Dear Partner,
March is the month of new life. Trees begin “waking up.” Flowers begin to bud with new leaves. Hibernating animals begin to stir themselves and bring their young ones, born during this time—their “fresh start” in life. Your and my heavenly Father who created all living things by Faith (Hebrews 11:3), is the giver of Life. Let’s look at the words of Jesus in John 6:63, (Amplified Bible, Classic Edition):
- It is the Spirit Who gives life [He is the Life-giver]; the flesh conveys no benefit whatever [there is no profit in it]. The words (truths) that I have been speaking to you are spirit and life.
Now John 10:10 in the AMPC:
- The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).
How, then, do we receive and enjoy His Life? Through Faith and prayer, based on His WORD. The WORD of God has the power to bring itself to pass. I heard those words in my spirit, by the Holy Spirit, many years ago: Let The WORD, the sword of the Spirit which is The WORD of God, fight its own fight. Turn with me to Ephesians 6:10-18:
- Finally, my brethren, be strong in The LORD, and in the power of his might.
- Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
- For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
- Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
- Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
- And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
- Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
- 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, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.
The whole armor of God is prayer armor. Verse 18 in the AMPC says, “With all [manner of] prayer”: “Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God’s consecrated people).” Where, then, can we find confirmation of this in the First Covenant? Turn with me in your Bible to Proverbs 4:20-22: “My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.”
“Attend to my words.” What does that mean? Make them first place and final authority in your life. “Let them not depart from thine eyes.” See yourself with ALL your needs met, according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). Keep God’s words in the midst of your heart. Now we’re back to John 6:63 that we read at the beginning of the letter. Proverbs 4:22 says the same thing: “They [God’s words] are life unto those that find them.” The Holy Spirit will cause His Holy WORD to become revelation knowledge to you so that divine health can be manifested. The Hebrew word health here is also translated medicine.
I know in my spirit that this is a time of new life for, not only our nation, but also for other nations. When I was born in December 1936, people in this country were praying about the Great Depression. My mother would pray, believing that my father would come home with a better job than before. Philippians 4:19 came to pass every time. Then World War II happened. So did prayer groups all over the USA and the U.K.! Then came the greatest time of national prosperity ever. In 1941, men were training with wooden rifles until real ones could be manufactured. Why? And how could those numbers of real rifles be manufactured? Our first president, George Washington, entered into a covenant with EL-SHADDAI, the God who is more than enough. He opened his Bible to Genesis 17:1-5:
- And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, The LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
- And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
- And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
- As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
- Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
President Washington’s first inauguration was April 30, 1789, in the spring—a new beginning. He kneeled down, kissed his Bible and said, “You will be our God, and we will be Your people.” The first act of Congress, and the first president, was to dedicate this United States that was 13 colonies at that time. The Liberty Bell had Leviticus 25:10 inscribed on it: “Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto the inhabitants thereof.” In God’s time, that was only about 15 minutes ago! Let’s look at 2 Peter 3:8: “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with The LORD as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”
We are still talking about real Bible prayer, so let’s look in The BOOK at the words of the Master in Matthew 6:7-13:
- But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
- Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
- After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
- Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
- Give us this day our daily bread.
- And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
- And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
As you know, I pray for you, my Partner, at every meal. The LORD directed me to begin praying this for you: “That His will be done on earth for you as it is in heaven.” I began praying The WORD of Jesus last year and into this election year, for every school board, mayor, city manager, governor, the president, vice-president and state elections. In addition, I have a Faith claim and petition for 1,000,000 Partners in the USA before the end of 2024!
Now look at Matthew 7:6-11:
- Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
- Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
- For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
- Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
- Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
- If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Luke recorded Jesus saying in Chapter 11:1: “And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, LORD, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.” Jesus began by teaching intercessory prayer. Now read verse 13: “If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?” He will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him. In the last Passover meal that Jesus ate with His disciples, He began preparing them for His execution on the cross. In John 13:34-35 He said: “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.”
In John 14:13-18 (AMPC) He said:
- And I will do [I Myself will grant] whatever you ask in My Name [as presenting all that I AM], so that the Father may be glorified and extolled in (through) the Son.
- [Yes] I will grant [I Myself will do for you] whatever you shall ask in My Name [as presenting all that I AM].
- If you [really] love Me, you will keep (obey) My commands.
- And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever—
- The Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know and recognize Him. But you know and recognize Him, for He lives with you [constantly] and will be in you.
- I will not leave you as orphans [comfortless, desolate, bereaved, forlorn, helpless]; I will come [back] to you.
Now I’ll close with this in John 16:23 AMPC: “And when that time comes, you will ask nothing of Me [you will need to ask Me no questions]. I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that My Father will grant you whatever you ask in My Name [as presenting all that I AM].” That time came the next day when He went to the cross. And then, three days later, He arose from the dead. He is now seated at the right hand of the Father as our High Priest who ever makes intercession for us, day and night. Jesus Christ the same, yesterday today and for ever (Hebrews 13:8)!
As you sow your BLESSING seed this month, read this letter along with your Bible, every day. Study John 13-17 both from the King James Version and AMPC, and also from The New Testament in Modern Speech, by Richard Francis Weymouth that KCM put back into print along with the AMPC.
Always remember that God Loves you. We Love you, and Jesus is LORD!
Love,
