PRAYER - "Pray with the Spirit"
Paul prayed in unknown tongues, and gladly admitted it. He taught that we should pray as best we can understand in our native tongue. But he also acknowledged that sometimes our prayer needs exceed our understanding. That is when we should enter into the Spirit and pray as God gives the utterance. The Spirit makes intercession in ways we cannot know how to do, even though we earnestly groan or cry.
1 Corinthians 14:15 - "What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also."
PRINCIPALS - "Asshur"
Asshur was a person, a city (later called Nineveh), and the ancient Assyrian empire. Its founders came from Babel and Nimrod, who grievously turned their backs on the God of their forefather, Noah. They worshipped the goddess Ishtar. Assyria eventually became a vicious foe of Israel for centuries. Mosul, Iraq, is now the center of that region, sandwiched between Damascus, Syria and Tehran, Iran. These modern Assyrians are prophetically doomed. In Isaiah 14:25, God swore to destroy the Assyrian on His holy mount at Armageddon.
Genesis 10:11 - "Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh."
PRINCIPLES - "The Power of One"
Jochebed was only one person, but salvation for all humanity hung by a thread on her actions. If she had not saved baby Moses, the world would never have heard of Abraham, Isaac or Jacob. The power of one is inestimable. We are indebted to many "ones". Don't YOU fail!
Exodus 2:3 - "...when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink."
PROPHECIES - "The Fall of Babel"
Nimrod spearheaded the project at the tower of Babel. Their purposes were ambitious: reach heaven, make a name for themselves, prevent being scattered abroad. Sounds like the devil's dream, too. But all the purposes of men will be disappointed. All man-made kingdoms will fall to the Kingdom of Jesus Christ at Armageddon.
Genesis 11:4 - "And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth."
Take Some New Ground
Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
– Matthew 18:19
As believers, you and I are part of a conquering army, constantly claiming new ground for the kingdom of God. Right?
Well, yes, that’s the way it should be. But just about the time the army tops the hill and is ready to advance, it seems that Satan pulls out his big gun—division—and scatters believers in every direction.
How can we strike back against the strategy of division? By launching an even more powerful attack of our own. By using one of the most powerful resources given us by the Lord Jesus: the prayer of agreement.
Jesus said that if any two of us would agree as touching anything we ask, it shall be done! That statement is so powerful that most people don’t really believe it. If they did, you’d find little groups of Christians huddled up in every corner agreeing together in prayer.
Find someone to agree with in prayer this week. Be sure to base what you pray on the Word of God. You may have differing opinions about everything else, but you can be in agreement about the Word.
Also, be sure your agreement is total—spirit, soul and body. Cast down arguments, theories and imaginations that are contrary to the Word. Take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Keep a watch over your thoughts and your words.
Then get your body in line by speaking the thing you’ve agreed on. Act like you’ve already received the answer. Don’t keep asking but thank God for it. Stay in agreement and take some new ground for the Lord!
We as individuals are where we are because God allowed us to be there. It is a blessing God has given to all who are able to read these OMBS they feed both mind and spirit. Thank you for taking the time to share this wisdom.
