PRAYER - "Pray with the Spirit"
Paul prayed in unknown tongues, and gladly admitted it. He taught that we should pray as best we can understand in our native tongue. But he also acknowledged that sometimes our prayer needs exceed our understanding. That is when we should enter into the Spirit and pray as God gives the utterance. The Spirit makes intercession in ways we cannot know how to do, even though we earnestly groan or cry.

Land map of Modern Ninevah |
"PRINCIPALS - "Asshur
Asshur was a person, a city (later called Nineveh), and the ancient Assyrian empire. Its founders came from Babel and Nimrod, who grievously turned their backs on the God of their forefather, Noah. They worshipped the goddess Ishtar. Assyria eventually became a vicious foe of Israel for centuries. Mosul, Iraq, is now the center of that region, sandwiched between Damascus, Syria and Tehran, Iran. These modern Assyrians are prophetically doomed. In Isaiah 14:25, God swore to destroy the Assyrian on His holy mount at Armageddon.
Genesis 10:11 - "Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh."

PRINCIPLES - "The Power of One"
Jochebed was only one person, but salvation for all humanity hung by a thread on her actions. If she had not saved baby Moses, the world would never have heard of Abraham, Isaac or Jacob. The power of one is inestimable. We are indebted to many "ones". Don't YOU fail!
Exodus 2:3 - "...when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink." Let's read the story. Bible
PROPHECIES - "The Fall of Babel"
Nimrod spearheaded the project at the tower of Babel. Their purposes were ambitious: reach heaven, make a name for themselves, prevent being scattered abroad. Sounds like the devil's dream, too. But all the purposes of men will be disappointed. All man-made kingdoms will fall to the Kingdom of Jesus Christ at Armageddon.
Genesis 11:4 - "And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth."
