God is Your Help

Greetings in the Lord! Well, true to form, the word at the beginning of the month of pushing through fatigue and "drought" and of overcoming unprovoked attacks from spiritual Amalekites has been happening.  Now is the time of gathering together as believers and petitioning God to move on our behalves.  Do not underestimate the power of prayer, my friends!  God loves a humble heart, unity among His people, and most of all in times of persecution, praying for your enemies.  Pray that the power of the devil be broken off those held captive by his lies of hate, violence, and false ideas.  God is birthing something wonderful in the nations these days; let's not get off track by the attacks of spiritual Amalekites.  Continue to push on through this season, my beloveds.  Set your face like flint and pursue the higher path laid out for us by God: love, mercy, speaking the truth, long-suffering, and being a peace-maker.  There are untold of blessings for those who remain in God

Push, Push, Push on Through!

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word comes from Exodus 17 and highlights a couple of teaching points for us to remember in this current season of pushing through.  "Pushing through?" you ask.  Yes, we are in a birthing season, similar to what we read about in John 16:20-22, where God is bringing to fulfillment many promises to people and nations--this season.  When you read the news and see agitating events taking place--wars, upheavals, new leaders in office and the like, you should understand and discern that birthing pains are happening all around us.  And yet, as Exodus 17 shows us, we can often feel like we've been stranded and forgotten in a desert.  "What is this 'freedom' we have?  We are wandering, thirsty and hungry in a desert!"  Ah, but God is birthing a nation (s)! Nevertheless, the complaints of the Israelites against Moses were like complaining against God...and not a good idea.  Why would you vex the only One who can save you?  In
