  • I did not say to the offspring of Jacob, "Seek me in vain." – Isaiah 45:19b

    Isaiah 45:19b I did NOT say to the offspring of Jacob, "SEEK me IN VAIN."

    Luke 11:9  And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; SEEK, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10  For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 11  What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; 12  or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13  If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

    I Corinthians 15:58  Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is NOT IN VAIN.

    We praise and thank You, O God of Israel, that we are Your offspring by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. We thank You for Your words to encourage us to persevere as we seek You in prayer:

    I did not say to the offspring of Jacob, "Seek me in vain."

    We praise and thank You, O God of Israel, though You have hidden Yourself today, though we have prayed and we may not have heard Your answer this day, yet You have assured us with Your words:

    I did not say to the offspring of Jacob, "Seek me in vain."

    We praise and thank You, O God of Israel, though we seek day after day, though we labor in prayer day after day, and though we may feel it to be in vain, yet You have assured us with Your words:

    I did not say to the offspring of Jacob, "Seek me in vain."
    We praise and thank You, O God of Israel, though You hide Yourself today, though we have prayed, though we have asked and it may have not been given to us this day, yet You have assured us with Your words:

    I did not say to the offspring of Jacob, "Seek me in vain."

    We praise and thank You, O God of Israel, though You hide Yourself today, though we have prayed, though we have sought and we may have not found this day, yet You have assured us with Your words:

    I did not say to the offspring of Jacob, "Seek me in vain."

    We praise and thank You, O God of Israel, though You hide Yourself today, though we have prayed, though we have knocked and it may not have been opened to us day, yet You have assured us with Your words:


    I did not say to the offspring of Jacob, "Seek me in vain."

    We praise and thank You, O God of Israel, though we are weak, You have condescended to us for You have known our frame and You have remembered we are dust, and You have given us Your assuring words:

    I did not say to the offspring of Jacob, "Seek me in vain."

    We praise and thank You, O God of Israel, though there are times we faint and we do not pray as we ought, You persevere with us. Forgive us, O God of Israel, for our unfaithfulness. Thank You, for Your faithfulness. Thank You that You never faint. We praise and thank You for Your words given to us to so we might persevere in prayer:

    I did not say to the offspring of Jacob, "Seek me in vain."

    We praise and thank You, O God of Israel, though there are times we do not pray as we ought and we faint, You persevere with us. Forgive us, O God of Israel, for our unfaithfulness. Thank You for Your faithfulness. Thank You that You continue to pray for us. We praise and thank You for Your words given to us so we might persevere in prayer:

    I did not say to the offspring of Jacob, "Seek me in vain."

    O God of Israel, Come to us, strengthen us in our labor in You – equip us for this work of seeking You, this work of prayer – so we might be steadfast, immovable and always abounding in this work of prayer – for we know that our seeking You, our labor in You, is never in vain. We hold onto and rest in Your sure promise to us:


    I did not say to the offspring of Jacob, "Seek me in vain."

    Amen.

  • My precious Father, You know how I have struggled to keep in touch...I know that You are never far away, but in my dark hours I was struggling, fighting for joy and for the warmth of Your gaze.   Thank you for being my strength in persevering.   I am weak, I was weak, and I will be weak at some time again, but remembering Your strength being made perfect in my weakness, helps me to take heart.  I always want to feel Your touch even in the dark.  Amen

"he called it the tent of meeting..."

I am burdened to pray to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for the reformation and reviving of Christ's church.

The phrase tent of meeting comes from Exodus 33:7: Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far off from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting. And everyone who sought the Lord would go out to the tent of meeting, which was outside the camp.

This site is devoted to God first and foremost. In all that is done here, my prayer is that God is glorified and His Name magnified and Christ and Him crucified is lifted up so He might be preeminent and God might receive all the praise, honor and glory due His Holy Name. All who have come to a saving knowledge of our Father by grace through faith in the all-sufficient sacrifice of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ are welcome to enter this tent of meeting to seek the Lord.

This blog is a place for all believers in the Lord Jesus Christ to come and seek God's face for revival. My intention is for this tent of meeting to be a holy place where we can enter into PRAYER together to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, as the Holy Spirit leads you, please enter into prayer either here (think of "comments" as prayers) or on your own.

Habakkuk 3:2 O LORD, I have heard the report of you, and your work, O LORD, do I fear. In the midst of the years revive it; in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy.
