Dear Heavenly Father, I come before you to ask for clarity with all that is happening in my life at this time. Father, it seems like every day is just so challenging. I know you are there for me, and i find comfort in this. I know these struggles are my cross to bear right now. But dear Lord, I need to get work, I need this for my family. I am truly sorry for all that I have done, to fall short of your glory. I ask for your grace and mercy Father, just for today. I love you Jesus, so much.
Shalom, Jimmy,
You are already righteous. You have right standing with Father now because of the blood of Yeshua. He has already, ALREADY given you...according as His divine power has given us, EVERY THING we need for life and godliness through the KNOWLEDGE of Him who has called us to glory and virtue. Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises that by these we might be made partakers of His divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lusts.
You are already blessed, Jimmy. Blessing abound towards you as a child of God. The problem is we don't know how to appropriate them. I love the story of the children of Israel. Taken out of Egypt and moving towards the promise land, that by all research has shown, should have taken about 10 days. Why 40 years? Well, I believe it's because they had become so accustomed to Egyptians ways/culture that it had become a part of who they were. They were, after all, in bondage with hard taskmasters. Either conform or die. Do you realize that when the children of Israel had come out of Egypt, not one was feeble? Each one was restored to health. Broken legs, arms, bodies, healed. Missing limbs, restored. Blind eyes, see. Deaf ears, hear. Diseased, sickness, gone. All had to be able to run out of Egypt quickly. That blood on the doorposts and lintels, saved the firstborn. The roasted lamb that was eaten, healed and restored strenth to them. Even with all the miracles that they saw during the plagues and when coming out of Egypt, their mindset was still stuck in Egypt. The promise land given them, yet forty years later they were still in a defeatest mentality mode. Sent spies into the land and two came back with a good report, man, look at this fruit, you should see the houses and the land, flowing with abundance! Yep, it's ours, lets go take it from those illegals. Ten came back, man you should see the size of their beds, 10 ft long, and their clothes, those people are giants. Did you see their swords, one swipe and it would take 10 of us out at one time! I'm not going. (my rendention of the story). Two saw victory, 10 saw defeat. Two saw the hand of the Lord for them, ten didn't see God at all. Because of this, those who were adults coming out of Egypt,(except Joshua and Caleb) never made it to the promised land, only the younger generation.
They say history repeats itself. We could take this story of the children of Israel and apply it to believers. We are called out of darkness (Egypt) into marvelous light (the kingdom of God), yet because the full gospel is not being preached, we believe that we need to continually confess the negative parts of us, when God has said in Philemon 1:6 That the communication of your faith may become effectual by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is in you in Christ Jesus.
The word of God says that on the cross Yeshua cried out "It is finished!" In Isaiah 53 it says that He 'bore our griefs and carried our sorrows' which when I meditated on this seem to tell me, that those concerns that we believe is our cross to bear, has already been carried by Yeshua for He says in Matt Come to me, all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you REST. Take my yoke upon you and LEARN of me for I am meek and lowly in heart and you shall find REST unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Scripture says that we have been blessed with every spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. Now unto Him who is able to do EXCEEDING abundantly ABOVE ALL that we ask or think, ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT WORKS IN US.
You are blessed with faithful Abraham. All the blessings bestowed on him has been given to us, because we are the seed of blessed Abraham.
When you gave your life to Christ, your spirit was born again. All that God is was deposited in your (our) spirit. In Him was the fulness of God. We have the fulness of God in us...One with Christ by Holy Spirit. In our spirit is the kingdom of God, which is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. So why don't we see it? Because of a mindset that is stuck in Egypt.
Father, thank you for the mind of Christ that has been deposited in Jimmy's spirit. Let this mind rise up and begin to pour out truth to him. Thank you that he has favor with you already because he had been made righteous by the blood of the Lamb and has been blessed with faithful Abraham. Let this job come forth that will not only cause him to rise up in joy and expectation to do this job, but also to be a blessing, a help and encouragement to his employers and co-workers. Send out your angels to prepare the way for his resume's and applications to be placed on top of the pile and let favor pour forth as the hand that touches it knows that this is a man of integrity and one they want for their company. Let there be more than one job offer and with abundance of benefits and wages. We call forth that job to come forth, for your word says that we call forth those things that be not as though they were...Job come forth!
Thank you FAther for favor, blessings abundant...in Yeshua's name. Amen.
