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..

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...
