Daily In Prayer
This morning as I pondered how we are to serve our Messiah, I pondered a few scriptures the Father recently gave me in answer to a prayer about what to do in life.
Deuteronomy 6:8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
This scripture speaks of keeping Yahuah’s (Lord’s) commands in our thoughts and actions. It is His commands that are a lamp to see where we are going and keep us moving in the right paths.
Matthew 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus) sent His disciples to the lost sheep of the house of Israel first. Our first ministry is to each others as believers, I think, to help each other stay on right paths.
Hebrews 5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
Our Messiah cried out in tears and reverence to the Father for deliverance from the attack in the garden. Even though He had the power to deliver Himself, He called out to the Father in strong prayer.
Hebrews 9:6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.
Here Paul tells us that the priests other than the high priest went to do their service daily, just as we are to be in our temples daily.
From these scriptures it appears to me that we have a ministry. A portion of that ministry is to be in our bodies, our temples, and daily pray with intensity. We are to pray for ourselves and others the scriptures, praying God’s commands and promises over our fellow believers. We are to minister daily to the body of believers. We are to serve the living God in this way, building up our fellow believers and ourselves daily. This is a portion of our reasonable service.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are the One True King. We need Your kingdom, Father. Praise the name Yahuah! Send us today Your overwhelming blessing of provision such that we cannot store it, and it overflows to those around us. We seek your forgiveness for our sins. We seek cleansing of our hearts and minds. We ask that You heal up our hearts and minds. We ask that You deliver us from those that have stolen and are stealing from us, the evil that is in this world, the thief. Restore unto us tenfold, even one hundredfold what has been taken. Do not leave Your people broken, sick, and in poverty. Come quickly with a strong hand and an outstretched arm to deliver Your people, to deliver us, today. We ask all these things in the name of Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
