On the Mountain it will be PROVIDED

 Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London - 28Feb2025

Reference Scripture: Gen 22:1-18 - The Lord provides the sacrifice and the blessings. 

The life of Abraham is the reference to all of us in many ways and perspectives. I have picked up this piece of the scripture to admire the faith and trust that he kept on the Lord to inspire us. 

The scripture started that some years later God decided to test Abraham. This is a challenge part- None of us to escape if God decided to test us- When was the last time we went through such testing phase- When we get closure to Him, we can recognize God's answers, navigations both to the mountains as well as to the valleys. 

Testing leads into path to triumph, however it's a difficult experience when we are in the testing window. As long as we know the purpose for receiving the promise, while we are waiting for the provision and permission to enter into the promotion, we will not hesitate to praise Him to the best possible ways and prepare ourselves to meet such problems. 

Abraham's life was full of surprises and successes from previous tests.

• He left his country, kindred, and father’s household as soon as God said to go to the land He would show him. "I WILL SHOW YOU" is the Master's method of leading us – He may not give us the details, but He promises to navigate us! Amen.
• He wandered across the fields of Canaan and faced famine before moving to Egypt. He waited for 25 years to receive his promised child, believing that God had the power to fulfil the promise He had given. Hallelujah!
• He managed the domestic dispute between Sarah and Hagar and guided Ishmael. He interceded with the Lord for Sodom and Gomorrah. He guided Lot and his family during the conflict between herdsmen over grazing land. When Lot was taken captive during a regional war, Abraham rescued him.

Despite all this, God decided to test him again. Phew! Who are we in comparison to the father of faith?

Abraham's New Test: 

Go and get you son, which I have given to you and go to the land of Moriah to burnt offer him in one of the mountains which I WILL SHOW YOU. 

Preparation

The heart and mindset of Abraham recorded in the Bible. He prepared well to meet the Lord's expectations. He knew that he must connect with the YHWH closely to detect the next steps. Example, To detect the mountain in the Moriah region among many mountains/ hills. He chopped wood for fire, prepared the son, 2 more young servants and donkeys to help during the journey. 3 full days of silent period before detecting the mountain that God determined. He looked up (1st time) and saw the place in the distance. He said to the servants in a prophetic way that We will come back, we will return, come again!

During the difficult conversation between Isaac and Abraham, question got fired, WHERE is the LAMB for the Sacrifice? He managed his emotions and said faithfully, GOD WILL PRPOVIDE The LAMB. 

Arrangements

On the mountain, Abraham build an altar, placed the wood, tied up Isaac, put him on the wood, took his knife and got ready to sacrifice his only begotten son. He heard the voice to stop, he looked up again (2nd time), saw a ram in a bush, which in fact travelling with them in parallel for 3 days and when God said stop to sacrifice Isaac, Abraham heard the noise of the Lamb. As He said to Isaac, GOD Provided the LAMB. He caught up the horns of the lamb, offered it as a burnt offering in the place of Isaac, called that place- THE LORD WILL PROVIDE. 

YHWH JIREH

Let us hear Abraham's statement, ON THE MOUNTAIN IT WILL BE PROVIDED. He passed the Test with distinction. Like Abraham, Let's also move ahead, progress, by faith not by sight, by holding God's hands, recognizing the Lord's voice. Our needs, answers, healings, breakthroughs, deliverance, Peace, Grace, Lovingkindness, Favour and our everything will be provided on the Mountain. YHWH JIREH will Provide the Sacrifice and the blessings. Father, Bless us, Multiply the generations to come, help descendants to posses the gates of their enemies, through our offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed.  Help us to fear YOU, not holding anything in front of You and seek you first and foremost to please You. In Jesus Name, Amen. 

Peace be Upon the State of the Israel and us.

Shalom. Have a Great weekend.

In His Grip.

Prayer builds a fellowship with The LORD

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London - 21Feb2025

Renowned Christian missionary Dr Wesley L Duewel described Prayer is much more than formal repetition of eloquent words strung together to impress the hearers, or quoting words from a book, or it's not based upon the well-planned strategies developed by our natural minds. 

Prayer itself is an art that only The Holy Spirit can teach us. He is the giver of all Prayer - C H Spurgeon

The Great victories Jesus experienced out on the frontlines as HE ministries to the needs of the people, teaching, opening blind eyes, unstopping deaf ears, healing all manner of diseases, raising the dead. These were not automatic. They were won before HE Went out on the frontlines in Prayer.

Prayer is the Key that unlocks all the storehouses of God's infinite Grace and Power - R A Torrey.

Friendship - What's up, God!! Hey there, God kind of conversation- While we must adore and revere Him with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength, God Himself wants us to be open- Check out the passage Exodus 33:12-22, where Moses is chatting with the Almighty- No matter how many times I read it, I can't help but admire his bold yet friendly approach with the Lord.  

Moses said to the LORD, "I know that you have told me to lead these people to the land you promised them. But you have not told me who my assistant will be. You have said that you are my friend and that you are pleased with me. If this is true, let me know what your plans are, then I can obey and continue to please you. And don't forget that you have chosen this nation to be your own." The LORD said, "I will go with you and give you peace." 

Partnership - 

The effectual fervent prayer a righteous man avails much (James 5:16). If two of you agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by my Father in heaven (Mt 18:19). This partnership between believers and God shows prayers can to significant outcomes The essence of prayer a collaborative relationship between disciples and the LORD, reflecting the impact and significance united, fervent prayer

Then Moses replied, "If you aren't going with us, please don't make us leave this place. But if you do go with us, everyone will know that you are pleased with your people and with me. That way, we will be different from the rest of the people on earth." So the LORD told him, "I will do what you have, because I am your friend and I am pleased with you."

Relationship -

The Lord near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth (Ps 145:18). This verse highlights the closeness of to those who pray, emphasizing the relational aspect of prayer as a means of drawing near to Him. It underscores importance of genuine and heartfelt communication with God, reinforcing the idea that sincere prayer fosters a deeper connection with the Lord. It's a reminder of the personal and intimate nature of, believers to seek God with honesty and authenticity.

Then Moses said, "I pray that you will let me see you in all of Your Glory." The LORD answered, "All right I am the LORD, and I show Mercy and Kindness to anyone I choose. I will let see my Glory and hear my Holy Name, but I won't let you see my face, because anyone who sees my face will die. There is a rock not far from me. Stand beside it, and before I pass by in all of my shining Glory, I will put you in a large crack in the rock. I will cover your eyes with my hand until I have passed by. Then I will take my hand away, and you will see my back. You will not see my Face."

Below are heartfelt prayers that Moses expressed in Exodus 33:12-22:

Let me know Your plans to obey You and continue to please.

Do not forget that we are Yours.

Do not lead us from here if You are not going in of us.

If You go with us, everyone will that You are pleased with Your people and me.

We will different from the of the world. We belong to You.

Let me see you in all of Your Glory.

These prayers are powerful, personal, and purpose. They are emotional, emergency, and exceptional. They are needs, necessities, and supernatural. Let us ask God like Moses did by building a relationship, partnership, friendship and fellowship with Him in our daily lives. God be with us as always. Amen and Hallelujah.

Peace be upon The State of Israel and Us.🙏 

Shalom. 🙏🙏

Have a Good weekend too.

Generational Prayer

Generational Prayer

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London- 14Feb25 

Generational Prayer involves praying for the well-being, guidance, and healing of both past and future family generations. It addresses any negative influences or patterns from ancestors while promoting blessings, forgiveness, and protection for future generations, fostering a strong spiritual connection across the family lineage.

Samuel was born in answer to Hannah's prayers

Hannah prayed silently to the LORD for a long time. But her lips were moving, and Eli thought she was drunk. Eli replied, “You may go home now and stop worrying. I'm sure the God of Israel will answer your prayer.” Later The Lord Blessed the couple with a son.  She named him Samuel because she has asked the Lord for him. “Sir,” Hannah said, “a few years ago I stood here beside you and asked the LORD to give me a child. Here he is! The LORD gave me just what I asked for. Now I am giving him to the LORD, and he will be the LORD's servant for as long as he lives.” 

Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife and said, “Samuel was born in answer to your prayers. Now you have given him to the LORD. I pray that the LORD will bless you with more children to take his place.” After Eli had blessed them, The LORD was kind to Hannah, and she had three more sons and two daughters. But Samuel grew up at the LORD's house in Shiloh. 

Samuel Prayed like his mother

Samuel begged the LORD to rescue Israel, then he sacrificed a young lamb to the LORD. Samuel had not even finished offering the sacrifice when the Philistines started to attack. But the LORD answered his prayer and made thunder crash all around them. The Philistines panicked and ran away. 

Samuel Prayed and God showed His Power

Just stand here and watch the LORD show his mighty power. Isn't this the dry season? I'm going to ask the LORD to send a thunderstorm. When you see it, you will realize how wrong you were to ask for a king. Samuel prayed, and that same day the LORD sent a thunderstorm. Everyone was afraid of the LORD and of Samuel. They told Samuel, “Please, pray to the LORD your God for us! We don't want to die. We have sinned many times in the past, and we were very wrong to ask for a king.”

Peace be upon The State of Israel and Us.🙏 
Shalom. 🙏🙏

Ps: 1 Samuel 1:12-13,17; 2:20-21; 7:9-10; 12:16-19 CEVUK

Barzillai

Barzillai is a figure mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the books of 2 Samuel and 1 Kings. He was a wealthy Gileadite from Rogelim who provided significant support to King David during a time of crisis.

### Barzillai's Role in the Bible:

1. **Support for David**: During Absalom's rebellion against David (2 Samuel 15-18), Barzillai, along with other loyal supporters, brought supplies to David and his followers while they were in exile. Barzillai provided food, bedding, and other necessities to sustain David's group during their time of need (2 Samuel 17:27-29).

2. **Loyalty and Kindness**: Barzillai's actions demonstrated his loyalty and generosity toward David. His support was crucial in helping David and his men survive during their flight from Absalom.

3. **David's Gratitude**: After David's victory over Absalom and his return to Jerusalem, Barzillai accompanied David part of the way back. David offered to reward Barzillai by inviting him to live in Jerusalem and be cared for in the royal court. However, Barzillai, being an old man, declined the offer, citing his age and desire to die in his own city (2 Samuel 19:31-39). Instead, he suggested that his servant Chimham take his place, which David accepted.

4. **Legacy**: Barzillai's name is later mentioned in 1 Kings 2:7, where David, on his deathbed, instructs Solomon to show kindness to Barzillai's descendants for their loyalty.

Barzillai is remembered as a symbol of loyalty, generosity, and humility in the biblical narrative. His actions highlight the importance of supporting leaders during times of trouble and the value of selfless service.

Judah to go first

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London -07Feb25 

Judah to go first!

Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab as the Lord said.  After some time later, Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died at the ago of 110 at the land of Ephraim. These two prominent leaders (Moses and Joshua) were gone and a big void in the leadership role created. They both had experienced all the Works of the Lord that the Lord had done for Israel.  However the Israelites quickly got the prompt to ask the LORD. When they asked the Lord who should go first to conquer the unoccupied lands to the rest of the tribes? The Lord said the plan to execute. 

3 things happened as a result of the Prayer. 

1. The Lord responded, Answered. God is Prayer answering Lord. In this case, He gave a clear guidance, strategy that is applicable to us as well. Prayer connects us to God, the Lord. 

2. Let Judah go first! Who is Judah, Leah's 4th child, boy. One of the Prominent and Powerful tribes. Leah named her child as Judah. That means, now I Praise the Lord. When we offer Praises freely, always, at all places and without any hesitation, that Life style will occupy God to be with us very closely. He inhabits among our Praises. HE dwells in our Thanksgiving. Our God wants to guide us by showing His love from generation to generations. Exalting about Him, by confessing, who is He? and What He has done?. 

3. Am about to handover the land to you Judah. He will help us. His Protection, Healing, Peace, Anointing shall cover more closely today and forever. KJV says, I have delivered the land into Judha's hand. A promise before even they went out to battle and conquer. Hallelujah.

May we send our Judah first in this month, to claim the unclaimed blessings, seek unexpected, ask for solution in the impossible situations. In Psalms 105:44-45 CEVUK- [44], The Lord gave them the land and everything else the nations had worked for. [45] He did this so that HIS people would obey all HIS laws. Shout praises to the LORD!

Psalms 65:2 CEVUK- Everyone will come to YOU because YOU answer prayer. Amen.

Peace be upon The State of Israel and Us.🙏 

Shalom. 🙏🙏

Have a Good weekend too.
