PRAYERS OF THE BIBLE SERIES: THE BOOK OF GENESIS #1
Wednesday, March 23rd, 2016THE FIRST PRAYER OF THE BIBLE
13 And Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is greater than I can bear! 14 Surely You have driven me out this day from the face of the ground; I shall be hidden from Your face; I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth, and it will happen that anyone who finds me will kill me.” 15 And the Lord said to him, “Therefore, whoever kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.” And the Lord set a mark on Cain, lest anyone finding him should kill him. (Genesis 4:13-15)
The very first prayer in the Bible was the end result of a rebuke from God to the first murderer in history. Cain had just killed his brother Abel, when worship and sacrifice to God went awry, due to jealousy. Cain also lied to the Father insisting he did not know where Abel was, using those immortal words “Am I my brother’s keeper”. Because of his vile actions, God banished him, cursed him and sent him on his way to roam the earth as a fugitive, who will even a hard time growing his own food. This shook Cain to the core. He obviously had not thought of the consequences of his action and in shock, sorrow, fear and sadness, Cain offered the very first prayer of the Bible from a human…..READ MORE HERE
WITH A HEART of WORSHIP
Monday, January 18th, 2016
Today, Yahweh- I Am Who I Am, is calling us as a people unto Himself. He is calling us to be a people of worship. The problem is that the noise of this world has clogged the direct pipeline from heaven, which many first maintained free and clear at the point of conversion from a child of darkness into a saint walking in His Marvelous Light. Revelation chapter four tells us in bold colors, what really going on in heaven, not just right now, but at all times since eternity past. True worship in the truly amazing Temple of God is what’s happening. It dwarfs the idolatry of celebrity and self which we call “worship” here on planet earth. However, we are not given that glimpse of heaven for anything else but for our edification and anticipation of that glorious time in the Father’s actual presence one day soon when we live for eternity in The Kingdom of His Marvelous Light.
So turn aside what this temporary corrupt culture and people deem as important and pray for a redirection of heart, mind, body and soul in true alignment with the Spirit of God Who sealed you way back then, at the hour of your salvation. If today you truly heard His voice, harden not your heart, but return to Him, in the Name of whom there is no comparison, Jesus Christ, amen.
Oh come, let us sing to the Lord!
Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving;
Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.
3 For the Lord is the great God,
And the great King above all gods.
4 In His hand are the deep places of the earth;
The heights of the hills are His also.
5 The sea is His, for He made it;
And His hands formed the dry land.
6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
