.@RoshReignMusic Gets Caught Up In A "Sticky Situation"

Jamaican Songstress Rosh Reign is steadily becoming a household name, and has been providing great music for the world to enjoy. She had the people talking thanks to a successful EP release and a high profile collaboration earlier this year, and has a few surprises in store that will open more doors for her. Until then, she has to get out of a “Sticky Situation”. Working for the first time with…

The term "Rastafari" derives from "Ras Tafari Makonnen", the pre-regnal title of Haile Selassie, the former Ethiopian emperor who occupies a central role in Rasta belief. The term "Ras" means a duke or prince in the Ethiopian Semitic languages; "Tafari Makonnen" was Selassie's personal name. It is unknown why the early Rastas adopted this form of Haile Selassie's name as the basis of the term for their religion. As well as being the religion's name, "Rastafari" is also used for the religion's practitioners themselves. Many commentators—including some academic sources and some practitioners—refer to the movement as "Rastafarianism". However, the term is disparaged by many Rastafari, who believe that the use of -ism implies religious doctrine and institutional organisation, things they wish to avoid.

Ras (Amharic: ራስ, romanized: ras, lit. 'head' compare with Arabic Rais or Hebrew Rosh), is a royal title in the Ethiopian Semitic languages. It is one of the powerful non-imperial titles.

Historian Harold G. Marcus equates the Ras title to a duke;[citation needed] others have compared it to "prince".

The combined title of Leul Ras (Amharic: ልዑል ራስ) was given to the heads of the cadet branches of the Imperial dynasty, such as the Princes of Gojjam, Tigray, Ras Tafari Makonnen and the Selalle sub-branch of the last reigning Shewan Branch, and meaning "Lord of Lords", the highest title of lord.

Years ago Berel Gartner shared one of the most remarkable stories ever told on BBC radio. His own. Recently a clip of Rabbi YY Jacobson retelling this story was circling the social channels.

When Berel Gartner was 12 before World War II, he was one of the children who left Germany through the Kinder-transport. He arrived in England and was taken to an orphanage. He spent most of his days crying and asking his caregivers when he would see his parents again. As hard as they tried to make him happy, he could not be consoled.

One day, Berel’s caregivers found out that King George VI would be passing through their village, as he frequently did during the early years of his reign. When they told Berel that they would be seeing the king pass by that day, it was the first time in weeks that he stopped crying. Berel had a secret plan.

Berel the other Jewish children were taken to the town square and stood behind a barricade as they waited for the king to pass by. As the royal carriage came closer, Berel jumped the barricade and ran with all of his might towards the king’s carriage. As soon as the royal guards saw him, they grabbed him and carried him back to the barricade. The king asked his guards what was going on. When they told him about the boy who ran towards his carriage, he invited Berel to come closer.

The king asked Berel, “Why did you run towards the carriage? Is there something you would like to tell me?” Berel broke down crying and told the king how much he missed his parents who were still back in Germany. He then wiped the tears and said, “Please. Please help bring my parents here.”

King George responded, “Young boy, we are at war with Germany. It would be impossible for me to do that.”

“But you’re the king of England!” Berel cried. “You can do anything! Please bring my parents to me.”

The king looked at the boy with compassion and said, “Please don’t cry. I promise I will do what I can to try and make it happen.”

Berel gave the king his parents’ names and thanked him, unsure of what to expect.

A month later, there was a knock at the door of the orphanage. Berel’s parents had arrived. Somehow, they were brought out of Germany and were reunited with their son.

Our sages teach us that in the days leading up to Rosh Hashanah, the Almighty leaves his palace and roams throughout the villages and fields to be closer to His subjects. It is our chance to jump the barricade and come closer to the King. It’s the time we can pour out our heart and ask Him for anything.

This Rosh Hashanah, take advantage of this special time to experience the Almighty’s closeness. Clarify the goals you deeply yearn to accomplish this coming year, and beseech G-d to invest in you a year of tremendous blessings and joy.

Unhinged headcanons I had on my birthday but didn’t have time to post for obvious reasons: 

Simon and Wilhelm high-five after sex. 

If Wilhelm got a mullet, Simon would shave it off. 

Wille has 4 million tote bags. 

August watches Andrew Tate for sure.

Maddie and Stella speak entirely in Tik Tok references.

Felice watches medieval royalty tv shows. Like Reign and Merlin and all that jazz.

I feel like anytime anyone hits their head in rowing practice, Simon speaks only in Spanish to confuse the fuck out of them. 

I don’t know why but I’m like 90% sure that Maddie has a birthmark on her stomach. 

Fredrika totally had a meltdown at some point because she found out “lady-in-waiting” was no longer a job. 

Wilhelm makes horrid jokes and Felice’s response is, “Wille, please, think of the children.” 

Rosh watched Bratz movies as a child. Ayub watched Barbie movies. It causes tension now.

[grapehyasynth]

midsommar

aka, i want wilmon to have a much happier summer break than their winter break

They celebrate Midsommar at Fredrika’s parents’ estate. It’s Felice’s idea; she’s almost as eager as Wilhelm to get away from family for a bit. They travel together in one of the royal family’s cars, while Simon, Ayub, and Rosh arrive by train, if only because Wille is still in the middle of the “can we spend taxpayer money on my boyfriend” negotiations (with both the Royal Court and the boyfriend in question). 

They reign over an unnecessarily large table on the back lawn for the eight of them, the house staff bringing out plates laden with fish and salad and fruit and cake. Stella makes flower crowns for everyone and fusses over how Fredrika wears hers. Wille smiles at Simon, who looks like a sun-bronzed fawn with his halo of harebell and mountain avens resting on his extra-fluffy curls. “You look good in a crown.” 

Simon clucks his tongue. “Okay, miss me with that royalist nonsense,” he groans, but he still leans in to give Wille a strawberry-flavored kiss that Rosh and Ayub gleefully heckle.

Sara’s absence from their group is as palpable as if they’d left a seat empty for her. Wille sees it in the way Felice will sometimes lift her head from her phone to make a comment and then pause, looking a little lost and crestfallen. He sees it in the way Madison tries a little too hard to make Simon feel welcome. 

Earlier in the summer, not long after the Jubilee, Wille had held Simon as he cried about what was seemingly irreparably broken between him and his sister. “She’s dead to me,” he hiccuped, and Wille had murmured, “You don’t mean that,” because he knows what it feels like to have a dead sibling. 

It’s a rare shadow on an otherwise resplendent day. Felice, Fredrika, and Ayub get a little tipsy on fruit wine and try to make everyone dance. Wille laughs himself to tears at Simon’s earnest efforts to keep up with the flawed choreography. Maddie and Rosh can’t keep their eyes off each other; at one point Rosh says faux-casually to Simon, “Your rich friends aren’t as bad as I expected,” and he pretends to fall out of his chair. 

Several hours into the celebration, when they’ve moved from singing traditional songs to blasting EDM from Felice’s phone, Wille tangles his ankles with Simon’s and finds Simon’s wrist under the table. “Hey,” he says. 

Simon looks up at him, squinting into the sun. “Hey.” 

“It’s the longest day of the year, and I’m in love with you.” 

Simon rolls his eyes but he can’t fight the way his face goes all gooey. “Will you still love me on the shortest day of the year?” 

“And every day in between.” 

Simon holds his gaze for a long, perfect moment, their friends’ hilarity fading to a sweet backdrop. “It’s the longest day of the year, and I’m in love with the most dramatic boy on the planet.” 

“That must be tough work for you,” Wille murmurs, reeling his boyfriend in for another kiss. Because they can do that now, and he doesn’t for a second take that for granted.

1 Nephi Chapter 10, "The Gathering."

Lehi predicts that the Jews will be taken captive by the Babylonians—He tells of the coming among the Jews of a Messiah, a Savior, a Redeemer—Lehi tells also of the coming of the one who should baptize the Lamb of God—Lehi tells of the death and resurrection of the Messiah—He compares the scattering and gathering of Israel to an olive tree—Nephi speaks of the Son of God, of the gift of the Holy Ghost, and of the need for righteousness. About 600–592 B.C.

=The Voice of God predicts the Jews will become captive by "that which makes the economy flow" and in response, Israel will gather to react to the Baptism of the Lamb of God, the Pentecost, and the need for global peace.

The Lamb of God is the Paschal Lamb, the last time blood is shed in violence on the planet:

"to the entire community of Israel, saying, On the tenth of the month" : Speak today on Rosh Chodesh [the New Moon] that they should take it [the lamb] on the tenth of the month.

=The One Tenth is "thou shalt not kill." "this": The Passover sacrifice of Egypt had to be taken on the tenth, but not the Passover sacrifice of later generations. 1 And now I, Nephi, proceed to give an account upon athese plates of my proceedings, and my reign and ministry; wherefore, to proceed with mine account, I must speak somewhat of the things of my father, and also of my brethren.

2 For behold, it came to pass after my father had made an end of speaking the words of his adream, and also of exhorting them to all diligence, he spake unto them concerning the Jews—

3 That after they should be destroyed, even that great city aJerusalem, and many be bcarried away captive into cBabylon, according to the own due time of the Lord, they should dreturn again, yea, even be brought back out of captivity; and after they should be brought back out of captivity they should possess again the land of their inheritance.

=A real prediction of the redrawing of the borders by the British Commonwealth after WWII in an attempt to create a safe sovereign territory for Jewish persons.

Unfortunately, project was never completed and the Nation of Israel remains unconstituted at this time, making its people vulnerable to threats foreign and domestic, but especially from American Evangelicals who continue to try to use the American Government as an instrument of genocide against it.

4 Yea, even asix hundred years from the time that my father left Jerusalem, a bprophet would the Lord God raise up among the cJews—even a dMessiah, or, in other words, a Savior of the world.

600= Vav + Mah "to completely hook" as in twisting or knitting.

600 is also associated with all of the pieces of the Jewish soul coming together after being scattered, 600,000 are the number of words in the Torah, 6000 years are the number of years in an Epoch.

So the "Disparate souls of the Jew shall finally be assembled into one soul at the end of the Epoch" and this shall save the entire world.

5 And he also spake concerning the prophets, how great a number had atestified of these things, concerning this Messiah, of whom he had spoken, or this Redeemer of the world.

=referring to the Baptism of the Lamb; all bloodshed on the planet earth has to stop if the world is to be redeemed:

6 Wherefore, all mankind were in a alost and in a bfallen state, and ever would be save they should rely on this Redeemer.

7 And he spake also concerning a aprophet who should come before the Messiah, to prepare the way of the Lord—

8 Yea, even he should go forth and cry in the wilderness: aPrepare ye the way of the Lord, and make his paths straight; for there standeth one among you whom ye know not; and he is mightier than I, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose. And much spake my father concerning this thing.

9 And my father said he should baptize in aBethabara, beyond Jordan; and he also said he should bbaptize with water; even that he should baptize the Messiah with water.

Beth-Barah= Place Of The Ford House of Purity, House of Food, House of the Covenant.

The noun בית (bayit) means house. It sometimes merely denotes a domestic building, but mostly it denotes the realm of authority of the house-father, or אב (ab). This ab is commonly the living alpha male of a household, but may very well be a founding ancestor (as in the familiar term the "house of Israel"). The אב (ab) may also be a deity, in which case the בית (bayit) is that which we know as a temple.

In the larger economy, a house interacts with other houses. These interactions are governed by the אב (ab), or "father" and executed by the בנים (benim), or "sons": those people living in the house, irrespective of any biological relation with the אב (ab). The "sons" combined add up to אם ('em), which means both "mother" and "tribe".

10 And after he had baptized the Messiah with water, he should behold and bear record that he had baptized the aLamb of God, who should take away the sins of the world.

11 And it came to pass after my father had spoken these words he spake unto my brethren concerning the gospel which should be preached among the Jews, and also concerning the adwindling of the Jews in bunbelief. And after they had cslain the Messiah, who should come, and after he had been slain he should drise from the dead, and should make himself emanifest, by the Holy Ghost, unto the Gentiles.

12 Yea, even my father spake much concerning the Gentiles, and also concerning the house of Israel, that they should be compared like unto an aolive tree, whose bbranches should be broken off and should be cscattered upon all the face of the earth.

13 Wherefore, he said it must needs be that we should be led with one accord into the aland of promise, unto the fulfilling of the word of the Lord, that we should be scattered upon all the face of the earth.

14 And after the house of aIsrael should be scattered they should be bgathered together again; or, in fine, after the cGentiles had received the fulness of the dGospel, the natural branches of the eolive tree, or the fremnants of the house of gIsrael, should be grafted in, or hcome to the knowledge of the true Messiah, their Lord and their Redeemer.

15 And after this manner of language did my father prophesy and speak unto my brethren, and also many more things which I do not write in this book; for I have written as many of them as were expedient for me in mine aother book.

16 And all these things, of which I have spoken, were done as my father dwelt in a atent, in the valley of Lemuel.

17 And it came to pass after I, Nephi, having heard all the awords of my father, concerning the things which he saw in a bvision, and also the things which he spake by the power of the Holy Ghost, which power he received by faith on the Son of God—and the Son of God was the cMessiah who should come—I, Nephi, was ddesirous also that I might see, and hear, and know of these things, by the power of the eHoly Ghost, which is the fgift of God unto gall those who diligently seek him, as well in times of hold as in the time that he should manifest himself unto the children of men.

18 For he is the asame yesterday, today, and forever; and the way is prepared for all men from the foundation of the world, if it so be that they repent and come unto him.

19 For he that diligently aseeketh shall find; and the bmysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the cHoly Ghost, as well in these times as in times of old, and as well in times of old as in times to come; wherefore, the dcourse of the Lord is one eternal round.

20 Therefore remember, O man, for all thy doings thou shalt be brought into ajudgment.

21 Wherefore, if ye have sought to do awickedly in the days of your bprobation, then ye are found cunclean before the judgment-seat of God; and no unclean thing can dwell with God; wherefore, ye must be cast off forever.

22 And the Holy Ghost giveth aauthority that I should speak these things, and deny them not.

This is the first discussion of the fact the world is apostate- reading books and praying and performing sacraments but also engaging in widespread violence and guilty things. The more this happens, the more "redemption is needed" "as well as in old times as in the new."

The New Book written in the Voice of God in the Valley, as you can now see was filled with incredible hope the future would be different.

As we will see in the course of our analysis, the ideas associated with a Son of God etc. did not work out; not for the Jewish people or for His other patrons.

The Prophet says this is because our liturgical and practical assumptions about the crucifixion, resurrection and beatification of Jesus Christ are inherently flawed.

Fear not, he proceeds to suggest brilliant ways the dissonance between God and man over what happened between us and the Son of Man can finally come to an end.

The Name “Iyar” is of Babylonian origin. The older Biblical or Canaanite name is “Ziv” as it is related in 1 Kings 6:1; “in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, (the second month), that he began to build the house of the LORD.” (KJV2000). This is the month of ‘Shining or Blossoming.’ Iyar always has 29 days.

Iyar is related to the Hebrew word for light, “ohr.” Midrash explains that it was named for the manna which began to fall during Iyar, a month after the Jews left Egypt. The manna was given with divine radiance.

The Akkadian equivalent of Iyar, Ayyāru, means flower.

Iyar is the eighth month of the civil year and the second month of the ecclesiastical or spiritual year in the Jewish calendar. Iyar is between Passover and Shavuot (Pentecost). The Hebrew symbol represented by this month is ‘VAV’ meaning ‘linking’ or ‘connection, to connect.’ This is the month to establish a deeper link or connection with God in order to establish or determine the course of the year.

Iyar - A Crucial Month

A month of healing.

It was in Iyar that God first revealed Himself as Healer.

A month to understand God’s secrets.

Iyar is a month of transition. This was the month the Israelites journeyed from Egypt to Mount Sinai. For the Israelites this was more than just transitioning. This was a drastic geographical change. They had never been this way before. God was transitioning them into a new level. This was about establishing a relationship, a connection and a link with God. This was a transition from ‘Redemption’ (Passover) to the experience of God’s supernatural provision ‘Pentecost.’

The month of Iyyar falls between the great month of redemption (i.e.,Nisan) and the great month of revelation (Sivan), and is therefore primarily commemorated as a "month of passage" leading up to the awesome revelation given at Sinai (mattan Torah).

Later, the agricultural aspect of this "passage" was enshrined in terms of Sefirat HaOmer or the "counting the sheaves," when a sheaf of barley was waved before thealtar each day for 49 days before the arrival of the climactic holiday of Shavuot (Lev. 23:15-16).

Special Dates

Apr 25, 2023 – Memorial Day – יום הזיכרון (Yom Hazikaron)

May 5, 2023 – Pesach Sheni

Iyar 14 - Pesach Sheni, the second Pesach, is a mandated make-up day for those who could not bring   the paschal sacrifice at its appointed time.

May 19, 2023 – Jerusalem Day – יום ירושלים

Iyar 28 – Jerusalem Day celebrates the liberation of Jerusalem during the Six-Day War.

The Spring Month of Iyar is Associated with Issachar

Iyar falls in the spring season – Nissan - Mar/Apr, Iyar - Apr/May, Sivan - May/Jun – correspond to the three tribes of the camp of Judah – Judah, Issachar and Zebulun who were situated to the east of the Tabernacle in the wilderness. These three tribes were the first group to lead out onto the battlefield before the rest of the tribes of Israel.

Issachar comes from the Hebrew ‘Yissakar’ meaning ‘he will bring a reward.’ (See Genesis 30:18). The root word is ‘nasa’ meaning to lift, to advance arise, bring forth, carry away, lofty. The second root word means payment of contract, salary, fare, hire, price, reward and wages.

Revelations 22:12 reads; “And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”

Issachar’s symbol is the donkey

Genesis 49:14-15; “Issachar is a strong donkey crouching down between two burdens: And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto forced labor.”

Issachar is an astronomical configuration here shown by the sun surrounded by stars. Issachar was to give Israel knowledge of the times (1-Chronicles 12:32). This is understood to mean astronomical reckonings. They were the burden bearers for both theirs and others. God gave them an inbuilt strength. The donkey is a beast of burden, the humble vehicle chosen by Yeshua to bring Himself into Jerusalem. Issachar was the carrier of the cross of Yeshua.

Zechariah 9:9 “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, your King comes unto you: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon a donkey, and upon a colt the foal of a donkey.”

The symbol of Issachar is the humble donkey. But also the sign of a sun shining at noon day surrounded by four stars to the left that shine out of a dark night and four to the right that are darkened because of the brightness of the day. This is a picture of outer space with the heavenly bodies in plain view. This is a significant symbol for Issachar, whose name is derived from the root-word ‘nasa,’ which means "to lift up, high, lofty, etc."

In the month of Nissan – God wants to reconfirm your Covenant with Him/Passover

In the month of Iyar – God desires to reveal the secrets of His Covenant

In the month of Sivan - God wants to bring you into a whole new level of Pentecost.

May the Lord bless you and keep you; Shalom

Are you prepared for Battle?

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:10-12, NASB)

At the time of this writing, many living in Israel are breathing a sigh of relief because a cease-fire agreement recently took effect between Israel and Palestine militants in Gaza. We Christians believe that lasting peace will only come to the world when Yeshua (Jesus), the Prince of Peace, reigns from Jerusalem. The prophet Isaiah foretold this coming Messianic era when he wrote, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and peace, there will be no end” (Isaiah 9:6-7, NIV). We yearn for a time of continuous peace and righteousness. While awaiting the time of the Messianic kingdom, how can we successfully navigate life in these unsettling times of increasing conflict and malicious deceit?

When people anticipate war, they prepare by stockpiling food, water, medicines, and other necessities. They fortify their borders or homes, plan escape routes, and locate safe places. A nation may increase surveillance, escalate training for soldiers, and evaluate its weaponry. Both situations are ways to prepare for physical warfare. However, I am writing to prayer warriors who understand that at the root of every conflict or war there are spiritual forces of evil propelling the hostility. In Ephesians 6:10-12, Apostle Paul explained to the Ephesian congregation that their battle was not against human beings but “against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” He stated that our ability to stand against the devil’s tactics requires us to use spiritual weaponry, or as he stated, “the full armor of God.” In essence, Paul was telling us that spiritual battles cannot be successfully fought with natural weapons.

Intercessors, you play a vital role in these difficult times. You must resist the devil, warn others, and rescue those in despair. How can we prepare for the heightened spiritual battles that loom on the horizon? In Ephesians 6, Paul also instructed us to grow spiritually strong by being united with the Lord “in the strength of His might.”

We cannot allow the world’s distractions and deceptions to cause us to lose focus or be out of alignment with God. We can only win battles when we are spiritually unified with Him. Now is the time to build stamina for spiritual warfare by asking God to search our hearts. King David wrote this heartfelt plea: “Search me, God, and know my heart; put me to the test and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any hurtful way in me and lead me in the everlasting way” (Psalms 139:23-24, NASB).

The Jewish High Holy Days of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur are approaching. This is a 10-day period of in-depth soul searching and repentance observed by many Jewish people. It would be beneficial for all of us to ask God to examine our thoughts, motives, and decisions every day. We sometimes do not want to look at our weaknesses and fears, but now is the time to do so before more intense spiritual warfare commences. We do not want the devil to gain any foothold in our lives to use against us. As the Holy Spirit exposes our hearts, we must turn from sinful ways, and allow God to give us more of His thoughts and ways. 1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, He [God] is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” As we spend time in God’s presence, He will purify and empower us for spiritual warfare, enabling us to hear His voice and receive strategies for the battles ahead.

Praying for Battle-Readiness 

Bless the Lord for His great power and strength! He is Lord of Armies! There is none more powerful than our God. “Who is this King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in battle. Who is He, this King of glory? The Lord of Hosts, He is the King of glory” (Psalm 24:8, 10, HCSB).

Praise God for His eternal commitment to Israel. We thank Him for His protection in the recent battle in Gaza. “As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds His people from this time and forever” (Psalm 125:2, NASB). 

Pray that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will be alert and discerning as they monitor the nation’s borders, airways, and waterways. We thank God for blessing Israel to design state-of-the-art military equipment. Let us pray that they will put their confidence in the God of Israel, and not in their weaponry or highly trained army. “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God” (Psalm 20:7, KJV). “Unless the Lord watches over a city, the watchman stays alert in vain” (Psalm 127:1, HCSB). 

Beseech the Lord for Israel’s government as the nation moves toward elections. Ask God to move people He has chosen into government positions who will honor His word, even if those people have not been prominent in the political arena. “Exaltation does not come from the east, the west, or the desert, for God is the Judge: He brings down one and exalts another” (Psalm 75:6-7, HCSB). “Those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me will be insignificant” (1 Samuel 2:30, NASB).   

Intercede for the Jewish people in the nations where God is beckoning them to “come home” to Israel. “See, I will bring them from the land of the north and gather them from the ends of the earth. Among them will be the blind and the lame, expectant mothers and women in labor; a great throng will return” (Jeremiah 31:8, NIV). Intercessors, please pray for God to unblock hindrances and mindsets that are keeping His People from ‘making aliyah’ (immigrating), whether the obstacles are finances, governmental policies, lack of documents, fear, or comfort. 

To our Dear Prayer Warriors:

David, the mighty warrior and King, spent much time in the presence of the Lord. He wrote, “God is my strength and protection; he makes my way go straight. He makes me swift and sure-footed as a deer and enables me to stand on my high places. He trains my hands for war until my arms can bend a bow of bronze” (2 Samuel 22:33-34, CJB). Just as the Lord taught David to war skillfully in the physical realm, He wants to teach us how to battle more effectively in the spiritual realm. To do this, we must spend time in His presence because time spent in His Presence is of great value in knowing His heart and receiving strategies for war.

May the strength of the Lord be upon you.

Shalom
