Elect to follow God - 2nd Sam 5

8th Year 12-13 Edition 3 – 2nd Sam. 5 l The Feast l Nov 6_2012 II Sam 5 National Days of Prayer Day 40 of 40 Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully Feast in the book of 2 Samuel 5. We see God make David king over all of His people. The Lord God leads David so he takes the strong-hold of Zion. One nation under God, David's kingdom established. Guides David so that he defeats the Philistines. “22 And the Philistines came up yet again and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim. 23 And when David inquired of the Lord, he said, “You shall not go up; go around to their rear, and come against them opposite the balsam trees. 24 And when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then rouse yourself, for then the Lord has gone out before you to strike down the army of the Philistines.” 25 And David did as the Lord commanded him, and struck down the Philistines from Geba to Gezer.” 2 Samuel 5:22-25 English Standard Version (ESV). When people call and wait on the Lord God, he defends them. If we wait on God, he will go before us. 40 Days of Prayer day 40, Prayer for our nation by, -Prayer for America – ELECTION DAY - Connection! (Devotions for Every Day Life) Prayer for America – ELECTION DAY Posted: 05 Nov 2012 10:00 PM PST “Who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?” –Esther 4:14 The well-known story of Esther becoming queen at a crucial time in the history of the Jewish people has inspired many through the years. The Jews faced annihilation at the hands of their enemies. Esther would be putting her life in danger by speaking out, but her cousin Mordecai’s words gave her the courage she needed. He appealed to the timing of her part in this drama, “for such a time as this.” I believe it is God’s timing that you have prayed your way through this little book. Like Esther, we are living in perilous times in which our nation is under assault from foreign enemies, and from those within who have failed to understand the critical role of the Christian faith to the greatness of America. It is a situation that cannot simply be fixed by a new leader, new plan, or different strategy. We need the intervention of God! God steps in when His people passionately ask Him to. The most important thing Christians can do for America is to pray. In these days of distress, the Lord is raising up a people who will intercede with faith and fervency! You are answering the call. Pray . . . for such a time as this! Prayer Points • Thank the Lord for His great gift of prayer. • Pray for a clearer understanding of the days in which we live and how we should pray. • Pray for a spirit of prayer to come over the church in America. My Prayer for our nation for such a time as this.” Father, I am so grateful that You hear when we call. For weeks now, we have been praying for our beloved nation. Thank You for calling us to prayer and showing us how to pray. Give us an understanding of the times in which we live and Your purposes for our nation. We want always to line up our prayers with Your desires. Would You pour out a spirit of prayer upon the church in America? Show us that we are indeed called to pray Today we finish our 40 days of prayer for our nation, thank you for praying with us. I hope you will continue reading God's Word everyday with us. Be still and listen for God's purpose in everything you do. Help us keep the first thing first that is salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. “making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.” Ephesians 1:9-10 ESV The Feast Tue., November 6, 2012, 2nd Samuel 5, - “David king over all Israel.
