A NEW YOU IN THE NEW YEAR!

LOOKING FOR AN AWESOME NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION?

Usually, at least one resolution is about food. How about this year you combine diet with growing your relationship with Abba Father ... honoring His commands about food is one way.
"Did you know that God is concerned about what you eat? Have you examined what the Word of God says about the existence of clean and unclean animals before Moses? Did you know that what you eat can affect your soul? Did you know that Gentile believers ate according to Leviticus 11 in New Testament times? Over the years, our traditions and carnal appetites have skewed our interpretation of what the Old and New Testaments teach about food. We have also taken many Scriptures out of context as prooftexts to justify our eating habits. Isn’t it time to return to a lifestyle that is completely biblical? Eating God’s Way provides an honest and balanced hermeneutical examination of every major Scripture that deals with what God wants us to eat, what He wants us to avoid, and why. Let Eating God’s Way become your handbook for learning (and explaining) God’s instruction for spiritual and physical health!" Eating God's Way by Dr. Michael K. Lake

A Prayer for the Reign of Grace over Your Life from Pastor Mark Driscoll

This prayer is too significant and needed by some not to share it as much as possible--by me, by you--with anyone in need of grace for one or more of the challenges listed in Pastor Mark's prayer. The link to his knock-your-socks-off teachings on the book of Romans is listed below.

For the Christian who is aware of their sin, and the pains and problems it causes, we can be so consumed looking down in shame that we forget to look up and see our Lord Jesus Christ ruling and reigning over our lives. Thankfully, His reign is a reign of grace that rains down grace upon our lives in the times and ways that we need. I prayed this prayer over the dear people at The Trinity Church in Scottsdale where I pastor and I am praying it over you as well. 

  1. Dear shame-filled saint who gives grace to others but not to yourself - The Holy Spirit has grace for you to cover your shame forever in Jesus’ righteousness. Receive the grace of God! 
  2. Dear religious saint who keeps making rules and punishing people – The Holy Spirit has grace for you both to transform your relationships with God and others. Receive the grace of God!   
  3. Dear theological saint who keeps making God into a concept to master rather than a Person who is a friend – The Holy Spirit has grace to pour out the love of Jesus into your heart. Receive the grace of God! 
  4. Dear burdened saint who is haunted by your past – The Holy Spirit has grace for you to transfer your burdens to Jesus who carries them for you and with you. Receive the grace of God!  
  5. Dear abandoned saint who keeps getting disappointed in people who ignore and use you when you need them most – The Holy Spirit has grace for you from Jesus who will never leave nor forsake you. Receive the grace of God! 
  6. Dear weary & broken saint who is struggling to pull it together – The Holy Spirit has grace to heal you and strengthen you and will not stop until you are with Jesus and like Jesus. Receive the grace of God! 
  7. Dear failed saint who feels they don’t measure up – The Holy Spirit has grace to lift you up into the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Receive the grace of God! 
  8. Dear addicted saint who is ensnared by a dark desire – The Holy Spirit has grace to set you free and change your desires because who the Son sets free is free indeed. Receive the grace of God! 
  9. Dear fearful saint who is anxious about the future – The Holy Spirit has grace waiting for you in the darkness of tomorrow from Jesus who rules the future. Receive the grace of God!  
  10. Dear controlling saint who fears that giving people too much grace will permit them to sin – The Holy Spirit has grace that not only forgives and covers us but transforms and empowers us. Receive the grace of God!

WHY ARE WE A DIVIDED NATION, YOU ASK?

EACH SEES THE OTHER AS DELUDED. ONLY ONE OF THEM IS CORRECT.

Question: "Why is God going to send a strong delusion in the end times?"

[Copies and pasted from https://www.gotquestions.org/strong-delusion.html]

Answer: The Bible makes it clear why God is sending a strong delusion in the end times: “They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness” (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12). Simply put, God sends a strong delusion to those who choose not to believe the gospel of Christ. Those who take delight in mocking and rejecting Him, He will condemn.

It is a person’s choice whether to accept and believe the truth of Jesus Christ as presented in the Scriptures. To receive the truth and the love God offers is in keeping with its teachings, “This is love for God: to obey His commands” (1 John 5:3). Conversely, to know the truth and not obey it is to face the wrath of God: “The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness” (Romans 1:18). Frankly speaking, there is no more dangerous condition for man than to know the truth and refuse to obey it. To do so is to harden the heart and make God’s condemnation sure.

When one knows the truth and refuses to obey it, he is subject to any lie, any deception, any untruth that humanity can conjure up. “For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him nor gave thanks to Him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools” (Romans 1:21-22). Paul goes on in the next few verses to describe the mindset and behaviors of those who disbelieve (see Romans 1:29-31). As a result of human foolishness and arrogant disdain of the things of God, “God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done” (Romans 1:28). And correspondingly, “Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things, but also approve of those who practice them” (Romans 1:32).

Isaiah puts it succinctly: “They have chosen their own ways, and their souls delight in their abominations; so I [God] also will choose harsh treatment for them and bring upon them what they dread. For when I called, no one answered, when I spoke, no one listened. They did evil in My sight and chose what displeases Me” (Isaiah 66:3-4).

When people know the truth and refuse to receive it, when they refuse to obey it and hold it in unrighteousness, “they will be condemned for enjoying evil rather than believing the truth” (2 Thessalonians 2:12 NLT).

“God is love” (1 John 4:16). He is not some cruel monster who deliberately and inwardly delights in preparing people for everlasting condemnation. But He earnestly and lovingly proclaims the gospel of Christ, “not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9).

Throughout the Scriptures, God urges people to accept the truth. But when people reject Him and spurn His message, then—and not until then—God hardens them and turns them over to a deluded mind to wallow in their wickedness to their eternal damnation. This is what the Lord says about those who choose to reject the truth: “They greatly love to wander; they do not restrain their feet. So the Lord does not accept them; He will now remember their wickedness and punish them for their sins” (Jeremiah 14:10).

SURVIVE AT ALL COSTS?

CHANGE THE WORD "ATOMIC" TO "COVID" IN THIS C. S. LEWIS WRITING BELOW, AND YOU SEE THIS MESSAGE APPLIES IN EVERY AGE . . . BECAUSE IT IS FOUNDED UPON TRUTH.




On Living in an Atomic Age
.
by C. S. Lewis


In one way we think a great deal too much of the atomic bomb. ‘How are we to live in an atomic age?’ I am tempted to reply: ‘Why, as you would have lived in the sixteenth century when the plague visited London almost every year, or as you would have lived in a Viking age when raiders from Scandinavia might land and cut your throat at night; or indeed, as you are already living in an age of cancer, an age of syphilis, an age of paralysis, an age of air raids, an age of railway accidents, an age of motor accidents.

In other words, do not let us begin by exaggerating the novelty of our situation. Believe me, dear sir or madam, you and all whom you love were already sentenced to death before the atomic bomb was invented… It is perfectly ridiculous to go about whimpering and drawing long faces because the scientists have added one more chance of painful and premature death to a world which already bristled with such chances and in which death itself was not a chance at all, but a certainty.

If we are all going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things—praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts—not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs. They may break our bodies (a microbe can do that) but they need not dominate our minds...

What the atomic bomb has really done is to remind us forcibly of the sort of world we are living in and which, during the prosperous period before, we were beginning to forget. And this reminder is, so far as it goes, a good thing. We have been waked from a pretty dream, and now we can begin to talk about realities...

It is our business to live by our own law not by fears: to follow, in private or in public life, the law of love and temperance even when they seem to be suicidal, and not the law of competition and grab, even when they seem to be necessary to our own survival. For it is part of our spiritual law never to put survival first: not even the survival of our species. We must resolutely train ourselves to feel that the survival of Man on this Earth, much more of our own nation or culture or class, is not worth having unless it can be had by honorable and merciful means.

Nothing is more likely to destroy a species or a nation than a determination to survive at all costs. Those who care for something else more than civilization are the only people by whom civilization is at all likely to be preserved. Those who want Heaven most have served Earth best. Those who love man less than God do most for man....

Let the bomb find you doing well.

ALL IN ALL, YOU'RE JUST ANOTHER BRICK???

About Bricks

While the Tower of Babel was made of bricks, their use for an altar to God is forbidden in Scripture (Deuteronomy 27:5). God requires uncut stones for His altar because it represents the body of Christ and the power of our sanctified uniqueness in its construction. Nimrod and the spirit of Babylon demand conformity, uniformity, and interchangeability. With this in mind, you can now better understand many of the current political winds within the Progressive and Socialistic Movements worldwide--from wealth redistribution to removing the distinction of the sexes toward a unisex philosophy. We must all conform and be interchangeable, so we can serve as bricks in the new Tower of Babel that the Illuminati Elite are building.

The above is a Briefing Note excerpt from Dr. Michael K. Lake's book, The Shinar Directive: Preparing the Way for the Son of Perdition, published in 2014.


Here's the (familiar to some) Pink Floyd song, with lyrics--but please finish reading this brief message before you go to the song--thanks!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN5Z28Dfl7o

2014 -- 6 years ago as I write this. And don't we all feel the Progressive pressure these days to fall into place, with or without covid. Thankfully, you are not and never will be "just a brick" to our Lord God, the Almighty, in Whose image you and all humans are wonderfully made.

Here's the EU (European Union) Tower of Babel poster. Please note that the humans are -- bricks. Also notice the Baphomet-styled stars. I highly recommend Dr. Lake's books--all of them, starting with this one, where he explains more about what stars represent and the significance of how they're positioned. (If you don't know who Baphomet is, look it up. Some of the bigger box stores sell Baphomet items these days. Like bricks in a wall, the dots connect; you just have to be able to discern dots when you see them. Ask God to instruct you about this.)

May God's peace and strength fill you and yours. In Jesus' name. Amen

ANOTHER REASON FOR JUDAS

     Everything included in the Bible is for us to learn from in some way and measure, including why Jesus--knowing who Judas was and what he'd do--allowed Judas to be with Him from almost the start of His ministry, until the betrayal in Gethsemane. I'm going to skip over the obvious reason and move on to one that came to me during time in the book of Mark this morning:

    Judas was never all-in as a true follower of Jesus

    And this made me think of the prophecy Jesus spoke of, about how some who believe they are Christians will Do Church, maybe even for decades, but never actually Be the Full-On Church Jesus instructed His followers to be, which is another way of taking the Lord's name in vain... taking it on in vain and not actually representing Him as we're supposed to.

    Not only that, but how many of us who call ourselves Christians could hold up under what some in the world are experiencing? If we really are in the End Times, and if Tribulation is about to unfold, how many will "endure to the end"?

    It's something for all of us to think about. I mean, Judas was with Jesus pretty much every day for three years. A 24/7 gig. And he still didn't get it. Why? He never surrendered his life to the purposes of God. I get it: It can take a while to reach that point for some of us, but it is required. That takes absolute trust in God. 

    My prayer, uttered nearly every day and often more than once a day, especially if I feel myself judging another or others (or did it), is to repent and ask God to open the eyes, ears, hearts, and minds of ALL OF US to His Truth, His Righteous Ways, and His Kingdom Ways so we walk in Kingdom and represent our King well in the world and in the spiritual battle we're engaged in. Because, we want to be those who not only stand but withstand, as instructed in Ephesians 6 and elsewhere in the Word.

    May the peace, joy, and strength of our Lord be upon you and your loved ones. In Jesus' name. Amen.




HOW CAN YOU PROVE YOU LOVE JESUS?

Christ Jesus determines who are His by the Weapons of War, the Sword, that He observes in their hands: "Whoever says, 'I know Him,' but does not keep His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps His word, in him truly the love of God is perfected" . . . "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. Whoever does not love Me does not keep My words." -- 1 John 2:4-5, John 14:23-24

The above is an excerpt from Jamie Walden's amazing book, which prepares remnant Christians for such a time as this.


Do you DO CHURCH or are you THE CHURCH?

     SADLY, too many of us have been taught how to Do Church rather than what's required of the true Church of Christ Jesus. Hear the God-inspired message Jamie Walden gives in this stunning, fast-paced presentation.

   Description:
The handwriting is on the wall in this nation and across the globe! It is time for the claimants of Christianity to count the costs of being "all in". If you find it to be too high, go ring the bell; but for those who know the exceedingly great reward that is set before them, the costs are as nothing!

TO VAX OR NOT TO VAX: THAT IS THE QUESTION

There’s such a flurry of information about the covid vaccines, what they contain, including being designed to alter our RNA. Imagine my surprise when rereading Dr. Michael Lake’s book, The Shinar Directive: Preparing the Way for the Son of Perdition, published in 2014, and I come across this paragraph making reference to work by Dr. Tom Horn:

        Nimrod, the original character who later was mythologized as the god Apollo prophesied by the apostle Paul in the New Testament (and by the occult elite on the Great Seal of the United States) as the ancient spirit that will return to earth to rule the novus ordo seclorum.

        The story of Nimrod in the book of Genesis may illustrate how this could happen through genetic engineering or a RETROVIRUS of demonic design that integrates with a host’s genome and rewrites the living specimen’s DNA, thus making it a “fit extension” or host for infection by the entity….” [Emphases are mine.]

I don’t know when Dr. Horn wrote the above two paragraphs, but obviously, it was before 2014. Stunning… that we now, in 2020, face a man-made virus that “requires” a vaccine that “happens to alter our RNA” to make it more “effective."

The reason God saved Noah, Noah's wife, and their sons was because they were "perfect in their generations." Deeper research explains this means they were the only humans on Earth still created in God's image--pure DNA and RNA, whereas all others had DNA mixed with ... maybe it's best if you read about it for yourself. It's in Genesis 6 as well, but only the brave dare deal with the facts presented and the implications for that time and this.

An appropriate word from the Bible would be: SELAH.



Additional since original posting:

INVISIBLE NO MORE

    Eyes, dark and unused to sunlight, squinted past filthy, tattered strips of cloth that covered his face ravaged by time and affliction. Fabric stiffened with grime scraped against the raw skin of his hands tucked inside his robes as he shuffled bare feet across dusty ground. He inched forward, desperate to keep as much of his presence unnoticed as possible, knowing, however, that he was obvious in his attempt at anonymity. And then, the one he was moving toward, both in trepidation and inexplicable hope, turned and looked at him, as people do when they feel someone watching them. 

    All these long years of staying mostly in caves, waiting for someone to place food and water where he could reach them, once the kindhearted person had left... all the years of no one looking directly at him.... And here was this man he'd heard so much about, gazing directly into his eyes. Seeing him. After all these years. Looked at, not with repulsion but with -- not pity -- but with something he couldn't yet assign a word to. It was that unfamiliar a feeling.

    He moved forward faster, unused to approaching anyone, but desperate to not miss this opportunity--the man was always on the move, always had some place he had to go next, or so the rumors went. And though it made no sense, the man seemed to be waiting for him. 

    He picked up his pace, no longer mindful of his calloused feet or gnarled hands causing others to recoil. All he could think was that he had to hurry, that time was growing short. Shorter than what, though, he couldn't fathom. After all, a man in his circumstances wore time like a weighted burden. Silently, he berated himself for not practicing what he'd say.

    One yard away from the man whose gaze had remained fixed on him, he stopped, heart beating hard against his ribs. Through cracked lips and dry tongue, he said, "If you are willing, you can make me clean."

    Had he spoken too boldly? Because some flicker of another thought altered the man's countenance. Only briefly though, and evident solely to him because of how intently he watched and waited for the man's reply. The man moved toward him. Habit born of instinct urged him to move back, to move away, as he was accustomed to doing, but he remained in place. Stayed motionless as the man reached out and lowered the coverings from his leprosy-ravaged face.

    The man wore an expression of resolve and something deeper as he said, "I am willing! Be cleansed!"

    Life instantly returned to his skin and body. He fell to his knees, grabbed the right hand of the man. Gratitude too large and too deep for words sought the only path of expression possible in that moment: tears streamed down his face and onto the man's hand as he kissed it over and over.

    "Tell no one," the man said. 

    So overcome by this immediate healing, he heard little else of what the man said. He stood in silence as he watched the man join those who always traveled with him, now thronged by others, as they walked toward the center of town. 

    Someone to his left said, "Who was that man? By what authority did he do such a thing?"

    "His name is Yeshua." He sucked in a breath. How many times in all his years had he heard that word read from the texts each Sabbath and holy day--yeshua

    Yeshua. Translated in Hebrew as Salvation.  

    


                                                        Image: www.bridgemanart.com

    The above is a story based on what I felt as I read Mark 1 this morning. Imagine that man with leprosy--the most physically unclean a human could be--saying to Jesus, "If you are willing, you can make me clean." I imagine that Jesus did pause for but a moment as the weight of that request permeated His entire reason for being here at that time. The man wanted his skin and body clean again. Jesus wanted the man's soul clean for eternity, and there was only one supernaturally legal way to do that: It was imperative He take every next step that brought Him to the Victory of the Cross. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." - John 15:13 KJV

    It wasn't nails that kept the Word of God--Salvation--on the cross: It was love.

GOD CHOOSES ALL KINGS AND LEADERS

    I realize there are those who don't want to believe that God chooses all kings and leaders for His own purposes, but it's true. And this includes appointing the leaders we deserve. Oy.

    The other morning I was reading Nehemiah 9 and came to a full stop when I read verse 37, and felt the burden of the truth of it: 


   
Sadly, that's more true today than we might have imagined.

    Here's the link to the exact text I read, which I invite you to read (this version is much easier and also more accurate than the KJV, as this version was translated by the scholar renowned for his expertise in not only the language but the culture):

https://www.biblestudytools.com/cjb/nehemiah/9.html


    At this time (Nov. 30, 2020), God is still keeping to Himself who it is He will position as our president for the next four years. No need to scream or screech: That statement is from the legal aspect, and it is a fact that this election is, legally, according to our Constitution, not as yet settled. Back to the topic at hand...

    This verse 39 brought to mind how our treatment of abortion has led to God making sure that if the right to shed the blood of the innocent is what we want (or will allow), and which He considers an abomination worthy of eternity in Hell, then He'll give us leaders to ensure it. As one Scripture says, He'll let us get spiritually drunk on the blood we're so willing to shed, as this 1:09-minute video proves: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiMuZv9k_x0 

    Two origins of abortion in our land are intriguing. First, the woman who founded Planned Parenthood did so in order to rid society of undesirables (that is, undesirable in her opinion, an opinion shared by other elites). The predominant so-said undesirables were Blacks. Only now, after all this time, has this fact caused Planned Parent to attempt to disassociate themselves from her--because of how it looks, now that more people know the truth. Second, the woman Roe v. Wade was about, never actually had an abortion.

    Let's consider some of the results of what was supposed to be a "safe and rare" procedure for limited causes.

    In a number of states, we can now kill healthy babies in the womb at any time for any reason (though, we've been doing this by the millions each year for decades). We can vacuum them out of existence, dismember them, scald them for hours or days while their tender skin cracks and blackens--and that's only the external effects.... We're very creative in how abortion gets done. [No apologies for using the word "kill." Deliberately ending a life is killing. Ending an innocent life is murder.] To continue...

    We now have female Satanists, who get pregnant easily, admitting they do so often and willingly. They and whomever then perform satanic rites as they kill the baby in the womb (or outside of it), because Satan prefers the fresh blood of the innocent (I didn't make this up; there are articles about this on the Internet, at least for now).

    We have people saying a "fetus" isn't a baby until the mother or parents bring it home and say it is. I heard one man in a video say he firmly believes people should have up to two years, after bringing the baby home, to decide whether to abort the child or not. He's in favor of taking offspring home "on approval." If the child doesn't measure up for some reason.... He didn't clarify, nor did the interviewer ask, what that method of "abortion" would entail. 

    Some abortionists now prefer to wait until the fourth month or later to then dilate the uterus (dangerous for the woman) so the live baby is aborted intact ... because they need to be able to remove the still-beating heart for whomever it is who's in the market for these hearts as well as the other organs and body parts. Four months or older are preferable organ sizes. And, as reported, some don't use anesthetics on the baby before removing the tiny, beating heart. Take a half a second to let that sink in.

    We have some who are adamant that should a baby survive an abortion, and can still live if given needed medical treatment, nothing should be done for it other than make it comfortable until it dies. Obviously, these are the babies whose body parts haven't been claimed or paid for or aren't to be involved in satanic rituals.

    Some abortionists have been known to save the remains in jars on shelves, or in their walls (as the Pagans saved their ritually aborted babies in the walls of Jericho).

    Then there are the other "advantages" of abortions provided at any time for any reason: Aborted fetal cells in foods, beverages, and vaccines; victims of sex-trafficking and incest get "taken care of" while their perpetrators aren't reported or arrested so can continue doing what they do. There's more, of course, but that's enough for now. 

The information is out there about each of the above, despite naysayers.

    We wanted to call abortion a woman's right to have for any reason and at any time, including full-term. We even called it health care, even when neither the mother's health or the baby's is in jeopardy. So God is giving us leaders who make sure we get what we asked for or have allowed by commission or omission.

    Here's my admission: Until Jesus called me to repent and receive Him as Savior and Lord, I never gave abortion much thought. I have friends who've had them--I didn't condemn them then and still don't (that's not my right as a follower of Jesus, though He's charged His followers to call sin a sin). 

    Deception perpetrated by the Adversary has caused all of us to stumble or fall at least once, if we're willing to be honest. At one point, I was all in on the New Age deception that eternal souls were incarnating and changing their minds or knew they'd be aborted and that's all of physical life they wanted. Whatever the deception, no longer can I look at a precious newborn or infant (or photo of one) without, first, a "reality reel" running at high speed in my mind. 

    Is what's written here offensive to you? More offensive than what is being done to healthy babies in the womb, and even once outside the womb? For any who don't agree with God's commandments about this, Isaiah 44:18 comes to mind:

  


    We did this to ourselves. God forgive us. And, if you want God's forgiveness, HE'S ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU. [See the ABC's of Salvation under this next image.]

Psalm 8:3-4 CJB says

(3) When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and stars that you set in place —
(4) what are mere mortals, that you concern yourself with them;
humans, that you watch over them with such care?

YIELD YOUR HEART TO THE LORD

As we have wrestled out, the Lord is good to draw those He loves into the wilderness places; to "Gethsemane". It is the place where we begin to quiet our over-inflated sense of self and yield our hearts to the Lord. It is a place of preparation, of repentance, and of dying to the things that will hinder our ability to demonstrate the power of God.

- Jamie Walden, Omega Dynamics: Equipping a Warrior Class of Christians for the Days Ahead



GOD NOT ONLY LOVES YOU, HE LIKES YOU!

Exalted as they are, however, the highest ranking angel hovering over the throne of the Most High is outranked--wonder of wonders--by the most insignificant human being who has been born again, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.

CALLING FORTH THE ARMY OF YESHUA/JESUS, COMMANDER OF GOD'S ARMY: THIS ELECTION ISN'T OVER


These are Daniel days, specifically Chapter 10 in the book of Daniel. 

Saturday, November 7, 2020, after I recovered (somewhat) from learning that a news organization had (erroneously) called the presidential election in order to set that Ghost Train in motion, I felt urged to consider Daniel. Remember: He, as had others, had been captured and forced to live and serve the king of a God-less kingdom. Despite all that was going on in that Pagan realm, Daniel and his three companions stayed true to their obedience to God's words, commandments, laws, and statutes.... even to the point of being thrown into the lions' den and into a roaring fire -- only to survive without a scratch and without so much as their garments smelling of smoke. 

Point 1: No matter what transpires from this moment on, we must be faithful representatives of Almighty God in everything we do and say. Reread all of the book of Daniel and ask our Father to put that kind of trust in Him and loving obedience to Him and His righteous Kingdom ways into our hearts, minds, and mouths (and social site comments and memes).

The other thing about Daniel 10 is this: He'd realized that the end to the 70-year captivity was about to happen. He wanted to make sure this happened without a hitch (as opposed to the software "glitch" we're dealing with at this time), so he set about interceding with God about this. He waited upon the Lord for an answer... waited 21 days, mostly fasting and praying on his face in total submission to God, until an angel of the Lord came to him to let him know his prayers had been answered the first time he'd uttered them, but that a spiritual battle had prevented the angel from reaching him to let him know. 



Point 2: We are to be as faithful as Daniel in this matter...because you can bet there is a huge spiritual battle happening right this moment in the second heaven. Why?

BECAUSE WE ARE THE ARMY OF GOD

AND WE ARE ENGAGED, 

FULFILLING, 

AND RAMPING UP OUR ROLES AS INTERCESSORS 

WHO TRUST IN ALMIGHTY GOD AND THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT.... 

BECAUSE AS HIS ARMY, WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT.



And then there's this (FYI: This is a Messianic Bible, so don't panic):

 

“Comfort and keep comforting my people,” says your God.

“Tell Yerushalayim to take heart; proclaim to her
that she has completed her time of service,
that her guilt has been paid off,
that she has received at the hand of Adonai
double for all her sins.”

A voice cries out:

“Clear a road through the desert for Adonai!
Level a highway in the ‘Aravah for our God!
Let every valley be filled in,
every mountain and hill lowered,
the bumpy places made level
and the crags become a plain.
Then the glory of Adonai will be revealed;
all humankind together will see it,
for the mouth of Adonai has spoken.”

A voice says, “Proclaim!”
And I answer, “What should I proclaim?”
“All humanity is merely grass,
all its kindness like wildflowers:
the grass dries up, the flower fades,
when a wind from Adonai blows on it.
Surely the people are grass!
The grass dries up, the flower fades;
but the word of our God will stand forever.”

You who bring good news to Tziyon,
get yourself up on a high mountain;
you who bring good news to Yerushalayim,
cry out at the top of your voice!
Don’t be afraid to shout out loud!
Say to the cities of Y’hudah,
“Here is your God!
10 Here comes Adonai Elohim with power,
and his arm will rule for him.
Look! His reward is with him,
and his recompense is before him.
11 He is like a shepherd feeding his flock,
gathering his lambs with his arm,
carrying them against his chest,
gently leading the mother sheep.”

12 Who has counted the handfuls of water in the sea,
measured off the sky with a ruler,
gauged how much dust there is on the earth,
weighed the mountains on scales, or the hills in a balance?
13 Who has measured the Spirit of Adonai?
Who has been his counselor, instructing him?
14 Whom did he consult, to gain understanding?
Who taught him how to judge,
taught him what he needed to know,
showed him how to discern?

15 The nations are like a drop in a bucket,
they count like a grain of dust on the scales.
The islands weigh as little as specks of dust.
16 The L’vanon would not suffice for fuel
or its animals be enough for burnt offerings.
17 Before him all the nations are like nothing.
He regards them as less than nothing.

18 With whom, then, will you compare God?
By what standard will you evaluate him?
19 An image made by a craftsman,
which a goldsmith overlays with gold,
for which he then casts silver chains?
20 A man too poor to afford an offering
chooses a piece of wood that won’t rot,
then seeks out a skilled artisan
to prepare an image that won’t fall over.

21 Don’t you know? Don’t you hear?
Haven’t you been told from the start?
Don’t you understand how the earth is set up?
22 He who sits above the circle of the earth —
for whom its inhabitants appear like grasshoppers
stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
spreads them out like a tent to live in.
23 He reduces princes to nothing,
the rulers of the earth to emptiness.
24 Scarcely are they planted, scarcely sown,
scarcely their stem taken root in the ground,
when he blows on them, they dry up,
and the whirlwind carries them off like straw.
25 “With whom, then, will you compare me?
With whom am I equal?” asks the Holy One.

26 Turn your eyes to the heavens!
See who created these?
He brings out the army of them in sequence,
summoning each by name.
Through his great might and his massive strength,
not one of them is missing.

27 Why do you complain, Ya‘akov;
why do you say, Isra’el,
“My way is hidden from Adonai,
my rights are ignored by my God”?
28 Haven’t you known, haven’t you heard
that the everlasting God, Adonai,
the Creator of the ends of the earth,
does not grow tired or weary?
His understanding cannot be fathomed.
29 He invigorates the exhausted,
he gives strength to the powerless.
30 Young men may grow tired and weary,
even the fittest may stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in Adonai will renew their strength,

they will soar aloft as with eagles’ wings;
when they are running they won’t grow weary,
when they are walking they won’t get tired.
