It takes a team to build a dream. There’s no I in team!
PRAYER - "Pray During A Holocaust"
The seventy-ninth Psalm is perhaps one of the most desperate prayers in the Bible. It mourns devastating losses in Jerusalem by the hands of heathen enemies. Even during a holocaust, prayer is more necessary than ever.
Psalms 79:1-3, 9 - "O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps. The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven. ...Help us, O God of our salvation, ...deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake."
PRINCIPALS - "A Law And A Statue To Worship God In Music"
God grieves when His people fail to praise and worship Him, but He delights to hear their praises. Throughout the ages, His prophets have urged His people to sing loudly, make a joyful noise, play musical instruments, and declare His goodness. Why? For His mighty works in our behalf from ancient days!
Psalms 81:1-4 - "Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. ...bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery. Blow up the trumpet, ...For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob."
PRINCIPLES - "God Is Our Source Of Justice And True Judgment"
Asaph said, "I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men." Asaph was correcting himself. We are no gods. At best, we are children of the Lord if we are born again of His spirit. Only God can judge righteously among men. He exhorts us to judge justly among the poor, the fatherless, the afflicted and needy. But only as we appropriate the wisdom of God may we walk in righteous judgment.
Psalms 82:8 - "Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations."
PROPHECIES - "Messiah Will Save God's Vineyard"
Asaph prayed while mourning God's fierce dealings with backsliding Israel. He reminded God how He "brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it. ...and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land." "O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine; And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted." Then he prayed for Messiah to save His vineyard.
Psalms 80:17 - "Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself."
• God is the source of your supply, and you can depend on him to know exactly what you need and give it to you.
• Obedience in your giving, while planting seeds so God can bless your efforts, and maintaining a great attitude, are the keys to the sustainability of your release this season.
• Elisha shows us that to step forward to follow our destiny, you have to step away from your security.
• God is the source of your supply, and you can depend on him to know exactly what you need and give it to you.
• In prayer, there are no rich or poor, male or female, religiously accomplished or degenerate.
• Prayer is the outflow of a heart set on knowing God. It’s the byproduct of a loving relationship with him.
• In prayer to many of us rush in where angels fear to tread.
• As we approach this God, we do so in faith that when we humble ourselves under his mighty hand, he will find the perfect time to exalt us.
• We cannot pray without the moment by moment acknowledgment that we can’t take another step without God’s sustaining grace.
• In your regular prayer time, spend at least 30 seconds—before you say a word to God—picturing the God you are about to speak with.
• Ones insecurity might be the ultimate insult to God.
• God is not going to bring you to it and not see you through it!
• You are what you speak to your head to your feet!
