Faint

Gallery Leave a comment

My intentions for this post was a quick word from THE WORD to encourage us to NOT faint or be weary in this culture and season of our respective journeys. Some of us are newer in our journey than others; but weariness is no respecter of persons. :)

Galatians 6:9

9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

And as I keyed in faint at Bible Gateway dot-com more than the expected Galatians passage appeared.  And I wondered if  our word FAINT was the same for each passage; so I next visited Bible Study Tool dot-com  to use the Hebrew and Greek Lexicon which can be accessed at the tab Interlinear Bible.

And so my word to you from THE WORD today is lean in on ABBA today so you do not grow weary; so you do not faint and as you study THE WORD check out those Hebrew (Old Testament) and those Greek (New Testament) words. It will be enlightening!

So what does the FAINT in Galatians 6:9 mean? (It’s not the same faint as in Ephesians 3:13.)

Click HERE and see (for Galatians 6:9) it is akin to the marriage covenant. So let us keep  ‘covenant’ with the HOLY SPIRIT who seals us; let us make the decision to not step out on Him and give into our flesh of doubts and frustrations and fears and weariness of putting up with this mess; keep leaning on Him, keep believing Him, keep trusting Him and we will see His reward in due time.

Warning! This bites! When we as followers of JESUS, decide to go with our feelings, our flesh instead of staying in trust, walking in the SPIRIT, we have become unfaithful to our LORD in that decision. Praise HIM! Praise HIM! That He forgives and brings us back to the path of discipleship!

1 John 1:9

9 If we acknowledge our sins, then, since he is trustworthy and just, he will forgive them and purify us from all wrongdoing.

Well, Friends, it was not quick or short but I hope it is encouraging.  May ADONAI bless you and keep you and make His Face shine upon you. Numbers 6:24-27.

Thank You, ABBA.  Thank You.
Thank You for good reports for Bella! Thank You for Carolyn’s improved condition. Thank You for loving us; never leaving us, never forsaking us and always having great plans for us for safety, protection, well-being and when the time is right HOME with You. Thank You JESUS for saving us now and forever.

Keep Returning

When I realize I have messed up again, I remember:

If I confess my sins (even wasting an hour of time watching a TV program with NO redeeming qualities) He is faithful and just to forgive me and cleanse me of all unrighteousness.

1 John 1:9 King James Version (KJV)

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Moreover, I remember Lamentations 3, and I rejoice that it reads for me:

21 But in my mind I keep returning to something,

something that gives me hope —

22 that the grace of Adonai is not exhausted,

that his compassion has not ended.

23 [On the contrary,] they are new every morning!

How great your faithfulness!

via Lamentations 3 KJV;CJB – I AM the man that hath seen affliction – Bible Gateway.

Thank You, Father, that Your compassion does not fail; that each moment You have a new supply for me, and thank You that You keep drawing me to return and I keep returning. Thank You. Thank You for grace and space to repent. I pray for a spirit of repentance to fall upon us; You know my legitimate concerns for people in various local assemblies; truly, HOLY SPIRIT, I ask You to bring conviction of sins and assurance of forgiveness and restoration to repentant souls. There is much violence and bitter pain in this world; particularly I pray for families grieving the death of family and friends at the Navy Yard Massacre. Father, I am so sorry please forgive and convince We the People of our sin, of righteousness, and judgment to come. I pray now for friends and family; for brothers and sisters; for every need spoken here; we entrust ourselves, our needs and our wants to You for safekeeping and answering in YESHUA’s Mighty Name.

National Day of Prayer!

I cannot think of anything that America needs more than prayer – the prayer of repentance.

14 if My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

I have many concerns for America. She has many sins. These are grievous and dark days. BUT JESUS is STILL the LIGHT of the WORLD.

5 And this is the message which we have heard from him and proclaim to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him — none!
6 If we claim to have fellowship with him while we are walking in the darkness, we are lying and not living out the truth.
7 But if we are walking in the light, as he is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of his Son Yeshua purifies us from all sin.
8 If we claim not to have sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we acknowledge our sins, then, since he is trustworthy and just, he will forgive them and purify us from all wrongdoing.
10 If we claim we have not been sinning, we are making him out to be a liar, and his Word is not in us.

19 We know that we are from God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the Evil One.
20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us discernment, so that we may know who is genuine; moreover, we are united with the One who is genuine, united with his Son Yeshua the Messiah. He is the genuine God and eternal life.

Be Hidden in CHRIST,

ABBA, forgive America for She does not know; her eyes have been blinded; the scales upon her eyes are thick and heavy;  I pray, HOLY SPIRIT, that You will help all of us to be willing to take off the blinders and see the TRUTH.  I pray for mercy. I pray for grace and space to repent. I know it is not Your will that any person die lost. Thank You that You are willing to save. Forgive us, ABBA, and please save America. HOLY SPIRIT, please convince we the people of sin, righteousness and judgment to come in the Mighty name of JESUS. I know You are have enough mercy to go around; I know You have enough love and forgiveness for even those we deem the worst of us; I pray You will send revival to the CHURCH and repentance to the Nation. Amen and amen.
