Monday August 11, 2014 “Cleansing”

 

Nehemiah 13:22   And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should go and guard the gates, to sanctify the Sabbath day.
Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of Your mercy!”
     Nehemiah commanded the Levites, the set apart ones, to cleanse themselves.  This was a part of sanctifying the Sabbath which had been violated by God’s people.
  Pray today that Christian leaders understand the defilement that occurs, when people fail to observe a Sabbath Day.  We are made after the image and likeness of God who had a day of rest in Genesis after creation. The Levites as with every believer must honor God and spend time with Him or they will begin to walk in the flesh which results in corruption.  Pray that leaders will call God’s people to a walk in the Spirit on the Lord’s day that will result in an abundant life that will speak loudly to a watching world of the reality of God.
 Special Prayer Focus
    Please pray for families of loved ones lost on the recent airline crashes and the one shot down in Ukraine. Pray that the situations be handled wisely by the world community, especially by our country.  Pray that truth be revealed concerning who was responsible.
    Also pray for the crisis in Israel concerning Gaza and Libya, Iraq, Syria, etc.  Pray for the protection of innocent lives and that the world community see the situation through the eyes of truth.  Finally, pray that the United States continue to support our strongest ally in that area of the world, Israel, for in doing so we will be blessed.  Gen 12:3
