The Adonai's Crescent

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London. The Lord bestows Grace and Favour and Honour The Bible confirms, in Ps 84:11 that The LORD will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right. In other words, No good thing does YHWH withhold from those who walk uprightly, with integrity and blameless. This is the experience of David and multiple millions of the believers who have been witnessing the Faithfulness of the Lord among us.  As we are concluding 2024 in few days, Let us take a stock of the things that the ADONAI Graciously showered upon us, His miracles, guidance, favour, strength, care, love, protection, provision, promises, prophecies and faithfulness. In Luke 10, Mary seated herself at the LORD's feat, to continually listen to HIS teaching, heard HIS Word to what the Master taught and absorbing every revelation HE shared.  Instead of embracing Martha's footprints, by blaming, comparing, complaining, getting distracted, keeping ourselves very busy with numerous chores, pr...

When asked if he really believed what the great evangelist preached, Hume replied, "Certainly not! But he does, and I want to hear a man who truly believes what he says!"  • Jesus spoke to the nobleman about his son's healing. Jesus is healing our souls, bodies, and spirits.

There is no need to fear any kind of disease or sickness.

 Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London.  In search of the one to make it 100 Jesus is always ready and does impossible things. There is nothing too difficult for Him. He said to His disciples that if a man has got 100 sheep and he lost one, will he not leave the 99 and go in search of the 1 that is lost? It's a question mark. He did, and He will. Because of this kind of search, He revealed to us His Grace as well. Otherwise, we would have despaired had we not believed that we would see the Goodness of the Lord in the land of Living. ( Ps 27:13-14). Amen.  Apostle Mark records an unchained Gerasene demonic possessed man, living in the cemetery tied up with chain, homeless, Jobless, worthless, unclothed, cutting himself, always screaming and no chains can hold him. But Jesus reached this man. Seeing Jesus, he ran up and bowed down in respect. This person becomes that 1 sheep to complete 100, an extra care shown by Jesus to transform the life.

 Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London. Prayer gets attention to God in every detail of our lives David (1 Samuel 17:36), Elisha (2 Kings 6:17), King of Hezekiah and Peter (Acts 3:6) all saw God almighty, God’s Armies, God’s presence, God’s power.  The common denominator that reflects from their life was that they were Prayer warriors. They understood knack of connecting with the Lord and allowed the God our Lord to operate in their lives. ‭Psalms 37:23 AMP‬- [23] The steps of a [good and righteous] man are directed and established by the Lord, And He delights in his way [and blesses his path]. If we do what God wants, He'll make sure every step we take is safe. He loves every little thing about our lives, enjoys our ways, and protects those who please Him.

 Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London. Stay awake - Keep watch- Get up- Pray- Revise again 2 Ch 32- During a time of crisis when the city was under siege by the enemy, King Hezekiah took immediate action to protect his people. He recognized the importance of securing the water supply as a first step in ensuring the city's survival. Additionally, he constructed defensive walls, appointed military leaders, and rallied the citizens to unite against the threat. While these measures demonstrated strategic thinking and leadership, it is crucial to acknowledge the absence of seeking divine guidance and relying solely on human efforts. Subsequently, the enemy intensified their psychological warfare by spreading discouragement and fear among the populace. They employed various tactics such as sending discouraging messages, writing letters, and shouting in the local language to instill terror. In response to this escalation, King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah joined forces in prayer. They soug...

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,...

 Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London.  Pray Continually-  Jesus says to us, let's do it Luke 22:40] When He arrived at the place called Gethsemane, He said to them, “Pray continually that you may not fall into temptation.” After a fully scheduled day of activities, preparing for Passover, and having the Last Supper with His close associates, Jesus went out to the Mount of Olives as was His habit, and His disciples followed Him. There are many things He told them in the past, however at this place, Gethsemane, He said unto them, * Pray Continually  *🤲🙏. He gave the reason to Pray. • Not to get into temptation, • Not to be tested, • Not to give into trails. • If we may summarize this understanding, Jesus had a custom of regularly visiting the Mount of Olives, where He would engage in extended periods of prayer. This practice aided Him in adhering steadfastly to the Father's purpose and plan until the appointed hour. Amen. Let's also make it a habit to *Pray Continuously...

 Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London.  The Healing Power to the Daughter A father named Jairus, a leader of the local synagogue, came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come home with him, his only daughter, who was about twelve years old, was dying. He went with him. But He was surrounded by the multitudes.  Dr. Luke respectfully mentioned between two verses in 8:48 and 50 that a miracle within a miracle can occur if we are aware of His Encouragement, Revelation and Power of the Word. Christ took a moment to heal a woman who had been sick for 12 years, even though he was on his way to help a young daughter who was dying and had been suffering for the same number of years as the woman had been sick. Amen. In v48, Jesus heart detected the touch of faith. He calls her ‘Daughter’, the only woman whom He addressed by such a name, *Go in Peace*, her faith, not her finger, had been the medium through which His healing power had reached her.   This inciden...

 Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London.  The Power of the Spoken Word raised Lazarus from the temporary death When Jesus learned that his friend Lazarus was ill, He calmly reassured His disciples, saying, "This illness does not lead to death. Rather, it serves a higher purpose, for it will bring Glory to God and demonstrate the divine power of the Son of God. Even before hearing the news about Lazarus, Jesus already knew the ultimate outcome." *Christ's delays are not a denial of His love, but rather a postponement in accordance with His Divine Will. We can make prayers with true faith and submission. Our desperation will not alter the destiny designed by our Eternal Father. However, if we are impatient, we may encounter crossroads or unexpected results. Instead of struggling to comprehend the mystery or feeling overwhelmed by the demands it places on our faith, would it not be more prudent for us to embrace the Apostle's brief statement and perceive it as a small window t...

 Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London.  The one touch of the Lord has a twofold effect- Peter Escaped- Herod Died   The Acts 12 shows how God is super Powerful and in charge, even when people are being mean and unfair.  God's intervention happened when the man of God held up in the Prison, the early Church's persecution under King Herod Agrippa. *The early church Prayed for Peter's Miraculous escape* Herod Agrippa begins persecuting the Church, executing James, the brother of John. Seeing the Jews' approval, he proceeds to arrest Peter during the Feast of Unleavened Bread, intending to bring him to trial after Passover. Peter is kept in prison, placing him under the guard of four squads of four soldiers each (Peter vs 16 soldiers),  but the *Church prayed* fervently for him.  On the eve of Peter's trial, an angel of the Lord wakes him, freeing him from his chains and leading him out of the prison. Peter initially thinks he is dreaming, but upon realizing his fr...

 Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London.  Hillside filled with the Fire of the Lord - His Power displayed The king of Aram is at war with Israel, but every plan he makes is revealed to the King of Israel by Elisha. Frustrated, he learns that it is Elisha who has been disclosing his strategies, the very words he speak in his private boardroom. The king sends strong forces to capture Elisha. They went by night and surrounded the city. The entire king's army turned up to capture the prophet Elisha.  The equation is not balanced. It's 1:M. Outnumbered. However, the real truth is that THE ADONAI + the chosen person by Him = Majority. Without this awareness, the servant asked, "Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?” Don’t be afraid,” Elisha answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” Hallelujah. 😊 ‭2 Kings 6:17 NLT‬- Then Elisha prayed, “O Lord, open his eyes and let him see!” The Lord opened the young man’s eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hills...

He was a landowner's son and a successful farmer, however was chosen by God to be the successor of the prophet Elijah. Elisha is known for performing many miracles, wonder-worker, Political influencer, Advisor and delivering God's messages to the people of Israel. There are many testimonies to pick up about his life, however am choosing this conversation between Elisha and his servant from 2 Kg 6. The King of Syria very furious for not having any clue at all, how did the King of Israel know his war strategy, plan of attack, the techniques that he spoke to his close servants? He was asking his troops, will you not tell me which of us is helping or show me which of us is working for the King of Israel? After realising that it was a prophet who is telling the se...

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London.  *Hannah Praying*  The lives of biblical figures challenge us to emulate their prayerful lifestyle. Their stories inspire us to persevere in prayer, trusting in God's ability to work through our petitions. Hannah, barren and sorrowful, cried out to the Lord. Her heart ached for a child, and she sought comfort in prayer. Though loved by her husband Elkanah and devoted to the Lord, her womb remained closed. Peninnah, her rival wife, mocked her, adding to her pain. She sought ADONAI'S intervention, promising to dedicate her future child to THE LORD’S service. Her prayer was heartfelt, passionate, and filled with both anguish and hope. Moved by Hannah's heartfelt plea, God answered her prayer. She conceived and gave birth to a son, whom she named Samuel. True to her promise, she dedicated Samuel to the LORD’S service, entrusting him to the care of the high priest, Eli. Hannah's life and prayer serves as an inspiration for the church today i...
