1 Samuel 2:7-10 ~ The Lord's

Prayer. This is How I Fight Battles.

The Lord makes poor and makes rich;

he brings low and he exalts.

He raises up the poor from the dust;

he lifts the needy from the ash heap

to make them sit with princes

and inherit a seat of honor.

For the pillars of the earth are the Lord's,

and on them he has set the world.

“He will guard the feet of his faithful ones,

but the wicked shall be cut off in darkness,

for not by might 
shall a man prevail.

The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces;

against them he will thunder in heaven.

The Lord will judge the ends of the earth;

he will give strength to his king

and 
exalt the horn of his anointed.”

Who has said this in God's Word :

God Himself. The earth is the Lord's and the Fullness Thereof. Genesis to Revelation.

Mary's Song. Mary, Mother of God.

And this portion carrying us from  Let us Have Light to the Light of Jesus Christ in Revelation.

These Verses are from Hannah. Struggling with having meaning in life. Struggling with her heart to fulfill her God given purpose. Struggling to ask our Father for answered prayer in despair. Hannah had great despair and felt the world was empty.

1 Samuel 2:7-10

Hannah found the Good Portion. Jesus Christ.

Psalm 24

The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.


Surrounded (Fight My Battles)
Michael W. Smith

That's how we fight our battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
(Praise and worship)
This is how I fight my battles
This is what we doing tonight
It may look like I'm surrounded
But I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded
But I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded
But I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded
But I'm surrounded by You
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
It may look like I'm surrounded
But I'm surrounded by You!

We are all experiencing turbulence. This week, I've had a phone call. My Brother and his wife and children live in El Paso. Then a text. And a group message sent saying Market Volatility with the word 'war'. And an email for powerful prayer. This is an unusual week. I'm within days of recently having wind sheer in our backyard - I thought would bring down the house. In the middle of no rain. And within 8 feet of an entirely dead tree that didn't even bring down a branch. Yes, the rain happened quickly.


Yesterday, my family was listening to a Podcast talking about, "Hate." When we turn on the national broadcasts, we hear the word, "Hate" over and over and over. The accusations are wild. Exaggeration is an understatement in the Political part and parcel. Outrageous. The other word is 'killed'. Violence. Failed Duty. Inaccuracies. This could only be regarded as Manipulation. Man - i - pu - you - lation. The word Crisis is used in this fest.


Be aware of repeat words. Be in Prayer. Reject inaccuracies. Fight our Battles with God Himself in Prayer. Go to Jesus Christ with any and all fears. The Disciples felt afraid and Jesus loves His Beloved.

Now, Feel His Name. Jesus. Apply Prayer. This is where all Battles are Won.

We are anointed in the New Covenant by Jesus Christ for God's Plan.

We have only to ask Jesus to live in us, forever. God of Love. God of Encouragement.

God tells us of His Hope and Good Future. And God Himself has told us what to do in troubled times. To push down fear. To overcome.

Psalm 23

A Psalm of David.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures.

He leads me beside still waters.

He restores my soul.

He leads me in paths of righteousness

for his name's sake.

 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil,

for You are with me;

your rod and your staff,

they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me

in the presence of my enemies;

you anoint my head with oil;

my cup overflows.

 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

all the days of my life

and
I shall dwell in the house of the Lord

forever.

Father God help us to hold on to You, giving us Jesus Christ. Jesus, the Rock of our foundation. Know the Scriptures, know the Power of God. Amen.

Who has said this in God's Word:

God Himself. The earth is the Lord's and the Fullness Thereof. Genesis to Revelation.

 Psalm 24

The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof,

the world and those who dwell therein,

2 for he has founded it upon the seas

and established it upon the rivers.

3 Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?

And who shall stand in his holy place?

4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,

who does not lift up his soul to what is false

and does not swear deceitfully.

5 He will receive blessing from the Lord

and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,

who seek the face of the God of Jacob. Selah

7 Lift up your heads, O gates!

And be lifted up, O ancient doors,

that the King of glory may come in.

8 Who is this King of glory?

The Lord, strong and mighty,

the Lord, mighty in battle!

9 Lift up your heads, O gates!

And lift them up, O ancient doors,

that the King of glory may come in.

10 Who is this King of glory?

The Lord of hosts,

he is the King of glory! 
Selah

Mary's Song. Mary, Mother of God. She speaks of the feeling of life being overwhelming and she knows where she will turn.

Luke 1

“My soul glorifies the Lord

and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,

48 for he has been mindful

of the humble state of his servant.

From now on all generations will call me blessed,

For the Mighty One has done great things for me—

Holy is his name.

His mercy extends 
to those who fear him,

from generation to generation.

51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;

he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.

 He has brought down rulers from their thrones

but has lifted up the humble.

53 He has filled the hungry with good things

but has sent the rich away empty.

 He has helped his servant Israel,

remembering to be merciful

to Abraham and his descendants 
forever,

just as he promised our ancestors.”

And this portion carrying us from Let us Have Light to the Light of Jesus Christ in Revelation.

1 John 5:4

For everyone 

who has been born of God 

overcomes the world.

And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

1 John 5:5 

Who is it that overcomes the world

 except the one 

who believes that 

Jesus is the Son of God?

These Verses are from Hannah. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

1 Samuel 2:1-10

2 Then Hannah prayed and said:

“My heart rejoices in the Lord;

in the Lord my horn is lifted high.

My mouth boasts over my enemies,

for I delight in your deliverance.

2 “There is no one holy like the Lord;

there is no one besides you;

there is no Rock like our God."

Abba,

Psalm 56:3

When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.

In Jesus Christ we will know God is Love. God is Encouragement.

In Jesus Christ, You, our Father God, we will know the Scriptures and the Power of God.

Amen.
