PRAYER JOURNAL - A WARNING ABOUT DISCERNMENT & WHERE TO KEEP YOUR FOCUS!

I saw what looked beautiful, thought it was possibly Jesus again .. but it was deceitfully alluring. Interesting, it appeared with a lion’s face .. further investigation revealed it is a tall bearded man with demons behind his eyes 👀👀 .. ⚠️ THIS IS A WARNING ABOUT DISCERNMENT AND WHERE TO PLACE YOUR FOCUS‼️

THE TIMESTAMP ON THE VIDEO IS 7:07 👉🏻 EZEKIEL 7:7 NASB1995 (including 5-19) Thus says the Lord God, ‘A disaster, unique disaster, behold it is coming! An end is coming; the end has come! It has awakened against you; behold, it has come! Your doom has come to you, O inhabitant of the land. The time has come, the day is near—tumult rather than joyful shouting on the mountains. Now I will shortly pour out My wrath on you and spend My anger against you; judge you according to your ways and bring on you all your abominations. My eye will show no pity nor will I spare. I will repay you according to your ways, while your abominations are in your midst; then you will know that I, the Lord, do the smiting. ‘Behold, the day! Behold, it is coming! Your doom has gone forth; the rod has budded, arrogance has blossomed. Violence has grown into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, none of their people, none of their wealth, nor anything eminent among them. The time has come, the day has arrived. Let not the buyer rejoice nor the seller mourn; for wrath is against all their multitude. Indeed, the seller will not regain what he sold as long as they both live; for the vision regarding all their multitude will not be averted, nor will any of them maintain his life by his iniquity. ‘They have blown the trumpet and made everything ready, but no one is going to the battle, for My wrath is against all their multitude. The sword is outside and the plague and the famine are within. He who is in the field will die by the sword; famine and the plague will also consume those in the city. Even when their survivors escape, they will be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, each over his own iniquity. All hands will hang limp and all knees will become like water. They will gird themselves with sackcloth and shuddering will overwhelm them; and shame will be on all faces and baldness on all their heads. They will fling their silver into the streets and their gold will become an abhorrent thing; their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord. They cannot satisfy their appetite nor can they fill their stomachs, for their iniquity has become an occasion of stumbling.

THE IMAGE NUMBER ON THE VIDEO IS 3164 👉🏻GREEK 3164👉🏻 machomai 👉🏻 to war, to fight

Engaging in conflict—whether physical, verbal, or ideological.

I TOOK 2 STILL SHOTS OF THE VIDEO .. ONE IS COLORED AND THE OTHER IS BLACK AND WHITE.

THE COLORED IMAGE NUMBER IS 3180 👉🏻 GREEK 3180 👉🏻 methodeia 👉🏻 wile, lie in wait, schemes, scheming, trickery

The deliberate, systematic strategies by which Satan and his agents attempt to deceive, mislead, and ultimately ruin souls. The term describes not a random temptation but a calculated plan designed to neutralize faith, distort doctrine, and undermine obedience.

Ephesians 6:11 – “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes.”

Ephesians 4 connects the Church’s maturity with her ability to resist doctrinal drift. “Every wind of teaching” is propelled by “deceitful scheming,” revealing that error is neither innocent nor passive. It is planned. False teachers exploit immaturity, appealing to novelty or cultural fashion to pull believers away from “the faith that was once for all delivered” (Jude 1:3).

Ephesians 6:11 broadens the scope to all believers. The “full armor of God” is prescribed precisely because the enemy’s attack is methodical. The phrase indicates the devil does not merely present isolated temptations but crafts long-term campaigns. Peter echoes this vigilance: “Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” (1 Peter 5:8)

THAT IS THE LION I SAW. 

IT WASN’T THE LION OF JUDAH. 

IT WAS THE DEVOURER.

THE BLACK AND WHITE IMAGE NUMBER IS 3182 👉🏻 HEBREW 3182 👉🏻 yacheph 👉🏻 barefoot, unshod

A vivid metaphor for vulnerability, mourning, judgment, and humility.

Grief over Sin and Consequence: David’s barefoot ascent encapsulates repentance and sorrow (cf. Psalm 51). His exposed feet mirror his exposed heart—stripped of royal trappings and casting himself upon God’s mercy.

Bare feet symbolize relinquishing self-reliance. As sandals absorb the heat of the ground, so worldly securities buffer the soul from feeling its need. Removal of sandals forces immediate contact with reality—physical and spiritual.

True security is found only in covenant faithfulness to the LORD.

THE TIMESTAMP ON THE COLORED STILL SHOT IS 7:22 👉🏻 MIRROR 22:7 👉🏻 REVELATION 22:7 NASB1995 (including 1-7)“Then he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb, in the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve Him; they will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. And there will no longer be any night; and they will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will reign forever and ever. And he said to me, “These words are faithful and true”; and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent His angel to show to His bond-servants the things which must soon take place. “And behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book.”

7:22 IS ALSO GREEK 722 👉🏻 arotriaó 👉🏻 to plow

Isaiah 2:4 envisions nations beating “their swords into plowshares,” the ultimate transformation of instruments of death into tools of cultivation.

THE TIMESTAMP ON THE BLACK AND WHITE PHOTO IS 7:23 👉🏻 GREEK 723 👉🏻 arotron 👉🏻 plow

A symbol of labor, preparation, and commitment.

Luke 9 records a series of would-be followers approaching Jesus. To one who desired to look back before committing fully, Jesus answered, “Then Jesus declared, ‘No one who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.’” (Luke 9:62). Here the plow functions as an emblem of single-minded discipleship. The imagery is striking: the kingdom furrow is being cut and the Master calls for unwavering focus. Looking back signals divided loyalty and renders the worker ineffective for kingdom purposes.

Whole-hearted devotion. Just as the farmer must keep both eyes ahead, believers are exhorted to press on without distraction (Philippians 3:13-14; Hebrews 12:1-2).

Cost of discipleship. The saying follows calls to abandon comfort and familial obligations (Luke 9:57-61). Plowing imagery reinforces that following Christ is not an add-on but an all-consuming vocation.

Prepared soil for divine seed. The plow breaks fallow ground (Jeremiah 4:3) so that the word may take root (Luke 8:11-15). Human hearts, like fields, require Spirit-wrought preparation before fruitfulness appears.

Eschatological fitness. “Fit for the kingdom” points to final evaluation; fidelity in present labor bears on future inheritance (1 Corinthians 3:8-15).

A vivid window into the Farmer-King’s expectations: undivided focus, patient endurance, and forward-looking faith.

I ALSO TOOK A STILL SHOT OF THE LION — I SEE A LION LOOKING LEFT AND A FACE LOOKING RIGHT. I ALSO SEE A DARKER FACE TO THE LEFT — A MAN WHO IS BOTH UPSIDE UP AND INVERTED UPSIDE DOWN 👀

THE IMAGE NUMBER ON THAT PHOTO IS 3171 👉🏻 GREEK 3171 👉🏻 megalós 👉🏻 greatly

Joy “in the Lord,” in covenant relationship rather than circumstance.

Joy that is overflowing.

“Great rejoicing” in response to divine deliverance (Nehemiah 12:43; Psalm 21:1).

THE TIMESTAMP ON THAT PHOTO IS 7:08 👉🏻 PSALM 78 AMP .. RECOUNTS ALL THE WAYS GOD HAS DELIVERED HIS PEOPLE DESPITE THEIR UNFAITHFULNESS TO HIM ..  “Listen, O my people, to my teaching; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth [and be willing to learn]. I will open my mouth in a parable [to instruct using examples]; I will utter dark and puzzling sayings of old [that contain important truth]— [Matt 13:34, 35] Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children, But [we will] tell to the generation to come the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, And [tell of] His great might and power and the wonderful works that He has done. ¶For He established a testimony (a specific precept) in Jacob And appointed a law in Israel, Which He commanded our fathers That they should teach to their children [the great facts of God’s transactions with Israel], That the generation to come might know them, that the children still to be born May arise and recount them to their children, That they should place their confidence in God And not forget the works of God, But keep His commandments, And not be like their fathers— A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that did not prepare its heart to know and follow God, And whose spirit was not faithful to God. ¶The sons of Ephraim were armed as archers and carrying bows, Yet they turned back in the day of battle. They did not keep the covenant of God And refused to walk according to His law; And they forgot His [incredible] works And His miraculous wonders that He had shown them. He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan [where Pharaoh resided]. He divided the [Red] Sea and allowed them to pass through it, And He made the waters stand up like [water behind] a dam. [Ex 14:22] In the daytime He led them with a cloud And all the night with a light of fire. [Ex 13:21; 14:24] He split rocks in the wilderness And gave them abundant [water to] drink like the ocean depths. He brought streams also from the rock [at Rephidim and Kadesh] And caused waters to run down like rivers. [Ex 17:6; Num 20:11] ¶Yet they still continued to sin against Him By rebelling against the Most High in the desert. And in their hearts they put God to the test By asking for food according to their [selfish] appetite. Then they spoke against God; They said, “Can God prepare [food for] a table in the wilderness? “Behold, He struck the rock so that waters gushed out And the streams overflowed; Can He give bread also? Or will He provide meat for His people?” ¶Therefore, when the Lord heard, He was full of wrath; A fire was kindled against Jacob, And His anger mounted up against Israel, Because they did not believe in God [they did not rely on Him, they did not adhere to Him], And they did not trust in His salvation (His power to save). Yet He commanded the clouds from above And opened the doors of heaven; And He rained down manna upon them to eat And gave them the grain of heaven. [Ex 16:14; John 6:31] Man ate the bread of angels; God sent them provision in abundance. He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens And by His [unlimited] power He guided the south wind. He rained meat upon them like the dust, And winged birds (quail) like the sand of the seas. [Num 11:31] And He let them fall in the midst of their camp, Around their tents. So they ate and were well filled, He gave them what they craved. Before they had satisfied their desire, And while their food was in their mouths, [Num 11:33] The wrath of God rose against them And killed some of the strongest of them, And subdued the choice young men of Israel. In spite of all this they still sinned, For they did not believe in His wonderful and extraordinary works. Therefore He consumed their days like a breath [in emptiness and futility] And their years in sudden terror. ¶When He killed [some of] them, then those remaining sought Him, And they returned [to Him] and searched diligently for God [for a time]. And they remembered that God was their rock, And the Most High God their Redeemer. Nevertheless they flattered Him with their mouths And lied to Him with their tongues. For their heart was not steadfast toward Him, Nor were they faithful to His covenant. [Acts 8:21] But He, the source of compassion and lovingkindness, forgave their wickedness and did not destroy them; Many times He restrained His anger And did not stir up all His wrath. For He [graciously] remembered that they were mere [human] flesh, A wind that goes and does not return. ¶How often they rebelled against Him in the wilderness And grieved Him in the desert! Again and again they tempted God, And distressed the Holy One of Israel. They did not remember [the miracles worked by] His [powerful] hand, Nor the day when He redeemed them from the enemy, How He worked His miracles in Egypt And His wonders in the field of Zoan [where Pharaoh resided], And turned their rivers into blood, And their streams, so that they could not drink. He sent among them swarms of flies which devoured them, And frogs which destroyed them. He also gave their crops to the grasshopper, And the fruit of their labor to the locust. He destroyed their vines with [great] hailstones And their sycamore trees with frost. He gave over their cattle also to the hailstones, And their flocks and herds to thunderbolts. [Ex 9:18-21] He sent upon them His burning anger, [Ex 12:23] His fury and indignation and distress, A band of angels of destruction [among them]. He leveled a path for His anger [to give it free run]; He did not spare their souls from death, But turned over their lives to the plague. He killed all the firstborn in Egypt, The first and best of their strength in the tents [of the land of the sons] of Ham. But God led His own people forward like sheep And guided them in the wilderness like [a good shepherd with] a flock. He led them safely, so that they did not fear; But the sea engulfed their enemies. [Ex 14:27, 28]  ¶So He brought them to His holy land, To this mountain [Zion] which His right hand had acquired. He also drove out the nations before the sons of Israel And allotted their land as an inheritance, measured out and partitioned; And He had the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents [the tents of those who had been dispossessed]. Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God And did not keep His testimonies (laws). They turned back and acted unfaithfully like their fathers; They were twisted like a warped bow [that will not respond to the archer’s aim]. For they provoked Him to [righteous] anger with their high places [devoted to idol worship] And moved Him to jealousy with their carved images [by denying Him the love, worship, and obedience that is rightfully and uniquely His]. When God heard this, He was filled with [righteous] wrath; And utterly rejected Israel, [greatly hating her ways], So that He abandoned the tabernacle at Shiloh, The tent in which He had dwelled among men, And gave up His strength and power (the ark of the covenant) into captivity, And His glory into the hand of the enemy (the Philistines). [1 Sam 4:21] He also handed His people over to the sword, And was infuriated with His inheritance (Israel). [1 Sam 4:10] The fire [of war] devoured His young men, And His [bereaved] virgins had no wedding songs. His priests [Hophni and Phinehas] fell by the sword, And His widows could not weep. [1 Sam 4:11, 19, 20] ¶Then the Lord awakened as from sleep, Like a [mighty] warrior who awakens from the sleep of wine [fully conscious of his power]. He drove His enemies backward; He subjected them to lasting shame and dishonor. Moreover, He rejected the tent of Joseph, And did not choose the tribe of Ephraim [in which the tabernacle stood]. But He chose the tribe of Judah [as Israel’s leader], Mount Zion, which He loved [to replace Shiloh as His capital]. And He built His sanctuary [exalted] like the heights [of the heavens], Like the earth which He has established forever. He also chose David His servant And took him from the sheepfolds; [1 Sam 16:11, 12] From tending the ewes with nursing young He brought him To shepherd Jacob His people, And Israel His inheritance. [2 Sam 7:7, 8] So David shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart; And guided them with his skillful hands.”

PLOWING: To keep furrows or paths straight when plowing, look at a fixed target at the far end of the field or run instead of turning around to look behind you.

Why Looking Straight Ahead Matters:

• Looking back at the plow causes your hands to steer the tractor or vehicle off course, creating a wavy or crooked line.
• Pick a distant, stationary object like a tree, fence post, or building edge to steer toward .. KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS. 
• Let the implement track naturally once you set your alignment (ON JESUS) and draft controls.

Fixing Crooked Lines and Drift:

• Correct early: If you start forming a curve, back up to the exact spot where the line began to veer off, drop the blade back in, and draw a fresh straight line (REFOCUS ON JESUS).
• Check equipment alignment: Misaligned landslides or uneven three-point hitch adjustments can cause a farm moldboard plow to pull sideways into the land.

LET HIM WHO HAS EARS HEAR.

BLOGGER NOTED THE TIME I STARTED THIS POST WAS 6:46 👉🏻 LUKE 6:46 AMP (including 46-49) “Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not practice what I tell you? Everyone who comes to Me and listens to My words and obeys them, I will show you whom he is like: [Matt 7:24-27] he is like a [far-sighted, practical, and sensible] man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and yet could not shake it, because it had been securely built and founded on the rock. But the one who has [merely] heard and has not practiced [what I say], is like a [foolish] man who built a house on the ground without any foundation, and the torrent burst against it; and it immediately collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great.”

"If you openly declare Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.”

Romans 10:9-11
