Seek and Confess

Pray for Who?
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
so that you may prove yourselves to be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
Matthew 5:43-45 NASB
🌹Now more than ever, let us pray for our enemies. Pray for those who oppose God’s will, His way.

Impossible is Possible
And the Lord looked at him and said, “Go in this strength of yours and save Israel from the hand of Midian. Have I not sent you?”
Judges 6:14 NASB

But he said to Him, “O Lord, how am I to save Israel? Behold, my family is the least in Manasseh, and I am the youngest in my father’s house.”
Judges 6:15 NASB
But Jesus said to him, “ ‘If You can?’ All things are possible for the one who believes.”

Looking at them, Jesus *said, “With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.”

God can do extraordinary things through the “least” of people. All He wants is a willing, surrendered and obedient heart.
Yet the Lord said to him, “I will certainly be with you, and you will defeat Midian as one man.”
Judges 6:16 NASB
God is with us. We do not face anything He calls us to alone.
I am the vine, you are the branches; the one who remains in Me, and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.
John 15:5 NASB
🌹God calls us to go in Him. In His strength. In His power. To accomplish the impossible for His will and purpose. Even little ol you.

Living Word
Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.
Proverbs 30:5 NASB
For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, even penetrating as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12 NASB
God is His word. It is living and active just as God Himself. His word is pure and cleansing. God’s word brings us to the awareness of our need to be obedient to His word. His word is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us; and we saw His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14 NASB
🌹Is the Word living in You? Is the Word active? Are you being perfected, transformed by the Word? Read it and watch as God changes you.

Cling
Only be very careful to follow (perform) the commandment and the Law which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, to love the Lord your God and walk in all His ways, and keep His commandments and cling to Him, and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
Joshua 22:5 NASB
Cling:
to adhere closely; stick to:
to hold tight, as by grasping or embracing; cleave
to be or remain close. (Dictionary.com)
🌹But you are to cling to the Lord your God, as you have done to this day.
Joshua 23:8 NASB

Eagerly Awaiting
And just as it is destined for people to die once, and after this comes judgment, so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.
Hebrews 9:27-28 NASB
In this Holy Week commemorating Jesus’s death and resurrection, where is your mind focused? We already know that Jesus rose from the dead but those watching Jesus go to the cross and be buried, were they eagerly waiting for His return to the living? What victory for those who saw Him resurrected.
🌹”to those who eagerly await Him.”
Are you eagerly awaiting the arrival of King Jesus? His return?!
