The Messenger
'Look! A messenger is coming over the mountains with good news!
He is bringing a message of peace.
Celebrate your festivals, O people of Judah,
and fulfill all your vows,
for your wicked enemies will never invade your land again.
They will be completely destroyed!' Nahum 1:15 (NLT)
Dear Father
Thank
you for Your Word. Thank you for the words of Nahum the prophet to
Ninevah and the encouraging words he provided Judah when he told them
that the enemy would be completely defeated.
The
name Nahum is the abbreviated form of the name Nehemiah which means
'comfort'. Lord, You sent a comforting word through Your prophet to
Ninevah, the capital of the Assyrian Empire. These were the very same
nation of people that had heard the preaching of Jonah one hundred years
before and that had repented. Unfortunately, they had fallen back into
sin, and it was Nahum's time to lift up his voice and share the vision
from You for the nation
You
are speaking to us now as well. You speak to us as individuals. You
also deal with the nations. One way You speak to us is through Your
preachers and Your prophets. Your Word says that You are slow to anger.
You are merciful. Here is Your message of Good News! Our God Saves!
As
in Ninevah, the enemy, by their occupation has ruined the parties, the
activities and the festivals that were planned. The invader had
disrupted everything and even tried to silence the Word from going
forth. Now we see that the times are changing and we will all be
changed. There is Good News in the land once again. Judah is going
before You. Disinfecting agents are gone off the shelves in the natural
as a sign in the Spiritual that You are cleansing our hearts to bring us
back to You. We pray.
You
have our attention Lord. All is silent at the very thought of all that
has been lost and all that needs to be done. There is death, there is
fear, there is evil. There is also Good among us as well. There is Your
Messenger among us and He talks to us with Words of Hope. Fill us with
Your mighty Word. By Your Holy Word, when we listen, we can know You and
know this, soon enough, all the land secured by the enemy will be
returned. Everyone captured and distanced from each other in their homes
right now will be released in Your time. Everyone, will see Your Glory
and will be at peace as their lives are restored to normal.
Good
News. You send Your Good News to us. God, You have sent Your
messengers, the very ones that are not ashamed of Your Gospel. There are
signs and visions and there are dreamers. The Good news is for those
that hear from You and that will repent throughout all of the land.
Their lives will be saved and they will be restored. Normalcy will be
restored. Eternity is gained. Borders, Lord! As that wicked enemy will
be completely destroyed by You and will never invade this land again!
Those that will survive will come out stronger, even the weak, and come
out with much much more than they had before they went in. Thank you
Lord.
In Jesus's name
Amen
