Ain't gunna take matters into my own hands, when I ain't supposed to do that. Am trusting God with this. Have you felt like that before? I have felt tempted to do that at times, but listen. God's grace is so helpful and strong. Let him deal with what is his to deal with. I've been musing on what God says regarding this.
"But Moses told the people, 'Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the Lord’s salvation, which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians you see today, you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.'” Exodus 14:13-14 (see whole context)
"The Lord your God, who goes before you, will fight for you, just as you saw Him do for you in Egypt." Deuteronomy 1:30
"..and you have seen everything that the Lord your God has done to all these nations for your sake, because it was the Lord your God who fought for you." Joshua 23:3
"And the fear of God came upon all the kingdoms of the lands when they heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel." 2 Chronicles 20:29
"For the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, has said: 'By repentance and rest you would be saved; your strength would lie in quiet confidence..'" Isaiah 30:15
"Do not be afraid of them, for the Lord your God Himself will fight for you." Deuteronomy 3:22
"Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us!" Nehemiah 4:20
Jesus is his name. "The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name." Exodus 15:3
"And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians." Exodus 14:25
"Our prayers may be awkward. Our attempts may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the one who hears it and not in the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference!" ~ Max Lucado
Covid-times are to be prayer times for us.
When you feel frustrated inside cuz you can’t yet solve that problem you face.... pray. Got a weird boss, or angry parent, or some enemies out to battle against you today? Let the Lord fight for you.
Pray. God can handle it. He doesn’t have any need, doesn’t need me, can always overcome and he ain’t caught off guard by any of this. He will win..pray. He’s not surprised at all, never said OOOPS or Oh No! He’s not fallen off his throne of Authority. He not been defeated. Won’t ever be.
Your Father knows what you have need of today before you even call out to him or specifically request. Ask boldly. He knew ‘bout this day, need, all that you're facing. Yep, a long time ago he knew. Doesn’t need me commanding or instructing him on how to do it.. in prayer. Turn to, trust. You just wait, you’ll see.
Hasn’t stopped caring. He loves you and me too much to be dissuaded from his good plan for us. And we really don’t want God to switch his plan -- we want his perfect will to be done. That’s supreme, that’s really paramount.
What is prayer?
Why pray?
What is the prayer of salvation?
What is the Sinner’s Prayer?
How can we recognize the voice of God when we pray?
Best way to care about others? Pray for them and then go do what God says.. or don't do what he says not to do (Read and do more of this).
Only speak what he says to say (it'll agree with the Bible).
God, I love you. Thanks for honoring our choices, but I want You most. I want fruit that remains, and your Kingdom ..not mine.. to come. Do battle for us today. Please solve this thing, please change this, please change me too. Do what you’ve been wanting to do in my life. Thanks for providing and guiding. Honestly Lord, have your way in my life, yes, work out your perfect will for me.
"Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him." Psalm 50:3
"A Song or Psalm of Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God." Psalm 83:1
"For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not." Isaiah 30:15
Tell the Lord today, God I'm willing to be changed by you. Don't be molded into a worldly image, but let the Lord mold you and influence those of this world towards him. Trust him today. The Lord your God which goeth before you, he will fight for you as you pray, give thanks and praise... and he's really good at that. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind in the truth of His word. Turn and fully trust in Jesus today! He is trustworthy.
How's your nation and your leaders doing? Are there violent and crooked people trying to take over? Pray -- let God fight for your nation and people. Do you know the Lord, or do you need to return to him today? Come back. Right now.
“Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in battle!” Psalm 24:7–8
We need integrity and godly character, Lord. Help us. Now we all need Christ and his body the church for accountability. You need a group of growing born again believes and place that is not shame-based. We need the word -- all the counsels of God. AA ain't shame based. Religious churches can be very shame-based, but God isn't religious at all and healthy local churches led by spiritual men are not.
Does the Bible instruct us to do some spiritual warfare and live spiritually aware? Jesus, we need a move of God here in the USA.
Miracles happen when you move, Lord. We are here for you, come and do what you do. We want you first. Turn us back to you. Set our hearts on fire for you, Lord. Come and do what you do in our Land. Pour out your Spirit again. God, send your revival to your church (and through me). Yes, authentic, and a biblical spiritual awakening too.
