Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem

Oh God of My Life!
How Precious Is Your Love,
Which You Pour Out To Us Day By Day!
How Sweet is Your Song,
With Which You Sing Me To Sleep!
How Glorious Is Your Word,
Which Gives Me Prayer in The Night!
You Alone Are The God Of My Life,
You Alone are the One True God Over All!

Let all that has been Concealed
Be Revealed.

Father, We Pray For The Peace Of Jerusalem,
According To Your Will and Promise.
We Pray That You Will Forgive The Sins
of Our Own Nation,
and Lead us all to Godly Repentance.
Create in Us Clean Hearts, Oh LORD,
and Renew a Right Spirit Within Us.

This we Pray Together,
As We Await Your Messiah,
Blessed Be He,
To Set Up His Kingdom,
And Make All Things Right.

Happy New Year!

I shared this story when it happened, but seems to be very appropriate right now as we look at the work of The Holy Spirit in our lives.

About five years ago, I left a bicycle (a really nice one) at a shop on consignment. I signed all the papers, agreed to wait 90 days (!) for a check, and agreed to notify the owner in the week prior to the 90-day due date to pick up my check which was 50/50 of the proceeds.

I waited the 90 days and then came into the shop, where a substitute clerk told me it hadn't sold yet. But the bike was not in the shop, and the owner of the shop had told me it had sold the very day I brought it in. The woman searched through all the receipts of the past 90 days, and there it was, just as I had said. But, she said, the owner was having "Family Issues" and hadn't posted anything for three months. So NOW I would have to wait another month till October 1st to get my check. "Just don't forget to call before the first." She said.

OK, so I waited another month. Last week I called the owner, and he yelled at me and berated me for going through the receipts of the store and not getting to him sooner, as he had already printed the checks for October. He was abusive, and slammed the receiver down. I tried to call him back but he refused to answer the phone.

So I suited up in my leather jacket, hopped on the Harley and roared off the "Pay him a visit". I didn't know what I was going to say exactly, but I prayed and prayed the whole time I was riding there that The Holy Spirit would guide me.

(Now, riding the Harley is always therapeutic, but praying at the same time is Super-Awesome). By the time I arrived at the shop, the LORD had given me a calm and self-confident spirit, and I walked in with a huge smile on my face.

"Hi!"I said,"I was willing to work this thing out, but I think we were 'cut off' on the phone".

"Oh"he squirmed."I didn't realize that was YOU on the phone. I'll have your check for you next week."Then he started to blurt out how miserable he was about his "Family Issues".

"Do you want to talk about it?"I asked."I know all about family issues. I'm the widow of a suicide, for one thing."

THAT seemed to change everything. We agreed that I would swing by after the 1st and pick up my check for the magnificent sum of $75.00. No big loss for him, groceries for me.

I had no wisdom of my own going into that situation. In fact, I was ready to "make a scene" and be a real jerk about it. I knew he was lying about "not knowing it was me", and I knew that he should treat ANYONE that way, but I held my tongue. The Holy Spirit, My Advocate, changed me in the short ride from my house to the shop. And by listening...I won.

Paul speaks of The Holy Spirit "appointing" him to go to Jerusalem, although it may mean arrest, imprisonment, or death. Nevertheless, he takes this appointment seriously, and will not be deterred even by those who love and care about him.

Sometimes we receive an "Appointment" that those around us don't understand, nor do we. But we know where the Appointment is coming from, and that is enough.

What happens next depends on whether or not you listen.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open. (Mark 4:22)

Thank you for you kind affirmation, Mitch. It is so encouraging to me, when a story resonates with my readers.

I got a similar response when I first shared this story five years ago when this incident happened.

I guess we have all had to deal with “difficult” people.

Being sensitive to the leading of The Holy Spirit makes it SO much easier!

Psalm 105 (23-45)

23 Then Israel came to Egypt;
Jacob lived as an alien in the land of Ham.
24 And the Lord made his people very fruitful,
and made them stronger than their foes,
25 whose hearts he then turned to hate his people,
to deal craftily with his servants.

26 He sent his servant Moses,
and Aaron whom he had chosen.
27 They performed his signs among them,
and miracles in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and made the land dark;
they rebelled* against his words.
29 He turned their waters into blood,
and caused their fish to die.
30 Their land swarmed with frogs,
even in the chambers of their kings.
31 He spoke, and there came swarms of flies,
and gnats throughout their country.
32 He gave them hail for rain,
and lightning that flashed through their land.
33 He struck their vines and fig trees,
and shattered the trees of their country.
34 He spoke, and the locusts came,
and young locusts without number;
35 they devoured all the vegetation in their land,
and ate up the fruit of their ground.
36 He struck down all the firstborn in their land,
the first issue of all their strength.

37 Then he brought Israel* out with silver and gold,
and there was no one among their tribes who stumbled.
38 Egypt was glad when they departed,
for dread of them had fallen upon it.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering,
and fire to give light by night.
40 They asked, and he brought quails,
and gave them food from heaven in abundance.
41 He opened the rock, and water gushed out;
it flowed through the desert like a river.
42 For he remembered his holy promise,
and Abraham, his servant.

43 So he brought his people out with joy,
his chosen ones with singing.
44 He gave them the lands of the nations,
and they took possession of the wealth of the peoples,
45 that they might keep his statutes
and observe his laws.
Praise the Lord!
