You Are Clay in the Potter’s Hand
“4 For
from days of old they have not heard or perceived by ear, nor has the eye seen
a God besides You, who acts in behalf of the one who waits for Him. 5 You
meet him who rejoices in doing righteousness, who remembers You in Your ways.
Behold, You were angry, for we sinned, we continued in them a long time; and
shall we be saved? 6 For all of us have become like one
who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment; and all
of us wither like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, take us
away. 7 There is no one who calls on Your name, who arouses
himself to take hold of You; for You have hidden Your face from us and have
delivered us into the power of our iniquities. 8 But now, O
Lord, You are our Father, we are the clay, and You our potter; and all of us
are the work of Your hand. 9 Do not be angry beyond measure, O
Lord, nor remember iniquity forever; behold, look now, all of us are Your
people,”
Isaiah
64:4-9.
We write
these decrees in the Name of Jesus Christ and in His authority and through His
power. The Angelic troops stand ready to dispatch these decrees to the heavenly
realms to the rulers, and authorities, and to post in the King’s Palace
(Revelations 2-3, Ephesians 3:10, Esther
8:10,13).
- We decree and declare the
Nations of the World are as CLAY in the POTTER’S HAND!
The Lord Adonai has called ALL NATIONS and KINGDOMS to Himself.
Those who LISTEN to what HE SAYS, He will BLESS, but to those who behave WICKEDLY will see DISASTER.
To those who had disaster spoken against them, if that Nation TURNS FROM THEIR EVIL, then HE WILL RELENT concerning the disaster He had planned to inflict on it.
- We decree and declare no one
has ever heard, no ear perceived, no eye seen, any God but YOU, Lord God
Almighty/ Adonai El Shaddai!
You WORK for HIM who WAITS for YOU!
You FAVOR those who are GLAD to DO JUSTICE, those who REMEMBER You in Your WAYS.
You are ANGRY with us when we continue to sin; but if we KEEP YOUR ANCIENT WAYS, we will be SAVED!
- We decree and declare EACH
ONE who is not WASHED IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB is like someone UNCLEAN,
their righteous deeds are as filthy rags in Your SIGHT; their misdeeds
blow them away like the wind.
But Lord/ Adonai, You FORGIVE those who in HUMILITY come SEEKING and TAKING HOLD of Your CLEANSING. Lord/ Adonai, YOU are our Father, we are the CLAY, You are our Potter; and we are all the Work of Your Hands.
- We decree and declare we
CONTINUE HOPING, we WAIT EAGERLY for that which we don’t see, with
PERSEVERANCE.
Holy Spirit HELPS us in our weakness, for we don’t know how to pray the way we would.
But He PLEADS ON OUR BEHALF with groanings too deep for words, and the One Who SEARCHES HEARTS knows exactly what the Spirit is thinking, because His pleadings for God’s People accord with God’s will.
- We decree and declare God CAUSES EVERYTHING to work together for the GOOD of those who LOVE GOD and are CALLED IN ACCORDANCE with His PURPOSE; because those whom He knew in advance, He also determined in advance would be CONFORMED to the pattern of His Son.
- We decree and declare we are CONVINCED that neither death nor life, neither angels nor other heavenly rulers, neither what exists nor what is coming, neither powers above nor powers below, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the LOVE of God which comes to us through Christ Jesus/ Messish Yeshua, our Lord/ Adonai!I decree and declare a CLEANSING and UNIFYING of the people of this land as these decrees go forth.
In the
name of King Jesus Christ, empowered and led of the Holy Spirit of God, we
dispatch the Angelic troops, throughout this land and in the spirit realm, to
deliver these decrees to all, both flesh and spirit.
The
enemy, the principalities and powers, have no authority to act against these
decrees of our King, the Lord God Almighty; their actions will be of no effect
to God’s chosen ones, but will be turned back on themselves for destruction.
The Lord
God Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth, we praise Your Name for You are True
and Faithful and Just to perform it. Amen! ~ Dawn Flores
100 days of Prayer
Day 52
‘Is
your heart as true to mine as mine is to yours?’ Jehonadab answered, ‘ It
is.’... So he gave him his hand. 2 Kings 10:15 (NRSV)
GIVE ME YOUR HAND
The key
text for John Wesley’s famous sermon on catholic spirit might appear at first
to be a strange choice for Wesley’s sweeping account of Christian love, its
generosity, and, as he puts it, ‘unspeakable tenderness’. He argues that
diversity of opinion or belief need not prevent our walking together peaceably;
‘though we cannot think alike, may we not love alike?’ The joined hands of Jehu
and Jehonadab provide a glimpse of ‘tenderness’ amidst an otherwise brutal
catalogue of massacre and judgement. In a context of stark enmity in the house
of Israel, Wesley identifies a moment of kinship, and its wider resonance for
universal love. A truly catholic spirit, Wesley writes, is a heart ‘enlarged
toward’ all humanity.
PRAYER
Loving
God, you urge us to the way of peace and kinship. Enlarge our hearts towards
those we find difficult to love. May your unspeakable tenderness be known in
the world.
