Recognise JESUS - Prayer

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London- 23May2025

Scripture Reference: Pr 3:6

Recognizing JESUS's presence is a unique and deeply personal experience, varying from individual to individual as it is guided by the Lord. However, we can draw inspiration from the lives of the men and women in the Bible, learning how they embraced this profound experience in their journeys.

It can be simple and challenge or easy and complex or quick and long waiting or  short duration to extended period or immediate to require patience. It's profound life journey of faith, reflection and openness to HIS guidance. 

In all our ways acknowledge, know and recognize HIM, He will make our paths straight, Guide our steps rightly and remove obstacles that block our ways

Let us approach this matter with mindfulness. It is possible for two individuals to attend the same session or meeting and come away with entirely different experiences. The Scripture reveals the secret: to recognize HIM. TODAY-NOW-FRESH movements with HIM are indeed possible. Conversely, the opposite experience can also occur, within a Church setting.

The Bible highlights, in all our ways to Recognise HIM, Know HIM and Acknowledge HIM. Whether we are in the moment of triumph or in the seasons of waiting and uncertainty. HE is also very eager to communion with us. If we are seeking ways to deepen this experience, Prayer with Worship, and Scripture reading are powerful practices that can help.

Engaging in heartfelt Prayer with heartful gratitude creates a space to Recognise HIM. When we approach HIM with sincerity and thanksgiving, we open our hearts to recognise HIS guidance, Love and Peace. Amen. Gratitude shifts our perspectives, helping us to see God's hand in both Joy and challenging moments of the Life. It turns our Prayers from mere requests into meaningful conversations with HIM. When we acknowledge HIM and HIS blessings- small and big - we become more attuned to HIS presence surrounding us.

King Jehoshaphat's Prayer in 2 Ch 20, acknowledging HIS Power and expressing deep trust in HIM. Instead of panicking, he led the people of Judah in worship, thanksgiving, declaring, GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD, FOR HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER. They Praised and Prayed. The Lord caused confusion among their enemies, leading to their defeat without Judah having to fight.

Hannah's Prayer for a child (1 Sam1:9-20), Solomon's Prayer for Wisdom (1 Kg 3:5-14), David's Prayer for repentance (Ps 51), Paul's Prayer for Spiritual Growth (Eph 3:14-21) and Jonah's Prayer from the big fish (Jonah 2:1-10) carries profound lessons on Faith, Trust and Communication with the Lord. They have recognised HIM in their ways (overall direction of Life) and in their paths (specific steps or journey within that broader way).

Peace be upon the State of Israel and us. Shalom. Have a Good Long Weekend. 

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). ...
