Father in Heaven, Thank You that we are under the outpouring of Your glorious Spirit as we're getting prepared for Passover and You are shining the light of Your righteous countenance upon us showing us the leaven that is in crevices in our minds and mindsets and the inclinations of our heart. We thank You that You are not overlooking our sin because You love us too much and You don't want anything to separate us from You now or eternally. Thank You for this time of purification and sanctification as You bring to light the sin that is hidden and tucked away, the leaven that has to be cleansed out that we would be an unleavened loaf. We praise You and thank You for Yahshua’s precious blood that is always our hope in the midst of our wretched sin-nature deserving Your wrath and eternal damnation.
The precious blood cries out to us that there's still hope there's still time to get right with You and to get our sins placed in the only place where they are forgotten and it's in Your love covered in Your blood.”
Thank You that we know Your love through Your forgiveness, Your mercy, and Your grace. Thank You Yahveh that You don't leave us in the condition we're in, even now, we're in need of so much forgiveness. Even now, we need Your blood to cover and cleanse and purify us. Even now, we need Your Holy Spirit to continually convict us of our sin and Your righteousness and the judgments that come upon all sin. Thank You that You have come, in the heat of Your presence and the power of Your indignation over the grief that we have caused You inadvertently by just living casually in fleshy habits, attitudes, aptitudes, inclinations, and thoughts and words that have grieved You to such a height of anger, that the fear of You covered our shame with trepidation of going any further without having You deal with us now, this side of the judgment seat, that we might be forgiven and cleansed in Your blood. Thank You for the magnitude of the fear of You that came upon us afresh and that You were here and Your presence was fear provoking because of Your displeasure and grief over our sin that had gone unchecked, instead of repented for and covered and turned from. As small as it is, as insignificant as it seemed, it was major in Your sight, a stench in Your nostrils, a grief in Your sight, and a sadness in Your omnipotent loving heart.
Continue to help us Yahveh to work out our salvation. We're still in the now, we're still in the body, we can still work out our salvation with fear and trembling. Help us to accelerate the process for our eternal well-being with You. You're gathering Your beloved under Your everlasting wings of love to Yourself. You are calling us from heaven to quickly come up higher to be with You, spend more time with You, and bask in Your presence and get rid of all of the carnal nature that besets us so frequently. It's like an old comfortable shoe that we wear and are unaware that it is a stench. It is filled with sorrows and grief in Your holy sight. Thank You, Father in heaven, for having such mercy to discipline us, Your children. You don't discipline those who are not Yours, so we thank You to know Your love in the mercy of discipline and displeasure this side of the judgment seat.
We still have life here and we thank You for the service each one of us can render to You, the glory we can bring to You, and the opportunities to continue to repent and turn and become more like You in our hearts, deeds, thoughts and words. Father in heaven, help us to quickly grow more and more into Yahshua’s identity. We know we are welcomed, only because of Your blood covering us. Thank You for Your love and mercy that we are not naked, but we're clothed in Your righteousness. Thank You for Your holy purpose and will that we all seek individually and corporately. We praise You that You are giving us more time to pour out our lives so Yahshua can live through us and more people can be drawn to You through our crucified lives.
Yahshua (Jesus) You gave everything and rendered Your life as nothing, except to be the Passover Lamb to die for our sins, cover our nakedness, and to save our wretched souls. HalleluYah! May this Passover be filled with the riches of Your glory overflowing each and every one of Your children all over the world as we behold You the Lamb and uphold Your blood now until the day that You take us to be with You. There we will behold You as the Lamb in the center of the throne and all of Heaven's hosts will commemorate what You have done to bring glory to Your Father, and to bring children into the kingdom, and to have Your bride who will sit with You on Your throne and will rule and reign with You in Your kingdom forever. Help us, Father, never to take lightly the high call for which You died to make us worthy to be called Your bride in the name, power, and authority of Yahshua may it be so. Amen
