Yom Re-vi-i, Alul 20, 6002 – September 13, 2017
Marching Orders
If we are to be a part of “spiritual warfare” as believers, we have to receive and act on our marching orders. We can receive those orders in writing or in non-written format. In writing we have the scriptures.
2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
There are several non-written formats as well. These come usually as the result of prayer.
James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Our Father can speak to us directly. He can also use anything else – man, animal, etc – to reach out to us.
Numbers 22:26 And the angel of the Lord went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
27 And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam’s anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.
28 And the Lord opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?
29 And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.
30 And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.
31 Then the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.
So, if we are open, we can get our marching orders.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise and bless the name YAH! Let Your will be done in the earth as it is in heaven. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away all thoughts and memories of evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be thoughts and memories of only You. Heal us up in our hearts, minds, and bodies. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore one hundredfold all the good 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). We ask all these things in Your name, Father, in the name YAH. Amen.
