Yom Sheni, Tammuz 10, 6003 – June 25, 2018
The Only Hope
We must find ways to walk out our lives with God that truly exalt Him as King. In prayer this morning I found myself wanting to be aligned with Him. What occurred for me was the knowing that He is there and up to His plan. I reread what I wrote yesterday, and it became even more clear that everything we do, if it is to be truly lasting, requires us to be focused on Him as our source for everything we do. We must “hope” in Him.
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Here we see that faith, hope, and the word of God are all tied together. The word “hope” comes from the Greek word elpis which means eager expectation. The word “word” comes from the Greek word rhema which means utterance. So our faith requires eager expectation (not desperate wishes) and speaking what does not exist into existence.
Think about that for just a minute.
We are literally saying that we need to be so convinced of what our Father has said and is doing that we are waiting with gleeful anticipation of its arrival, like a little kid waiting for the presents once they blow out the candles on the cake. With that in our hearts and minds, we say it, and it comes to pass. This is what Yahuah (Lord) did when He created heaven and earth. We are made in His image and likeness, so we do the same things the same way.
Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.moveth: Heb. creepeth
If we will take the time with our Father, as our Messiah did when He went off to pray, then we too can experience what He experienced, and fulfill the call on our lives.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in this earth, Father. Let Your will be done here as it is in Heaven, perfectly. Send us now 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. Wipe 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. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God, Your kingdom, in the hearts and minds of mankind. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah, YAH Yeshuah (Lord Jesus). Amen.
