Sha-bat, Sivan 21, 6002 – June 17, 2017

Voices Or Thunder?

On the Sabbath, it is a time of rest. It is also a time for us to minister one to another. How is it that we can do that? There are many ways, actually. There was a time when Yeshuah (Jesus) wanted to minister, that He called our to the Father to glorify Himself.

John 12:28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.

We are also given direction on ministering to others. In the letter to the Ephesians, Paul instructed us to pray for others.

Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Here we see that we are to deliberately make utterance (rhema) which is the sword of the Spirit. We are given further instruction that in this case, that utterance is to be prayer in the Spirit (sounds we do not understand) for all of the believers. Paul talked of this type of prayer to the Corinthians.

1 Corinthians 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.

Let us therefore on the Sabbath, and everyday, pray in the Spirit for all believers.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Your will in heaven, let it be here with us. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us to forgive all those that have trespassed and transgressed against us. Cleanse completely our hearts and minds. Heal us from the inside out. Restore right relationships among us. Restore the years that have been eaten, and the substance, and all this one hundredfold, that all men might know that You alone are Yahuah our Elohim. We ask all these things in the name of the Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
