¹² Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. ¹³ You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. ¹⁴ I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile. ~ Jeremiah 29:12–14

This is a call for the wayward Israelites to return to God, and God will come to them and save them and take them back to the place He had promised them. We have a promise from God. One day Jesus will split the eastern sky and come back to get us, that where He is, there we will be also. Therefore, all men ought to pray and seek God before that great and terrible day for all who are left behind because great and small will cry out in fear as they see the Lamb seated on His glorious throne.

Let today be a day to seek the LORD so that He might restore you to all that the Devil has stolen. All of your hopes, dreams, promises, and, most of all, your peace. Let today be a day to return to the LORD all that you’ve taken from Him. All of your fears, worries, anxieties, and strongholds. Lay all of that at His feet. He paid the price for your freedom and for you to live life more abundantly. Don’t take the heavy yoke back from the LORD when He promised He would carry it for you. Leave it at His feet and take love, joy, peace, and every good gift the LORD has for you.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Only Take Back The Good.

¹ Blow a trumpet in Zion; sound an alarm on my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the Lord is coming; it is near, ~ Joel 2:1

If we look around at all that is going on, we’ll see good is called evil, and evil is called good. The Name of Jesus is being blasphemed even in His own Church. Members of the Body of Christ are living according to the flesh. They’re living as if they will not have to give an account to the judge of the whole world. People care more for trees and animals than they care for human life. Little babies still in the womb are being murdered daily because they are not even seen as human, and it’s all done with the approval and encouragement of world governments. They call it a woman’s right to choose, while God sees it as child sacrifice. We are sacrificing our children just as those ancient civilizations sacrificed their children.

The warning blasts of the trumpet of God are sounding in the spiritual, warning His church to get ready to meet Him in the air. As a matter of fact, there are reports worldwide of people hearing the sound of trumpet blasts. So many people have reported the strange sounds that it has even made the news. We are closer now more than ever to the return of Jesus. There’re signs all around that His return is soon at hand. Are you ready for His return? Is your family ready for His return? As the Ten Days of Awe continue, take today out to pray and intercede on behalf of your unsaved loved ones so that when Jesus returns, they might be caught up to meet Him in the sky as well.

LORD God, I stand in the gap for each and every one of my unsaved loved ones. I pray that You would unveil their eyes and unclog their ears so that they might hear Your gentle knock at the door of their hearts. I pray that You might hear my plea for them and answer my prayer as You promised that You would throughout the Scriptures. I pray that You might replace their heart of stone with a heart of flesh and renew a right spirit within them. Awaken their sleeping spirit within them. I pray that when You return, all of my loved ones and I might be doing the work You have called us to do. Please guide and protect each one of us. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.

⁴⁰ And He came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And He said to Peter, “So, could you not watch with me one hour? ⁴¹ Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” ~ Matthew 26:40-41

I heard a man once say that Jesus was the busiest man on earth because He only had 3 ½ years to complete all that God had for Him, yet He always took time out to pray. Jesus understood the importance of prayer. He understood the importance of alone time with His Heavenly Father. Today, we lack the understanding and full importance of prayer. We can’t fully grasp what prayer does because we don’t see what our prayers are doing in the spirit realm.

Our prayers aren’t just empty words. When we pray, we are spiritually seated in Heavenly places with the LORD. The prayers of a righteous person availeth much. It overcomes the darkness, brings forth the breath of life, heals the sick, and redeems the prodigal. Your prayers aren’t useless; they move the very hand of God. So pray. Pray with all that is within you.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Shift the Spirit Realm.

^17b … and the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, ¹⁸ praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, ~ Ephesians 6:17-18

The Sword of the Spirit isn’t just the physical Word of God that we refer to as the Bible. It’s not just quoting Scripture. It’s quoting Scripture in Jesus’ name through the power of the Holy Spirit. This power of the Holy Spirit can only be activated through praying in the Spirit because your spirit can only be built up through praying in the spirit, just as your mind can only be built up through praying with your mind.

This is why the Church has been in a dormant state. A state where people leave the Church and become pagans or occultists because the Church has no power. We no longer see the miracles of old in the Church today because the Church rarely prays in the Spirit. Each and every one of us has a Spirit language. This isn’t the same as the speaking in tongues that we saw in Acts 2, which is speaking a heavenly language, and each person hearing heard it in their own language regardless of whom they listened to.

This isn’t the same as the speaking in tongues that Paul refers to in 1 Corinthians 14, which is speaking a word from God in a heavenly language to the Church and then needing the interpretation of that heavenly language from either the person that spoke or from another who received the interpretation from God. This is speaking in a heavenly language that is specific to your spirit that connects to God’s Spirit that is in you. It is your spirit’s way of building itself up but also cutting through the limitations of our minds and getting straight down to what it is that you need that you may not even know. Without feeding our spirit, it can’t grow. This is how we grow our spirit.

This is the key to activating the Sword of the Spirit. So, when we start to pray in the Spirit and we start to activate the Sword of the Spirit, we will begin to see a change in our lives. We will begin to see the power of God fill us as His Spirit builds in us and builds our spirit with Him. After we have prayed in the spirit, we must pray with our mind that our mind might be built up as well. After we have built up our spirits and our minds, we must then make supplication for the rest of the saints of God. These are the keys to wielding the Sword of the Spirit. Each one of these is important, for a three-strand cord is not easily broken.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Activate The Sword of The Spirit.

⁴ For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. ⁵ We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, ⁶ being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete. ~ 2 Corinthians 10:4-6

You cannot play around with sin and pull its tail or its ear and think that no harm can or will ever come to you. Remember, its desire is to have you, but you must master it, not by playing with it or trying to befriend it, but by casting it down.

When you play with sin or with temptation, you become familiar with it, and its familiarity begins to break down your resistance to it, and eventually, you will give in to it. Because one thought will lead to another thought, and that one still to another, and soon sin will have its desire.

You!

Sin will overcome you each time if you continue to allow it residence in your mind. That’s how sin gets you. The idea. The fantasy. The repetition. That’s why Paul said we cast down every thought and force it to conform to Christ. Because it’s only God who is perfect, it’s only God that can truly know right from God. And it’s only God that knows what is best for us because even we can/do fall for the lie that some evil isn’t truly evil.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Take Them Captive.

⁵ After that you shall come to Gibeath-elohim, where there is a garrison of the Philistines. And there, as soon as you come to the city, you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place with harp, tambourine, flute, and lyre before them, prophesying. ⁶ Then the Spirit of the Lord will rush upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man. ⁷ Now when these signs meet you, do what your hand finds to do, for God is with you. ~ 1 Samuel 10:5-7

Before the Day of Pentecost, where tongues of fire rested upon the believers in the Upper Room, the Spirit of the LORD was not dwelling on earth in mankind. In fact, there were times of silence when the Spirit was not in the land at all. But look at what happened when the Spirit of the Lord came upon Saul after he was anointed as king of Israel. The Spirit rushed powerfully upon him, and he began to prophesy. In fact, the Spirit even went a bit farther; Saul was changed into a different person. He became a new creation. Today this should be even more real to us.

Many believe that the power of God no more works through the Church. That the spiritual gifts given to the early Church were somehow only for the early Church. Why would God tell us to earnestly seek the higher gifts if it wasn’t for us? Either all Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that we in the Church may be complete, equipped for every good work, or none of it is. We can’t make an entire section of the Word of God null and void just because it makes us uncomfortable or we don’t understand it. Today when we are saved, we should see an even greater change in us than Saul did, for the Spirit, Himself, abides in us. It didn’t just rush upon us; it is living in us, for we have become the Temple of the Living God. So, when we are saved, we should be filled with the very power of God that not only redeems us but awakens the spiritual gift we have been given that has remained inactive in us, waiting for the power of God to awaken it. Not all will prophesy, but all who are willing and who seek it out will receive the power of the Spirit of God, and their spiritual gift will be awakened with that power.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Awaken The Power.

⁵ But to Hannah he gave a double portion, because he loved her, though the Lord had closed her womb. ⁶ And her rival used to provoke her grievously to irritate her, because the Lord had closed her womb. ¹¹ And she vowed a vow and said, “O Lord of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your servant and remember me and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a son, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall touch his head.” ¹³ Hannah was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, and her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli took her to be a drunken woman. ¹⁴ And Eli said to her, “How long will you go on being drunk? Put your wine away from you.” ~ 1 Samuel 1:5-6, 11, 13-14 ESV

Isn’t it peculiar that a lot of important people or people used by God came from barren women? Their wombs may have been barren year after year, and people may have mislabeled them as drunk when crying out to God, but God still used them if they were willing to be used by Him. Even though they couldn’t see it in the physical because their barren womb had the potential of bearing/producing children, as long as they sought God with all that was within them, God turned that barren womb into a womb that would house greatness.

For instance, Hannah was barren, but she travailed in prayer before God because she wanted a child. She didn’t allow the antagonizing taunts of her rival to keep her from her heart’s desire. She didn’t allow the misjudgment of the man of God who called her drunk to cause her to give up praying. Hannah believed that her barren womb would one day produce life. That’s how we need to be with our dreams that God has put into us. We need to travail in prayer as Hannah did. Even if people put us down and call us all manner of derogatory names, even if they mislabeled us as drunk or crazy, we cannot give up. We have to fight through the antagonizing world so that our prayers may be heard. The only one who giving up hurts, is the one who has given up. Therefore, we must continue to pray until our time of being barren is over, and we give birth to our dream/promise.
