Be like Leah

 Many times we just need to be like Leah … forget about Jacob … focus on the Lord. 

And all nations shall call you blessed

My prayer for us today: 

Malachi 3:12 KJV 

And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.

My prayer for us today

 That we are protected from the Covid 19 virus. No evil comes near our dwellings nor near us and all our loved ones and friends. That Covid 19 will leave earth soonest in Jesus’s name amen. 

About prayer

Why do we close our eyes when we pray?

We close our eyes usually so that we could focus.

We are given all spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus. 

Where are these blessings now?

They are found in the spiritual realm. 

When we close our eyes, we go into the invisible spiritual realm where all things are possible because we are in Christ.

Pray until something happens means pray until we can sense what we are praying for we have already received. 

Where is the lost item?

 where was the axehead?  today I learned something about lost and found.   I needed some pepper for my egg mayo, I searched for my pepper container at the usual box but it was not there.   I looked at the dining table but it was not there.   Then hubby said something, it should be at it's regular place.   I looked and looked again but could not find it.   Then I rearranged the bottle of cooking oil back to it's original place, then I saw the pepper container!   It was right where around it's usual place!  

Then I immediately applied this principle to look for a lost book,  yes! it is found,  it was just on the floor near the table I usually put it.   Wow!  

I remember someone ever mentioned that our lost items were not actually lost. They’d been misplaced. So we would be able to locate them somehow. 

Then I remember the story of the lost axehead .... Elisha asked his disciple who had lost his axehead to throw a wooden stick into the water where the axehead was lost and God did the miracle! HE made the metal axehead float onto the water where the disciple could retrieve it and get back to his work!   So if we find that we might have lost something precious to us, we could locate it (with God's miraculous help) around the same area where we might have lost it.   A proven Biblical principle for lost things. So blessed .... 

1 Kings 6:1-7 KJV 

1 And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us. 2 Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye. 3 And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go. 4 So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood. 5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed. 6 And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim. 7 Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.

Test

 My prayer for us today:

If we've failed, God is going to help us pass the test again. This time to pass with flying colours. Live life led by His Spirit. Just let Him lead. 

My Prayer for us today

 My prayer for us today is ... just like Jacob who was not afraid to admit to God that he was afraid of meeting Esau. And God met him personally and blessed him and even have him a new name Israel. Know this that God loves to show Himself as God to resolve our problems and address our fears. Good that Jacob approached God and not other human beings with him. 

Holy Spirit

 The Holy Spirit is the most powerful force on planet earth and the whole universe. And He resides in every child of God. Thank you Jesus.

Ants

 I sliced the meat on the chopping board and I left it a while on my table with my other cooked food uncovered. 

When I returned to the table I noticed that theee were some ants on my chopping board but not on my cooked food. 

I also noticed that these ants did not have a trail and I’m not sure where they came from. 

When I washed the ants off the chopping board, something inside spoke to me... “You don’t see where the ants come from and yet they’re there, so am I, I AM here.” 

It’s okay to admit your fears to the Lord

It is okay to admit our fears before the Lord ... like Jacob who prayed to the Lord when he was fearful to meet Esau 

then the Lord met him ... and blessed him and granted him reconciliation with Esau and changed his name to Israel. 

Genesis 32:KJV

11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.

24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.

28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
