When The Herald Calls

In our world God has appointed people to speak out. Perhaps He has appointed everyone to speak out, but I do not know that. I do know that some are called to herald to the rest of creation the coming of certain activities in the earth. Before we think that these people are somehow special or other than human, we should look at what scriptures say about these people.

James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

Many have said that the position of prophet is somehow special in that the person in that position must be “super spiritual” or something. Scriptures tend to say otherwise. We see here in James that Elijah was human like all of us – a “man of like passions” – and yet miracles happened when he prayed. He had struggles in this life with his carnal or physical self. He faced these challenges like the rest of us, and wrestled with them. But he did not stop praying. He did not listen to any voices that told him he was worthless and that he might as well stop praying. Why? He believed in Yahuah (Lord) and that his God Yahuah (Lord) was the King over all.

Today, as we face challenges, let us not forget who we serve, Yahuah (Lord). He is the One True King over all.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. We praise and bless the name Yahuah. Let this earth receive Your kingdom now. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. We need You. We need Your healing touch. We need Your deliverance from all that is around us that is evil that would steal from us what You alone have provided. We ask this now in the name of Messiah Yeshua (Jesus). Amen.
