Yom Re-vi-i, Shevat 5, 6001 – January 4, 2017

Battle Within

For many believers, there is a common, yet separate, spiritual battle. That is the battle within the heart and mind. It takes many shapes from time to time. It can be self-esteem, self-worth, struggles with the past, etc, but in general it is the battle for the mind. It occurred to me this morning that there must be a reason. Perhaps that reason has something to do with what we might accomplish for our Father if we were to use our mind and our mouth to achieve more for His kingdom.

Deuteronomy 30:9 And the Lord thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the Lord will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:
10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

As a scientist, I am going to try an experiment to get back more complete control of my mind and my mouth using scriptures and other verbal statements to promote the kingdom. I will report back here at some future date the progress.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! Praise the name Yahuah! Please overshadow our frailties and shine Your light in this earth. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our transgressions of the Law, for they are sin. Cleanse our hearts and minds. Heal us inside and outside. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundred times one hundred times one hundredfold all that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people. Rise up, my King, and in Your mercy, heal and deliver us. WE ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
