“As the heavens are higher than the earth, SO ARE MY WAYS HIGHER THAN YOUR WAYS and MY THOUGHTS THAN YOUR THOUGHTS. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, SO IS MY WORD THAT GOES OUT FROM MY MOUTH: (every one of these words that we read have come from THE MOUTH OF THE LORD) IT WILL NOT RETURN TO ME EMPTY (reqam: without cause), BUT WILL ACCOMPLISH WHAT I DESIRE AND ACHIEVE THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH I SENT IT. You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will BURST INTO SONG before you, and all the trees of the field WILL CLAP THEIR HANDS.” (Isaiah 55:9-12)
What do we do to see this happen? “…BE STRONG in the Lord and in HIS mighty power. PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the RULERS, against the AUTHORITIES, against the POWERS of this dark world and against the SPIRITUAL FORCES OF EVIL in the heavenly realms.” (Ephesians 6:10-12) “And PRAY IN THE SPIRIT on all occasions with ALL KINDS OF PRAYERS AND REQUESTS. With this in mind, be alert and ALWAYS KEEP ON PRAYING…” (Ephesians 6:18)
