Morning by Morning, November 4 - Lord of Hosts of Heaven’s Armies
Good morning, Lord Jesus. Arise in my spirit, with Your faith and hope and love today, that my spirit may be one with Your Spirit -- for “anyone united to the Lord becomes one spirit with Him” (1 Corinthians 6:17). ...
“When an attendant of the man of God rose early in the morning and went out, an army with horses and chariots was all around the city. His servant said, ‘Alas, master! What shall we do?’ He replied, ‘Do not be afraid, for there are more with us than there are with them.’ Then Elisha prayed: ‘O Lord, please open his eyes that he may see.’ So the Lord opened the eyes of the servant, and he saw; the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha” (2 Kings 6:15-17).
Lord of Hosts -- Lord of Heaven’s Angel Armies -- Lord Sabaoth, as You are called by this name in Your Word (Malachi 3:7; Zechariah 4:6; and many others) -- come open the eyes of my heart that I may see. What the Prophet Elisha prayed for his servant is so aligned with what the Apostle Paul prayed for us as Your disciples:
“I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know Him, so that, with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may know what is the hope to which He has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance among the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of His power for us who believe, according to the working of His great power” (Ephesians 1:17-19).
One the powerful expressions of Your great power is the hosts of heaven, the angel armies who surround us, watch over us, fighting for us and for our nation and for the nations of the earth who will be judged as Your “sheep” nations, who will fulfill their redemptive gifts and identities with the heart of their Shepherd (Matthew 25:31-46).
Let us not be discouraged, despite anything negative we see. And let us be encouraged by everything positive that we see, because our eyes are on You. We have this “spirit of wisdom and revelation as (we) come to know (You)” -- not just with our eyes or our minds, but in our hearts (Ephesians 1:17).
Yes, Lord. No matter what comes against us, not matter what tries to surround us, “there are more with us than there are with them” (2 Kings 6:16). We need not fear. Instead, we are to be filled with faith. For You are with us through whatever we go through (Isaiah 43:1-7). For You are with us always (Matthew 28:20). You’ll never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). And greater is the One who is in us that the one who is in the world (1 John 4:4). No, darkness cannot overcome the Light, but Light always overcomes the darkness (John 1:5).
Lord of Hosts -- Lord of Heavens’ Angel Armies -- Lord Sabaoth, come move in the working of Your great power in my heart and my nation and the nations of the earth today. Let there be a shifting in the heavenlies and an awaking on the earth! Some may trust in governments, some may trust in horses, some may trust in chariots, but we will trust in the name of our God! (Psalm 20:7) In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
