 שַׁבָּת שָׁלוֹם

 

Today we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the 1500’s.

September 5, 2020

 

September -- the seventh month – Now the ninth month

Middle English septembre
Latin September
Latin septem "seven" + -ber (adj. suffix)
Latin september mensis "seventh month"

September had 30 days, until Numa when it had 29 days, until Julius when it became 30 days long.

 

Yehovah God has His own calendar, which is deleted from the world 

 

We are now in the 6th month of God called Elulday 16

 

Neh.6 [15] So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul ,  אֱלוּל in fifty and two days

Neh.7 [73] So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinims, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities; and 
when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities.

Today’s Topic:

 

The prayers of saints

 

This is such a huge subject – too big for one study

 

In our bible search:

For pray and all the forms of the word:

TaNaKh - matches 366

Gospels and letters - matches 174

 

For prayer

TaNaKh - matches 80

Gospels and letters -matches 174

 

Here are a few verses for a short study today:

 

Rev.5 [8] And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints.

Rev.8 [3] And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.[4] And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand. [5] And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

Pss.88

[1] Yehovah God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you:
[2] Let my prayer come before you: incline your ear unto my cry;
[3] For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draws nigh unto the grave.
[4] I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:
[5] Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom you remember no more: and they are cut off from your hand.
[6] Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
[7] Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and you hast afflicted me with all your waves. Selah.

[8] Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; you hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
[9] Mine eye mourn by reason of affliction: Yehovah, I have called daily upon you, I have stretched out my hands unto you.
[10] Wilt you show wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise you? Selah.
[11] Shall your loving-kindness be declared in the grave? or your faithfulness in destruction?
[12] Shall your wonders be known in the dark? and your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
[13] But unto you have I cried, Yehovah; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent you.
[14] Yehovah, why cast you off my soul? why hide you your face from me?
[15] I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer your terrors I am distracted.
[16] Thy fierce wrath goes over me; your terrors have cut me off.
[17] They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.
[18] Lover and friend hast you put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.

[13] But unto you have I cried, Yehovah; and in the morning shall my prayer go before - prevent you.

 

Pss.102 [1] Hear my prayer, Yehovah, and let my cry come unto you.

[17] He, Yehovah will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.

 

Pss.109 [[1] Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
[2] For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
[3] They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
[4] For my love they are my adversaries:
but I give myself unto prayer.

[5] And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
[6] Set thou a wicked man over him: and
let Satan stand at his right hand.
[7] When he shall be judged, let him be condemned:
and let his prayer become sin.
[8] Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
[9] Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

 

Pss.141 [2] Let my prayer be set forth before you as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

Pss.32 [6] For this shall every one that is godly pray unto you in a time when you mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.

 

Pss.35 [13] But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.

Some prayers:

King Solomon’s pray

1Kgs.8

 

Daniel’s pray

Chapters 6 and 9

 

Zacharias, Mary’s pray

Luke 1

 

Simeon’s prayer

Luke 2

 


1Kgs.9

[1] And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of Yehovah, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do,
[2] That Yehovah appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon.
[3] And Yehovah said unto him,
I have heard your prayer and your supplication, that you hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which you hast built, to put my name there forever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.
[4] And if you wilt walk before me, as David your father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments:
[5] Then I will establish the throne of your kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David your father, saying, There shall not fail you a man upon the throne of Israel.

 

Hezekiah’s prayer

2Kgs.20

[1] In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus says Yehovah, Set your house in order; for you shall die, and not live.

[2] Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto Yehovah, saying,[3] I beseech you, Yehovah, remember now how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.

[4] And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of Yehovah came to him, saying,
[5] Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus says Yehovah, the God of David your father, I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears: behold, I will heal you: on the third day you shall go up unto the house of Yehovah.
[6] And I will add unto your days fifteen years; and I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
[7] And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.
[8] And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that Yehovah will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of Yehovah the third day?
[9] And Isaiah said, This sign shall you have of Yehovah, that Yehovah will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forth ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?
[10] And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.
[11] And Isaiah the prophet cried unto Yehovah: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.

 

Some Gospels and letters:

Acts.6

[1] And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
[2] Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
[3] Wherefore, brethren, look you out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
[4] But
we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

 

Acts.10

[1] There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
[2] A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
[3] He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
[4] And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, what is it, Lord? And he said unto him,
Thy prayers and your alms are come up for a memorial before God.

[31]…Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.

 

Rom.1 [9] For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; 10] Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.
[11] For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
[12] That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

 

Rom.10 [1] Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

 

Rom.12 [4] For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
[5] So we, being many, are one body in Messiah, and every one members one of another.
[6] Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
[7] Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teaches, on teaching;
[8] Or he that exhorts, on exhortation: he that gives, let him do it with simplicity; he that rules, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
[9] Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
[10] Be kindly affectionate one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another;
[11] Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
[12] Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation;
continuing instant in prayer;[13] Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

[14] Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
[15] Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
[16] Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
[17] Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

[18] If it be possible, as much as lies in you, live peaceably with all men.
[19] Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord.
[20] Therefore if your enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing you shall heap coals of fire on his head.
[21] Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

 

Rom.15 [30] Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Yeshua the Messiah's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me; [31] That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;
[32] That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
[33] Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

 

Eph.1 [15] Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
[16] Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;[17] That the God of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:[18] The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,[19] And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
[20] Which he wrought in Messiah, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,[21] Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:[22] And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,[23] Which is his body, the fullness of him that fills all in all.

 

Eph.6 [10] Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
[11] Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
[12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
[13] Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
[14] Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
[15] And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
[16] Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
[17] And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
[18
] Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;[19] And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,[20] For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

 

Phil.1 [3] I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
[4]
Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
[5] For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;
[6] Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Yeshua the Messiah:[7] Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of my grace.

 

Phil.4 [6] Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

 

Col.4 [1] Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
[2] Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
[3] Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Messiah, for which I am also in bonds:[4] That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
[5] Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
[6] Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man.

 

1Thes.1 [2] We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; [3] Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, in the sight of God and our Father;[4] Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.

 

1Tim.2 [1] I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;[2] For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

 

Jas.5 [13] Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
[14] Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
[15] And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

[16] Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

 

1Pet.4 [7]…the end of all things is at hand: be you therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. [8] And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
[9] Use hospitality one to another without grudging.

 

One more Psalm:

Pss.72 - Messiah

[1] Give the king your judgments, O God, and your righteousness unto the king's son.
[2] He shall judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with judgment.
[3] The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
[4] He shall judge the poor of the people; he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
[5] They shall fear you as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
[6] He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.
[7] In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endures.
[8] He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
[9] They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
[10] The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
[11] Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
[12] For he shall deliver the needy when he cries; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
[13] He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
[14] He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
[15] And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.
[16] There shall be a handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
[17] His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call Him blessed.

[18] Blessed be the Yehovah God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.

[19] And blessed be His glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.

[20] The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.  and so is the study for now.

 

1Thes. 5 [17] Pray without ceasing.

 

In closing for now:

Remember:

For with God nothing shall be impossible.
