Neither

'Now when Joshua was traveling near the city of Jericho, he saw a man standing in front of him with a sword drawn and ready.


Joshua (stepping toward him): Are you one of us, or are you one of our enemies?

The Man:  Neither; I am here now as commander of the Eternal’s army.

Joshua (falling to the ground): What is your command for your servant, my lord?

The Man:  Take off your sandals, for you are on holy ground.

So Joshua did.' Joshua 5:13-15 (VOICE)

Whenever you are in God's Will the Glory of the Lord will shine through your efforts.

 'Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.  Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.  For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.  Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.  Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,  and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.  In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.  Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.' Ephesians 6:10-18 (NIV)
 
Dear Father
Thank you for Your Word. Thank you for this day that You have made. Thank you for a new year and for a new season of Hope. Thank you for Your Son. Thank you for Your Words of encouragement to us and for always being there to meet our needs in whatever way we might need You. You are righteous. You are always ready for battle and to defend Your people and their salvation. Your Sword of the Spirit turns every way. When we ask You what Your Will is, and what it is that You would have us do, we hear You give us Your simple command. 'Take off your shoes!' We take the fall at Your feet, because we know we are guilty, only to rise again, because You did, never failing to put on the full armor. Then we continue on together. For we know that we must 'Go' so that Your Holy Spirit might 'Come' and reveal Himself to us.
In Jesus's name
Amen

Called Forth to Life

'When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last—  the Living One. I was dead and, see, I am alive forever and ever! I also hold the keys of death and hell .' Revelation 1:17-18 (EHV) Dear Father.  Because of You and who You are I do not fear. You are Divine. You are Eternal. You are God. You were here before the world began and will be here at the end. Thank You, Father, for sending Your Son Jesus Christ, the Living One, to die for me. I recognized that I was a sinner and I made Jesus Lord of my life. Though You suffered and died, I know that Jesus lives and that He is my life source. Without Him I am nothing. He has complete authority. He has the power over life and death. He controls not only when I die but where I will go after I die as well.You comfort me with Your Word.  Let me be forever grateful and obey Your Word and live my life for Him. Jesus, You alone hav

Sending Out Invitations to the Concert

'We are confident that God is able to orchestrate everything to work toward something good and beautiful when we love Him and accept His invitation to live according to His plan. ' Romans 8:28 (VOICE) One example of God's love can be seen in the book of Esther. Lessons from the Bible can reassure us of God's love for us and they show us that His ways are good and so much higher than our own. How powerful. In Chapter three, the evil ideas of Haman, to have all the Jews exterminated, had been decreed by the king, and the money set aside in an account for the diabolical deeds and the date was set on the calendar for the bloodshed! That part is so incredible, that one man was given that much power. Just imagine it if you were a Jew. The date for the destruction of your entire race was set and the preparations to follow through with it were being made. Thankfully, our God is greater. Our God is able. He is able to confuse the bad plans of men in power. O

To the 7th Degree

  ' Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual' Daniel 3:19 (NIV) To the leaders that are unprepared for the likes of young people full of passion. For the wicked rulers who demand men to bow a knee to them, and worship them like gods. To the world that has lost its way and punishes the faithful to the extreme, even death. We pray for thee. Let the world know that we worship no one but the One True God. Amen. Dear Father We pray for evil leaders that desire to turn their nation into evil. We lift up righteousness and righteous leaders, we lift You up. You are the One True God in whom we serve. You are the Holy God in whom we believe. You provide the God-fearing leaders that we need when we need them. We pray for those leaders. We pray for more people with courage to refuse to bow the knee to mere man. Even when we live in times when there seem
