It is the last day of 2019, and we are alive and well in Christ Jesus. Thank You, LORD!

“Ebenezer, thus far The LORD has brought us.  Ebenezer, thus far The LORD has helped us!   (1 Samuel 7:12).

Think about it: Just the other day, it was 1st January 2019, and now, just now, today is 31st December 2019!  (The days are being shortened by The LORD for the sake of us His elect, (Matthew 24:22)).

“Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, But to Your Name give glory, because of Your mercy, because of Your truth.”   Psalm 115:1.

We are BOUND, yes we are OBLIGATED to give thanks to God,  (2 Thessalonians 2:13).

We ought to give thanks to The LORD God Almighty for preserving us, for protecting us, for providing for us.

Bless The LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His Holy Name!  Bless The LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that  your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.  The LORD executes righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed,  (Psalms 103:1-6).

Truly, The LORD is our Ebenezer!  Oh, He IS!

Ebenezer, אֶבֶן הָעֵזֶר, (‘eben hâ‛êzer, eh’-ben haw-e’-zer)  means “Stone of help“, thus referring to Jesus Christ The “Living Stone”, The “Chief Cornerstone” (1 Peter 2:4-7); yes, The Stone of help to us.

Jesus said of Himself: “The stone which the builders rejected Has become The Chief Cornerstone.  This was The LORD ’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes,”   Matthew 21:42.

Brethren, no matter what your situation has been, or is, “in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”  (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

Furthermore, we are commanded to be “giving thanks always for all things to God The Father in The Name of our LORD Jesus Christ,” (Ephesians 5:20).

Thus, we give thanks IN everything, and we give thanks FOR all things — “all things that pertain to life and Godliness,”  (2 Peter 1:4).

Thanksgiving greatly pleases our God and makes Him move swiftly on our behalf.

A few years ago, I watched the testimony of a brother in an old recording of “Sid Roth’s It’s Supernatural” via the ISN app.  The brother, an American, was a missionary serving in Israel together with his wife. (They were a young couple).

He said they had great financial lack.  But whenever they received, say, even one dollar, they spent time giving thanks to The LORD for that one dollar.

Subsequently, they needed to travel to the USA.  While going, he had a call from a woman.  She sounded very angry on the phone.  She was commanding him not to come back to Israel, because they (the missionary couple) were disturbing them.

Who are you?

She said she was a witch, and that she and her convent were the cause of their (the missionary couple’s) financial lack.

However, every time they (the missionary couple) were thanking God fervently, their (the witches’) curses against the missionary couple did not work, but rather backfired on them.

Thanksgiving is a great spiritual weapon, mighty in God.

In Luke 17, our LORD Jesus Christ greatly emphasised the need for us to give thanks to God always.

“Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.  Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off.  And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”  So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.”  And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed.  And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks.  And he was a Samaritan.  So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed?  But where are the nine?  Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?”  And He said to him, “Arise, go your way.  Your faith has made you well.””   Luke 17:11-19.

Thanksgiving is indispensably important, both in spirit and in the flesh.

So, please, as we wrap up 2019 and enter 2020, let’s give thanks to God fervently, gratefully.

Therefore, right now, right here on this page, let us join our voices and say:

“Oh, give thanks to The LORD, for He is good!  For His mercy endures forever. Oh, give thanks to the God of gods!
For His mercy endures forever.  Oh, give thanks to The LORD of lords!  For His mercy endures forever: To Him who alone does great wonders, for His mercy endures forever; to Him who by wisdom made the heavens, for His mercy endures forever; to Him who laid out the earth above the waters, for His mercy endures forever; to Him who made great lights, for His mercy endures forever — the sun to rule by day, for His mercy endures forever; the moon and stars to rule by night, for His mercy endures forever.
To Him who struck Egypt in their firstborn, for His mercy endures forever; and brought out Israel from among them, for His mercy endures forever; with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, for His mercy endures forever; to Him who divided the Red Sea in two, for His mercy endures forever; and made Israel pass through the midst of it, for His mercy endures forever; but overthrew Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea, for His mercy endures forever; to Him who led His people through the wilderness, for His mercy endures forever; to Him who struck down great kings, for His mercy endures forever; and slew famous kings, for His mercy endures forever — Sihon king of the Amorites, for His mercy endures forever; and Og king of Bashan, for His mercy endures forever — And gave their land as a heritage, For His mercy endures forever; A heritage to Israel His servant, for His mercy endures forever.
Who remembered us in our lowly state, for His mercy endures forever; and rescued us from our enemies, for His mercy endures forever; Who gives food to all flesh, for His mercy endures forever.
Oh, give thanks to The God of heaven!  For His mercy endures forever!”   
Psalm 136:1-26.

The Bible says that Samuel took a stone and set it up, and called its name Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far the Lord has helped us…..”   1 Samuel 7:12.

Ebenezer was the very place where Israel was hitherto heavily defeated by the Philistines and The Ark of God captured (1 Samuel 4).  They (the children of Israel) had been adulterous with foreign gods, worshipping demons.

But when they returned to the LORD of hosts at the judging and urging of Samuel, their place of defeat became their place of VICTORY!  (Please read 1 Samuel 7:1-14).

My dear brother, my dear sister, search your heart and life.

What went wrong, what did you get wrong in 2019 (and even previously)?

Ask The LORD to reveal it to you by His Holy Spirit. (There could even be ancestral demonic covenants at play. Renounce, disallow and destroy them by The Blood of Jesus Christ).

RepentApply and plead The Blood of Jesus, and do not cease to cry out to The LORD.

Surely, as The LORD lives, your place of defeat will become your place of VICTORY!  Hallelu-YAH!

See you next year, 2020!

It won’t cease from yielding fruit……..
………  
12 A glorious throne, set on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary. 13 Yahweh, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you will be disappointed. Those who depart from me will be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Yahweh, the spring of living waters. 14 Heal me, O Yahweh, and I will be healed. Save me, and I will be saved; for you are my praise. 15 Behold, they ask me, “Where is Yahweh’s word? Let it be fulfilled now.” 16 As for me, I have not hurried from being a shepherd after you. I haven’t desired the woeful day. You know. That which came out of my lips was before your face,”   Jeremiah 17:7-8, 12-16.

15 Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain. 16 Yahweh’s glory settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the middle of the cloud. 17 The appearance of Yahweh’s glory was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel. 18 Moses entered into the middle of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights,”    Exodus 24:15-18.

34 Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and Yahweh’s glory filled the tabernacle. 35 Moses wasn’t able to enter into the Tent of Meeting, because the cloud stayed on it, and Yahweh’s glory filled the tabernacle. 36 When the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys; 37 but if the cloud wasn’t taken up, then they didn’t travel until the day that it was taken up. 38 For the cloud of Yahweh was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys,”   Exodus 40:34-38.

1 The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork. Day after day they pour out speech, and night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun, which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course. His going out is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends. There is nothing hidden from its heat.
Yahweh’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. Yahweh’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple. Yahweh’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. Yahweh’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever. Yahweh’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether. 10 They are more to be desired than gold, yes, than much fine gold, sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb,” 
 Psalm 19:1-10.

1 I will exalt you, my God, the King. I will praise your name forever and ever. Every day I will praise you. I will extol your name forever and ever. Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised! His greatness is unsearchable. One generation will commend your works to another, and will declare your mighty acts. I will meditate on the glorious majesty of your honor, on your wondrous works. Men will speak of the might of your awesome acts. I will declare your greatness. They will utter the memory of your great goodness, and will sing of your righteousness. Yahweh is gracious, merciful, slow to anger, and of great loving kindness. Yahweh is good to all. His tender mercies are over all his works. 10 All your works will give thanks to you, Yahweh. Your saints will extol you. 11 They will speak of the glory of your kingdom, and talk about your power, 12 to make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, the glory of the majesty of his kingdom. 13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. Your dominion endures throughout all generations. Yahweh is faithful in all his words, and loving in all his deeds,”   Psalm 145:1-13.

1 See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him. Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him; for we will see him just as he is. Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure,”   1 John 3:1-3.

Daughter, I want you to speak and encourage my children to remain on the narrow path no matter WHAT THEY SEE OR HEAR. I know how weary you are from this long and difficult journey. Continue to move forward. DON’T STOP! The Adversary knows you… knows where you live, knows your family. He is working relentlessly trying to make you quit and give up. I am always with you. I will never leave you. Continue on your path. It will all make sense when we are together. Rebuke the enemy and he will flee. My power and might can not be measured by man. I have overcome the world .This world is not your home. You belong to me. Don’t ever forget this. You will be with me soon. I LOVE YOU.

“I AM a MIGHTY Fortress to you, and the enemy that surrounds you will not be able to reach you,” says The LORD.

Source: You Have Nothing to Fear! ~ by June Sheltrown Reinke

I heard this being sung over and over the warriors of Christ, “I AM taking down the giants” and I heard that our WORDS shall be PROPELLED like the stones in David’s hands to take down the giants facing us!

5 stones, the number of GRACE!  Stand in faith and watch the giants fall!

“Beloved.  Though the enemy gathers his forces against you, Fear not!  I AM with you!  Draw up your battle lines and face them head on.

Do not be intimidated by his empty threats.  Do not be dismayed or terrified.  You are My David facing Goliath.

It was not the physical stones that took down the giant, but it was David’s faith in the Rock of his salvation!  Oh yes, it was ALL His God, My Child.  The stones were propelled by the Spirit of God.

And so shall it be with you, My Warrior.  As I was with David, so I AM with you.  I know the battles you face.  I know your struggles.  I know those who rise up against you.

But GREATER is He who is in you than he who is in the world.  I have brought you forth from the wilderness for such a time as this.  I have trained your hands for battle.  I have filled you with My Spirit.

By Grace you have been saved.  Whom shall you fear?  Who shall defy the Army of the Living God?  No one, My Beloved!

If your God be for you, who can stand against you?  My WORD in your mouth shall be propelled by the Spirit of God and your enemies shall fall.  What are you facing?

Nothing is too hard for your God as you stand in faith!  Yes, even the biggest of giants must YIELD to the Holy Spirit in you!

I shall deliver you from the hand of every “giant” that rises against you and I shall deliver them into your hands!

No weapon formed against you shall succeed!  Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit,” says The LORD of Hosts.

PROPEL:  To drive forward or onward by or as if by means of a force that imparts motion.

“Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God.  The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.”  Saul said to David, “Go, and the LORD be with you,”   1 Samuel 17:36-37.

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth,”   Acts 1:8.

“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that rises up against you. This is the heritage of the LORD’s servants, and their vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD,”   Isaiah 54:17.

“Have I not commanded you?  Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go,”   Joshua 1:9.
