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. 
In His Grip...🙏🙏🙏

At the altar, our destiny is altered

At the altar, our destiny is altered... Reference-  Job 37:23-24 MSG “Mighty God! Far beyond our reach!     Unsurpassable in Power and Justice!     It’s unthinkable that HE would treat anyone unfairly. So bow to HIM in deep reverence, one and all!     If you’re wise, you’ll most certainly worship HIM.” God is unfolding His story in His own way. The Sovereign and Supreme Ruler is in control of everyone, everything, and everywhere, and the accuser must seek His permission before acting against us. He sees us as His own, and we belong to Him just as He belongs to us. As Job said, God can do all things, and no purpose of His can be stopped (42:2). The Just and Righteous Judge – Our God is fundamentally just, and it’s unthinkable that He would treat anyone unfairly. His rule and governance are righteous, even if at times our eyes, ears, and hearts may not fully understand. The source of all wisdom and revelation is God , whose knowledge is complete unlike ...

God's way is the Power

God's way is God's Power Reference- 1 Cor 4:20 MSG -  God’s Way is not a matter of mere talk; it’s an empowered life!! In 1 Corinthians, Paul speaks to a divided church where some were proud, eloquent, and believed they were spiritually superior because of their words and wisdom. He contrasts this human pride with the true power of God, shown in the cross, in changed lives, and in the work of the Spirit, the God's Power. It’s an empowered life—God’s ways are the true power, not found in mere talk, endless words, idle chatter, or impressive responses built on layers of discussion. It is a life empowered by the power of His Spirit, the presence of the Holy Spirit. It is power that breaks chains, sets us free, anoints us, and creates new opportunities, fresh paths, flourishing streams, divine strategies, abundant life, and limitless expansion. Paul didn’t ask the Corinthians to be practical . It’s not about having everything, but about having Him alongside others. That’s why h...

Efforts that counts...

Efforts that counts... Reference- 2 Ch 17  Context: King Jehoshaphat was a seeker and follower of the God of his father and was obedient to HIM; he wasn’t like Israel (at that time, Ahab was ruling Israel). And God secured the kingdom under his rule, gave him a firm grip on it. And everyone in Judah showed their appreciation by bringing gifts. Jehoshaphat ended up very rich and much honoured. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone - Apostle James in 2:17 Efforts that showed his intention to Seek and Keep Him: Sticking to the ways of Asa (his godly father). Rejecting Baal — non-conformity to the ungodly culture. Removing high places and Asherah poles. This is personal reformation — the king putting his own house in order spiritually. Efforts that enabled others to Seek and Keep Him: Building defences — not just military, but spiritual covering. Sending teachers throughout Judah with the “Book of the Revelation of God” (likely the Torah or existing OT Scriptures). ...
