Prayer Focus – Pakistani Taliban

Our next prayer focus are the Taliban in Pakistan. I’ve included the link to an article regarding some of the threats they are promising to deliver on with the USA.

I have no doubts that in many nations Americans have misrepresented godly virtue and grace. We need to repent of this, however, let us be clear, true peace in the Middle East and in Central Asia (all the -stans) comes only in Jesus Christ, Messiah, on the throne in Jerusalem – he is the true peacemaker, called the Son of God.

Prayer Focus – Mexico (northern border)

Our next Prayer Focus is on Mexico and the President’s War on the Drug Cartels.

Prayer Focus – Russia

I am starting a new special category called, ‘Prayer Focus’. With each segment, I am giving a brief excerpt or description of a place, some prayer points and an Apostolic Prayer to use in praying for the location mentioned. I have purposely picked places that have been listed on the World Wide Web’s ‘Most Dangerous Nations’ List. This is not to poke fun or make anybody look bad, it’s just to focus on praying for a place that needs a greater revelation of Jesus.

The Cross of Jesus – My Only Hope!

I am looking at the law of God and the brokenness of humanity. There is only one hope and that is the redemption of Jesus through his cross.

We need fire!

Revelation 8: 3 – tells us that in heaven at the opening of the seventh seal, an angel with a golden censer is given much incense that he should offer it with the prayers of the saints upon the golden altar which is before the throne…the smoke created by the incense and prayers creates a fire on the altar that when cast to earth (vs. 5) looses ‘noises, thunderings, lightnings and an earthquake.’

Priesthood of Melchizedek

Jesus exemplifies the fullness of the priesthood found in the order of Melchizedek. I am hearing an invitation into the understanding of the Melchizedek priesthood. We are told that there is much to say about this priesthood, it is hard to explain because of dullness of heart (Heb. 5: 9-11).

‘The speck and the plank…’ – Mt. 7: 3-5

Oh God help us to deal honestly with the brokenness of our humanity! Oh the kindness of God that he would continue to use us as our broken humanity manifests so often. Ever been there, I have, he’s just so kind! It’s his mercy! Truly! I was disappointed recently reading a manuscript from Martin Luther that great reformer of ‘justification by faith’ in the early 1500’s.

Passion for Jesus

Just a couple of simple thoughts…

‘Is Jesus enough?’

The Redeemer of Israel

Jesus – Yeshua – Is the Redeemer of Israel.  Isaiah the prophet of Israel opens his 49th chapter prophesying of ‘My Servant…’ (vs. 3, 5, 7, ) This Servant, sent by God the Father, worked salvation and redemption for Israel.

‘Come, let us return to the Lord…’ – Hosea 6: 1-2

‘Come, and let us return to the Lord; For He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up. After two days He will revive us; On the third day He will raise us up, that we may life in His sight. (Hos. 6: 1-2)

Today, this verse is ringing in my ear…, friends, it’s time to enter into the Holy of Holies by a new and living way…(Heb. 10: 19).
