Yom Shishi, Adar 3, 6004 – February 28, 2020

Getting After It

Do we believe when we pray? Likely we would all say yes as an immediate response. But this morning I think about the underlying thoughts we may have about life and reality. In general I believe we may have what I would refer to as “carry overs” from our past, and support of those same thoughts and ideas from our daily lives. There is a principle taught in the scriptures.

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.

We can see here that believing when we pray, what we would call faith, requires us to not “waver”. The underlying thoughts that we bring to the situation, if they are not the same as our prayer, and we give them credibility by thinking them, are a form of wavering. We must guard our thoughts, which are often tied to our heart’s convictions.

Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

With all this in mind, let’s be getting after it today!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Keep us from the temptations here. Deliver us from the evil. Deliver me from the evil plans that men have for me, and confound their plans. Let their documents be destroyed. Raise up an army that will believe in You. Send in today the $35,000, Father. Send in the one thousandfold. Heal completely Akhil and Siddu. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
