Jesus and the Life of Faith.

Scripture: Matthew 8:5-8,10

  And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.  The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed…  When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

  Although God had instituted a lineage of faith and had found a man, Abraham, through whom this lifestyle could be perpetuated for future generations, by the time Jesus came in the flesh, that lifestyle of faith was again almost non-existent.”

“So faced with this situation, Jesus set about to re-establish the faith line Himself. He took twelve men and began to instruct them and to impart faith into their lives. Why? Because He had not given up on God\’s plan. He knew that He was going to come back someday looking for faith—and when He did, He intended to find it!

 PRAYER

To Watch What You Say

Father, today in the name of Jesus, I turn from speaking idle words and foolishly speaking things that are contrary to my true desires. The tongue defiles, sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire of hell.

I renounce, reject, and repent of every word that has ever proceeded out of my mouth against You, God, and Your operation. I cancel its power and dedicate my mouth to speak excellent and right things. I speak words of wisdom that are gentle and reasonable, over- flowing with mercy and blessings. Father, because You made me the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, I set the course of my life for obedience, abundance, wisdom, health, and joy. O Lord, set a guard over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips. Then the words of my mouth and my deeds shall show forth Your righteousness and Your salvation all of my days. I guard my mouth and my tongue that I might keep myself from calamity.

Father, Your words are top priority to me. They are spirit and life, and dwell in me richly in all wisdom. I speak Your Word, releasing Your ability within me. Your words are alive and working in me. So I boldly say that my words are words of faith, words of power, words of love, and words of life. They produce good things in my life and in the lives of others because I choose Your words for my lips and Your will for my life, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Crescents and Quarter Moons

When the moon is shaped like a C or its mirror image (Sickle), it is considered a crescent moon. The quarter moon is shaped like a D or its mirror image and considered to be a bow. The occult will use the bow shaped moon to shoot arrows of wickedness to the unsuspecting to draw unfair advantage in various areas of life. The occult uses the crescent moon as sickles (e.g. Hecate’s sickle), for harvesting the gains of the ignorant and for demonic strength and fortification with intense enchantments.

•  Proclaim Psalm 148 and Command all creation especially the crescent and Quarter moons to praise GOD as instructed in Psalm 19.
•  Proclaim Psalm 64 and fasten that judgment into the heavens.
•  Proclaim Isa 26:1-9 and command the heavens to receive this instruction and reject every other voiceof destruction; pray for strength and fortification “Trust in the LORD forever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength”. Isa 26:4
•  GOD abhors enchantment so He warned His people not to be involved in enchantment. (Lev 19:26b)
• Pray that the occult, involved in intense enchantment will equally and certainly face the fierce wrath of GOD. Is 13:9
