Jun 2024 Distractions (Digital) damages the Divine interactions.

Distractions (Digital) damages the Divine interactions. 

The Adonai used Elijah to perform miracles of the fire (in opposition of 1:450 false prophets) followed by the water (in drought with Ahab), however he has to deal carefully to be focused what is the next in the God's agenda with out any distractions. We can not face our new challenges by using yesterday's (fire and water miracles to be managed as He guides) experience. He prayed in a posture by asking God to show mercies and his servant kept looking the formation of the miracle in the form rain after a heavy drought. 

James 5:17-18 CEV‬- [17] Elijah was just as human as we are, and for three and a half years his prayers kept the rain from falling. [18] But when he did pray for rain, it fell from the skies and made the crops grow.

• Jesus taught us to face every season by asking Him, like give us our daily bread. We must listen to Him from all distractions to stay focused, 

• David would have easily killed King Saul in the Cave at En Gedi, if he had listened to his troops, however he kept reminded himself not to put hands on God's anointed.

• In Damascus, Disciple Annaias heard from the Lord to open the eyes of the Paul by getting clear instructions-Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying. Paul's transformation and insights from the Lord Jesus Christ fulfilled. 

• Though Hannah was provoked to the level of irritation by Peninnah, she was ready to break the complacency in her life by praying God to birth Samuel.

May the new beginnings rain upon our families and churches in Jesus Name. Let's be in touch with Him constantly, over any distractions (including busyness), to experience His directions in our lives. 

‭Hebrews 12:2] looking away from all that will distract us and focusing our eyes on Jesus, who is the Author and Perfecter of faith the first incentive for our belief and the One who brings our faith to maturity, who for the joy of accomplishing the goal set before Him endured the cross, disregarding the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God revealing His deity, His authority, and the completion of His work.
Wishing you a Joyful Jun 2024. 

Peace be upon Israel and Us. Shalom. 🙏
In His Grip...

Boldness

Boldness Reference: Heb 4:12-16 We do not have to tiptoe toward God. We can always enter His presence—not only when in need, full, or facing challenges. His Word pierces soul and spirit, joints and marrow. He knows our thoughts and intentions before we ask or think. So the author of Hebrews urges us: boldly approach the throne of Grace. Receive daily bread, seasonal help, mercies, and Grace He has already arranged. In time of need, at the right time, He will help us. As Peter assured, submit obediently in His hand. Confidence: Not because the week went well. Not because your prayers feel mature. Because the curtain tore. Confidence isn't arrogance. It's knowing God left the door open.  The barrier didn't get thin—it split wide open. The King on the throne is also our High Priest. He knows our weakness from the inside. We are not interrupting Him. We have been invited. Gentle invitation. Urgent invitation. If Grace finds us and fills the room, what happens to the pressure to...

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer Reference - 1 Sam 17, Ps 59 and 2 Sam 15 David was known as a man after God’s own heart, as witnessed by God Himself. The Bible reveals many reasons for this, but one of the most notable is his unwavering faith—trusting God completely and placing all his hope in the One who is more than able to guide him. I would like to discuss three scenarios and observe his responses to inspire our faith and draw us closer to Him. 1) When the Israelite army fled from Goliath, David stood his ground, boldly declaring the giant’s defeat before the fight even began, trusting entirely in the Name of the Lord rather than physical weapons. With a single stone, David struck Goliath down, vindicated God’s Name, routed the Philistine army, and proved to all that the battle belongs to the Lord. He proclaimed victory before the clash, relying not on spear, sword, or javelin, but on the Lord’s power. David said, in 1 Sam 17:45-47, “You come against me with sword,...

Prayer is tactical, transactional and transformative practice in the Bible.

Yes, prayer in the Bible is indeed **tactical**, **transactional**, and **transformative**. Each of these aspects highlights a different dimension of prayer, showing its depth and power in the life of a believer. Let’s explore these three dimensions with biblical examples and insights: --- ### **1. Prayer is Tactical** Prayer is a **spiritual weapon** and a strategic tool in the believer’s life. It is used to engage in spiritual warfare, seek God’s guidance, and advance His kingdom. - **Biblical Example**: **Ephesians 6:18**     Paul instructs believers to "pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." This is part of the "armor of God," showing that prayer is a tactical weapon in spiritual battles.    - **Application**:     Prayer is not passive; it is an active, intentional practice to combat evil, break strongholds, and bring God’s will to earth. It is a way to align ourselves with God’s strategies and overcome th...
