Hope in the not yet

April 19, 2020

I'm not an expert on Jewish stuff.... but we are in the first month of the Jewish calendar (a new Biblical year), while simultaneously entering the 7th month since the Jewish New Year. (Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year. It is the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve, and a day of judgment and CORONATION of God as king.) I'm still praying into this.... too long to write in this post, but there is something very significant in this timing.

Remember, Corona means "crown". Everything we see in the natural is a direct mirror of what is taking place in the spiritual. If this is a time to acknowledge coronation of God, yet this demonic 'Crown" virus is trying to exalt itself. Time to use our words. Stop praying defensive (reactionary) prayers and begin to speak out His Kingship, His Lordship during this season. He is the King of Glory! Begin praying offensively.

Striving will not make a difference during this season. Works and programs will not gain momentum. It is time to use our words We are resting for a reason. With your worship be intimate. With your Praise be jubilant, but with your prayers, be offensive. At the end of this season, may He alone be glorified!

Love the Lord your God; love your neighbor, pray without ceasing, make disciples... these are more important than platforms and programs. Busyness will keep you from the greater thing. What happens in the coming days will cause us to wonder.... at His greatness, His faithfulness, His goodness, His plans - which are high above ours.

He says in Isaiah 42 (The Voice translation): I am the Eternal One. By righteousness I have called you. I will take you by the hand and keep you safe. You are given as a covenant between Me and the people: a light for the nations, a shining beacon to the world. You will open blind eyes so they will see again. You will lead prisoners, blinking, out from caverns of captivity, from cells pitch black with despair. I am the Eternal One. I Am is My name. My beauty is unique, a weighty splendor all My own. And nothing else ... could possibly gain My praise. ...The now is new, and there’s hope in the not-yet...
