Greetings my brothers and sisters in Yeshua our Messiah: We are living in perilous times, and many are seeking for answers. Our Heavenly Father is searching for those who will surrender all to the Lordship of His Son and perform His Perfect Will. The time is now for all believers to seek God’s Face and take their place in the service of the Lord. For too long we have allowed denominational doctrines to divide the body of Christ. It is time to turn our hearts back to the Lord God Almighty and His Word and to become doers, and not hearers only.
Use His Word for His Purposes
It grieves the heart of God when we use His Word to our advantage. God has not given us His Word to build kingdoms unto ourselves or to compare ourselves against fellow believers. Philippians 2:12-13 states: “…work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God that worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.” The purpose of His Word is to pierce our hearts, bringing us to repentance from our ways, which are sinful, and turn back to Him (Hebrews 4:12-13).
Allow the Word to Mold Us
The power of God’s sanctification does not peak with our conversion experience; It begins there, and continues to hammer away at our attitudes and mind sets, convicting us of our sins and guiding us toward His righteous maturity: “Is not My Word like fire? says the LORD, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?” Jeremiah 23:29. Having an intellectual understanding of God’s Ways is not enough: we must have changed hearts in order to live out what we have heard. Before we can reach out to an unbelieving world, we must humble ourselves under the Hand of God and allow Him to mold us into vessels He can use.
Be Fervent in Prayer
There is a harvest to reap; souls to be delivered and infirmities to heal Believers, pray for God’s power to be released bringing His restoration and deliverance to your life, your family, your congregation and your city. Pray for the leadership of your city and national governments.
Pray for your pastors and those in church leadership. Do not criticize and find fault with them. Gird them up with prayer. Pray for an anointing to break spiritual yokes within your congregation.
Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem! Pray that God’s Will be done in regard to Israel and the Middle East. Let the Body of Jesus Christ our Messiah arise and turn the world upside down, just as the early Messianic believers witnessed, exalting the Lordship of our soon-in-coming King!
My heart’s desire is to see every believer experience the fullness of God’s Power in their daily walk with the Lord. May our hearts yearn for Him, our lives reverence Him, our mouths worship Him and our hands serve for Him.
His Bondservant,
