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.
