A FIRSTFRUITS RENEWAL

Written by:

This is the week of Passover* (beginning at sundown on Monday, April 22 to April 30th, 2024) including the Feast of Firstfruits.

So on April 27, 2024, about 3:30 in the morning, I awoke and couldn’t go back to sleep. This was the day after my surgery. However, lying in my bed, I began to pray – yet with a renewed faith and mostly in tongues so that the perfect will of God was being proclaimed. It was a renewed force, one that I’ve been lacking for awhile.

DAN 7:25 He [antichrist] shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time. [three and one-half years]

Well, I’ve felt weary. Oh, I didn’t stop praying but I was weary of doing spiritual warfare against these constant barrages.

I believe the antichrist is alive. He is here. This is the devil’s plan, to try to force things before God’s perfect timing, as he did with Hitler. The dragon’s plans, doomed though they be, are all around us – with the sin rampant in a godless society:

  • sex confusion (Babylon = confusion);
  • woke corporations, (maybe 10 – just ten – woke corporation control the food we eat! BUY local, if possible, or grow it yourself!);
  • a witch hunt against President Trump;
  • China threatening to take over Taiwan;
  • war in Ukraine;
  • war in Israel;
  • pro-Palestinian propaganda** that is destroying our campuses and fomenting violent anti-semitism;
  • and many youth being led wildly astray. (That’s why I volunteer at a center for abused girls!)

It is a battle in the spirit realm. Texas is fighting back! Saints across the country are fighting back. The Christian world is fighting back! But do you ever get weary?

I’ve had physical problems, and I’ve cried over the possibility of having a disability and not being able to do the normal things that I was so used to doing. Actually, I now believe this is a year for healing and next year when I’m seventy, I’ll be back in the saddle again! But this morning, I’ve been given a renewed level of strength. The LORD is my strength.

JER 16:19 O LORD, my strength and my stronghold, my refuge in the day of trouble, to you shall the nations come from the ends of the earth and say: “Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, worthless things in which there is no profit.

Yes, the carnal world is full of lies, like the lies they are hurling at Israel. However, the Scriptures tell the truth! There have always been a remnant of Jews in the Holy Land! “Jerusalem is and has been the geographic and spiritual center of the Jewish people for over 3,000 years” from mfa.gov.il

RENEWED ZEAL

The devil didn’t want me to move to this area as through prayer, I do some serious damage to his “domain of darkness”. (COL 1:13) There are the poor and the rich. They are trying to move out the poor for the very, very rich. This is not a new problem, but it is fairly new to the area. It’s been a constant battle, but I’m holding on.

So with my renewed zeal, I prayed for many things including Israel; President Trump; revival (which I believe revival is going on right now throughout the world); the Hill Country area; that the Young Life at Canyon Lake High School would be effective in their outreach to the lost; prayer for repentance of a certain individual; for a pastor doing an outreach at our church; healing for my church as many of us are “over the hill” yet our lives are “under the blood of Yeshua”!; my pastor who is still preaching in his eighties but needs some healing in his back. Then I sang “Rise and be healed in the name of Jesus – let faith arise in your souls!”

This passionate prayer was heard in the heavenlies by Abba, Our Father, on or about the Feast of Firstfruits, when we celebrate the LORD rising from the dead! HE IS ALIVE!

I also prayed against the spirit of witchcraft, against the spirit of infirmity; against the spirit of unbelief in this area of the Hill Country.

EPH 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

And then I wrote this as an encouragement for y’all!

ENCOURAGEMENT

So if you’ve been weary, as I was, keep praying and the LORD will renew your strength!

ISA 40:31 but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

Incidentally, I live on Eagles Peak!

NEH 8:10c … for the joy of the LORD is your strength.

NOTES:

* “Pesach or Passover can also refer to the Passover sacrifice, the paschal lamb that was offered when the Temple in Jerusalem stood; to the Passover Seder, the ritual meal on Passover night; or to the week-long Feast of Unleavened Bread. One of the biblically-ordained Three Pilgrimage Festivals, Passover is celebrated for seven days in Israel and eight days in the diaspora … In the Bible, the seven-day holiday is known as the Feast of Unleavened Bread.” Wikipedia on Passover

** “The former group of Arabs in the West Bank comprise the original Palestinians, although today their ranks have been joined by a large number of Arabs who originally lived outside the borders of Israel. These came from Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq, and other Middle Eastern countries allied with the original Arab League charter to remove all Jews from the Land.” Dr. Randall Price in “Unholy War” (p 112)
