"Even now, declares the Lord, return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning." Joel 2:12
Another seven days have passed on the sacred Solemn Assembly Sabbatical journey. A lot can happen in 9 days, and a lot has happened. Short Testimony: GOD commanded the Solemn Assembly participants to stop and LINGER-REST in Him for 3 days. It was a difficult assignment, added to the sacrifice we are already making. Not only that, GOD chose the weekend.
Our hearts were willing, but the thought of the weekend was spiritually challenging to our obedience. WE OBEYED. And as GOD promised that our OBEDIENCE would have some SUDDEN SURGES, it happened, SUDDENLY. The GLORY of the LORD's presence visited some of us on our 5:00 am prayer call. Aka, The Grace Hour last Monday morning. It was BLAZING FIRE…GOD honors OBEDIENCE. The visitation from the LORD proved that sacrificial consecration is not in vain. Amen.
We still have 15 days left, and our joy is joyful in the LORD's enabling power to persevere to the victory finish line.
Remember:
Solemn Assembly Sabbatical is not fasting, prayer, and consecration the way you want it. But its OBEDIENCE unto GOD His way.
Prayer:
Thank you for visiting us and releasing your Glory over those who sacrificed to obey you.
I pray that we mark that morning in our minds as Your linger-rest residue. May we love you deeper for showing us your Glory. -In JESUS's Name, Amen.

"The goal of prayer is not to change God's mind about what you want. The goal of prayer is to change your own heart, to want what He wants, to the Glory of God." -Chris Fabry.
