Revelation of Word:

THEME: BALM OF GILEAD

Jeremiah 51:6-8 NIV

“Flee from Babylon! Run for your lives! Do not be destroyed because of her sins. It is time for the Lord’s vengeance; he will repay her what she deserves. Babylon was a gold cup in the Lord’s hand; she made the whole earth drunk. The nations drank her wine; therefore they have now gone mad. Babylon will suddenly fall and be broken. Wail over her! Get balm for her pain; perhaps she can be healed.”

INSIGHT

–The Babylonian systems have corrupted the nations with its evil and deceptive schemes, although it occurs to be a giant. In Revelation 14:8 we find the angel declaring of the fall of Babylon that made all nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries. Revelation 18:2-3 continues to state that Babylon has fallen for it is the dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, every unclean bird, and every unclean and detestable animal. It has made all the nations be drunk with maddening wine of her adulteries and the kings of the earth have committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grown rich from her excessive luxuries. Babylon is a demonic scheme geared to destroy the young and the old, poor and rich, weak and mighty alike with drunkenness, sexual immorality and corruption. The foundation of drug and alcohol addiction and abuse is founded in the Babylonian systems. Lemuel is cautioned by the mother in Proverbs 31:3-7, that he should not waste his strength with women nor be drunk with wine for beer is not for kings but for those who are perishing. The schemes of sexual impurity extending to LGBTQ originates from Babylon and the love of money and its consequences developing from Babylonian schemes. In Matthew 6:24, Jesus made it clear that we cannot serve two masters, either we hate one and love the other, or we are devoted to one and despise the other for we cannot serve both God and money. We are therefore called to flee from the devil and his scheme’s and he will flee from us, for his ways only lead to eternal destruction as Babylon must fall, but when we follow Christ and His word, we obtain healing by the balm of Gilead which is the way to eternal life.

PRAYER

You are Great dear Lord Jesus and greatly to be praised. Yours Lord is the greatness, power, glory, majesty and splendor, for everything in heaven and in earth are Yours. Yours, Lord is the kingdom and You are exalted as head over all. Wealth and honor come from You dear Lord Jesus. You are the ruler of all things and in Your hands is strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. We give You all our thanksgiving and praise and glorify Your name. May You save us, our children, families, communities, churches, government and nation from the Babylonian schemes dear Lord Jesus. May You save us from the schemes of the devil who comes only to kill, steal and destroy. We come against every plan of the enemy in our lives, families and nation and cover ourselves with the blood of Jesus and hedge of fire of the Holy Spirit. Our children will not be destroyed by the Babylonian systems of drug and alcohol abuse, sexual immorality, theft and corruption but they shall be strong in the Lord. We are the blessed of the Lord and we shall enjoy the good of the land. Salvation is our portion together with our generations in Jesus name. We declare that goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives and we shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever and ever. Amen
