Prayer Circle April 7 Day 38

Greetings, 

Time is flying by so quickly. We are on the 7th day of the 2nd month of this intercession assignment. Tomorrow we will have a conference call to touch base with each other and bask in the Glory of God. I would to schedule the call for 8:30 pm EST. I will traveling tomorrow and I know that many of us have to work during the day and care for our family in the evening. The call will only last about 15 minutes so I hope each and everyone will be able to attend. The conference call number is 1-862-902-0240 and the access code is 312-2921. 

Today I have written a condensed version of my intercessory prayer for you today. Be Blessed and I look forward to hearing your smiling voices tomorrow. 

Heavenly Father,

You are magnificent to us. We stay in a place of awe, fear, and reverence because your love protects and shields us from the devices of our enemies. Even when we leave an open door for the enemy to come in, you raise up a standard against him. Your sovereignty, omnipotence, and omniscience is a lamp unto our feet, and a light unto our path. Uphold us according unto thy word, that we may live. We are your servants; give us understandings, that we may know your testimonies. Order our steps in your word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over us. We trust you with all our heart and refuse to lean into our own understanding. We have all sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Father you have never left or forsaken us. Thank you for giving us a platform to be genuine and authentic. A platform free from shame and guilt even though we are open to scrutiny from you and the world including your church. Lord you continuously search our heart and try our reins keeping us honest keeping us truthful keeping sincere keeping us upright keeping us scrupulous. The world and the church seem to love to chop down trees of righteousness because of missed opportunities or a false starts. Even when you Lord give us the bread of adversity and the water of affliction on this open platform in front of the world we will not be moved. We are resolved to be perfected, established, and settled by you so that our lives can be a witness to Your Power and Glory. All things work for our good… why?? We love you and you have called us according to your purposes. No longer will we cover up like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. No longer will we be trees with leaves and no fruit, no longer will we have a form of godliness and deny your power, no longer will we be lukewarm.

Father we accept the fact that we will make mistakes, Father we accept the responsibility of picking up our cross on a daily basis, and when we become tired and heavy laden we will use the same mind that was in Christ Jesus. We will do what Jesus did and cast our burdens on you. We will enter into your presence and rest. We will take care of our spirit man through prayer and worship, we will take care of our soul through repentance and mind renewing techniques, and we will take care of our bodies through diet and exercise. We are free, healed, delivered and the chains of bondage are broken off of us... We will no longer be slaves to sin but be liberated to demonstrate your eternal plan through salvation and deliverance. No can hold be back from transforming your word into reality nothing can keep me from abounding. I plea the Blood of Jesus over my life, my family, my possessions, and all things given to me by You Father in Heaven. I receive the power to be holy and the power to make the right choices.

Today I am requesting an outpouring and a refreshing for each lady in our Prayer Circle.

Thank you for the life of DeAndra Jenkins. Thank you for connecting her to a church home and a Pastor that care about your gifting inside of her. Give her Pastor eagle eyesight for her future and give him wisdom to share with her about how she can stir up and increase the love and prophetic gift you have given her. Allow her to meet other like-minded disciples where she can be sharpened. In her love walk let her see the needs of others who need a refresh drink of Jesus. Keep her prepared in season and out to help the ones you have called her to. In her upcoming season of Jubilee, restore all. Holy Spirit guide her tongue so that she cannot refuse, deny, nor miss what belongs to her.

Thank you for the life of Aretha Tanner. Thank you that you have strengthened and restored her faith. Her hope in you is greater than it has ever been before. Her uncommon and unusual will faith will attract resourceful people unto her business, ministry, and home life. Thank you that #TeamTanner (mother and son) is a love story of uncommon and unusual faith. As she works the fields for you instruct others to favor her. As she gives, let it be given unto her; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, This is what men shall give into her bosom. For with the same measure that she poured out it shall be measured to her again. Father I decree that she shall find a suitable resting place that is profitable for #TeamTanner. Remove the stress, hassle, and nervous tension of relocating. Father give her discernment regarding money. Let her discover books, computer programs, and professionals that can accelerate her understanding of finances.

Thank you for the life of Sonseeahray Foster. Thank you that her mind is focused on your Kingdom. Your word declares that the harvest is plenteous but the laborers are few. Father she shows up daily to work for you… Give her a plan of action that will satisfy her desire to see your Kingdom advanced and your people blessed. There is so much POWER in her voice and I pray that your will be done to broadcast your glory that’s infused in her sound. Let each day be filled with dreams and visions showing her exactly what needs to be done. Birth her out in 2014. Connect her with an integral, spirit filled leader that can take her from breast milk to cereal to table food. Balance her life so that work doesn’t overpower ministry, ministry doesn’t over power family time, and it all doesn’t dominate the precious time you guys spend together.  

Thank you for the life of Lynda Dorman. Her sweet spirit and love for you automatically draws people to you Lord. We all have an evangelistic ministry to spread your good news and we become a bridge for others to walk from one side to the other. As people are walking on her, teach her your judgments according to Psalm 37. Show her how to love according to your word so that another man’s fall will not tarnish her spirit. Spirit of God breathe on all four corners of her life, bring a refreshing and newness to her life in 2014, and give her the desires of her heart. Let this be a year that she is celebrated and not tolerated. Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.

Thank you for the life of Lori Rheubottom. Thank you that you are sharpening her ears to recognize and know your sound and your voice. Your word declares that your sheep will know my voice and they will not follow any others. Lord as her shepherd you have given her many promises in Psalm 23. Thank you that there is not any lack in her house. Thank you for that table that you have prepared for her even while her enemies are present. Thank  you that goodness and mercy shall follow her all the days of her life. Thank you Lord for speaking to her about matters of the heart. Please show her if her relationships are healthy, integral, and spiritually sound. Give her strategy (wisdom, knowledge, and understanding) on how to use the enlightenment and eternal truths for her life.

Thank you for the life of Antoinette Woodland. She is a precious jewel in your kingdom. Thank you that each encouragement over the past 30+ days gave her confidence about who she is in you. Thank you that this confidence can be translated into increased skills and abilities to serve you Lord at work, home, and at church. She is a Called and Chosen saint and I pray that you will show her how to use all the resources and tools available to her. Give her “ahh haa” moments while reading your Word that will guide her footsteps on her path of blessing, experience, enlightenment, favor, growth, and increase. Show her how your faithfulness, mercy, and grace towards her is not predicated on her deeds but based upon your love towards her. For Lord you know the thoughts that you think toward her… thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give her an expected end.

Thank you for the life of Angela James. People forget that we can entertain the company of angels and I thank you that you have sent the angel of Angela to our Prayer circle. Thank you for her changed perspective on your love towards her. Thank you that he has received an impartation of who she is to you. Thank you that your faithfulness toward her has dominated the evil myths of the enemy. No weapon formed against her has been able to prosper and every tongue that rises up in judgment against her has been condemned. She has embarked on a new era of life and I thank you for the refreshing and newness. Thank you for being the potter and molding her. Thank you for being the true vine and allowing her to be the branch. Each time that she was purged only because she was bearing fruit and the purging helps her bring forth more fruit. She felt like she was losing, but Jesus you was only setting her up to be cleaned through the word which you have spoken to her. Now you Father are being glorified, because she bears much fruit and she is a disciple of you.

.

Father seal this prayer with the blood of Jesus that sealed our fate with you. In Jesus Name I pray... Amen 

Prayer Circle April 6 Day 37

Happy Sunday,

I hope you had a blessed and prosperous day. Today I was inspired and ignited by hearing the Word of God and witnessing a baptism. I literally could feel the floors in heaven shaking from all the praise dancing as this youth participated in a demonstration of her love for Christ. It was such an awesome reality to see. It was another reminder to me that there is always something I can do to demonstrate my love and appreciation for Christ.

 Everyone’s love offering may look different, however the effect should be the same—advancing the Kingdom of God. This was a perfect setup for today’s encouragement from God’s Response of the life-word I freehanded some weeks ago.

This is the year that I transform His Word into reality.

Rom 12:2 KJV - "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

Prov 4:23 Good News Translation – “Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts.”

Pro 23:7 KJV - "For as he thinketh in his heart, so [is] he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart [is] not with thee."

Heb 6:6 NLT - "and who then turn away from God. It is impossible to bring such people back to repentance; by rejecting the Son of God, they themselves are nailing him to the cross once again and holding him up to public shame."

I am striving to create a consistent pattern in my life of worship through study. Study… research or a detailed examination and analysis of a subject. Study implies an attempt to obtain a grasp of something by methodical or exhaustive thought according to dictionary.com. There are many days that I read the bible but I never enter into the mode of study. Purposely reflecting and considering the Word of God will reshape my thoughts and transform who I am. Think about it… do you read or do you study? Is this why we have so many Christians that can quote scriptures until they are blue in the face but turn their back on God every 2nd Thursday after a full moon? Their (including me) inability to be transformed places humiliates notion of having a Christocentric lifestyle. I cannot bite the hand the feeds me any longer.  

This is the year that I step out on faith.

2Co 5:7 KJV - "(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)"

Rom 8:24 KJV - "For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?"

Heb 10:38 KJV - "Now the just shall live by faith: but if [any man] draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him."

Heb 11:1 KJV - "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

Job 8:7 KJV - "Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase."

Hab 2:2 KJV - "And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make [it] plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it."

Hos 4:6 KJV - "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children."

I’ve learned that it is ok to start small. Today I am believing God that I will study my Bible in a consistent manner. In order to sustain my faith walk, I have to see something that is not there. Writing down a plan of action that promotes consistent behavior actions is a great way to visualize my success story. I will keep my focus on the prize and not stress out about what I see around me. What is your small start? How will you walk on water?

This is the year that I abound. 

Pro 28:20 NKJV - "A faithful man will abound with blessings, But he who hastens to be rich will not go unpunished."

1Th 4:1 NKJV - "Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God;"

2Pe 1:8 NKJV - "For if these things are yours and abound, [you] will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Success is waiting for us in abundance and there isn’t a short supply. There is no lack as long as we are faithful to the godly vision for our faith walk. God has given us a fail proof plan.

Let’s Pray…

Thank you Father for pouring out your gracious love on us in this Prayer Circle. We are excited about your Word, your purpose for our life and your plan to give us good success. Open our hearts, sharpen our ears, and enlighten our eyes of understanding so that we can follow the path that exercises our faith. We are ready to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling as you have commanded us in Phillipians 2:12. We are willing to put in work. We are prepared so demonstrate your love in the earth. The greater is coming and no one can tell me differently for it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. ... Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. ... By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, ... By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment. ... By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days. By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace. By Faith we will walk like our predecessors and abound. We thank you by faith for our good success. In Jesus name we pray… Amen

Prayer Circle April 5 Day 36

Happy Saturday Prayer Circle, Called and Chosen, Women of God, 

I want to say Congratulations to Pastor Tanner. Yesterday she was apart of a CD release concert with Pastor Marvin Sapp, CBW Records, and Jerda Musick. Pastor Tanner has her own track on the Circle of Prayer CD. Whoop! Whoop! And as soon as she tells us how we can order a copy... I'm getting one. Also please join me in wishing her Happy Birthday!!!. Her birthday is Sunday April 6th!! We CELEBRATE you today!!

---------------------------------- I want to jump right into our encouragement... 

The rushing winds released in Your Voice Gracious Father scatters and dries up any demonic force driving me away from purpose. 

Gen 1:2-3 KJV - "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."

Eze 37:9-10 KJV - "Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army."

Spirit in Genesis is the same as breath and winds in Ezekiel, which is the Hebrew word Ruah which literally means breath of God. When we speak, breath then sound comes out of our mouth as exemplified in Genesis 1. God is the epitome of Life and our purpose originates from God. Therefore death is an antonym to purpose. We can use several scriptures to support this hypothesis including Rth 2:16, Ezr 4:5, Job 33:17, Ecc 3:1, 17, Rom 8:28, Rom 9:11, 2Ti 1:9, 2Ti 3:10, 1Jo 3:8. As God speaks to you directly in prayer and worship or thru another person’s prayer for you… Additional life is poured into your purpose and evil energy is pushed further away from its assignment against your life. That understanding is a great motivating factor to stay in a place of prayer or worship. I am overjoyed at the benefits of being the King’s kid, a Called and Chosen member of the Royal Kingdom.

Each alternate route driven expands my borders to expose your Greatness and Glory and my reality of life.

Mat 21:19 KJV - "And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward forever. And presently the fig tree withered away."

When we don’t make righteous choices, we seem to end up in a place called sin that feels like death. We take an alternate route from the mapped out plan of God. On this alternate route, we ended up calling out to God for salvation, help, deliverance etc. The people around us are able to witness the power and glory of God at work in our lives. They are able to see the changes, perfecting, settling, and establishing that God works out in us over time. Literally people are able to see us mess up BIG time and the mercy, grace, love, and favor of God rescue us, making our bad work for our good. So why do we shy away from allowing people to see our mistakes. Why do we hide in shame and condemnation if we know that God our Father can be glorified out of our ignorance? Ha… We want to seem perfect... We want to look perfected… Especially us, the Microwave generation. The work in me is done, it’s completed… Half the time we are hot on the outside but frozen on the inside looking like the fig tree that Jesus cursed… showing leaves without any fruit. Instead of worrying about what our neighbor may say because we are in the perfecting process, we should worry if our cover-up will curse us. Great people can make grave mistakes, but it’s the handling of the mistake that determines if we live or die.

To say I don't care what people say is a lie. But the days of living in bondage based on the wayward thoughts of others ends today. This is a form of the evil sounding brass of the enemy because it contradicts the spoken knowledge of God about me. I will no longer succumb to the suggestions relinquished in the tinkling cymbals of the enemy. i will no longer entertain the images that he places in my mind.

Pro 22:1 KJV - "A [good] name [is] rather to be chosen than great riches, [and] loving favour rather than silver and gold."

1Co 13:1-8 NKJV - "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have [the gift of] prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed [the poor], and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long [and] is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether [there are] prophecies, they will fail; whether [there are] tongues, they will cease; whether [there is] knowledge, it will vanish away."

Being liberated from the opinions, myths, truths, and thoughts of others is exhilarating. I don’t know if you have ever experienced that but my oh my… try it out as soon as possible. Don’t get it twisted… we want to have a great report in public. But at what cost are you willing to obtain a good name. I believe I do better at making mistakes, repenting, transforming, renewing of my mind, testifying of my Good News than I do at manipulation or jezebeling my way through life. Anyways… if someone else’s truth about me doesn’t line up to God’s plan and destiny for my life… it becomes noise in my spirit rather that life or love, which again is the essence of God. So today decide to walk shamelessly and guiltless because your experiences WILL help someone else. There is a greater reason why you suffer and deal with the issues that are connected to your life. A sinner or backslider needs to hear your wisdom about your life according to the word of God. I needed to hear Angela J’s and Rev Jenkins’ testimony to encourage me about my own addictions. I needed to hear Pastor Tanner’s life wisdom to encourage me about my mental disorders. I needed to hear Lynda’s testimony to break the chain of shame about being in an unhealthy relationship with a man. We have no idea how our life wisdom can change and renew a person. Thank you for those who have shared their life with me.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Let’s Pray...

Today, I thank God for being faithful to me all the days of my life. I thank you for pouring life into my purpose. I thank you for exposing my sins (even against my wishes) to others for your Glory and Greatness. I strive to have a good name by living righteously not perfectly. I thank you that righteous living doesn’t require perfection but perfects me along the way. I refuse to be a tree with leaves and no fruit. I refuse to have a form of godliness, but deny the power thereof. I refuse to be cold on the inside and hot on the outside. I refuse to be double-minded, being unstable in all my ways. When I feel a false balance I will draw close to God. I will cast me cares upon you. I will cleanse my hands and purify my hearts. The same mind that was in Christ Jesus shall also be in me. I am free, healed, delivered, the chains are broken. I plea the Blood of Jesus over my life, my family, my possessions, and all things given to me by You Father in Heaven. I receive the power to be holy and the power to make the right choices. What I see as a mistake, God uses that imprint/footstep to bring my closer to Him. I decree that your grace has been bestowed over me and infused into my DNA. There's nothing that I can do about God's love towards me. He has sent grace and mercy to follow me all the days of my life. I walk in Confidence about what you Called and Chosen me to be. Thank you for grace to see. Lord breathe on my unbelief so I can be a bold warrior for you; Spirit of God move over my chaos, my void, my dark places. I declare that The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. Lord be glorified by my life. In Jesus Name I pray… Amen.

Prayer Circle: April 4 Day 35

Happy Friday Everyone,

I want to continue our encouragement from where we left off on Wednesday.

Thank you for your word that has been spoken over my life. I believe the Truth of your Word; it is being used to break the chains off of my life.

1Th 2:13 KJV - "For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received [it] not [as] the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe."

Heb 4:12 KJV - "For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

How many times have you been prayed for? Did you receive or reject the prayer? If you received the words of prayer and didn’t reject it, we tend to hide or store up that understanding in our inner man, secret place, or mind of the heart like a quail (protected on all sides). The prayer or outpouring of treasure unlocks or breaks a link in the chain that is attaching us to bondage. In other words, it agrees with what we believe “belongs to us” according the Promise guaranteed to us by our Heavenly Father.

Even though the daily picture or image doesn't seem to mirror or match. I pray that your favor recolors, your sovereignty reshapes, your mercy and grace filters in light and your love frames it all.

Ecc 3:11 KJV - "He hath made every [thing] beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end."

Isa 46:10 KJV - "Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times [the things] that are not [yet] done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:"

Heb 11:3 KJV - "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."

Faith is the fuel chamber or gas tank for us as purpose drives us to the Promise. Within faith is the substance that allows us to move forward in God with confidence, boldness, and strength. It was through the words of God that this earthly world was created, shaped, and formed. These words caused things that you and I don’t see to divinely emerge, materialize, and become visible. Many times when we are prophesied to or edified to, the words translate into a mental picture or image inside our minds. Because people can only prophesy in part, we may see the glimpse or piece of the promise without knowing if it’s the beginning, middle, or end. The glimpse can encourage us because it may offer a solution or relief to the suffering we are experiencing. So we begin to pray that our glimpse happens without knowing the totality of the Promise God is bringing through us to show forth His glory. Discouragement, depression, frustration, anger, and all sorts of other unsettling feelings can begin to rule the mind of our heart because the glimpse is not here… it’s not happening right now to ease the pain that we feel right now. The microwave mentality becomes a driving force in our mind. It begins to add shade to what God is accomplishing in His perfect timing. Our cries originate out of the driving force of the microwave mentality instead of the driving force of faith.

I exercise my faith and strengthen my endurance with mind over matter techniques (Romans 12:1). I speak into existence and call those things which be not as though they were.

Rom 12:2 KJV - "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

Rom 4:17 KJV - "(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, [even] God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were."

Proverbs 23:7 KJV For as he thinketh in his heart, so [is] he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart [is] not with thee.

Phil 4:8 KJV Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Ephesians 4:29 ESV Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear

Luke 6:45 ESV The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

Mark 11:22-24 ESV And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Mind over matter techniques are frequently used by people who are in chronic pain. My father, Greco Battles exercised this technique when he was going through chemo and radiation therapy for throat cancer. He was told by the doctors… be still and don’t move. If you move, we could hit the wrong spot and destroy the wrong cells prolonging the illness. In a Harvard Health Publication from October 2011 (http://www.health.harvard.edu/newsletters/Harvard_Mental_Health_Letter/2011/October/mind-over-matter), it noted the benefits of mind over matter. The University of Maryland Medical Center terms it mind body medicine (http://umm.edu/health/medical/altmed/treatment/mindbody-medicine).There are countless of reports that say… this thing works. Why does it work? well… We were created in the image of God and after His likeness. Watch God speak in Gen 1:3, 6, 9, 11, 14, 20 24, 26 etc. Things appeared because He spoke them into existence; we also have the same ability. Practice and believe it this month more than ever. The same principle that He is teaching us, we can place in the universe, so that we can receive it back (sowing and reaping). Is it funny/lovely/wonderful/confirming to you that Gen 1:3, 6, 9, 11, 14, 20 24, 26 are the verses of creation. And God is giving us a blanket opportunity to practice creation within our lives. 6 days of creation plus one day of rest (7 days) and we are benefiting from 7 days of intercession. What will you create? Will you sow the gift into your flesh or will you multiple the talent for the Kingdom? Can God count on you to produce interest for the Kingdom?

Father in the Name of Jesus,

Thank you for giving us confidence, pushing us forward, promoting my talent level, and encouraging us in your Word. It adds strength to my spirit and molds the seat of my perceptions to see your scriptures revealed in your response to the life-word given to us. I have a pep in my step demonstrating the divine energy released through the Word of God. I call on the angels of heaven and army of God to rise up against every enemy assigned to destroy my soul through unstable emotions and unhealthy thinking. I shall meditate day and night on Your Word. The book of the law shall not depart out of my mouth; but I shall meditate therein day and night, that I may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then I shall make my way prosperous, and I shall have good success. My pronunciations feeds my meditations. My meditations nourish my actuality which demonstrate my reality. The same mind that was in Christ Jesus is also in me. Lord, your Word declares if I keep my mind stayed on You, You will give me perfect peace. A peace that is tailored just for me and my situation. A peace that relieves the struggle between 2 opinions of thought. The struggle of moving forward in my area of weakness is removed from my situation. Therefore, I am free to exist in your world of creation producing interest for the Kingdom of God. I am free to walk in faith that is at least the size of a mustard seed. I am free to utilize unusual and uncommon faith. I am free to serve your people through in Kingdom building assignments. I am free to operate in the prophetic anointing that is available to be through You. I am free to focus on the Kingdom of God, ways to lift up your name and bring interest to your name so that people can be drawn by You. I am free to walk in love. I am free to be confident that God doesn’t love me based on my actions but based on the truth of His word about me. I am free to hear your voice God about matters of the heart. I am free from stress regarding the unknown. I am free to surrender to you in a manner consistent with Psalm 37. I am free. This is my year of jubilee. I am released from debt and restoration is my portion. I am free to enter the birthing chamber. I’m coming out. I am free from the chains of bondage and sin. I am free to speak the Truth of Change over my life, my family, my career, my friends, my money, my ministry, my abilities, and over my decisions.  I shall know the truth, and the truth shall make me free. In Jesus Mighty and wonderful Name, I pray… Amen.

Prayer Circle: April 2 Day 33

Good Day Everyone, I hope all is well. My 3 youngest kids are in town for Spring Break so I have been trying to enjoy every moment of our time together while fighting a sinus & strep throat infection. Fun times!!! Tomorrow is a VERY IMPORTANT day for me, my children and my parents. If you can keep me lifted up in prayer that would be a tremendous blessing for us.

Within me I expect to hear a fresh revelatory word from God every day. I want to learn more and more about Him and how to apply his perspective to my reality. I believe in some ways my paradigm has been fashioned by the American microwave mentality. I want EVERYTHING that I want right NOW. It’s hard for me to sit back and chew on the same piece of fat for months. We are all asking God to change or enhance areas in our lives and we want to see, feel, touch, smell, and taste these changes immediately. On a blog titled “Women Walking in Wisdom’s Footsteps” I read the following quote:

. Normally So for those of you who are seeking a change (or changes), it may not be helpful to seek the quick fix.  Because while temporary relief may come and go, transformation achieved through effort and struggle is lasting.

This quote really stuck with me as I was preparing for today’s encouragement session. I wanted to bring y’all something new, different, exciting, and refreshing. I wanted to deep about y’all’s prayer request. However, the Holy Spirit redirected my overzealous desires back to His response that I shared yesterday. He wants us to rehearse the golden nuggets so that we can be clear of the promises that He is bringing our way. 

The first part of His Response begins with...

My sin is ever before you. My mistakes have matured me with an earthly blessing. Your yoke is easy and your burden is light. I lay down my burdens, cast my cares upon you and rest in your presence. I stand firm believing that each year, month, week, day, and moment has been preordained by you

We all make mistakes and sometimes we repeat the same mistake over and over again. Even being equipped with the reasoning and understanding the behavior is a mistake we still knowingly commit the act, the sin. We choose to miss the mark purposely. And on top of that we cry out to God because we are experiencing the consequence of our negative behavior. These consequences (earthly blessings) can make our path seem long, treacherous, hilly, or even impossible. I can relate my consequences of having a child out of wedlock and divorce to this scenario. The only way for me to physically and mentally move forward was to cry to God and tell my Father all about it. My whining didn’t immediately change my circumstances, but it gave God an opportunity to change my perspective so that I could gather the energy to progress (rest in His Presence). When you have truly entered into the presence of God, your entire reality changes, miracles are present, the peace of God will surpass your understanding of what is true; literally, I have seen people leave their walking cane in the sanctuary and didn’t call the church until dayssss later looking for it. She didn’t need it. Her reality (mental and physical conditions) changed so drastically that the crutch (a physical object solving a mental condition) was no longer a solution. If you have never witnessed such a miracle or unusual circumstance make it a priority to surround yourself with someone who can teach you how to usher yourself into a precious atmosphere as God’s presence.

The details of my life work for my good; not by my might or power but by your Spirit Lord.  You have chosen to confound the wise with the foolish things of the world and you can use an ass to speak your word.

According to Romans 8:28 all things that we do, whether good or bad, work for our good or a greater purpose. Many times mistakes with consequences allow us that chance to perfect things within us. After a while, when the opportunity to knowingly commit a sin rears its ugly head, previous experiences with the consequence should fire off information in our mind about making a better decision. I Peter 5:10 says  "But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you]." But the first step is listed in verse 7… casting your cares upon Him. Therefore never give up on yourself or God because there is a “perfecting, establishing, strengthening, settling” that’s happening in you through Him. Suffering through the consequences can make you feel foolish or weak. That can be Romans 8:28 kicking in because in 1Corintians 1:27 God imparts "But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;" You feeling foolish and weak is the things working together for your good. You never know when God is going to bless you with your change or enhancement. It can manifest NOW.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So my question to us scholared woman of the Lord… What techniques can you implore to motivate yourself when you are weak or feeling foolish about your choices due to the suffering felt from the consequences? How can you help yourself when no one is around or you have rejected to the wisdom around you?

Prayer Circle: April 1 Day 32

Hello Everyone, 

I am going bananas over what God is doing in my life through our Prayer Circle. I have been blessed beyond measure and this is only the beginning. I don't know if you can tangibly see or feel the effect of His Words working in your life; I see them in mine. Many people are called but few are chosen to walk this path of blessing, experience, enlightenment, favor, growth, and increase. The Holy Spirit has shown me each element in my path. Have you seen each element in your path over the last 30 days? If not, ask the Holy Spirit to show you. He's such a gentleman... I'm sure it will be His pleasure. 

The belief that I am Called and Chosen is starting to sink into my reality. I don't feel like I'm acting delusional nor tricking myself into believing something that may not apply to ME. I really hope that you are having a mighty, tangible, and real-live experience with God. If you are not, PLEASE let me know through a comment on this blog. It will only help me as an intercessor. I want to make sure the vein of God is full of supply for everyone.

On Day 2, I expressed that God was going to cleanse us over the next 3 months. Don't fight the deliverance. Surrender freely. I wrote a life-word the other day (based on my experience within the last 2 weeks & my decision not to walk in my deliverance immediately). God responded to it in prayer a few days later. I believe His response wasn't just for me but contains golden nuggets for you as well.  

**Written March 27, 2014 -- Life-Word**
My heart screams with violence from the self inflicted anguish. 
The moments I didn't care
have NOW caused me to care.
The seconds of being FREE
have NOW enslaved me. 
A jump off jumps off with no purpose
Lord let MY impetuous leap 
land me on target
reshaping the discouraging shame of a false start
One bad choice TODAY can
disqualify me from the prize tomorrow.
Let the premature love I SHARED...
hold its value and truth
be not in vain
Lord let the love I SHARE...
captivate the mind 
match the heart's desire
Lord let YOUR LOVE...
Bind us together 
Place us on purpose

**God's Response to my Life -Word**  
I start with a roaring praise unto your Holy and Majestic Name. You are altogether lovely, all together worthy, all together wonderful to me. I bow in humble thanksgiving to your judgment, your wisdom, and your perfect vision for my life. My life is not my own. it belongs to you and I give you an internal YES to your eternal plan. Thank you for presiding over my life. Thank you for friends and family. Thank you for godly opportunities. Thank you that all things work together for my good. Thank you for the love that we share between us. Thank you for your grace and mercy to carry out my designed destiny. Even when my choices separated us; you have been faithful to me and never left my side. Even when I turned my back, you kept me on track to move me forward. your love is so unconditional towards me... ohhhhh... only if my love was more like you. You are love. Your judgment was established before the details were revealed. I trust you. I trust your plan. I trust your love. I believe in you.
SELAH

My sin is ever before you. My mistakes have matured me with an earthly blessing. Your yoke is easy and your burden is light. I lay down my burdens. cast my cares upon you and rest in your presence. I stand firm believing that each year, month, week, day, and moment has been preordained by you. The details of my life work for my good; not by my might or pwer but by your Spirit Lord.  You have chosen to confound the wise with the foolish things of the world and you can use an ass to speak your word. Thank you for your word that has been spoken over my life. I believe the Truth of your Word; it is being used to break the chains off of my life. Even though the daily picture or image doesn't seem to mirror or match. I pray that  your favor recolors, your sovereignty reshapes, your mercy and grace filters in light and your love frames it all. I exercise my faith and strengthen my endurance with mind over matter techniques (Romans 12:1). I speak into existence and call those things which be not as though they were. I call on the angels of heaven and army of God to rise up against every enemy assigned to destroy my soul through unstable emotions and unhealthy thinking. I shall meditate day and night on Your Word. The rushing winds released in Your Voice Gracious Father scatters and dries up any demonic force driving me away from purpose. Each alternate route driven expands my borders to expose Your Greatness and Glory and my reality of life. To say I don't care what people say is a lie. But the days of living in bondage based on the wayward thoughts of others ends today. This is a form of the evil sounding brass of the enemy because it contradicts the spoken knowledge of God about me. I will no longer succumb to the suggestions relinquished in the tinkling cymbals of the enemy. i will no longer entertain the images that he places in my mind. The same mind that was in Christ Jesus is also in me. I am free, healed, delivered, the chains are broken. I plea the Blood of Jesus over my life, my family, my possessions, and all things given to me by You Father in Heaven. I receive the power to be holy and the power to make the right choices. What I see as a mistake, God uses that imprint/footstep to bring my closer to Him. I decree that your grace has been bestowed over me and infused into my DNA. There's nothing that I can do about God's love towards me. I walk in Confidence about what you Called and Chosen me to be. Thank you for grace to see. Help my unbelief so I can be a bold warrior for you; Freeing others thru the power in my testimony. Walking shamelessly and guiltless because of the needs and desires of others who require the wisdom of my life experiences with(out) you in order to be liberated, encouraged, healed, and connected. This is the year that I transform His Word into reality. This is the year that I step out on faith. This is the year that I abound. 1Co 2:9 KJV - "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."
