OPENING PRAYER
Father God, Lord Jesus, we humbly come before you on this Holy Day offering corporate prayers for Israel and the United States of America in the heat of war so very near the borders of many of our allies. Create a canopy of safety around those in the fight, and we pray Your Will be done! We also ask for Your divine intercession for those in our community who are suffering illness, injury or loneliness. Touch them and fill them with You, in Jesus, AMEN
MESSAGE
This opening set of verses in Exo 17:8-15 Sets the historic stage of the conflicts and wars that have been going on without abatement since, at least, 1447BC. :
Then Amalek {a descendant of Esau, -in the line of Ishmael.} came and fought against Israel at Rephidim. {a Wadi located near mount Sinai } (9) So Moses said to Joshua, "Choose men for us and go out, fight against Amalek. Tomorrow I will station myself on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand."
(10) Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought against Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. (11) So it came about when Moses held his hand up, that Israel prevailed, and when he let his hand down, Amalek prevailed. (12) But Moses' hands were heavy. Then they took a stone and put it under [Moses], and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other. Thus his hands were steady until the sun set.
(13) [As a result] Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. (14) Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write this in a book as a memorial and recite it to Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven." (15) Moses built an altar and named it The LORD is My Banner...
We who have given ourselves to the Lord Jesus understands the meaning of carrying the Lord's Banner with us; If God is for us, who is against us? {Rom 8:31 NASB} It gives me such comfort knowing that The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do to me? {Psa 118:6}
From times immorial soldiers have gathered for the blessing of the Lord before entering battles. Deu 20:1-4 Tells us; "When you go out to battle against your enemies...do not be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, who brought you up from the land of Egypt, is with you. (2) "When you are approaching the battle, the [Chaplain] shall come near and speak to the warriors. (3) "He shall say to them, 'Hear, O Soldiers, you are approaching the battle against your enemies today. Do not be fainthearted. Do not be afraid, or panic, or tremble before them, (4) for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.' {Deu 20:1-4 NASB}
Often, the Chaplain will, by the will of God, pray for additional blessings as we find in; Psa 91:5-8; You will not be afraid of the terror by night, Or of the arrow that flies by day; (6) Of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon. (7) A thousand may fall at your side And ten thousand at your right hand, But it shall not approach you. (8) You will only look on with your eyes And see the recompense of the wicked.
SUMMARY
In twenty three years of service as an Army soldier, I personally have stood in many military formations preparing to depart to join a mission. Likewise the formations upon our return from places far away, and being so blessed to be able to stand with my brothers and sisters; proud of what the Lord trusted us with and what we accomplished by HIS grace and Mercy. I have witnessed directly the words of the Chaplain at departure, and the beautiful words as he welcomed us back to the land of the free.
Several years ago, around Easter time, the Lord so blessed me with the opportunity of being present at Camp Rudder and the return of a number of soldiers, slowly, silently moving out of the dark wood line in the middle of nowhere, at first light, having completed the last leg of U.S. Army Rangers Training.
These soldiers had survived the most demanding and dangerous military training on the planet. In a short while, they each would find out if they made it through. None of them knew with certainty. Some will return to their units, having only the experience BUT NOT HAVING WON.. THE TAB!
In a clearing, the Chaplain sat these worn and tired warriors in some metal bleachers, facing the Altar. He prayed and updated them on world events over the past 60 plus days! He delivered the most incredible sermon of Faith, Courage, and the love of a brother Ranger, the Chaplain himself. Many of those, that I was honored to be with that day, are now leading the way in today's operations overseas. Pray for them!
As a soldier in the Army of the Lord, you have given a banner to those who fear You, That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. {Psa 60:4 NKJV} The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
Though an [enemy] should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
Behold, God himself is with us as our captain.--The Lord of hosts is
with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. We Trust and Obey, that is the way...of the Lord.
They shall make war with the Lamb...and the Lamb shall overcome them.
CLOSING PRAYER
We pray for the citizens of Israel, the middle East and innocents in Iran. We plead for stability, safety and a new beginning. We pray for stamina, courage, patience, awareness and for GOD's PEACE. All in the name of Jesus the Christ, The Messiah, AMEN
[THE LORD'S SUPPER]
[Sing a song to the Lord, lift up your voices]
DOXOLOGY
Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, Ye heav'n-ly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
AMEN
THE CALL
If you have never invited Jesus to be your Lord and savior, or, if you have in the past yet remain unsure of salvation and forgiveness of sin, Please pray with me now: Lord Jesus I need to fill a hole in my life that follows me where ever I go. I am a long-time Sinner and I CONFESS and REPENT of all my sins. I believe that You JESUS are the Lord, that you were hung on a cross and died. I believe that you were raised back to life by God, Your Father, ascended into heaven and presently sit at the right hand of The Almighty. Please come into me, clean me, take me and make me Yours and let me serve from this day forward and forever, Thank-You Jesus, AMEN
If you sincerely prayed with me, your salvation has been assured. {Rom 10:9 KJV} -That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Waste no time in finding like minded folks, to fellowship with, who also know the lord Jesus. Be introduced to a church that preaches the BIBLE. Email me. Begin the journey that you will never tire of; the discovery of the Majesty, Beauty and loving Power of Jesus the Christ. Welcome to the family!
