Fast For Family

 #FastForFamily

A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.


Psalm 127 Unless the LORD builds the house,

those who build it labor in vain.

Jeremiah 22:13

Zechariah 4:1-7

 

Unless the LORD watches over the city,

the watchman stays awake in vain.


***”The Jew would ask, why is the house being built, if not for family? 

…And why are the watchmen protecting the city, if not for the families in it?” (Boice)

I believe this is also how the Body of Christ is meant to look***


vs2  It is in vain that you rise up early

and go late to rest,

eating the bread of anxious toil;

for he gives to his beloved sleep.

Matthew 6:19-34

***Because, to the Jew there was (and is) no greater heritage given by God, to a man, than his family. Everything else was supposed to take lower priority.***


3  Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD,

the fruit of the womb a reward.

***A warning to Israel not to offer their children (a gift from The LORD) up to moloch…as was the custom of surrounding nations (Lev18:21).

And for us today…we are not to despise our children…they are not supposed to be a curse, they are a blessing!***


4  Like arrows in the hand of a warrior

are the children of one’s youth.


No greater weapon or privilege do we have, than to bring up our children in the Ways of the Lord…the survival of Israel as a nation was dependent on this. And for us…? Matthew 24:14; Mark16:15. - The torch must continue to be passed down!

Our children do not belong to society…they are a gift from the LORD…to us.


5  Blessed is the man

who fills his quiver with them!

He shall not be put to shame

when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.


***Then and now, the family was the basic unit, and most important element of society (Boice)***


Our society may have been turned upside down, but we as a Church do not have to be.


It is my prayer that before His return, the Lord God of Israel, Yeshua ha Mashiach, will set us, His Body, right side up and united under Him who is our Head…And that, as parents , guardians, teachers, we would see every child given to us through the eyes of the Lord…

That as His Church, both men and women…husbands and wives…moms and dads…we would understand what our true and Godly priorities really are…and looking totally unto Him, we would walk in them (Zechariah 4:1-7)

For I have seen an end times Church that looks like a Family.

See also Psalm 128

The Beautiful Remnant of America Part 1

15  “Can a woman forget her nursing child,      that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget,      yet I will not forget you. 16  Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;      your walls are continually before me. Isaiah 49:15-16 This most recent prophecy is part of my “Fast for Family”, and again runs parallel with my previous visions - some of which can be read in the footnotes at the end. The Beautiful Remnant of the United States of America  i The unity of baptism : I saw many in America: Many families. They stood as if on the banks of the Red Sea, as Israel under Moses…driven there by the Holy Spirit, perused by the kingdom of the anti-Christ. They had been driven there for Baptism: I saw many families. They went down separately…and when they came up they were one: in the Lord and in each other. I realized that this type of unity…the desire and prayer of Jesus…can only ...

Volume III The Beautiful Remnant of America - Part 2

The Beautiful Remnant of America Part II  So they shall fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come like a rushing stream, which the wind of the Lord drives. Isaiah 59:19 Before continuing, please ensure that you have first read Chapter 1 ~ The Olive Press https://undergod714.blogspot.com/2024/03/john-1220-among-those-who-went-up-to.html i ~ The “Hidden” Remnant   “What is a tree without its roots? Roots expand underground in the darkness - the hidden place, that the tree may stand firmly grounded through the storm. This expansion does not come without faith, time, patience and endurance, and goes entirely un-noticed and un-acclaimed,  because it takes place underground . And yet we know that this expansion is essential to the life and health of the tree.  So it is for the Church in this hour… “What is a house without its foundations?  A house built quickly- on sand    - will not stand - but the ...

Volume III ~ The Olive Press

This is the final of three volumes. As with the first two, there is repetitions - the same events but from different viewpoints - and as before, I ask that the reader be patient. You will read again much of what you have already read in volumes 1 & 2 - but there is a twist: Now, there are other nations involved: Because what happens in America will have a direct (or indirect) impact on the nations of the world. I will also write in detail about a global unraveling, that although beginning in America, will affect  the nations of the world. Volume I describes this unraveling, in many different ways. I recommend, before you read one more word of this booklet, to read the first 2 Volumes. Because their purpose is to prepare the Remnant of America for this unraveling.  None of the first pilgrims lived very long, upon entering the New World: But they were obedient to the Lord in the time He allotted them: The seed was sown into the soil of the infant nation. The harvest still re...
