Let the Beauty and Delightfulness and Favor of the Lord our God be Upon Us




Sometimes scripture says it ALL!! Pray and Declare these over your Family and Church.


Psalm 90:14-17
Amplified Bible (AMP)



 O satisfy us with Your mercy and loving-kindness in the morning [now, before we are older], that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.



 Make us glad in proportion to the days in which You have afflicted us and to the years in which we have suffered evil.


 Let Your work [the signs of Your power] be revealed to Your servants, and Your [glorious] majesty to their children.



 And let the beauty and delightfulness and favor of the Lord our God be upon us; confirm and establish the work of our hands—yes, the work of our hands, confirm and establish it.


And let the beauty and delightfulness and favor of the Lord our God be upon us; confirm and establish the work of our hands—yes, the work of our hands, confirm and establish it.

Psalm 122 Prayer

This is from Psalm 122. My spirit man was drawn to these verses. Alow The Holy Spirit to lead you today in prayer for Isreal and The Body Of Christ!



Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who love you.
Peace be within your walls,
Prosperity within your palaces.”



For the sake of my brethren and companions,
I will now say, “Peace be within you.”
Because of the house of the Lord our God
I will seek your good.
 
 
 
 
DESTINY!



There are some voices that are about to go out!
That will raise in The Body a Victory Shout!

 
The forces of darkness are shaking in fear!
They know that The Final Harvest is here!


Jesus Our LORD, has risen The Banner of His Word
The Power of His Spirit is about shake the nations of this world…


Jehovah is preparing, by calling His elect into The Light
So they can join His Army, and Engage in The Fight


From the North and the South:The East and The West
The called out ones are coming into their rest!


The voice of The Shepard, The Message of His Blood and The Truth of His Cross
Gleaning the Kings Garden, separating the Silver from The Dross


His name being Exalted, above all that would offend
As The Almighty, All Powerful God…His children He will DEFEND!


This is a battle of His Making and Choice
A separated time for The Triumphant Church to Overcome and Rejoice!


GLORY..GLORY..GLORY….
TO THE LORD, GOD ALMIGHTY!

The Ministry of Prayer





Lets start with our essential scripture verses for The Ministry of Prayer to, and for ,The Body of Christ Locally and Globally!!


Romans 8:26-28

Amplified Bible (AMP)


So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance.


And He Who searches the hearts of men knows what is in the mind of the [Holy] Spirit [what His intent is], because the Spirit intercedes and pleads [before God] in behalf of the saints according to and in harmony with God's will.

We are assured and know that {God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.


 I feel led by The Holy Spirit to re-emphasize these verses and plead with, whoever He may lead to read this, to take up this Ministry to your Local Church and The Body of Christ Globally.

My heart is assured that we have past a road marker of sorts, in The Spirit. More than any other time in the history of The Church, I believe the Ministry of Prayer as explained and revealed in the verse above is needed, is mandatory and is the call of every mature spirit filled Christian.

Our brothers and sisters in Christ need us. Our leaders need us. We are a family. We are an army and we are connected in a very real way both naturally and spiritually.

There are things that the enemy has sent his servants on assignment to accomplish, in order to disrupt Gods plan for His Children and The Church. There are Angels sent from heaven on assignment for God to bring His Plans and Purposes to pass.

In the middle of this battle is us, The Church! The enemy already has mankind in his grip. His focus is to keep them blinded and buffet the Church so we will lose real Faith in The Lord Jesus and His Word!

The outcome of The war is and has been already determined. However the outcome of the battles we are in now, and will be in soon, depends on The Ministry of Prayer! I will state that again.


The outcome of The war is, and has been, already determined. However the outcome of the battles we are in now, and will be in soon, depends on The Ministry of Prayer.



In closing I will say what I said in an earlier post. There is ALWAYS a part we play in receiving Gods promises. The above promise is no different!


"We are assured and know that [[a]God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose."


We must purposefully take up The Ministry of Prayer for The Local Church and The Body of Christ in The World.

We Must Stand for The WORD!!!! We Must Pray




We are at a cross roads in this nation. Not as a nation, but as The Church in this nation. This nation has chosen her path. Many churches have chosen to side with the enemy and the secular society that  we have become.

Many are asking, what the church can do. Many are still looking toward government and politicians to change things. What an error. How sad it is, that much of the church has become so political,so secular, so out of touch with The Spirit of God, that they are blinded to the most simple spiritual truths.

As I read several different post on a couple social media outlets, I was both troubled and encouraged. I was troubled that there are so many in the church, that claim to be spirit filled Christians, that have embraced the moral compass of a secular and sinful society. There seems to be a growing number of Christians that feel they can pick and choose what to believe in The WORD. Just as troubling, there are even more that feel that a politician or party will be this nations saving grace.

Here is a warning:We must know who we are. We must know The  Word. We must not mistake grace and love for lasciviousness and paganism. It is frightening how many Christians who claim to be spirit  filled, bible believing Christians have more of a pagan view point on sin and salvation.

We must pray. We must clearly define ourselves. We must clearly define what The Word says on the issues that are trying to taint The Church.

We must be on guard! We must not allow a pagan, secular spirit to poison The Church! We must pray and believe that The Spirit of God will heal OUR LAND..The CHURCH.

As a Watchman on The Wall, The Lord has revealed to me today the snare, and the enemy at the gates. But He has also revealed The Answer.

2 Chronicles 7:14

Amplified Bible (AMP)
14 If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.



And also this from a Brother in India: 
Prince Caleb Son

 Prayer,Hope

No ocean can hold it back.
No river can overtake it.
No whirlwind can go faster.
No army can defeat it.
No law can stop it.
No distance can slow it.
No disease can cripple it.
No force on earth is more powerful or effective
... than the power of prayer.
May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in you. Psalm 33:22

May we heed the warning and seek His Face. May we not allow what the mixture of Paganism and Filth did to the early church, do the same to the Church today. The enemy doesn't much mind religious organizations, he poisoned them long ago. He fears the Spirit Filled Church and wants to pervert it like he did once before. He fears a Church that knows the Word and is free from sin.

Be sober! Be on guard! Be vigilant!



Blind Faith, Untested Faith, Fare Weather Faith will not stand when you come to the place where it seems He will not come through, there will be no miracles, there will be no breakthrough. Some people say Raw Faith is needed, got to be a faith man!!! Sometimes I wonder if these people have ever been really tested.


The faith that is needed at this point is simple faith, when year after year has turned, season after season has changed, prayer after prayer seems to have fallen to the ground for yourself, yet have produced a harvest for others.


You have tried everything to change things. You have done all you know to do. You have gone over in your mind a million times what you could have done differently, what you did right,what you did wrong. Did you make God mad about something..did you miss it.


The only conclusion your natural mind can come up with is that He doesn't care. That those things that are precious to your heart,good things, deep things about family and life, that you have sown for and stood for, are not coming. So many can't come, the time has past, and nothing can bring that season back. So why bother???????


Why bother praying any longer for The Body? Why bother going to church? Why bother caring and praying for people that already walk in those things that are seemingly being with held from you.

There are many text book answers to these questions. Many will answer these questions with an answer that you have heard over and over. Some will say it is self focus, just look outside yourself, love others. All would be true, but none fill the void of those things that your heart longs for, that your soul needs.

So it comes down to just simple faith and three questions.


Is He Good?
Is He faithful?
Is His WORD True?


Yes. So we stand.


We may stand with many tears, but we stand.
We may stand and be angry, but we stand.
We may stand and be hurt, but we stand.
We may stand and feel rejected, but we stand!



He will come through! He does care! He is Faithful! He has a plan! He is full of Grace! He will bring it to pass!!!!
 
So.....Be sober! Be on guard! Be vigilant!
 
Your enemy will use apathy and disappointment to lead you to a state of backsliding and destruction.


Take heart you are in good company!!!!


2 Corinthians 4:8-10

Amplified Bible (AMP)



 We are hedged in (pressed) on every side [troubled and oppressed in every way], but not cramped or crushed; we suffer embarrassments and are perplexed and unable to find a way out, but not driven to despair;


 We are pursued (persecuted and hard driven), but not deserted [to stand alone]; we are struck down to the ground, but never struck out and destroyed;


 Always carrying about in the body the liability and exposure to the same putting to death that the Lord Jesus suffered, so that the [resurrection] life of Jesus also may be shown forth by and in our bodies.

Guard The Vision



An organization will take on the characteristics of its leader. It will draw people with like hearts and vision. This is also true for departments within an organization.


This is why it is so important for a leader to delegate leadership only to those with the same heart and vision. If not, as the organization grows, and more leaders are needed, the farther it will stray from the vision and heart that was given to its founder.


We see our landscape littered with denominations and institutions that, little by little, allowed the founders heart, and the vision God gave to them, to get swallowed up by other agendas and other visions.


Popularity won out over Gods vision. Financial numbers and goals won out over advancing into deeper things and more powerful experiences. Natural thinking won out over spiritual. Self protection, over advancement into uncharted territory.


It is of utmost importance that the founder and leaders of an organization guard and protect the vision and heart of that organization.

The path down a road that leads to it being lost is a gradual one and almost unnoticeable to those within it.

Declare--Repost!!!

When you feel like the children of Israel
Pressed against The Red Sea!

This is what the declaration
Of your mouth needs to be!


That Jesus Christ Is Lord, over all The Earth
And by His mighty hand, your deliverance will be birthed

He is your saviour, your God, your Lord
He is your Father, who is watching diligently over His WORD!

He loves you more, than your human heart can understand
He has paid the price, with His Blood, so you could inherit HIS Land!

He has given you all things freely
That pertain to this life

He has given you Faith and Joy
To replace Fear and Strife

There is only one thing that
You must be diligent to do

That is to open your mouth BOLDLY
And DECLARE HIS WORD TO BE TRUE!

Look at bondage
And declare I am free

Look at blindness
And declare I can see!

Look at fear
And declare I am full of Faith!

Look at depression
And declare strength for the race

Then look away from the problem
And to His Glorious Throne

For in Truth and in Spirit
That is your true Home

And say
I am not weak

But strengthened with ALL MIGHT
According To His POWER

I AM WAGING AND WINNING THE GOOD FIGHT!
I AM NOT SICK


BUT THE HEALED OF THE LORD
THE HEAD AND NOT THE TAIL


I HAVE FULL FAITH IN HIS WORD!
I AM NOT FULL OF SIN


BUT WASHED CLEAN BY THE BLOOD
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS MY HELPER


EVEN AS THE ENEMY IS COMING LIKE A FLOOD




So say with me, with a shout from your heart
Say it boldly, say it loud, tear the enemy's lies apart!

I am a child of Light
A new creature in Christ!

I am Born Again, Blood Bought
And full of Power and Might!

I am the head and not the tail
Above only and not beneath

I have on His Mighty Armour
His all powerful SWORD in my sheath

In Him, I stand strong
In Him, I stand Tall

For He who keeps me
IS LORD OF ALL

I AM FREE

I AM FREE

I AM FREE

AND IN HIM WILL FOREVER BE

The Holy Spirit/Tongues/Prayer and The Will of God

Romans 8:26-28
Amplified Bible (AMP)


So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance.


And He Who searches the hearts of men knows what is in the mind of the [Holy] Spirit [what His intent is], because the Spirit intercedes and pleads [before God] in behalf of the saints according to and in harmony with God's will.


We are assured and know that [[a]God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.




I don't think there is a better translation that brings out the revelation of these verses than The Amplified Bible. I chose to only post three verses, because the revelation is so deep,so profound that I want to be sure the reader grabs what The Lord is saying.

We have heard the verse over and over that says "All things work together  for good....", but is this always true, no matter what? Or, like with any promise of God, is there an essential part we must play?

First, all things don't just magically work together for good. You can choose to do many things, that will quite hinder you, and not work together for your good, can't you? Within yourself, you can't control all circumstances or other people.

What, and most importantly, Who does the scripture reveal, that is esessential to "All things working together for good..."

The revelation about the importance of the ministry of The Holy Spirit in a Believers life, in The Church and in the world on behalf of the Believer, is revealed mightily, not only in these verse, but in this entire chapter of Romans.

My friend you can pray from your mind. You can know The Word, you can be as religious as you like. But unless you are actively allowing God, through His Holy Spirit to partner with you in your labor of prayer, you are missing out on the promises of these verses. Not only for yourself, but your family, your church and your community.

I have stated it before, and without reservation I will state it here. If believers all across the planet, all of a sudden stopped praying in tongues, the foundations of the world would begin to fail, the foundations of government would begin to collapse. The enemy of God and man would reek havoc on The Church and mankind........

The only ministry, that is able to cause all things to work together for good, is The Ministry of The Holy Spirit partnering with the prayers and intercession of The Church on earth. This is how God causes His Will and Plan to come to pass on earth. This is how His purposes are accomplished.

This is why the verse says "who love God and are called according to HIS Purposes". The Church and an individual believer must be standing in a place of salvation and in a place where they have submitted themselves to Gods purposes. Then in that agreement, The Holy Spirit joins forces to cause Gods Plans and Purposes to be revealed and manifested on earth.

Don't limit what God can do through your effectual fervent, spirit filled prayer. He, right now, is asking you to join forces with him, and pray in the SPIRIT, PRAY IN TONGUES! If you have not been baptised in The SPIRIT with the evidence of speaking in tongues, then just ask The Father, and He will do so.

Allow Him to use you to bring His will to earth. Allow him to use your heart and voice to cause all things to work together for good, not only for you, but set your focus even higher, for The Church in The World!!!!!!



Acts 10:44-46
New King James Version (NKJV)
While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God.




Acts 19:3-6
New King James Version (NKJV)

  And he said to them, “Into what then were you baptized?”
So they said, “Into John’s baptism.”


  Then Paul said, “John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.”



  When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.



1 Corinthians 14:18
New King James Version (NKJV)
I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all;

Pray for Healing

The Body of Christ is in need of healing. There comes a time in the life of a believer that the Lord wants them to stand for healing, to stand for what belongs to them.

 
We can carry the scars and damage of past sin in our physical body. We can walk around with the remnant of brokenness and pain resonating in our body. Often times, we don't even realize how these things are holding us back, damaging our environment and the very people we are called to love.


The Lord loves us, is patient and merciful to us. However, we must, at one point, yield to His healing and delivering work in order to properly fulfill our mission and purpose.


There comes a day that He will lead us into a battle, that the outcome of ,will not only affect our destiny, but the destiny of others. A battle that will be presented to us as a clear choice, to fight, or not. To progress or not. To take ground or yield ground to our enemy.


So it is, with The Body of Christ, in this nation, right now. We have carried within The Lords Body, scars, pain, unforgiveness, resentment and hate, for far too long. The LORD will have none of it any longer. The Church is His Body, and He demands that those in His Body yield and allow Him to heal.


He is no longer content with allowing his Body to walk this nation broken, scarred, segregated, full of distrust and hate. He is no longer willing for His Body to be out of balance and unhealthy.


He is leading us into a battle of His Making. Many will have a clear choice, to choose healing or not. To fight or not. Those who choose to stand and be healed will enter into a glorious ministry of reconciliation and deliverance.


Those who choose to hold on to the brokenness, prejudice, pain and resentment will remain unhealed and be subject to the attack of hatred that is coming upon this nation. Trying to battle using natural means that are doomed to fail.


I see in The Spirit a new labor of prayer. A battle in prayer to drive out of The Body of Christ all that offends. So that she can be free and able to move unhindered. Yes, drive out prejudice and racism. Yes drive out materialism. Yes drive out the foul political Spirit that has gripped her. Yes drive out dead religion, doubt and unbelief.

Drive out every false doctrine, worthless debate and foolish babbling. So much to drive out, so little time. However what He has determined.....He shall accomplish.




2 Chronicles 7:14-16
Amplified Bible (AMP)



If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.


Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer offered in this place.


For I have chosen and sanctified (set apart for holy use) this house, that My Name may be here forever, and My eyes and My heart will be here perpetually.

To Those Who are Oppressed

I feel the years that brought the tears, and the resentment to your heart. I know the pain, of poverty's sting, that tears your hope apart!
 

I have within, my body scars, that I stand in faith for release. But we are redeemed, by The Blood of our God, who gave himself for our peace.
 

So we must love, those who hate, with the love of our King. We must turn from our ways, and healing He will bring!
