Welcome the Month of Av 5783. Receive these keys for the Month of Av.
Colossians 2:6-8 contains keys to unlock our ability to overflow, it also contains a warning. Abba always intended for each of us to minister to others out of the overflow. Yeshua (Jesus) is our portion. As we live our lives rooted in Him, continuing to be built up in Him and confirmed in our trust in Him as we have been taught. Then we overflow in thanksgiving. Then we can minister to others out of the overflow. Not out of our portion, thereby depleting ourselves.
Have you ever been so thankful to Abba that you literally could not contain it? You had to go testify of His Goodness? Testifying is ministering out of your overflow.
Colossians 2:8 gives us a warning though.. watch out, so that no one will take you captive by means of philosophy and empty deceit, following human tradition which accords with the elemental spirits of the world but does not accord with the Messiah.
We have been given keys to overflowing today. Remaining deeply rooted in Yeshua (Jesus). Being warned not to be taken captive by the spirits or philosophy of this world (doctrines of devils).
Abba, we come before You today and repent for ever being taken captive by anything worldly. Forgive us in Yeshua’s Name. Our desire is to be so deeply rooted in Yeshua (Jesus), continually living our lives United with Him. We submit ourselves today, resisting the devil, knowing that as we submit, the devil will flee from us according to Your Word in James 4:7.
Abba, fill each of us to overflowing with Your Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit), He IS The Key to all that we need. Help each of us minister to the lost out of the overflow. Lead, guard, protect and provide for us along Your well lit path for our lives. Lay Your plumbline as a boundary for each of us. We will not step out of the boundary You lay for us. In Yeshua’s Name. Amen
Colossians 2:6-8 CJB
6 Therefore, just as you received the Messiah Yeshua as Lord, keep living your life united with him. 7 Remain deeply rooted in him; continue being built up in him and confirmed in your trust, the way you were taught, so that you overflow in thanksgiving.
8 Watch out, so that no one will take you captive by means of philosophy and empty deceit, following human tradition which accords with the elemental spirits of the world but does not accord with the Messiah.
Blessings & Shalom – Love Beyond Measure, Beth Auman
