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.
