Revival

"O LORD, I have heard your speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive your work in the middle of the years, in the middle of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy." Habakkuk 3:2

This is my prayer every day.
We were called and chosen to take the Word of God to the lost and to warn them of His return. The years are flying by and D Day is approaching; our souls are in agony for those who don't yet know Him.

Perseverance

"I know your works, your labour and your perseverance, and how you can not bear men that are evil: and you have tried those who say they are apostles, and are not, and have found them liars; and you have perseverance and have endured for My name sake, and have not grown weary." Revelation 2:2-3

Jesus reveals to the Apostle John that He holds His servants in His Hands: pastors that are at His disposal in the preaching of His Word. He says that He walks among the seven gold candlesticks - a symbol of the seven types of people that serve Him; people that were bought with His blood and are therefore priceless in value before Him. At the end, He praises those who persevere and don't give up, even in the face of difficulty.

We honour a just God, Who appreciates faithful children that persevere.

God's Dwelling Place

"For thus says the One who is high and lofty, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite." Isaiah 57:15

The verse above is the answer to those who are tired of asking God for something that they haven't received the answer to yet. If He dwells with the contrite, then that means that He is by your side - right there with you, who are in pain. The Lord Jesus Himself assures us that: "...whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." Mark 11:24

The secret is to believe that you have already received what you have asked for in prayer.

Gift

How wonderful!
Just by reading and hearing God's advice, you are already a blessing. Don't waste time, put this gift into practice in your life. This was revealed to the Apostle John, Jesus' beloved one. Guard the Word in your heart and let no one take it from you. Be a beloved one also, for all eternity.

"Blessed is he that reads, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written therein: for the time is near."
Revelation 1:3

Home

"Let us go to the sanctuary of the Lord; let us worship at his footstool. Arise, O Lord, and enter your resting place, along with the Ark, the symbol of your power.
May your priests be clothed in godliness; may your loyal servants sing for joy."
Psalm 132:7-9

NOTE: Today the Ark is the Holy Spirit living in us, making us strong and firm; unshakeable.


Blood

It happened at the first Passover celebrated by the Hebrew people in Egypt. At the eating of the lamb and the painting of their doorposts with blood, their deliverance from slavery by the hand of God was seen. The Angel of Death passed from house to house - except from the houses of those who were obedient to the Word.


The Lord Jesus came to the world as the Lamb of God. He came to save and to free the captives of the devil. He determined the salvation and freedom for all. Those who accept Him as Lord are covered by His blood, which is able to deliver them from eternal death. Since that sacrifice, those who are enslaved and oppressed by devil will only be free if they have the mark of the Son’s blood imprinted on their hearts. Death is sweeping across the land and leading souls to eternal death; and you friend, do you have the mark of the blood?


"For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on the lintel and on both doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you." Exodus 12:23


NOTE: Do not live by appearance, only looking to please other; look carefully, He said: "on both doorposts," - inside and outside the door - which means that you need to have a heart of God.

The Way

"Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, for I trust in You; teach me the way in which I should walk, for to You I lift up my soul."
Psalm 143:8

When we focus on the reasoning of this prayer we can capture the spirit of trust and faith of the psalmist better. Total dependence on the direction from the Spirit of God. But one must be attentive to His voice to know the attitude that he should take every day. If we obey this direction, we will succeed in everything that we do; and He will be honoured.
