Yom Re-vi-i, Adar 10, 6001 – February 8, 2017
See, Say, Sow
Last night I heard a speaker talk about how we move forward in the kingdom of God to promote the kingdom. Said another way, it was how we can conduct our spiritual warfare. He referenced the story of Abraham and how God made a promise to Him.
Genesis 15:4 And, behold, the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
6 And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
Yahuah (Lord) gave Abram (his name at the time) a visual, something to see. It was like a vision that our Father gives to us. He could see the vastness of the number of the stars. Then God after a time visited Abram and gave him a new name.
Genesis 17:1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
The name Abraham means “the father of many nations” and from that time on whenever anyone, including him, said his name, they were saying the father of many nations to him. Finally, Abraham was with Sarah and conceived a son, Issac.
Genesis 21:1 And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
These same principles appear throughout the Bible, New and Old Testament alike. We see that if we spend time with our Father, He will give us a vision for the thing, then we must speak what the vision is, and then we must act on that vision. This is how we can do our spiritual warfare, by acting in concert with our Father to do His will and His work.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your light shine in this earth. Let Your will be done here. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our transgressions, and blot them out, just as we forgive those that have transgressed against us and keep no record of wrongs. Heal the hearts and minds of Your people. Deliver us from the darkness that is against us. Restore unto Your people one hundredfold all that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
