I was reading this morning in Psalm 55 where David talks about the battle that is going on around him. What is his answer for facing the battle? He says: “Evening and morning and noon will I cry ALOUD.” How often does he pray? Not just once a day but morning, noon, and night. And how does he pray? He doesn’t say a little prayer in his mind. He cries aloud. There’s something about crying out loud to God, especially when you are facing a battle.Currently we are in a war, a war for freedom against tyranny. Many countries are facing fierce battles such as Canada, New Zealand, Australia. We must stand with them. We must cry aloud for them. Prayer is our greatest weapon of war.

God’s promise in Deuteronomy 33:24, 25 is reassuring: ”As thy days, so shall thy strength be.” But have you read it in context? It’s in the passage of the prophetic blessing upon the tribe of Asher which says: “Let Asher be blessed with children” and then it concludes with “As thy days, so shall thy strength be.” Isn’t that amazing?
I am a freedom lover. In fact, I am a freedom fighter. However, I also believe in boundaries. True freedom is only found in the boundaries that God assigns for us. A train running on its tracks is free to go anywhere the tracks take it. However, if the train decides it doesn’t want the confinement of tracks and veers off, it would be its destruction.
Another reader commented on my post about contacting the Canadian Embassy to voice our concern over Trudeau taking dictatorship of Canada. She reminded us that our war is not against flesh and blood. Agree. She also mentioned that people in the Old Testament often did things their own way and got screwed up. We certainly don’t always do everything correctly.
In my post about what is happening in Canada, one reader commented that I should keep my eyes in my own back yard. I think it is important to line up all our thoughts with God’s Word, don’t you? What is God’s heart about this matter?
Are you horrified, as I am, at what is happening in Ottawa, Canada? It is unbelievable to think that Trudeau has invoked the Emergencies Act to gain total control over the peaceful protestors in Canada. They even want to freeze the bank accounts of anyone who has been involved or helped financially. They are not only tyrannizing but stealing!
Oh, how I love God’s Word. It is new every morning. And it is so practical and relating to life. This morning I read about the different functions of the priests and Levites in 1 Chronicles chapter 9. We often think of the priests in the functions of praying and blessing God’s people. But the Bible talks about their mundane tasks which they had to do from day to day.
When God brought forth the first beautiful woman from the side of Adam, what realm did she come into? She immediately came forth to be a wife . . . and then a mother. After the glorious introduction of Eve to Adam, God states: "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his WIFE: and they shall be one flesh” (Genesis 2:24).
The Song of Solomon is full of glorious descriptions of the Bridegroom to the bride and vice versa. Shall we look at one today? The Bridegroom speaks in Song of Solomon 7:6: “How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!”
Be encouraged. Your trials and challenges often turn in to blessings. Don’t focus on your trials; turn your attention to the Lord. Keep your eyes on Him and He will carry you through.

At the beginning of this year a member of our church fellowship shared some insights she had read from the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders, a group of intercessors who meet together every year to pray and seek God for what He is saying to the body of Christ.
I posted yesterday about living in the true reality, the reality of the heavenly world. How can we practically do we do this?
The reality of life is our day-to-day responsibility to manage our homes, feed, nurture, and train our children—and attend to all the interruptions of our children. But there is another reality, a reality that has the power to affect our daily lives in our home. It is the reality of the heavenly.
Mother, you are the backbone. You are the hidden strength of the nation. When a mother vacates her mothering role, the nation weakens.
This is an interesting principle, isn’t it? I read the other morning in Numbers 33:54: “And ye shall divide the land by inheritance among your families; and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance.”
