Yom Shishi, Kislev 8, 6003 – November 16, 2018
Learning To Speak
It may seem odd to write about learning to speak as most people that can read likely can speak. But this is not about the basic speech that one might learn in the first born years. This is about learning what and how to say things. There is great power in words. All of what we see and all that we do not see was created by the speaking of God originally. And our Messiah also instructed us in speaking.
Mark 11:21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
There are two interesting parts to this story here. Most commonly we think of the message from Yeshuah (Jesus) about the importance of the words. Additionally, there is a story here about how little Peter and the others thoughts about the power of words. This is evidenced in the fact that they were surprised that His words had power.
We are also counseled further by the Messiah with regard to our words. That is that they must come from a God like heart – one turned to God in forgiveness to others and seeking forgiveness. We must seek to be like YAH, who loves in spite of the evil spoken against Him.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people. Let Your will be done here as it is so perfectly in heaven. Send us Your provision such that we can overflow to others. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away all thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You and Your love for us. Restore Your people as it was in the Garden. Restore all that the worm has eaten. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back in any way of that which is good, and the more besides. We ask all these things in the name of You, Father, in the name yAH Yeshuah HaMashiak. Amen.
