Stop Praying Prayers of Doubt & Pray Prayers of Faith (1.6.14)

My Children,
You all have no concept of how powerful prayer is intended to be.

You do not realize that prayer, activated by faith, can move mountains. Prayer is a powerful tool that I have given you to use for My glory, to accomplish My purposes on this earth.

When I walked this earth, I lived a life of prayer, and I taught on prayer. I said that when two of you agree together in My name, you can ask for anything and it will be done. I said if you have faith when you pray, believing that I will answer your prayer, then I will. I spoke the truth then and it is still the truth now. I changeth not.

I am the GOD who delights to answer the prayers of My people...providing they do not pray amiss. I do not respond to prayers of doubt and wavering. But I do respond to prayers of faith and I greatly desire that type of prayer from you. I want you to be confident that you can approach My throne with boldness and make your requests known to Me. I want you to truly believe that I will hear you and will not turn you away.

At the same time, I want your prayers to be in alignment with My will, not selfish or carnal, but full of life and led by My indwelling Holy Spirit. Do you remember how My Son prayed just before He faced the cross? He told Me what His will and desires were, but then He laid aside His needs and told Me nevertheless, not My will let Thy will be done. There will be times in your life when you must do the same, and I will make those times clear to you. However, I want you to truly believe that I do desire to give you the desires of your heart. I delight to give good gifts to My children and I want your joy to be full.

I am the GOD of the impossible. I am the GOD who hears and answers the prayers of His people and I want you to be mindful of that when you pray, so that your prayers will be full of faith. I want you to pray prayers that tug on the hem of my garment. I want to show My glory and demonstrate My great love to you. I want to answer your prayers.

So, dear child, believe who I am.

Believe what I have said to you over and over again,

both in My written word and in My prophetic word.

Stop praying prayers of doubt and begin praying prayers of faith.

Pray with the expectation that I will indeed

hear and answer your prayer.

And I will!

Give Thanks to the Lord, His Faithful Love Endures Forever!! (1.5.14)

I will give thanks to You, O Lord,
and call on Your name.

I will make known among men the amazing things that You have done. I will sing to You and praise You alone. Teach me what it means to “glory in Your name,” that my heart might always rejoice in You. For it is my great desire to seek Your face always and to remember the wonders that You have done. I give thanks to You, Lord, for You are good.

Your love endures forever!

You remembered me when I was lost and without You,
and You freed me from the enemy!

Your love endures forever!

While I was still in my sin, Christ died for me!

Hallelujah! Your love endures forever!

You have not kept a record of my sin, nor treated me as my sins deserve,

but through Christ, You have removed my sin from me

as far as the east is from the west, and remembered it no more!

Hallelujah!

Your faithful love endures forever!

I will bless Your name, O Lord, and in Your name I will lift up my hands, for Your faithful love endures forever! I will praise You, O Lord, for there is no GOD like You in heaven or on earth — You who keep Your covenant of love with Your servants who continue wholeheartedly in Your way. There is nothing too difficult for You!

Your love endures forever!

Yours is the greatness O Lord, with all the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is Yours.

You are exalted as head over all. Wealth and honor come from You alone, for You are the ruler of all things. In Your hands are the strength and the power to exalt and give strength and power to all. And I join with all of heaven, and Your people everywhere, in giving You thanks and praising Your glorious name! Hallelujah!

Your faithful love endures forever!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Amen and Amen!

Today is A New Day, The Time is Now - Prepare Yourself, Rejoice and Do Not Delay (1.4.14)

My Child,

Prepare yourself and do not delay.

Be prepared, for I say, I made a day and I called it "today”.

I desire to move in your life today, so be prepared for I will not delay.
Mountains that once stood in your way
will be made flat and your feet will tread on solid ground.

Did I not say I would do this?
Am I not He who promised that when you tell the mountain
to be cast into the sea, it shall be so?
I am He who said “Let it be,” now let it be.

Today, right now;
it is time to take off the rags of mourning that you have walked in.
You learned much in your desert and wilderness experience;
and during that experience you were changed,
shaped and molded into a new person.
Now shake the dust off your feet and straighten your shoulders,
for I am about to make a great and mighty move in your life.

So much has happened in the heavenlies,
things that were unseen will soon be revealed.
Now be prepared, for your season is here,
it is changing before your very eyes.

This is a season of change; and it shall change suddenly.

One moment it will be one way and then suddenly it will be another way.

A new, different and wonderful change will take place.

I am closing the doors on your season of tears and hardships;

and opening new windows of opportunity.

Today make haste, and prepare for I will not delay.

Today is a new day. A day to stand. A day to be victorious.
It is a day to reap the fruits of your prayers, your tears
and faith in My word.

A day that I have made and called it "Today”.

The time is now. Rejoice.

I say rejoice with joy, with singing and praises to My name
for your deliverance has come.

Now prepare yourself, rejoice, and do not stop.
-------
Deuteronomy 8:2 - And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.

2 Chronicles 29:36 - And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.

Malachi 3:1 - Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

It's a New Year, a Time to Walk in Renewed Faith - Part 2 (1.3.14)

Beginning today, I will cherish each moment of my life,

because everyday is a gift from the Lord.

I will value this gift and I will unselfishly share this gift with others.

Beginning today, I will face challenges with courage and determination.

I will overcome the barriers that try to hinder my quest to succeed,

for greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world.

Beginning today, I will take life one day at a time, one step at a time.

Discouragement will not be allowed to taint my positive self-image,

because the Lord didn't give me a spirit of fear,

but a powerful spirit of love and a sound mind.

Beginning today, I will open my mind and my heart.

I will welcome new experiences.

I will ask the Lord to bring new anointed relationships in my life.

And if I choose to walk alone, the Lord will help me realize it’s better to be alone

than to be in the wrong company.

Beginning today, I am responsible for my own happiness

and I will do things that are pleasing unto the Lord

and I know I will be happy;

because my happiness is found in the Lord,

and not in others and what they can do for me.

Beginning today, I will learn something new, I will try something different

and I will savor all the various flavors life has to offer.

I will change what the Lord allows me to change,

and the rest I will let go and trust that GOD knows what is best for me.

Beginning today, and every day I will trust in the Lord

and remember this is the day that the Lord has made.

I will rejoice and be glad;

and realize GOD's mercy and grace have blessed me to see this new day.

Matthew 6:34 - Take therefore no thought for tomorrow: for the tomorrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

It's a New Year, a Time to Walk in Renewed Faith (1.2.14)

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it
- Psalm 118:24

Happy New Year!!

You have made it through. You overcame some obstacles that you thought were impossible. Now leave the past behind you.

Selah.

Stop, breath, exhale.

This is the year for GOD's people to rise up and claim what is rightfully theirs. GOD says in His word to "forget the former things, neither consider the things of old". He wants you to forget what they did to you. It’s a new year, time to forget the former pain.

It’s time to forget all the slander of their cruel word.

It’s time to forget every hurtful word you heard.

It’s time to forget the people who that brought tears to your eyes.

It’s time to forget about the ones who passed you by.

It’s time to forget the hurt and pain you suffered in silence.

It’s time to forget those who walked away from your side.

And it’s time to REMEMBER Jesus.

Yes, remember Jesus, the One who for your sins, He died.

Therefore, beginning today, I will no longer worry about yesterday. It is in the past and the past will never change. I refuse to live a life dwelling on what could have been, because in that space, I will miss the great things GOD has planned for me.

Beginning today, I will walk with renewed faith in the Lord. Regardless of what has happened, I believe there is hope for a brighter and better future, because GOD has plans for me. Plans that provide hope and a prosperous future.

Beginning today, I will no longer worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will always be there, waiting for me to make the most of it. But I cannot make the most of tomorrow without first making the most of today.

Beginning today, I will look in the mirror and I will see a person worthy of my respect and admiration, because I was fearfully and wonderfully made by the Lord. Therefore, I will I enjoy spending time with myself and appreciating who GOD created me to be.

Prayer is the Key to Unlock God's Infinite Grace and Power (12.28.13)

The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops - James 5:16-18

Prayer is powerful because GOD is powerful;

and prayer is the means through which the divine power is released

and channeled into our lives.

In other words, all the power in prayer is really GOD’s power,
activated by prayer.

When you pray for another person, there is nothing that flows from you to them – no vibes, no force, no energy. Instead, your prayers go heavenward and the power of GOD moves from Him to the ones you pray for. When the Bible says prayer is powerful and effective, it means that GOD acts powerfully and effectively through the prayers of his people.

Prayer is the instrument by which GOD has chosen
to have His power directed in the universe.

This power is so rich and so mobile that all we have to do when we pray is to point to the persons or things to which we desire to have this power applied. And He, the Lord of this power, will direct the necessary power to the desired place.

What a awesome arrangement!

GOD partnering with human beings to accomplish his purposes!

Prayer is the key that unlocks all the storehouses of GOD’s infinite grace and power. All that GOD is and has is at the disposal of prayer. Prayer can do anything that GOD can do, and as GOD can do anything, prayer is omnipotent.

Prayer can do what political action cannot, what education cannot, what military might cannot and what planning committees cannot. All these are impotent by comparison.

Prayer can move mountains.

It can change human hearts, families, neighborhoods, cities and nations. It is the ultimate source of power, because it is the power of Almighty GOD. This power is available to GOD's children.. It was “a man just like us” (Elijah) who prayed “that it would not rain,” and GOD stopped the rain in Israel for three and a half years.

Where will the power of your prayers be felt today?

- Prayer -

Father,

I give You praise for Your great power

by which You move in this world

and by which You govern the affairs of all people.

Thank You for Your willingness to hear my prayers

and direct Your power to places and persons through them.

In Jesus’ Name,

I ask that You would help me to grow

in my ability to become a powerful and effective pray-er!

Amen

Expect to Be Blessed (12.27.13)

My Child,

I have promised that all your needs shall be met,

I will not turn a deaf ear to your cries,
when you call I will hear and answer.
I want you to start expecting to receive an answer.
Expect to hear my voice, expect to be blessed.
Why do you pray and don’t expect to be blessed?
You pray without expectation.
My promises are true.

I need you to trust Me. Let me Lead and guide you.
I long to whisper words of love and affection in your ear.
I promised that I would not leave you comfortless.
You must believe that what you have asked for, will come to past.

Trust in Me, don’t be moved by what you see,
and don’t be moved by what you feel.

Be confident that I have risen in your midst to bring healing,

to bring salvation, to bring victory and council to those in need.
Even now I am interceding for you and My Father always heareth My prayers.
I expect you to pray to Me. You must expect to receive your blessings.

Know that I hear your prayers and I am bringing all that you ask to pass.
I am bringing about a complete change in your life.
Trust in Me and believe that I am faithful

to do those things that I have promised to do.
Expect Me to bring the natural in alignment with the spiritual.
GOD is the God of Abraham, of Moses, of Isaac.

Remember, there is nothing too hard for God.

Expect to be blessed!
