Friday Morning Scripture (Wk48/2021) – Psalm 19

Prayer for Victory over Enemies.

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

20 [1]May the Lord answer you (David) in the day of trouble!

May the name of the God of Jacob set you securely on high [and defend you in battle]!

2 May He send you help from the sanctuary (His dwelling place) and support and strengthen you from Zion!

3 May He remember all your meal offerings and accept your burnt offering. Selah.

4 May He grant you your heart’s desire and fulfill all your plans.

5 We will sing joyously over your victory, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners. May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.

6 Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the saving strength of His right hand.

7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we will remember and trust in the name of the Lord our God.

8 They have bowed down and fallen, but we have risen and stood upright.

9 O Lord, save [the [2]king]; may the [3]King answer us in the day we call.

Psalm 20:1-14 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – 10.12.21 – A Life On The altar

For a long time, you have come and given me your offering to place on the altar. You have come and poured out your costly perfume at my feet many times. I have loved these acts of adoration at my feet.

In this season, I am calling you higher. Come higher; no longer do I want you just to bring me an offering or pour out your oil at my feet, I want YOU to be the sacrifice; I want YOU to be the oil.

Am I worth everything you have? Are you willing to give your life as a sacrifice of praise or as the oil of love and intimacy poured out? I no longer want small sacrifices that are fleeting, but I want a life of praise, sacrifice, and adoration to me.

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

Colossians 3:1 (NIV)

Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

John 12:3 (NIV)
