Fighting Through To What We See
One of the most powerful tools to do spiritual warfare that has been give to us is the ability to believe. Our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus) said this when He spoke of the fig tree.
Mark 11:19 And when even was come, he went out of the city.
20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
Here we see Yeshuah (Jesus) telling us what we believe in our heart and say with our mouth will come to pass. Over the years I have heard many people say many things. But when I look to myself, I have to be honest with myself about what I truly believe. What dis He mean, really? Our heart talks to us all the time. We know that God wrote the Law on our hearts because that is the new covenant.
Jeremiah 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
If we speak the Law, it will come to pass, because it is in our hearts, if we believe in the truth of the Law. Was Yahuah (Lord) serious when He made His commandments, or not? If He was, then the Law is real. And all of the blessings that Moses spoke over us come from the Law. Moses did not have the benefit of the Law written in His heart like we do. However, He did know the Law and for the most part his actions indicate that He believed God meant it. He believed that the Law, when acted upon, would bring forth blessing. This is also one reason why Yeshuah (Jesus) said he did not come to do away with the Law but to fulfill the Law.
Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Like all of us are called to fulfill the Law, Yeshuah (Jesus) was also called to fulfill the Law. He was also called to fulfill the prophecies about Him that the Prophets had foretold. Yeshuah (Jesus) did not mean that His fulfilling the Law eliminated the Law. Why would He say that the Law would not pass away until heaven and earth pass away? It is because heaven and earth passing away are prophesied. The “till all be fulfilled” is prophesy being fulfilled. The Law will be with us until all prophesy is fulfilled.
We can use the knowing of the Law being written in our hearts as a source of truth and power. With that knowing, we can speak those things that are the blessings and the curses related to the commandments and know that they will come to pass. This is how Yeshuah (Jesus) overcame the enemy in the desert, and how we can overcome him and his work in our lives.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King and the Declarer of Truth. We praise the name Yahuah! Send Your kingdom to us. Give us today Your overwhelming blessing of provision such that we cannot contain it all. We need Your forgiveness for our sins – please forgive us. Heal us up inside. Help us to speak the truth of Your Law that is written in our hearts. Help us and deliver us from the evil that would steal from us what You alone have provided. Cause a return of provisions that have been stolen from us 100 fold. Let us be a source of truth and light in the coming days of darkened hearts and minds. Let us be a source of supply because of the blessing that You pour to us we can pour to others. Let there be a revival in the land of the knowing that Yahuah (Lord) is on the side of His people, that all men might turn to You. We ask these things in the name of Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
