Praying Back The Promises

 PS 138

7Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
you preserve my life;
you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies,
and your right hand delivers me.
8The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me;
your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever.
Do not forsake the work of your hands.

"Lord, your Word says even though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life.  I ask you to honor your promises in my life.  Let it be as it has been written.  You promised to stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, I ask you to honor your promises.  Our enemies are all around us, they have all  the wordly wealth and wordly power and they attack humanity with unceasing blows.  How much longer Lord until our enemies experience your wrath according to your Word?  Lord, your Word says you will fulfill your purpose for me, let it be as it has been written.  Please do not forsake the work of your hands.  For the sake of those who bow the knee to you, praying for your grace and mercy daily, deliver us from our enemies and take the fight to those who fight against us.  Wage war against those who wage war against us.  Thank you Lord God Almighty for your great and precious promises.  Thank you Lord for your tender mercies and living kindness.  Thank you for your great goodness to me, my family, all the brothers and all of humanity.  I glorify you today for who you are and all that you have done.  May all the glory and honor, power and wealth be yours forever more.

In Jesus name I pray, standing in agreement with everyone else around the world who is praying the same or similar prayers."

This ^^^ is an example of how we pray back the promises to the Lord our God.  Our enemies have launched all out total war on humanity, we will need the Lord our God to engage our enemies on our behalf.  We will need to do our part by 1: praying, 2. standing in agreement with each other in what we are asking for and 3.  praying back the promises to the Lord God who made those promises.  How can He resist His own Words?

If we do our part, the Lord God will do His part.  We are in a spiritual war first and foremost which means the "tools" we use to defend ourselves are first and foremost spiritual.  We must engage everywhere, all day every day because our enemies have left almost no stone left unturned in their total assault on humanity.  We must pray that the Lord God will take the fight to the front door of the enemy's spiritual strongholds to cutoff all supply and support to their physical armies here on earth.  With no supply or support "they" will be in serious trouble.

We did not ask for this war, but "they" decided it would be a great idea.  This nobody who writes to you today has no indication whatsoever, zero impression that the Spirit of the Lord would have us rollover and allow the enemy to ride roughshod all over us.  What is happening is no surprise to an all knowing, all powerful God who sees the end from the beginning.  He was ready for this and we who are alive on earth and in His service today are at least in part the answer to the enemy assault on humanity.

It is time to do our job and that job starts with prayer.  Lets get down on our knees in our time of need and seek the Lord's face so we may find favor in our time of need.

Heb 4:16

Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Glory to God

grace and peace
