Hello, John and
Doves,
When does the Devil's hand turns into a pancake?
Answer: when he tries to smack you upside your head on your
helmet of salvation.
So then, what is that helmet?
"Take the helmet of salvation and the
sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."
Ephesians 6:17 NIV
"4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will
say it again: Rejoice!
5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation,
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your
requests to God.
7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:4-7 NIV
The Priestly Blessing
22 The Lord said to Moses, 23 “Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This
is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them:
24 “ ‘ “The Lord bless you
and keep you;
25 the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
26 the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.” ’
27 “So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will
bless them.”
Numbers 6:22-27 NIV
And how do I dare bless all of you who believe in Yeshua
HaMashiach as LORD and Savior?

Greetings and Doxology
4 John,
To the seven churches in the province of Asia:
Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who
is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne, 5
and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the
firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the
earth.
To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his
blood, 6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve
his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and
ever! Amen.
7 “Look, he is coming with the clouds,”
and “every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him”;
and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.”
So shall it be! Amen.
Revelation 1:4-7 NIV
So, what about that blessing: is it still valid?
It is written,
For no matter how many promises God has
made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen"
is spoken by us to the glory of God.
2 Corinthians 1:20
~Blessings everlasting,
Mike
