Read Phi 2:1-10
Observation: –
Our spirit is given to us by God to enable us to respond to Him. But the outward man is ever responding to things without, thus depriving us of the presence of God. We cannot destroy all the things without, but we can break down the outward man. We cannot put a stop to all the things without; these millions and billions of things in the world are utterly beyond our control. Whenever anything happens, our outward man will respond; thus we are not able to enjoy God\’s presence in peace. We conclude, therefore, that experiencing the presence of God is contingent upon the breaking of our outward man. If, through the mercy of God, our outward man has been broken, we may be thus characterized: Yesterday we were full of curiosity, but today it is impossible to be curious. Formerly our emotions could be easily aroused, either stirring our love, the most delicate emotion, or provoking our temper, the crudest. But now no matter how many things crowd upon us, our inward man remains unmoved, the presence of God unchanged, and our inner peace unruffled.
Application
Some feel that to have God\’s presence, their environment must be free of such distractions as the clatter of dishes. The farther away they are from mankind, the better they will be able to sense the presence of God. What a mistake! The trouble lies not in the dishes, nor in other people, but in themselves. God is not going to deliver us from the dishes; He will deliver us from our responses! No matter how noisy it is outside, the inside does not respond. Since the Lord has broken our outward man, we simply react as if we had not heard. Praise the Lord, we may possess very keen hearing, but due to the work of grace in our lives
Prayer
Pray for the revelation of these things to you and in you will be real. Pray that th understanding you gain will be applied immediately.
Today, @ 06:36p.m is the full moon.
- Command the full moon to declare the glory of God alone and reject every other instruction from any other source that is not ordained by God. Psalm 19.
- Proclaim Zech 9:15-17; In this month, command the full moon to praise YHVH. As the enemy comes in like a flood, as he comes as a terror by night or shoots arrows that fly by noonday, the Word of the Lord will be your shield and buckler. Psalm 91
- Ask Yeshua who is the Conquering King, to ride forth victoriously on behalf of righteousness, humility and truth during the full moon season. Every enemy instruction for the full moon to strike the righteous by night will be returned to sender as the moon rejects every other instruction except that which is from the Lord Psalm 45.3-6.
- During full moon seasons the gravitational pull of the moon on the earth causes an ebb and flow of waters resulting in tidal action and instability of the waters on earth even in bodies of all creatures. Pray that the waters of your body will stabilize and be still during the full moon season when the waters ebb and flow, and body fluids are also affected adversely. Ask the LORD to be the stability of your times; pray this for your economy and for the political landscape in your territory.
