Vision
I see something that crosses this globe, the whole map, and it was like something that will come for destruction. But I also see and sense there is a wave of his glory that will come over this mass destruction. There is a wave that is going to come that will be greater than anything we have ever seen. But before that glory comes, there will be a mass of disaster, destruction, of darkness. The knowledge of His glory will cover the whole earth Numbers 14:20-21 Psalm 57:5 Psalm 72:19 Isaiah 6:3 Isaiah 11:9 Isaiah 66:19 Ezekiel 39:21 Habakkuk 2:14 Habakkuk 3:3-6 There is something that God is asking from his remnant right now. We are going to go through a very difficult time, but the glory of God is right there with us. We must know that the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, just as the water covers the seas. It is going to be so important that we understand His glory will cover. That is why we need it at this time. His glory is going to cover the deep darkness. God’s glory is a very image of who he is, inside of us. He is going to use us in a very special way. Christ is in us, the hope of glory. The vineyard is very important, and it must be established in every church. The vineyard that I keep seeing in our sanctuary is so important. The grapes, the new wine, and the bread are so important. We must have an awareness of where God is. In the vineyard we must have total inner rest - abiding in Christ. |
John 15:1-5
God is giving us the time to get complete inner healing, complete rest so we truly can abide in Him. We must truly understand that God is in us, and we are in Him, and He is in the Father. He will come and shut the door for His remnant, to protect us from the systems that surround us. Hosea 2:14 God has given us a vineyard, and he has let us through the valley of trouble, and he’s given us a vision to produce worship. John 17:20- 26 We must have an awareness of who Christ is and He is in us - the secret place in me. We must have enlightenment to fully abide in Him, and a full knowledge of God and His glory. We must behold the glory which God has given us. So all will know that God is in Jesus and Jesus is in us. His glory covers us with new garments. We must let God operate in us in the fullness of the names of who He is:
Isaiah 60:1-2 Awake, arise and shine, for His glory has risen upon you! For darkness covers the earth and deep darkness the peoples. But the Lord will rise upon you and His glory will appear upon you, and nations will come to His light. Hear My Heart’s Cry Come Deep In My Heart, September 3, 2017 |

PRAYING THE NAME
TUESDAY The Lord said to him [Solomon]:“I have heard the prayer and plea you have made before me;I have consecrated this temple, which you have built, by putting my Name there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.” (1 Kings 9:3) Reflect On: 1 Kings 8:1–11, 22–66; 9:1–3 Praise God: For his holy and powerful name. Offer Thanks: Because God has promised to hear your prayers. Confess: Any tendency to forget that you are a “temple of the living God.” Ask God: To increase your reverence for God’s holy name. |
Exerpt from Book
By naming our children we are extending our authority over them, claiming them as our own, pledging our care and protection, and promising our lifelong commitment and love. And that’s what God did with his people. First, he revealed his name to his chosen people and then he associated his name and his presence with the temple that Solomon built in Jerusalem. By doing so, he promised to dwell with his people, hearing and answering their prayers as long as they remained faithful to him. Though the temple in Jerusalem is no longer standing, Paul reminds us that “we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: ‘I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people’” (2 Corinthians 6:16). Since the first century, those who follow Jesus have been known as “Christians,” named after the Christ they profess. To all who remain faithful to him, Jesus has said: “Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God” (Revelation 3:12). Today take time to picture yourself in God’s holy presence, with the name of his Son imprinted on your soul. Ask him for whatever you need, especially for the grace to realize that his eyes are always on you and his heart is always for you. |

WEDNESDAY
You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain. (Exodus 20:7 NKJV) Sing to the LORD, you saints of his, praise his holy name. (Psalm 30:4) Reflect On: Psalm 30 Praise God: Because he satisfies us with good things Offer Thanks: For God’s justice and compassion. Confess: Any tendency to speak or live in a way that dishonors God’s name. Ask God: To help you live in a way that daily honors his name. |
In God’s case, there is an especially close relationship between his name and his nature. By revealing his name, God reveals who he is, allowing us access to him and placing himself within the reach of our prayers. Scripture tells us we can call on the name of the Lord and even take refuge in his name. By disclosing himself in this way, God not only makes himself accessible but vulnerable, allowing for the possibility that we will dishonor his name, using it as a com- mon curse word or as a seal of divine approval on our own opin- ions or endeavors. We can also defile his name by claiming to belong to him though living in ways that contradict his character.
Today let us learn to cherish God’s name, echoing the words of Jesus who taught his disciples to pray: “Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. |

THURSDAY
Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. (Psalm 20:7) Let him who walks in the dark, who has no light, trust in the name of the LORD and rely on his God. But now, all you who light fires and provide yourselves with flaming torches, go, walk in the light of your fires and of the torches you have set ablaze. This is what you shall receive from my hand: You will lie down in torment. (Isaiah 50:10–11) Reflect On: Isaiah 50:10–11 Praise God: For banishing our darkness through the light of Christ Offer Thanks: For God’s readiness to help us in times of darkness. Confess: Any tendency to seek safety apart from God. Ask God: To help you see the futility of worrying rather than trusting. |
God tells us that the antidote to worry is trust. He knows our limitations better than we do, realizing that when it comes to the future, we are all walking in the dark, unable to see past the minute we are living in. That’s why he tells us to trust in his name, to count on his ability to see the future and prepare us for it—whatever may happen.
He also knows that trust and worry cannot coexist. We simply cannot do both at the same time. If we fail to trust him and instead rely on our own “light,” our own limited understanding, we will find ourselves robbed of sleep and tormented by worry. Learning to trust in God’s name in the darkest of times will enable us to lie down in peace, knowing we are safe. |

Moses built an altar and called it The LORD is my Banner. He said, “For hands were lifted up to the throne of the LORD.The LORD will be at war against the Amalekites from generation to generation.” (Exodus17:15–16)
Reflect On: Exodus 17:8–15 Praise God: Because there is no greater power in heaven or on earth. Offer Thanks: For God’s power at work in your life. Confess: Your tendency to try to fight your own battles in your own strength. Ask God: To increase your faith in his desire to use his power on your behalf. |
Their first battle after leaving Egypt was with the Amalekites.
The Amalekite strategy of attacking the weakest and of trying to thwart God’s plan for his people made them perpetual enemies of God. When Moses held up the staff of God as Joshua fought against the Amalekites, he was holding a visible sign of God’s power, like a banner, for all the people to see. Whenever his hands grew tired and he lowered the staff, the Amalekites began winning. That’s when Aaron and Hur began supporting his hands so the Israelites would not waver in their battle. But what relevance does this ancient story have today? If you picture the Amalekites as a symbol of all the forces that oppose God, you begin to realize the spiritual battles that still face us. Just as the Israelites were freed from their bondage to Egypt, we are freed from bondage to sin and Satan the moment we surrender ourselves to Christ. But we still face countless battles on our way to the promised land of heaven. Some of the worst of these are internal, as we struggle to overcome the dividing wall in our own souls—a kind of spiritual ambivalence that makes us easy prey for our enemies. Today as you face spiritual battles of many kinds, remember to hold high the banner of God’s power, knowing that he alone gives the victory no matter how fierce the enemy. |

The LORD said to Moses,“Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole.Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, he lived. (Numbers 21:8–9)
Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. (John 3:14–15) His banner over me is love. (Song of Songs 2:4) Reflect On: Numbers 21:4–9 Praise God: For the gift of his Son. Offer Thanks: That God provided a remedy for our sin. Confess: Any complaints or bitterness you may have harbored toward God. Ask God: To increase your faith in his goodness and his love. |
Later, John’s gospel applies this powerful image to Jesus—to the
act of his crucifixion. Today, as you ponder the meaning of Yahweh Nissi, remember the cross. Remember that it is by his wounds that we are healed and the bite of sin is rendered harmless. Receive his forgiveness. For his banner over you is love. |

GOD REVEALS HIS NAME
The Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim. Moses said to Joshua, “Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hands.” So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill. As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands overcame the Amalekite army with the sword. Then the LORD said to Moses, “Write this on a scroll as something to be remembered and make sure that Joshua hears it, because I will completely blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.” Moses built an altar and called it The LORD is my Banner. He said, “For hands were lifted up to the throne of the LORD. The LORD will be at war against the Amalekites from generation to generation.” (Exodus 17:8–16) Lord, I thank you for raising your standard over me.Today, as I face spiritual battles of many kinds, help me to be confident of your protection, to fight with your power, to prevail in your strength.Yahweh Nissi, may your victory be total and complete, destroying whatever stands in the way of your plans and purposes.Amen. |
Understanding the Name
Unlike fabric flags, ancient banners were usually made out of wood or metal and shaped into various figures or emblems that could be fastened to a bare staff or a long pole. Depicting birds, animals, or gods, they often glistened brightly in the sun so that they could be seen from far off. A banner carried at the head of an army or planted on a high hill served as a rallying point for troops before battle or as an announcement of a victory already won. Because they embodied the ideals and aspirations of whoever carried them, banners aroused devotion to a nation, a cause, or a leader. When Moses held up the staff of God in the battle with the Amalekites, he was holding it like a banner, appealing to God’s power. By building an altar and naming it Yahweh Nissi (yah-WEH nis-SEE), “The LORD is my Banner,” he created a memorial of God’s protection and power during the Israelites’ first battle after leaving Egypt. |
