God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, The God who has fed me all my life long to this day,
16. The Angel who has redeemed me from all evil, Bless the lads;
Let my name be named upon them,
And the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac;
And let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
17. Now when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him; so he took hold of his fathers hand to remove it from Ephraims head to Manassehs head. 18. And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father, for this one is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head. 19. But his father refused and said, I know, my son, I know. He also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his descendants shall become a multitude of nations. 20. So he blessed them that day, saying, By you Israel will bless, saying, May God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh! And thus he set Ephraim before Manasseh. 21. Then Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I am dying, but God will be with you and bring you back to the land of your fathers. 22. Moreover I have given to you one portion above your brothers, which I took from the hand of the Amorite with my sword and my bow.
How Wonderful You Are, Dear Father!
I am Overwhelmed By Your Glory!
Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
If I say, Surely the darkness shall fall on me,
Even the night shall be light about me;
Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You
Nothing Happens without Your Notice, Abba.
You know How many hairs are on my head,
How many cells in my body.
Nothing is Impossible for You.
Once Again we are puzzled by the actions of The Patriarch Jacob.
Even the Wise and practical Joseph was a bit annoyed by his father,
Blessing his sons in reverse order of their birth!
But over a half millennium later,
When the Tribes are allotted their portions in the Promised Land,
We shall see why Jacob blessed Ephraim First.
Manasseh and Ephraim become "Half-Tribes" under the banner of Joseph.
No other grandsons of Jacob are given this honor.
Joseph is Truly Blessed!
How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
If I should count them,
they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.
Let those who hate Zion be turned back,
According to Your Word, Oh LORD.
Let The Enemies of The Truth be Put To Confusion and Shame,
According To The Will and promises of The LORD.
Keep My Heart Pure Toward You, Oh God,
That I May Always Be In Your Will.
Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.
Hallelujah and Amen

Psalm 21:9 Thy hand shall be equal to all thine enemies; thy right hand shall overtake those that hate thee
Let those who hate Zion be turned back, According to Your Word, Oh LORD. Let The Enemies of The Truth be Put To Confusion and Shame, According To The Will and promises of The LORD.
Dear LORD, today I pray for the CHURCH. To even think we can count churches as one of the enemies of Israel goes beyond reason. One cannot look at the PROMISES YOU made and the COVENANTS YOU SET with the Nation Israel and YOUR PEOPLE and say this is not TRUTH. OH LORD, wake up the churches whose desire is to replace Israel with themselves as if SALVATION does not belong to the Jew first, and then the Gentile. That is the shame and there is the confusion .14 For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility 15 by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, 16 and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. Dear LORD, may we join hearts and Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem, mindful and looking up for YOUR RETURN to usher in the ETERNAL PEACE..Amen. Dear LORD, as my church begins to study the end times I pray that our leaders will not exclude YOUR PEOPLE and the Promises YOU have made to save .To GOD be the GLORY know and forever more..Amen
Amen
Prayers up for Mesta Machine and her complete healing .
Happy Resurrection Day
Amen to all your prayer.
