Yom R’vi’i, Elul 3, 6003 – August 15, 2018

Resisting The Pressure

Because we are in a spiritual battle, there will be significant pressure for us to give in, to give up. We must resist. How do we do that effectively? First, we must realize where that is coming from initially. Is not God.

James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

So then, the temptation must be from the evil one, trying to work in us and through us – the devil. Our response…

James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

By our submission to God, we resist the devil. The Greek term means to arrange under a leader, from a military perspective. With our leader, God, out front, the devil has no means of getting to us.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds of mankind. Let Your will be done here perfectly, as it is in heaven. Send us Your overwhelming provision. Deliver us from the evil here. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil, and heal our hearts and minds in these matters, wiping away all thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You and Your love for us. Deliver us now, Father. Restore Your people unto You. And restore unto Your people one thousandfold of all that is good that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom here in the hearts, minds, and bodies of people. We ask all these things of you Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiak. Amen.
