America and tender the hearts of Your People to say Blessed is He who comes in the name of ADONAI.  

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. 

Day 71 of 2014, praying for revival in the Body of CHRIST.

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. 

Forego the Distance

Matthew 24:12 and many people’s love will grow cold because of increased distance from Torah.

via Matthew 24:12 KJV;CJB – And because iniquity shall abound, the – Bible Gateway.

This verse is holding my attention today. For a deeper understanding we have to become acquainted with the broad meaning of Torah. Yes, it is the first five books of the Old Testament but Torah is more.

Look I am borrowing from Hebrew4Christians.com which tells us this:

The word Torah (תּוֹרָה) comes from the root word yarah meaning \”to shoot an arrow\” or \”to hit the mark.\” Properly used, the word means \”teaching\” or \”instruction.\” Teaching is associated with the Holy Spirit, just as God taught Moses what to do and say (Exod. 4:15). And it is clear that Yeshua our Messiah assumed the title of Rabbi and performed much of his ministry as a Teacher (John 1:38).  via The Written Torah – Torah Shebikhtav.

When you read the word Torah in the CBJ or Law in Gentile translations of Scripture think teaching or instruction; think the WHOLE COUNSEL of GOD – all that HE has said to us in the Scripture.

Now return to Matthew 24:12.

Love grows cold when we distance ourselves from the Teachings of GOD. When we distance ourselves from abiding in obedience to the WORD of GOD, all manner of unloving behavior begins to go on in our day-to-day walking about.  Not only do I see counsel here for me to heed. I see that the World at large and in particular America has distanced Herself from Torah – it shows in Her behavior.

I can’t change America but I can allow the Torah (the Whole Counsel of ABBA) to transform me. And so can you; and enough of us behaving in real, godly love will put America back on solid footing!

Now that’s something to ponder on Day 3 of 2014.
