May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble

12Apr2024

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London.

*May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble.*

2 Ch18 chapter is full of thrilling incidents and actions. When we're talking about prophets or prophecies, it's more important to focus on what the Lord is telling us than who's saying it. This is the most important thing.

Ahab and Jehoshaphat intended to confront Ramouth-gilead, the Arameans (Syrians). Micaiah, the son of Imla, contested the plan and challenged several of Ahab's false prophets, including Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah. Ahab held reservations about Micaiah because he rarely spoke favorably of him. However, this does not imply that Micaiah's statements were inaccurate or incorrect. The question remains: did his words originate from the Lord or not?

The deceptive spirit was given in the mouth of those false prophets. Micaiah revealed them, but no one believed him. The prophets mocked Micaiah. Both kings proceeded to the battle. The king of Aram focused and attacked Ahab, who was wounded and departed from the battle. The battle raged on that day, and Ahab remained propped up in his chariot facing the Arameans until dusk. Sadly, he passed away at sunset.

However Jehoshaphat called out for God's help when enemies were chasing, The Lord helped him by diverting them away from him and reached Jerusalem safely. Then the King Jehoshaphat reformed much more things to please God.

Ps 20:1 says that May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble. May the Name of the God of Jacob Set you securely on high and defend you in the battle.

When life gets tough, let's hit our knees and Pray. Remember, our God is like, super powerful. He's way bigger than any of our problems or enemies. So, let's Pray and ask Him to hook us up with what we need and Praise Him for keeping us safe.

‭Psalms 20:7] Some trust in chariots and some in horses, But we will remember and trust in the name of the Lord our God. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Peace be upon Israel and Us. 🙏🙏🙏
Have a Blessed weekend!!!
In His Grip..

God rewriting life stories

God rewriting life stories Reference Ps 18:20-24 Psalm 18:20–24 (The Message) captures David’s reflection on how God restored and renewed his life when he fully surrendered to Him. In Eugene Peterson’s paraphrase, the language feels vivid and personal—more like a heartfelt testimony than a formal psalm—showing how God restores, remakes, and redefines those who turn to Him. Amen. "God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to His eyes" is perhaps the most powerful image here. It shows that when David welcomed God into his innermost being, God transformed his story—redeeming it, reshaping it, and giving it new meaning and purpose. Hallelujah!  David says God “made my life complete” when he laid everything before Him, and that God “rewrote the text” of his life. This language highlights honest surrender, repentance, and the experience of being restored by God. 2 Corinthians 5:17 makes the same basic claim in a more compact form: “if anyone is in Chris...

I will Bless the Lord

I will bless the Lord, at all times...  Reference: Ps 34:1 - I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. One of the most important attitudes we can embrace in life is making it a habit to bless Him continually. I use the word “lifestyle” on purpose—it’s not just for when we feel like it, but also for when we don’t, because it’s essential. It’s not only about what we do, but who we are.  David’s steady commitment was clear in his words. He received countless blessings from the Lord even before he became well-known. Before everyone knew his name, the Lord knew him for his constant praise and gratitude. Out in the fields, tending sheep in the green pastures, he would sing, dance, and bless the Lord. That was David's preparation to the bigger assignments.  Verse 4 from this chapter really spoke to me: I sought the Lord, trusting in His word, and He answered me, delivering me from all my fears. So, I bless the Lord—Amen, Hallelujah. He...

Real battle, Different rules

Real battle, different rules Refer 2 Cor 10:3-6- NIV- For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds . 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete. Paul's tone changes sharply in 2 Corinthians 10. After pleading gently for generosity toward the poor, he turns to face his critics, and he is no longer soft-spoken. They claimed he was bold on paper but timid in person, a man who threatened discipline from a distance and would never dare follow through face to face. In short, they questioned whether he had the apostolic authority he claimed. Paul's answer was to describe his ministry as spiritual warfare. The world is unprinciple...
