We Are Covered
Our Father in heaven has sent His Son Yeshua (Jesus) to die for us that we might be covered. The children of Israel had the covering of the blood on the doorposts and lintel to keep them from the death of the firstborn, and ultimately to set them free from bondage. We have the blood of our Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) to cover us from the sin that results in death, and also to set us free from bondage. Just like the children of Israel, Yahuah (Lord) our God wants to set us free from the bondage of oppression. For many of us today that includes things like debt or some form of oppression from outsiders.Whatever our situation, Yeshua (Jesus) died that we might be free. His name, Yeshua (Jesus) means “Yahuah is Salvation” or instead of salvation we could say “wholeness”. This salvation in Hebrew includes material goods and prosperity, deliverance, victory, and wholeness. It is a very big and very complete change, which we sometimes miss when we use our word salvation. Isaiah spoke of this.
Isaiah 12:2 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.
Isaiah here has spoken both literally and prophetically, if we read the Hebrew here. Let me substitute some of those words and we shall see how.
Isaiah 12:2 Behold, El is my Yashua; I will trust, and not be afraid: for Ya Yahuah is my physical strength and my song of praise; he also is become my Yashua.
When we read this in the Hebrew, it is so much more powerful! Our Lord (Ya) Jehovah (Yahuah) is our physical strength and our song of praise. Our God (El) has become our Yashua!
Today, we can be thankful that Yahuah (Lord) never gives up on us and always delivers His people. Praise the name Yahuah!
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King and our slavation! We praise and thank the name Yahuah. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Let Your wholeness rain down and reign in our lives today. Heal us. Deliver us from the bondage in our lives. Deliver us from debt and lack and oppression. We thank You Yahuah for You have become our Yashua! In Yashua’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.
