Think on this: “For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus the Messiah.” .
Pray this: We know, our Father, there are certain events that must take place before the Messiah comes. We beseech you to accelerate the time-table of those events — fast forward them, that we may experience the only real and true peace — the peace that comes from the Prince of Peace. Amen.
Psalm 83, among others in Torah, is my daily prayer and it should be the daily prayer for ALL Bible believers for these last days. Having heard, however, that to do such a thing is to “repeat prayers over and over like the heathens do; for they think that God will hear for their much speaking”.
Well; the heathen prays a man-formulated set of prayers that usually coincide with a set of beads, each of which represents a prayer subject, (I Know, for I’ve been there, [I’ve studied the enemy’s ways, said its prayers, [just so as to get to know the enemy and thus be able to fight it on its own turf with God’s Word]]). By praying under the guidance of man’s compositions; we’d be showing that God’s Holy Word does not have the same adequacies as that of man’s, it is therefore a direct showing of contempt and total disrespect to YHWH and His Word, it is babyl in first degree. It is also like a woman saying to YHWH “I hate the way you’ve made me so I’ll fix your blunders with Max Factor”.
Praying God’s Word on the other hand serves a number of objectives, 1. it is praying the way Yeshua taught us to pray, (not line for line like the religious do), but within the guidelines He has formulated, always beginning with recognising the fact that we are bowing and praying to the supreme Creator and knowing His address of eternity, omnipresence and that He is enthroned in the midst of the praises of His Saints, then worship accordingly, 2. it is a showing of respect for the Word which YHWH has written and spoken, 3. it is showing our humility to YHWH in the realisation that “we do not know how to pray as we ought”, thus besides praying His Word, (in truth), and praying in unknown languages, (in Spirit), which is in fact praying His Word in the language of the angels, we are praying with yet untapped power and authority in heavenly places, 4. God promised “to watch over His Word that goeth forth out of His mouth only, (nobody else;s word): it shall not return unto Him void, but it shall accomplish that which YHWH pleases, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto He sent it, 5. it is showing faith in the fact that “this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him”, 6. it is showing that we are totally dependent upon YHWH for our existence, and 7. it is showing that we are never able to govern ourselves, though he has given us an opportunity in trying, we have failed miserably so far.
Psalm 83 is preceded by YHWH’s Enthronement in praises of worshippers, prayed in the faith of Messiah, expecting the outcome of the 16th verse; “Fill their faces with shame; that they may SEEK THY NAME, O LORD GOD” and eventually come to the glorious verses of Yisheyah 19;21-25 [21] And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD In that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and perform it.
[22] And the LORD shall smite Egypt: He shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the LORD, and He shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them. [23] In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.
[24] In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: [25] Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.
