Leading the Way

We believers, we are an imperfect army of followers of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). He is our Leader, and none beside Him. And yet, in this earth, we are called to lead ourselves, our families, and at times, other believers. It is easy to confuse this with what mankind has established as structure and organization. The point here is, our Father sets up the leadership He wants to see in this earth, and He makes that leadership work. If we believe we do anything of our own power, we err. Without our Father we can do nothing.

Philippians 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

We are empowered by our Father. It is He that helps us back to the path when we stray. It is He that gave us life, and continues to so do. Even our Messiah said this, as an example to us.

John 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

We have opportunity to do good. When we follow His leading, we will do good. When we follow the leading of our flesh, likely not so much. The goal of life is to never give up the battle within us to intend and then do that which the Father has commanded, trusting in Him to make up the difference when we fail.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are King! You alone rule from the heavens. Praise the name Yahuah. Your rule and reign is not limited. Use us to bring Your kingdom to the earth. You alone can do this. You alone can purify our hearts and minds. You alone can show us the path to walk. Send us today Your overwhelming abundant provision such that we do not have room to contain it. Forgive us our sins. Heal up our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the one that steals and destroys. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold that which has been taken or held back. rise up King! Rise up and strike the evil that restrains the prosperity of Your people. Show Your truth to us, and show us a sign for good that all men might know that you alone have done this, that You alone are God. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
