"Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and gentle as doves. Beware for they will deliver you up to councils, and flog you in their synagogues, and you will be dragged before governors and kings for My sake, to bear testimony before them and the Gentiles.
When they deliver you up, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour; for it is not you who will speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death; and you will be hated by all for My Name's Sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.... If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household.
So have no fear of them; for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. What I tell you in the dark, utter in the light; and what you hear whispered, proclaim upon the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's will. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
So every one who acknowledges Me before the world, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven; but whoever denies me before the world, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 10:16-33)
~)~ Righteous Father, Let Your Name Be Kept Holy.
Help us to remember the words of Yeshua who said that whoever would be the chief shall be the servant of all. He gave us the perfect example by coming not to be ministered unto but to minister, and He gave His life as a ransom for many. Thank You, Yeshua.
We thank you for the example of the Good Samaritan, LORD, who valued the need to care and show forth Your Love more highly than man-made restrictions and rules. He showed the kind of compassion and mercy You exhibit and seek when He stopped to care for the physcal needs of the injured man. Help us, LORD, to be a caring neighbor to others, whenever we encounter a need.
Help us to see that caring for others leads to happiness, LORD, You said that the merciful would be blessed for showing mercy to others. You have shown us how our care for others will help them receive Your mercy and turn to You.
May our love be without hypocracy at all times, Abba, so that we might always be kindly affectioned toward others in brotherly love. In honor, Abba Father, we want to learn how to prefer others, to distribute to the necessity of the saints and be given to hospitality. (Romans 12:8-13)
May we do everything possible to prevent division in Your body, LORD. Help us to remain involved in the mutual caring of Your body; teach us all to have the same care one for another. When a member suffers, LORD, help us to suffer with him or her and be willing to minister to their needs, as well as to pray for them. LORD, we thank You for the special joy that comes from knowing when we care for even the least among Your brethren, we have really done it unto You.
Abba Father, keep before our rememberane the fast You have chosen by caring for the needs of the oppressed, the hungry, the poor, naked and homeless and those who are of our own flesh. (Isaiah 58:6-8) Amen and Amen
~(~ Dear Key, May the Spirit Of Comfort so fill your life that others will find HIS Comfort through you. In the Christ Yeshua's name we pray. Amen and Amen
