Praying from the timeless position

Image
you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God (the heavenly Jerusalem), to myriads of angels in festive gathering, to the assembly of the firstborn whose names have been written in heaven, to God who is the Judge of all, to the spirits of righteous people made perfect, to Jesus (mediator of a new covenant), and to the sprinkled blood.. Look! The Lion from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has been victorious so that He may open the scroll... Recommended: Seeing with a God - lens The fullness of God’s nature ☆

When Jesus Christ multiplies

Image
Late in the day, the Twelve approached and said to Him, “Send the crowd away, so they can go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find food and lodging, because we are in a deserted place here.” “You give them something to eat,” He told them. “We have no more than five loaves and two fish,” they said, “unless we go and buy food for all these people.” (For about 5,000 men were there.) Then He told His disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about 50 each.” They did so, and had them all sit down. Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke them. He kept giving them to the disciples to set before the crowd. Everyone ate and was filled. Then they picked up 12 baskets of leftover pieces. Luke 9:12-17 When Jesus multiplies He goes through the same process, taking us through the stages that lead to the movement: 1st he sets down the crowd, attenuating the stir, (Ps. 46:10) then re-orienting their...

Praise the Lord all His armies

Image
Praise the Lord, all His angels of great strength, who do His Word, obedient to His command. Praise the Lord, all His armies,* His servants who do His will. Psalm 103:20-21 the LORD of hosts,* Him you shall honor as holy. Let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread. And He will become a sanctuary... Isa 8:12-14 *meditation: In 1Pt 3:15 we read: "in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord.." of Hosts! → Because Peter quotes Isaiah. It means that the apostles knew that Christ/ the Messiah is the Lord of hosts, the Lord of the Heavenly Armies. All honour and fear is due to His Name.

..a right to speak

Image
since we have a right to speak (we have confidence to enter) the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way... since we have a Great Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean,.. our bodies washed with pure water. Heb 10:19-22

Blood and Fire

Image
There was a time in my life when I rejected, both externally and internally, everything as "useless", such as spiritual gifts, etc. Such (testimony) writings will only impart profound blessings to us if we read them in a spirit of repentance and confess our own sloth and poverty. Then we cannot put them down without asking and pleading with all our hearts, Lord, fill me also with the Holy Spirit and fire! Yes, then it will be great and important, even holy, what is written on the banner of the Salvation Army: 'Blood and Fire'. We need the blood of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit if we do not want our lives to be poor, to be empty and fruitless. Without the blood of Jesus, there is no forgiveness, no healing (Isa.53:5) Without the Holy Spirit, there is no power, no empowerment (Acts.1:7-8) Emil Nigg

Praise, Pray, Proclaim

Image
© jhopfan.org This article is a part of the "Vitalize" pack Isaiah 62:6 Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen on your walls; they will never be silent, day or night. There is no rest for you, who remind the Lord. Do not give Him rest until He establishes and makes Jerusalem the praise of the earth. · Does this statement only apply to Jerusalem? · Has the revelation been fulfilled? · Definition of guard? We are to continually praise, glorify and worship God – because Jesus prays that God's Kingdom will come and His will be done here on earth, as it is in the Heaven . And in heaven, there is constant praise, worship and adoration. (I wrote a study about the reflection of the Heaven here. ) We're the royal priesthood in the New Testament. So the basic priestly ministries of prayer, fasting, thanksgiving, worship and representation are our responsibility. Although you see a different order on the jhopfan.or...

Ps 141 - Prayer incense

Image
Let my prayer be counted as incense before You, and the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice. Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips. Do not turn my heart to any evil, to busy myself with wicked deeds in company with those who work iniquity: do not let me eat of their delicacies Psalm 141:2-4

God dwells in the praises of His people

Image
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?.. Yet you are holy, enthroned {dwelling} on the praises of Israel. Psalm 22 And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him 1 John 2:28 Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us. 1 John 3:24 We are encouraged by John to abide in God, which has various meaning in the believer's life. In 1John chapter 2 and 3 we get dense apostolic visions how this relationship shapes our lives and makes ripples around us.. However, God is equally present in us and desires to live within our hearts' worship and adoration. Psalm 22, the great messianic-prophetic psalm, reveals this heavenly intimate relationship showing the out casted, Suffering Messiah who -In His Greatest sacrifice, in His death agony- gives us a glorious dimensions about Gd's dwelling...

Dozens of ways to praise

Image
Christian singer-guitarist László Prazsák (House of Prayer, Budapest) has collected the 12 ways of praise found in the Bible into a bunch.... What is certain is that after reading the list, we may realize how little we give to God while "praising Him" in our communities. ... in fact, it is strange that we need to talk about and teach the ways of displaying praise, since these ways are quite natural in secular praise. In many non-religious settings and situations, people freely praise their own "gods". At sporting events, secular concerts, and in worshipping false gods, people manifest almost the most natural ways of expressing their adoration. Piero Huerto Gago {unsplash.com} In the world, worship often does not need to be taught. It comes from the heart, but it is not directed at God at all... In the world we also give money for the benefit of our false idols, but our churches are barely supported. In our church communities we sing out...

to stick with the promises

Image
Colonel, is it allowed to stick with these promises, to be so insistent on these? Isn't this blackmail? As far as I am concerned, the Word of God is the Word of God. I have no regard for myself or my faith, or my unbelief, or my doubts, Or the need of others, difficulties of others, only one thing is important: to persevere, with great earnestness and firm trust in God, standing on the promises of God, as it is written. How many times have I laid my hands on a promise: Isa. 53:5, or Luk.4:18-21, or Mark 16:18 with these words: Here it is written! Thank you for your healing by your wounds! This also applies to X, and I m not leaving from you. I just give thanks, thank You, simply thank You! One night, before falling asleep, I opened the Bible at Is. 53:5. I prayed and I said thank you for this promise, a promise with regard to a patient! "My Saviour, this is applies to her /valid, also for this poor woman!" With that I fell asleep....

Ráállni az ígéretekre

Image
- Ezredes, szabad ennyire ráállni ezekre az ígéretekre? Nem zsarolás ez? - Részemről Isten Szava az Isten Szava. Én nem vagyok tekintettel sem magamra, sem a hitemre, vagy hitetlenségemre, sem mások szükségére, kétkedésére, nehézségeire, csak egy a fontos: Ráállni, igen komolyan és szilárd bizalommal Isten ígéreteire, úgy, ahogy írva van. Hányszor helyeztem kezeimet egy ígéretre. Pl. Ézs. 53:5, vagy Luk. 4:18-21, vagy Márk 16:18-ra ezekkel a szavakkal: - Üdvözítőm! Itt az van írva! Köszönöm Neked a sebeid által való gyógyulást. Ez érvényes X-re is, én nem távozom el Tőled, köszönöm, köszönöm, egyszerűen köszönöm Neked! Egy este, elalvás előtt még felnyitottam a Bibliát az Ézs.53:5-nél. Imádkoztam és köszönetet mondtam ezért az ígéretért, egy betegre való tekintettel: - Üdvözítőm, ez erre a szegény asszonyra is vonatkozik! Ezzel elaludtam. Midőn felébredtem, a lap az Ézs.53:5-tel a kezemhez volt ragadva és nehéz volt eltávolítani onnan. Ó, mennyi...

Aferrarse a estas promesas

Image
Coronel, ¿se le permite aferrarse a estas promesas, ser tan insistente en ellas? ¿No es esto chantaje? En lo que a mí respecta, la Palabra de Dios es la Palabra de Dios. No tengo ninguna consideración por mí o mi fe, o mi incredulidad, o mis dudás, o la necesidad de otros, las dificultades de los demás, sólo una cosa es importante: perseverar, con gran seriedad y firme confianza en Dios, apoyándome en las promesas de Dios, como está escrito. Cuántas veces me he apoyado en una promesa: Isa.53:5, o Luk.4:18-21, o Marcos 16:18 con estas palabras. ¡Aquí está escrito! ¡Gracias por tu curación por tus heridas! Esto también se aplica a X, y no me alejo de ti. Sólo doy gracias, gracias, ¡simplemente gracias! Una noche, antes de dormirme, abrí la Biblia en Is.53:5. Oré y dije gracias por esta promesa. Recé y di gracias por esta promesa, una promesa ¡con respecto a un paciente! "¡Salvador mío, esto se aplica/es válido, también para esta pobre mujer!...

A sötét völgyön át

Image
A Jézus Véréért való dicséret és köszönet, az Ő Szent Vérének győzelme , ezek voltak a legerősebb "gyógyszereim". Enélkül a titok nélkül nem jutottam volna túl a fájdalmaimon. Arra is rá kell mutatnom, hogy nem elégséges az, ha csak gyorsan, pár perc alatt mondunk dicséretet és köszönetet. Előfordult, hogy az éjszakában két-három órán át dicsértem és hálát adtam és dicsőítettem Jézus Vérének erejét, amíg a fájdalmak és szorongások el nem múltak. Ez mérvadó másfajta kísértésekkel szemben is. Az ellenség gyűlöl minden dicsőítést és hálaadást. Igen, mert ezek őt valóságosan elűzik. A Zsolt.50,23. valóság: "Aki hálával áldozik, az dicsőít engem, és aki az útra vigyáz, annak mutatom meg Isten szabadításat. Ez volt az én egyik legkedvesebb zsoltárom és igazságát gyakran átéltem. Ó, ha ezt többször vennék igénybe a keresztények akkor másképp állna sokak sorsa! Emil Nigg Életrajz és cikkek A teljes életrajzi könyv ingyenesen letölthető itt, magy...

Through the Dark Valley

Image
The Praise and Thanksgiving For the Blood of Jesus, the worship for His Holy Blood, these were the most powerful "medicine" of mine. Without this secret, I would not have gotten over my pain. I must also point out that it is not enough, if we just say thanks quickly, in just a few minutes. It has happened that I praised and thanked him for two or three hours in the night, praising and giving thanks to the power of Jesus' blood until the pain and anxiety had passed. It is also significant in other kinds of temptations. The enemy hates all praise and thanksgiving. Yes, because they actually drive him away. Psalm 50:23 is a reality: The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies Me; to one who orders his way rightly I will show the salvation of God!” This was one of my favourite psalms. and I have often experienced its truth. Oh, if only Christians would use it more! The fate of many would be different.. Emil Nigg Nigg articles ...

From anxiety to thanksgiving

We are invited to replace anxiety with prayer and Thanksgiving. But let prayer be focused on God & His grace and faithfulness otherwise prayer itself becomes worrying out loud. Moving from anxiety to peace comes from a true meeting with God. Terry Virgo

A priestly manner, Christian character– worthy of the gospel of Christ

Image
Manner & Character worthy of the gospel of Christ ... he had to become like his brothers and sisters in every respect, so that he might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in the service of God, to make a sacrifice of atonement for the sins of the people. Because he himself was tested by what he suffered, he is able to help those who are being tested. Heb 2:17 Christ did not glorify himself in becoming a High Priest, but was appointed by the one who said to him, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”; as he says also in another place, “You are a Priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek ”. Heb 5:5 In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. Heb 5:7 ...you are a chosen race, a Royal Priesthood, a holy nati...

Lift a Banner in the Land!

Image
by Doreen Kellogg ..many congregations have decided to add a banner or two to their sanctuary. But often they haven't really thought through the purpose and meaning of those banners. Do banners add to worship, inspiring worshipers to reflect on who they are as children of God and what kind of God we are called to serve? Or are they merely decorations to brighten up a dull or plain space? Many people are surprised to discover that banners are not a twentieth-century invention; in fact, they are mentioned repeatedly in Scripture. A closer look at how God's Old and New Testament people used banners can help us understand how we can make them a meaningful part of our gathering and worshiping today.

Scriptures about Adoration and Magnifying the Lord

Image
1. Psalm 22:3 - „Yet You are holy, O You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel." The Lord sits enthroned on our praises! As we come into agreement with His Kingship, we release His power and authority in the earth realm! He has given authority of the earth to the sons of man, and we have the great privilege to usher in His dominion through our worship and agreement with Him. 2. Psalm 69:30-31 „I will praise the name of God with song and magnify Him with thanksgiving. And it will please the LORD better than an ox or a young bull with horns and hoofs” .  God desires our affection first and foremost, the first commandment is to love the Lord our God with all of our heart, mind, soul and strength! This is more important than our sacrifices or what we can do for Him. He is after our love! 3. Revelation 7:12 „Amen, blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might, {be} to our God forever and ever. Amen.” Adoration is the pattern we see in heaven! The L...
