16th Tevet Thursday 31st December Showers Of Blessing I Will Rise Hebrews 3 v7:11 Worthy, worthy, worthy is the Lord God Almighty. Who was, and is, and is to come. Such are the words of proclamation spoken by the angels that surround Your throne, Lord of Lords and King of Kings. All of our life here is vanity when compared to the simple truth and glory of Heaven. Yet You have called us to repentance, You have opened the Way that all who should hear Your voice, turn from their sin and acknowledge Jesus as Lord can be saved, healed, restored, comforted, rested and forgiven. Who are we that You are mindful of us? Who are You that You have a regard for what You have created? El Shaddai, Adonai, Mighty God, we thank You and give worship to You today, in Jesus's mighty name. Amen. 15th Tevet Wednesday 30th December Cry Holy Who Am I? Colossians 2 v16:23, 3 v1:17 God Almighty, Yeshua, God's own Son, we address You in fear and trembling, in honour and praise. We understand the barest of the things that You have accomplished, and understand even less of the things that You will do. Yet, Lord, as we open Your word and walk in Your world, we begin to get a sense of Your direction, and Your unerring infallibility. You are the God of. 'Yes!' and 'Amen!' You will accomplish all that You have set out to achieve. We are to keep our eyes and hearts set on You, we are not to deviate from the left or to the right. You will go before us, and behind us, to the left of us and to the right of us, You are Jehovah Nissi, God our banner. You will do this for Your glory and Your name's sake. Glory hallelujah! Amen! https://youtube.com/watch?v=ca2mXA7kdVc 14th Tevet Tuesday 29th December I Will Run To You All Things Bright And Beautiful Psalm 50 v 1:4 You will be praised, High King of Heaven. Your name will be exalted, the name of Yeshua, Jesus, the Name Above All Names. O Lord, let us join with Your heavenly host today, in praising You, for who You are, for what You have been doing, for what You will do. Holy God, Lord and Father, You will be praised! Hosanna! Hosanna! You are worthy of all praise. So, let us praise You, for Your glory, amen. ​ 13th Tevet Monday 28th December In Christ Alone You Are Worthy Of My Praise Job 8 v19:22 You have done so much, Lord. You are trustworthy in word, deed and character, You have promised never to leave us or forsake us. With these words of confidence let us step forward into each new day with a zest for life and a zeal for Your word. Let us open books and watch videos, let us seek fellowship to discern, sing songs of praise and bury ourselves in Your message to Your children. Let us be as the prophet Jeremiah, that we learn and look to eat up Your words like the choicest of foods. You are the bread of Heaven, Yours is the honey from the rock, let us seek You and reach You, for Your glory alone. Amen. 12th Tevet Sunday 27th December Consuming Fire The Lord Reigns 1 Peter 1 v3:11 A testing in the fire, Lord, is not something we would readily ask for, yet, if we are aligned with You, we should not be burned and not even our clothes would smell of smoke. If we are not ready, Lord, then please reveal in us our weaknesses and hindrances, that we should not be overly pained in the cleansing. We will need strength and courage too, Lord, if we are to complete this task, and apologise wholeheartedly for asking for that which the saints and our Lord gave of so freely and readily. We know that it is called a trial for a reason, and we know the nature of this world and ourselves in this world can never expunge us to pass cleanly through the veil, so we thank You and look to You in hope for abundance, in Jesus's name and for Your glory in Heaven, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=0qn9F3HVgng 11th Tevet Saturday 26th December Arise! Spirit Break Out Exodus 20 v1:20 Our Father in Heaven, you laid out Your commandments for Your people. Your law is perfect, it converts the soul. We are now under grace, there is no condemnation in our weaknesses and inabilities, yet we know that Your law is still a reference for forming a better relationship with You. Not out of legalism or bondage, but out of love, the desire to please You and walk with You, to the best of our ability. Help us this day, and in this coming year, to walk more cleanly in Your way, to be more and more like Your Son, Jesus. To lift others, to show compassion, to point to the truth, to be vehicles, receptacles for Your Holy Spirit, that You may save people. We know that we err and cannot fulfil the law, that only Your perfect Son could do that, yet we seek to obtain communion as bondservants of the Living God. Oh Lord, reveal in us our shortcomings and thank You for the Holy Spirit's help in overcoming and our increasing surrender, in Jesus's name we pray, amen. 10th Tevet Friday 25th December Merry and blessed Christmas to all who seek and search for the glory of the Lord, from all at twooneone.org.

His Love See His Love O The Deep, Deep Love Of Jesus How He Loves Us Isaiah 9 v6:7 Matthew 1 v22:25 What love is this? With what shall we compare it to? You are the King of All Creation. You are the Maker, the Creator. You are the Author and Finisher of All Works. You were before the world was made. You will be after it has passed away. Mighty God, Jehovah, Yahweh, Adonai, El, we are humbled and amazed. We will never earn Your love, yet You have poured it out for us. You purposed Yourself to do this. You knew the price, and were prepared to pay it. Thank You, Lord, for Your grace and splendour. Thank You, Jesus, for Your love that is beyond what we could ever know. Thank You, Holy Spirit, for running through and in all things, giving us the victory today that was won on that cross over two thousand years ago. You are the Lord of Lords and King of Kings! You have made a way in the desert, You will make a way for Your children. Hosanna, to the Most High God.

Amen. Holy Lord and Heavenly Father, today we raise a prayer for all those women who are pregnant or have gone through childbirth. We know that there will be no raising of children in the life hereafter, and we know and You know the trial and suffering of delivery, spiritually and physically. Lord Jehovah, Mighty God, we pray a blessing of peace upon the heads and shoulders of Your daughters, and pray that we raise an acknowledgement, as Your children, towards them for their strength and courage in time of trial. Give them strength and courage to face the day, this one and the one to come, when the fruit of their labours may be brought out before them. Thank You, Lord for hearing our prayer, thank You, Lord for the miracle of birth. In Jesus's name we pray, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=PGTZq3uCPm0 9th Tevet Thursday 24th December Continuing the journey to the manger with extra praise and progression through the Book of Micah. Simple Gospel Word Of God Speak Micah 7 Even after all the warnings and all of the betrayal, yet You have a heart and mind that is for us and not against us, God of Israel. Though we cannot continue in them, You have offered to put our sins far away from us, that they be remembered no more. The God of Isaac and Jacob is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, and He has purposed Himself to redeem His people. In the promise of Your coming is the victory over sin and death, delivery to eternal life and a reconciliation and boundless walk with Jesus, God's own Son. On the eve of the global celebration of His birth, we ask, Lord, that You remind all people of Your will and purpose, and continue to open the hearts and minds of those who would receive You, through the ministry of Your saints and the power of Your Holy Spirit. We celebrate the coming of the Risen King, as we celebrate His first coming to earth as a humble carpenter's son, born in a stable and laid in a manger before Shepherds and Kings. All glory and honour to You, wise King of Heaven, all praise and supplication to You, Son of God, who is God. Hosanna! Hosanna! Amen! Good Good Father 8th Tevet Wednesday 23rd December Approaching Christmas, a journey through the Book of Micah Closer ​Your Presence is Heaven Micah 6 What a word against Your people, Lord, what a word that could be spoken against all of the people of the earth this day. As a world we have heard Your word, the name of Jesus, Your son, yet, as a world, we reject Your truth and way. Would we reject Your life also. to keep that which we believe to be ours? In truth, no good thing can come from ourselves, our hearts are corrupt, deceitful and wicked beyond measure. Lord of Lords and King of Kings, the only chance for life that we have is in repentance, in requesting of You the forgiveness of our sins. We cannot deserve or earn such a high honour, yet You are merciful and kind enough to have sent Your Son that we may have that second chance. Lord, let us honour and receive You this day and every day, as the earth received its true King around 2000 years ago. For Your name and glory, amen. ​Joy To The World 7th Tevet Tuesday 22nd December The Approach To Christmas an extra song each day and a journey through the Book of Micah My Lighthouse I Can Only Imagine Micah 5 More than just a message from the prophets, Mighty One of Israel, a declaration of Your intent for Your people and Your city. The coming of Your Son, the rising up and the tearing down. You have brought peace to the captives, yet on the outside there are still stormy seas. Holy and heavenly Father, You have sent us a bright light to steer by, we do not need any other. Your Son, Jesus, called Yeshua, has come to earth, lived a perfect life in humility and grace, then has borne the burden of our sins, that we might have the opportunity to come to You, to approach Your throne, to live in You and serve You as was Your plan from the beginning. Perfect relationship. Perfect peace. Today, Lord, as we come ever closer to the celebration of Your birthday, help us experience some of that peace, to seek and find the joy that is in our hearts, to know You more, You who is beyond our imagination. Amen. Hark! The Herald Angels Sing 6th Tevet Monday 21st December Praise the Lord! Another step closer to the celebration of the Coming of the King! In Christ Alone Glorious Day​ Micah 4 You have a plan, Lord. You have had one since before time began. You are not late or slow in its execution or completion, You will follow a straight path in the desert until it is done, You will achieve Your purpose, You will redeem Your children from this world. Heavenly Father, there is none before You, there is none like You. We thank You today for Your grace, Your excellence and purposefulness of movement. We cannot move like You, Lord, unless we are totally surrendered to You. Lift us, guide us, keep us, according to Your perfect will today, in Jesus's mighty, powerful and precious name, amen. Thy Will Be Done 5th Tevet Sunday 20th December Continuing the journey to the manger with extra praise and progression through the Book of Micah. Hosanna You Are Worthy of My Praise Micah 3 Thank You Lord for Your Bible. Your word and wisdom, inspired of thousands of years, now translated and available in the plainest of languages, that even the simplest of understanding can see and hear Your word clearly. Thank You for those who have carried this torch. What a day and age You have fashioned to do this. Yet, Lord, as our understanding grows and our ability to access Your word is made easier, we need to pray for wisdom to grow from this opportunity. For, as faith without works is dead, so there is no wisdom without understanding. Your written word is a light unto our path and a lamp unto our feet, more accessible to more people than ever before. Help us not miss out on this treasure, rather to embrace it, to speak from it and get lost in it, to be found in it, when You return, for Your glory and Your name's sake, the name of Jesus, our Messiah, in whose name we pray. Amen. ​Ancient Words 4th Tevet Saturday 19th December Approaching Christmas, a journey through the Book of Micah Showers Of Blessing O Holy Night Micah 2 O what words Your prophets left for Your people, Mighty God! The warnings are clear, and the promise almost too much to bear, a King to lead Your people, a triumph to go before them as a lamp and a flame of old. Let us heed Your words today, Lord, as the whole world reflects the uncertainty and captivity of Jerusalem in the days of Your coming to the earth. These words had been laid down centuries before, and told of the coming of the Romans as punishment for Israel's wickedness. Now the earth groans under the weight and burden of its curse, as people everywhere are called to repentance, offered the chance of salvation. Help us point to the One and Only Saviour, who is able to deliver us, spotless, to Your feet. Jesus, Yeshua, the Messiah, in whose name we pray, amen. Forever 3rd Tevet ​Friday 18th December The Approach To Christmas an extra song each day and a journey through the Book of Micah Victory Belongs To Jesus Great Are You Lord Micah 1 Great are You Lord. Great and Mighty. You are without equal in the heavens or the earth, there is none like You. Holy and heavenly Father, it is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the Living God, and we tremble at the thought of Your coming and finding us wanting, like a thief in the night. You see truly and clearly, Lord of Hosts, there is no place that You cannot see, no thought You cannot discern and weigh in the balance rightly. You have set Yourself to redeem Your people, and You will see it done. In the reading we see the consequence of ignorance yet take hope that the Lord who is a consuming fire is also the Lord who humbled Himself to a manger and the Cross for His name's sake. King of Heaven, today we bow down in reverence and fear, and acknowledge You for who You are, what You are doing and what You will do, in Jesus's mighty name. Amen. Great Is Thy Faithfulness 2nd Tevet Thursday 17th December Give Me Jesus Lord Of Patience John 3 v8:22 What we have is what we need to be changed. You have furnished us through Your grace and favour, Lord God Almighty, You have allowed the sacrifice of Your one and only Son as the necessary ransom and bounty for all wrongdoing. You have overcome sin and the grave. You have sent Your Holy Spirit, the Counsellor without equal, to comfort, guide, teach, lift, correct and rebuke us. Majesty of Heaven! What a blessed and unmerited gift! You ask no thing in return, we are free to make something of Your investment, or to walk away as new creations in a dark world. Lord, today we ask for more of Your Spirit, more of the things necessary to be more like Your Son, Jesus, Yeshua. We ask that You open our eyes to any and all things that we have yet to surrender, that we may continue in the task of working out our salvation with Your help, for Your glory alone. We ask and pray this in the precious name of Jesus, with thanksgiving and praise, amen. 1st Tevet Wednesday 16th December Lord Of All Hopefulness All Things Bright And Beautiful Psalm 19 A new month, Lord, and the traditional time to celebrate the coming of Your Son, Jesus, Yeshua, who was and is the Messiah. Pointed to by the prophets, heralded by angels, written in the stars and celebrated by shepherds and Wise Men from the East, it was a time of unprecedented change. Lord, as we enter this month, let us do so with songs of celebration, let us do so in peaceful meditation on Your coming and its impact upon the world, and let us reflect on how Your arrival on earth has influenced each and every one of us. Our prayer today, Lord, is that the message of Your Son's birth not be lost in the noise and clamour of Christmas, that the name of Jesus be spoken in every household, all across the world. Amen and glory, hallelujah, and amen! https://youtube.com/watch?v=UZalYpMWpRg 29th Kislev Tuesday 15th December Lord I Need You Here I Am To Worship Matthew 7 v6:13 The heavens declare the glory of our God. Oh, Lord, how wonderful Your mighty works, how splendid the gentlest of Your expressions. Lord, in seeing that You are everywhere, in all things and through all things, let us not forget to acknowledge You as Maker and Creator, as the One, True, Living God. Where we might put our faith in the things of Your creation, in the pantheons of powers, in the changing of days, in the physical manifestations of Your strength and splendour, help us, Lord, keep our hearts and eyes set on You. There is no other way, there is no other name under heaven by which we may be saved. Jesus, You are a light unto our path and a lamp unto our feet, we need You each and every day, for Your name's sake, for the Father's glory and the coming of Your Kingdom upon the earth. Amen. 28th Kislev Monday 14th December Overwhelmed Your Love Oh Lord 1 Samuel 2 v3:10 Almighty God, Holy One of Israel, how awesome are You? With what do we have to compare Your love? Nothing in all creation can match up to Your statutes and decrees, then surely nothing can equal Your splendour, candour and love. Mighty Jehovah, Maker of the Heavens and the Earth, who has held the dust of the earth in the palms of His hands, thank You for Your mercy, compassion, faithfulness, patience and love. Thank You for Your plan and promise of Salvation and Redemption. Who is like You, Lord, that You are mindful of us? Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=_1aXbClvsW0 27th Kislev Sunday 13th December Thy Lovingkindness Power In The Blood Jeremiah 25 v30:38 Oh Lord, You are the God that brings death and gives life, You are sovereign over our rising up and setting down. These things are rightfully Yours, these things remain in Your dominion alone. Today we howl as the shepherds, we cry out and petition for a wicked generation. We lay ourselves down at Your feet, pleased for You to do with us as You will, knowing that we are wholly deserving of the most gruesome of deaths. Your blood has been poured out to free us, as a world we stand in condemnation and rejection of You. Heaven help us to stand but do not tarry if our destruction is near. Our lives are in Your hands, Mighty God of Jacob, we surrender ourselves and wait upon Your word, in Jesus's mighty name, amen. ​https://youtube.com/watch?v=YlOJ5o8W4Lw 26th Kislev Saturday 12th December Agnus Dei Let Us Adore Luke 4 v15:23 Worthy Lord, King of Israel, whose throne is in the Most High Place, today we pray for the sick. From physical to mental to spiritual, from injury to disease, from stress related to self inflicted, all are part of disability. They detract from our walk, way and relationship with You. Lord, today we claim the truth that our home is in Heaven with You. As such, there is no place that our prayers for healing cannot reach in this world. In our home towns, the cities and in the country, let Your light shine and Your name be known. Jehovah Rophe, God our Healer. You set the captives free, Jesus, by the power of Your blood, heal, cleanse and release those today who have been sent to reveal Your goodness to all the earth. Let Your Holy Spirit stir in the world, in the lives of those we know and love who are suffering. You alone are able to give life, stir we pray today, for Your glory and the coming of Your Kingdom upon the earth. Amen. 25th Kislev Friday 11th December Ancient Of Days How Great Is Our God (International version) Philippians 4 v6:7 Awe inspiring, amazing, King of the Heavens, who has authority over all the earth. Your church covers the whole earth, there is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard. As You speak, Lord, galaxies are born. Everything that has breath was born to praise You. Let us join in with Your praises today, Lord. Not for self service or to make a show in the temple porches and gates, but to glorify and honour You, who is so deserving of so much more. None like You, none before You, Lord of Lords and King of Kings! Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=g6_BLuhr0HQ 24th Kislev Thursday 10th December Rise Up Jesucristo Basta Acts 6 v1:7 Appointed, called, gifted, set free. You have given us a place in space and time, Mighty God of Israel, Heavenly Father, Lord of Lords and King of Kings. There is no other power over You, You are the First and the Last, the Maker and Creator of the Heavens and the Earth. This day is filling with the filth and deception of the anti Christ, yet You have appointed this day too, and the servants You have chosen to overcome the Devil with the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony. Today, Lord, help us stand in the gaps and weather the storm. The doubt, fear, mockery and derision of a people deceived that Your light may be revealed in the fulness of its glory. Once more into the fight in faith, once more into the breach with the name of Jesus on our lips. Once more and again forever, until Your glorious return. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=f8TkUMJtK5k 23rd Kislev Wednesday 9th December Word Of God Speak As For Me And My House Philemon v6:16 Dear Lord, Maker of the Heavens and the Earth, we come before You and set ourselves and our houses at Your feet. Help us to embrace each other and live according to Your word, as bondservants in fellowship for the coming Kingdom, sewing and reaping according to the season and situation, not clambering for recognition, but walking together in love. We hope and ever look towards the day of Your coming, when Jesus will come again on the clouds, and we toil towards that day for Your glory, that the harvest may be rich and the celebration everlasting. Teach us to see each other with Your eyes, Lord, in Jesus's name, amen.​ 22nd Kislev Tuesday 8th December Victory Belongs To Jesus Like Oil Ephesians 1 v19:23 ​ O Lord, help us pour out our praise and worship to You each and every day. We do not give to receive, Lord, yet, in You, we have received of the greatest of treasures. We give out of devotion, out of respect, out of thankfulness, out of joy, out of tender love. You have changed us on the inside, You have given us hope and a future. You have given us life everlasting. We are no longer slaves, yet we gladly return to You in bond service, Father God. Let us sit at the foot of the One who poured out His life's blood that we may live, and praise and worship Him for who He is and what He has done, is doing and will do. Mighty God, Yeshua, Messiah, King. Amen. Glory hallelujah, and amen. 21st Kislev Monday 7th December Great Is Thy Faithfulness Mighty Man Of War Acts 15 v11:20 Mighty God, Maker of the Heavens and the Earth, You have made a way for all the peoples of the earth to come to You. You tore the veil. We thank You, Lord, for this gesture of Your mercy, Your compassion, Your desire. You want to draw all men to You, to live in relationship with humanity, for Your glory. Yet we are wicked and cruel, selfish and disparate. Keep Your work in us, Lord, remain patient and vigilant, forgiving our sins, and trusting in the work of Your Holy Spirit and the power of Your Cross to lift, deliver and redeem. You can do it. You are the only one who can. The debt is paid, now it is a time to retrieve and redeem Your people, to lift them and set them upon a rock, the Rock of Your salvation that is Jesus, the Christ, forever. Amen. 20th Kislev Sunday 6th December Be Still My Soul ​Let The Name Of The Lord Be Praised Psalm 146 Yes, Lord, you are to be praised, You alone are worthy, You alone have paid the price that ransomed all of mankind. Thank You, Jesus, thank You, Father God, thank You, Holy Spirit, for without You we are nothing. The scriptures say, "If God is for us, then what can stand against?" Today let us step forward in spirit and truth, and declare the gospel of Jesus Christ to a world that is dying. For Your glory alone, that many can be saved if they so choose to lay down their lives and surrender to the Most High God. In Jesus's name we pray, amen, glory hallelujah, and amen. 19th Kislev Saturday 5th December So Will I City Of Elohim Hebrews 9 v1:12 Yes, Jesus, You are our High Priest. You have entered into the Most Holy Place in the perfect temple of Heaven, where You intercede for us and all of the saints until Your return. Thank You, Lord, for Your endeavour, thank You, Lord, for Your patience, thank You, Lord, for Your sacrifice, that Your blood is continually poured out for the forgiveness of our sins. Yet our role is not passive, we are not just to stand, with arms outstretched to receive. As we receive from You, we too are commissioned to become as priests for the earth and the world around us. Praising You and the Father for the work in our lives, praying for the saints and the work for Your Kingdom upon the earth, moving in power and authority of the Holy Spirit to overcome the deceits and lies of the Enemy, a defeated foe in a fallen world. Help us don our priestly robes this day, Lord, and honour You and the Father in love, petition, prayer and forgiveness, in Your mighty and precious name, Yeshua, amen. 18th Kislev Friday 4th December I Will Sing The Wondrous Story ​Father's Heart Jonah 2 v6:9 You are our comfort and place of refuge, Lord. Today let us commit to the work of Your hands. Wherever we are, You know how best to use us for the building of Your Kingdom. Of living a life of example, separate yet secure, of supporting and encouraging the brothers and sisters, of speaking words of truth and love to those who are lost like we once were. Let no opportunity be missed today, Lord, let Your Holy Spirit speak, correct and guide, give us strength, discernment and patience, to be Your hearts, hands and eyes this day, we pray, amen. 17th Kislev Thursday 3rd December My God Is Awesome River Of Love Job 1 v21 Lord of Lords and King of Kings, from You we have come and to You we will return. Yet, Lord, in this life we need You to keep us and to guide us. And Lord, You know too that we will need to be picked up. We are sorry, Lord, for the times we stumble. Today, Lord, we want to remember that the best choice we can make is to return to You. Restore us, Lord once again. Lead us by paths of righteousness back to Your throne. Thank You, Father, for Your faithfulness, patience, forgiveness and truth. In Jesus's name we pray, amen. 16th Kislev Wednesday 2nd December Awake My Soul Rejoice Zephaniah 1 v4:14 Today we celebrate Your victory, Lord. Your victory at the cross, Your celebration when You come again. Hallelujah, Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come. You have caused Your people to exchange their tears of sadness for tears of joy, You have turned their mourning into dancing. You will one day exchange their robes of sackcloth and ashes for a robe of righteousness and praise. We look forward to Your coming, Lord, we celebrate in joy, we pray for the fountain of the love that we have for You to rise up and pour out through the fountain of Your Holy Spirit in us, an expression of boundless and endless joy. All glory, honour and praise to You, all thanks to You too, for You, for Your Son, for Your Spirit, for Your truth. Hosanna! Amen! Hosanna! King of Kings! Hosanna! Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=StW6ZKHRCFo 15th Kislev Tuesday 1st December Ancient Of Days God Of Wonders Hebrews 6 v16:20 Lord of Hosts, King of Kings, Maker of the Heavens and the Earth, You are who You say You are, You are the great, 'I AM.' You have pledged Yourself by the spilling of Your blood, by the fulfilling of scripture and prophecy, by Your sacrifice upon the Cross. As believers, we receive our new identity in You and from You by our baptism in water and the Spirit, by our communion with You in the partaking of the Bread of Life and the Blood of the Lamb. As we bear our cross, the lesser burden, we walk in life and agreement with You, commissioned to point and tell others of Your works, to live a life of example and victory in selfless service to those less fortunate than ourselves. Heavenly Father, we appeal to You today for equipping in strength and supernatural ability, that Your Holy Spirit indwell us to be our light, comfort and guide, to be our refuge, strength and authority in times of need. All for Your glory, and the lifting up of the name of Jesus, Yeshua, Isa, in a world bereft of hope and purpose, for the coming of Your Kingdom upon the earth. Amen. 14th Kislev Monday 30th November Closer King Of My Heart Deuteronomy 4 v11:24 Yes, Lord, this is a message and a warning for all of Your people. We must not make up or take up graven images, or worship them. Help us today, Lord, identify any things that we keep about our bodies or in our homes that are idols that we worship in place of devotion to You. If our hands or hearts tremble to stray towards them when we are disconnected, if they rush to them if we come into their presence, in the workplace or at the public house. Help us see them, Lord, and give us the strength and courage to cast them out; to, where possible, dash them in pieces that no other may be taken into their trap. You have poured out Your love for us at the Cross of Calvary, You have created all things above and below, You are the rightful ruler of all creation, and in this You alone are worthy of all honour and praise alone. You are far and above, You are Mighty God, at whose name the demons flee. Jehovah Elohim, Adonai, King. Help us heed this message and be done with idolatry, in Jesus's mighty name we pray, amen. 13th Kislev Sunday 29th November Soul On Fire Give Thanks With A Grateful Heart 2 Corinthians 6 Keeping hold of the grace of You, Lord God Almighty. Standing upon the Rock. Being true to Your Word and Way. Although You will not let us go when we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, it is into our hands that You pass the reins for the course of our life. You want us to mature and grow, learning from You until we become steersman and shepherds in our own right, learning to walk uprightly in Your Kingdom, yet there is still danger here until we make it to the throne room of grace in the New Jerusalem. Our Spirit may be there, through Your Spirit, but we will need to maintain a straight course in order to come home fully to You. Help us, this day firmly put the control and direction for our lives in Your hands. You have made us individual, and like to share in our thoughts, dreams, hopes and aspirations, yet, in truth, You know the best course for our lives. Thank You, Lord, that in that best course You will also reveal the truth and fulness of the how? what? and whys? as to the reason it was the best course. As one pastor shared in India, "If you want to give God a laugh, share your plans with Him." Today, Lord, we start the week giving thanks and praise for the promise You spoke to exiled elders in Babylon, through Your prophet Jeremiah, a promise spoken to all who would lay down their wicked and wretched selves in favour of abundant life of bond service to Christ Jesus, our Lord, a promise of plans to prosper us and not to kill us, to give us a hope and a future. Today we claim this and commit to the covenant of service for Your glory and coming Kingdom, in Jesus's mighty name, amen. ​https://youtube.com/watch?v=lFBZJGSgyVQ 12th Kislev Tuesday 28th November Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus Hosanna 2 Kings 17 v6:23 O Lord, even the King of Assyria saw the wickedness and the waywardness of Your children, Israel. How like You to know that their sinfulness could not be cured by the keeping of the Law, but the surrendering of the heart. You sent Your Son, Jesus, to atone for all of mankind's sinful nature and, in so doing, opened the way that all may come to the throne room of grace and accept from You forgiveness and mercy in exchange for repentance and submission. You give so much and ask for so little, on receiving grace we may still choose to go our own way. Help us, Lord, to understand and recognise You and all that You have done, are doing and will do in our lives and the world. Help us set aside every burden that hinders our walk with You and take up the only things that matter and keep us safe in the times to come, Your whole armour, our pack and sword. Jesus, we adore You and turn to You and recognise You as Holy and Worthy, and we come to You for rest and revival, in Your mighty name, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=LAb8uDpx_kU 11th Kislev Friday 27th November Be Strong And Courageous Let Us Adore John 1 v12:14 For unto us a child is born, and to us a son is given. Who is like You, Lord, that You are mindful of us? Amazing grace, what an incredible plan that You have thought of, put in motion and delivered, in Your Son, Jesus Christ. Thank You, Lord, thank You, Jesus. As what You have set in motion came to fruition then, we can have the confidence that what You have set in motion for the future will also come to pass. Mighty God, Maker of the Heavens and the Earth, we salute You and greet You, we bow down to You and worship You, we look to You for all things, in Jesus's mighty name. Amen. 10th Kislev Thursday 26th November Praise The Lord, O My Soul All You've Done Revelation 12 v10:12 What better thing is there to do than give You praise, O Lord of Heaven? To tell and show others of what You have done? To join with the Heavenly Host in praise and adoration? As one worship song goes, "Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, let this blessed assurance control; That Christ has regarded my helpless estate, and has shed His own blood for my soul." Yes, Lord, You have made a way, You have paid the price, You have defeated sin and the grave. Let us, this day, lift up praises to You, as innocent children, that we may, according to Your scriptures, silence the enemy. Amen. 9th Kislev Wednesday 25th November All I Need Is You Withholding Nothing 2 Kings 2 v1:14 What could we hold back that was not Yours from the beginning? You alone are Almighty God, Yahweh, Jehovah Tsidkenu, The Holy One of Israel. There is no other God but You, all power and authority came from You since the beginning. Lord of Hosts, let us share in the tenacity and persistence of Elisha in seeking to honour You and pursue His master. Let us share, please, in the blessing and security. We know that with power comes responsibility, but there also comes challenge and necessity, a need to continually represent You and the things of Your Kingdom, even in adversity, even unto death. Lord, we delight in You, and we know that You have paid the price and are preparing a place for us in Heaven, thank You for every raindrop and wind blow. In Jesus's mighty name we pray, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=xpG8ZDjY8i8 8th Kislev Tuesday 24th November Ancient Words I Surrender 1 Samuel 17 v1:30 In our walk in faith, Heavenly Father, we must not be afraid to ask questions that are difficult and challenging, especially if they are written on our hearts. Of ourselves first, and of others. Today, let us be like David, a young man, inexperienced in the ways of war or the world, who nevertheless asked the question that every other fighting man was afraid to ask. Who can stop the Lord Almighty? Who can stand against His chosen people? And He asked until the reply came from the King, and the opportunity was given for him to prove himself for the Lord. The Bible goes on to tell us that David was a man after God's heart. To know Your will and way, Father, to do what is right in Your eyes, for your glory. And, though he was still human and prone to mistakes, he pursued after this his whole life long. Help us today Lord, to be like David in pursuing the truth, for Your glory, and the coming of Your Kingdom upon the earth. Amen. 7th Kislev Monday 23rd November Psalm 63 Take Me In To The Holy Of Holies Genesis 14 v14:24 Steadfast, O Lord, hold us steadfast this day. As we stand upon the firm foundation of Jesus, we beg for You Lord God, to steady us and give us confidence. As we grow in strength and ability, make us bold enough to step out and to step up, to take our place on the walls of the New Jerusalem, to wage war against the powers, potentates and rulers of this dark world. Not for our glory, but for Yours, not as fearsome warriors, but as Your children, by adoption, still partakers at Your table because of the rejection of the people of Israel and death and resurrection of Your Son, Jesus, who is the Christ. Not to the left and not to the right, help us be resolute and strong, in Jesus's name we pray, amen. 6th Kislev Sunday 22nd November Yahweh Awake Awake O Zion Matthew 10 v26:28 Lord of Lords and King of Kings, if You are for us, what can stand against? All glory honour and praise are due to You. This day, Lord, let us stand on Your word, as upon a firm foundation. We have no need to be afraid, we have work to do in declaring Your word to the world. The Good News of the gospel, the amazing grace and mercy that You have poured out in Your own blood, for the sake of all mankind. Your grace is enough, You are the All Sufficient One. Silence the Enemy for us, O Lord, let us meet every withering eye and haughty look with a countenance of justice and love, for Your Name's sake, amen. 5th Kislev Saturday 21st November Psalm 139 Lifter Of My Head Amos 6 v8:14 O Lord of Hosts, King of the Heavens and the Earth, You truly are the lifter of our heads, by You we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Yet, in Your gifting of free will, You have placed a two edged sword in our hands. We can grieve You, Heavenly Father. We can become proud, vain and arrogant. We can follow after our selfish wants and ambitions. We can become puffed up. We can become mean. In the day of Amos it was the Roman Empire that came to devour the nation of Israel, in the days we live in today it is Satan himself, and the powers and spirits who stand with him, who move among us as we give our lives over to sin and destruction. Help us, Lord, to humble ourselves this day, to return to the simple path that You have set before us, for Your name's sake. Lead us, guide us, teach us, correct us. Here You will deliver us from the Evil One and give us refuge and strength. Be our God, we pray, that we may be Your people once again, for Your glory. Amen. 4th Kislev Friday 20th November In The Garden Thy Will Be Done Jonah 4 v4:11 O Lord, help us not be angry when things do not go according to our will. Each day You cause the sun to shine and the rain to fall, the flowers to grow and the birds to sing, but they are not there for our entertainment. They move and go, live and die, according to Your will. You created us, a people, a race separate from You in mind, that You could share of Your creation, and the appreciation of what it represents. You are the Potter, we are the clay, You are the Shepherd, we are the sheep, You are the great Saviour, and we the lost souls in need of salvation. So let us join in with the song, with the type of prayer You exemplified for Your children, and reach out to encourage the Jonah's of this world, both without and within, in saying and believing, "Thy will be done." Amen. 3rd Kislev Thursday 19th November Let My Life Be Like A Lovesong Holy Spirit Rain Down Song Of Solomon 6 v11:13 Study here. O Lord, how we seek the blessed union, the reconciliation of Christ to His church. The return of the bridegroom for the bride, the all conquering love expressed in a marriage made in Heaven. While we wait, Lord, there is work for us to do in the fields, for Your glory. We are planters, we are tenders, we are gatherers, we are prayer warriors, intercedents and intercessors, we are family members, we are friends. Above all, Lord, we need to be attentive to our calling in You. Help us Lord, in some way, express our love and devotion to You this day, in Jesus's mighty name, amen. 2nd Kislev Wednesday 18th November Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus King Of Heaven Joshua 1 v1:10 Lord of Lords and King of Kings, our Father in Heaven, who is like You in making covenants with Your people? In not only promising to go before and deliver, but making good of that promise, seeing it through to the end? Even with the lost tribes of Israel You throw open Your doors to those that seek You and acknowledge Your Son, Jesus, as the rightful heir and ruler. Today, Lord, let us repent of our sins once more, let us confess each to the other of our transgressions and let us come closer to You, Lord, begging forgiveness for the treachery of our ways, that You may be glorified and Your grace and mercy raised as a banner for all to see, in Jesus's mighty name, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=UYzEvsws3A4 1st Kislev Tuesday 17th November Your Love Oh Lord Oh Come All Ye Faithful Ephesians 6 v1:8 We are not alone, Oh God. You are with us on high, watching over the whole circle of the earth, You knew us so perfectly that You sent Your Son, Jesus as the only sacrifice capable of freeing us of sin, and You know us so intimately because You sent Your Holy Spirit to indwell Your children, that they may be comforted and instructed. Perfect God, You have also given us the scriptures to guide us and to chide us. Obedience to You is foremost, then obedience to our parents and our responsibility towards each other are laid down in Your guiding principles, so that we all may know the right way to go. We look forward, this day, and every day, to Your coming again, when You will write Your word upon our hearts, that we will all know intrinsically what is the right thing to do. Help us, this day, to hear and obey Your Holy Spirit, and seek opportunity to share of His goodness and grace, in Jesus's name we pray, amen. 29th Cheshvan Monday 16th November Withholding Nothing Revelation Song Nehemiah 10 v10:39 How many of us, Oh Lord, truly read Your scriptures? We are so apt to eat up the words that fatten our spirits, that promise us long and prosperous lives. Yet, when it comes to the leaner offerings, do we skip ahead, thinking nooone is watching? You are our perfect witness, through Your Holy Spirit You see all and know all. Lord, if we have skipped ahead in today's reading, let us return in repentance, and read what is offered. ​Are You, ever, any less splendid? Are You, ever, any less able? Then, Lord, today, we go back and eat up Your words, for You alone know the fulness of their meaning, You have appointed them to be spoken out, where they may tear down the strongholds of the Enemy. You are the fighter of our battles. You are our healer, our Risen King, and You are worthy of the attendance laid down in the later part of that passage. Yet Lord, in Your mercy, You have seen fit to fulfil the whole of the Law through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Now our commitment, our surrender, our sacrifice is all about what we are prepared to surrender within. Let us Lord, today, lay down our lives again before You, King of Heaven, as the people in Nehemiah's time. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=Yzejd6r9DwE 28th Cheshvan Sunday 15th November 'Tis so Sweet To Trust In Jesus Nothing But The Blood Galatians 3 v1:8 To trust You and to be freed by You. For, as it says in scripture, whom the Son sets free is free indeed. However, our walk in this life is beset on each side by troubles and possible pitfalls, and our Enemy is a subtle deceiver, who has had much time to practice and attempt to perfect his weapons of spiritual warfare. Lord of Hosts, we need Your help in the overcoming of darkness, especially where it masquerades as an angel of Light. Even though no weapons formed against us shall prosper, it is where we are weak that the Enemy and his servants can be the most successful against us. Where he is subtle, where he works through those closest to us. We need Your servants, Mighty Jehovah, to cast down the greater powers to their doom. Against Satan himself, we have a mediator who has poured out His precious blood in our defence but, in terms of our example to others, it is in You, O Lord, we rest in refuge, trust to our defence and rely on for fighting our battles. Yes, we must be ready and deep in Your bosom, in fellowship, prayer and study, to be safe, guarding our own hearts and tongues, yet we also recognise our frailty and inability to do any good thing without You. In particular Lord, today, on this celebration of foreign gods that has so pervaded the world in which we live, we ask You to expose the spirit of Jezebel in our lives and ask for Your servants, that are the angels of Light, to cast her down and out from us, that she may be trampled underfoot.We ask that those under her influence be set free. May we, in turn, cut any ties with those who hold her in esteem and refuse to be released from her tenuous, voluptuous yet deadly grasp. For Your glory alone, and the coming of Your Kingdom upon the earth. Amen. 27th Cheshvan Saturday 14th November I Give Myself Away I Won't Go Back 1 Corinthians 15 v35:49 From the perishable to the imperishable. From sickness to glory. From death to life, and new life in abundance. You have transformed us, Lord. You have given new hearts. You have given us hope and a foundation. Lord, if today we do not feel like that, help us receive of it now, through the power of Your Holy Spirit. If we do feel like that, let us lift our hands in praise and worship of the Most High, living God, Mighty Jehovah, the Maker of the Heavens and the Earth. Your Son, Jesus Christ, is the cornerstone and the capstone. Help us to take our place in Your building, Lord, to stand at the gaps in the walls, to reach out and hold on to others to give strength and support, through the Holy Spirit that binds us all together. In doing this, help us to build You a church worthy of Your calling, a church worthy of Your coming down from heaven again. With You as our hope and future, we cannot fail, with You alone are all things possible. We pray and praise and stand for Your glory, High King of Heaven, amen! 26th Cheshvan Friday 13th November Create In Me A Clean Heart ​Heart Of Worship ​ Matthew 4 v18:22 Yes, Lord of Hosts. Yes, the Great I AM. Yes, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. We lift up our hearts to You in worship and praise. And to You alone. Lord, this is an essential truth of serving You, an essential truth of receiving You, and essential truth of coming into eternal fellowship with You. You and no other. You have paid the price. you have made a Way. You are the lord of Lords and the King of Kings. Help us, Lord, align with You and cleanse ourselves of all other things. You have set our feet upon the Rock, You have poured out Your blood, You have washed us clean. Help us now, Wonderful, Counsellor, in our faltering steps in You. You have called us from the beginning, help us honour You and reach out to others for You, for Your glory alone. In Jesus's name we pray this, amen. 25th Cheshvan Thursday 12th November Oceans ​Jesus, We Enthrone You Deuteronomy 7 v17:26 ​ Yes, Lord Jesus, we enthrone You on our praises, as the Father seats You upon the Throne of Heaven. We do not need to make or fashion images of You, out of gold or silver, and bow down to them as other nations and peoples. You have decreed this, for You know there is no life in objects made with human hands. Lord, today we ask Your help in reviewing the items and objects in our homes and places of worship. Guide us, by the power of Your Holy Spirit, to things and objects that influence us in ways that take us away from You. You are first, You are Lord of our lives, and we need to lay down any things that do not honour You. Statues, trinkets, amulets, pictures, gifts; let us examine and discern rightly, and be rid of those that dishonour, for Your glory, that You may dwell in comfort amongst us. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus, amen. 24th Cheshvan Wednesday 11th November I Lift My Hands Our God Reigns Here Colossians 3 v12:15 Warriors, priests, servants, peacemakers. Truly, Lord, You have clothed us with a robe of righteousness. Help us not be vain or puffed up, help us be mindful of the giver and not the gift, for You have paid a price beyond every other, and are worthy of all praise and honour for that. The love we bear is the love that journeyed You to Calvary. Lord, as we have stood and claimed the ground upon which we stand for Your Kingdom, let us also stand and take our place in that land, upright and holy for Your glory. Help us rise above the temptations and our carnal desires, to be blameless before our accusers that You may not be brought into disrepute. Lord, reign in us, we pray, in Jesus's name, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZzEkhTwiODc 23rd Cheshvan Tuesday 10th November An extra song today. Come on, join in! Because He Lives We're Marching To Zion I Reach Up High 2 Corinthians 10 v3:5 Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Jesus. Thank You, Holy Spirit. To thank You once is to thank You threefold. In truth, we could never thank You enough for all that You have done, are doing and will do in our lives. Heavenly Father, Holy Lord today we send up a plea, as a battlefield flare or cry, a plea for help in the spiritual cut and thrust of this world. This world acknowledges the spiritual, but only teaches falsely from it. You see rightly, and know now, in the time since Christ, that we do not battle human opponents. However, the fight is bloody and at its fiercest for generations, and there are surely many human casualties. Lord, aid us, through Your spirit and angels, deliver us in our darkest hour. You have overcome the world, You are preparing us and equipping us for glory. Help us wipe the mud and the blood from our eyes and resolve ourselves in You, that we may enter the fray once again, that we may protect the things that we care about in You and be victorious in Jesus's mighty name. Amen. 22nd Cheshvan Monday 9th November Every Praise You Are Good Psalm 57 v7:11 ​Today we praise You, Lord. Nothing more, nothing less. You are worthy of all praise, Yours is the Name Above All Names. You are Yeshua. You are the Messiah. You came and overcame sin and death. You defeated the Devil. You ascended to Heaven, with the authority over all the earth. We are Your subjects, whether we accept You or not. We are Your devotees, those who do accept You as the merciful and graceful Son of God. Glory hallelujah! Glory hosanna! Praises to Your name, Jesus, forever, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=5_TOOXRpn8w 21st Cheshvan Sunday 8th November Be Still For The Presence Of The Lord Sing, Sing, Sing Numbers 6 v24:26 Lord, we may be beset on all sides by disasters and difficulties and challenges. Some of our own making, others as challenges from the Enemy and still others that may come from You, as tests, trials and preparation. In all cases, Lord, we ask for this boon; a rest, a respite from the cares of the world. We know that the Sabbath has come and gone, that a new day and a new week is laid ahead of us, yet, as with the prayer for the priests, we, the people of twooneone.org, ask this boon, in Jesus's name. To be strengthened, refreshed and renewed for the fight, to be restored as Your children, ambassadors and priests, for a new day, a new week, a new month, a new period of time before Your glorious return. For Your glory alone. Amen. ​ 20th Cheshvan Saturday 7th November How Deep The Father's Love For Us Healer Psalm 84 ​A day of peace and rest. A day of holy convocation. A day of communion. A day set apart and distinct from the other days of the week. Lord God of Israel, Most High, Maker and Creator, You instigated a Sabbath rest because You knew the human condition intimately. Though we are no longer under the Law, and all things are permissible for us, not all things are beneficial for us. For those who accept the observance of the Sabbath as a mark of obedience, freely given and undertaken out of love and desire to receive and walk with the Holy God, we pray a day of fulfillment and blessing. For those who do not observe the Sabbath rest in favour of observance of a 'Lord's day' at some other day of the week, or those who do not keep a day of rest at all, we pray for a testing of God's will and way for their lives. An open minded and open hearted commitment, in search of a deeper and wider walk with the same Most High God. We know that we must not judge by external standards, by the keeping of new moons, festivals or Sabbath days. Whatever our position, standing or place, it must be our unified desire to please You, Lord of Lords and King of Kings and, though we are also unified in our wretchedness, this too brings us together in need of clearer attitude and communication in You and through You, for Your glory. Father in heaven, teach us and guide us, we pray, this day, for the coming of Your Kingdom upon the earth, amen. I Will Sing The Wondrous Story Thy Will Be Done 19th Cheshvan Friday 6th November Hosanna Hosanna 2 Corinthians 6 v16:18 You have made a way in the desert, Lord, You have overcome sin and death. Today we celebrate You, we approach Your Sabbath in fear and trembling, a tingling of expectation in our bones and brains. Be with us, Lord, in our preparation, be with us, Lord, in our readiness. We want to be in the best possible attitude and relationship with You, God Almighty, the Maker of the Heavens and the Earth, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=lcxKRsn-hGc 18th Cheshvan Thursday 5th November Unbroken Praise Change My Heart Oh God Zechariah 4 v11:14 You are the Potter, Lord, we are the clay. You will mould and make us according to Your design, we must conform and be pliable to Your will if we are to be transformed from glory to glory. Oh Lord, You are our one desire. Let us be like You, Your Son, Jesus. Let us serve You and attend to You, not out of bondage, but out of love for who You are and what You have done, are doing and will do. For Your glory alone, amen. 17th Cheshvan Wednesday 4th November Arise We Want To See Jesus Lifted High 2 Corinthians 9 v13:15 To lift You up, Lord, to walk in Your ways, for Your glory. These are the things that delight our hearts, and the things that delight Yours. To give as we have freely received. To love without borders or boundaries. To excel in the things of the gospel. To run the race, to stand for Jesus. Today, let us do this for You in all of its glorious simplicity. It is something that unites us as Your people, God, to act in mercy, kindness, compassion, humility, justice and love. May You bless us, Lord, as we do this. Not that we may become conceited, vain or puffed up, but that we may simply live in the certain knowledge that You are our God and we are Your people. In Jesus's name we pray this, for the coming of Your Kingdom upon the earth, amen. 16th Cheshvan Tuesday 3rd November Thank you to the Pastor and worship team at Otara Community Church Of The Nazarene in Otara, South Auckland for the inspiration for today's contribution. Thanks be to God for the inspiration He puts to each of them. :-) <3 God You're So Good Days Of Elijah Isaiah 53 This is one of the most fiercely contested pieces of scripture in the accepted Biblical canon, Lord. Does it speak of a people or a city? Does it speak of an individual or a group of people? Does it point to the Messiah, in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, or some One that is yet to come? Yet Your ways are not our ways, Lord. Your thoughts are not our thoughts. Your ways are higher, and Your thoughts are deeper. By You, and through You, You are able to speak all at once. You are an ocean that we swim in as specks. Yours is the wisdom whose very least is greater than the greatest of man's. Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah. Is and was and is to come. He will return for His people, His church, who are Your people, the true, spiritual Israel, who are truly of Abraham's seed, who are destined to receive of His and Your inheritance, a place at Your table in Your Kingdom forever. Thank You, Lord of Lords and King of Kings. Thank You, Mighty Jehovah, Yahweh, the Maker and Creator of All Things. And Thank You, Jesus Messiah, Yeshua, the Christ, the Holy and Appointed One of the Old Testament, the fulfiller of prophecy, the Author and Finisher of Every Good Work. You are good, o God, and You are Holy. You began a work in the Law, and You saw it through to the end. You began a work of redemption and we wait patiently for You to come again. Only then will we fully know, as we are fully known by You, and, those of us who have accepted You, will rejoice and dance with You in the fields and pastures of Heaven forever, for Your glory, amen. 15th Cheshvan Monday 2nd November While I'm Waiting How He Loves Us Lamentations 3 v22:24 You are jealous for us, Lord. You are waiting to reveal Yourself to every hurting heart that would open its door to You. For those of us who have opened that door, who have received of Your Spirit, we pray a prayer for those who have not. Lord help us be a light and a guide, to point all that we are towards You, that people we know see only You, and see You as the author and finisher of works in us. All good things come from You, Father, and our hope and delight is for You to work miracles around us like raindrops falling in a summer storm. Come, Lord Jesus, and occupy our prayers and praises, for the Father's glory and the coming of Your Kingdom upon the earth. Amen. 14th Cheshvan Sunday 1st November All Who Are Thirsty What A Beautiful Name It Is Matthew 5 v1:20 You are God alone. You are the three in one, the Godhead, El Elohim. Both plural and singular, You are the same, unchanging, everlasting, all seeing, all knowing, and all present God. The Maker of the Heavens and the Earth. The Rock of our Salvation, the Author and Finisher of every mighty work. O Lord, we pray and appeal to You, we give thanks, honour and praise to You. To You we bring the first fruits of our offerings, as we give thanks and praise that You have made the lasting and total sacrifice of life needed to ransom us forever from the death and destruction that our sinful and wicked natures deserve. You have done this as an act of Your mercy and compassion, as a testament to Your power and authority, as a measure of Your love for Your creation and all of the things in it. We have value in only that You look to us, we have honour in only that You honour us, we have calling in only that You have called to us. Today, after this day of deceit and dishonour, let us lift up and appreciate the good things that You have done, are doing and will do. Let us us lift up and speak the name of Jesus, Yeshua, Jesu, Isa, and pronounce Him as worthy Lord of our lives. Let us seek Your Holy Spirit, to be infilled and refreshed and let us look to You, Living God, to be overseer and perfecter of our days and ways, for Your glory alone. In Jesus's name we pray, amen. 13th Cheshvan Saturday 31st October Father's Heart Our God Is Greater Exodus 18 v13:16 Oh Lord of Lords and King of Kings, You have furnished Your children with spiritual gifts. This is not according to works or status, but according to Your mercy and will. You afforded Moses the gift of discernment and he could apply this to every case of every person that was brought before him but, as we read on the chapter, we see that this was not necessarily the best use of his gift. Lord, we ask today for discernment. In a time given over to the celebration of evil, we enter this Sabbath rest looking for Your wisdom, knowledge and insight on how to handle our relationships, especially with those people who set themselves upon a path of waywardness and rebellion. Whether with children on our doorstep or adults who stubbornly refuse to recognise our witness, give us the love of Jesus to overcome every obstacle, for Your glory alone. Help us to be lights upon a hillside, lights that shine in the darkness, for Your name's sake, our Sovereign Lord Jehovah, amen. ​https://youtube.com/watch?v=c7uRX4srnsM https://youtube.com/watch?v=XtvT12z18sA 12th Cheshvan Friday 30th October All For Love Thy God Reigneth Psalm 94 v12:15 "Vengeance is mine, says the Lord." Yes, Lord, and we acknowledge that the path to vengeance is Yours alone to tread. Only You see rightly, only You know fully, so we must trust in You when it comes to judgement and vengeance. You tell us to love each other as You have loved us. You tell us to love each other as we would like to be loved. You tell us to love each other. Lord, this day, help us lay aside our pride and vanity, our prejudice and hardship, and see each person that we encounter through Your eyes. It is true that we do not have to embrace evildoers, but we are called to be compassionate towards them. Let us trust to You to reward each according to their deeds, and honour You in Your decision of forgiveness. You alone are worthy of all praise, for You alone are worthy. Blessings and honour and glory to You, in Jesus's name, amen. ​ 11th Cheshvan Thursday 29th October Consuming Fire Word Of God Speak Psalm 119 v41:48 Lord of Hosts, king of Kings, let our hearts desire be to be lost in Your Word. Your mercies are new every morning, so let us hunger and thirst each day for a new revelation of You, Your identity, Your profession, Your intention, Your majesty, Your splendour. Be our God, Lord Jehovah, and may we, in turn, be Your people, setting aside all else that would deter or detract from our walk with You. Though this may be difficult for those who are rich in life, help us accept and understand the truth that Your ways are higher, Your ways are deeper, that You truly are worthy of all praise, the holder of all mysteries, the keeper of our hearts, minds and souls. For Your glory, forever, amen. 10th Cheshvan Wednesday 28th October O The Deep, Deep Love Of Jesus There Is None Like You 1 Samuel 16 v7:13 Your timing, Your vision, Your plan for redemption. Who is like You, Lord, that You are mindful of us? That You yearn to be in relationship with us? That You have determined to forgive our sins, to release us from bondage, to reclaim us as Your own? That Your commitment to this may be measured in Your blood? That You ask no more from us than repentance, an acknowledgement and a turning from sin? This is why the Gospel of Jesus is called the Good News. A gift from God to every man, woman and child that would hear and obey His word. Thank You, Lord, thank You, Jesus, Yeshua, thank You, Holy Spirit. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=CglQuMr0ifk 9th Cheshvan Tuesday 27th October Ever Be Jesus, Lover Of My Soul 1 Samuel 16 v18:23 Lord God of Israel, the God of Isaac and the God of Abraham, we salute You and greet You and thank You and acknowledge You. You it was who set the captives free from Egypt and led them in the desert for forty years. You it was who established them in the land of Canaan, the land You had promised through their forefathers. It was You that repeatedly forgave them of their transgressions and sent warning against their sin through Your prophets and saints, and it was You that finally sent Your Son, Jesus, called Yeshua, as an offering, an opportunity for them to accord for all time with You. In their rejection, Lord, there is now life for all who would call upon Your name, in faith and truth. Lord, today we humbly ask to be the sweet music in the ears of our hearers that silences the spirits of evil that prey upon our weakness and lassitude. We want nothing more than to be successful ambassadors for You, to testify of Your all conquering love into a world that is lost in its sin and corruption. You have made a way, You have made that way in each of us who would abide and listen to Your voice. Bless us, we pray, in Jesus's mighty name, for Your glory in Heaven and the coming of Your Kingdom upon the earth. Amen. 8th Cheshvan Monday 26th October There Is A Redeemer The Good Shepherd Matthew 13 v43:49 You have said it, Lord. You have declared it clearly so that even a child can understand it. The value of entering Heaven is greater than all of the riches we possess. That when the end comes there will be discernment sufficient to sort the good from the bad, to choose between those who are prepared to pay the price and those who are not. You ask, Lord, so much less than You gave. From before time, through Abraham and Moses, through all of the history of Your people, Israel, You pointed towards Your coming sacrifice upon the earth. Your blood was spilled, Your life given over that the Holy Spirit could come and dwell within each of us. Help us, this day, surrender our riches to buy the Promised Land of Your Salvation, let us give of ourselves all that we have for Your glory. The two mites of the widow were sufficient, as her heart and soul were set on You, Lord. Whatever we have, let us give freely in an expression of our love and desire for You. You have given, let us give also, in Jesus's name we pray, amen. 7th Cheshvan Sunday 25th October The Lord Reigns The Lord Reigneth Jeremiah 31 v26:37 Blessed be Your name, King of Heaven. You have overcome, You have paid the price, You have shed Your own blood to redeem Your people. All praise, glory and honour are due to You, Lord of Lords and King of Kings, Mighty God, El Shaddai, Adonai. Today we celebrate You and press on into the new week with gladness in our hearts and songs of praises upon our lips. You have a plan, You have expressed an intent, You have declared Your Word over Your children, Israel. You will see it done. Heavenly Father, lead us, guide us, teach us, use us for Your glory alone, in Jesus's name, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=UNSUQdyhDKU 6th Cheshvan Saturday 24th October Love Knows No End Jesus I Need You Job 3 v20:26 Your Sabbath rest, Lord. A day decreed by our Father in Heaven as a holy convocation, a common and shared respite, a day of communion, a day of kinship. Your rest is what we need, Lord. We know that there will be a permanent Sabbath peace when we enter the gates of Paradise, but today, Lord we seek and pray for a hint of this in this life. That Your Kingdom come, that we may rest in the refuge of Your presence, and know You more. As the Shepherd, as the Father, as the Waymaker, for Your glory. Inhabit our praises, Lord, that we may sense Your presence amongst us, in Jesus's name. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=CoVe95c0zWo 5th Cheshvan Friday 23rd October This Is Amazing Grace ​Shabbat Ain't Gonna Wait On Me Jeremiah 44 v7:14 O, Father in Heaven, how insolent, how wicked, how deceptive are our ways before You? In the two thousand years since Your arrival upon the earth, how we have turned, this way and that, to do the things that are against You, Your word and Your gospel. We are deserving of death, a death of famine and sword. And yet, You have relented. You have given us a choice. Each man, woman and child. A choice to accept or reject . A choice to acknowledge or ignore. A choice to follow or determine our own path. For this You will hold us accountable in the end. The degree of our acceptance, the measure of our surrender. Today, Lord, let us look to Your standard, let us prepare ourselves for Sabbath, let us hold ourselves to Your divine nature, in creation, in scripture, and let us take stock of our relationship with You. For Your glory, for Your name's sake. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=xpG8ZDjY8i8 4th Cheshvan Thursday 22nd October I Will Rise Your Love, It Knows No End 1 Samuel 17 v1:11 Lord of Hosts and King of Kings, whom have we to fear in all the world when we have You? When a Goliath or similar rises up against us, You will be with us, You will equip us for the fight. The greatest victory has already been won. You have overcome sin and the grave, the Devil is set aside, reserved for the punishment due to him when You return. Glory hallelujah! Let us don Your armour today, Lord of Lords, let us take up Your weapons of war. Let your Spirit arise in each of us, Your word, Your cross, that we might wage war in the spiritual realms and declare Your name far and wide, deep and high, the name of Jesus Christ, Yeshua, the Messiah. Amen and glory hallelujah! Amen and hail Yeshua! Amen and peace to all men! Amen. 3rd Cheshvan Wednesday 21st October All For Love All Creatures Of Our God And King Matthew 3 v13:15 A way, Lord. A way. In the desert. In the wilderness. In the mire. Through the the mist. Over the sea. Beyond the waves. Over the hilltops. We need a way. And You, in Your wisdom, have given us one. Will we ever understand the cost? The price that You paid? The way that You went? You have truly blessed us. Open that way to us today please, Heavenly Father. Widen the path, so that we can become confident in the tread of our feet. Lead us, in green pastures and beside still waters, for Your name's sake. Jesus, Yeshua, Messiah. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=pC_FGE-jZQo 2nd Cheshvan Tuesday 20th October Better Than A Hallelujah Sweetly Broken James 4 v14:17 Our condition, Lord, is wretched. Until we surrender, until we come to the foot of the cross in supplication, until we give in and give up, we can be no other thing. Not works, not deeds, not feats, no man made endeavour can grant us true satisfaction, true escape from this condition. Only the love of God, only the forgiveness of a Saviour, can set us free from sin, can lift us to a new life, righteous and justified before a Holy God. There is no side door, there is no other way, even the circuitous and torturous route of self realisation will only lead to surrender or loss. You are waiting, Lord, You paid the price, Jesus, so that we could have a way home. Glory hallelujah! We surrender ourselves today, for Your glory, amen. 1st Cheshvan Monday 19th October Ever Be 10, 000 Reasons Joshua 7 v10:15 O Lord, how thankful we must ever remain for the Cross of Calvary. Surely there is not one of us who could take their place in the queues of Joshua's army, certain that, as the lines dwindled, we would stand in the place bound for destruction. We have all sinned. We have all held back something, buried in the steadfastness of our tents. Lord, today we ask for strength and resolve to count the blessings and set aside the things that we retain that are not of You. Even in our darkest hours, we struggle to retain our identity, our strength, our idols. Let us lift each one before You, and see them for the filthy rags, worthless treasures or powerless trinkets that they are. And let us be done with them. For Your glory, for Your name and, in thanks, for our salvation. Amen. 30th Tishri Sunday 18th October The longest break in twooneone.org's history. Apologies to our friends, followers and partakers around the globe, may the Lord provide for and protect us against future incursions by the Enemy, in Jesus's mighty name, amen. Victory Belongs To Jesus Jesus Messiah Romans 8 v38:39 This is the promise for all that have faith in You. You have made a way for us to return to the fulness of relationship with You. You have torn the veil. You have sent Your Spirit, You have set the captives free. There is no condemnation for those of us who are in Christ Jesus. It is not a platitude to say that we are no longer slaves, it is a joy to surrender and serve the living God, in the fulness of His glory. Heavenly father, though it may be hard for us to see how You will achieve it, today we give thanks for the splendour of Your majesty, for Your indubitable, ineffable and unstoppable plan for the salvation and redemption of Your children from the earth. Brilliant Lord, fantastic King, wonderful Saviour, thank You and well done. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=f8TkUMJtK5k 25th Tishri Tuesday 13th October Spirit Of The Living God Take Me Into The Holy Of Holies Job 5 v1:16 With such smooth words men and women are given over to deception. Call upon the name of the Lord and be saved. Condemn yourself before Him, for the Lord marks each one according to his works. But this is not true of this life. God, Yahweh, Mighty Jehovah, Deliverer of the Captives of Egypt, the God of Moses and Abraham, pours forth rain on the just and the unjust alike. Our wretched condition now is not part of some punishment that He has crafted for our deserved distress, rather He, in being fair and merciful and compassionate to all of His creation, is fashioning an opportunity for us to grow nearer to Him. Everything that comes from God is good. No thing goes back to Him unanswered. Today, Lord, we speak against the fair words of the Deceiver and his proponents. Subtle, poetic and manifold as they may be, let their truth sound like gravel under a door to the listeners today. Expose the false teachers and speakers, as we give thanks for the lessons in correction that You deal rightly and fairly to everyone, my non capricious Lord. You are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, forever. Amen. 24th Tishri Monday 12th October All Creatures Of Our God And King Lead Me To The Cross John 10 v1:5 You are the Great Shepherd, Your sheep know Your voice and follow You. Wherever You go, Lord, we will follow. Onto the high plains. Through the valleys. Up above the mountain tracks. You will always lead us to pasture, until that day when the path is no more. We trust in You to know and lead the way. Terrors may come, our feet and strength may fail, but we will continue to look to You, even in the valley as dark as the shadow of death. There is no place that we would rather be, even in the temporary pleasures of the world. You are first and foremost, You are Shepherd and Gatekeeper. Amen. Glory hallelujah, amen. 23rd Tishri Sunday 11th October Over The Mountains https://youtube.com/watch?v=zyIR4N5EFt8 King Of My Heart https://youtube.com/watch?v=g6_BLuhr0HQ Exodus 18 v13:23 https://bible.com/bible/111/EXO.18.13-23.niv Our pursuit of You, Lord, Your ways, Your statutes should be enduring. To seek You, King of Heaven, is to find you. You are the Lord of Lords, from everlasting to everlasting. You are coming for Your bride and Your Word declares that we will rise up to meet You in the clouds. Let us and help us be ready, Lord. In attitude, in surrender, in provision, for Your name's sake. Your ways are higher, Your thoughts are deeper. In the time of the Moses You had a plan for the organisation and administration of Your people, let us look to You for guidance and instruction. You are God alone. We have no other besides You, You are our all sufficient All in All. Amen. Glory to God! Amen! 22nd Tishri Saturday 10th October Awake My Soul Yield My Heart Ezekiel 37 v1:14 We came to life when You breathed upon us, Holy One of Israel. We need You in every moment and every aspect of our lives to live at all. Help us stand, help us walk, help us hear, help us see, help us fear, help us do, Lord. For Your glory. Less of us and more of You. Lead us, guide us, heal us, restore us, refresh us, renew us. Comfort us, feed us, protect us. All in Jesus's name. It is too much to ask, to much to expect, too much to hope for, given our wretched condition. Yet we ask. In prayer, in petition, in expectation. We ask because You are I AM. You are God and we are not. We live through You, help us live for You, for Your glory and the coming of Your Kingdom upon the earth. Amen. ​https://youtube.com/watch?v=dy9nwe9_xzw 21st Tishri Friday 9th October Festival of Booths O The Deep, Deep Love Of Jesus All Things Bright And Beautiful Joshua 3 v1:6 As the time in the wilderness drew to a close, Lord, You moved Your people and readied them to cross the Jordan into the Promised Land. Your people had been out of Canaan for almost five hundred years. Though it was still a land of bounty and blessing, it was populated with fierce tribes and giants, that all needed to be defeated if Your people were to gain the fullness of their inheritance. You had shaped them and prepared them, Lord. They now followed the orders of their leader, and respected Your priests and dwelling place. You were their God, they were Your people. Today, Lord, we give thanks for the splendid provision and beauty of Your creation and ready ourselves to follow the Ark when it moves, to go when You say, "Go!" We have the confidence to know that You are who You say You are and use the same to beat down our fears and anxieties. As You live, so we live also. Thank You, Lord, thank You, Jesus and thank You, Holy Spirit, for Your splendour and majesty, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=pnuyWSIfbZA 20th Tishri Thursday 8th October Festival of Booths Trust And Obey I Believe Genesis 12 v2:3 You are the Son of God, Jesus. Though many refute this truth, they will all fall by the wayside before the end. There You will be revealed in Your glory, for all of the world to see. There will be no doubt, every knee will bow and every tongue confess You as King. There are still many who do not understand or who are incomplete of their hearing of the truth of the gospel, for in seeing You and hearing You we are changed forever. Today we pray for these. Those who stand on the fringes of Your church, those who are trying to balance a recognition of Your hand in creation with the need for independent control of their own lives and insecurities, those who are deceived by false doctrines and bad theology and those who are fearful of what a total transformation of their life might mean. We pray for Your covering of protection, we pray for words of encouragement to be heard over words of criticism, we pray that they see Your love in our concern and rhetoric. You are the Lord, Adonai, the Mighty God, we ask for You to speak and pray for these people to soften their hearts toward You. Yours is the name above all names, Yours is the victory at the cross. Come and overcome, Mighty One of Israel, fulfil Your promise to Abraham and bring Your children into the land of plenty. For Your glory alone. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=0d3gO6qDLNA 19th Tishri Wednesday 7th October Festival of Booths This Is Amazing Grace Be Still My Soul Psalm 86 In the desert places, Lord God, Mighty Jehovah, You provided for Your people. You made them understand that they were totally dependent on You. As Your children, Your bondservants, that truth is the same today as it was then, as it was before then. You are the Potter, we are the clay. The Psalm of today's reading makes a claim, a claim for Your blessing upon the Psalmist, as a token to show his surrounding enemies. Lord, today we ask of the same. As with the food and the water of survival in the desert, You know our needs. Put forth Your mighty hand, we pray, not as a test of You, but as a revelation of You, and give freely of Your wealth so that others may see and be rightly astonished. While many pray for the Jehovah Jireh of selfish gain, we pray for the Jehovah Jireh of simple truth, that You alone are God, All powerful, all seeing, all knowing, whose grace is more than sufficient, whose love is without compare or equal. We readily acknowledge that we received more than we deserved when Your Son, Jesus, died on the cross for our sins, yet, Lord, today we cry out to You for a rich provision in the presence of our enemies, for Your glory alone. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=YM_ZdZvifCQ 18th Tishri Tuesday 6th October Festival of Booths Awake My Soul ​Even So Come Matthew 21 v28:32 Lord of Hosts, King of Heaven, we come to You and look forward to the day of Your coming. Your arrival heralds the end of time as we reckon it, as a counter of days, your judgement will be announced with the praising and worship of the holy and the gnashing of teeth of those who have opposed Your dominion. Lord, we pray today for You to hasten the day. Come, Lord Jesus, end the strife, the doubt and the suffering. Fulfil Your eternal role as rescuer and ransomer, saviour and redeemer. We are but wretches before You, You know our thoughts, hearts and deeds, yet we look to You and acknowledge You as sovereign Lord. We pray for the peace and the rest, Lord Jesus, we pray for those near the threshold to cross, and not tarry, and we pray above all for Will to be done on the earth.

Thank You, Lord, You are without equal in might or power. Your ways are higher, Lord, and Your thoughts deeper. We are to trust in You as we believe in You. You will fight our battles, You will deliver us. Help us be ready, Lord, equipped for the fight. You have set Your heart's desire on redeeming Your people, come do this Lord, please, we ask in Jesus's mighty name, amen.

Get ready! There can be no clearer clarion call for Your church, Your children. You have paid the price. You will return soon. We are to be clothed and anxious for Your return, as fretful as a bride waiting for the bridegroom. Today, Lord, help us trim our lamps and charge our lanterns. Let us look to You for guidance for the things we need to set aside and the things we need to have close at hand. To call to the faithful and encourage the sleepy to wakefulness. No one knows the day or the time of Your return except You, but our attitude is one of alertness and vigilance. You will not tarry in carrying off Your bride, You will not delay in claiming Your prize, so help us, Lord, get ready.

To the cries of hearts, to the desires of those we love and, above all, to the still, small voice of Your speaking in this world. You are the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. We are Your humble people, humbled by Your majesty and excellence in our lives. Let us lay down all noise and all distraction on this opening Sabbath of the feast that You went down to. Let us hear You in the silence of the wilderness, in the recounting of Your marvellous patience, deliverance and perseverance for Your people and let us celebrate the opening of our hearts, eyes and ears to Your splendid Good News, that Jesus is risen, that the battle is won, that we have been set free.

We need a compass and a guide, even a steersman, and permission to grant us safe passage to the end. The way may not always be straight and trials may come, but we are assured in this, Maker of the Heavens and the Earth, that You are and know the Way. Help us discern our place in life's journey, Father, and encourage us to lean in to the direction that would most glorify You and lift up the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, in the eyes of those we meet along the way. Give us clear instruction for the next step, we pray, as we hand the tiller of our life over to You. You have given us hope and a future, make straight our path to the next port of call, as when Jesus entered the boat from walking upon the sea. In His name we pray, for Your glory, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=ctc3GqWaV3U 13th Tishri Thursday 1st October Lead Me To The Cross You Make Me Brave Isaiah 37 v16:20 You are our God, Mighty God of Israel. You are the One, True, Living God, the Maker of the Heavens and the Earth. Let us be like Hezekiah, Lord, laying all that we are at Your feet. We need You, Lord, for You to be manifest in our lives. Not that we need to see You. We trust You and acknowledge You for who You are and what You have done. But that You can be seen by our adversaries, our families, our friends. Your work, the power and authority of the Holy Spirit. Changing, transforming, healing, blessing, correcting. Being a light and guide. Leading us to You. We wait patiently, King of Heaven, answer us, Lord, we pray. Amen. 12th Tishri Wednesday 30th September Goodness Of God Casa Del Dios Hosea 4 v15:19 O Lord, are these days as the days of Noah? So much trouble and strife in the world, and so much idolatry and harlotry in the home. Yet You have appointed the worship of little children to silence the Enemy. Raise us up, Lord, help us be as innocent as doves and as shrewd as serpents. We need You to be our light and our guide. As the song said at the end of last week, "Lead us Thou, O Great Jehovah." In Jesus's name, we pray, amen. 11th Tishri Tuesday 29th September I Will Worship As For Me And My House Judges 16 v6:24 Serving You is a blessing, Lord. How right it is. How good. How beautiful. What unsurpassed, awesome splendour awaits us in Your house! The thought of the splendour that You will be there! O Lord, we cry out for You to hasten the day of Your coming, even knowing that You will do it in Your perfect time, the time appointed from the beginning, the time so sweet, so right, so excellent that whatever we thought of as best will be as filthy rags in comparison to Your grace. Help us to continually seek You, Lord of Hosts, Lord of Peace that we may know You and Your servants and one day look upon Your face. Amen. Glory hallelujah, hosanna! Amen. 10th Tishri Monday 28th September What A Faithful God Faithful One Hebrews 10 v16:27 You are a faithful God. You are the One who set His desire on redemption and salvation. You are the one who achieved this by the shedding of Your blood, through the sacrifice of Your One and only Son. Father God, Abba, beloved, we thank You for this faithfulness and pray that You supply the strength, courage, wisdom and understanding that supports our faith through these troubled times. You are faithful, You are good, You will see your children through.

We pray today for the scoffers, for the doubters, for the deceivers and the deceived. And for ourselves, Lord, that we too may not be deceived. To miss You would be to fail You, to be separate from You would be too much loss to bear. Dear Lord, we lift up holy hands to You this day, in Jesus's name. Amen. 8th Tishri ​Saturday 26th September Guide Me, Oh Thou Great Jehovah Simple Gospel Psalm 103 The simple Gospel, Lord. You are You, and we are not. You have created. You have knocked. You have filled us with potential. It is for us to reach out only. To accept and acknowledge, to remember and stay close to You. Today, Lord, help us reread this Psalm again. On Your Sabbath. On Your day. Though all days and all peoples and the sun, the moon and the stars are made by You and are Yours, you have appointed this day, and every Sabbath rest, as a day to spend with You. Thank You, Father, thank You, Son, thank You, Holy Spirit. Amen.

We are entreated to love our neighbours. This is not just those who live physically adjacent, but all those who live in our society. We are entreated to reach out to the poor and the sick. We are entreated, as followers of the Most High, to love our enemies. To overcome evil with good, to love one another, as Christ loved us. Lord, help us in this today. In our places of work, in our homes, in the streets and public places, let us do as the song says and 'cross over the road', make the journey from watcher to worker. From witness to partaker. You will establish the purpose of Your people as in days of old, as in the days of Nehemiah. You will fight for Your people and deliver them, for Your name's sake. All glory, honour and praise are due unto You, in Jesus's name we pray, amen. 6th Tishri Thursday 24th September Goodness Of God Worthy Is The Lamb Matthew 5 v8:12 Worthy, worthy, worthy is the Lord God Almighty.

We want to live as You would want us to live. In our homes, in our places of work, in our relationships, in our ministry, for Your glory alone. We ask for the blood of Jesus to wash us clean, that we might enter in and give You praise. Align ourselves with You. You alone are worthy, You alone are Holy, You alone have overcome sin and the grave first, that no man may boast or argue for special favour. We need a Saviour, we need You, Lord Jesus.

Lead us, guide us, keep us, teach us, build us. Into Your people, Your flock. Help us reach and look for You, to fix our gaze upon You, worthy Lord. There is no other space or place where we would rather be. Held by You. In the hearing of You, the One who does not slumber or sleep, the One whose ways are perfect, whose thoughts are deeper. In doing this, when we are connected with You and fixed upon You, You will help us and guide us in the reaching out to others. Yours is the best counsel, Your wisdom is more precious than rubies or gold. Mould us, make us, Lord, this day, in Your image we pray, in Jesus's name. Amen. ​https://youtube.com/watch?v=LpYD7HQo9QQ 4th Tishri Tuesday 22nd September Let My Life Be Like A Love Song Unbroken Praise 2 Timothy 3 v1:7 Lord of Lords, Lord of Hosts, I do not want to be like this. One of these people, a scoffer and a mocker, an anti-type. You alone are God Almighty, You are worthy of all praise. I surrender all that I am to You, I acknowledge You as the First and the Last, the Alpha and the Omega. My house, my home, my light, my life I lay down before You. My spouse, my children, my loves, my hopes, my dreams, my desires. Everything, without exception. Whatever I take up from here, from this very moment, from breath to water, from hair to high places, I take up because of Your ordination. I was a wretch before. I am one still. It is Your grace, Your mercy, Your faith, Your patience and the blood of Your Son, Jesus that has allowed this. Mighty God, I take comfort, rest and refuge in You today, for tomorrow I may fight and die for You, if need be. For Your glory alone. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=x0-GIUqs7Zg 3rd Tishri Monday 21st September Open The Eyes Of My Heart One Way 1 Timothy 4 You are the Way, the Truth and the Life. Awesome and mighty God, Holy One of Israel, Saviour, Redeemer, King, there is no other part we want to fulfill, no other way we want to go. Protect us, keep us, equip us, guide us through the mire of false prophets, false words and false teachers. Lord, give us Your discerning spirit, we pray, that we may expose the fake and the false, help us use Your sword, the Word of God, to expose the innermost thoughts and desires of those around us. We are to hate what You hate, and to push away the poisoned food, the food offered to idols, only. Help us in this, we pray, we need You to see rightly, for Your glory, and the coming of Your Kingdom upon the earth. https://youtube.com/watch?v=lbSPw7f3FxI 2nd Tishri Sunday 20th September I Will Worship ​From The Inside Out 1 Corinthians 7 v10:24 O Lord, as surely as the church leaders struggle and wrestle to give a clearly defined way to follow, it is also clear that we must, according to Your Word, "work out our salvation in fear and trembling." Today, Lord, we ask for discernment. To know Your will and way in our lives, that we may bring glory and honour to You. To know which way is best. To know which way to go. To know whether to speak or to be silent. To know right from wrong. We must humble ourselves to do this, we want to hear Your still, small voice above anything else. With this in mind, we also request for Your Holy Spirit and angels to blanket us, to cover us and bring us to the right place to be, on our knees before You. To pour perfume, to receive of Your comfort, guidance and instruction. Amen, and glory hallelujah. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=YWrUjhMsUb8 1st Tishri Saturday 19th September Rosh Hashana Lord Of Patience Create In Me A Clean Heart 2 Kings 1 v1:17 Oh Lord, will it take fire to fall to make even Your children humble themselves and remember You? We know the grasslands burn, we know the sea rages, we know that the winds ravage the towns and cities, and all are subject to You, yet even Your children choose to go their own way, separate, arrogant, ignorant, proud. They see no leaders in a sea of equivalence. They hear no other voice than their own and think it enough to follow their gurus and guitar heroes from afar. You know the answer, Lord, and we ask You today to send Your holy fire, to rouse the children of Zion. You have shaken the foundations as You promised, now light the fires in the homes and the cities and let the burn increase until Your children remember You again, in Jesus's name, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=m_aqeklQZX0 https://youtube.com/watch?v=zKUMuEfi1b8 29th Elul Friday 18th September Rosh Hashana.

You have declared Yourself known in a world that continues to turn its way from You. Heavenly Father, tomorrow we will blow the Shofar for the coming of the New Year. Today we will lift up a noise to rouse Your children. The days shorten, the winter draws near, we look to You for provision and guidance and thank You for all that has come before.

What a glorious day that will be. What a blessing You have wrought for us with Your blood. Wretched, blind and dead in our sin, You gave us new life and washed us clean. Thank You, Father, for surely You have birthed us anew out of the grave. Thank You, Son, for You gave Your life so unreservedly that we might live, and thank You, Spirit, for You have healed us and made us whole again, a vessel worthy of being filled for the Father's glory.

Yet, Lord, even if we are at the beginning, we pray for Your church. The lives, the souls, for the disarming and silencing of the brackish waters, for the new life. We thank You for the struggles and the trials that will lead us home, Lord, and we rejoice in Your grace, the purposefulness and excellence of movement that leads You to lead us in the way of salvation, for Your name's sake. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=mGE7kngG27Q 26th Elul Tuesday 15th September 10, 000 Reasons O Come, All Ye Faithful Matthew 16 v24:27 Wow. What words of further encouragement do we need? The blessing of an open Heaven or the righteous judgement against our sin and shame? O Lord, help us lay down our burdens, the things that hold us back from living an upright and godly life. Not that we may become conceited or puffed up, but that we may honour You and be a light and example for others to do the same. Help us take up our Cross today, as once Simon the Cyrene helped You carry Yours. You did not need the help, yet You showed us how to be vulnerable and accepting. Thank You, Lord, amen. 25th Elul Monday 14th September He Is Risen How Deep The Father's Love For Us Matthew 5 v38:42 Holy Lord God, Maker of the Heavens and the Earth, lifter of our heads, we cry out to You. Help us overcome adversity according to Your will, according to Your heart's desire, that we may accord to You and be pleasing in Your sight. As Jesus, You issued clear instructions that transcended traditional understanding on many subjects. Here we are petitioned and encouraged to go further, to dig deeper, to overcome in forgiveness, love, understanding and correct recognition of who we are through You and in You, as You are through us and in us. Your gifts and Your sacrifice are what empower us, help us, this day, to be overcomers, in Spirit and Truth, for Your glory, amen. 24th Elul Sunday 13th September Consuming Fire Praise Adonai Psalm 35 v22:28 In a world of darkness and injustice Your children will be assailed, O Lord. In a society of selfish ambition and material achievement, those who go against and eschew these values will become targets for attack. Your people have ever suffered for their belief. Today, Lord, we raise a prayer in support of the Psalmist, "deliver Your children from persecution." Grant them leave and rest, that they may know the oasis of Your Shalom peace, the tent of Your Presence that gives refuge and comfort, even in the vilest of storms. We need the God of Israel, the firstborn of all creation, Yashua, Jesus to snatch us up, and to consume our enemies so that the place where we rest is presented clean and new. From horizon to horizon, Lord we pray, may only new and good things grow, for Your glory. You are Adonai, Prince of Peace, give us peace, we pray in Jesus's name, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=4UAu5KSc7Kc 23rd Elul Saturday 12th September Word Of God Speak Ancient Words ​Deuteronomy 15 v1:6 How privileged we are, to be able to converse with the King of Kings. Speak to us, dear Lord, this day and, above all, give us the unction, the wisdom and the desire to listen. We need You, and You have sent the Holy Spirit to be our Comforter, Counsellor and Guide.Help us quiet our souls, keep us from the distractions of the enemy, and his servants, and hold us close as You speak, dear Lord.What a blessing, what an honour, to know and hear the Lord's instruction! What a work of majesty and love that we can praise forever! Glory, hallelujah, Father God! Glory hallelujah, Holy Spirit! Glory, hallelujah, Jesus, our Messiah! Amen! 22nd Elul Friday 11th September Victory Belongs To Jesus I Stand Amazed In The Presence Matthew 26 v34:40 We are fortunate indeed that the victory belongs to You, Lord. You are the only One who could have won it, You are the only One who could secure it against a surviving foe. Today we damn all of Satan's machinations in our lives. Every snare, every trap, every bond, every chain, every distraction, every curse, every lie, be broken in the name and by the precious blood of Jesus. May the Word of God be a sword in our hands to cut away the Deceiver's sway, may the Spirit of God be power that gives us strength and courage to wield the same, until every cord is cut, and may the stripes of Jesus be more than sufficient in healing every tear and wound left by the Tempter's departure. For God's glory! For the Kingdom's coming! For the name of Jesus, our Lord and Saviour, amen! ​https://youtube.com/watch?v=GnEZyfzkJgs 21st Elul Thursday 10th September I Love Your Presence Christ Is Enough For Me Romans 5 v1:8 Your grace is sufficient, Lord of Lords. Your power beyond imagining. Your majesty beyond comprehension. Who is like You, Maker of the Heavens and the Earth? To whom should we compare You to? Instead of folly, let us accept truth and assurance today, Lord. You came to set the captives free. You came to overcome sin and the grave. As the Bible says, "O Death, where is your sting?" Help us discern the good from the bad, the truth from the lies, the narrow path from the broad way, in Jesus's name, by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Amen. 20th Elul Wednesday 9th September Reckless Love Thy God Reigneth Ephesians 6 v11:18 Loud and clear the watchman cry, proclaiming Your majesty, Your coming. Help us be ready, Lord, equipped for the fight. Thank You for providing us with such splendid armour, that we should be able to stand and withstand on the evil day, that we should be able to overcome the enemy and his minions come the day of open and total war. Even now, in the ebb and flow of the evil one's efforts, we can be victorious through the power of Christ in us. Greater is He that is in us, than he that is in the world. Be established on our prayer this day, Lord of Glory, amen. 19th Elul Tuesday 8th September I'm Gonna Clap My Hands ​As For Me And My House Psalm 139 To know You is to love You, Lord. You who made the sunshine and the morning, You who fashioned the flowers and planted the trees. You truly are the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings, the Maker of the Heavens and the Earth, all Creation sings Your praises. Lord, today help us align ourselves with You. In our homes, in our places of work, in our hearts and souls, in our relationship with others. Teach us the way we should go, lead us in reaching out to help others. Overcome our enemies. For Your glory, in Jesus's name, amen. 18th Elul Monday 7th September All For Love Shir Lama'alot Philippians 3 v6:11 Abba, Father. Give us the strength to count our previous lives as nothing, to let go of every strand that binds us to the life we led before we came to know You. Though the memory of that life may serve to remind us of the value of our Salvation, it is the influence we must shun and set aside. We may not have the words or the knowledge, but through Your Holy Spirit You can guide us and lead us along the narrow way. In a world filled with distractions and untruths, where the Devil himself twists our understandings, Yours is the way we want to follow. Be our Great Shepherd, Lord, be our Way, Truth and Life, be Jesus, Yeshua, Your Son, and speak gentle and firm words to shape us, as a potter shapes the clay, into vessels of Your love, for Your glory alone, amen. 17th Elul Sunday 6th September I Will Sing The Wondrous Story ​ The River Is Here Ezekiel 25 v11:17 Your vengeance, Lord. Will we rejoice in that day? Though we will have grieved throughout our lifetimes, though we will have prayed for every heart to turn towards You, there will be those who have stood against You, who have not found You to be enough. It is no coincidence that the scripture for today was not enough to satisfy the carnal hunger of one entertainer, that he needed to twist it's meaning to suit his character and story, for one of the most popular movies of all time. Such is the way of the lost. Even when the word speaks about them, even when You would give opportunity for change, there will be those who twist the truth away from themselves, that they need not feel ashamed. In that day will we rejoice over Your enemies, Lord? For they will have exacted a cost from each of us, they will have blasphemed against the Most Holy God. And all of that could have been forgiven and atoned for. Yet their hatred burned stronger. Will we rejoice in their demise? Thank You, Lord, for teaching us to forgive and love. Help us do this this day. Thank You for claiming vengeance for Your own exclusive right. You see clearly and deal fairly, far better than we could ever hope or understand to. Thank You, Lord for the days to follow, where the thought and memory of those who turned will be set aside forever. Amen. 16th Elul Saturday 5th September Higher Higher He's The Saviour Of My Soul ​ Psalm 74 v9:18 The next line of this scripture reads, "do not deliver the soul of Your dove to the wild animals.." O Lord, You said that You will neither leave us or forsake us! We are truly sorry for our wretched estate, this dark world's countenance towards You. We are not a bride befitting the bridegroom. Help us, Lord, teach us, Lord. You are the Lord that saves, You are the mighty God of Israel. You have loved us first, Lord, set us straight again in Jesus's mighty name, amen. 15th Elul Friday 4th September We Bow Down King Of Kings John 6 v7:12 You will bless Your children, Lord of Hosts. You will feed them and they will be satisfied. Today, Lord, we ask of our daily bread from You. The bread from heaven, the new life, Jesus, Your Son. Through Your Holy Spirit, the Spirit He surrendered on the Cross, You can speak and feed each of us directly, as intimately as a mother suckles her child. May we rest in You peacefully, to hear Your voice. For Your glory, in Jesus's name. Amen, heavenly father, amen and glory hallelujah. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=xpG8ZDjY8i8 14th Elul Thursday 3rd September All For Love Thy Will Be Done 1 John 5 v5:11 To be saved, Lord, is to be remade, renewed. However, Your apostle, Paul says that the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Today, Lord, help us crucify the flesh. Our carnal nature must not be our leadership and guide, but Your Word and Your example we need to follow in obedience. The ground upon which we stand in this will become stable as we stand. You will be with us, You will strengthen us. Heavenly Father, we delight in You, help this be our only delight for a time, for Your glory, in Jesus's name, amen. 13th Elul Wednesday 2nd September Potter's Hand I Surrender Ezekiel 18 v25:32 You are clear, Lord, there can be no misunderstanding. When You were manifest in Your creation as Jesus, the Christ, You spoke to many people the words, "Go! And sin no more." In the book of Romans Your apostle, Paul, warns us that the wages of sin are death. You are Just. You are faithful, You are True, Lord. You do not change, You do not make mistakes. So, where Your word declares repentance for salvation, we need to repent and turn from sin to be saved. Help us in this, today, Lord. That we may start afresh, that we may overcome and align ourselves with You once again, for Your glory, by Your grace and for the coming of Your Kingdom on the earth. Amen. ​ 12th Elul Tuesday 1st September All Who Are Thirsty Cry Holy Romans 4 v1:14 Lord of Hosts, it is a mark of the splendour of Your creation that each of Your subjects is unique. How could we honour Your feat of counting every hair on every head when, with a flick of Your will, You could have made us all have the same. Awesome God, help us trust in Your judgement.Though we must be clear in speaking the truth if people live their lives in contradiction of Your instruction, we need only say it once. The warning must be made, but from there the responsibility lays with the offender. We are to let them be and continue in love and prayer, trusting in You. We must remain as examples of the good work that You have wrought in us, that we may be blameless before witnesses. We are partakers at Your table, we are clay in Your hands, we were once lost, lonely, broken and afraid. It is Your work, Your victory, Your glory, Lord of Hosts, amen. ​ 11th Elul Monday 31st August Casa Del Dios Great Are You Lord Leviticus 26 v1:9 How deep and resplendent is Your love towards Your chosen people. How much greater the love and promise that You have fashioned for each of us. You are, in deed, great, O Lord. Yet the greater love has exacted a price, one that only You could pay, and You paid it in full, without reserve, for a rebellious and wicked people, lost in sin. Lord, today we once again commit our lives to You, and pray to be effective ambassadors to our brothers and sisters, that they too may receive the benefits of the Kingdom, and the glory and honour of Your name may increase. May we be ready with words of testimony and comfort, may we be strong and courageous if there is need for a word of truth, may Your angels robe around us and keep us from the threats and accusations of the Evil One. For Your glory, Father, amen. 10th Elul Sunday 30th August Sing, Sing, Sing Rejoice Isaiah 40 v6:31 Who is like You in all the Earth. Mighty God of Abraham? The oil flows, the world turns and all of Heaven declares Your righteousness. What is not to like? To give thanks for? To Love beyond measure, beyond life? Today, Lord, we praise You. For all that You have done. For all that You are doing. For all that You will do. We thank You for every mote and speck that has led us towards You, we love You because You first loved us. You are worthy, worthy, worthy, Lord. Amen.

A prayer from outside and within, to not be errant or found wanting. To align ourselves with You and the example You set through Your Son, Jesus Christ. We will be tested and tried as believers. We will be tried in fire and storm, tempest and raging seas. What we pray for is Your overcoming. In us and through us, for Your glory. Be lifted up, Son of God, no longer on a Cross with nails, but lifted in love and recognition for who You are and what You have done, and will do, for the Father's glory. You and the Father are One. Amen. 8th Elul Friday 28th August Leaning On My Beloved You Are Worthy Of It All Mark 15 v33:39 Worthy, worthy, worthy, Lord God Almighty. All good things come from You, all good things return to You. Lord, we turn to You today, we lift up our hands and praise Your name, the name above all names, the name of Jesus, Isa, Yeshua. There is no place better to be, than at Your feet. Lift us, guide us, keep us, hold us, send us. We are captivated by Your majesty, surrendered to Your might, stunned by Your humility and grace. Do with us as You will, for Your glory, High King of Heaven. Glory hallelujah, glory amen. ​ 7th Elul Thursday 27th August Onward Christian Soldiers Fight The Good Fight 1 Samuel 15 v10:23 ​Lord God, Maker of the Heavens and the Earth, Your Bible commends us to work out our salvation in fear and trembling. There can be no greater fear apparent than the idea of, having once had a relationship with You, losing our sense of connection and completeness with You. How it causes us to tremble! How it causes us to fear! Help us take courage to defend Your Word. Help us stand up and turn from the things that You detest, O Lord! Help us lay ourselves down at the foot of the Cross, obedient to You, at the place of complete surrender. That we may rise again with You, Your Son, Jesus, to glory in this life and beyond. Thank You, Lord, praises to You Saviour, glory to You, Author and Finisher of works. Amen. 6th Elul Wednesday 26th August Here I Am To Worship This Is The Air I Breathe Joshua 2 v15:21 O Lord of Hosts, Lord of the Heavenly Armies, we are desperate for You. As with the spies in Jericho, we plead a harlot's help in our deliverance. That she may be counted amongst the Lord's inheritance, that the scarlet thread may run through each of us, from time immemorial. As You delivered your people into the promised land of Canaan, so You have gone on ahead of us to prepare a place for us in paradise. "Onward," we say. "Upward!" You call. And we come, running, Lord! Amen! Glory hallelujah! For the Father's glory! For the coming of Your Kingdom upon the earth! Amen! https://youtube.com/watch?v=UNSUQdyhDKU 5th Elul Tuesday 25th August O Come, All Ye Faithful Revelation Song Matthew 11 v7:19 A glutton and a drunkard. No better words had the self righteous for the Son of God. How hungry and quick were they to condemn, scratching around for the splinter in the eye, whilst ignoring the plank in their own. Jesus of Nazareth was spotless before them. Blameless. Perfect. The fulfilment of every prophecy, the essence and person of God Himself, given over to be presented as a lamb for the slaughter. A perfect and permanent fulfilment of the Law. What is it in man's nature that causes him to deny the simple and the obvious when it pains him? When it asks questions of himself? When it causes him to realise that he is in the wrong team? Representing the wrong truth? Is it not easier to repent? To accept? To love with a love that transcends all others? Lord, we pray for an unburdening today. For a straightening out. For release. That those who would read this message and pray this prayer, who would consider this scripture, who would be buoyed up by this music, would receive of the simple and obvious truth. That Jesus was and is the Messiah. Amen. 4th Elul Monday 24th August There Is A Redeemer I Exalt Thee Acts 12 v18:24 ​ O Lord of Lords and King of Kings, You are worthy of all praise. Today, Lord, we ask for help. We surrender ourselves at Your feet. Where we are overwhelmed, where we cannot make a way, where we hunger or thirst, where we despair, You can overcome. Where we fail, You can deliver. Where we drown, You can lift us up above the waves. We are sorry for what we have done to get like this, and we do not rest comfortably relying on You alone. Yet You are God, and we are not, and we come to You and lift up the things before You that we need help with. We will glorify and testify to Your goodness, grace and mercy, Lord. Where You overcome, we will seek to show the world rejoicing, at the mention of Your name. Glory hallelujah! Hosanna! Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=ca2mXA7kdVc 3rd Elul Sunday 23rd August Isaiah 40 Song Precious Oil 1 Chronicles 29 v14:19 A temple of praise. A temple of worship. A temple of sacrifice. A temple worthy of Your inhabitance. Not vain words recited in exultation of personal gratification, not a place to come and get whatever we want, not a place to take from in perpetuity for our material gain, not a place of religious and pious perfection, bound by rule following. We are to be as children before You, laying down every air and crown at the feet of the one whose voice calmed the sea. Mighty God, Lord of Lords and King of Kings, remind us of our relationship, help us be a living temple, filled with the fruits and fragrance of Your grace and favour. No matter how many times the serpent writhes, or the worm turns, help us remain constant, in faith and love with You. For Your glory, in Jesus's name and by the power of Your Holy Spirit.

And You decided to love us with a love that transcends all other love, a love not bounded by limits or caveats, a love strong enough to set us free. Thank You, Lord, for all that You intended to do, thank You, Jesus, for bringing about the necessary change, and thank You, Holy Spirit for being our ever present Guide, Comfort and Counsel.

We do not want to be under delusion or deceit that tells us to be comfortable in this world that we live in, we want to live the life that You have called us to lead, that we can enter in to Your glory and eternal rest on the day of Your Second Coming. Mighty God, please be active through Your spirit and give us counsel on any wrong ways that we pursue, and any barriers that we have to receiving the fullness of Your blessing in our lives.

You have given us so much, You have blessed us beyond measure, You have given us hope and a future, is it so much that You ask of us to proclaim Your name and Your teachings to a world that is so needful of salvation? Comfort, guide and counsel us through Your Holy Spirit, Lord, equip us with words, pack and sword, and encourage us, weak and stupid as we often are, to step forward as warriors of God.

Your words, Your will, Your way. An open road to Your presence, Your dwelling place, that all who are prepared to lay down their lives may come.

Yet You have set Yourself on a course and a path. You will see it to the end, You will achieve what You set out to do, You alone are wholly faithful and true. You will redeem mankind.

Lord of Heaven, King of Kings, Maker of Heaven and Earth, help us this day lay down every thing that we hold against You. Every idol, every sensual, secret pleasure.

Help us Lord, this day, to examine ourselves, to reflect on Your Word, that we may identify any and every burden that we carry and lay them down before You. You have paid the price, You have carried the Cross, You have been sacrificed upon that cursed tree, for the salvation of mankind, for the forgiveness of sin, for the payment of the debt that no man or woman could ever pay in full. That is why we must acknowledge You, that is why we must bow down to You. You did this that every person may be saved. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess this, willingly or not, when You come. How much better it is to choose to do this now than wait until the day we will be forced because there is nothing else but You and us in the world? Lord of Lights! Son of God, who is God!

In a world that is lost and cursed, only in You can we be found and freed. Today, Lord, we press into this. Into Your promise, into the new found freedom, for Your glory.

Lord, help us make today one of these days, that we may set aside time and busyness and contemplate the things that You are doing in our lives each and every day. Help us, like the song says, count them. Help us, like the other song says, give thanks for them.

Thank You for the opening of Your scriptures, thank You for the sending of Your Son. It is our final prayer in this series that You teach us to withhold nothing from You. You see all and know all, there is no place that we can hold back the least of things from You, not physically or spiritually. All good things come from You, all things that we should not have can be surrendered to You for burning in the fire. Lord this is our prayer, save us, take all that we have, not in payment, but in honour of who You are and what You have done. We pray this in Jesus's name, for Your glory, and the coming of Your Kingdom upon the earth.

O Lord, who is the Most High, how is it Your people are given over to grumbling and complaint? Help us today to look for the good things, to count our many blessings, to be at peace and wait patiently for the things that You have promised to deliver. We must put our trust in You. We must recognise who You are and acknowledge You for it.

It binds us like a strap. It drags us down. It cuts us off. Today, Lord, we undertake to set time aside and devote it to forgiveness. To seek and picture those areas and faces that we need to forgive. From childhood. From work. From times past, from times present. Help us, Lord, remember. Help us to uphold. Encourage us to forgive. Where the wounds are fresh, let them heal. Where the wounds are deep, soothe them towards forgetfulness. Above all, where they are close to us, unlike the elder son of the parable, help us reach out. In truth, in love, in affection, in remembrance of times prior, for Your glory, for Your name's sake, Jesus. You have forgiven us our transgressions, how much more should we forgive those who wrong us? For the Father's glory, amen. ​ 10th Av Friday 31st July Theme: Moral Challenge -> Seven Days of Overcoming Sin Yahweh Praise You In This Storm Luke 12 v31:32 Fourth Challenge: Stop trying to conform God to your will and start conforming yourself to His. Oh Lord, in the good times and the bad times we will praise You. You do not change, You are the same from everlasting to everlasting. Holy Lord, there are times when we challenge You. There are times when we are stubborn with You. There are times when we are wilful, even disobedient. Father of Lights, teach us to conform to Your will. You are worthy. You have paid the price. You loved us first. You have called us home. May nothing that You ask be too small that we would not do it, let nothing be so large that we cannot overcome.

Help us and give us strength today, Lord, to guard our thoughts and minds against the entrapment of the Enemy. What is not ours to possess, help us recognise and turn away. We are not perfect, and the efforts of the enemy may be manifold, but we are not without ability to call Your name and turn away. You have given us this promise, that You will always give us a way out, a way to overcome in Your name. Servants, bedfellows, companions, all are counted as vanity if we do not put You first in relationships.

For the stewards and caretakers, the workers in the cities and the fields, in the places of worship, in the palaces, in the homes. For those who make and mend, dig and build, capture or hold, in Jesus's name, we raise a prayer. And for those, who eschew the way of this world, yet toil at the same things for Your name and for Your glory, we raise a prayer also, a prayer of cheer and deliverance, mercy and grace, provision and solace. Lord of Hosts, our prayer for the first is that they become like the latter, that they trust in their heart to all that You have given them, and that they understand that all that we do is a testimony to Your forgiveness and grace. Thank You, Heavenly Father, for hearing our prayer, thank You, Lord of Hosts, for delivering us out of the hand of the Destroyer. in Jesus's name we pray, amen. 6th Av Monday 27th July I Will Sing The Wondrous Story I Believe 1 Corinthians 14 v7:13 Amazing Lord, Maker of the Heavens and the Earth, You have furnished Your children with a diversity of gifts. You have equipped them with methods to increase and share their access and expression of Your will, word and power. Heavenly Father, help us this day to seek and access these gifts, for Your glory alone. Words in faith and season, prophecy, tongues, healings and other miracles, all can give witness to Your truth and authority. Above all, impress upon us the idea that there is no need to fake such things, that discernment, trust and faith are needed to truly manifest Your Holy Spirit's power. In Jesus's name we pray this, with thanksgiving, amen. 5th Av Sunday 26th July City Of Elohim (Psalm 48) Yield My Heart 1 Corinthians 4 v1:5 You, Lord, we wait on You. There is no other way.

To know peace and restoration, a place of inheritance, a place of safe and secure refuge from our foes. In the depth of that peace and protection, may our enemies turn their attention elsewhere.

Though I may want company, comfort, support, warmth, love, friendship, companionship, hope, the responsibility rests with me. I call for Your help, Lord, yes, but the choice is mine alone. That is how You made us. That is freedom. that is true, total, just and merciful love. A love that transcends all others, a love worthy of respect, loyalty and praise. Lord, humble us this day, and pray for us to choose Your path, we pray, amen. 25th Tamuz Friday 17th July I Will Sing The Wondrous Story Beautiful Saviour Genesis 26 v12:22 O wonderful You are, Saviour of mankind. You poured out Your life, You left the sanctity of heaven, You went down into the grave, You died, You were pierced. You call us to obedience, Lord. It is a small price to pay, a light burden to carry. You direct our ways, even as we choose our path. We are desperate to be on the right path though, Lord. Even where this means a journey through struggles, we know that the eventually You will lead and guide us to our Rehoboth. Though this need not be our place of final resting, we will know the bounty of following and serving the living God. Thank You, King Jesus, for all that You have done, are doing and will do. You give us the courage to face this and every day, in Your name, for the Father's glory.

He was Your Enemy first. He hated You and worked to destroy Your creation and, though He tested You utterly, You overcame him. That is why we say, "The battle belongs to the Lord." Through Your Son, Jesus, You have won the victory. First You removed Satan from Heaven, then You wrestled the authority over the earth from his grasp. You sacrificed Your Son to pay the ransom demanded by this foul accuser. You sprung his trap, when he looked for his prize it was gone again and returned to Heaven. Satan has won nothing, gained nothing. All he has ever done is steal, kill and destroy. As we don the whole armour today, and each day, we continue to fight for and against those who stand against You. They are deceived. Be they powers or potentates, people or fools, Satan has lied to them. And we will fight for them against them, for Your glory, God. That they may be saved, that those they have influence over may be released. From false prophets, from curses, from idols, from demonic oppression, from witchcraft. Perfect love casts out all fear, and we claim victory in the name of Jesus this day, and every day, until He comes again to reaffirm it once and forever. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=AI3VcChbPBY https://youtube.com/watch?v=aIdZ5KRiakM 23rd Tamuz Wednesday 15th July Theme: Putting On The Whole Armour (Ephesians 6 v14:18) Thy Will Be Done Testimony here.

Your word is a light to our feet and a lamp to our path, Your word is sharper than the sharpest two edged sword, according to the scriptures, even to the dividing our innermost thoughts and desires. We desire to wield such power for Your glory, but we must be aware that a sword cuts both ways, that if we choose to judge, we too will be judged. You have raised a standard, and that standard is perfect. Jesus. Your Son. By His stripes we are healed, by His standard we will be measured. Glory hallelujah, King of Kings and Lord of Lords! How great is Your name in all the earth! Even the demons know the name of Jesus, and they flee at His voice and command.

This is the truth of our salvation, the assurance that You are who You say You are. That Your Son, Jesus, paid the price, once and for all, is the steel helmet, fixed to protect our mind from every calamity or disaster, every blunt instrument conjured by our enemy, the Devil. God did this, through the precious blood of His Son, and this atonement sacrifice was acceptable to Him. Glory hallelujah. Begone, foul spirit, you are set aside for destruction. Thank You, beautiful Saviour, who saved us whilst we were yet sinners.

These words once proceeded a saint and his family to glory in the furthest reaches of the Indian sub continent. The Cross is our shield with which we extinguish every fiery dart of the Enemy. Satan is an accuser. He is a liar and a murderer. He stirs many to come against those called, appointed and anointed to take up God's standard. Yet, through the power of the Cross we have the victory. Jesus has made a way. The old account is settled, the jurisdiction of Satan's Kingdom over the hearts and lives of men has been lifted. As we raise the cross in our defence, we claim that victory that Jesus, in His goodness, has shared with us. We are soldiers. We are bondservants, we choose to raise the cross as a banner against the Enemy, against all that he stands for and represents. Even though we are in the world, we are not of it. "The Cross before us, the world behind us," is our banner, our cry and our praise today. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=0fZ-tBR7LJ0 19th Tamuz Saturday 11th July Theme: Putting On The Whole Armour (Ephesians 6 v14:18) Be Still My Soul Healer John 6 v1:15 You said, "Peace I leave with you." The angels that announced Your birth said, "Peace on earth and good will to all men." In You is perfect peace. Feet shod or dressed and standing in that place of peace will not be moved by an unseen foe, will be swift to move when commanded by the Living God. Will be sure footed and will not slip, whatever the terrain. Help us to stand in that peace today, Lord. How fitting that this should be on Your Sabbath's rest. May we be strengthened in our position, may we be relaxed in our stance, may we be calm whatever the odds or the situation, may we breathe deeply and slowly. Thank You, God, for Your excellent composure. You are God Almighty. If You are with us, what can stand against?

This is not a garment of fashion. This is the boldness that protects our heart. Not a lie should go unchallenged, not a belligerent foe go without answer. Help us Lord, in strength and truth, to discern the right time to step forward, the right way to issue challenge. Let not the enemy taunt us into exhaustion. In a world fraught with the workings of the deceiver, help us be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves, trusting in You, Lord, to fight our battles, stepping into the fray so that You can come near to the enemy. Help us be as David was, a man after Your heart, in Jesus's name.

Today we gird and guard our loins against the power of the Enemy. Our most vital and tender parts, wrapped in the truth that You died and rose again, that the Father's heart is set towards us, that Your truth has set us free from sin and death. Help us, Lord, come before the throne of the One, True, Living God naked and pure, that we can offer a sacrifice of praise in Your name.

Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=3b2qkWnzYhE 16th Tamuz Wednesday 8th July Bind Us Together Victory Belongs To Jesus 1 John 5 v4 Yes, Mighty Lord God of Israel, the victory is Yours. Total, complete, everlasting, true. There is no caveat, word or deed sufficient to lessen the magnitude of Your victory in any way. Death is defeated. Sin is defeated. Satan is defeated. Our slavery is abolished. Our punishment is negated. Our ransom is paid. Jesus has done this. No other. He has done this because it was the only way that we could be saved. He has done this that no man may boast of his works or deeds. He has done this as a complete and finished work, that will remain so forever. What is left is this brief sojourn whilst the devil is set aside for destruction, and the Creator of Heaven and Earth accomplishes His desire to return His sheep to the sheepfold. He knows the name of each and every one, and He will see it done, just as He has worked out everything else that He ever promised, according to His perfect will. The victory belongs to Jesus, and we the redeemed rejoice with Him today, for the Father's glory, and the Good News that many will join us to be called home for His Name's sake. Amen. 15th Tamuz Tuesday 7th July Thy Will Be Done Do It Again Psalm 105 v26:37 ​It is all about You, Lord of Lords and King of Kings. You have never failed, You have overcome. You led the captives out of Egypt, through the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus, we have a place at the table, for His name's sake. Mighty God, in receiving there is a danger. We may become conceited, puffed up, vain. It is not because we are better. Not because we have earned greatness. Not because we never sinned. We pray against this conceit today. It is Your grace. Freely given, that no man may boast, that all may receive of the greatest gift of all. We choose to eat and drink from Your hand, Father. We choose to surrender all that we are into the same. You are wise, You have moved the heavens and the earth, and You will do again. Call us home, bring us in singing, Mighty God of Israel. Not a place. Not a historical group, but a people, beloved and betrothed by You, to the point of shedding Your precious blood. You do not need a Son, Mighty God. We need You to have one. Thank You, Jesus. Amen. 14th Tamuz Monday 6th July He Is Faithful Psalm 19 Matthew 13 v31:32 My King, You are more desirable than gold. Who can craft so much from so little? Who is Your equal when You can forgive a wretch like me? Thank You, Lord. Today we press for that transitional growth. Whatever season we are in now, we press forward to enter the next, for Your glory. As the seed sprouting forth out of the soil, as the sapling sending out its first branches, as the yeast leavening the whole lump, we press forward in the hope of speaking and sharing the gospel, as agents for Your Holy Spirit. Lord, if we go without You we will fail and fall. We pray for You to go with us, as Your children, surrendered at Your feet. In Jesus's name, amen. 13th Tamuz Sunday 5th July Love Knows No End Amazing Grace Isaiah 1 v19:20 Lord of all the earth, we shout Your name. King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Yahweh, Adonai, El Shaddai, we lift You up in endless praise. You are God alone, we are Your unworthy bondservants, bought at a price; a price we could never hope to repay. Everything in our expression of worship, sacrifice and acknowledgement is to give thanks to You. This is no small thing, as You have conferred upon us the fullness of Your grace, mercy, compassion and blessing in the forgiving of our sins and redeeming us back unto You. Please, Lord, guard this gift. Help us not do works for greater or better reward; for what, in all creation, is as precious as the life of Your Son? All praise, glory and honour to You alone, Mighty God, beautiful Saviour, most Holy Spirit, amen. 12th Tamuz ​Saturday 4th July Holy Days Of Elijah Exodus 40 v1:10 O Lord, if we are to behold Your coming, we must be ready. In days of old You gave detailed instructions for the consecration of the Tabernacle, for the ritual cleansing of all the things therein. Although we have been freed from the many laws of preparation, the message from Your angel in the Last Days is, "Get ready! Get ready! Get ready!" Help us, this day and every day, sense and understand what we need to do. In preparing ourselves, in girding our loins, in putting on the whole armour. In prayer and petition, Lord, give us words to speak that will help usher in Your Kingdom, to make welcome Your Spirit, to stand and give testimony to Your transforming power. As in the days of Ezekiel, give these dry bones flesh we pray, for Your glory, in the name of Your Son, Jesus, who is the Messiah, amen. 11th Tamuz Friday 3rd July King Of Heaven He Is Faithful 1 Corinthians 1 v21:25 Mighty God. Adonai. El Shaddai. You are above all things, You are through all things. Because You are all we see, we come complacent and turn away from You. We become distracted or obsessed by the things that are not of You. Yet You do not change. You knew our hearts and our ways from before time began. How then do you react? By smashing us? By breaking apart all that was created? All that is Yours by right? No. Instead, You have a yearning, a desire. You have paid the price. You have made a way. What seems like foolishness to those outside of Your Kingdom, what is a stumbling block to those who have heard and seen the things of Your Kingdom, is that Jesus of Nazareth was and is the Christ, was and is and is to come. No second guesses, no other. The same yesterday, today and tomorrow. The One who came to set the captives free. That is why Your name is awesome. That is why Your name is the Name Above All Names.

But only the truth of our Lord, Jesus, the Christ, can bring us into the Kingdom of God. Not works, not devotions, not fine words, not money. Only through You. Your leading, Your Spirit. The enemy, Satan, tries to picture you as Mother Earth, as Gaia, as poles, as an equivalence, but, in truth, there is none like You. Not before, not after, not during. You are God alone, and You will be known as this before the end. Come, Lord Jesus, come, Spirit of the Living God, pour out a libation, a draught, a blessing like no other, that all the world may see Your face. In Your name we pray, for the glory of the Father, and the coming of His Kingdom upon the earth.

You alone know our thoughts and deeds, You alone see clearly the heart of women and men. Today, Lord, let us examine ourselves with clarity.

You are God. There is none like You, none before You. Heavenly Father, please give us words to say when addressing those who speak openly against You. Who try and discredit Your works, who try and refute Your Son. We need Your Holy Spirit to speak through us. We do not want to be like the Pharisee and the Tax Collector, filled with self righteousness, we pray for words that still offer the salvation that You have poured out for all that would come to your Name, to all that would call upon the name of Jesus. Help us Lord, we pray, amen. 6th Tamuz Sunday 28th June Come To Me Be Still Isaiah 40 v29:31 To be still and know that You are God. To stand on Your promises, to trust and obey.

On this Sabbath day, help us rest and find rest in You, for You alone are worthy of all honour, glory and praise. Teach us, guide us, comfort us, keep us, correct us, rebuke us. Shape us to be more like Your Son, Jesus, the Messiah. We are Yours alone. In Jesus's name we raise this prayer, for Your glory and the coming of Your Kingdom upon the earth. Amen. Glory hallelujah.

We have put off our old ways, let us and help us not take up in those ways again. The Bible, Your Holy Word, tells us that we are new creations in Christ Jesus. He has paid and was sacrificed for our sins, we surrender our lives to Him out of love and respect for who He is and what He has done. Thank You, Lord for giving us Your Son, thank You for sending Him to die that we might live, even though we did not deserve it. Glory hallelujah!

We have a calling to battle, we have a calling to war, yet the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, our battle is not with flesh and blood. Today, Lord, give us the peace and confidence to walk into the fight with the calm assurance of Your victory. As the scripture says, "let not our hearts be troubled." You are sovereign, You are with us, You are coming soon. Help us pull on the full armour and to take up the sword of Your Word, and to bless and forgive others in this cold, dark world, as You have blessed and forgiven us.

You have been so patient with us. Throughout the ages, through our struggle with sin, in every time of doubt and struggle. You are patient, You are kind. Lord of Hosts, help us not stiffen our necks towards You. Help us to let go of the valueless, worthless things, to seek the treasures that You are so willing to give to Your children. Righteousness leading to effective prayer, for Your name's sake. Calmness that breeds peaceful blessing in times of distress. Peace with which to set people's minds and hearts at ease.

Be patient again, Loving God, in Jesus's name, amen. 1st Tamuz Tuesday 23rd June Lifter Of My Head I Need You Job 2 v11:13 Studies here and here. Lord, we all need the initial comfort of true friends. Yet teach us, Lord, to heed the warning of Job's story, that even close friends can chase after their own hearts or be subject to their own fears. Their desire to see us return to be the person that they are comfortable with may not reflect Your desire to become more like Your Son, Jesus. It is in You alone we need to place our trust. As the Psalmist sings, "You are our refuge, You are the lifter of our heads." Help us press in, recognise and build right relationships with our friends. Help us look to You before giving advice, to discern rightly that which will extol, encourage and build as opposed to that which cheaply satisfies, steals or destroys. You are our Father in Heaven, You sent Your Son and Spirit that even we could heed and hear from You. Thank You, Father, for all that You have done, are doing and will do, we surrender ourselves at the foot of the cross once again today, in Jesus's name, amen. 30th Sivan Monday 22nd June Jesus I Need You At Your Name 2 Corinthians 12 v5:9 Yes, Lord, giving praise and thanks we declare Your name, the Name Above All Names, to the nations.

Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=yMji7TypHOI 29th Sivan Sunday 21st June I Surrender All With All I Am Acts 5 v33:39 Israelite. The very name means 'one who wrestles with God.' There can be no contest, You are Mighty God, El Shaddai. You overcame Leviathan and Rahab, You conquered sin and the grave. Even at your weakest and most vulnerable, You defeated Satan and took back the authority of this world with You to Heaven. Amazing God, awesome God, we do not want to fight against You. Let Your will and way be done in our lives. Help us surrender the things that hinder our walk with You, help us let go of the unnecessary and the fruitless, in Jesus's name, for Your glory and the coming of Your Kingdom upon the world. Amen. 28th Sivan Saturday 20th June Every Praise Great Are You Lord 1 Kings 18 v1:19 O, Lord of Heaven and the Earth, teach us to be reverent to You. Whatever the cuts or the cracks, we would rather be reverent to You than reverent to others. We do not want to be careless or ignorant, we want to walk, act and speak uprightly, for the glory of the one, true, living King in Heaven, Jesus, our Messiah. You alone are worthy of all praise. We do not have words enough to express how thankful we are that You are mindful of us, Lord, let alone that You would come and surrender Your life that we may live again. Yet, for Your Kingdom and Your glory, we ask that You strip us and prune us to speak words according to Your will. In Jesus's name we pray this, amen. 27th Sivan Friday 19th June Song Of Solomon Spirit Of The Living God Jeremiah 12 v5:14 Heavenly Father, King of Heaven, o how we need Your tender touch.

Pluck us from amongst the thorns, and place us once again in the fertile, pleasant earth. You help us overcome, You have known our weaknesses and our failings from the beginning. Our hearts, though, rise when You enter the room, when You show us the way, when You call us home. Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Jesus, thank You, Holy Spirit.

O Lord, we pray for those who harden their hearts and set their faces against You. Your Son came for each and every one of us, Your Word says that You love the world so much, that is the earth, the nations and all the of the people in it. We love You, and we love them, and we pray for a miracle that You once performed in each of us. A softening, an answering and a yearning to know You, that once blossomed so beautifully in each of us, for each of them.

For Your excellence alone, You reveal Yourself as worthy. In scripture and in prophecy we see Your all sufficiency, Your knowledge of all things, past, present and future. Yet You have not placed us on a path that cannot be deviated from. You have expressed a desire to work through and with Your children, that they may receive the fullest expression of Your provision, life and uprightness separate, yet in total relationship, with You. In this life as penitent prayer warriors, in the next as children of permanent and everlasting peace. Thank You, Lord, for Your excellency, Your purpose, Your faithfulness, Your will.

It is, in every aspect, fiercely and brutally beautiful.We know that the world was cursed for the sin that all men would commit. We know that we must strive to obtain a living from it. Yet, it is fair. And it has never been fairer than the days when You walked amongst us. It is hard to imagine, even with all the movies and the other technology, You standing and walking and teaching and preaching, and yet You did. It is impossible to imagine just how beautiful the new world will be. Thank You for this one, the food, the air, the sunshine, the rain and we look forward to the next one. You are truly a wonderful and masterful Creator. You reign, Lord! You rule Lord! There is none to compare You to, so far above all other things as You are. Thank You, dear Lord, thank You.

Be our light and guide, Lord, help us in our time of distress and trouble.

You cause us to take them up again, to be lights upon a hillside, to be vessels for Your Spirit, to be cups that run over into a world that is dry and thirsty for Your love. Equip, us lead us, guide us, King of Heaven! It is so excellent and such a privilege to know You and to serve You. Thank You for overcoming our stubborn hearts, Lord, please overcome the stubborn hearts that are close to us also, that the name of Jesus can be shared and raised in prayer and blessing throughout the kingdoms and nations of the earth.

Thank You for this time of praise and reflection, yes, but let us also press for a laying down of all things to come before You, to seek Your face, to listen for Your voice.

O Lord of Lords, Mighty God, Maker of the Heavens and the Earth, You spoke hard truths to those that would hear Your voice, You spoke hard truths to those who would turn from You in selfishness, anger and fear. Help us, Lord, we pray, to discern and to follow You. Whatever the cost, whatever the anguish, whatever the trial, whatever the persecution, whatever the loss, all will be less than what You were prepared to pay. All will be counted as filthy rags compared to what You have in store for those that follow You. As much as it pains us, this is the road we want to travel. Not for favour, not for power, not for reward, but for the simple truth that You are our God, that You loved us first. We can only imagine how You will lift us from the miry clay, that cloys and clogs our every move here on earth, yet in the blessed assurance of Your word we find cause to leap and dance, to shout out for joy and praise You, in chains, in rags, in tears.

A house divided against itself will not stand. Clear words, Lord, words You spoke in truth about the kingdom of Satan. Where division is, there Satan is also, seeking, like a lion, for someone to devour. Today, Lord, we call upon the power of Your Holy Spirit to overcome the forces of Satan in our lives. In spirits that influence and tease; in bonds and traps and snares; in prayers, curses, witchcraft and magic. We call You to be sovereign over all, we call You to rebuke, muzzle and cast out. "Not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord." Lord of Hosts, blaze Your glory in our sanctuaries this night. May Your angels be with us, may Your glory cover us, may Your enemies be laid to rest, may they go into the bellies of pigs and be set aside for destruction.

Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=eFByOX8Fb0M ​ 28th Iyyar Friday 22nd May Float Healer ​Luke 23 v11:18 It is incredible to us, Lord, that, during Your trial and captivity, You did not summon the powers to set You free and over Your accusers. Yet You went as a sheep to the slaughter, without saying a word to Herod, or Pilate on your return. You were fulfilling prophecy. You were fulfilling scripture. You were going a way that no other could travel, to achieve what no other could achieve, for all mankind. Today we petition You for help that You did not furnish upon Yourself. Where we are in trouble, where we are sick, where we are drowning. Help us have and hold to the value of our release, not as Barabbas, but as sons and daughters of the Most High, freed to live again for His name, the name above all names. Thank You for hearing our prayers, thank You for sending Your Son, in whose name we pray, Jesus, amen. ​ 27th Iyyar Thursday 21st May To Worship You I Live Lord Of All Hopefulness John 3 v16 Oh Lord, who created the Heavens and the Earth, how often we have read this text.

Then Help us, Lord, worship You afresh for all that You are. In Jesus's name we pray, amen. 26th Iyyar Wednesday 20th May No bonuses for doing the dance moves, but whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God! Hallelujah! Every Move I Make Deep Cries Out Romans 8 v23:25 Teach us patience, Lord! You are coming. You are unfolding Your plan. You have said it, it will happen. Help us rejoice as when we first received. Help us maintain our faith. You are who you say You are, You have come and You will come again. Help us shake off the heavy burdens of this world, the shreiks and snares of the enemy, the heavy blanket of despondency that is placed over all the world to distract us and dishearten us. We cry out to You, Jesus, Name Above All Names, for the Father's glory, by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Amen! https://youtube.com/watch?v=hBbodLCDpEI 25th Iyyar Tuesday 19th May The Air I Breathe I Am A Friend Of God Matthew 7 v8:11 Father, Saviour, Redeemer, King. We look to You and celebrate You this day. You have called us. We have answered. Mighty God! Awesome King! We can ask in Your name and receive. Help us choose wisely. Help us to remain humble. You are the Perfect One, the Shining One, You are God alone. Thank You for sending Your Son, thank You for sending Your Spirit. All glory, honour and praise to You, forever, amen. 24th Iyyar Monday 18th May Come To The River Casa Del Dios John 1 v39:42 All are called, few are chosen. Lord of Hosts, such is said in Your written Word. Today we come to make our application afresh, to lift hands and hearts and voices to You. To worship You for who You are, to acknowledge You, to bow down before You, to surrender ourselves at Your feet. You are the life giver, the way maker. The light and the life of truth. God, our Father, help us align ourselves with You. In Jesus's name, by the power of Your Holy Spirit. There is no place that we would rather be, than at Your feet. Amen. ​ 23rd Iyyar Sunday 17th May Where You Are Start Over Daniel 4 v14:17 Today we are praying for those who do not know You, Lord. Your truth is manifest in the heavens, yet our enemy, Satan, has plied his trade in blinding the many. In our homes, in our families, in our lives, in our neighbourhoods, in our communities. We are a body of believers. Even few in number, You are in the midst of us. We need You to break through into the lives of others, that we can be enabled to reach out for You, to be eyes, arms and ears for Your Kingdom, to lift, comfort, obey and instruct, to give life as You have given us life. Pour out Your love, Lord, that we may be saved, in Jesus's name, for Your glory, forever, amen. 22nd Iyyar Saturday 16th May I Surrender ​There Is A Redeemer Joshua 2 v9:19 We can be condemned, Lord, in arrogant hypocrisy. To hold ourselves high, to claim authority, to be closed to others. To shut ourselves off to Your blessing and instruction. Lord of Lords and King of Kings, give us hope and open our eyes. For You alone are worthy of all praise, for You alone are to be called teacher. Yahweh, Saviour, keep us and guide us, open our eyes, for Your name's sake, that we can come together as children and celebrate You as Your church, until You come again. Amen. Glory hallelujah! Amen. 21st Iyyar Friday 15th May Arise This Is How We Overcome Micah 3 v1:7 Lord of Hosts, Your word says that one day we will rise up. That one day we will meet with You in the clouds. What a glorious day that will be, O Lord. Yet, Lord, in this day we are struck so low. We cannot look upon the things of the day and not weep. Help us take comfort in Your refuge, Lord. If we are of mean estate here, we have the promise of Your providence there. Lord, may the pastors, preachers, teachers and elders among those who are praying here take note of the warning from Micah, may they step up and not step down, may they raise their voices, example and prayers before Your flock, that they may be encouraged and led, that they may experience some of Your lifting up in this world, by the power of your Holy Spirit, in Jesus's mighty name, for Your glory forever, amen. By You we will run at a troop, by You we will leap over a wall. https://youtube.com/watch?v=VXp6xcY5IqU 20th Iyyar Thursday 14th May Consuming Fire Revive Us Numbers 26 v52:56 Lord of Hosts, Maker of the Heavens and the Earth, what can we ask of You? After You laid down Your life? After You conferred upon us mercy, grace and glory? After You forgave our sins? Past, present and future? Yet You want us to be strong in Your Word. When we read and glean for Your treasure, we find Your goodness in abundance. You have apportioned each of us a lot, a place in Your Kingdom. Your Son, Jesus has gone ahead to prepare this place for us. Splendid Majesty! That You furnish so much on Your children! Thank You, Lord, help us rise and claim the same, in Jesus's name, for Your glory forever, amen. ​ 19th Iyyar Wednesday 13th May Every Praise We Worship You Obadiah v15:21 O Lord, who is both Merciful and Mighty, Fearsome and Graceful, Vengeful and Forgiving, we worship You. What we long for is to worship You in Heaven. For that day to come. For this temporary life to be over. The world is groaning, Lord, under the weight of its transgression. Help us, Lord, to persevere this day. To persist. If the day of Your Second Coming is not this day, let us hope and learn and trust in You. To look for the things that hinder our walk, to do the things that would fulfil our commission and purpose in this life. To heal the sick, to cleanse the lepers, to feed the poor, to raise the dead. You will wash us in the shower of Your presence as we do this in worship to You. You are there, in songs, in deeds, in Spirit, in the lives of others, in our lives, standing right beside, leading on, waiting patiently. Help us stand in You, in Jesus's mighty name, as He did, for Your glory. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=hWENUK96aBM 18th Iyyar Tuesday 12th May Refiner's Fire Bind Us Together Zephaniah 3 v9:13 O, Lord God of Israel, why are You so opposed? You have sent Your Son, Jesus, to be a sacrifice for our sin, and yet, even two thousand years later, many who hear set their hearts and their minds against You. There are those that worship You from afar. There are those who try and plunder Your Kingdom. There are those who simply refuse to do Your will. But all of them oppose You. Even indifference is opposition to You, Your sovereignty, Your truth. Lord, today we pray as the sowers of seeds. We speak Your name, Your words into our lives and societies. Although we pray that You will not let us cast Your pearls before swine, we pray that the seeds we have sown germinate and grow in good, fertile soil. We pray that our enemy, the Devourer, has no place amongst them, that he loses his foothold where he has. We pray for Your word to establish them, that those who tend and water be sent among them. We pray for Your light to shine forth, not in condemnation but in love, that we can be workers who bring a harvest as we sow in tears. For Your glory, for Your name's sake. Amen. 17th Iyyar Monday 11th May Here In Your Presence ​ ​Yield My Heart Exodus 22 v22:31 The Way, Lord. We seek the Way. You be our teacher and guide. Not for selfish reasons, but in some way to show the love and appreciation for what You have done for us. What You are doing for us, each day. What You will do for us when You return. Help us heed Your warnings and be obedient to Your commands. Help us break the chains of bondage, to divest ourselves of every sin, sickness and disease, through Your Holy Spirit's power, for Your glory. Help us be in the River, Lord, with You and in You and having You in us, for Your Kingdom, for Your Son, Jesus, in whose name we pray, amen. 16th Iyyar Sunday 10th May Thy Word I Need Thee Every Hour Genesis 16 v4:5 Right relationships, Lord. There is no place in scripture where wrong relationships prosper. Everything that is to return to You must first become holy in Your sight. The time of Abraham was before the Law was given to Moses, and we see here relationships outside Your perfect plan for salvation that do not prosper. The same with Samson, the same with David. Lord, today we seek Your guidance in our relationships. Your way, please reaffirm and lead us in scripture and teaching. In Jesus's name, for Your glory, for the coming of Your Kingdom. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=CglQuMr0ifk 15th Iyyar Saturday 9th May Be Strong And Courageous You're Beautiful John 13 v1:20 What an awesome God You are. In perfect love and perfect humility, You washed Your disciples' feet. Who would do that? Even as a friend this would be a challenge, even as a lover, partner or spouse. But as the High King Of Heaven, the Maker of the Heavens and the Earth, no example was too great for You to set on how we should have an attitude toward each other. Thank You, Jesus, for washing me clean, O how I pray today that you would do this for others. To reject You or accept You is really our only life's choice and, Lord, I believe in You. You are manifest, You are truth, You are alive. May hearts and minds be released to You today, for the Father's glory, by the power of Your Holy Spirit. May those believers, who read this prayer, pray this prayer. May those who do not believe be convicted by it. Your scriptures ask whether a leopard may change its spots, but You have given each human being the ability to choose life over death. Thank You, Lord, in whose name I pray, Jesus, Yeshua, Isa, amen. ​https://youtube.com/watch?v=5vUvi-A75BU 14th Iyyar Friday 8th May Refiner's Fire Fight The Good Fight ​ John 11 v1:31 You are our Shepherd. We are Your sheep. Lord, in this day we are assaulted by the wiles and deceptions of an Enemy grown drunk on His fornication. He is engrossed in his business, the scripture says he goes about as a lion, looking for people to devour. Heavenly Father, whose Son bested Satan in the desert and defeated him utterly at the Cross, we ask for Your strength, power and authority today, to overcome Satan at our point of need. We are not You, Lord of Lords and King of Kings, we need Your supernatural deliverance from this enemy's power. You have defeated him, you have set him aside for destruction. We ask, we plead, that You rebuke him in the arc of his power against us and our families today, in Jesus's name. We surrender ourselves to You afresh, Lord Jesus, that You may have Your way in us this day, for the Father's glory, amen. ​ 13th Iyyar Thursday 7th May Victory Belongs To Jesus Our God Is An Awesome God Ezekiel 17 v1:10 Lord of Lords and King of Kings, You raise up nations and leaders. According to Your purpose, by Your blessing, grace and favour. Today we raise a prayer for our leaders, those who You will establish and those who You will cut down. Scripture tells us that it is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the Living God, and, Lord, we believe You. You see rightly, You discern the thoughts, words, deeds and hearts of men. Where they are in error, Lord, we pray for them to see clearly and change. That they be given encouragement, that they may be given wisdom to know that You alone are God, and that Your desire is to be merciful and to save and forgive. Where they are righteous in Your eyes, Lord, we pray for their continued establishment, that their words and example have weight and value in the ears of their people, that other nations and powers be given opportunity to receive of the value of the same. But where they harden their hearts against You, Lord, we pray for Your justice to be swift and Your example widely noted. You are God alone, yet we, Your children, stand with You in the name and by the precious blood of Jesus, for Your glory, amen. ​ 12th Iyyar Wednesday 6th May Psalm 63 I Am Not Alone ​Hebrews 8 You called us first, Yeshua, Messiah. We are Your sheep, we have heard You call our name. Now You will lead us home. Aid us Lord, in this. In calling others, in pouring out the love, mercy, compassion, forgiveness and patience that You have shown us, in standing and snatching from the fire all those You would want to have and to hold. You intercede for us in the Heavenly Temple. Let us be a firebrand for Your life, Lord, use us, teach us, lead us, guide this day, for Your glory, in Jesus's mighty name, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=qULnbRmU0F8 11th Iyyar Tuesday 5th May Leaning On My Beloved ​Thy Will Be Done ​John 16 v1:11 That's what we need, Lord. The Mighty One of Israel, the King of Kings. We need You to move, to reveal Yourself in us. To be Your vessels, to surrender ourselves to You. Your will and way, Your Kingdom come upon the earth. Not that we may be justified, though justify us in the eyes of our detractors it will, not that we can make a show of Your sovereignty and power, though it will show forth Your sovereignty and power, but so that You can save people. Our societies, our communities, our neighbourhoods. Our friends, our relatives. Our enemies. Our selves. We need You. You do not need us. Yet Your scriptures, Your sacrifice, Your example reveals Your deep desire for Your children. To walk in relationship with them, and they with You. You have called us first, help us heed and come. Help us receive, help us breathe in Your glorious grace and splendour, in Jesus's name, for Your glory alone, amen.​ https://youtube.com/watch?v=I2oel0_Xa54 10th Iyyar Monday 4th May Blessed Be Your Name Such Love Obadiah v9:17 O Lord, You will come down from Your Holy mountain, You will draw all men to You, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess You as King. Lord of All, Alpha and Omega, none will stand against You. Help us, Lord, to crush our anxieties, our anger, our pride. Help us trample them underfoot before the end. You are God alone, You are worthy of all praise, we want to bow before You in humility and faith, smeared with the filth of the battle in this cursed realm, breathing hard from the exertion and the effort of coming before You, for Your name's sake alone, to be washed in the blood of the Lamb, to be clothed in robes of white by Your righteousness. For You and to You and in You forever, we pray, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=0bhJHMoDsdE 9th Iyyar Sunday 3rd May You Are Worthy Of My Praise https://youtube.com/watch?v=hEcWkt7rxrg ​No Longer Slaves https://youtube.com/watch?v=f8TkUMJtK5k Zechariah 10 v10:12 https://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Zechariah+10%3A10-12&version=NKJV Home, Lord, You are bringing us home. Through dry lands, over stormy seas, Your perfect will is unfolding, to bring Your church, Your people back to You. Mighty God, Awesome God, what a brilliant plan! What an awesome way that You are unfolding it. If we remain true to You, we will walk in streets of gold, by a crystal sea, gazing upon the beauty of our Lord. Teach us, correct us, lead us, Lord, as Your ways are higher and Your thoughts are deeper. Keep us to the road and path, by whatever means necessary. First and foremost, we want to be Yours, in Jesus's name, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=x7xDg8z7YMQ 8th Iyyar Saturday 2nd May O The Deep, Deep Love Of Jesus Surrender 1 Corinthians 12 v14:31 All parts of a body, Lord. What a splendid thing You have fashioned, what a perfect creation You have made, that we can bring You glory in diversity of gifts and outpourings. You are indeed worthy of all praise, Jesus. That You have laid down Your life, that each and every wretched child can choose to be lifted up in glory like You. From the thief on the Cross to the child You held in Your arms, this decision is given to each of us. We are never ready, we can never fully understand it from the outside, but the choice is there. Today, Lord, we choose You. We stand with open hands, open hearts and open minds. Teach us in the way we should go, show us Your most excellent way. Let us not be deceived or misdirected. All glory, honour and praise to You, Lord of Lords and King of Kings, forever, amen. 7th Iyyar Friday 1st May Consuming Fire Yahweh Isaiah 58 v1:6 Today we lift a prayer for all Your children, Lord, observing Ramadan. We pray for them to receive from You the things that You have to offer, we pray that the truth of our Lord, Jesus Christ, be revealed to them by You. Your Holy Spirit is our comfort and our guide, You are our safe refuge in times of trouble. You want the burdens to be lifted of those who cry out to You, You want the yokes to be broken that are not Yours. You have made a Way in the desert, that all may enter in. Reach them and teach them, Lord, through signs and visions, in dreams as they soak in and seek Your presence. You came into the world that none should perish, You left this world so that Your Holy Spirit could be received by all who would ask. Your promise is not just in the hereafter, but it is an afforded opportunity for all people to receive and walk in right now. All glory, honour and praise to You, Lord of Lords and King of Kings, forever we pray, amen. ​https://youtube.com/watch?v=Aq8P5i9U7-g 6th Iyyar Thursday 30th April You Are Good What A Friend We Have In Jesus Acts 16 v6:15 ​ What a glorious fellowship we are offered with You, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. You have paved the way for us to walk with You as our comforter and guide. As with Paul, You can even tell us which ways not to go! Thank You, Lord, what a privilege! How pleasant, how good, how beautiful it is to know You. Help us, lord, attune to who You are and what You want. To be attentive to Your voice. To have You come and stay at our house. You are our master, and we love to be with You. Your ways are higher, Your thoughts are deeper. You bless us beyond measure, beyond merit, just because we hope, want and pray to hear Your voice. Thank You again, Lord, and again and again, forever. Amen. ​https://youtube.com/watch?v=cb1k3DxnpVQ 5th Iyyar Wednesday 29th April Abba Father, Let Me Be In the Name of Jesus 1 Corinthians 16 v13 O God, You have not given us a spirit of timidity or fear. You bless us with so much, including the things that You protect us from. Today, Lord, help us be mindful of all of the things that we should give thanks for, help us, Lord, see clearly so that the seen and the unseen are revealed. Thank You, Lord, for all that You have done, are doing and will do. Thank You most sincerely for sending Your Son, Jesus, the Christ, and for pouring out Your spirit on all men that we might receive the blessings of the Kingdom. There is none like You, Lord. Hosanna! Amen. 4th Iyyar Tuesday 28th April The Battle Belongs To The Lord ​Be Still For The Presence Of The Lord Jeremiah 12 v1:11 https://youtube.com/watch?v=hqgC1tqifV8 Heart rending sadness. O Lord! To feel even a part of what You feel, when You look upon an earth and a people awash with sin. And no place more so than when You look upon Your church and find it wanting. Where false prophets and false teachers arise, where those step forward who love their fine words but deny the power of Your sacrifice, where those step up and dress themselves in fine clothes whilst others starve and weep. Give us clean hearts, O Lord, give us a desire for You and a yearning for Your children. Open our eyes, Lord, and bring us to our knees. For Your glory, for the name of Your Son, Jesus, for the coming Day, when shadows will no longer fall or obscure our view. Heed our hearts and cries, Holy One of Israel, You are our Rock and our Defender, forever, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=6CMclLT_Hjg 3rd Iyyar Monday 27th April O The Deep, Deep Love Of Jesus You're Beautiful Ephesians 1 v15:21 Holy and Heavenly Lord, we need You, we need Your Holy Spirit, if we are to be victorious in this dark world. Not by might, not by power, but by Your Spirit, You have said this in Your Scriptures. Without You we are but dust. Beings going through the motions inspired only by our selves, our emotions and the body of experience and romanticism that represents our hopes and labours without You. We may accrue worldly wealth, lead good lives, attain knowledge by the study and reading of books, but without You, we are lost. When You come into our lives we are transformed, changed forever. There is no other thing like it, just temporary, passing things that leave us hungry for more. Thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, thank You for opening a way like no other on earth. Help us pour out Your love, wisdom, life and excellence into a starving nation, into a parched desert, into a thirsty world and we pray, with a hope beyond our ability to deserve, that Your Spirit will be victorious where we pour it out for You. For Your name, for Your glory alone. In Jesus's name we pray, amen. 2nd Iyyar Sunday 26th April When I Look Into Your Holiness Our God Is Greater Lamentations 3 v7:24 Oh Lord, I am sorry. I am sorry for my transgressions. I am sorry for my wickedness. I am sorry that, even after hearing Your Word, I still find myself at times doing other than what You would want for me. Help me Lord, remember Your ways. Keep me and return me to Your paths of righteousness, for Your name's sake. Your ways are higher, Your thoughts are deeper, You know all that is good and is right and is honest. You are the Way, the Truth and the Life. I have no thought or desire of worth that is not of You. Help me, dear Lord, I pray, as I endeavour to help and forgive others in Your precious and Mighty name. Amen. ​ 1st Iyyar ​Saturday 25th April Your Love, O Lord A Thousand Years Mark 10 v13:27 Your will, Your walk, Your way. That is the truth of it. There is no other way to go or to follow, you have marked the path with the outpouring of Your life's blood. You have faced man's brutality. You have won. You have overcome. Lord of Hosts, today we pray for the sick and the suffering. Whether mental, emotional, physical or spiritual, You are the answer to all of the world's woes. If we could but turn to You, Jesus, we would have both the Father and the Son, and Your Spirit could dwell in each of us, and the world could be healed. For today, Lord, we ask this boon, not deserving, not entitled, not righteous, but humbly with the most of who we are. For release and relief. Let Your children know the Father's heart, the comfort, the blessing, the peace. This is Your Sabbath rest, Lord, in Jesus's mighty name we pray, for Your glory. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=CglQuMr0ifk 30th Nisan Friday 24th April We come into the closing day of Nisan and give a double portion of thanks and praise. If, like me, this has been a real 'vale of tears' time, then I pray for God's blessings upon your day and way. Psalm 30 v5 says, "Tears may linger at nightfall, but joy comes in the morning.' May the veil of your vale of tears be parted, and may the light of the living Christ come shining through, in Jesus's name. Consuming Fire Jesus, I Need You 1 John 2 v18:25 Study here. Isaiah 3 v8:15 Heavenly Father, we thank you for this time of praise and worship. We thank You for all that You have done for us during this time, things both seen and unseen. We thank You for the opportunity to praise You, we thank You for the place, the lights, the laptops or devices, the connections, the life, the blessings. And we thank You, Lord, for the challenges too. You are making a way for us to travel that brings us ever closer to You, and even the Devil can only do Your bidding in the journeys of Your elect, as only with Job did you give permission otherwise. You have started a work, and You will see it through. Dear Lord, we lift hands to You today in hope and hunger for more of You. We lay down our very lives before You in hope and hunger for less of us. You hear our prayer, dear Lord, may no power of Hell hinder Your reply. In Jesus's mighty name we pray. Amen. Father's Heart Shabbat Ain't Gonna Wait On Me 29th Nisan Thursday 23rd April Lord, I Lift Your Name On High The Steadfast Love Of The Lord Never Ceases Acts 15 v28:32 O God Almighty, who lives forever, Adonai. You do not change. Your nature or intent, Your essential self is always the same. Give us grace and understanding, therefore, to navigate the truth as to where we are in relationship to You. How well do our ways align themselves with You? For Your Kingdom? Show us, Lord, through companionship and fellowship, through Your word, through the example of Your Son, Jesus, the Christ. We need You, Lord. You do not need us. Yet You have expressed a yearning, a desire a sacrifice that we may be in relationship with You, and it is in this, through Your death and resurrection on the Cross, that we ask this thing in prayer. In Jesus's name, amen. When I Look Into Your Holiness Let Us Adore 28th Nisan Wednesday 22nd April Here For You We Wait For You Zechariah 4 v11:14 Who are we that You are mindful of us, Lord God of Israel, Maker of the Heavens and the Earth? Lost in our anger, our pride, our vanity, our shame? Resentful and blasphemous towards You. Partakers in the murder of Your One and only Son. How our ambition has blinded us. How our inflated egos cause us to walk as if if Your life bears no matter. We are wretches, Lord! We are less than worms before You! We are not fit to tie Your bootlaces. O Lord! Help us! Help us humble ourselves before You. Help us see, feel and know the truth, that You are who You say You are and we are but dust before You. Take our cup, Lord, and fill us up again. We look to You and lift our hands and hearts toward You, King of Heaven, Maker of the Heavens and the Earth, Mighty God, amen. Fill Me Up And Overflow ​Be Thou My Vision 27th Nisan Tuesday 21st April Continuing on with a double portion of praise for the month of Nisan. All glory to God! Draw Me Close To You Float 2 Thessalonians 2 v1:12 Yes, Lord of Hosts, when the Dark One rises up we know we need to rely on everything that You have given us to overcome. It is by Your provision, it is by Your grace that we have been saved. Nothing that we have done could ever justify our salvation, our portion is with the eternal because You have made it so. Thank You, Lord, thank You for Your Son, Jesus, thank You for the power and authority of the Holy Spirit that confirms this. You have veiled our wicked sins, when the time is complete, You will place them as far away from us as east is from the west. Awesome God, Mighty God, we find and make our refuge in You, in Jesus's mighty name, amen. Peculiar People Comfort Ye 26th Nisan Monday 20th April As The Deer Holy Is The Lamb John 17 v1:8 How You prayed, Lord. How You laid down Your life, how You received from the Father, how You blessed the whole earth. Lord we lift up a prayer of thanks. For who You are, for what You have done, for the skills and dreams that You have given us. Help us commit all that we are to You, Jesus Messiah, as You committed everything You were to us. Thank You, Prince of Peace, thank You, whose name is Wonderful, thank You, whose name is Counsellor. Hosanna! Glory Hallelujah! Jesus is the Christ, amen! Trust And Obey The Steadfast Love Of The Lord Never Ceases 25th Nisan Sunday 19th April Jesus, I Believe In You I Surrender All Amos 7, 8, 9 Lord God of Israel, Your path is straight and true, Your line goes throughout the earth. Today, Lord, we beg of You to show us the right way, to guide us on the right path for Your name's sake. Rebuke us, correct us if necessary, do not let the Devil have dominion over us. Lord, reveal to us clearly all that hinders our correct walking with You, that we might tear down strongholds and break the chains that bind us. Make us ever vigilant to Your cause, teach us the words needed to overcome every obstacle. Your ultimate plan is for the gathering of Your children, a message of hope and salvation, an expression of Your amazing love. Lead us on, King of Heaven, we pray, in the name of Jesus, Your Son, who at once is You and of You, for Your glory, amen.

You were sent by the Father, exactly as the Son said You would be. You, who hovered over prophets and kings in days of old, now multiplied and poured out over all of mankind. Welcome, Lord, please, make free in us to our uttermost parts. Search us, guide us, lift us. Show us the way we should go. Cast out the things of darkness and the Devil. Not for our glory, reward or profit, but for the Father's. Bless through us that He may be blessed. Thank You, Holy Spirit of God, great are Your works throughout all the world. Pour out Yourself by filling these redeemed vessels, by overflowing into the driest of deserts, in Jesus's name, forever, amen. Consuming Fire Welcome Holy Spirit 23rd Nisan Friday 17th April Continuing on with a double portion of praise for the month of Nisan. All glory to God! Where You Are Like Oil James 2 v14:22 Where You are, Lord. Doing the things that please You. Sharing with You and others who want to do the same. What a promise, what a hope, what a dream. To be lifted above the corruption and the discord. To be pain and curse free. O Lord God of Israel, Maker of the Heavens and the Earth, Your ways are higher, Your thoughts are deeper. Lift us to You, as we trust in who You are and what You have done, are doing and will do in our lives. Make our faces shine like Moses' that those around us will know it, that You are our heart's desire, that only in You do we find peace and satisfaction away from the troubles of this dark world. O God, who lives forever, You satisfy the calling of our soul. In Jesus's name we pray, amen. Yield My Heart Father's Heart 22nd Nisan Thursday 16th April Theme -> Passover / Resurrection As we close this week of remembrance and celebration we recognise and give thanks for the unique double portion of a double portion of Your blessing. For the first fruits of harvest. For the release of captivity from Egypt. For the Son risen from the grave. For the continued and ongoing outworking of Your matchless grace, in Your work of salvation. Who else gives so much for so little? Who else would consider so little as so much? Thank You, Father, thank You, Son, thank You, Holy Spirit. Amen. Wonderful Grace Of Jesus Jesucristo Basta Jeremiah 23 v1:6 Colossians 4 v16:18 O Lord, how we look forward to our continued journey, with You and to You. Your dwelling place is our destination, with all the places prior being places we are passing through. Thank You, Lord, for making a way, thank You for letting us and calling us to follow. Today, Lord, we also give thanks for those who have gone before, both named and unnamed, carrying the light of the gospel. A line unbroken over thousands of years. A line littered with suffering and overcoming, laughter and precious tears. You will see the persecutors punished and the mockers downcast, yet You, being You, will also relent if they turn from their wicked path. Help us, too, carry Your light and Your name into the distant future, with thanksgiving and praise, in Jesus's mighty name, amen. Muestrame Tu Gloria Waymaker 21st Nisan Wednesday 15th April We are lifting a double portion of praise throughout the month of Nisan and a double portion of worship during Passover. We even lifted a double portion of the double portion for the Resurrection celebration of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ! Two one one becomes eight four four! Theme -> Passover / Resurrection Thank You Lord for our continuing journey. As long as we remain faithful and true to You, the destination is set, the end is one of joyous overcoming and continuous declaration of Your goodness in all of creation. Amazing grace, mighty God, author and finisher of all our works. Amen. Glory hallelujah, amen. Fill My Cup, Lord ​My Redeemer Lives Joshua 8 v9:13 Revelation 21 v22:27 Jesus, You made a way for me. You made a way for the whole world. A way that satisfies. A way that connects us with a loving relationship with the Father. He never grows tired or weary. He is never elsewhere, because He is everywhere. He listens to our every cry, catches our every teardrop and has counted the very hairs of our head. What more compassion is there than this? That He would send His Son, to ransom me from certain death? Today I give my life to You. Today, or for the first time, it matters not to You. You are just happy to have us home. Thank You, Lord, thank You, dear Father. Who is like You in all of creation? Amen. Jesus, I Believe In You Hosanna 20th Nisan Tuesday 14th April Theme -> Passover / Resurrection Punishment / Crucifixion ​ What better news can we receive of, Father? That You are risen, that You have overcome sin and the grave? Our hope is to hear those words, "Well done, my good and faithful servant." Keep us to it, lord, hard to it where necessary, help us follow the narrow path, in Jesus's name. Amen. O Happy Day Eagle's Wings Romans 7 v13:25 Romans 8 v1:11 O to be lifted, to be held, to be loved, to be saved. Who have we in this life, but You? Lord of Lords and King of Kings. Adonai. Yeshua. Messiah. Matchless Lord of Grace, Heaven's light. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed. Yet, Lord, we know that there are movements, cults, that speak words as if they are from You, when the evidence is that they are not. Lord we pray for the overwhelming of defences and the opening of eyes. Your grace is sufficient, only You alone have the power to save. Let the doctrines of demons be exposed in the lives of those we care about, not that we would gain authority but You, Jesus, and You alone. It is a cruel work of the Deceiver to treat people so, and we pray for the undoing of his works in the name of Christ Jesus, by the blood of Christ Jesus and by the power of His Holy Spirit, amen. Our God Reigns Here This Is How We Overcome 19th Nisan Monday 13th April Theme -> Passover / Resurrection Yes, Lord we continue the journey, now in celebration of Your risen self. The leaven has come. The King is alive. Hosanna! Glory hallelujah! We worship You, Lord, amen. Go Down, Moses Nothing Is Impossible 1 Corinthians 7 v17:24 Psalm 73 Yes Lord, today we join You on Your victory march. You have won authority over all the earth, You have wrestled it back from Satan. You have returned with it back to Your Father's house. Dear Lord, what a price You have paid. What a victory You have won. You have opened a way for all peoples, of every tribe, race and tongue, to come to You as You first intended, as sons and daughters, as priests, as disciples, as partakers, as princes and princesses, as children of the Most High. Let us not be jealous of other people, and the walk that they have away from You. Rather, let us set an example and a light for others in living and rejoicing in the goodness of our God. Not that we may be seen as better, but that You Lord may be seen as the right and righteous way. All this we pray in the wonderful and matchless name of Jesus, our risen Lord, amen. Holding Nothing Back Let My Life Be Like A Lovesong 18th Nisan Sunday 12th April Theme -> Passover / Resurrection The Resurrection of Jesus A double portion of the double portion! Today, Lord, we lift a joyous noise of celebration and praise. Sin was defeated at the Cross, death was defeated at the empty tomb. Shepherd of our hearts, welcome home, amen. Shepherd Faithful One Luke 19 v36:41 Psalm 107 v36:43 Blessed be Your name, O Lord. Yesu, Yeshua, Jesus, Isa. However we say it, it is still blessed. Wherever we declare it, Satan must flee. Name above all names, Prince of Peace we say and praise Your name today. Amen. Jesus! Amen. This Is Amazing Grace Amazing Grace Revelation 14 v13:16 Proverbs 30 v4:9 Heavenly Father we offer up sacrifices of praise and worship. We read the scriptures to learn and know more of You, we receive of Your glory, day by day, and, most amazing of all, You go with us. Walking, when we follow, talking when we would listen,and forgiving when we would forgive. Amazing grace, amazing Lord, what can we do but pray for Your love to be received so by others? Of those of other faiths and religions? Of those lost in the miry clay of this uncertain life? Your scripture says that there is a way that seems right to a man that leads to destruction. Today we pray for people, our friends, our relatives, our enemies, those we know and those we do not. If they are on the wider way, Lord, please pull them off it. Your Gospel of peace is really that good. In Jesus's name we pray this, for Your glory and the coming of Your Kingdom upon the earth. Amen. I Need Thee Every Hour He Is Risen O Lord, in closing prayer for this special day, we ask that You go before us, to the left of us, to the right of us, above and below. You are the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings, let Your way be our way, let us align ourselves with You, Yours is the cleansing flow, Yours is the blood spilled that we may have new life, You are the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, and we want to walk with You. Help us live the life that You intended, in Jesus's mighty name. Amen. At The Cross Take Me In To The Holy Of Holies 17th Nisan Saturday 11th April We are lifting a double portion of praise throughout the month of Nisan and a double portion of worship in the approach to Passover. We will then lift a double portion of the double portion for the Resurrection celebration of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ! Theme -> Passover / Resurrection A night and a day in the tomb. A Sabbath rest like no other. You, Jesus, paid it all. In this day, over two thousand years ago by our reckoning, You rested in death. No movement, both within and without, in the streets of Jerusalem, in the heavenlies, in the world. We owe it all to You, Lord of Lords and King of Kings. You fulfilled all hope and prophecy, You will come again. Glory hallelujah! Hosanna! Amen! O Holy Night El Shaddai John 14 v1:6 John 1 v1:5 We do not know, Lord. We cannot see. Even those close to You at the time of Your death had fallen away at this time. Was there a battle in the grave? Were the hosts of Hell being defeated? Or were You at rest, fulfilling the prophecy and content in Your victory? Did You know? Could You see? Whatever the truth of it, we press today into Your Sabbath rest. A time of peace. A time of reflection, a time of seeking You, our God. Through Your Word, written, spoken and breathed through Your Holy Spirit. You have gone to prepare a place. You made this sacrifice once and for all. You will neither leave us nor forsake us. King of Heaven be with Your people today, live in us us, teach us, guide us. Give us words to say, inspire us with insight and understanding, show Yourself in deed and wonder, to the overcoming of Satan and the doubts, dreams and fears that He has sewn into the world. Help us, Lord God, to represent You. Help us to point others to the truth alone. In Your name we pray, Jesus, for the glory of the Father You glorified, for the coming of the Kingdom that you are preparing, in the assured hope of the fulfilment of all things to come. Amen. Glory hallelujah! Amen! My Shepherd The Good Shepherd 16th Nisan Friday 9th April Theme -> Passover / Resurrection Punishment / Crucifixion ​ O Lord, today we share a prayer for You. In Your suffering, in Your sacrifice, in Your steadfastness, in Your grace. Over two thousand years ago, You poured it out unto death for a world undeserving of such a gift of mercy. No other act in all of creation can compare to this. There is nothing that we can measure such love against. Thank You, dear Lord, thank You, beautiful Saviour, thank You, Jesus of Nazareth. Amen. How Great Thou Art In The Garden Isaiah 24 v1:12 1 Corinthians 15 v51:58 The truth and the promise. The blood of the Passover was painted with bitter herbs. Suffering must come, if but for a time. We cannot have new life without death, without dying to self. This is the promise of God, "That He sent His only begotten Son, that whosoever would believe on Him shall not perish, but receive from him eternal life." This is the path we tread upon, the life we call for, the hope, the way. When the path crumbles and our strength fails, You will uphold us. Not by strength, not by might but by Your Holy Spirit. We need You, Lord. Today we call to You and trust in Your promise, that tears may linger at nightfall, but joy comes in the morning. If all we have in this world is You, then that, we declare, is enough. Whilst we pray for others to come, we cannot call or bring if we are not through ourselves. In the precious name of Jesus we pray, commit and declare, for Your glory, God of Heaven, and for the coming of Your Kingdom upon the earth. Amen. Healer Be Thou My Vision 15th Nisan Thursday 9th April Theme -> Passover / Resurrection Passover O Lord, how You sat down and shared Your last meal with Your disciples, how You humbled Yourself to wash their feet, how You broke the bread and drank from the cup as an example to all of us. You knew where You were going, You knew what was to come, yet Your warmth and love burned as a holy fire towards those who had followed You. Blessed Lord, blessed Saviour, thank You for all that You have done. Amen. 10,000 Reasons Rock Of Ages John 3 v16 Psalm 27 v12:13 O my soul! O my life! What did ever do that could deserve such faith, such love, such sacrifice? Sin, only sin, a vile state I was born in and given wholly over to. Yet the Lord heard from Heaven. He knew from the beginning, all things that would come to pass, all that was necessary for redress and resolution. He alone could set the captives free, He alone could open a way that all could follow. The cost was dear, the ransom too high for mortal man to pay, a price so great that only the life of one so beloved of Heaven could pay it. What a God, what a Saviour! Emancipator, Blessed Lord. A sacrifice for once and for all, a road first travelled by feet pierced by nails of steel. Mighty God, Saviour Jesus, You opened a way with Your blood, You paid the debt in full with Your broken body. All Heaven would roar in indignation, yet You would bid them silence as You unfolded Your greatest work. Not in splendour, not in majesty, but in humility and silence, with regard for all, near and far. Blessed Lord, blessed Saviour, thank You for all that You do. Amen. O Come, O Come Emmanuel Praise, My Soul, The King Of Heaven 14th Nisan Wednesday 8th April Theme -> Passover / Resurrection Heaviness, Lord. A spiritual heaviness as we walk with You towards the day of Your death. The Israelites under the heavy burden of the plagues so far poured out on Egypt, the strain of the slaver's leash biting at its hardest. O Lord. You have carried the Cross and paid the price. Let us not hold on, but surrender all to You, Mighty God, Blessed Father, Spotless Son. Amen. Hallowed Be Thy Name/ I Stand In Awe Of You Psalm 23 1 Samuel 16 v1:13 Study here. O, Lord! Great are You among the nations, far and above all other powers and gods. You appoint kings and cast them down, You formed the Heavens and the Earth and hold our lives in the palm of Your hands. Who is like You, Mighty God? Today we are overwhelmed yet, through the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus, we are not, and never can be, overcome. He who slept in the stern of a storm tossed boat. He who calmed the waters with a word. He who healed the sick and caused the dead to rise. He who made the blind see and the deaf hear. By His stripes we are healed. He will raise us up on the last day, He will renew our strength and refresh our youth. Life Giver, Truth Speaker, He committed His Holy Spirit to You that You may send it out over all of the earth. Now You dwell within each of us. Remind us of what You have done, awaken us to the purposes that You have called us for, and we will rise up again to stand, as children of the Most High, as a royal priesthood sent to declare the Word to the ends of the earth. For Your Kingdom, for Your glory alone, in Jesus's name, amen. Healer This Is Amazing Grace 13th Nisan Tuesday 7th April We are lifting a double portion of praise throughout the month of Nisan and a double portion of worship in the approach to Passover. We will then lift a double portion of the double portion for the Resurrection celebration of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ! Theme -> Passover / Resurrection A prayer for Your children across the globe. You know where each one of them is, you have numbered the hairs on their head, You have insured their right of passage into the eternal splendour. Yet, Lord, we petition You for providence and plenty, as You provide us with the same. May Your hand, may Your blessing be upon them, in Jesus's name. Amen. Pass Me Not, O Gentle Saviour I Need Thee Every Hour ​Daniel 7 v15:27 Revelation 22 v6:11 Lord of Lords and King of Kings, You are our Rock in times of trouble. In dark and heavy, heaving seas, You are the anchor to which we hold. Thank You for being our steadfast hope, that the unmerited favour that You have apportioned to those who would call upon and profess Your name, to those who accept Your Son, Jesus, as Lord and Saviour, is enough to hold us fast and certain, for all time. As we navigate these stormy seas, we know that You go with us, before us and behind, above and below, and to each and every side. If You are for us, what can stand against? This, too, is how You navigated the approach to Your certain punishment and death on the Cross. You sweat drops of blood for those You loved, You accepted the cup of Righteous Wrath that was set aside for us. Thank You, Lord, thank You. Words are not enough. Praises will fall short, our every deed is vanity before You. Yet, thanks be to You all the same. Mighty God, Awesome God, thank you, in Jesus's name, amen. Faithful One Days Of Elijah 12th Nisan Monday 6th April Theme -> Passover / Resurrection A prayer for the front line workers, both seen and unseen. In our hospitals, stores, essential services, may You be with them Lord. Strengthen them, refresh them, let them know that they are appreciated and loved. In Jesus's precious name, amen. ​This Is The Day As For Me And My House Hosea 2 v1:9 Numbers 17 v1:8 Praises to Your Name, Lord of Lords and King of Kings. Today we raise a prayer for our leaders. Our elders in the church, the captains of industry, the royalty, the politicians and elected officials. None can rule without Your authority, none can come to power without Your say so. We pray for them to align themselves with You. We pray against all that influences them which is not of You. To represent the people in faith and truth. To commend themselves to selfless toil, in sharing their table with those in need. And where they do not, O Lord, we trust You will also give them their end. It is not for us to condemn. Your ways are higher, and those in receipt of blessing must be mindful of its true source. Keep our ways and days and, as You lead us towards that great day of redemption, bless us with Your love. In Jesus's name, amen. ​Creation Is Awaiting Jesus Paid it All 11th Nisan Sunday 5th April Theme -> Passover / Resurrection A prayer for the poor, Lord. The sick, the lost, the lonely, the afraid, the betrayed. Your heart goes with them, Lord, may Your angels robe around, be their peace and their guide, in Jesus's name. Amen. Faithful One ​O The Deep, Deep Love Of Jesus 1 John 3 v1:11 Ezekiel 3 v10:17 O Lord, we are lifted, cleansed, forgiven, loved beyond measure. All are called, though few are chosen. Today, Lord, help us make the grade, help us reach the finish line, let us take hold of the prize. Guide us keep us, shape us, mould us, Lord, each one to the potential that You see in us, when You see Your Son in us. No caveats, no conditions, no rewards greater than that which You gave us at Calvary. In Jesus's name we pray, amen. He's The Saviour Of My Soul How Deep The Father's Love 10th Nisan Saturday 4th April Theme -> Passover / Resurrection Faith, Lord, give us faith. Faith to push further, faith to ask, faith to believe, faith to overcome. God Almighty, lend us strength for the day, as You have given us hope for a future. Amen, Lord of Hosts, amen and hallelujah forever. Amen. ​Face to Face with Christ, My Saviour Rise Up And Praise Him Psalm 19 Luke 14 v25:35 In between our waiting on You and our celebration of You is both great calm and fireworks of emotion. You, Lord of Lords and King of Kings, are like no other. To know You is a privilege, to serve You is an honour, yet, to be forgiven by You is something we cannot ever deserve. Help us Lord, remain faithful and true during this inequality. Help us receive humbly of the bread at Your table. You are the Waymaker, the Alpha and Omega, You created the Heavens and the Earth and all the things therein. You have made a Way in the desert that all can follow, if they should but choose. It was Your choice to do this. I choose today to follow Jesus, called Yeshua and Isa. Keep me on this precious way, I pray in Jesus's name. Amen. Who You Say I Am ​The Waiting 9th Nisan Friday 3rd April We are lifting a double portion of praise throughout the month of Nisan and a double portion of worship in the approach to Passover. We will then lift a double portion of the double portion for the Resurrection celebration of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ! Theme -> Passover / Resurrection O Lord, we approach Your throne ever mindful of the privilege, so richly undeserved. Thank You for the honour, thank You for the sacrifice. lead us and guide us in the way we should go, in Jesus's name we pray. Amen. Praise To The Lord, The Almighty Moment By Moment ​Amos 5 v10:14 Ecclesiastes 4 v8:11 O Lord God of Heaven, maker of the earth and all the things therein, we seek Your face. We look to You for guidance and solace. We search for You for wisdom and truth. In our searching, let us also look for people of You. Your peculiar people are spread out across the whole earth, a crop of grain among a field of weeds, a flock of sheep among the goats. Yet, where two or more are gathered together in Your name, there You are in the midst of them. That is the warmth we seek. Fellowship. Companionship, in Christ alone. All else follows from there. Give us strength to overcome the physical yearning for partners in favour of discernment for spiritual yearning to assemble with fellow believers. There lies the strength of Your church, there lies the overcoming of our enemy, Satan. By the stripes of Jesus we are healed, we overcome Satan by the blood of the Lamb and the words of our testimony. Help us to come together in this, we pray today, for Your glory, amen. Worthy Of It All As For Me And My House 8th Nisan Thursday 2nd April Theme -> Passover / Resurrection Lord Jesus, it is our prayer to know more and to see more. There is none like You. There is noone else who has paid the price that You have. You are the Rock of every believer's salvation, You are the hope that we cling to, You are the truth that sets us free. Populate our minds, hearts and communities. For the Father's glory, amen. ​'Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus Dove's Eyes Zechariah 2 v1:5 Study here. John 18 v20:23 Lord God, Maker of the Heavens and the Earth, matchless King of Mercy and Grace, who can stand against You? And yet, even the guards that witnessed every miracle and word You spoke in the temple think it right to attack You without reason. Such derision You stir in the people of this world. Yet this spirit is not of You, is is a spirit of the Enemy. Condemnation arising from the simple fact that we are fallen and You are perfect, that the responsibility is ours. Heavenly King, perfect Father, help us to share the simple truth, that You knew this from the beginning, that You knew exactly what was needed to remedy this, that You sent Your Son, Jesus, so that all men could be forgiven. Not put on probation, not bought into bondage for a price, but truly, wholly and totally set free, forgiven, for once and for all. It is brilliant. Only You could do it, only You have done it. Help us share this, Lord, that You may do the rest, in Jesus's name, amen. Alpha And Omega Trust And Obey 7th Nisan Wednesday 1st April Theme -> Passover / Resurrection Approaching this special time, in such a time of global crisis, we at twooneone.org are pressing in to His word and truth, doubling our praise and efforts in a request for greater and deeper understanding. May His light be our lead and guide, in Jesus's name, amen. Standing On The Promises Of God Power In The Blood Isaiah 40 v27:31 Matthew 13 v24:30 Yes Lord, this world is fraught with danger and the Enemy has sewn a crop of tares amongst the wheat of Your field. Yet You, Lord, are mighty to save and, in time, You will gather the good crop into Your barns. Today, Lord, we seek discernment, to surrender all and every thing that hinders our walk with You, to make us fast upon the Rock of Our Salvation, Jesus, who is the Christ. By His stripes we are healed, by His blood are we washed clean. We could never be made worthy by anything else, not works or deeds. You made it this way so that no man could boast of His own way. Rather, we would boast of the wonderful, amazing way that Jesus has made in our lives, the transformation in thought, speech and understanding, the new heart of flesh given instead of a heart of stone. In all our prayers, above all, it is Your truth we would want to share in our hearts and in the hearts of others, that Your Holy Spirit can bring forth good fruit, in Jesus's mighty name, Amen. Holy, Holy, Holy Are You Lord Old Rugged Cross 6th Nisan Tuesday 31st March Jesus I Need You See His Love Ecclesiates 6 v6:12, 7 v1:5 What are we without You, Jesus of Nazareth? Dust? Foolish dust? From before time began You knew the Way that would have to be walked, the pain that would have to be endured, yet You, in Your unfathomable greatness and love, walked it all the same. Help us be more like You, Son of God, let Your Holy Spirit be our comfort, rest and guide. Rebuke us, correct us, prune us where necessary, there are no loving hands like Yours. Blessed, Holy One of Israel, pour out Your Spirit on us, fill us, that we may pour out Your Spirit on others. In that knowledge from the beginning was also the certain knowledge of Your overcoming, the unfolding of Your awesome, magic plan for our Salvation. Who is like You, God Almighty? At once Father, Spirit and Son? Who could have ever of thought of such things as You do? Awesome God, Mighty God. Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Tsidkenu, all blessings, glory and honour to You, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, amen. God, You're So Good Blessed Be Your Name 5th Nisan Monday 30th March Yes, it seems that we are doubling up on our worship for the month of Nisan whilst the lockdown endures here in New Zealand. We will also be doubling up on the prayer and the scripture on the approach to Passover / Resurrection Day. You are all upheld in prayer for safety and security, may His grace and goodness go with you, may you be blessed as you press ever closer towards His throne, for His glory, hallelujah, amen. What A Beautiful Name He Touched Me Genesis 7 v1:7 O God, how we call out to You in times of uncertainty and need. Help us, dear Lord, to remember You when this time is over, in Jesus's name. Amen. On The Wings Of A Snow White Dove He Hideth My Soul 4th Nisan Sunday 29th March Praises Amazing Grace Revelation 4 Yes, Lord, You are on the throne. You are holy, You are mighty, You are able, You made the Heavens and the Earth. Lord, as we come before You today, humbled by the awesome privilege that this represents, we lay down our crowns before you. All our achievements have come from You, all our hopes and dreams we place in Your loving hands. Lord, we pray to You as children, for strength and courage to face the day, for patience, insight and understanding to love and forgive others, as You have loved and forgiven us.

Your wisdom has been to give us a day to set aside our toils and troubles. You know all that goes on in the world, our rising up and setting down, and You have decreed that after six days of labour, we should have a day of rest. It is not an accident. It has not changed, as You do not change. So today Lord, we thank You and praise You and we bless Your name. You are God. You are our God. We are Your people. You will uphold us, in Jesus's mighty name, by the power of Your Spirit, for the glory of Your Kingdom forever. Amen.

We need Your bright light, the true light of the gospel, to see by and to steer by. There will be challenges but, as long as You are with us, they will be overcome. We will not be fearful.

You humbled Yourself on the Cross to this point, as an example for all of us. We need to crucify spiritually what You were crucified for physically. Lord, light the fire in us again. The consuming fire, that cleanses and eventually heals, that burns away sin and indignation, hopelessness and fear. In this new month You have given the people of this world unprecedented opportunity to break from their current, busy lives. In that time of reflection and isolation, may You walk and work amongst us, use us, lift us, guide us. You will one day separate the wheat from the tares, the goats from the sheep. Prepare us for battle, O Mighty Lord. Amen. 29th Adar Wednesday 25th March Still Healer 2 Samuel 7 v1:17 Forgiveness, Lord. Forgiveness. Your commitment to forgiveness is monumental. How can we ever measure up to all that You have done? In simple faith and without guile or anger, pride or vanity, thank You Lord. No one can measure up, except the One that You sent, who was You and is You. Mighty God, Awesome God. Thank You. Brilliant, well done. You have made a way, You will lead Your children home. Super. Splendid. Brilliant. Thank You, God, in Jesus's name. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=yMji7TypHOI 28th Adar Tuesday 24th March Praising The Lord Glorify Thy Name Ezekiel 33 v1:9 Teach us, Lord. Be our lead and guide, our steersman, our shepherd. We need You, Lord. Yet You have appointed watchman, to look resolutely from the high places, to warn the people of coming danger. Whilst the present seas swell and danger looms, we should be well about our father's business. Help us Lord not be wrapped up in the affairs of the world, and please free us from any strong delusion so that we may say, see and report clearly, for Your glory, to all nations, in Jesus name. Amen. ​ 27th Adar Monday 23rd March God You're So Good ​Goodness Of God Psalm 143 v9:11 O Lord God, our Father in Heaven, You are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. You are unchanging. You alone are God. Lord, we look to You, for refuge, for deliverance, for Your glorious return. Help us prepare, Lord.

In Jesus's name we pray, amen. 26th Adar Sunday 22nd March Where You Are Jesus Messiah ​2 Thessalonians 1 v3:12 ​ Lord of Lords and King of Kings, I am a sinner saved by grace. Unworthy, never able to fulfil the Law in this life, broken, lost, afraid, wretched. But You, Lord, in Your unfathomable majesty, have counted my transgression as nothing. Not that I may be wilful or careless in my continuance, but that Your grace is more than sufficient. You have paid the price, You have called my name. If it were not so, I would make a case against You. I do not want that, Lord, nor do I claim it. You are just, You are true. You see all, and are in all and through all. I need You, Lord, to be my comfort and guide, I am but dust without You, and I wholly give myself to You this day, and every day, to be used as a vessel, a vassal, to tell and share with others, through the power of the Holy Spirit, the Good News that is the gospel of Your Son, Jesus, who was and is and ever will be the Christ. Amen. Forever. Amen. 25th Adar Saturday 21st March Our God Is A Great Big God My Lighthouse 1 Corinthians 7 v17:24 With the innocence of children we must approach Your throne, Lord. You are Sovereign, Saviour. You have paved the way for our entry by the pouring out of Your precious blood. Today, Lord, help us receive of the fulness of what You have promised, help us shed our pretences, help us lay down our thoughts, hopes and dreams. Your ways are higher, Your path is truer. You are all that You have promised and made claim to be. Let us embrace You, Lord, let us sit at Your feet and wait patiently for You to speak. Amazing grace, endless, unbounded love, thank You for this and every day, in Jesus's name. Amen. ​https://youtube.com/watch?v=CDdvReNKKuk 24th Adar Friday 20th March The Name Of Jesus Let The Name Of The Lord Be Praised 1 Thessalonians 5 v20:24 You can overcome all opposition, Lord God of Israel. You could rend the heavens and cast down every foe, smashing each one utterly. Yet You are also wise, You have also expressed a desire to set the captives free, to bring Your sheep home, to work through Your children, to use the weak to shame the mighty. In us, Lord, and through us, by the awesome reality that Jesus literally is the Messiah, 'God with us'. He made a way for Your Holy Spirit to be poured out on all peoples and all nations, that all should have an opportunity to stand or fall in relationship with Him. That is why it is called the Good News. Jesus said, "Come to Me, all you who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Today, Lord, we press in on Your promise and ask that You undo every yoke, weight and fetter not of You in Jesus's mighty name, that every hindrance be taken away and set down, so that we can come to You and worship You and serve You, for Your glory, until Your Kingdom comes. Amen. ​ 23rd Adar Thursday 19th March Your Love Never Fails As For Me And My House 2 Samuel 22 Provision Lord. So many people must come to You, with hands held out, begging for bread, begging for forgiveness, begging for release, begging for help, begging for You. Today we commit ourselves to You Lord. To prayer. To supplication. To the rejection of sin. To the tearing down of idols. Our house is a place for You. Our hands, our eyes, our bodies, every faculty and possession we own, we lay at Your feet. Problems, hopes, dreams. May You be sovereign over all, for Your glory. Where there are spirits interposed between us, let all be torn down in Your name, by Your Spirit. May You be the common thread that binds us together, and may all that stands against You be cast out and down, in Jesus's name. We want to stand and serve You this day and rejoice, as David rejoiced, to cross over the Jordan like Joshua and take the lands that You have promised, for Your glory alone. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=3gjXBMC8-oM 22nd Adar Wednesday 18th March For All You've Done God Is Able Acts 15 v6:21 You are able. King of Kings and Lord of Lords, You have made a way, You have opened the door of Your tabernacle wide, so that all who call upon Your name, the Name Above All Names, the name of Jesus, may me redeemed, healed, restored, forgiven. As we set our feet on the road today, Lord, let us seek Your face, let us find You in Your dwelling place, let us taste and see that You are good. You are God alone, protect us, father, from the tricks, traps and snares of the Devil, that we may be saved from the death he most certainly faces, in Jesus's name. Amen. ​ 21st Adar Tuesday 17th March Bind Us Together Faithful One Psalm 91 Lord of Lords and King of Kings, how we need You in our lives. Lord, today we pray a special prayer over our houses. The places where we live. The bodies You have given us, the dwelling places where we lay our heads and the churches where we come together in fellowship and praise. Thank You for giving us so much. May all be filled with worship, may You alone be sovereign over all, may Your word and Spirit dwell richly within the hearts of each. In the landlords, in the tenants, in the pastors, in the elders, in the leaders, in the children. You are the Sovereign God. You are the maker of the Heavens and the Earth. Come dwell in Your people, Your children, for Your name's sake and for Your glory, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=5vUvi-A75BU 20th Adar Monday 16th March Hosanna (Praise Is Rising) Forever 2 Chronicles 29 v20:24 Today, Lord, as we sing Your praises and celebrate all that You have done and are doing, help us to rededicate ourselves to You. As in the days of old, whenever Your children strayed, all they needed to do was to repent of their sins as they returned to You. Help us in the identifying and laying down of our sin and guide us in the words and commitment necessary that allow us to become the fullest of outpouring vessels for Your glory. Help us love with the love that transcends all other love, help us see the things that You see in our lives, in our families, in our communities, in Jesus's name. By His stripes we are healed and by His grace and sacrifice alone are we saved, so let us follow Him and fall at His feet afresh today. Amen. 19th Adar Sunday 15th March I'll Raise A Hallelujah Beautiful One Ephesians 4 v29:32 Today, Lord, we make a prayer for mothers. According to scripture, the bearers of children would be saved as they lived in faith and love and holiness, with self-control. Lord we know that You multiplied the pain of childbirth as a consequence of the original sin, as You also cursed the ground so that man would contend with it all the days of his life. Today we stand in prayer and ask You to be merciful towards the mothers of the world, to be with them in their particular travail. In this world they are being subjected to persistent and overwhelming attack by the Enemy and his servants, and we stand with them in rebuke and reproach, in Jesus's name. We bind and silence these powers and call upon You, Lord, to be merciful for Your name's sake. As the earth suffers under pangs like child birth, be merciful to Your daughters who are as Your mother once was, seeking Your face in innocence and truth. You are the Waymaker, You are our Comfort and Counsellor, and we ask You, Lord, to be who You are today for them, in Jesus's precious name, amen. 18th Adar Saturday 14th March Let The Name Of The Lord Be Praised ​The Old Rugged Cross 1 Samuel 14 v47:52 Oh Lord, it is possible to be called by You, to be used by You and to still walk away from You. Your word says that there is a way that seems right to a man that leads to destruction. Call us back from that road if we are on it today, please Lord. We are wretched at best, only given grace through faith in Your Son, and the work He completed on the Cross of Calvary. Help us cling, help us fight, help us return at every point, through the power, grace and glory of Your Holy Spirit, so those that see us know that You are the Lord. In Jesus's name we pray, amen. ​ 17th Adar Friday 13th March Here I Am To Worship Overwhelmed ​2 Corinthians 10 v7:11 Lord of Heaven and Earth, even the dust that You formed us from had character and blessing. There is none like You, every mote, every molecule, every particle You knew intimately. You do not make mistakes. You are Holy, You are perfect, You are awesome. Thank You, Lord, for all that You have done, are doing and will do. You are making a new thing, You have already overcome the world, now all that remains is the overcoming in the minds of men and women. This is the focus of our prayer today, that not my will, that not our will be done, but Yours. You are God alone, Your ways are higher, Your thoughts deeper, all that is Yours will return to You. Help us humble ourselves, help us overcome, in Your name and by the power of Your Holy Spirit, so that we are ready for Your glorious return. Amen. In the name of Jesus. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=rMTfj4xOjZk ​https://youtube.com/watch?v=eFByOX8Fb0M 16th Adar Thursday 12th March I Have Decided To Follow Jesus Holy Ground 2 Chronicles 21 v8:15 Yes, Lord, we see here how easy it is to rise up, be puffed up, to follow paths and ways of our own making, in vanity, pride or foolishness. You are the Waymaker, You alone have come to seek and save, You alone have paid the price, so that none may boast. Heavenly Father, the same who showed compassion to Hagar in the desert and blessed Sarah with fruitfulness in her dotage, we ask you to identify, muzzle, bind and cast down all powers potentates of the Enemy in our lives, so that we can align ourselves more fully with You. May any wrong paths return to Your way, any false teachers be laid down, in Your name, for Your glory. You are so worthy, Lord, yet we see in the text how the heart of man is wicked beyond measure. We need Your firm and guiding hand in our lives, and we ask this today, in Jesus's name. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=5vUvi-A75BU 15th Adar Wednesday 11th March The Lion And The Lamb Give Me Jesus ​Psalm 17 All sufficient grace. All conquering love. All consuming fire. Lord of Lords and King of Kings be exalted in all the earth. There is none like You, above or below. Matchless in majesty and splendour. Your faithfulness is as the ocean's tides. Glorious King of Heaven, we fall at Your feet. Teach us and guide us in the way we should go. Let Your rod and staff comfort us, correct our errors, forgive our sins. Thank You, Lord, for who You are and what You have done, help us, Lord, surrender ourselves to You alone. All glory, honour and praise are Yours, in Jesus's name, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=BVcXXsjD5FI 14th Adar Tuesday 10th March He Hideth My Soul As The Deer ​ Luke 14 v16:27 Study here. O Lord, Maker of the Heavens and the Earth, Comforter, Guide, Friend, the way to You is narrow and set with many dangers. We need You in each and every step, to break the chains that bind us, lift the burdens that weigh us down and, above all, to remind us who You are and what Your intention is for our life. You do not need us, You are all sufficient, all powerful, without measure. Yet You have expressed a desire to work through Your people, to walk in relationship with them, that they may receive from You the gift that You have chosen to give us through Your Son, Jesus, who is the Christ. Thank You, Father, keep us on the narrow way today we pray, in Jesus's mighty name, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=Uxviwvjyg1w 13th Adar Monday 9th March Power In The Blood Come To The River Genesis 2 v10:15 You have given us a garden to be steward over, Lord. We know that this world is not the original lavish beauty that You furnished Your creation with, yet still there remains the essence of You in each and every thing. Help us to tread carefully in this world. Though it will be burnt up one day, it is good for us not to be reckless with the blessings that You have given us. Help us be good stewards, in Jesus's name, we pray. Amen. 12th Adar Sunday 8th March Lord You're Mighty You Are God Alone Numbers 23 v22:30, 24 v1:13 Yes, Lord. We agree with Balaam, we cannot deviate from the way and words that You have set before us. There is no bounty in this life worth the bounty of what You have given. All the treasures of the earth are as dust and ashes when compared to the gift of life through Jesus Christ, Your Son. Today, Lord, help us surrender all to You, according to Your will, according to Your desire, so that we may be returned to You, to sit at Your feet, to be under the shower of Your blessing. We love You, Lord, and not any other. You are God alone, the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings, there is no spot or blemish in You, Holy One of Israel, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, Lord of All. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=8DhO5YOhTx4 11th Adar Saturday 7th March The Lord Reigns Life Song Daniel 4 v4:17 O Lord, let our thoughts of You be our only thoughts. The more we dwell in the Most High, the more He will dwell in us. Every day is a challenge, every moment an opportunity. To know You, to surrender to You. Help us be as innocent as children, as enthusiastic as new converts, as dedicated as You would want us to be, in Jesus's mighty name, amen. ​https://youtube.com/watch?v=C6rS_V0TTeY 10th Adar Friday 6th March Precious Oil Lord Of All Hopefulness 2 Timothy 1 v3:7 O Lord, how a brother looks upon another brother, how he is compassionate towards him, tender, loving, encouraging, kind. Help us, Lord, not live in a spirit of conflict and condemnation, but to live in a spirit of peace and truth. Help us see clearly, help us overcome, in Jesus's mighty name, amen. 9th Adar Thursday 5th March Fire / Like David Thank You Lord Psalm 99 ​Yes, Lord, You are King. Maker of the Heavens and the Earth, all good things come from You and return to You. Who is God alone, but Yahweh? Whose ways are higher, whose thoughts are deeper, by whom do the stars and the streams receive their power? It is You, Lord, and You alone that we long to serve, to see. It is You alone we long to sacrifice to, albeit now in the form of prayer, praise and worship. The best of our works may be as filthy rags to You, yet Lord, we strive to make a pleasing sacrifice with the work of our hands and the words of our mouths. Thank You for all the things that You have done, are doing and will do. Thank You for Your Son, Jesus, who opened up the way so that every human being would have the opportunity to be saved from death, set free from their sins. All glory, honour to You, my King, in Jesus's name forever, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=6pqn0kvXG8U 8th Adar Wednesday 4th March All For Love ​Trust And Obey Proverbs 3 v5:6 Yes, Lord. We walk by faith and not by sight. We trust in You and have faith in You. It is not because You have shown Yourself to us, though You reveal Yourself in splendour and glory as we walk closer to Your throne, but because we have surrendered our self. It is not logic, not rationality, not within our power to encompass or fully understand, yet, when we choose it, it truly reveals itself as the most excellent way. Thank You, Father, thank You, Jesus, You are called Wonderful, Counsellor. Praise the Lord! Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=NtWXZwhwKGo 7th Adar Tuesday 3rd March You Are Worthy of My Praise Every Praise Psalm 23 Every praise is due to to You, Lord of Lords and King of Kings. Who is like You that You are mindful of us? You who called Lazarus back to life, You who left the sanctity of Heaven, You who called me by my name. Thank You, Lord, for Your majesty and perfect will, thank You, Jesus, for pouring out Your blood unto death, as the atonement, once and for all, for all the world's sin and thank You, Holy Spirit, for dwelling within each of us and allowing us to experience the things of heaven in this dark and drear world. In Jesus's mighty name I pray a prayer of thanks to my maker, my creator, the author of my salvation, my captain, my King, my comforter and my friend. Amen. Forever. Amen. 6th Adar Monday 2nd March Praise To The Lord Surrender Romans 16 v25:27 O! You are more than able! Your grace is sufficient! In You we have the fulness of joy, in You we have a hope and a future. Who is like You, Jesus of Nazareth? Yeshua, Isa? You whose voice calmed the storm, whose hands blessed the bread and the fishes, whose spittle caused the blind to see, whose weakness and kindness caused a whole village of enemies to believe? With what can we compare You to? Whose love is greater beyond what we can imagine, whose sacrifice was made for all mankind, whose blood washed clean my sin, past, present and future? Holy God, Mighty King, Name Above Every Name, we lay ourselves down at Your feet in humble and simple adoration. Thank You, Jesus, thank You, Messiah, thank You, Holy Anointed One of Israel. Amen. 5th Adar Sunday 1st March Be Still For The Presence Of The Lord ​Lord Of All Hopefulness 1 Timothy 2 v5:15 Dear Lord, today I find it difficult to raise a prayer beyond groaning under the despair of a world that is fallen and lost, given over to the pursuit of pleasure and falling under the blanket of fear and idolatry. I weep, Lord, my strength leaves me. Where can I go to be rid of this feeling of wretchedness? With whom can I share in my grief and pain? From the dizzying heights of Your victory to the depths of tragic despair, I cannot abide. The burden is too great, both within and without I expire. Yet, Lord, in You I have placed my hope. In You I know that there is future. Lord, be the lifter of my head, the Rock of my salvation, my deliverer, my recompense. Even in this sea of wickedness You will wash my feet clean, for Your name's sake, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=tZIMDcgrF-Q ​https://youtube.com/watch?v=KLTu1xv2-Us 4th Adar Saturday 29th February I Surrender ​What A Beautiful Name ​ Acts 15 v36:41 O Lord, it is good for us to revisit the places and the people where we have spoken Your word and name. To strengthen and encourage, to be strengthened and encouraged. As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. Help us, this day, to revisit the open wells, to return into fellowship and custom with those that You have caused us to travel near to. Give us words to say that reveal Your compassion and mercy, in Jesus's name, amen. 3rd Adar Friday 28th February Onward Christian Soldiers He Who Would Valiant Be ​ Acts 27 v1:8 Lord of Lords and King of Kings, we do not always know our destination on this earth. It is our destination in Your Kingdom that must be a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. Whether storm or fair weather, whether Kingdom comfort or worldly distress, our set, our path, our way, must always be the one that leads to You. No other goal is purer, no other destination more fine. You are our dwelling place, lead us closer, Lord, this day, we pray. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=mHqgQjJrxI8 2nd Adar Thursday 27th February Thy Will Be Done Comfort Ye Luke 16 v1:13 Lord God of Israel, You who led Your children from captivity, help us be as shrewd as snakes in the days to come. Until Your return, Your word says that we will be subjected to false teachers and false doctrines. Your will and way do not deviate from the straight and narrow path, You do not change. Help us, Lord, to do likewise, to align ourselves with You, to follow You and Your ways, for they are higher and better, in Jesus's mighty name, amen. 1st Adar Wednesday 26th February Create In Me A Clean Heart Still Deuteronomy 9 v19:26 Lord of Grace, King of Mercy, who are we that You are mindful of us? You are King over the flood, You are a consuming fire. Thank You for not only sparing our lives, but for sending Your Son that we may know that same mercy and grace. As we come into the new month, we ask for your favour once again. Help in cleansing, help in restoring, help in directing, help in provision. To furnish us afresh with the will and the way, with the commitment to walk in this fallen, pain filled world in the perfect peace of knowing and trusting that You are infolding Your plan for redemption in a purposeful and excellent manner. Your ways are higher, lead us in pastures green, for Your name sake, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=mBcqria2wmg 30th Shebat Tuesday 25th February You Are Worthy Of My Praise What A Friend We Have In Jesus 1 Peter 1 v1:12 Weak and heavy ladened. Oh Lord, You have told us that we are not to carry a heavy load in this life. Whenever Satan comes and places a heavy load on our shoulders, we must continually surrender it all to You. The load that You carried to Calvary. Thank You, Lord for Your most excellent plan, the only way we could be set free. Thank You, Lord, thank You, Jesus. Amen. 29th Shebat Monday 24th February Consuming Fire All Who Are Thirsty Luke 9 v10:17 ​ O, Lord God of Israel, we do not have to look far for examples of Your heart and compassion for Your people. The five thousand could so easily been sent away, left to fend for themselves, You had already given them so much. And yet You knew their thirst and their hunger. You knew their physical and spiritual need. You called to heaven and blessed the loaves and the fishes, and heaven replied by supplying more than they could want or need. Such is the way of the Kingdom of Heaven, such is the provision of the holy, prayer answering Creator God. Help us today, Lord, in our commitment and honour of you. Lead us to commit a sacrifice, of prayer, of fasting, of extolling, of encouraging. Something that would bless Your heart. Not that the best of our works would be anything but filthy rags before You, but that we acknowledge and desire to be kind towards our fellow men and women as you were that day in Bethsaida, as You are every day before or since. Amen. 28th Shebat Sunday 23rd February Indescribable Here I Am Daniel 8 v5:14 Studies here, here and here. Holy Lord, You spoke to Your prophets about the times to come. You covered Your edicts in mystery so that only the discerning could interpret them, that those of an upright heart could receive knowledge and understanding through the administration of Your Holy Spirit. In this age, since the coming of Your Son, Jesus, the most part of these mysteries have been laid open so that Your children and even outsiders can see clearly the authority and power behind these prophets. You are who You say You are, You have been carefully unfolding Your work of redemption since time began. The only mystery remaining surrounds the time and nature of Your final return, the Second Coming of Your Son, Jesus. Whilst we may study and search to find the events that herald Your glorious return, it is obviously folly and foolishness to try and discern the exact date. You have said, in Your word, that no one is to know the date and time of Your return apart from Yourself. It is Yours, Lord. Keep us from this foolish endeavour, Lord, help us know that what You require of us is to be ready, day or night, summer or winter, springtime or harvest. Lamps charged, clothed in armour, lips proclaiming the Good News of the Gospel, in Jesus's name, amen. 27th Shebat Saturday 22nd February Bind Us Together One Way Jesus Job 38 v19:41 The Way, the Truth, the Life. Jesus, Lord of All, Redeemer, Risen King. At once the Father and in the Father. At once Spirit and in the Spirit. Mighty God, Awesome God, have we ever really considered You? Would our very thoughts crush us? We are not able to take it all in. Knowing this, seeing this, accepting this, how can we do anything else but worship and praise You? Today, Lord, we lift a song of praise. No strings. No caveats. No pleas. We celebrate You, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, for You are worthy to be praised. In Jesus's name, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=5Pj2P8Bn5WI 26th Shebat Friday 21st February See His Love Ever Be Numbers 6 v1:21 Separation, Lord. Separation from sin, separation from self. Self denial, rebirth. The path and passage to You is narrow, requiring us to press further and to go deeper. Requiring us, at times, to contend with principalities and powers, asking of us to surrender our all and to trust in something greater and more profound. Something eminently more able. Lord of Lords and King of Kings, please let that power flow and fill us today. We are not content with an ordinary life. Not for vain ambition or expression, but for acknowledgement of who You are and what You have done for each of us. Broken, lost, saddened, lonely and afraid, yet we are bolstered and uplifted by the One, the only One, who is able to redeem, cleanse, restore and set free. Take that freedom, Lord, we pray, and use us for Your glory in this life, that we may rest and share with You in the next. Hosanna! Jesus is Lord! Hosanna! In whose name we pray, amen! ​ 25th Shebat Thursday 20th February Lord You're Mighty Our God Reigns Here Acts 16 v16:19 Dear Lord, in the matter of spiritual warfare we give our lives wholly over to You. For guidance, protection, effectiveness and advice. We know such things as spirits, powers and potentates of the enemy are real, as Your scripture and ministry reveal to us. We need Your help in this, in discernment, in word, in action and in authority. Even the archangel Michael calls out for You to rebuke Satan. Let this be our guide and the name of Jesus be our banner, as even those not in receipt of the Holy Spirit can cast out demons in this name. Help us be bold and courageous, Lord, help us speak clearly. Lord be swift to rebuke us if we entertain, succumb or enquire of such evil spirits, we want to carry this battle forward as You commanded the disciples, casting out demons and releasing Your children from oppression. Help us in all of this dangerous business, in Jesus's mighty name we pray, amen. 24th Shebat Wednesday 19th February Peculiar People Psalm 139 Song 1 Chronicles 13 v5:14 Trusting in You, Lord, in all the things You do, have done and will do, is a measure of our faith in You. It is not to be taken lightly or for granted, You are You, Lord of All, Maker of the Heavens and the Earth, and we are not privy to Your wisdom or understanding. Your thoughts are higher, Your ways deeper. Yet, You are patient, Lord. As a Father watching over His growing children, a Shepherd watching over His sheep or a Bridegroom gazing upon His bride, You see rightly enough to bear with us through our new found exploration of the life which You have given us so abundantly. Not that we are to be frivolous or untrustworthy, You saw Uzzah's heart and know the reason for his passing, but that we are to search, seek and build trust in the confidence that You are the one who You say You are. Give ear, Oh Shepherd, and help steady and nurture our walk with You this day, in Jesus's name. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=x0-GIUqs7Zg 23rd Shebat Tuesday 18th February Let It Rain Awesome God Ephesians 4 v25:32 Oh, Lord. To live rightly before You, to be of clean thought and tongue, to wear robes of righteousness, to be free from sin. Through the blood of Your Son we are continually cleansed, washed clean, as long as we do not give over to wickedness and sin enough to grieve Your Holy Spirit. We want to be Your children and, though we know that we cannot remain free and spotless in a world filled with wickedness, we want to do all that we can to align ourselves with You. Your will, Your way. Help us, through the power and guidance of Your Holy Spirit, identify any areas of our lives not wholly surrendered to You, and, in doing so, help us discern the path of escape that Your word says You will always present to us, should we choose to look. We know steps can lead down before they lead up, we know that there can be pain in the freedom from bondage, but, if all leads to the place of perfect rest and peace, in the comfort of Your eternal dwelling place, help us also commit to paying whatever cost is necessary, for Your glory, in honour of Your Son, through the power of Your Holy Ghost. In Jesus's mighty name we pray this, amen. ​https://youtube.com/watch?v=IdJBYyNsQd0 22nd Shebat Monday 17th February Great Is Thy Faithfulness Sing, Sing, Sing John 17 v20:23 Oh! To make music with the heavens! To worship You and to praise You forever, Lord of Lords and King of Kings! You are worthy. You are Holy. You are Mighty. You are grace, mercy and compassion. Help us this day, and every day this week, to worship You in the fulness of who You are in relation to us. Father God, Blessed Son, Holy Spirit. Forgiver, Redeemer, Captain, Shepherd, King.

Amen! https://youtube.com/watch?v=GgBB863p2vw 21st Shebat Sunday 16th February Draw Me Close To You Not Be Moved ​John 16 v20:25 Lord, when we make our requests to You, help us sift rightly between our wants and needs. You are so good, You do not condemn us for asking after any thing, yet we should not test You repeatedly for vain things. Help us hear and obey, trusting that You hear our prayer and answer rightly, "Yes," "No," or, "Wait." Thank You for being so honest and amazing, thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, that we can enter Your courts and petition at the foot of Your throne. Amen. 20th Shebat Saturday 15th February How Great Is Our God The Day Thou Gavest Lord Has Ended Matthew 10 v28:33 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 sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kingdom, the power and the glory, forever and ever, amen. 19th Shebat Friday 14th February Open The Eyes Of My Heart ​Jesus I Need You Hebrews 4 v14:16 Studies here, here and here. Lord of Hosts, Maker of Heaven and Earth, there is no doubt in our minds that You are who You say You are. Yet, in receiving the fulness of this truth, there may be some areas where we are not fully aware. Your scripture says, "we now see in a mirror darkly." Today Lord, we want to push the boundaries of our understanding. To become pliable before You. to receive further, more and deeper of who You are, and what You are doing. Lord, also, we ask to know what we can do. Not to gain favour, not to win accolade or esteem, but to help, to contribute, undeservedly in all humility, to the work that You are doing. All is Your handiwork, all is a testament to Your splendour and tender mercy alone, yet we ask because You have expressed a desire to be revealed through the children of men; through the voices of Your children. In Jesus's name we ask all this, for Your glory and towards the coming of Your Kingdom on Earth. Amen. ​ 18th Shebat ​Thursday 13th February Consuming Fire Rejoice 2 Corinthians 8 v16:24 O Great And Mighty King Of All Creation, the angels and saints sing Your praises. You are on Your throne, You are at once the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. El Shaddai, Adonai, Elohim, Yeshua, Yahweh are Your names from old, You are the victor, conqueror, Lord of Lords and King of Kings. Blessed Light, everything was and is Yours by right. Our lives, our breath, our wealth, our every possession. Lord, today we ask, with reverence, fear, trembling and humility, for You to reveal the correct path in giving. In tithe. In offering. In charitable work. In blessing. In forgiveness. In peace. We want to surrender that which is Yours from the beginning, as we know also, in truth, You have and will share of everything that we will ever need, and abundantly more, in the coming again of Jesus. Help us to not hold on to the least mite, lest it should prove a burden too great to carry across the threshold of Your Kingdom. Show us rightly, Lord, we pray today, in Jesus's name, amen. 17th Shebat Tuesday 12th Shebat Take Our Hands ​All Things Bright And Beautiful ​Hebrews 13 v1:17 Lord of all grace. Lord of all hope. Lord of all truth. You see rightly. You judge perfectly. There is no spot or blemish in You, Holy God. In our brokenness You still see and fashion splendid vessels. Today we ask and pray, with much thanks, into our relationships. Our relationship with You, with each other, with our families, with our communities, with our loved ones, with our enemies, with those we have passed by, with those we have yet to meet. Lord God Almighty, God of Israel, Maker of Heaven and Earth, You go with each person on earth. You are close by, You are near. We need You to commune with others, to communicate, to relate. Where there are barriers to understanding, we want You to take and be in control. We surrender our hearts, our hands, our mouths to You, to be used for Your glory, in Jesus's name. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=D16RPGZhp5Y 16th Shebat Tuesday 11th February O Come To The Altar Precious Oil 1 Chronicles 15 v25:29 How pleasant. How good. How beautiful it is. Today, Lord we start this prayer with a declaration from the psalmist David. Thank You, Lord, for the privilege of Your blessing. Help us look with joyous, welcoming eyes on all of Your servants. A heart for You should be obvious, open and contrite, holding, as a mirror, to reflect the light that You shine into the world. The light that You shone on us when we became saved, the fire that burns but does not consume. Great Shepherd, strengthen and build Your flock, as we seek to strengthen and build each other. In prayer and praise. In the giving and receiving of instruction, In the the partaking, at Your table, of the body and the blood, of the spirit and the truth. You are our expressed desire, Lord. Bring us to You, we pray, in Jesus's name. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=x0-GIUqs7Zg 15th Shebat Monday 10th February He Has Made Me Glad ​Holding Nothing Back Nahum 3 v7:19 Lord of Lords and King of Kings, today we say a prayer to You in thankfulness, awe and wonder at the splendour of Your creation. So varied, so beautiful, so excellent in design, presence and purpose. Let all who oppose You give recognition to the amazing elegance of the worms that eat their remains. Of the flocks that graze their mighty cities. Of the water, wind and ice that tear down their mighty ramparts. O Lord, let us come to You, through Your Son, Jesus Christ, and let us celebrate the things of life, before they become the things of death to us. The birds of the air, the fish of the sea, the sunlight and the oceans all declare Your majesty, let us do likewise in recognition and acknowledgement of who You are. Maker of Heaven and Earth, Waymaker, Father God. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=mcOXuinqI9o 14th Shebat Sunday 9th February Be Thou My Vision Blessed Assurance Matthew 12 v31:37 ​ Oh, Lord Of Hosts, how we tremble in fear at the thought of coming before You. You see rightly, You discern as keenly as a scalpel that can separate marrow from the bone. We can hide no thing from You. The Bible tells us that it is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Yet, Lord, through Your Son, Jesus, we have a hope. Through Your expression of love, we have the undeserved opportunity of a future. Not a future of waste and ruin, but a future of prosperity and wealth beyond measure. What a tremendous thing to be counted among the citizens of Heaven! What a day it will be when we enter Your gates. What a joy, honour and privilege. What unmerited favour. Thank You, Lord, that You have placed this hope within our grasp. Help us, Lord, to do all that is necessary to partake of Your riches, to receive of Your wisdom, that we may glorify Your name here on this earth. Amen. 13th Shebat Saturday 8th Shebat You Are Good Praise Medley 1 Timothy 1 v3:11 Why is it, Lord, when we are assured of who You are and what You say through the truth of Your Bible, that we turn away and doubt? What causes some people to open their mouths and express opinions that are clearly not in scripture as assertive and inspired by You? Lord, we need the presence of Your Holy Spirit to discern the truth rightly. Against false doctrine, false testimony, selfish proclamation and lies we need You to be our Comfort, Rest, Tower and Shield. Help us to look truly and rightly for scripture that speaks Your truth and life into any and every situation. As Jesus did when tested in the desert, help us overcome evil with good, the power of Your inspired Word. In Jesus's name we pray this. Amen. 12th Shebat Friday 7th February Forever ​Love Has A Name 2 Kings 18 v17:35 You will deliver Your people, Lord of Lords and King of Kings. You have an expressed intent to do so. You sent Your Son as a declaration and example of Your commitment. You atoned for the sins of all mankind so that they would have the opportunity to do one of two things; to announce You or denounce You. Sennacherib's boast was once the opinion of all Your people, and a transformation from one to the other requires an alignment that will mean the same denouncement will be turned towards us. Help us, lord, with words and actions that rightly express Your love, power and authority in doing this. Convince us never to 'shrink into the crowd' or fall back on our pledge to proclaim Your gospel to the nations. You are the Way, the Truth and the Life and we will declare this unto death, if need be, if we truly believe it. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=eFByOX8Fb0M 11th Shebat Thursday 6th February One Way Jesus Casa Del Dios Matthew 10 v16:33 O Lord, to be obedient to You in a day that seems so full of woe and darkness. The wolves come against us, and devour each other. The shadows fall, the sheep cry out and the churches are full of people declaring their own salvation, whilst walking over the carcasses of others they failed to help. Only in Your Word and truth do we find hope. Only by obedience to Your direction and commands can we come under the shower of Your victory. The ongoing and ever intended march towards salvation. Help us to remain focused on You, Mighty Saviour, guide us and correct us into a life of obedience. Towards the sacred unity of Your, true church. To You alone, for the coming of Your Kingdom upon the earth. In Jesus's name, amen. 10th Shebat Wednesday 5th February Be Still For The Presence Of The Lord Be Still My Soul Ezekiel 19 v1:4 Peace, Lord, perfect peace. Rest, Lord, perfect rest. We will only know both of these when we come to Your Kingdom, on the day of Your return and forever after. Yet, Lord, You are good to share the things of Your Kingdom with Your servants here on earth. In this You bring hope and testimony of Your goodness and presence in this dark world. Today, Lord, we press into both and request a blessing of peace and rest. To dwell safely in Your arms. We are sad to admit that we are a rebellious generation, yet we look to You out of need and acknowledgement, there is no other provider of this other than You. Your Son Jesus said the same and did the same for the disciples who were anxious in the storm tossed boat, and we pray, in Your mercy and compassion, that You bring this for the people here gathered in prayer, in Jesus's mighty name, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=mBcqria2wmg ​ 9th Shebat Tuesday 4th Shebat Agnus Dei Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing Psalm 100 Praise You, Lord. Praises to You. In the Heavenly realms, all the angels of Light shout Your praise. Upon the earth the very stones would cry out if Your people did not praise You. You are worthy, worthy, worthy. In Spirit, in Life, in Truth, You are worthy. Help us lift up praises to You, Lord of Lords and King of Kings. Mighty Jehovah, be our banner, Jehovah Nissi, a name we can lift up before the peoples of the earth, so that they can see Your people, that they can believe in Him whom You sent, Jesus in whose name we pray, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=5vUvi-A75BU 8th Shebat Monday 3rd February Praise My Soul The King Of Heaven Praise Him Leviticus 13 v18:23 Study here. Holy Lord, Your word says that we are to pray for the nations. Your word says that we are to pray for the sick. Only You see clearly into the corona virus outbreak. You know the position of every virus cell. We know that sickness, famine and disease are a result of our living in a fallen world and we trust that You are working patiently towards Your the goal of salvation and redemption of Your children. We ask You to be with the families suffering loss and sickness. We pray that You reveal Yourself in transforming lives and hearts to Your purpose, in Jesus's name. We pray that You go with the carers and responders. All fall short of the mark, all have sinned and are deserving of death, yet we ask You, who is compassionate and loving enough to send Your Son to die on the Cross that all may receive, to be merciful, showing the effectiveness of our prayers to a nation, and even a world, for whom you are but a myth. In Jesus's precious name, amen. 7th Shebat Sunday 2nd February It Is Well Oceans Numbers 6 v1:21 Holy Lord God of Heaven, great is Your name in all the earth. In days of old, we could make a commitment to You in the form of a Nazirite vow. As Your Son Jesus has come, and in doing so fulfilled the whole of the law, there is now no place for animal sacrifice to complete this ritual. However, as Your children, we can make a sincere commitment to You in any of a number of areas of our lives. It is the journey, the obedience and the solemnity that You revere. Today, help us commit some area of our lives to You. Be it for a day, a year, a lifetime, You will help us to learn from it and to overcome in it. May it be specific, may it be a testimony to who You are and what You have done in our lives. In Jesus's name we pray this, asking for clear instruction and guidance from Your Holy Spirit, for Your glory in the Kingdom of Heaven. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=eFByOX8Fb0M 6th Shebat Saturday 1st February A double portion of worship this Sabbath rest, may you be blessed, in Jesus's mighty name.

We just want to dwell in Your presence, to soak in Your goodness, to bathe in Your light, to bask in Your companionship. May all the troubles of the week fall away, until all we know is You. Amazing Lord, amazing grace, let us be as leaves lifted on a gentle breeze, not stirred or troubled, but lifted and slowly turned. Let us rise, let us float, let us fall gently. Be who You are with us, let us let go of what we are to be with You.

You are so good, so patient, so loving, so kind. In a world that seems so fraught and so complicated, You are threading the Way that all Your children may follow and see. Today we pray for the nations and Your children. For the overcoming of travesty and injustice, for relief from persecution and suffering, for supernatural provision in health, wealth and well being. Lord, we feel small when we compare ourselves to the goings on and wonders of this world, yet You sent Your Son to each of us so that we could walk in faith and new life. Help us to hear of Your goodness, grace and loving kindness through the roar of social media and news casting, help us find as we seek the good things of You, that we may declare to others, with conviction, certainty and authority, the evidence that You are actively working in a fallen world. For the glory of our Father in Heaven, towards the coming of His Kingdom upon the earth. Amen. Hallelujah and amen. 4th Shebat Thursday 30th January It Is Finished El Shaddai 1 Thessalonians 5 v23:24 Here we are, Lord. You have called us. From the beginning of time. You spoke life. You spoke our names. El Shaddai. Mighty God. Only You could do this. Today we know that what is not of the devil is Your work in us. You are seeing it to completion. You are raising up people to proclaim, interpret and explain the gospel clearly, ringing, as a bell, the herald of Your coming. Jesus, we need You, Your blessing, Your covering to do this.

You are above all things, in all things and through all things. As we come before You, we can bring nothing that was not Yours in the beginning. Jesus, You are our Lord and Saviour, You have made a way. As Your love defines us and frees us, help us this day show Your love towards others, towards those sick, lost, lonely, demonised and afraid that You came to save. You are our Healer and Physician. You are our All in All.

One day You will cause us to rise. You will robe us in white and place a crown of gold upon our heads. We will then walk and talk and sit with You in the fields and city of Heaven forever. What a God You are, what a plan You have had, what a purpose You have fashioned, what a promise You have given. Jesus, the Messiah, Your Son, begotten of You, crushed and broken that we might live again. Awesome power! Mighty God! Gracious King! Beloved Father! Blessed friend!

You are Spirit and Truth. You are Jesus and the Father. Your Spirit conveys power and authority. It lives within us as we live by Your word. The Law has been overturned, anulled. But the teacher, the guardian, the guide to life is still good to know, good to come to, good to live by, if we want to walk and commune with You effectively each and every day. Jesus fulfilled every part of the Law, that no man could boast. He has finished the work. He alone overcome sin and the grave. First. That thousands and then millions and finally billions could follow. That the ocean could be made sweet. Treasure of our heart and of our souls, in our weakness You are merciful. Please, forgive us of our sins today, as we forgive those that sin against us. Help us, through the power of Your goodness and grace, to overcome the wrongful thoughts or evil spirits within them and within ourselves, that they may see clearly, that we may all enter Your Kingdom, in fear and trembling, with shouts of praise and joy.

The day set aside and holy. A day exemplified by You. Lord, in this day and age there are different interpretations of the Sabbath, on how, or even if it should be observed. But today, this day, Saturday, is Your Sabbath. May we find rest and peace in it. May we meet Jesus through Your Holy Spirit power. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=AxB9VH3cCN4 27th Tebeth Friday 24th January Here I Am To Worship 10, 000 Reasons Psalm 23 Heavenly Father, who can compare to You? In Mercy, Grace and Truth? Today we raise a prayer for ourselves and for our enemies. You came down, the expression of love that transcends all others. You encourage us to love the Lord, our God, with all of our heart, soul and mind. Then You encourage us to love our neighbours as ourselves. Lord, bless Your people. Bless those that come against Your people. Help them see the love which only You can give, that they may choose to accept You for who You are, what You are doing and what You have done. We were once lost, enemies, either knowingly or unknowingly, of the One who came to save and His servants. As You forgive and love us, help us forgive and love them, in Jesus's name, that more can be brought into the green pastures of Your Kingdom forever, amen. 26th Tebeth Thursday 23rd January Casa Del Dios (House Of The Lord) Hosanna Amos 5 v4:15 Hosanna to the King! Who is like You, Lord, in all the earth? You, who set the stars in their paths and the oceans in their beds? You who said to the birds, the bees, the trees and the fishes, "Be!" We are nothing but dust without You, yet, in this day and age, there are many who set themselves against You. All fall short of the example set by Your Son, Jesus, all except Him have sinned against You and are fully deserving of death. Yet You sent Your Son, You agreed a plan with Yourself at the very beginning. You set Yourself to redeem Your people. Help us, Lord, clean and clear ourselves once more today. To go out and be the people You would want us to be, proclaiming Your truth, sharing Your love, for all the world to see. In Jesus's name we ask this, amen. ​https://youtube.com/watch?v=r9uitdoa83w 25th Tebeth Wednesday 22nd January Consuming Fire Consuming Fire ​ John 10 v11:16 It is inevitable, Lord. Every knee will bow down and every tongue confess You as Lord. Every nation will see You. Your children will rise up from every corner of the earth. People of every nation, laying aside themselves and returning to their one, true home, their one, true family. Your Kingdom knows and will know no boundaries, no sorrows, no shame forever. Help us prepare, Lord, help us accept that Jesus is our Lord and Saviour. Help us don the simple robes of humility in place of the robes stained with the finery of human desire. In Jesus's name, for all to see. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=BHtEw2M0VBg 24th Tebeth Tuesday 21st January We Place You ​Great And Mighty Is He Genesis 43 v1:14 Surrender, Lord. Total surrender. What we care for, what we trust. Our dreams, hopes and fears. Our possessions. Our selves. All of it must be laid at Your feet. It was all Yours in the beginning. To give us confidence. To give us surety. To let us stand upon the Rock and not be shaken. Everything must go. This was the hard teaching for the young, rich man. This is hard for each and every one of us. To surrender to You is like floating on water, giving oneself over to the unknown, wholly and without restrictions. Today Lord, prepare us, teach us, guide us, encourage us, as children, to let go of every hindrance, to take down every barrier, to let You in to our lives totally and unequivocally, to make us instruments of Your will alone. No caveats, no remainders, just children of the Living God, Yahweh Yeshua, the Maker for Heaven and Earth, forever, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=AxB9VH3cCN4 23rd Tebeth Monday 20th January Here Is Love Vast As The Ocean As The Deer Pants For The Water ​ Matthew 10v38; Matthew 16v24; Mark 8v34; Luke 9v23; Luke 14v27 You are clear in Your gospels, Lord. We are to take up our crosses if we are to follow You. You encouraged the lame and the sick to take up their beds and walk, You asked the man by the pool of Siloam, "Do you want to get well?" You are not mocking them in this, as You are not mocking us. You said that, "My yoke is easy and my burden is light." Following you is an act of volition, a commitment to be maintained from the point of commitment and beyond. Help us, Lord, this day to take up our cross. Not the burden of sin and shame, that You have carried, but a burden of service, obedience and denial. It is a joy and an honour to serve You, Lord of Lords and King of Kings, as a priest, a friend, a warrior and a child. You, who put the stars in the sky and who separated the waters above from the waters below, You who, as awesome and as vast as You are, have a mind to know and walk with each of us in such an intimate way. A love like no other. What a God, what a King, our love rises to You alone, in Jesus's name, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=Uxviwvjyg1w 22nd Tebeth Sunday 19th January All Who Are Thirsty Lord Reign In Me Acts 4 v13:31 Lord of Hosts, King of Kings, You are first and foremost in all the world, in Heaven and Earth You have no equal. Awesome God, Mighty God, who delivered His people out of Egypt, who led them and retrieved them from captivity in Babylon, how we need You if we are to escape the spiritual and moral crisis of this age. This time is like no other before, only the days of Noah were so corrupt and open for destruction. But now Jesus has come. Your Holy Spirit has been sent amongst us, that all who call upon Your name may receive. In arrogance, pride, vanity and selfishness the world chooses, in full knowledge, to say, "No." For those of us that remain, for those of us who continue to cry out, send Your salve and blessing once again. Though we asked and prayed for an outpouring of Your blood last night, sweet Jesus, pour out again a libation for us, that we may be soothed in our suffering. You will come soon, You will set the captives free, You have overcome sin and the grave. Give us power and authority to stand, courage to speak, fire to cast down the lies of the evil one. He is not victorious or successful, he is defeated and awaiting destruction. Let us, like You, extinguish every fiery dart with the truth of scripture, let us hold fast to the promise of Your coming, to the good things of the Kingdom. For the Father's glory, forever, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=PnWKehsOXu8 21st Tebeth Saturday 18th January Nothing But The Blood Power In The Blood Hebrews 9 v19:28 O Holy Lord God of Heaven, the message that people are required to partake of Your blood is a hard message. For many in the time when You came down to live on earth it was too hard, and they turned away from You. Now that You have made the ultimate and final sacrifice, the idea that You have done this for each of us, that You have taken our sin and shame, is still too hard for many. How could we ever repay such a kindness? How could You carry all of my sin and shame? Yet You have and you expect nothing more than recognition for it. Jesus, the man, lived on earth a perfect life and rose again, at one with God, and at once God, the fulfilment of prophecy and plan, that humankind could be saved and redeemed to a life in symbiotic relationship with the Father who created us. Help us Lord, and help those outside of Your covenant, to see the passage You made through the sacrifice, to see, surrender and accept the gift of a life relationship with You, that we might live and recover and then reach out to others in Your name. The name above all names, Jesus, the Messiah, the Holy One of God. Amen. 20th Tebeth Friday 17th January Waiting Here For You O Come To The Altar ​ Colossians 4 v2:6 Some of us are hurting, Lord, some of us are lonely. Some of us are afraid.

We want You to come now, You have a plan to redeem many. Help us be Your people. Help us be patient. We are sorry for being downcast, for the things we do and the words we speak that do not honour or glorify You. Help us in this small thing, that speaks so much of who we are. In Jesus's mighty name, overcome in our hearts and our minds, Lord, for Your glory, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=dtj-G1gKnD8 19th Tebeth Thursday 16th January Great Is Thy Faithfulness Ancient Words Jeremiah 24 v1:7 Ancient words.

Continue to shape us and mold us, to correct us and rebuke us. Thank You for Your word. Your Son, blessing us and believing in us. Forming us in our mothers' wombs.

Wonderful, Counselor, Comforter, Prince of Peace are names given to You in scripture. Awesome, amazing, splendid, beautiful, brilliant, words that we could take from our own. But how does brilliance relate to Your majesty? To Your compassion? Your Patience? Lord, help us express ourselves to the fullest of our ability when praising You, when testifying to all that You have done in our lives. Give us the energy of children, the wisdom of saints and the enthusiasm of a wretched life snatched from the fire by unmerited favour, so that we can speak and tell of Your great goodness, Jesus, our King, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=G689PlEXiXk 17th Tebeth Tuesday 14th January Psalm 63 Peculiar People Ezekiel 32 v17:32 Oh Lord, it is comfort to know that all that is sensual and cruel will pass away when You return. In Your Kingdom we may find relief in this. Today we pray against all the powers and potentates of the Enemy. Those things that crawl and carouse. Those things that despise and deceive. Those things that persecute and dishonour. Both within and without, we pray against them in the name of Jesus. He came to set the captives free. He shed His blood that we might receive of the Holy Spirit. He bore our burden unto death that we might live. Yes, Lord, we come together in prayer against those that come together against You, for Your glory, for the coming of Your Kingdom we pray. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=I5zY3odoE5E 16th Tebeth Monday 13th January Come To Me ​Your Love O Lord ​ 2 Peter 3 v8:12 Wow. A day with You is as a thousand years.

Help us live this day in accordance with Your will, that we might shine Your love and share Your brilliance with others. You, who would leave the ninety nine to go in search of the one, be our rock and our salvation that we may reach out in confidence and truth, for Your glory, for Your Kingdom. Whilst we were yet sinners, You died for us, help us remember that as we sew in hope of a real harvest, in Jesus's name, amen. 15th Tebeth Sunday 12th January Psalm 19 Peace Ecclesiastes 9 v1:6 O Lord God of Heaven, the wisdom of Solomon rings true as he looks and observes the world at Your feet. Yet You have sent Your Son. Through Him, through His blessing, through His sacrifice, through His love, we are able to claim and choose life, even as the undeserving wretches that transgress Your law. We look to You, we can learn from You, we can ask You, You who are alive within each of us that answer Your call. No matter how hard the situation, no matter how high the seas, You will see us through. You have paid the price, once and for all, so that we do not have to be afraid or uncertain. That we can find perfect peace each and every time that we seek it. Through the price and the power of Jesus's blood, amen. Praise to the King of Kings! Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=5L4FbKbyIeA 14th Tebeth Saturday 11th January Be Thou My Vision Rooftops Psalm 62 v5:8 Oh Lord, it is good to sing Your praises.

To make a place and time to come before You and listen. You know where this place is. You are already there. We look forward to meeting with You and hearing what you will have to say, in Jesus's name. Amen. ​ 13th Tebeth Friday 10th January Blessed Be Your Name I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever Deuteronomy 33 v25:27 Today, Lord, we pray for the nations. You are sovereign over all of them, You have appointed leaders and caused nations to prosper. Yet the choice of whom nations serve rests with their people. Today we pray against the strong men of nations that may seek things other than to serve the Lord of Hosts, the King of Kings, the God of Isaac and of Israel. Wherever lust, fanaticism, greed and selfishness are proclaimed we tear down that authority in the name and by the precious blood of Jesus Christ, who once and for all won the victory over Satan and the grave.

You have paid the price. You have expressed Your intention to save Your children, to redeem them from certain death, to give them new life, to trade their robes of wickedness for robes of glory. It is a measure of Your goodness that You have decided to do this. This is not a new decision or direction, it was a commitment You decided upon before the world was made. Mighty God, Father of all, we pray to You for blessing, for provision, for guidance, for teaching, for patience, for forgiveness, yet You have furnished these upon us from the start. Help us Lord, to stand humbly in front of You, that You might look upon us with pity and compassion, and lead us once again, in Jesus's name, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=0fZ-tBR7LJ0 8th Tebeth ?Sunday 5th January I Am Not Alone Psalm 23 ?Job 30 v30:31, Job 31 v1:28 Who are we that we can walk in the sanctuary of Your loving grace? Upright and unafraid? We are not as Job, blameless before You. We are not righteous or worthy, spotless or without blame. And yet, by the blood of the Lamb You have caused us to be spotless and blameless before You. What an honour, what a privilege, what a price You have paid to redeem us from sin. Wonderful! Counselor! Comforter! Friend! What a brilliant and amazing gift You are, Jesus of Nazareth. The humble carpenter's son, born of the Spirit, raised to glory for bearing our sins, for living a life of perfect obedience to the Law, something no other could do.

Like lifting the last leg when we learn to float on water, or taking the last step from the shore to the ship, giving ourselves over can at first be uncomfortable, a nervous experience. There we join again with all the angels and saints. To know You is to love You. To trust You is to surrender ourselves fully to You, even if it cost us our lives. To grow in You and learn from You is worth the temporary discomfort, for the lasting comfort that is in Your reward for us is eternal. Holy and Heavenly Lord, help us in this today, through the power of Your Holy Spirit, in Jesus's name, amen. Glory hallelujah and amen. ?https://youtube.com/watch?v=Fg-QeZa6ZEQ 6th Tebeth Friday 3rd January Fine Psalm 23 ? Mark 7 v31:37 Oh Lord God of Israel, God of Abraham, Maker and Saviour of Heaven and Earth. How we pray to You to unstop our ears and correct our speech. Help us be an expression of Your love to others, let Your words flow through our mouths. You are so worthy and we humble ourselves before You, as slow witted and clumsy as we are, in Jesus's mighty name. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=UaEZeNz3EsI 5th Tebeth Thursday 2nd January Goodness Of God My Lighthouse Romans 8 v36:39 Singular in thought, singular in vision, that is how we want to be before You, Lord of Lords and King of Kings. Not distracted, not mindful of other things. Totally and wholly committed to You. No other thing matters. The matter of Your Son crucified is a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to the gentiles, yet, when seen clearly, is the foundational truth of Your identity and authority. That You came down. That You won the victory. That You offer freely the gift of full salvation. Who is like You in this? Who can compare? In majesty or magnanimity there is no other, no equal. Matchless, blessed, transcendent love of God. The love of the Creator for the Created. Thank You, Lord. We kneel. We bow down. We ask that You bring others. As You love us, help us love them. That they may see Your glory, through the power of Your Holy Spirit, in Jesus's name, amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=D58HbxSw5R4 4th Tebeth ?Wednesday 1st January God Will Take Care Of You Are You Washed? Philippians 2 v1:11 We are all coming to You. Old and young, living and passed, black, white, yellow, pink, green, blue and brown. Every nation, every tongue. Each and every one will bow their knee and confess You as Lord. As the calendar turns another year, it only counts another movement closer, another day approaching. Lord prepare us, Your people, help us too, wherever possible, snatch others from the fire. Not for our comfort or glory, but that others may come to know the wonder, joy and brilliance of Your salvation, Your victory, Your love. You have done it, that no man may boast. You are called Wonderful, Counsellor. Thank You Jesus, lead us on to peace and Your untrammeled glory. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=hqgC1tqifV8
