We had a wonderful Sabbath rest yesterday. Robert and I slept until 10:00! Cora said, "How can you sleep so long?" I said, "When you're in your 60s, you may be able to sleep that long too." lol
Then we showered; ate a bowl of cereal; and watched the livestream of our church service. Say, perhaps you would like to watch with us on Sabbaths. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN2TJPdq6TFGzxIt5rQxYpA
The church is located 60 miles East of here in a little town called Alfred, North Dakota. Our pastor loves the Lord and loves people. He preaches the truth in love on Saturday mornings and that isn't all that popular these days. Still, I know you would be blessed if you want to listen to the sermons shared at the website.
A neighbor showed up towards the end of the service asking to look at our combine. He's thinking about getting a newer one and wanted to take a look at ours. We ended up talking with him until 1:30. The weather was perfect and it was nice to share ideas with a fellow farmer out on the deck. We even talked about the Sabbath
Then I warmed up what I had made for supper the night before and we ate. I cleaned up my kitchen and the guys walked across the road. We're putting up that grain bin the guys took down last month in Minnesota. The bin guys came to set up the forms for the cement which is coming on Monday.
I took a short nap and then Andrew and his family came down for supper. I got to hold Josiah and play with Timothy while my world-famous meatballs cooked. ;) They really are quite good. I can tell that people like them as there aren't any left. lol
Then we all watched "Shades of Gray" together. It's the story of Joseph and his jealous brothers and the father that stirred up all of that jealousy. Seeing inside of a prison was interesting but, of course, the best part was when he forgave his brothers.
While Andrew, Marie, and boys were here I got a polo from Cora of Elsie stirring pancake batter for their supper. She is such a little helper and it's always a comfort when Cora shares little moments in their lives over there in far, far, far away Minnesota. I am very thankful for the Marco Polo app that makes it possible for us to share videos with each other.
Then Andrew took his precious family home; we had prayers with "Uncle Jacob" and Robert and I went to bed. Sadly, I didn't think of posting Day 3 proclamations but I'm sure that they will be just as effective today as they would have been yesterday. lol Here they are.
May God bless your week!
Dawn
Day Three
Morning: Healing the Land (Psalms 33:12 ESV – Blessed Is the Nation)
"Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom He has chosen as His heritage!"
The power of the blessing is greater than the power of any curse!
Declaration:
We decree that blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, and the people He has chosen as His own inheritance. We decree we are blessed, and as Believers we are part of a holy nation. We decree that because of Your covenant with Believers in this nation, that our God is the Lord. And where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom and liberty – for the rewards of Christ's suffering. Amen and amen.
Noon: Restraining Evil (Colossians 2:15 TPT – By the Power of the Cross)
"Then Jesus made a public spectacle of all the powers and principalities of darkness, stripping away from them every weapon and all their spiritual authority and power to accuse us. And by the power of the Cross, Jesus led them around as prisoners in a procession of triumph. He was not their prisoner; they were His!"
Jesus established victory over satan and his kingdom of darkness when He made a public spectacle of them as He hung on the Cross. Three days later He rose from the grave and then ascended into Heaven to sit at the right hand of our Father, making a way for us to ascend to be more than conquerors.
Declaration:
Jesus, we rise up and appropriate the victory You won on the Cross and through Your resurrection. And in the authority You have bestowed to us as sons and daughters in the Kingdom of God, we declare that all weapons of the enemy, including authority and power to accuse to bring destructive harm and death, are restrained now. We stand in triumph with You and proclaim that all demonic schemes in operation through all of the turmoil and chaos in this nation will not succeed! We declare that we are more than conquerors standing in triumph. Jesus, You are the King of kings and the Lord of lords. You are enthroned in the hearts of men and in this land. Glory to God!
Night: Releasing the Promise (Hebrews 11:6 – He Is a Rewarder!)
"And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him."
Our God is a rewarder of those who seek His face, and tenacious faith pleases God.
Declaration:
Praise the Lord! Yes, we praise the Lord that our God not only hears us, but He delights in answering our prayers. By faith, we declare that Heaven is coming to Earth and His will is being established. God's lavish abundance is on display in our lives and by His grace we are pleasing in His sight! We speak forth, "Let faith arise! A new dawning and a bright future is now. It is not only coming in the future; it is now here!" Amen and amen
