March 4, Day 4

Greetings in the Wonderful, Everlasting, and Mighty name of Jesus Christ,

God is on the move ladies! He has increased the size our Prayer Circle. We have 2 additional Women of God who are joining our sphere of influence. When I received the email there were 3 passages of text that God kept illuminating in my heart.

Before I jump into that, I want to introduce everyone to Lori Rheubottom and Antoinette Woodland. Their prayer requests have been added to the chart below. Welcome Lori and Antoinette. Please be assured you are among God’s elite and each woman within the circle is a powerful intercessor, praiser, and worshipper. I wouldn’t delay picking up the phone and asking anyone of them to pray for me; not only would they pray the heaven down to earth for me, they would blacken the enemy’s eye for messing with me. 

I say all that to say… You have support within this circle. Please feel free to comment, respond, and share your personal testaments on the email chain. That’s how we grow, learn, and become a strong sphere of influence. You never know how your story resonates with someone else. On the previous prayer challenge that I participated in… more than half the group had been touched by the same infirmity. It took one person to speak up and then we were able to see the ties that bonded us together.

Name	Location	Summary of Request
Reverend Deandra Jenkins	Columbus, Ohio	Increase in Love gift and prophetic anointing; Year of jubilee (50th Bday)
Angela James	Silver Springs, Maryland	Increase in Faith, Removal of Doubt, and Change of Perspective about God’s Love toward her
Pastor Aretha Tanner	Clarkston, Tennessee	Strength and Restoration of Complete (Uncommon and Unusual) Faith, discipline, structure and increased wisdom regarding finances
Sonseeahray Foster	Jacksonville, Florida	Kingdom mindset and Kingdom focused, God’s true purpose being birthed out
Lynda Dorman	Silver Springs, Maryland	To fully surrender all to God as instructed in Psalm 37
Lori Rheubottom	Burtonsville, Maryland	Hearing the voice of God regarding matters of the heart
Antoinette Woodland	Washington DC	Increased faith and confidence in abilities

I love the fact that God allows us to participate in Prayer groups which remind us about His promises specific to our lives. From Day 1, God has told us that we are the Called and Chosen. Each of us has had the opportunity to sit in a place called “godly sorrow” which led us out of sin into salvation. While standing still and watching the salvation of the Lord, God lit a fire within us and passed us the responsibility of keeping the flame ablaze.  

Our faith, even if it is the size of a mustard seed, has the ability to move mountains. It’s up to us to believe the totality of the truth, it’s up to us to believe that the Holy Spirit wants to give it (the Promise) to us based on what He told us from day 1. We are Called and Chosen. We are not here in line for the blessing based on our righteousness but by His grace. As Paul reminded Timothy, God has equipped us with the ability, strength, zeal, compassion, and self control to walk in destiny.

It’s up to you to believe it into manifestation. It’s up to you to confess the truth that He has told you. Take 30 seconds to see the promise in your mind. Jenkins, see yourself telling Carell to check the mail while you are out traveling to go edify and prophesy to God’s people. Lori, see yourself sitting across the dinner table enjoying a delicious meal discussing the events of the day; look up and see who is sitting across from you.  I see myself reunited with my children in our home going over the calendar of activities for the week. Now speak what you see. Declare it in the earth. We do it for others all the time. Now it’s time for you to help yourself using your faith.

Listed below are the 3 passages that God said would be a blessing for us today.

1.       Matthew 20:1- 16

a.  Parable of the landowner who went out early in the morning to hire labors for his vineyard. He also went out late in the day and hired more people. He paid everyone that same wage, no matter how long they worked.

                                                               i.      The Holy Ghost showed me how Lori and Antoinette will receive the full blessing including that which was poured out on day 1.

b.       Verse 16 KJV: “So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.”

                                                               i.      My wig flew off when I looked up this story and found it matched our original Called and Chosen scriptures from Day 1. Hallelujah, He will confirm His Word.

 2.       Luke 5:17-20

a.       Story of the man that was healed based on his friends' faith

b.       Verse 20 KJV - “And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.”

                                                               i.       I was introduced to Lori and Antoinette through Lynda. Lynda recognized what her friends needed and made a way to usher in their blessing. The Bible describes the man as incapacitated and restricted because he was in the bed the entire time. Verse 20 shows us how we can usher in someone else’s healing based on our faith. This just reminds me the importance of sisterhood, the significance of sharing love amongst each other, and the value of participating in this Prayer Circle. Our sphere of influence between each other can set us free.

 3.       I Chronicles 4:9-10

a.       The story of Jabez

                                                               i.      In verse 9, Jabez is described as honorable. Honorable in Hebrew is kabad and translates as to be heavy, be weighty, to bear up under anything, to endure adversity. Can you see yourself as heavy in the spirit because I see you that way? Have you endure adversity? I know I have… Receive the blessing that Jabez requested. See your promise in his words.

b.       Verse 10 NLT – “He was the one who prayed to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and expand my territory! Please be with me in all that I do, and keep me from all trouble and pain!" And God granted him his request.”

Let’s Pray…

Creator God which art in heaven. You are the Great I am and your Loving Kindness has changed my life. Thank you for the Prayer Circle that you have created for me and my sisters in Christ. Thank you for the sphere of influence, thank you for the renewing and reshaping of my faith, and thank you for confirming your Word to me. I will speak the truth about myself. It’s not by chance that you Called and Chosen me for this Prayer Circle. I will practice exercising my faith within this Circle. Thank you for the opportunity to heal myself and others with my faith. My faith seals the deal. Everlasting Father send a Jabez blessing to each woman connected to this Circle including me. I bow before your Presence and worship You in the beauty of your holiness. In Jesus’ Name I pray… Amen
