We begin our hour by praising and giving thanks to God!
“When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind,
and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues,
as the Spirit gave them utterance.”
Acts 2:1-4
We sing: Let the Fire Fall!
Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, come with Your fire! Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, come with Your fire!
Holy Spirit, come with Your fire! Holy Spirit, come with Your fire!
Come, Holy Spirit! Let the fire fall. Come, Holy Spirit! Let the fire fall
Let the fire fall! Let the fire fall!
Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, purify my heart! Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, purify my heart!
Holy Spirit, purify my heart Holy Spirit, purify my heart
Come, Holy Spirit! Let the fire fall. Come, Holy Spirit! Let the fire fall
Let the fire fall! Let the fire fall!
Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, set my life on fire Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, set my life on fire
Holy Spirit, set my life on fire! Holy Spirit, set my life on fire
Come, Holy Spirit! Let the fire fall. Come, Holy Spirit! Let the fire fall
Let the fire fall! Let the fire fall!
Let the fire fall! Let the fire fall!
Let the fire fall! Let the fire fall!

We ask that in every situation and decision, President Trump will be led by the Holy Spirit!
Pray.
We pray for ourselves and our loved ones, and corporately put on the full armor of God!

The Battle for the Survival of the Nation! – Part 13
“The Helper, the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My Name,
He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.”
John 14:26
Today, God’s people rejoice as we celebrate the Feast of Pentecost, the “birthday” of the church! Pentecost is known by different names, in particular, SHAVUOT! As we read and pray into today’s focus, let us prepare our hearts to receive a fresh infilling of God’s Spirit, to carry us into and through the days ahead! Pray.
The great holiday of Shavuot is regarded as the culmination of the experience of redemption, sometimes called the “Conclusion of Passover.” It is therefore the end or goal of the redemption experience for believers.
- Just as the redemption by the blood of the lambs led to Israel’s deliverance and the giving of the Torah at Sinai, so the redemption by the Blood of Yeshua led to the world’s deliverance and the giving of the Holy Spirit at Zion.
- And just as the covenant at Sinai created the nation of Israel, so the new covenant at Zion created the worldwide people of God, redeemed from “every tribe and tongue”. Revelation 5:9
Pray.
The goal of Passover redemption was to set us free to become God’s own treasured people, a light to the nations: ambassadors for Heaven’s voice. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit is therefore the climax of redemption, imparting the presence of the Comforter to help us live sanctified lives. Acts 1:8 Pray.
“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me,
for the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor;
he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and the opening of the prison to those who are bound”
Isaiah 61:1
Yeshua recited these very words Luke 4:18-19 to proclaim the advent of His Messianic ministry to Israel (the word translated ‘has anointed’ (mashach) is the root of the word for “Messiah” ( mashiach) “anointed one”).. The good news is proclaimed “to the poor” Matthew. 11:5 not to the world at large, nor to those who are at home in this age. The Spirit of the LORD brings good news to the afflicted ones; the Spirit binds up the brokenhearted and proclaims liberty to the captives. Pray.
The Spirit of the LORD heralds “good news.” The root meaning of the verb basar is “to bring news, especially pertaining to military encounters,” and hence the Septuagint (and the New Testament) renders it – “to proclaim the victory [of God’s redemption].” Pray.
Interestingly, the word basar also means “meat” or “flesh,” whereas besorah means “good tidings.” Perhaps the connection between the two words has to do with the proclamation of a feast during times of “good news” after a significant military victory. In the New Testament, the connection between the flesh of Messiah offered in sacrifice for our sins should also be noted, especially since the “good news” concerns deliverance from the devil and the sickness of spiritual (eternal) death. Pray.
The poor (anavim) are the meek, the lowly, the afflicted, the needy, and so on. The Hebrew word anavah means “humility,” suggesting inner poverty, bankruptcy, and hardship. The primary meaning of the root is “to force, “ or “to try to force submission,” “to punish or inflict pain upon,” or “to oppress.”
The Messiah was sent to “bind up” the wounds of the brokenhearted. The Hebrew verb chavash, “to bind up,” can also mean to govern or to restrain... The LORD is near to the nishbar lev, the one with a broken heart. He restrains its woundedness and salves its hurt. Pray.
The Hebrew word “lev” metaphorically refers to our inner life, that is, our affections, mind, and will. This is revealed in the letters of the Hebrew word itself: the Lamed ( ל) depicts a “staff” used to direct something (the will), and the Bet ( בּ) depicts the “house” of the physical body. Lev then represents our inner life of thought and feeling expressed in our actions. Those who are broken in heart – the nishberei lev – have discovered that they cannot control their own lives, that they are inwardly “shattered,” and therefore need divine help. Yeshua comes to those truly humbled by their sin; to those cut to the heart, to those who have bruised and wounded spirits and who live in great pain. It is for these the Savior rises to bring comfort…Pray.
Healing ultimately leads to deliverance, and therefore the LORD proclaims liberty to the captives and sets the prisoner free. The Hebrew word denotes the straight, swift flight of a swallow, hence freedom of movement, freedom from tzarah, (constriction, compression, bondage). The word “liberty” here recalls the Yovel, or year of Jubilee, when captives were set free and inheritances were restored Leviticus. 25:10 The Hebrew phrase Pekach-koach means not merely the opening of prisons but universal liberty, complete and perfect redemption.
Some scholars believe that the phrase refers to “the most complete opening,” namely, the opening of the eyes of the blind, and this seems to be the way the New Testament refers to it. Luke 4:18 . The Spirit of the LORD gives freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:17 Pray.
The message of the good news, the gospel, is for the poor and lowly in spirit. Matthew 5:3; Isaiah 66:2 . It is a message for sinners, not for the self-righteous. In Matthew 5:3, the word translated “the poor” is derived from a word that means “to crouch as a helpless beggar.” This word provides an image of someone in abject poverty, totally dependent on others for help. The “poor in spirit” are those who are painfully aware of their exile and need for help from God…Pray.
This seems to be the divine pattern.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone;
but if it dies, it bears much fruit”.
John 12:24
We pray:
- That our hard “outer shells” will be broken so that the life of the Spirit can come through. Pray.
- That God will “deconstruct” the “self” of the American people, so that life’s priorities, focus, and passions are redirected to Him alone, the true Source of life. Pray.
- Holy Spirit…Spirit of the American Revolution… we welcome You into our nation! COME, HOLY SPIRIT! Pray.
