Yom R’vi’i, Tammuz 15, 6004 – June 19, 2019
Head Down, Pressing Forward!
Sometimes I think of life as a cartoon image. A warrior crouches behind a shield as arrows and flames blow around the edges unable to harm the warrior – this is the image I “see” of life’s battles. And it is not terribly dissimilar from the images painted by scripture.
Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
And so, we press forward, head down behind the shield.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people one thousand fold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides, the more besides. We ask all these things of You father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
