Strategic Focus for Friday
Wisdom and Understanding (Part 2)
Your mind will be clear, free from fear; when you lie down to rest, you will be refreshed by sweet sleep.
Part of the wisdom and understanding necessary for intercessors is learning to pray from a place of rest…
(“resting warfare”). The Battle of the Bride is engaged, and we who are on the front lines in this WARFARE OF LOVE must give ourselves time to “soak” in the Spirit…to have intentional times of refreshing and rest in God’s PRESENCE…to receive His WISE COUNSEL! It is there that we gain His strength to complete our assignments and not be worn down…or “taken out”.
Have we taken that time to rest in His PRESENCE…to let Him refresh us, empower us, love us? Why not start tonight? If possible, join in the International SHABBAT Celebration each Friday from 7-10 PM ET on the 24/7 NSPC. It’s an OASIS for us all! Come, join us and be refreshed, inspired, renewed and ready to go again!
Once we are refreshed and rested, then we are refueled and can enter into that “resting warfare”, a high level of warfare in the WARFARE OF LOVE! In resting warfare, we are totally dependent, focused on and trusting our Father, knowing He has all things under His control. Nothing can happen that He does not permit, for ultimate good. No matter what we move through, it is well with our sous! ALLELUIA!
For with wise guidance, you can wage a successful war,
and with a council of many advisors, you will be victorious!
Proverbs 24:6
Leviticus 6 tells us that “the fire on the altar must not go out; it must be kept continuously burning!” So how do we remain refueled? How is that fire to be sustained? First, by staying in a place of worship and then recognizing that the “fire” was originally from God. He started it, and we, like the priests, must keep it going by adding wood continuously as they made sacrifices!
The fire on the altar must burn continually; it must not be allowed to go out.
Leviticus 6:13
What is the “wood” that fuels the fire for the “sacrifices” we are making on the altar before Him? Giving ourselves…our time, talent, treasures? Offering Praise? Expressing thanksgiving? Worship? In what other ways are we keeping His Holy Fire continuously burning on the altars of our hearts?
We are in a “time of uncovering”, where God is bringing out into the LIGHT that which has sought to undermine and destroy the very foundations of our nation. It is a time in which a great deal of corruption is surfacing…and as intercessors who have been CALLED TO THE WALL, we need to be wise and to understand how to address and pray into these situations, as they are revealed.
Flowing in the COUNSEL of the Lord…God’s COUNSEL…”Wise Counsel”…that only the Spirit can give to us, we crying out day and night to the Lord, and we pray:
· for the United States of America, our President, his Administration and all who are charged with the sacred responsibility of the security and protection of this nation.
· for Israel, our older brother in the faith, and its leaders and people. Peace be unto thee, Jerusalem!
· for wisdom, understanding and Godly counsel for Pastor Ioan and those making the preparations for the October gathering during which we will Welcome the King of Glory into Jerusalem
· for ourselves… to be fitting AMBASSADORS for the KING and HIS KINGDOM. We only speak what we hear our father saying and do what we see Him doing. AMEN!
I have stationed watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem. Day and night, they never stop calling out.
You, too, must not rest or grow silent; keep reminding the Eternal to watch over Jerusalem.
Tirelessly pester God—give Him no rest—
until He reestablishes Jerusalem and makes it worthy of praise throughout the whole world.
