7 Simple But Powerful Prayers

7 Simple But Powerful Prayers

As the sparrow finds herself a home and the swallow her nest,

Psalm 84

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

84 For the leader. On the gittit. A psalm of the sons of Korach:

² How deeply loved are your dwelling-places,
Adonai-Tzva’ot!
³ 

My soul yearns, yes, faints with longing

for the courtyards of Adonai;
my heart and body cry for joy
to the living God.

⁴ As the sparrow finds herself a home
and the swallow her nest, where she lays her young,
[so my resting-place is] by your altars,
Adonai-Tzva’ot, my king and my God.

⁵ How happy are those who live in your house;
they never cease to praise you! (Selah)
⁶ How happy the man whose strength is in you,
in whose heart are [pilgrim] highways.

⁷ Passing through the [dry] Baka Valley,
they make it a place of springs,
and the early rain clothes it with blessings.
⁸ They go from strength to strength
and appear before God in Tziyon.

⁹ Adonai, God of armies, hear my prayer;
listen, God of Ya‘akov. (Selah)
¹⁰ God, see our shield [the king];
look at the face of your anointed.
¹¹ Better a day in your courtyards
than a thousand [days elsewhere].
Better just standing at the door of my God’s house
than living in the tents of the wicked.

¹² For Adonai, God, is a sun and a shield;
Adonai bestows favor and honor;
he will not withhold anything good
from those whose lives are pure.

¹³ Adonai-Tzva’ot,
how happy is anyone who trusts in you!

Remember What G-d has DONE

In a hurry to prepare on the eve of Shabbat supper I'm standing starring at the total of the cashier register

$7.77.  Quickly I pay the total and rush home, but continue to wrestle with the thought is G-d trying to tell me something with these numbers.  I finished my evening with worship and praise.  The following day I rise in prayer and Thanks giving for the past week and all His goodness.  Again I stumble with the nagging thoughts of the numbers 7.77 I began my day in prayer and worship to G-d.  I ask the L-rd for revelation of the numbers 7.77.  Praise the L-rd my G-d,  He so eloquently pointed out His message to me.
"Remember What G-d has DONE"  the consling memory of G-d's Redemptive works. (take notice today's date is 7-7-12)  I am led to read Psalm 77.

Psalm 77

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

77 For the leader. For Y’dutun. A psalm of Asaf:

² I cry aloud to God,
aloud to God; and he hears me.
³ On the day of my distress I am seeking Adonai;
my hands are lifted up;
my tears flow all night without ceasing;
my heart refuses comfort.
⁴ When remembering God, I moan;
when I ponder, my spirit fails. (Selah)

⁵ You hold my eyelids [and keep me from sleeping];
I am too troubled to speak.
⁶ I think about the days of old,
the years of long ago;
⁷ in the night I remember my song,
I commune with myself, my spirit inquires:
⁸ “Will Adonai reject forever?
will he never show his favor again?
⁹ Has his grace permanently disappeared?
Is his word to all generations done away?
¹⁰ Has God forgotten to be compassionate?
Has he in anger withheld his mercy?” (Selah)
¹¹ Then I add, “That’s my weakness —
[supposing] the Most High’s right hand could change.”

¹² So I will remind myself of Yah’s doings;
yes, I will remember your wonders of old.
¹³ I will meditate on your work
and think about what you have done.

¹⁴ God, your way is in holiness.
What god is as great as God?

¹⁵ You are the God who does wonders,
you revealed your strength to the peoples.
¹⁶ With your arm you redeemed your people,
the descendants of Ya‘akov and Yosef. (Selah)

¹⁷ The water saw you, God;
the water saw you and writhed in anguish,
agitated to its depths.
¹⁸ The clouds poured water, the skies thundered,
and your arrows flashed here and there.
¹⁹ The sound of your thunder was in the whirlwind,
the lightning flashes lit up the world,
the earth trembled and shook.

²⁰ Your way went through the sea,
your path through the turbulent waters;
but your footsteps could not be traced.
²¹ You led your people like a flock
under the care of Moshe and Aharon.

I am led to make a numeric formula   100-77=23 

So I look up Psalm 23

Psalm 23

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

23 A psalm of David:

Adonai is my shepherd; I lack nothing.
² He has me lie down in grassy pastures,
he leads me by quiet water,
³ he restores my inner person.
He guides me in right paths
for the sake of his own name.
⁴ Even if I pass through death-dark ravines,
I will fear no disaster; for you are with me;
your rod and staff reassure me.

⁵ You prepare a table for me,
even as my enemies watch;
you anoint my head with oil
from an overflowing cup.

⁶ Goodness and grace will pursue me
every day of my life;
and I will live in the house of Adonai
for years and years to come.

The L-rd the Shepard of His People - As I finish reading Psalm 23, I can't help notice Psalm 24,

The King of  Glory and His Kingdom.  The entire Psalm 24 ministers to my heart, but verse 8 is the great question;  "Who is this King;"  This is an ancient poem describing the coming of Yeshua "Jesus"

Psalm 24

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

24 By David. A psalm:

The earth is Adonai’s, with all that is in it,
the world and those who live there;
² for he set its foundations on the seas
and established it on the rivers.

³ Who may go up to the mountain of Adonai?
Who can stand in his holy place?
⁴ Those with clean hands and pure hearts,
who don’t make vanities the purpose of their lives
or swear oaths just to deceive.
⁵ They will receive a blessing from Adonai
and justice from God, who saves them.
⁶ Such is the character of those who seek him,
of Ya‘akov, who seeks your face. (Selah)

⁷ Lift up your heads, you gates!
Lift them up, everlasting doors,
so that the glorious king can enter!
⁸ Who is he, this glorious king?
Adonai, strong and mighty,
Adonai, mighty in battle.

⁹ Lift up your heads, you gates!
Lift them up, everlasting doors,
so that the glorious king can enter!
¹⁰ Who is he, this glorious king?
Adonai-Tzva’ot —
he is the glorious king. (Selah)

As I continue to search for the answer I come across  Matthew 21:1-10

 

Matthew 21:1-10

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

21 As they were approaching Yerushalayim, they came to Beit-Pagei on the Mount of Olives. Yeshua sent two talmidim ² with these instructions: “Go into the village ahead of you, and you will immediately find a donkey tethered there with its colt. Untie them and bring them to me. ³ If anyone says anything to you, tell him, ‘The Lord needs them’; and he will let them go at once.” ⁴ This happened in order to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet,

⁵ “Say to the daughter of Tziyon,
‘Look! Your King is coming to you,
riding humbly on a donkey,
and on a colt, the offspring of a beast of burden!’^[a]

⁶ So the talmidim went and did as Yeshua had directed them. ⁷ They brought the donkey and the colt and put their robes on them, and Yeshua sat on them. ⁸ Crowds of people carpeted the road with their clothing, while others cut branches from trees and spread them on the road. ⁹ The crowds ahead of him and behind shouted,

“Please! Deliver us!”^[b]

to the Son of David;

“Blessed is he who comes in the name of Adonai!”

“You in the highest heaven! Please! Deliver us!”^[c][d]

¹⁰ When he entered Yerushalayim, the whole city was stirred. “Who is this?” they asked. 

I turn to Revelations 19 

Revelation 19

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

19 After these things, I heard what sounded like the roar of a huge crowd in heaven, shouting,

“Halleluyah!
The victory, the glory, the power of our God!
² For his judgments are true and just.
He has judged the great whore
who corrupted the earth with her whoring.
He has taken vengeance on her
who has the blood of his servants on her hands.”

³ And a second time they said,

“Halleluyah!
Her smoke goes up forever and ever!”

⁴ The twenty-four elders and the four living beings fell down and worshipped God, sitting on the throne, and said,

“Amen!
Halleluyah!”

⁵ A voice went out from the throne, saying,

“Praise our God, all you his servants,
you who fear him, small and great!”

⁶ Then I heard what sounded like the roar of a huge crowd, like the sound of rushing waters, like loud peals of thunder, saying,

“Halleluyah!
Adonai, God of heaven’s armies,^[a]
has begun his reign!

⁷ “Let us rejoice and be glad!
Let us give him the glory!
For the time has come for the
wedding of the Lamb,
and his Bride has prepared herself —
⁸ fine linen, bright and clean
has been given her to wear.”

(“Fine linen” means the righteous deeds of God’s people.)

⁹ The angel said to me, “Write: ‘How blessed are those who have been invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb!’” Then he added, “These are God’s very words.” ¹⁰ I fell at his feet to worship him; but he said, “Don’t do that! I’m only a fellow-servant with you and your brothers who have the testimony of Yeshua. Worship God! For the testimony of Yeshua is the Spirit of prophecy.”
¹¹ Next I saw heaven opened, and there before me was a white horse. Sitting on it was the one called Faithful and True, and it is in righteousness that he passes judgment and goes to battle. ¹² His eyes were like a fiery flame, and on his head were many royal crowns. And he had a name written which no one knew but himself. ¹³ He was wearing a robe that had been soaked in blood, and the name by which he is called is, “THE WORD OF GOD.” ¹⁴ The armies of heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. ¹⁵ And out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down nations — “He will rule them with a staff of iron.”^[b] It is he who treads the winepress from which flows the wine of the furious rage of Adonai, God of heaven’s armies. ¹⁶ And on his robe and on his thigh he has a name written:

KING OF KINGS

AND

LORD OF LORDS.

¹⁷ Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out in a loud voice to all the birds that fly about in mid-heaven, “Come, gather together for the great feast God is giving, ¹⁸ to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of generals, the flesh of important men, the flesh of horses and their riders and the flesh of all kinds of people, free and slave, small and great!” ¹⁹ I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to do battle with the rider of the horse and his army. ²⁰ But the beast was taken captive, and with it the false prophet who, in its presence, had done the miracles which he had used to deceive those who had received the mark of the beast and those who had worshipped his image. The beast and the false prophet were both thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. ²¹ The rest were killed with the sword that goes out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.

Verse 4 speaks of the 24 Elders, which leads me back to the ancient Psalm 24 that captured my attention,

"Who is this King"   

So back to the question the L-rd pounded in my heart to search,

Remember What G-d has DONE!

What a beautiful way to remember what G-d has done for me.

Bless the L-rd   Oh' my soul   Psalm 103.

Shabbat Shalom to my dear friend, Myra who sent me this question by David Wilkerson.

"YHVH" is able to raise the Dead!

  April 17, 2012 late at night at about 11:04 pm I was about to watch the news and I heard a bang and some other strange noises and looked out my window. I saw a man on the ground screaming ...."Don't Die" "somebody help me" I ran and grabbed my phone an yelled out to my son to call the police. When I reached the man on the edge of the side walk he was rocking his brother in his arms crying out "he's dead" I took a look at his brother and he was bleeding and laid in his brother's arms lifeless. A woman came running and started giving him resuscitation. I instantly thought this man cannot die yet, He needs another chance, so I reached out my arm over him and the woman thought I was trying to move her out away from him, she was yelling something about that she knew what she was doing, I explain to her that I needed to pray for him. so, I started crying out to the top of my lungs to G-d to not take his spirit, to give him another chance, I cried out to G-d, I pleaded to give him back his spirit. the lady that was trying to give him
resuscitation, she got up an came around me and also extended her hands to the young lad, and prayed in Yeshua's name, when I said, wake up in the name of "Yeshua" he open his eyes, Hallelujah ..I screamed out, Hallelujah to the King. The young man had his eyes wide open and was breathing, he looked confused, but was full of life. The police immediately surrounded him. He was still bleeding but fully awake, glory be to G-d......I have shared this, not to receive any heroism, but to share the Great miracle my neighborhood witnessed. The bible says, in Acts 2:17-22 17 “‘In the last days, G-d says,I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy,your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. 18 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. 19 I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. 20 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. 21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ 22 “Fellow Israelite"  listen to this: Yeshua HaMashiach was a man accredited by G-d to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which G-d did among you through him, as you yourselves know. I heed to every one to draw close to G-d, for Know one knows when our time has come to face the living G-d. Love and Blessings to all.

The Preparation of The Holy Passover

Yeshua  prepared for the Passover

Mark 14:14,15  Wherever he goes in, say to the master of the house, "The Rabbi says, "Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with my disciples?  Then he will show you a large upper room, furnished and prepared; there make ready for us."

Hebrews 11:23-29
By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king's command.
by faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of G-d than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, esteeming the reproach of  Yeshua greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward.
By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.  By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned.

1 Corinthians 5:7 Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened.  For indeed Yeshua , our Passover, was sacrificed for us.  Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Isaiah 40:21 Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?

Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Yeshua HaMashiach, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of  YHVH.
