Night 17 - God's Glory Has Our Back!

^{Isaiah 58: 6-9}

⁶ “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice
   and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
   and break every yoke?
⁷ Is it not to share your food with the hungry
   and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—
when you see the naked, to clothe them,
   and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
⁸ Then your light will break forth like the dawn,
   and your healing will quickly appear;
then your righteousness^[a] will go before you,
   and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.
⁹ Then you will call, and the LORD will answer;
   you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I. 

We are headed into our 18th day of fasting and worshipping God.  We're not fasting for our glory, we're fasting for the glory of the Lord.  God says if we join Him in this kind of fast, He will be our rear guard.

God's got our back!  When the Body of Christ, the Church, moves forward, the glory of the Lord follows them to protect them all from the enemy who pursues.

So, get in the glory and let the Lord be your rearguard!

How do we get in the glory?

Psalm 34:3, 7 

O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. ... (then) ... ⁷ God's angel sets up a circle
   of protection around us while we pray.

This is what we are doing through UR120 and this is just one of the benefits of praising His Name!
