How can you expect God to answer your prayers if we don't have a relationship wit Him, except when we're in trouble? Finally, God is more interested in character building than he is in just seeing us enjoying a worldly life.

Show us that nothing is an obstacle, but that everything--temperment, situations in life--are materials for prayer and sacrifice the world so desperately needs. Give us generosity and courage, O Lord, to use them as You wish.

Calvary Today: A Great Present For Jesus
Christians have struggled with the flesh since the early apostles walked the dusty roads of Jerusalem, hence the Bible states, "The spirit is indeed willing, but the flesh is weak" (Matthew 26:41b KJV). How do you overcome the flesh to unlock God's perfect plan for your life? Can you overcome the works of the flesh in your own strength? Not hardly. But before we role up our spiritual sleeves to tackle this question of how to unlock God's perfect plan for your life, let's first define what the flesh is. The following fictitious story gives you an illustrative definition of your enemy, the flesh.
John was cruising in his Corvette convertible along the California coastline enjoying the sunset as seagulls darted and glided over breaking waves when he glanced in his rearview mirror and saw him. A man in an older Mercedes was tailgating him. John couldn't pull over to the right lane, it was under construction, nor would he speed up and get a ticket, even though the road construction would make it almost impossible for a policeman to give him a ticket. But he wasn't going to take any chances and this aggressive driver would just have to back off or go around. However, he didn't back off or go around, but continued to tailgate John.
"What's his problem? Go around!" yelled John.
There was no reason for him not to go around John because there were no oncoming cars in view. But the man continued to tailgate and began blowing his horn. This was John's day off and he was not going to let this obnoxious driver ruin his day. Surely he would give up and go around, but instead he began to tailgate John even closer, still blaring his horn.
"Idiot! Back off!" screamed John.
Finally, the antagonist gunned his engine and proceeded to go around. John got ready to really let him have it when suddenly a thought flashed across his mind, "love and forgive." He had heard that voice before and knew to love and forgive this man would be the right thing to do, but it wasn't going to happen. With great fury, John verbally blasted the insolent driver as the man drove past and sped away, exhaust smoke trailing behind.
Afterward, John turned his attention back to the coastline with its sea birds, breaking waves and sunset, but it just wasn't the same. The End
That, my friend, is the flesh, John's carnal desires expressed contrary to the will of God. Now that you have some understanding of what the flesh is, let's see how you can overcome the flesh to unlock God's perfect plan for your life.
To overcome the flesh (Galatians 5:16-21), you will need something very powerful, supernatural. You will need the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 8:26-27 says:
"Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities (weaknesses): for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God"
What is this scripture talking about? It is talking about you praying in tongues and allowing the Holy Spirit to pray the perfect prayer through you to your Heavenly Father. What is the perfect prayer the Holy Spirit prays for you? He prays for any weaknesses you might have which would hinder God's perfect plan for your life. This Holy Spirit intercession helps you to overcome the works of the flesh so you can fulfill the divine destiny God has ordained for your life.
How often should you pray in tongues? As often as you like. The more the better. Remember, you are praying in tongues to overcome the works of the flesh. How soon do you want results? The more you pray in tongues, the quicker the results. I suggest praying in tongues at least an hour a day. If that seems too overwhelming, then start out with fifteen minutes a day and build up to at least an hour. You will be rewarded for your efforts.
You can set aside a block of time to privately pray in tongues and or pray in tongues during your daily activities while you get ready for work or school, walking or driving to work or school or an event or while reading the Bible, another book or magazine, watching television, listening to music or whatever. Just use wisdom when you are praying in tongues in public, you don't want people to think you are crazy! You can pray in tongues quietly, hardly moving your lips and no one has to know you are praying in tongues. There is no excuse for not praying in tongues during some time of the day if you have the ability to speak.
Jude 20,21 says you build yourself up on your most holy faith and keep yourself in the love of God when you pray in tongues. So praying in tongues can be spiritually edifying to you.
Also, you can by faith, ask your Heavenly Father in Jesus' name to direct your praying in tongues to solve specific problems as well as give you revelation knowledge of passages of scripture in the Bible. The Holy Spirit in you is the Spirit of Revelation, your Comforter, Counselor, and Intercessor among other things. Develop your relationship with Him. Talk to Him. Get quite before Him. Let Him share with you the heart of your Heavenly Father as well as reveal to you the entire Godhead: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
Well, hopefully this article has revealed to you the value of praying in tongues so you can overcome the flesh to unlock God's perfect plan and destiny for your life. But what is your divine destiny? It is the assignment God has blessed you with to allow you to advance His kingdom. This assignment will include a revelation of your divine inheritance and who you are in Christ. To advance His kingdom involves you growing up into the fullness of Christ as His disciple and submitting your will to God, loving Him more than life, forsaking all (dead to the world, dead to the love of money and dead to the love of things so He can trust you to be a great spiritual, financial and material distribution center with a divine purpose) and continuing in study, meditation, and obedience to His Word.
Is it impossible to be a disciple of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? Yes, if you try to do it in your own strength, but with God's grace you and can do all things through Christ which strengthens you. What is God's grace? It is His willingness to release His power and ability on your behalf. It is His unmerited favor given to you because of the finished work of Jesus Christ on the Cross.

There is a new online musical instrument store called Tribe of Judah Instrument Co. that makes its musical instruments unto the LORD and then makes them only available to followers of Yeshua. The company believes that when King David made the instruments for the musicians in the Temple that he would of only made them available for that purpose. Click on banner below for video at their homepage.
Tribe of Judah Instrument Co. was established in the beginning of 2007. They started making bamboo flutes and are now working on developing a percussion instrument line. The company is looking for born again instrument makers who are ready to consecrate their gift unto the LORD. Their vision is to expand into a full operating company providing all kinds of stringed, wind and percussion instruments. It is already known internationally by other worshipers who have purchased their instruments and found them to be a great delight.
Here are a couple testimonies made by others concerning the instruments:
"I love to worship spontaneously with different instruments. I have played many harps, drums, flutes this way. But the Tribe of Judah flutes are the only instruments that when I play them, I feel the weighty presence of the Lord so strong and just have to stop and rest in Him. I attribute this to the anointing for worship that flows through the ministry responsible for making them. I encourage everybody to order a flute for themselves and for gifts for those they know who want to worship Yah! They are a very unique and special gift to give yourself and others." – Mary Blakeley
"This flute is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! This is the first bamboo flute I have ever purchased, so I didn't really have many expectations, aside from judging the quality of the flutes from the pictures on the website.....but....when it came in the mail....i was completely floored!! Gary did a wonderful job creating such a wonderful instrument! I couldn't have been more happy! The quality is outstanding! I couldn't be more pleased with this purchased!!! The sound my flute produces is excellent! Thank you so much Gary for blessing me with such an awesome instrument to play for God! BELOVED - G# Minor End Blown Flute" – Matthew Danner
Tribe of Judah Instrument Co. can be found @ http://www.holyworshipmusicalinstruments.com . I believe it will be worth your visit to see and hear the instruments being made unto the LORD. Remember, as the Good Lord wills new instruments will be added soon. Be blessed by the Holy Spirit.
Serving our Lord Yeshua,
