We have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus.    – Hebrews 10:19

Bart Millard’s hit song “I Can Only Imagine” describes how awesome and overwhelming it will be in God’s presence. Yet, that is exactly where a believer goes in prayer. Today’s verse reminds you that, in Christ, you can enter the holy place. What a privilege each believer has when they belong to Him!  

Why would any believer not accept and use this precious gift? Some believers are so busy that they may think they do not have the time to pray. Others might think, God knows what I am going to ask, so why ask it? Or, the Lord is sovereign and going to do what He wants whether I pray or not. Some people may doubt that the Lord is listening when they pray. Christians may often grapple with thoughts like these.  

Remember the apostle Peter’s words, “The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer” (1 Peter 3:12). Jesus promises, “If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it” (John 14:14). In the Lord’s prayer, Jesus instructs His disciples to ask for their needs to be met and for the Father’s will to be done on Earth (Matthew 6:9-13), which implies that some things within God’s plan may not happen unless you ask.  

Everyone fills the allotted twenty-four hours in their day with what is important to them. You need God’s help all the more if your life is busy. Go to the One who is most worthy of your time and is able to give you the answers you need. Ask Him to help you be faithful in prayer. Be confident that He hears you when you ask for mercy, grace, and help for this nation (Hebrews 4:16).

PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD

Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.

I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.

Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.

With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.

Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me. 

Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

Our Father, Who art in heaven, 
Hallowed be Thy Name. 
Thy Kingdom come. 
Thy Will be done, 
on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread. 
And forgive us our trespasses, 
as we forgive those who trespass against us. 
And lead us not into temptation, 
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

‎7/‎19/‎2023 – Let us therefore fear

Luke 12:5 “But I will forewarn you whom you shall fear: Fear Him, which after He has killed has power to cast into hell; solemnly assured, I say to you, Fear Him.”

Hebrews 4:1 “Let us therefore fear, that not, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.”

Hebrews 11:7 “By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.”

What makes us cry to God for forgiveness and salvation, and come to Jesus? Conviction and fear! Fear of God, fear of dying and going to hell, fear of being hopelessly and forever abandoned and forgotten by God. How is it then, with so many innumerable multitudes of people; and many of them who thought they were Christians, but were actually misled into a spurious experience, and never were really born again, nor had the Holy Spirit; how is it, that so many Bible preachers and teachers are so against talking about the fear of God? But what does the Bible say about the fear of God? The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, the beginning of wisdom. Who shall not fear Thee O Lord, and glorify Thy Name? 

When God told Noah that the end of all flesh was come before Him; because all flesh had corrupted His way upon the earth, and every thought and imagination of their hearts was only evil every day, and the earth was filled with violence; Noah was afraid, so that all which God told him to do, he moved with fear and did. And this wasn’t an emotional or fleshy display, that came for a little while, and then the feelings faded; but he was one hundred years building the ark: Noah was perfect with the LORD all his days; and Noah walked with God. He knew that the LORD waited for him to finish the building of the ark; but that did not mean he had time to squander. It was a time for being steadfast; and his fear of God was the strength and power of his perseverance every day.

The children of Israel in the wilderness; even though they had seen all of God’s mighty works of power, and all His signs and wonders and miracles, in Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness; yet they believed not on Him, and rejected His fear, out of their stubbornness and rebellion to God ruling over them. So they who were once saved, were afterwards destroyed, and did not receive the promised inheritance; but were rejected; because they feared not God. Oh sure, they were afraid when the were being punished for their wickedness and rebellion and murmuring; but it was not a fear that induced them to repentance, but a fear of being punished only.

When we think about all the multitudes of faithful witnesses of Jesus who have been betrayed and compelled to suffer the cruelest mockings and tortures and violent deaths; the normal reaction is to freeze up in fear, and never want anyone to ever talk about those things. But Jesus said, that we should not be afraid of them, who can only kill our bodies, and after that have no more that they can do to us. So we have to have strong faith; faith which only comes by the word of God. So if we are at best only lukewarm about reading God’s word; and really hardly think about or remember Scripture during the day, in all the times we need to be thinking about it, to know what we should do, and how we should respond to situations: how can we honestly believe or expect, that we shall overcome, when the seriously hard tribulation of the end times has to be confronted?

Isaiah 29:11-14 “And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: and the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. Wherefore the LORD said, Forasmuch as this people draw near Me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor Me, but have removed their heart far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the precept of men: therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.”

Proverbs 2:3-6 “Yea, if you cry after knowledge, and lift up your voice for understanding; if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hid treasures; then shall you understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD gives wisdom: out of His mouth comes knowledge and understanding.”

PRAYER TO CALL THE ANGELS

By the Power of the Holy Spirit in me, I command Angels of all ranks and divisions to come to my aid – Comfort Angels – Repair Angels – Connective Angels – Reasoning Angels – Calming Angels – Peace Angels – Faith Angels – and Warring Angels.

Angelic Hierarchy
Angelic Hierarchy according to St. Thomas Aquinas:

Seraphim 
Cherubim
Thrones

Dominions
Virtues
Powers

Principalities
Archangels
Angels

[I]t was shown above (Summa Theologiae I-I q55, a3), in treating of the angelic knowledge, that the superior angels have a more universal knowledge of the truth than the inferior angels. This universal knowledge has three grades among the angels. For the types of things, concerning which the angels are enlightened, can be considered in a threefold manner. First as preceding from God as the first universal principle, which mode of knowledge belongs to the first hierarchy, connected immediately with God, and, “as it were, placed in the vestibule of God,” as Dionysius [the Areopagite] says (Coel. Hier. vii). Secondly, forasmuch as these types depend on the universal created causes which in some way are already multiplied; which mode belongs to the second hierarchy. Thirdly, forasmuch as these types are applied to particular things as depending on their causes; which mode belongs to the lowest hierarchy. [ST I-I q108, a1]
Thus does St. Thomas speak of the three-fold division of the angelic hierarchy into three hierarchies, each with three choirs of angels. In the highest hierarchy (Seraphim, Cherubim, and Thrones) the Divine Ideas take on their most universal character. Oriented immediately to God these choirs of pure spirits understand in the broadest, most general, way the knowledge committed to them by God. As the Eternal Word is the uncreated undivided Image of the Father, these angels possess the most simple, and therefore most profound, understanding of that Word, in whose image all created realities were made (Col. 1:15-17). 
In the second hierarchy (Dominions, Virtues and Powers) the Divine ideas begin to be multiplied, so as to have effect in the created universe. For St. Thomas God, the First Cause, brings about His plan for creation, except for those matters which require the divine power – such as creating out of nothing, through the secondary causation of the angels. Thus, we can say that the Divine Idea of creation and its laws, which in God is one and simple in the Eternal Word, becomes more specific and suited to material reality as it proceeds down through the angelic hierarchy. 
Finally, the lowest hierarchy (Principalities, Archangels and Angels) understands the knowledge communicated from the higher choirs as it relates to particular realities and serves to effect in creation the will of God, such as the laws of nature, and the guardianship of societies and individuals.
Archangels
St. Michael, St. Gabriel, St. Raphael (and Companions)
Sacred Scripture provides us with the names of three of the Archangels. 
Then war broke out in heaven; Michaeland his angels battled against the dragon. The dragon and its angels fought back (Rev. 12:7) [cf. Daniel 10:13, 21; 12:1; Jude 1:9]
Michael is Hebrew for Who is Like God
In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary. (Luke 1:26-27) [cf. Daniel 8:16, 9:21; Luke 1:19]
Gabriel is Hebrew for Man of God, often rendered Strength of God
I am Raphael, one of the seven angels who enter and serve before the Glory of the Lord.” (Tobit 12:15; cf. Tobit all]
Raphael is Hebrew for God heals
From Tobit 12:15 the Church has deduced that there are seven archangels in all. Although various ecclesiastical traditions ascribe names to the remaining four, at places such as Polermo in Sicily and St. Michael’s Shrine in Tlaxcala, Mexico, these names vary from place to place and are not accepted by the Church for purposes of veneration by Catholics. Veneration of the Seven Archangels is permitted, however, and in Rome’s Basilica of Our Lady of the Angels and the Jesuit church Gesu there are chapels dedicated to the 7 archangels.
The Archangels, according to Dionysius (Coel. Hier. ix), are between the Principalities and the Angels. A medium compared to one extreme seems like the other, as participating in the nature of both extremes; thus tepid seems cold compared to hot, and hot compared to cold. So the Archangels are called the “angel princes”; forasmuch as they are princes as regards the Angels, and angels as regards the Principalities. But according to Gregory (Hom. xxiv in Ev.) they are called Archangels, because they preside over the one order of the Angels; as it were, announcing greater things: and the Principalities are so called as presiding over all the heavenly “virtues” [spiritual powers, in a general sense] who fulfill the Divine commands. [ST q105, a5]
St. Thomas tells us that the Archangels bear the greatest messages of God to man. They are the chief messengers (arch-aggelos); ruling, as well, over the lesser messengers, or angels, as their chiefs. It is from this latter choir that St. Thomas asserts that the Guardian Angels of individuals are taken.
