Trust Me With Your Isaac By Beth Moore

  For every Abraham who dares

        to kiss the foreign field

   where glory for a moment grasped

           Is for a lifetime tilled....

        The voice of God

       speaks not but once

     but 'til the travelers hears

 "Abraham! Abraham! Bring your

           Isaac here!"

" Bring not the Blemished sacrifice.

      What lovest thou the most?

       Look not into the distance,

      you'll find your Isaac close. "

" I hear the tearing of your heart

         torn between two loves,

    the one your vision can behold

           the Other hid above."

   "Do you trust me, Abraham

       with your greatest fear?

  Will you pry your fingers loose 
      and bring your Isaac here?"

"Have I not made you a promise?
       Hold the tight instead!
 I am the Lover of your souls-
      the Lifter of your head."

     " Believe me, O my Abraham

       when blinded by the cost

       Arrange the wooded alter

     and count your gains but lost."

"Let tears wash clean your blinded eyes

              until unveiled you see-

       the ram caught in the thicket there

             to set your Isaac free."

 " Perhaps I'll send him down the mount

               to walk right by your side.

           No longer in your iron grasp

               but safer still in mine."

       "Or I may wrap him in the wind

       and sweep him from your sight 

     to better thing beyond your reach-

           believe with all your might!"

       "Look up,beloved Abraham.

          Can you count the stars?

       Multitudes will stand to reap

       from one dear friend of God."

        "Pass the test, my faithful one;

                 bow to me as Lord.

            Trust me with your Isaac-

                           see,

           I am your great reward."

Prayer Warriors: 
  Who are the Isaac's in your life? 
  The ones we can't seem to let go!
  Some are on this list and others are trails we are facing.
  No matter the who or what that Isaac is today, lay it at the alter today.
  Let our Father do what He needs to do today! 
   

                                         

                                
               

                         

                                                
                                 


                                                  

This is what the Lord God says:

Look, I will lift up My hand to the nations,

and raise My banner to the peoples.

They will bring your sons in their arms,

and your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.

23Kings will be your foster fathers,

and their queens your nursing mothers.

They will bow down to you

with their faces to the ground,

and lick the dust at your feet.

Then you will know that I am Yahweh;

those who put their hope in Me

will not be put to shame.

24Can the prey be taken from the mighty,

or the captives of the righteous be delivered?

25For this is what the Lord says:

“Even the captives of a mighty man will be taken,

and the prey of a tyrant will be delivered;

I will contend with the one who contends with you,

and I will save your children

Isaiah 49: 22-25

Prayer For Our Adult Children And The Ones We Love

Our father in heaven, our banner. The one, we can look up and know you are near. Who is control of the nations, our families, our souls. There is no one like you. The father of lights. My Yahweh Nisssi. 

You can save our children, you the power do it. Save them Lord, save them from the sin that easily entangles them. Save them, from themselves. They are held captive, from the enemy who seeks to destroy their lives, but you have promise to deliver them with your mighty hand. There is nothing impossible with you, all things are possible. 

We Praise you, we glorify your name! Your banner is over me. Over the ones we love. You are our  HOPE, in you we put our trust in. You are a good God, a merciful one. Who else do I  have, who else can I turn to. Only you Jesus, have the power of the CROSS, to set the captives free. Set them free!

In Jesus Name, Amen.

Ephesians 6: 10-18

10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.11Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,15and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints.

Prayers Warriors,
   
  We have to remember that our fight is not against our husbands, that are not walking in ways of the Lord or with that prodigal son or daughter, who hasn't come home. The boss at work,who doesn't understand. The financial mess i'm in and I don't see no way out. How about all the above! It doesn't matter the situations, we might find ourselves in. The battle is against the enemy of this world! We are in battle, wither we want to be or not.
Will we live in victory or in defeat?
   Ladies, I really believe, it is the prayer life we are choosing to live. We will always have trails and tribulations. How are we choosing to go through them? Do we get up in prayer, putting on the full armor of God, believing and trusting in our Lord. Laying our burdens at His feet or do we walk around, with no faith at all. Wondering, maybe my God will do something for me today.
   Ladies, we do not serve a powerless God so maybe He trying to teach us something. That is something, God can only answer, in your situation.. A good start would be, look up and say, "What do you want from me today?"
   The only way, we will be able to defeat our enemy or our flesh and the things in this world. We have to live, like a Prayer Warrior. Putting on that armor and report for duty! Remember, who are commander is so let's start living like it! He has power and authority over ALL things.
    
A Prayer Less Life is a Power Less One

                                                    Blessings,
                                                         Christina

Psalm 34

1I will praise the Lord at all times;

His praise will always be on my lips.

2I will boast in the Lord;

the humble will hear and be glad.

3Proclaim Yahweh’s greatness with me;

let us exalt His name together.

4I sought the Lord, and He answered me

and delivered me from all my fears.

5Those who look to Him are radiant with joy;

their faces will never be ashamed.

6This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him

and saved him from all his troubles.

7The Angel of the Lord encamps

around those who fear Him, and rescues them.

8Taste and see that the Lord is good.

How happy is the man who takes refuge in Him!

9You who are His holy ones, fear Yahweh,

for those who fear Him lack nothing.

10Young lions lack food and go hungry,

but those who seek the Lord

will not lack any good thing.

11Come, children, listen to me;

I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

12Who is the man who delights in life,

loving a long life to enjoy what is good?

13Keep your tongue from evil

and your lips from deceitful speech.

14Turn away from evil and do what is good;

seek peace and pursue it.

15The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,

and His ears are open to their cry for help.

16The face of the Lord is set

against those who do what is evil,

to erase all memory of them from the earth.

17The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears,

and delivers them from all their troubles.

18The Lord is near the brokenhearted;

He saves those crushed in spirit.

19Many adversities come to the one who is righteous,

but the Lord delivers him from them all.

20He protects all his bones;

not one of them is broken.

21Evil brings death to the wicked,

and those who hate the righteous will be punished.

22The Lord redeems the life of His servants,

and all who take refuge in Him will not be punished.
