Lily Portion for Today
Housewives, remember, prayer is releasing the energy of YHVH, because prayer is to ask Him to do what seems impossible to you. (Prayer: Adonai, You have called me to be the heartbeat of this household. Please make me sincere, faithful and obedient to Your Holy Will. Thank you for this wonderful privilege of being a mother, amein)
Numbers chapters 22 and 23 record the deeds of Balaam and Balak. The letter to the church in Pergamum indicates there were some there who were learning the teaching of Balaam so many years later. Revelation 22:14, “But I have a few things against you, because some of you hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to place a stumbling block before the Israelites so they would eat food sacrificed to idols and commit sexual immorality.” Unfortunately there are many churches today that have the same problem, maybe they should consider this letter a warning for them as well…
Controversial topic for this month's discussion and many do have different opinions on this. I would really like to see what and how people think and react to this. Maybe help me learn more on this subject. But as for now, I believe Paul has changed many of Yeshua's teaching and if you look at many "believers" -- they follow Paul's teachings rather than Yeshua's teachings.
Perseverance in Prayer

Abba, the course that You have set before me is clear. You have called me to pray for others, to respond to many prayer requests I receive for those who need agreement or those who do not know how to pray for themselves. Adonai, You are the Vinedresser, Yeshua is the Vine and I am the branch. I remain in Him and He remains in me, and my prayer bear much fruit; apart from Him I can do nothing. Abba, at times I am tempted to grow weary and overburdened with the pain and heartache of others. Help me to remember that Yeshua said: “Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28). I take His yoke upon me and learn from Him, for He is gentle and humble in heart, and I will find rest for my soul. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Adonai, Yeshua said that I ought always to pray and not to turn faint, or lose heart, or give up. I am earnest and unwearied and steadfast in my prayer life, being alert and intent in praying with thanksgiving. Therefore, since I am surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, I throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and I run with perseverance the race marked out for me. I fix my eyes on Yeshua, the Author and Perfector of my faith, Who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right-hand of Your Throne. I consider Him Who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that I will not grow weary and lose heart during times of intercession. In Yeshua’ Name I pray, Amein.
