Yom R’vi’i, Kislev 8, 6004 – November 6, 2019
Focus As A Weapon
As believers we need to find our way back to the point of our calling, from time to time. It is easy to be distracted in this world by all that transpires. But we can find our way to the calling on our life – and we are all called to something – by remembering to focus. In fact, the enemy often uses distractions to get us to focus elsewhere; anywhere but our purpose and calling.
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
We see that Peter was aware that the enemy uses distraction to get us off our “game” by paying attention to his roar. On the other hand, Peter also says we need to resist him in faith, knowing that others have successfully done the same.
1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Peter had just given us a clue as to how to escape distraction. If we humble ourselves before YAH, He will raise us up. We will get past the roar and bravado of the insignificant one. We will once again win the battle.
2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
If we will just cry out to our Father, in praying and singing to His name, we will re-establish our focus, and usher in our victory.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. You alone are our King, and we praise Your name, YAH, we praise Your name! For You alone are King. And let Your kingdom come in us, in our hearts and minds and bodies. Let Your will be done here in this earth just as it is in heaven, so perfectly. Send us now our provision of clothing, food, shelter, love, substance, and prosperity. 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 here, and from the hands of evil men. Lead us away from temptations. It is Your kingdom and Your power and Your glory that we seek to publish in this earth. So let it be, show this in me. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way, especially the substance and prosperity and wisdom that You once gave, and the more besides. We ask all these things of You Father King. O mighty King, rise up and deliver, rise up and deliver, raising Your people from the dust and setting them on high at the gates. We ask all these things of You, Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and AMen. Amen.
