Captives of the Righteous Delivered

Isaiah 49:24, 25
24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, Or the captives of the righteous be delivered?
25 But thus says the LORD: "Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, And the prey of the terrible be delivered; For I will contend with him who contends with you, And I will save your children.

The picture that comes to mind when I read this passage is that of a preditor, as in a hawk or eagle with a small creature securely in its talons, for it's next meal for she and her young.

If you or I were to attempt to remove that creature from the tight grasp, we'd rip the critter to shreds...killing it in our attempts.

God said here that the captive of the mighty will be taken away....and that's something that ONLY HE CAN DO, to retrieve us or our loved ones from the grasp of satan. He said the prey of the terrible would be delivered.
For I will contend with him who contends with you AND I WILL SAVE YOUR CHILDREN! HALLELUJAH!

God gives such GREAT promise there.

Psalm 124:6
6 Blessed be the LORD, Who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

Father, THANK YOU for HELPING US! You've given great promise of deliverance when we need it. Thank You for being true to your Word and that we can trust You to deliver us and our loved ones from evil. You WILL save our children, in Jesus' Name.

Lovely Feet Bringing Good News!

Isaiah 52:7
How beautiful upon the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who proclaims peace, Who brings glad tidings of good things, Who proclaims salvation, Who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"

Have been meditating on this Scripture.
Know anyone that is facing a mountain in their lives? Take the good news of the Word of God and bring down everything that would exalt itself against the knowledge of God's Word.

Salvation is not just our ticket out of hell...it's complete provision for our spirit soul and body. We're to proclaim slavation from sickness, poverty, disease, lack of any kind, torment, confusion, fear, dread, opression, languishing, bondage of every kind. The New Covenant that Jesus purchased FOR US, is all inclusive.

See a mountain? Bring the Word of God into place and set the captive free...with the Name of Jesus, His Blood, the finished work of Jesus, His Word. SHOW that our God truly Reigns.

Father, thank You for Your Word. Jesus, thank You for your obedience even unto Your own death. Father, I ask You to help us to be Your hands, Your ears, Your mouthpiece and Your feet. Help us to be moved by Your compassion with every Divine Appointment that You bring our way. Help us to move swiftly and in the confidence of Your Word to set the captive free every day of our lives. In Jesus' Name.

Rivers of Living Water

The Lord sent His Word and healed and delivered me from all destruction. I serve the Lord and He blessed my food and drink and He takes away sickness from me and my family. He heals all our diseases.
Psalm 107:20
Exodus 23:25
Psalm 103:3b

The Spirit of Him that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in me; therefore He that raised up Christ from the dead has quickened my mortal body, making it immune to every sickness and disease.
Romans 8:11

All of my needs are met in Christ Jesus for my God supplies all my needs according to His riches in glory. Christ has redeemed me from the curse of poverty, sickness and spiritual death, and because I am the seed of Abraham, blessing He will bless me and multiplying He will multiply me. I receive the bountifulness of God to me today.
Philipians 4:19
Galatians 3:13
Hebrews 6:14

Don't you just LOVE God's Word? It's full of LIFE and POWER and is always doing what it's been sent to do. God also said that the effectual fervant prayer of the righteous avails MUCH. Thank God! When we pray God's Word it will always make a difference in our lives.

Father, thank YOU for the gift of Your Word, the Bible. Thank You that it is alive and active and powerful - producing everything that You sent it to do. Thank You that You have let us know that the SAME Word that You created the heavens and the Earth with will also create what we need created and change what we need changed. HELP US to be FULL of Your Word, so that we will have Rivers of Living Water to share wherever we are. Thank You Jesus for bringing to us the GREAT covenant that enables us to be part of Your life, being JOINT HEIRS with You. HELP US to get IN and stay IN YOU, In Jesus' Name.

Our Children are the Heritage of the Lord

Our children are a heritage of the Lord. If satan tries to lead them "south" in their faith, our faith - away from a walk with God, and need to be brought INTO a walk with God, the ONLY thing that will make things different is the power of God's Word.

What I decree is God's Word over my children and grandchildren, and these are only a few passages that is available for us to make use of to use in prayer.

They are delivered out of darkness, by God's mighty hand, into the marvelous light of the Lord, completely whole, spirit, soul and body, with their feet upon the Highway of Holiness, walking in the plans that God has for them for all of their days, in Jesus' Name.

In Ezekiel 37 it's the account of the Lord telling Ezekiel to speak to the dry bones scattered all across the valley.
Ezekiel prophesied God's Word to them and they rose up and became a mighty army.
What we do is take God's Word and prophesy them over our people, our family, and our children and it alone will make THE difference in their lives.

She Made It On The Page....

Remember the account of Rahab in the book of Joshua?
Joshua sent out a couple of spies, to go secretly look over the land, particularly the city of Jericho.
The fellows came to the home of a harlot named Rahab, and lodged there.
When the king of Jericho announced that there were Israelites in their city that were searching out the countryside, he sent some folk to Rahabs house to call the men out.
She had already taken the men to the roof of her house to hide them. Rahab told the soldiers that the men were not in her house.

After the soldiers left she went to the roof to tell the men:
Joshua 2:8-13
8 Now before they lay down, she came up to them on the roof,
9 and said to the men: "I know that the LORD has given you the land, that the terror of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land are fainthearted because of you.
10 For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were on the other side of the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.
11 And as soon as we heard these things, our hearts melted; neither did there remain any more courage in anyone because of you, for the LORD your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth beneath.
12 Now therefore, I beg you, swear to me by the LORD, since I have shown you kindness, that you also will show kindness to my father's house, and give me a true token,
13 and spare my father, my mother, my brothers, my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death."

Then in vs. 14 the fellows said:
14 So the men answered her, "Our lives for yours, if none of you tell this business of ours. And it shall be, when the LORD has given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you."

So, you know how the account goes. She was given instruction to let down a red cord down out of her window....and after the 7th trip around Jericho, the Isralites blew the trumpets and shouted a great shout and the walls came down...ALL EXCEPT RAHABS HOME ON TOP OF THE WALL. The Israelites were given instruction about Rahab and her family...they were all SAVED.

This girl had the guts to take hold of FAITH, and DO what she was instructed to do, and BELIEVED.

This girl Made It On The Page....she was the great grandmother of King David. Her faith was honored by God, and He even included her in the lineage of Jesus.

Rahab even made it in the "Hall of Fame of those of Faith" in Hebrews 11:30-31
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days.
31 By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace.

That girl had NOTHING - no foundational teaching, she had nobody to expound the Word of God to her, and was not raised up in the Hebrew faith. She took the word of promise from a couple of spies because the Isralites had a reputation of being taken care of by their God. SHE WANTED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY GOD. She was. She had nothing but the desire in her own heart.

Here we are, most of us,
1. Have the Blood of Jesus
2. Have the Name of Jesus
3. Have the Word of God
4. Have the Holy Spirit
5. Have the armor of God

We have been well equipped, and we need to see the same overcoming victory.
I WANT TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY GOD TOO! LOL
I receive the finished work of Jesus.
I thank God that He's made His Word easy to receive.
I receive ALL OF IT, for ALL of my life. LOL

And I will TELL EVERYONE I KNOW about How HE BROUGHT ME OUT of every snare of the devil.

Hallelujah!!!!!

Father, THANK YOU for HELPING US to hear and quickly receiving your Word. Thank You for showing Yourself strong on our behalf, and that You are FAITHFUL to all of Your Word, and provision for us. I give you PRAISE and THANKSGIVING, in Jesus' Name.
