Love… For A Black Panther

2 Comments

Another Black Panther has passed away. Once again, we weren’t ready. I know, It wasn’t your plan to leave us…. but still I felt a little cheated someway

News of our loss of you, came from across the room, it came like a bolt of lightning

I guess it had to snatch me out of hiding, where I’ve been secretly abiding, in a place I was not inviting -the world

So I’m reeling, because I’m seeing and hearing and feeling, another Panther dies, another light rising, another knight fighting for his life,

Another loss that will be forever with us, another side of grief that keeps us longing for the end of death, which is illegal by the way, That’s why we fight it everyday, it wasn’t supposed to happen this way, We were meant to live.

We wanted to pray for you, to place a command before Heaven for you, It’s what we were created to do, because GOD told us to,

He said, ” Concerning my sons and concerning the works of my hands, command ye me”

We would have commanded long life, we would have reached into the past with our prayers and bound all sickness and disease, we would have prayed until we had the release

Prayed… until your body remembered its first estate, until Heaven was opened by the sound of our faith

Prayed… until the future made room for our gift… your life was another one of our gifts!

We would have persuaded, negotiated, commanded it!

More time to see you reviving, thriving, living and not dying

More time for you to bring us close while you create, and motivate,

More time for you to bless and be a blessing,

More time for you to edify and encourage,

For all that you gave, we should have given, we should have nourished

Your soul, through prayer, with fasting and courage

To believe that nothing shall be impossible, because we believe

For every spirit you lifted, whether scripted or unscripted

We give thanks to GOD, that your gifts were shared with each one of us

We give thanks that your spirit existed, that we couldn’t resist it

To All the Black Panthers out there, I bless GOD for your life

I want you to live and not die,

I want you to thrive and strive, for much more than to survive

There’s so much goodness in you, that chases your greatness

In the final scene, on the this world screen

The Panther is not the enemy of the Panther,

Wakanda Forever!


For My Grandson…Because Judah roars for the Black Panther

ELUL, PRAYERS ON THE 9TH DAY

1 Comment

We are steadily trying to obtain and maintain a place of consecration. Yet, in the midst of our focus on these priorities, we are constantly bombarded by more bad news…..,more wickedness, more injustice, more killings, baseless hatred and injustice is relentless. Evil invades our space.

Yet, we will persist and stand against it until the wicked devices our enemies are brought down.

August 28th: TODAY WE ARE READING & PRAYING PSALMS 98-104

Ref: ELUL, OUR 29 DAY BANQUET OF PRAYER… TO HONOR THE KING OF GLORY!

Psalm 97:10-12

We will not be discouraged, we will not give up, we will not relent, we will pursue mercy and justice with every fiber of our being.

We who love the Lord and hate evil: GOD preserveth the souls of his saints; He delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

We will rejoice in the Lord, and give thanks at the remembrance of His Holiness.

We Will Sing Over The Nations… Until Justice Flows Through the Streets for Everyone!

Psalm 98

The right hand of GOD will gives us the victory! GOD will do marvelous things in our eyes, in this generation, for our sons and daughters, for our friends and neighbors, in my lifetime

The world will sing a new song, not one of death, destructions and hate. We shall sing of justice, mercy , love and truth.

We shall sing of the salvation of the LORD, how our brothers and sister saved from harm, the innocent, not proven guilty in the courts, shall not be tried and executed in the streets no longer.

The LORD has made known His Salvation, His Yeshua. His righteousness He has openly shown in the sight of the heathen.

He has remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel and the seed of Abraham: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

Sing unto the Lord with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.

6With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the Lord, the King.

Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together

Before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth: and we are His Ambassadors in the earth.

But our report to the LORD is grim.

Your people go without shelter, health care and food. Some are being shot down in the streets in front of their children, their spouses, their neighbors. The courts heap on financial burdens and perpetuate cycles of desperation, execution or imprisonment. The sick have little or no resources, some have no place to heal or recover, poverty and plague move against us.

Poor leadership strangles the voices of righteous leaders, who sought to pursue their own gain, their own survival, while they use corrupt and legitimate authority of this earth to stifle, miseducate, and misdirect the public, who are too tired, too confused, too helpless, too hopeless, too distraught, too unbelieving or too believing for their own good. Perhaps, some are just too apathetic to manage their own government. Are they too fearful? or too complacent, too comfortable with corruption and compromise?

Those that had held their peace for so long, were detained at home by sickness and disease, which caused us to be home while Rome was burning, and they took to the streets in protest. Some to say, enough is enough. Some to say, they were being choked by baseless hatred and bigotry, so much so they could not longer breath. Some to say, I support this fight, it’s my fight. I choose to be a part of the solution, I refuse to stand by and just watch unrighteousness continue… and some to take aim and strike and stab under the cloak of darkness, to fuel hate and bitterness, to tear down and destroy– taking advantage of cries for justice to further their own ambitions to kill, steal and destroy.

Justice has been exchanged for prejudice, bias, and hate. Righteousness has been exchanged for corruption, integrity for perversion, decency for depravity.

The righteous feel outnumbered and overwhelmed. Some feel that prayer can not handle the weight of all of the suffering. Some feel that justice is overpowered by kindness, mercy, faith, love are not the weapons that we can use against this strain of evil. Some claim that love is but a mat used to welcome the oppressors and give them license for dishonesty, duplicity and guile.

Despite all this, we have seen good too, in the land of the living, LORD. We have witnessed genuine caring, compassion… intentional efforts to show love for another. The world is crying out for justice and mercy and peace… and our cries have created a shift toward thoughtfulness, consideration, reflection…

With righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.

Psalm 99:7-8

We will keep Your Testimonies, and the Word that you gave us.

You always answer us Lord and this will be no different, as we enter your gates with thanksgiving.

Ps 101: 6, 8

Your eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with You.

Remove the wicked from our land, cut off all the wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

Ps 102:1-2, 7, 15, 19,

Hear our prayer LORD, and let our cry come unto thee… Hide not Your face from us in the day when we are in trouble, incline thine ear unto us. in the day when we call, answer us speedily.

We stand the watch LORD, as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

The wicked come before us and fear the Name the LORD, and all the kings of the earth fear thy glory. Send Your Name before all the wicked of the earth that mean us harm and our children and neighbors harm.

Look down from Your Sanctuary, from Heaven and behold the earth. Hear the groaning of the prisoners and the innocents, and loose those that are appointed to death. Send angels to protect them from those that seek and/or take pleasure in seeking their life.

We are but the dust that you created from the beginning,

Psalm 103: 14-15

A flower in Your field… Yet, We Shall Flourish. We choose to rise to the full measure, and the full stature of Yeshua, Our LORD.

The children of your servants shall continue in the path of righteousness, and our seed shall be established before You.

We call forth repair, restoration, recovery, rectification, and restitution for Your People and their children’s children–generational protection and blessings,

Save their seed, restore justice to the land, protect us LORD, defend our right to pass through the Kings Forest.

AMEN.

TalkTorahToMe.CAFE. – Who Shall Retain the Finest Flour?

In Pirkei Avos (Ethics of Our Fathers), we are provided a timeless collection of wisdom teachings and sayings from the Rabbi’s and Sages. Teachings that are rooted in the torah and elevated for the refinement of our spiritual being.

In Chapter 5 of Pirkei Avos there is a brief anecdote that I would like to share, which places students in one of four categories.

Ch 5.18 describes four types of students who sit before the sages: A sponge, a funnel, a strainer and a sieve: a sponge, which absorbs [remembers] everything; a funnel, which lets all the information in and just as soon as it enters, they instantly allow all the information to run out [retaining nothing]; a strainer, which lets the wine flow through retaining the sediment (the minor points) and misses all the major, weightier points of the message or teaching; and a sieve, which allows the flour dust to pass through and retains the fine flour.

The sieve has the ability to filter out the sedimentary parts and bits, retaining only the finest flour.

The sponge soaks up everything and remembers, but is unable to process the finer points and put them into action. The funnel will say, “That was a powerful teaching, get the CD”. While they heard the teaching and were fully engaged, they are unable to transmit what they learned.

The strainer collects what they believe are the weightier parts of the teaching, but in the end, they missed the wine and captured the sediment.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law; judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Matthew 23:23

I am believing that you will be like the sieve, in every facet of your lives. Possessing the ability to recognize the weightier matters in torah, in business, in personal relationships, in every place you need to excel and take dominion (the good kind). I pray that you retain the finer points and replicate and transmit what you have learned to others, for the benefit of man and the Kingdom of Heaven.

In Genesis 2:7, “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”

Man (Adam) was created from the finest dust particles in the earth… Not the common dust of the ground, but stardust, the stuff of the cosmos–all the elements of creation that exist in the earth and our universe.

May you be always the student, who hails from the lineage of Adam, made of the finest particles of the universe, increase in discernment, spiritual reasoning, insight, knowing what to keep and what to cast off, recognizing and retaining the finest flour of which you yourself were created!

Pirkei Avos by Artscroll is available online via: https://www.sefaria.org/Pirkei_Avot?lang=bi

But Who Can Resist an Old Fashioned Book in the Hand!

This priceless collection of teachings on honesty, morality, ethical teachings, is quick and easy to read and re-read and refer to as a good companion to Torah Study. There are many treasures to be found, such as it’s focus on character improvement and self-refinement.

ELUL, ON THE 8TH DAY OF PRAYER…

Dwelling… in The Secret Place of Prayer

Today’s reading is Psalms 91-98 for August 27, Thursday.

As all blessings upon blessings would have it, wouldn’t you know it would be on the eighth day of praying the Psalms, that we begin with Psalms 91!

Awesome how counting down the Psalms together through Prayer worked out!

As I pray this Psalm over every friend, relative, visitor to the blog and every enemy who peeks in for a look, know that on the 8th day of Prayer it’s not only a day to rejoice, it’s a special day ordained for us to claim the victory With both hands!

Today By Providence…. We Are Leading Off Tonight in Prayer With The Psalm of Victory!

For those Mighty Men and Women of Valor, (You know who you are) that will read the 1st verse of this Psalm and say in their heart… “that does not apply to me, I don’t dwell under His shadow….“
Please know, that our tabernacle is big enough to cover you in prayer.
You’re covered!

PSALM 91 – the p’shat

He that dwelleth in the secret place ( hiding place, secret, place of study and prayer) of the most High shall abide (remain, pass the night) under the shadow (shadow of the image of GOD) of the Almighty —-and my tent of Prayer.

The secret place, your private, personal relationship with GOD. Study and prayer are fellowship with GOD… The study of torah is the highest form of worship, (Babylonian Talmud, Shabbat 30a)

2 We will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: My God; in Him will I trust.

3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A THOUSAND SHALL FALL AT THY SIDE and TEN THOUSAND at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

Those who operate in double mindedness, disobedience, doubt, you will see them fall at your side… but not those who operate in the full strength of the anointing, shall not fall!

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
You will see your enemies reward for their wickedness

9 Because thou hast made the Lord (YHVH), which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation (Our Dwelling Place, Our Answer, Our Response –to the World);

Everytime you read these prayers with us, everytime you recite them out loud, everytime you make mention of the Name of GOD, everytime you make time, even a moment, to say a prayer…The LORD will arise and go out before you… Just say His Name…

Just say, “I’m ready, just please go in before me…”, (He ALREADY Promised He would) Just say, “I’m ready to walk in these doors behind You”. (He ALREADY said you could)
Just say, “If GOD does not agree with with their decision, it can’t even be uttered, until they relent and say only what GOD has ordained over my life”. Just decree and declare, “I will suffer no judgement but GOD’s, – no matter who you see with your eyes or hear with your ears. There will be no judgement, until they submit and agree with GOD. Just say, “GOD Let’s make this phone call… and send your servant, ready to perform your will concerning me, can answer my call”

It’s time to trust HIM, to know when to go in, when to come out, when to make the call, when to not push, not get anxious, when to be still,

Ask, “Who in this place is a servant of The Most High GOD?

During this time—-WE AGREE, NOT TO ENTER INTO ANY BANNED BATTLES—-

It’s time to trust GOD, with all your heart and all your soul and all your might. Give them Strength LORD to walk by faith and not by sight. Impart upon them the spiritual level of courage that transcends courage in the earthly realm.

Jesus is praying for you, that your faith not fail!

Intercession is occurring for you on earth, right now, as it is in Heaven!

YOUR TWO OR MORE, are here– agreeing in this moment, about all matters concerning you!

Move out, Move forward…. MOVE —ONLY under the anointing of prayer!

10 There (Where prayer is) shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

Enemies of your soul

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

Call Him; El Shaddai (The GOD Who Overpowers), El Elyon (The Most High), YHVH (Adonai, Hashem), Yeshua HaMeshiach,

15 You shall call upon me, and I will answer You: I will be with You in trouble; I will deliver You, and honour You.

There’s a shift here… GOD is now talking, taking over the Prayer, saying, “I will be with you in trouble! I will deliver you, and honor you!” THANK YOU, LORD

16 With long life will I satisfy you, and shew you my salvation.

Your beloved ones, shall see Your salvation… Yeshua Ha Meshiach

All those with me in prayer LORD, all those you have given me to prayer for, they are dwelling with me in prayer in this tent, in our secret place of prayer and study, our place of contemplation, thanksgiving, and rejoicing.

Honor each soul, richly LORD, bestow honor upon them as never before, may they testify of Your Graciousness, Kindness, Charity, Love and Peace. May they begin to rehearse their testimony now, see their trials and tribulations come to a standstill. May they see those set in place to oppose them, removed, reassigned; reversed. Escort their confessions of faith through out their territory, by angelic assistance. For everyone of your people, shall overcome by the Word of their testimony and by the blood of the lamb.

We are carrying Your Word with us through every place that the soul of our foot shall tread in the Month of Elul, Your Word is all we have, it’s all we truly own, it’s all we really need…

Come for Your Word in Us… to Perform it!

Amen.

BANQUET OF PRAYER, Hebrew Language Studies

ELUL, I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine..

Just for a moment, let’s take a closer look at the Hebrew Word, ELUL.

Below is an excerpt from Biblehub.com; the Interlinear translation of Psalms 6:3.

https://biblehub.com/interlinear/songs/6-3.htm


In Song of Solomon 6:3, we have the beautiful verse, ah’knee luh-doe’dee vuh’doe’dee lee

meaning: I am of My Beloved and My Beloved is Mine

This Month on the Biblical Calendar is called ELUL…

ELUL, is written with four Hebrew Letters, aleph (A) – lamed (L)- vav (U)- lamed (L) (The Aleph carries an E sound). Ref: see the snapshot of Song 6:3 above, the first letter starting form the right is the Hebrew letter aleph).

Much like using an Internet acronym or text abbreviation, ELUL is a type of Hebrew acronym for the words: Ah’nee Luh-doe’dee Vuh’doe’dee Lee

The 1st letters in each Hebrew word in that phrase spell the name of the Biblical Month we are in right now… The Month of Elul

This offers us a beautiful picture with prophetic symbolism. In this we can see the connection to GOD in prayer that resides in this Month, devoting time in prayer and study, to the lover of our soul. An personal time of relationship and fellowship with GOD.

ELUL is the month on the Biblical Calendar dedicated to the search we conduct within our own soul to cleanse out all the clutter and evaluate our own actions so that we can come before GOD in earnest and rededicate ourselves to Him.

So, every time you hear yourself pronounce the word, ELUL (which I have plastered all over this BLOG, you are engaging in sweet prophetic shorthand saying, “I am my beloveds and my beloved is mine!

That’s an AMEN.

ELUL, ON THE 7TH DAY OF PRAYER

MOVING FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH…

Ref: ELUL, The Month of The Search… Praying The Lord’s Prayer IN HEBREW & ENGLISH

Ref: ELUL, OUR 29 DAY BANQUET OF PRAYER… TO HONOR THE KING OF GLORY!

It was 40 days journey from the brook Cherith to Mt. Horeb, when Elijah traveled there and lodged in a cave, when the word of the LORD came to him there… (1 Kings 17)

This prophetic prayer journey during Elul, will require 30 days to Rosh Hashanah- The Biblical New Year!

Our journey in prayer can be just as arduous in the spirit, as it was in the natural for Elijah, to arrive before GOD, in a place where we are believing to hear GOD’s Voice, clearer and sharper and better than ever before!

Today, we are reading and proclaiming Psalms 84-90 – August 26, 2020

Today, Dear LORD we stand before you longing to be in Your Tabernacles… to be once more in the Divine Courts of Our LORD.

Blessed are your beloved children – whose strength is in thee, and in their hearts are written Your Ways.

All that weep and long for you have been given to me in prayer, their tears you have collected in a well, in Baca, the valley of tears. Tears that were created in all their dry places, You will exchange these tears for rain.

We journey toward You in Elul, the Month of the search, until we reach you in the heights of Heaven by your Holy New Year. Each prayer draws us closer, higher heights, where we shall spend days rejoicing in Your Courts. Days that will be better to us than a thousand years!, for we are the Doorkeepers in the House of Our GOD.

Through his prayers, David taught us that You are our Sun and our Shield. He told us that, “There is no good thing will you withhold from those that walk uprightly.” Each day, may our prayers teach us, correct us, lead us and uphold us in our walk.

We have purposed in our hearts and declared with our mouth, that we will not dwell in the tents of wickedness… We are turned, and headed for the tents of torah.

We cry out for the Living GOD.

Blessed are those that cry out for you! Lavish our prayers for your people, all those that you have entrusted to us in prayer, favor them with blessings, abundance, protection and wisdom in their land.

Restore us, from every dry place where we are captive, open our eyes to the places where we have made camp in our captivity… shake us up LORD, in the places where we have become comfortable, entangled with familiar spirits, loose us LORD to see and to hear your call.

Fill our mouths with Your Words. Make us to hear, even the children you anoint to speak wisdom in our ears, cause their words to ride upon the frequency of Your Voice, turn us Oh, LORD toward Your rivers of Living Water. Salvation is of the LORD.

Behold! We stand at the door and knock! Our heads dripping with dew, our clothes damp with the dew of Heaven. We shall be relentless in our prayers LORD. We shall give you no rest, until we see the performance of our prayers upon every friend, neighbor, loved one, friends, friend that we have taken up in the cover of our prayers.

We ask LORD, for their treasures to be released to them on earth. May they each be open to receiving the Desires of Your Heart for them. May their prayers gather all of the Good Gifts that You have ordained for them. May they claim their gifts and callings, and pursue walking in them, wholeheartedly, earnestly, faithfully, with consecration and heartfelt devotion.

May our prayers united, allow us all to pass through Our LORD and King’s territory, safely. Every obstacle and hinderance removed. Their papers are in order and their documents approved by the King of Glory, witnessed by the Heavenly Court, signed by the Hand of GOD and delivered to all the provinces…

We dispatch Heavenly Chariots to escort each one through the Kings forest, we hold each one in prayer until they arrive at their divine appointment. We see angles round about them, in every place the sole of their foot shall tread.

To every issue and concern, every problem or situation that arise in their path, we declare they shall meet every obstacle with the pages of scripture.. they shall look on the biblical calendar and note the date that GOD has given them the victory!

Their lives shall be a triumphant, their accomplishments recorded in Heaven. Only the wise in heart shall know of them. Only the humble are allowed to see your prophets passing by. We thank GOD for every one of these lives we hold up in prayer! They are the Goodness of GOD to us!

Psalm 85:

Photo by Wendy van Zyl on Pexels.com

7 You have shown us Your Mercy LORD< You have granted us they salvation.

8 We will hear what God the Lord will speak: for He will speak peace unto His people, and to His saints: and we will not turn to folly again.

9 Your salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our lands.

10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.

12 Yea, the Lord has given that which is good; and our lands are yielding the increase.

13 May our righteousness travel before Him, as we run before Our LORD, and stand the watch and pray; May our consecration in prayer set us in the way of His steps.

The LORD Our GOD, never withholds a good thing from us!

AMEN

Note: 85:13- it was customary to honor the King by running before his chariot (1 Kings 1:5, 1 Kings 18:46, 1 Sam 8:11, 2 Sam 15:1)

TODAYS PSALMS: 77-83 TUESDAY AUGUST 25

ELUL, The Month of The Search… Praying The Lord’s Prayer IN HEBREW & ENGLISH

LORD, We offer prayer tonight for all those, including ourselves who have endured trouble. We are all standing before you in the midst of trouble now. Enemies are round about us, especially today.

We pray for defense against enemies seen and unseen, known and unknown, we seek Your help against all enemies, foreign and domestic, hidden or revealed, enemies that we see clearly, even the ones that we refuse to see…

We declare our enemies to be placed into a state of rigidity, we decree their weapons dismantled, their loins loosed, and their plans broken and scattered to the ends of the earth.

Search me LORD and try my reins, see if there be any wicked way in me…

Photo by Binti Malu on Pexels.com

We pray for our souls to be at peace, even times when we struggle to be comforted. We pray for those that are troubled, were troubled, feel troubled, for those who are restless, not sleeping, or so troubled that they can not speak…

May we call to remembrance how we use to sing in the night, being clothed in joy and thanksgiving, May we consider the past days filled with Your Glory, and make a diligent search of of our hearts. May each one of us, question our relationship with You… earnestly examine our relationship with Our GOD, during the Month of Elul.

Do we see you as that friend that will never leave us or forsake us? Do we question the favor of our GOD? Have we not seen your mercy and favor and promises come to pass in our life? Are you not better to us than our dearest friend? Do we ask for you to be gracious to us? to be gracious again? to be generous once more in the night and carry our soul to your throne and speak to us once more? and restore our soul every morning?

Photo by Wendy van Zyl on Pexels.com

Forgive us LORD, for every time we questioned Your Faithfullness, Your Dedication to us, to me. For every time I asked for more, when you have given all.
The Heavens were never shut to us, Your tender mercies have never failed to flow toward us. We have shut ourselves off to them through disobedience and every undisciplined, unaddressed character flaw, and yet, once again, I come to you with my prayer request in hand.

Be generous again… tonight LORD. Return my soul in the morning with memories of being at Your Throne, being in Your Presence, sitting at your feet and learning from you.

Fill me with torah dreams…dreams filled with revelation and wisdom and knowledge… I want to spend the night at Your Feet, in Your Council… In Your Classroom!

I decree and declare Your Torah will come to me in the night, Your Wisdom shall Rest upon my head, upon my pillow.

My hands shall be lifted up in prayer, even as I sleep, My Prayers shall go forth even as my soul rest, I shall speak words of healing and restoration over everyone on my prayer list, I shall speak the counsel of GOD, that you taught me, in the ears of my friends,

I shall rehearse Your Word in the atmosphere, while I breathe once more the Breath of Heaven while I sleep. Restore my soul to hear Your Voice as I did in my youth. Restore to me the wisdom of Torah I had in the womb. Give us Psalms to pray in the night and let us awaken with Torah on our lips. Torah thoughts, Torah dreams, Torah Visions.

May we arise tomorrow, Slow in speech, slow to anger, swift to hear and wise of heart.

We reclaim our voice in prayer, our rest, our joy, our peace, our vision, our insight, our dreams.

We reclaim the joy of our children, even those unborn. We cast down their spiritual strongholds, every demonic stranglehold and spirit of sabotage that has tried to discourage them, any and all oppressive spirits that have sought to capture their joy and peace and futures, is bound today. Every illegitimate, unauthorized voice in their lives shall become silent. You LORD, shut the mouths of lions, every predatory spirit that tries to speak to them shall stutter in their lies, their tongues shall be cleaved to the roof of their mouths, they shall entangle themselves in their lies, deceptions, every snare they set for our children shall ensnare them instead, we pour oil round about their threshold, their door points and decree and declare the enemy shall not pass their door posts, we anoint our children to pray in their sleep, they shall cast out by prayer every ungodly soul ties, we dispatch our prayers to assist them.

Photo by Snapwire on Pexels.com

They will not be tempted, provoked or lured in by the voice of the enemy. Our children remember the way to The LORDs Sanctuary and shall travel there, even as they sleep.
The Voice of The LORD shall lead them out safely from all darkness and danger, or despair, all the days of their lives.
We Thank You LORD, that You already sent Your Word to bind up every adversary who lays in wait. Nothing shall track or trace them in the spirit realm. We nullify all predatory and stalking spirits. We declare these words into 2021 and beyond.

Photo by James Wheeler on Pexels.com

Every prayer We have ever prayed for them shall arise in their presence, and our GOD, their GOD, shall send them help from the Sanctuary!

They shall arise with the strength to fight the lions and the bears, like David did. They shall arise to slay the lion like Sampson did, and return this time next year to find honey in the carcass. They shall rejoice in the place the enemies tried to attack or blindside them on their path. They shall show up with bread, and turn to call out every uncircumcised phillistine in their valley.

And this will be their 5 smooth stones… our prayers during the Month of Elul, our obedience to GOD, our vow to speak no loshon hara, our love of our neighbor, and our love of our GOD, The Most High.

And ALL OUR PRAYERS will come to pass because we remember the years of the right hand of the most High over us and over our House.

We remember the works of the Lord: surely we will remember thy wonders of old and await Your wonders right now!

We will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.

Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?

Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.

You are a Redeemer of the past, the present and the future. You are Worthy to be Praised.

It’s Already Done

Amen

MAY GOD ALWAYS FIND YOU DWELLING IN YOUR TENT!

Ever wonder how Adam spent his day in the Garden of Eden?

After the sin of Adam, he had to work the ground and prepare his own food. The garden, as they are still able to do, supplied his food. Imagine eating from the purest and most luscious of fruits. It had to be pretty awesome indeed!

We know his assignment in the garden was to “dress it and keep it” Genesis 2:15. We’ve talked about this before, but a question came up that I wanted to take time to review.

I mentioned that Adam was not required to prune or rake, etc. The trees grew on their own, pretty much like they do today. The Midrash teaches, something we might have missed, reminding us that a river went forth from Eden to water it (Gen 2:10), so no need to irrigate the garden.

What was the work that Adam had to do then?

Adam had to occupy himself with something that we don’t readily consider, but something that the scriptures often reminds us to do. “Meditate, day and night, in the study of Torah”

Adam had complete access to the Tree of Life in the midst of the garden. The Tree of life is the symbol of Torah.

Proverbs 3:18. She is a tree of life to those who grasp her, and whoever holds on to her is happy.

Adams work, was Labor in Torah.

Do you recall the scriptures teaching that, “ Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.” Genesis 25: 27

Dwelling in tents, is a Hebrew Idiom for studying the Torah.

Genesis 9:27 tells us, “GOD shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant”.

During this season, there are some Like you, who choose to dwell in their tents… which continues to this day to be an act of faith.

Jacob dwelled in his tent, studying Torah, like Abraham and Isaac before him. He chose to stay focused on the promises of GOD.

The Feast of Tabernacles is around the corner. A celebration of dwelling in the tents as a nation, and a commandment of GOD. LEV 23:42-43. “You shall dwell in booths for 7 Days”.

Remember when GOD dwelled among all of Israel, in the center of the camp when they we in the wilderness?

Jesus is the Master Rabbi, the Son of the Living GOD. He dwells in the Torah and that’s where we still find Him and GOD The Father.

Adam knew he did not have to plant fields and reap crops. The Torah fed his soul and nurtured him spiritually.

It’s the spiritual food we need more than anything today with water that will cause us to never thirst again.

May GOD Always find us Dwelling in the Tent!

Like we are doing now!
