The Lord Has Declared It!!!










Isaiah 14:24-27

New King James Version (NKJV)


24 The Lord of hosts has sworn, saying,
“Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass,
And as I have purposed, so it shall stand:
25 That I will break the Assyrian in My land,
And on My mountains tread him underfoot.
Then his yoke shall be removed from them,
And his burden removed from their shoulders.
26 This is the purpose that is purposed against the whole earth,
And this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.
27 For the Lord of hosts has purposed,
And who will annul it?
His hand is stretched out,
And who will turn it back?”

An Exhortation, The WORD Then Prayer!!!!



Time to Pray!!!  Join me as we Call Forth Gods Will On Earth!!







Below are a couple of former post that explain the verses mentioned, in more detail.


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. 






Prayer/Tongues 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;

Great Confession When You "Take a Knee"



Great Confession When You "Take a Knee" (See previous post)


The Lord has given me Power and Authority of all the powers of Darkness.


I am filled, and anointed by God, with The Holy Spirit and Power, so that I can go about doing good and healing all who are harassed by the devil. I have been given the ability, power and authority to preach the good news to the poor, to proclaim to the captives that they are free, to lay hands on the sick and give sight to the blind, to cast devils out of and set free those who are oppressed and possessed.



I am a child of light!
A New Creature in Christ

I am Born Again,Blood Bought
And Filled with His Power and Might

Take A Knee!!!!



I watched a movie the other day that kind of bombed in The Box Office, but I liked a lot. It has some really great examples of how we can be led by The Holy Spirit and what to do when we seem to be under siege of the enemy and circumstances.

The Movie was "After Earth". I highly suggest it for every prayer warrior and person of faith. I don't want to give too much away for those who have not seen it, but I do feel led to mention two main aspects of the movie that we can use in our walk and our battles of faith.

One is how the main Character explains FEAR. How fear is an irrational thought of a future event that may or may not happen. That fear is a choice. Danger may be very real, but fear is a choice.

 He teaches the one he is watching over to be in the moment, not to think about what is ahead, or what may happen, but to know his surroundings now, and that takes me to the next, and most important thing we can learn from this movie:

Take a Knee.

He tells the one he is watching over that when he is getting scared, when danger seems to be overcoming him, when emotions are winning out, to Take A Knee, calm down, take an inventory of himself, is he injured, what tools and weapons does he have at his disposal, what are his immediate surroundings. Not his emotions, his feelings or anything else, but what he has right now in this moment.

How many of us would avoid so much trouble, if, when we are faced with danger, real or imagined, we took a knee, hooked up with The Holy Spirit and took inventory of what He has given us.

What mistakes would be avoided, what would we have not run from. In one part of the movie as the main character is watching his son run from something, he has to yell at him to Take A Knee..he yells "You are running from NOTHING, There is NOTHING chasing you! Take A Knee!"

I know there are many things in my past, that if I would have just taken a knee, hooked up with God, forgot about what I was feeling,being tempted by, afraid of, I would have not made so many mistakes.

If you haven't seen the movie watch it in this light. Next time temptation or fear tries to overtake you, just take a knee,TAKE AN INVENTORY OF WHAT HE HAS MADE YOU AND GIVEN YOU(Speak His Word) get quiet with God in PRAYER, and do just what He says.

Some of you need to hear this right now(I know I did)
Don't do anything out of fear or uncertainty of The Future.

So?

TAKE A KNEE SOLDIER!! You are a Kneeling Warrior!       To help you along your way. I want to recommend the two books that I think go great together for those walking the walk. Both are on the sidebar to the right.

Holding Pattern



 I haven't written anything in quite some time. I hope the videos are speaking to whoever still checks in here now and then.

I sense I am in a type of holding pattern, like when there is a back up of planes taking off from the airport. That is the picture I got in my spirit yeserday as I meditated on the last few weeks, and my, our future ahead. On the runway, in a holding pattern, waiting for our time to take off.

That is all I got today. God Bless The Body of Christ.

I leave you with this powerful chapter from ACTS......Until next time:



Acts 3

New Living Translation (NLT)

Peter Heals a Crippled Beggar

 Peter and John went to the Temple one afternoon to take part in the three o’clock prayer service. As they approached the Temple, a man lame from birth was being carried in. Each day he was put beside the Temple gate, the one called the Beautiful Gate, so he could beg from the people going into the Temple.  When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for some money.

 Peter and John looked at him intently, and Peter said, “Look at us!” The lame man looked at them eagerly, expecting some money. But Peter said, “I don’t have any silver or gold for you. But I’ll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk!”

 Then Peter took the lame man by the right hand and helped him up. And as he did, the man’s feet and ankles were instantly healed and strengthened. He jumped up, stood on his feet, and began to walk! Then, walking, leaping, and praising God, he went into the Temple with them.

 All the people saw him walking and heard him praising God. When they realized he was the lame beggar they had seen so often at the Beautiful Gate, they were absolutely astounded! They all rushed out in amazement to Solomon’s Colonnade, where the man was holding tightly to Peter and John.

Peter Preaches in the Temple

 Peter saw his opportunity and addressed the crowd. “People of Israel,” he said, “what is so surprising about this? And why stare at us as though we had made this man walk by our own power or godliness? For it is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—the God of all our ancestors—who has brought glory to his servant Jesus by doing this.

This is the same Jesus whom you handed over and rejected before Pilate, despite Pilate’s decision to release him. You rejected this holy, righteous one and instead demanded the release of a murderer. You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. And we are witnesses of this fact!

 “Through faith in the name of Jesus, this man was healed—and you know how crippled he was before. Faith in Jesus’ name has healed him before your very eyes.

 “Friends, I realize that what you and your leaders did to Jesus was done in ignorance. But God was fulfilling what all the prophets had foretold about the Messiah—that he must suffer these things. Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away.

Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah. For he must remain in heaven until the time for the final restoration of all things, as God promised long ago through his holy prophets. Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from among your own people. Listen carefully to everything he tells you.’ Then Moses said, ‘Anyone who will not listen to that Prophet will be completely cut off from God’s people.’

 “Starting with Samuel, every prophet spoke about what is happening today.You are the children of those prophets, and you are included in the covenant God promised to your ancestors. For God said to Abraham,

‘Through your descendants all the families on earth will be blessed.’ When God raised up his servant, Jesus, he sent him first to you people of Israel, to bless you by turning each of you back from your sinful ways.”
