Philippians 4:1-13

Therefore, my beloved and longed-for brethren, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, beloved. (Philippians 4:1)
      Lord Jesus, help each of us know in our hearts that we are beloved by you.

I implore Euodia and I implore Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord. (Philippians 4:2)
      Holy Spirit, help each of us know our responsibility for making peace within the Body of Christ.

And I urge you also, true companion, help these women who labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life. (Philippians 4:3)
      Father, bless the Sisters of St. Mary and the Daughters of the King in their ministry of prayer and intercession for the diocese. Raise up many more vocations to this life of prayer and intercession.

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! (Philippians 4:4)
      Father, help each of us daily make this choice.

      A word received 8/12/09: Rejoice!

Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. (Philippians 4:5)
      Jesus, thank you for standing by us; help us have your gentleness and compassion for one another.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; (Philippians 4:6)
      Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on his faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, and he shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and he shall bring it to pass. He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him; do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; do not fret — it only causes harm. (Psalm 37:18 )

and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7)
      Father, thank you for the peace you give us — help us receive it and rest in your arms.

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things. (Philippians 4:8 )
      Holy Spirit, give us grace to restrict what we view on TV or the Web.

The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you. (Philippians 4:9)
      Jesus, help us put into practice the things you have been teaching us. Thank you.

But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last your care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity. Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:10-13)
      Holy Spirit, help us reach out to our brothers and sisters with your love and compassion. Help us learn to be content with what you supply.

A word received: Pray without ceasing.

The goodness of God

Luke 18:19
So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.
O God, no one is good but One, and that is You.

Acts 10:38
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.
O God, no one is good but One, and that is You.

Romans 2:4
Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
O God, no one is good but One, and that is You.

2 Corinthians 9:8
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.
O God, no one is good but One, and that is You.

Ephesians 2:10
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
O God, no one is good but One, and that is You.

Israel

A fresh attmept to block Israel’s legal naval blockade of Gaza—

Alleluia. Sing ye a new song to the Lord; let his praises resound over the Mediterranean waves. Let the people of Israel be glad in him, who made them; and let the daughters of Zion rejoice in their King.

The Lord reigns over the Israeli coast and waters. The sea birds cry His praise. The waves dance and break into applause. The wind cavorts in joy.

The saints shall rejoice in triumph; they shall sing joyfully all night long, the full out joyings of God in their throats. The living and active words in their hands punish and bind princes and potentates of the unseen world, mighty powers in this dark world, and evil spirits in the heavenly places. We bind the Israel-hating spirits in chains and place all spirits lusting for Jewish blood in manacles.

The saints speak aloud the words of Holy Scripture and execute the judgement written against these wicked forces. This is the glory for all his saints.

Inspired by Psalm 149

Luke 23:8-12

Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad; for he had desired for a long time to see him, because he had heard many things about him, and he hoped to see some miracle done by him. (Luke 23:8 )
      Lord Jesus Christ, help us rightly answer the question you asked: “But what did you go out to see?” (See Matthew 11:9) Help us come to you seeking more than Herod did: he sought some kind of magic trick to entertain him. Help us come to you because you are Lord and Christ and we desire to walk in your ways.

Then he questioned him with many words, but he answered him nothing. (Luke 23:9)
      Father, please help us come to Jesus on his terms and not as Herod did: on Herod’s terms.

And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him. (Luke 23:10)
      Holy Spirit, move in the hearts and minds of the leaders and teachers of the Episcopal Church to turn to Jesus.

Then Herod, with his men of war, treated him with contempt and mocked him, arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him back to Pilate. (Luke 23:11)
      Jesus, we pray for all those who have mocked you, that your Holy Spirit will soften their hearts.

That very day Pilate and Herod became friends with each other, for previously they had been at enmity with each other. (Luke 23:12)
      Holy Spirit, help us examine the basis for our friendships and repent of those that are in opposition to you. Thank you.

Subject: Lake Luzerne
      PRAYER TABLE REPORT, (St. Mary’s of Lake Luzerne, Sat., June 25, 2011 at 11:45-noon in front of Parish Hall prior to our weekly Community Luncheon. Sunny, warm after heavy morning rainfall.)
      Note: Every one of the Prayer Table sessions, no matter whether it is set up on a busy Schenectady Street or outside a Warren County mountain church, is different. Sometimes many people come for a minute or two, sometimes one person comes and stays for 10 minutes. Today was one of the latter for this table at Lake Luzerne. Deacon Alan Hart presiding at His table.)
      a–denotes anointed with Holy Oil.
      a–EDITH — A regular visitor to the table, Edith today had a two-fold request. First, she wanted to give the Lord thanks for prayers answered: her brother ROBERT, sister GRACE and her friend (private, no name) have all had great recent medical reports in their respective battles against cancer. Then she asked for healing for her shoulder, which is giving her great pain and causing her to lose a lot of needed sleep every night.
      (No one else came for prayer, but many walked by and nodded or indicated in some other way that they were glad to see the table there.)

Galatians 5:16-26 and Ephesians 6:10-20

I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. (Galatians 5:16)
      Holy Spirit, help us walk in your ways.

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. (Galatians 5:17)
      Lord Jesus, there is a war going on in us: help us daily choose to walk with your Holy Spirit.

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. (Galatians 5:18 )
      Father, when we share the gospel with others, keep us from putting under the law.

Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:19-21)
      Jesus, we have done so many of these things; help us repent of them and return to you.

      Holy Spirit, help us recognize the cost of practicing any of these works of the flesh.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23)
      Lord, bring each of us to the place where we daily practice this fruit in our family, our work place, our parish, and our community.

And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. (Galatians 5:24)
      Jesus, help us crucify all these passions and desires.

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. (Galatians 5:25)
      Father, help us live and walk in your Holy Spirit.

Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. (Galatians 5:26)
      LORD, bring your peace to our parishes and communities.

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints–and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. (Ephesians 6:10-20)
      Father, please put on all of us the shoes of the preparation to share the gospel of peace; gird our loins with your truth; put on us the breastplate of righteousness, and the helmet of salvation. Place on our arm the shield of faith with which to quench every fiery dart of the evil one; and place in our hand the sword of your Spirit which is your word; that having stood all, we might yet stand. Finally, help us to be strong in Jesus and in the power of his might, and cast off from us the chains of apathy that keep us from speaking boldly as we ought to speak. Thank you.

Eight donkey narratives

1. Abraham and Isaac in Moriah
Genesis 22:2 (NKJV)
Then He said, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”

2. Joseph and his brothers in Egypt
Genesis 42:26 (NKJV)
So they loaded their donkeys with the grain and departed from there.

3. Balaam’s ass between Pethor and Moab
Numbers 22:22 (NKJV)
Then God’s anger was aroused because he went, and the Angel of the LORD took His stand in the way as an adversary against him. And he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him.

4. Jair in Gilead
Judges 10:3-4 (NKJV)
After him arose Jair, a Gileadite; and he judged Israel twenty-two years. Now he had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys; they also had thirty towns, which are called “Havoth Jair” to this day, which are in the land of Gilead.

5. Abdon of Pirathon
Judges 12:13-14 (NKJV)
After him, Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel. He had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode on seventy young donkeys. He judged Israel eight years.

6. The disobedient prophet, between Bethel and Judah
1 Kings 13:24 (NKJV)
When he was gone, a lion met him on the road and killed him. And his corpse was thrown on the road, and the donkey stood by it. The lion also stood by the corpse.

7. The Shunammite between Shunem and Carmel
2 Kings 4:24-25 (NKJV)
Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, “Drive, and go forward; do not slacken the pace for me unless I tell you.” And so she departed, and went to the man of God at Mount Carmel.
So it was, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to his servant Gehazi, “Look, the Shunammite woman!

8. The triumphant entry from Bethphage to Jerusalem
Mark 11:7 (NKJV)
Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their clothes on it, and He sat on it.

It is interesting to compare the donkey series with the series of eight postures, derived from the study of Moses’ eight ascents and descents on Mt Sinai and the eight resurrections:

God carries
Intercession at the feet of God
Stand up on feet
Out of love, choose servitude and give your master your ear
Reach out and rejoice at the intersection between heaven and earth
Unwrap the grave clothes and build a dwelling place for God
From prayer on knees to moving forward
God penetrates

USA

In 1620, the Pilgrims made the Mayflower Compact “for the Glory of God, and Advancement of the Christian Faith.” July 4 marks the 235th birthday of our nation.
It has been over 150 years since the Civil War. When Solomon embraced idolatry, God judged Solomon and the land by dividing it into north and south.

Our Father in heaven,
Our nation is awash in greed. We confess that we have placed our comfort and our convenience above Your holy laws. We confess that we have violated the Sabbath. Stir our hearts to eschew all idolatry, particularly Mammon.
May we be one nation under Your reign with liberty and justice for all persons, including the unborn. May the United States of America be for Your glory and the advancement of Your kingdom. Amen.

Romans 8:1-17

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. (Romans 8:1)
      Lord, please help me walk according to your Spirit.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. (Romans 8:2)
      Lord Jesus, I was a captive to sin and death and you have set me free. Thank you.

For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, (Romans 8:3)
      Father, thank you for sending your son to rescue me.

that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. (Romans 8:4)
      Holy Spirit, thank you for letting me know that I have been set free.

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. (Romans 8:5)
      Holy Father, help us daily set our minds on the things of your Spirit.

For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. (Romans 8:6)
      Jesus, set your church free from being carnally minded.

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. (Romans 8:7)
      Jesus, set us free from the false teaching that says, “We can have it all: the things of the flesh and a right relationship with you.”

So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. (Romans 8:8 )
      Father, please help us please you.

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. (Romans 8:9)
      Holy Spirit, baptize the church in this diocese so that we have Christ in our hearts and minds.

And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. (Romans 8:10)
      Christ, come into me day by day.

But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. (Romans 8:11)
      Holy Spirit, keep me in this new life day by day.

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors–not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. (Romans 8:12)
      Thank you for cancelling the debt of sin, Jesus. Thank you for your cross.

For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. (Romans 8:13)
      Jesus, bring your church to clarity about the nature of the choice that is before us.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. (Romans 8:14)
      Holy Spirit, thank you for leading me into son-ship with the Father.

For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” (Romans 8:15)
      Father, thank you for adopting me.

The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, (Romans 8:16)
      Holy Spirit, thank you for bearing witness to me: that I am a child of God.

and if children, then heirs–heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. (Romans 8:17)
      Jesus, thank you for the hope of glory you have given me.

A word received: Turn to me. Leave your agenda behind. Keep turning to me.

A word received: Prepare the hearts of my people: draw them to my word.

Stones of testimony, part 8

I’ve found eight stones of testimony. We will be looking at them in chronological sequence and comparing them to the eight ascents and descents of Moses on Mt. Sinai and the eight resurrections.–JW

1 Samuel 7:1-14 Deliverance from the Philistines
Place: Between Mizpah (outlook, watchtower) and Shen (the tooth, peak). Mizpah is the place where Jacob and Laban parted in Mt. Gilead.
Name given to stone: Ebenezer (stone of help)
Anointing: First, the sons of Israel removed the Baals and the Ashtaroth and served the LORD alone. They drew water and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted. Samuel made a burnt offering of a lamb.
Declaration: Now Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, and the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel. But the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day against the Philistines and confused them, so that they were routed before Israel. . . .
Then Samuel took a stone . . . and named it Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far the LORD has helped us.”

Moses’ ascent—second forty days on the mount (Ex 34:1-28, Dt 10:10) and descent (Ex 34:29)
Paul revives Eutychus (Acts 20:7-12)

Exodus 34:10
Then the LORD said: “I am making a covenant with you. Before all your people I will do wonders never before done in any nation in all the world. The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that I, the LORD, will do for you.

Theme: Proclamation of God’s name. Covenant.
Dominant posture: God penetrates

It was on Moses’ eighth descent that his face shone. The resurrection of Eutychus takes place in Troas during an all-night preaching and teaching. Troas means “penetrated.”

Israel

Psalm 121
I will lift up my eyes to the hills—From whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is your keeper; The LORD is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore.

Our Father in heaven,
You are Israel’s help, not political treaties. You are Israel’s keeper, not military technology. At the name of Your Son Jesus, all sun and moon religious idols must bow their knee. Preserve the nation of Israel from all evil.
We cry out for the preservation of their souls. Have mercy, Lord. Have mercy. Amen.

USA in 2011

Exodus 26:7 New King James Version
“You shall also make curtains of goats’ hair, to be a tent over the tabernacle. You shall make eleven curtains.

The goat hair is spun into strands which are then woven togther forming panels. The goat hair tent is unique in that it is perfectly suited for the desert regions of the Near East. Like any other cloth, there is space between the hair fabric. Light coming through the black roof appears as stars in the night sky. When the hair fibers get wet from the rains, the fibers expand, forming a watertight roof.

Father,
May the prayers for our nation in 2011 be like a tent over our covenant with You. Amen.

Stones of testimony, part 7

I’ve found eight stones of testimony. We will be looking at them in chronological sequence and comparing them to the eight ascents and descents of Moses on Mt. Sinai and the eight resurrections.–JW

1 Sam 6:13-19 The ark returned to Israel
Place: Beth-shemesh (house of the sun)
Anointing: Burnt offering of two cows
Declaration: These are the golden tumors which the Philistines returned for a guilt offering to the LORD: one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ashkelon, one for Gath, one for Ekron; and the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fortified cities and of country villages. The large stone on which they set the ark of the LORD is a witness to this day in the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite.
He struck down some of the men of Beth-shemesh because they had looked into the ark of the LORD. He struck down of all the people, 50,070 men, and the people mourned because the LORD had struck the people with a great slaughter.

Moses’ ascent (Ex 32:30-33) and descent (Ex 32:34)
Peter healed Tabitha (Acts 9:36-43)

Exodus 32:30-34
The next day Moses said to the people, “You have committed a great sin. But now I will go up to the LORD; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.”
So Moses went back to the LORD and said, “Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made themselves gods of gold. But now, please forgive their sin—but if not, then blot me out of the book you have written.”
The LORD replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book. Now go, lead the people to the place I spoke of, and my angel will go before you. However, when the time comes for me to punish, I will punish them for their sin.”

Theme: From travail to beauty
Dominant posture: From prayer on knees to moving forward

Peter was in Lydda (meaning-travail) at the time of Tabitha’s death in nearby Joppa (meaning-beauty). Even in the face of idolatry, God gave instructions to Moses to move the Israelites forward after he sought atonement. In all three stories–Mt Sinai, the resurrection of Tabitha, and the return of the ark–the kingdom of God on earth was advanced.

Luke 22: 19-21

And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of me. ” (Luke 22: 19)
      Jesus, along with the dying thief I have asked you to remember me; now I am asking that by your Holy Spirit you will help me remember you. Thank you for being broken for me; thank you for breaking into my life.

Likewise he also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is shed for you. (Luke 22: 20)
      Jesus, thank you for pouring out your life-blood for me.

But behold, the hand of my betrayer is with me on the table. (Luke 22: 21)
      Jesus, I have betrayed your trust in me so many times; please help me, as you did Peter, to return to you. Thank you.

A word received: Look to me.
