NOVEMBER 2012

It always goes back to the Cross. xo

Jesus, I want to know You, really know You. I learned about intimacy today, (something I'm embarrassed to say I never learned about before). I want to build a deep, forever relationship with You. I want to spend time with You, talk with You, go on long walks with You, do things together. I want to laugh with You, cry with You, share secrets with You, dream with You. I'm not interested in a quick, 
feel-good-for-a-moment thing. I'm not after what You can 'give' me. You already gave me eternal life, and I want to build that lifetime with You. I want to go places with You, share life with You. Jesus, You're everything I've ever searched for and I don't want to forfeit one single moment because I'm inpatient. If anyone was ever worth slowing down for, it's You. I know You're not in any hurry, and I just realized...neither am I. I love You.. thank You for loving me.





I AM a daughter of the King. That MEANS something, here, right now, today...that has VALUE. This IS my identity. This determines every aspect or area of my life.
If there is anything that presents CONTRARY to this Truth, then I have a choice of how I align myself.
Nothing, not one single thing, can keep me from my PLACE and POSITION in God's Kingdom, I have been fully RESTORED by the Blood of the Lamb, and that CANNOT be undone.
I leave my peasant clothes in the garbage and dress in His Glory, His Power, His Grace, and His Love.





What is your heart responding to...?
When I say:
"well, I wouldn't behave this way if this thing hadn't happened to me"
OR
"if this person didn't treat me this way, then I wouldn't react like this"
then I'm giving that 'thing' or 'person' power and control over me. I'm giving something else permission to determine how I think, feel, and act.
BUT..
If I know God is good ALL the time, and I believe in my heart that He defines who I am, then NOTHING has power over me and everything I am responds from His Love.





Jesus WILL be glorified through your life.





You're not as fragile as you think you are.





Jesus didn't tell us to pray for the sick... He said to go HEAL the sick.





Jesus is in the restoration business...and that means so am I. 





Is your identity in your crisis... or in your Christ?





O God, let Your Voice be louder than anything else I hear; let Your Glory be brighter than anything else I see; may Your Heart-beat be all that I feel and Your Presence be more tangible than any worldly thing. Daddy God, I'm so thankful that I've been saved...but to be honest, heaven is not what I'm after...I need You, today, right here, right now. Jesus, I don't want to think ABOUT You, I want to think WITH You.
You alone are my hiding place, my resting place. Holy Spirit, have Your way with me.





God, You're not a means to an end... You ARE the end. You know the needs we have, but what I'm hungry - starving for - is a deeper awareness of You, to be with You face-to-face, to inhale Your breath...to be fully alive in You. I have been shallow and selfish sometimes when we talk. I hear myself sometimes saying "I really need..." or "please if You could just do..." I do not know what's best f
or me. (a big part of me would like to think I do, but I don't). You alone know what's best for me. My significance is not found by any skill or talent I have nor am I defined by my accomplishments (no matter how genuine). I am defined by You. I don't want to play games and I don't want to be sidetracked. Take me up into You, Lord! In all things, let me see Your glory! Keep my eyes in Your hand - Protect me, keep me, make me, take me! Open my eyes to see the fullness of You! You know my heart, O God... Hide me in You.





Nothing (no THING) can keep The Lord from saving.

OCTOBER 2012

Jesus, I'm so happy You are Lord of my life... I just couldn't do it any other way!

You are Spirit-led and Spirit-filled. You belong to Jesus. No one can take you from Him. By choosing Jesus in every situation, you can trust you are right where He wants you. Your confidence is in Him. Anything coming against you must leave. All voices that don't belong to the Spirit of the Almighty God must be quiet right now. You hold an anti-harassment order AND a no-contact order against all agents of darkness, signed and sealed by the Blood of the Lamb. You are loved, protected, and free!


All that I am, I am by the grace of God.


Oh, Father God... I am just a little woman, with a very little life. I cannot boast about one single thing. I have no scholarly credentials, no earthly authority... I don't posses much and I don't make much. But I have a heart that is full and complete in Christ and I hear Your call. Apart from You, I can do nothing. But I am a vessel... Your vessel to fill and move through. I empty myself o

f anything and everything so that only You fill me... only You come out of me. If You can use this very little me, O Father, I delight in whatever place You send me, in whatever way You choose to use me. Please make me flexible, with Your perfect Hands, make me pliable to fit Your design. On earth, I have nothing... but God, Father, in You I have everything. I have Your Son and He has me. He stops for the one... He stopped for me. I am a very little woman, with a heart full of Christ, and with Him I will stop for the one.


Jesus moved from love... never from fear, always from love. He prayed from love. He healed from love. He spoke from love. He died from love. ...and He was raised from love.

...you can't give someone what you don't have... you can't teach someone what you haven't experienced to be true.
Jesus, I pray for each and every one of us to have a personal encounter with You! Amen.


Even amidst our suffering, confusion, pain or distress, there is great joy and certainty that this problem... this situation that grieves you or me... it is not the final word on the matter. I can praise Him who has SEEN the Victory that my hope rests in.
"I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered the world.” (John 16:33)


God, I pray I be consumed by Your forgiving heart.


I believe faith requires risk.
He gave His whole self for me, I give nothing less than my whole self to Him.


When you feel secure in who you are...and Whose you are, then your worth and your value will come from Jesus...


What if...when we go into our place of employment, we weren't trying to earn a paycheck...but rather we choose to be there to BLESS our employer and their patrons...


Jesus, I pray for Your Person to manifest through me at my place OF employment. I am only moved by heaven, and I'm here not in lack, but from abundance. I pray for a mindset shift, make me think like You - for I have the mind of Christ - that I'm not trying to earn something by my performance, but that I'm choosing (volunteering even) to be here to GIVE something. This is my missionfield. Be through me all that I'm not on my own. These are Your people, the ones You love, the ones You came for..reveal Yourself through me.


Let Your Body be mobilized, O God! Jesus is STILL here to set the captives free... manifest through us, move through Your community, Your city. Take us, use us, BE us, Jesus. We repent from our selfish pride. Make us the vessels You designed us to be. Do whatever You think is right... we surrender our own assessment God, our thinking is short-sighted and flawed. Open our eyes, Father God, that we might be consumed by Your Kingdom, that we might rest in Christ Jesus, the hope of glory!


'But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.' (Thank You Jesus!!) 2Cor 3:16
'Now, the Lord is Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord IS, there is FREEDOM.' (Hallelujah!!) 2Cor 3:17
'And we ALL, who with UNVEILED faces contemplate the Lord's glory, are being TRANSFORMED into His image with ever-INCREASING glory, which comes from the Lord, who IS the Spirit.' 2Cor 3:18
God, You are SO good to us!! Thank You for opening our eyes as we turn to You!


Laying in bed, watching the rain blow sideways..
God, make me like the rain that I move with Your breath and water the land You choose.


Move over me, Holy Spirit, like a rushing river. Shape me like moving waters smooth a stone. In You, I am a treasure.


Father God, don't ever let me forget Your Majesty! I can't even begin to comprehend the depths of my prayer, none-the-less, the one thing I know is that You are God... and I am not. Oh! my mind is racing with every foul word I've ever said. Every memory of everything prideful thing I've done... every attempt at my own salvation. Even my own efforts to end my misery... I do not determine the number
 of my days. God, I did not trust You. O God, my heart aches... I want to swallow every shallow word that has come from my mouth. There is no strength in me independent of You. I cannot stand on my own. Whatever the cost, I answer You. Here I am, Lord. I am Your child and I know Your voice, like the sheep do a Shepard. Hear my 'yes' Daddy God! Only through Your Son do I speak with any boldness what-so-ever. Pay attention to my heart, Father... it is by Your design. I cannot stand against You, I get lower... lower still. Pierce me again, Lord Jesus... I give You my ear. I choose to serve You. Who am I to say what that looks like. I hear Your voice and I answer again and again - hear I am, God.


I will stop for the One who stopped for me.

For most of my life, I've found myself saying "whoever you want me to be, I can be that." I have even found myself saying that to my Father, God.
Until one day He said back to me "it's not about being who I want you to be...it's about being who I MADE you to be."


If its not God-sent, it IS God-used -
We know that ALL things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28 HCSB)
Speak to your situation. Claim God's truth over it. Declare your outcome, in Jesus name. Refuse distress, distraction, and discontentment. You are called. You are chosen. You are justified. You are glorious. You are victo
rious. ALL in Christ Jesus. Bad reports can not stop you. Negative situations or circumstances will not move you. Confusion must leave. Take the Christ-given authority over your life and your family. Agree outloud with the plans He has for you - to prosper you and not to harm you. 


You have favor. You are protected. You are loved. You are a child of God.

I like the rain because it washes the dirt away and at the same time it nourishes causing growth.
God, rain on me.


you're His favorite ♥

Daddy God, who are we to tell You what is good and what is not. You are the Most High, You are Ruler, You are Creator. Your wisdom is Infinate and we cannot comprehend. You are always good, right, and perfect. Have Your way with us, O God. Do whatever You think is right. Whatever it takes, I cry out not only for myself, but for all of Your children. Shape us, make us, refine and define us. Jesus, 
my Lord, my Savior, my Friend...I come to You. I hide in You. I am alive by You. Take me with You as You GO to set all the captives free. Holy Spirit, fill us, teach us Your ways. Train us, equip us. Deliver us, O Father God. I stand and watch and share with You. I pray for us, Your children. Forgive us our thinking. Meet us here, break the chains and barriers that hold us back. Pour out Your love, consume us with Your fire, posses us with Your Spirit. Breathe in us a new breath. Wash us, cleanse us, grow us. Prune the vine. Call our name. Bring great joy and vision to sustain the journey. Create in us a new song that we shower You with praise anew. Leave no stone unturned in us God. We are a blank canvas - paint Your Story on us. Hear me, feel me... take this weight of Your people. Show us the fullness of Your glory...meet us face-to-face. You alone are The Lord our God. Your will be done, Your Kingdom come, Almighty God, on earth as it is in heaven. Your will. Your will. Amen.

SEPTEMBER 2012

What would happen if we were all radical lovers of Jesus... What would it look like if He was the one Person we pursued... What if He was more important than our job or career, more important than the things we buy, more important than sports (even football)... What if we were intentional about experiencing Him in every single thing we do. What would it look like to be IN LOVE with Jesus...? What if I treated Him like He really is my soulmate ♥

Nothing on the OUTSIDE can move me 'cause I have the Spirit of God on the INSIDE! Amen!

I speak peace into your life, right now, in Jesus name. There is a divine peace resting on you and in you. I refuse the spirit of confusion. Stress is lifting off you right now. Start speaking some things into your situation. Fear, you have to go. Anxiety, you have to go. Shame, you must leave. Doubt, you have to leave right now in Jesus name. Love comes down... Love comes down and fills ...
that void. I call forth release... release from poverty into Kingdom wealth. Released from slavery into sonship through Christ. Released into blessing. Shackles and chains are being broken right now. Focus is being shifted... you are not defined by your circumstances. Bill collectors can't move you. What a person says about you can't move you. What your boss or your co-workers say about you can't move you. Discord in your family can't move you. I declare peace and a rest for you, in Jesus name. I refuse any bad report sent to worry, distract, or detain you... it is return-to-sender right now. You are free. You are a son of the Most High God. You are a daughter of the Holy One. You have been judged and found clean through the Blood of Christ. You are loved. You are victorious though Jesus. You approach the Throne with a boldness given to you by the Spirit of God IN you. Refuse, right now, to surrender to anything less than Kingdom. I break any and all agreements with that which comes from this world. The truth of a thing is unveiled right now. Eyes are being opened. You've been given the mind of Christ. Your circumstances are shifting. Your mindset is shifting. You're remembering who you are and Whose you are. Nothing that comes against you will prosper. You are pre-destined, chosen, selected by God Himself for His plan and purpose. His Word will NOT return to Him void. Rise up! Rise up! Rise up, in Jesus name, as the ambassador you are. Speak peace and hope into your life, right now. Speak life into your family. Speak Truth into your situation. Jesus, you ARE King of kings and Lord of lords. You ARE worthy. You ARE holy. ...and all of God's children said AMEN.
 
What is the point of debating doctrine..?
It would be silly to come up to me and tell me I can get to know my dad better if I subscribe to a certain theology about him... he's my dad, right..? I know him by experience. I was raised by him.
In the same way, I don't need to get caught up in a debate about God. He's my Dad..and I know my Dad ♥ I recognize Him. I trust Him. If I have a question, I just ask Him. Thank You Daddy God for loving me so, for hanging out with me and having fun, for teaching me Your Truth, for picking me up when I fall down, and for guiding me in everything. I love You!
 
Worry and doubt are destroyers. I can acknowledge my own limitations yet be confident in His limitless. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 Believe for your future. Believe for His promises in your life. Believe His work on the cross was enough. Believe who He says you are. Believe for your family. Believe for your community. Declare Truth into your life. Speak the promises of God. Believe for it.
 
My God, who is Love; who is Peace; who is Justice; who is Grace. I lay my heart before You now. Re-arrange me to reflect You in all that I am and all that I do.

Honestly, God, I don't know the 'right' way and the 'wrong' way to do things. Sometimes I think I do, but then I encounter You in some situation that challenges me, and I'm humbled.  Jesus...as long as it points to You..as long as we're... turning our face to Yours...as long as we're searching Your Heart to align ours, then I don't care what method or vision...I don't care what path is used, as long as it leads to more of You.  You, Jesus, are the Way. You came to set the captives free. O God, I pray for eyes opened, I pray for ears to hear, I pray for chains to be broken and doors to be opened, right now, that we might realize by divine revelation that we ARE free.  Free from rules. Free from the 'letter of the law' (in all the masks it wears). Free from tradition. Free from deception... Free to peace. Free to love. Free to truth. Free to creativity. Free to be relevant, as You are, to today.  Whatever You need to do God, do it! We are desperate for a King like You, Jesus. We are starving for a Savior. Whatever it takes. Whatever the cost. We're reckless for You. Almighty God, Lover of Your creation, teach us to follow You, to do as You do, not by what we read or what we hear but by walking hand-in-Hand with You.
 
You know.. I always thought I was made to be used for something... and I just realized God made me to be enjoyed.
 
I say to you..there is a calling on your life... I'm calling you to come into My Presence. Remember that I go before you and also go with you. In all things, remember Me.
 
Have Your way with us God.. have Your way. I lay me down at Your feet. My lungs burn for Your breathe. I am Your clay and I delight in Your hands. Here I am God, have Your way.
 
..a big part of prayer is listening..
 
Freedom requires risk.
 
I submit to you that I know nothing. I am foolish and haven't a clue which is the 'right way' or the 'wrong way'. There are so many theologies, so many ideas..and we are so creative, it's not a difficult thing to find someone to agree with 'our' way of thinking.
...but I do know a Person. And without concerning myself with rules, I find myself in love with Him. A very reckless, very intimate, all-consuming love. He's become what defines me. Without Him, I become immobile. I can't eat, can't sleep, can't think. I'm completely lost without Him. When we're together, I'm giddy, I smile and laugh and stare deeply into His Eyes. Yes, I confess I don't know a thing... but I know the Man who is the Lover of my heart, and in Him all thing suddenly make perfect sense...and I'm going to spend the rest of my life with Him, forever and ever.
 
Jesus is pro-people. Period.
He's not pro-everyTHING, but He is pro-everyONE.
God, teach us the difference between a person and their behavior. I want to love how Jesus loves.. You separated me from my behavior, You loved me in spite of the things I did and the choices I made. You continue to lovingly correct me. You never disregard me. Open our eyes, Daddy God, to see that Your Son died for AL...
L people, including those who killed Him, let us become as You are, separating behavior from identity, that we can see as You see: the person, Your creation, and love them back to You. Teach us to say "hey, I know you..you're God's kid! I know your Dad!" to every person regardless of their race, creed, type of employment, political view, lifestyle, gender, age, etc.. All of us are Your elect. We're all One Family in Jesus Christ! Thank You, Father God, for this is Your Kingdom:)
 
Resolved: that the longer couples are together and the more time they spend around each other the more they start to look like each other...
Jesus, I want to be conformed to Your image. I want to spend all my days and all my nights with You. I want to spend forever with You...and that when anyone looks at me, they see You. You are my only desire. My deepest passion. Anything else I do, I want to do it all with You.
 
..it doesn't come from effort, performance, or agenda...it comes from love. Healing comes from the In-dwelling Love that is Jesus.
He resides in me, His love for you builds up from within me causing me to love you, so He can come through me to you.
I can't manufacture that. I can't obtain or achieve that kind of love. It comes from Him residing in me as I abide in Him - a never ending tango with my One True Love.
 
Tens of thousands of people in other countries don't know Jesus by the written word - its illegal for them to have a Bible - the know Him by His Presence... they know the Person.
God, the One above all things, we are so easily distracted..even by religious or spiritual things. I can't be without You. I won't settle for an interpretation of history. I won't settle for information. If I don't real...
ize that You're RIGHT HERE with me, than all my reading is useless. I don't want to read for the sake of learning. I want to read as is I'm listening to Your voice. When I'm in church, I don't want to see the preacher, open my eyes that I see You, hear You. When I eat, let me realize it's You who provided the meal, You who cooked the meal, and You who eats with me. Jesus, there is truly no one who is more alive and real than you. There is no relationship more complete than one with You. I know that I'm in You and You're in me - I pray for deeper revelation to see that You're 'right here, right now' always. I love You so much!! I'm so glad You're so patient. You don't need to be, but it's Your nature. Take me to a new place in You where You're Presence is all I see. Amen
 
I don't "have God"... God has me.
 
We so selfishly take for granted that we have the opportunity to make a "choice" about God... there are people who have never even heard of Jesus or His love... but when someone dares to introduce them to this Person, they risk their life to share this good news.
Oh! We are so blind with all this 'independence' in the 'American dream' that we don't see the bondage we're in... we turn our backs to True Freedom in Christ - because we're addicted to our own selfish pursuits. It amazes me that some of the poorest people in the world are more free, more happy than we are - unlike many of us, they knew how desperate they were for a Savior, and no substitute would do. No dream was worth having if they weren't dreaming with Jesus.
 
Authenticity
 
Wreck us God. Strip us down, remove the things we protect ourselves with. Your Presence is so thick and heavy, sometimes we feel we might crumble under it. That's ok! Let us fall! I don't want to stand in Your Presence, I want to lay at Your Feet. Open our eyes, Daddy God. Let us experience You in a way we can't possibly imagine. O! Father! I pray my face hits the floor at the revelation of Your g...
oodness, Your graciousness, Your greatness and Your glory! What am I justifying? What are my excuses? Show me my shallowness so that I might go deeper in You. Convict us O God. Do not hide our eyes any longer. I don't want to pretend, I don't want to lie to myself. I don't want to use You as a means to an end. You ARE the end. You are the reason. You alone are what I live for and die for. It's You Jesus. It's only You. Take me captive, my Lord, I choose to be Your slave. Take me, all of me, shape me, make me, mold me in Your powerful Hands, breathe into me Your sweet Breath. I want to inhale You. Consume us Father God - let Your Spirit blow, like the Mighty Wind. Deliver us from those things we once made agreements with. We can't shake it on our own. We need Your Spirit to cleanse us, purify us. We choose You! Like clay in Your Hands, we have no motive. We delight in Your ways. Touch me in a way that only You can. I am in awe of You. I love You Jesus! Take me.. Do with me what You will. I am Yours.
 
I love these quiet mornings when I can sit back and have coffee with my One True Love:)
 
What if our prayers were a little less "please give me" and a little more "God, thank You for.."
 
Jesus, I don't have a lot to say, You leave me speechless. I am blessed beyond measure... I could never in my wildest dreams have imagined that it was possible to feel this clean, to have so much love inside me aching to go out to people I don't know. I'm consumed by Your perfect heart. You are my passion... to die for You and live with You... in You I am complete. To imagine Your fullness makes me dizzy, for I know that I know nothing, but yearn to see the fullness of Your glory. You are the One - the only One. Absolute. Eternal.
 
It's a fine line between being responsible and being prideful.
 
I was taking a shower, getting ready for work and the Black-Eyed Peas came on and I started singing and dancing, really enjoying the music and God spoke: Jesus endured the cross for the JOY that was set before Him. Joy is the currency of heaven.
Prayer, burdens, intercession is given to us to see THROUGH to the promise of God, to reach into heaven, grab that joy, and pull it back here on earth. I pray for the restoration of JOY in your life!
 
 I am a piece of evidence of the love of Christ.
 
Jesus, we need You in every way. I am so tired of getting in the way. Even with the best intentions of my heart, I still insist on 'trying'. I'm completely blinded by ,my own efforts to live up to what I think You should expect from me. You're asking me for a residence... a resting place in me. You say my body is Your temple, and I mess that up by "trying" to treat in the best way... if only ...
I would let you take up residence IN me, then You can do all the remodeling and 'decorating' You see fit. I fail to see that there are some things I try to remove, when in fact those are some of Your favorite features. Jesus, You are Lord of my lie. I submit to You now, that I surrender my life to death that I might participate in Your resurrection. Please come in... make myself Your home. No matter how hard I try, regardless of my good intentions, I cannot do the amazing things that You do, nor can I fulfill any single dream. You give me all the desires of my heart, so I ask You to come and be me, through me, together in tandem, completely submerged into each other, BE me. Amen.

AUGUST 2012

He thinks I'm worth dying for... I think it's time we started to see the value in us that God sees in us that He sent His Son for us... and that when we look at another, we only look through the Blood of Christ...
"When they persisted in questioning Him, He stood up and said to them, 'The one without sin among you should be the first to throw a stone at her.'" John 8:7
I can't afford to see things outside of His Blood ♥


Everywhere I go, I recognize I am walking on (standing on) Holy ground, for wherever I go You go (Christ in me), and wherever You are is Holy.

Pressure is part of the process... when wheat is harvested, it is dried out, reaped (cut/gathered), threshed (beaten) to remove the chaff (enclosure), washed (to seperate impurities), tempered (toughened), cracked, ground, and sifted...all before it is usable to make bread. 
Don't be frustrated with the pressure or pain of whatever you're going through... you're being prepared to be used to make bread, which will be used to help feed the hungry and starving. 
Watch Me and know that I am God. Where I am taking you, you have never been. Dream bigger, dream with Me.
"Do not remember the past events, pay no attention to things of old. Look, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it?..." Isaiah 43:18-19
 
It is just so amazingly awesome that the God we serve is also our Daddy that we love ♥
 
"Jesus did not talk about the love of God based on what He knew from reading Scriptures. Although a person with great insight and deep longing to understand the words of God can receive the same revelation of the goodness of the Father, Jesus' revelation did not simply come from studying the words of God, but from an intense personal experience." -Leif Hetland
 God wants interaction with His kids.
 
An idol is anything we look to instead of God for Living Water. Where am I placing my affections? What am I counting on to give my life meaning?
 
Jesus, You quench my thirst... by the Living Water I am refreshed... in You, I lack nothing.
 
God is asking you to interact WITH Him... to sing with Him, to play with Him, to dance with Him, to dream with Him, to create with Him... to work WITH Him (rather than for Him). He is calling His children home. Knowing who we are in Christ, knowing our position in the Family, gives us the freedom to particiapte in the Family Business (doing the work of the Father) as His sons and daughters.
 
I will not be moved by my circumstances. I will only be moved by the Presence and Heart of God.
 
A friend of mine was sharing with me about a very popular novel series she was reading... she said that reading it, she felt she was in a relationship with the main character. I thought wow. What would it look like, then, if we read the Bible (the Story of God) and felt like we were in a relationship with Him. ♥
 
"We're not doing the gospel much justice when we walk past people...the world's trash is God's treasure." -Todd White
 
On the cross, Jesus cried out “It is finished.” Imagine yourself shouting back “ Not quite. I need to finish the job. I still need to win God’s blessing." -Tim Chester
Are we worried that the work of the cross isn't enough? Are we unsure if we are included in that? What is the motive behind our behavior? What does it mean to strive? Are we trying to earn something? a paycheck? friendship? love? ...
approval? Do we believe His love is enough... and if it is, does anything else truly matter?
Jesus, we're seeking, searching, watching... show us what Your Love looks like... make Your Love more than words or a picture... take each one of us into a revelatory experience that we can personally see what this Love looks like. We can only share what we have personally experienced and we are called to love the world. Love looks like something. Grace looks like something. You, Jesus... You look like something. Open our eyes that we might see Your fullness! ♥ That we each might see what You look like.
 
When is it ever the wrong time to pray with someone...?
 
Healthy honorable confrontation begins with our acknowledging that there is such a thing.
 
Daddy God, I have been searching all my life to find out what I was created for... I'm so excited to be able to see it now. I have been created for You... by You. There is no greater reason, no greater purpose, no greater calling than to be chosen by You, to be in love with You, to learn Your heart and Your ways, to be taught by You, to be sent by You.... to be alive by Your very breath, to be c...
overed by Your blood... Nothing compares, Jesus... absolutely nothing compares to You. Nothing can even compete with You. You are above it all and for You and to You I give all of me and everything that comes with me... my self, my things, my family, my friends, my finances, my heart, my mind. It's a triffle, really, but it's all I have and I lay it all down...
I belong to You, nothing else will do. You are my One reason, You are the hope of glory. I am completely Yours, even the parts of me that I'm unaware of. Consume me, O God. Mark me. You are my One Love and I choose to be Yours.
 
I pray God's will be done and that any/all heavenly agents that are moved by His command be released, right now, to complete their assignment, in Jesus Name, for you, for me, for all those who have been sent into our lives, for our leadership, and for every heart that God calls as His. Amen.
 
Through blindness there is sight, through deaf ears comes hearing, from death there is life. Healing comes to those who realize they are afflicted. How can I have my eyes opened if I believe I can already see? How will I realize that my deafness has been healed if I think I hear clearly? How can one experience a resurrection unless there is first death...?
 
Take me, break me, burn me, consume me, shape me, mold me, use me O God!
 
I am covered, bathed, and clothed in the Blood of Jesus.
 
Worship is a lifestyle of remembering.  Luke 22:19
 
If worship is a lifestyle, remembering is a lifestyle, and repentance is a lifestyle, then repentance defines remembering, which defines worship.
 
We were given the spirit of self-control, not others-control. Galatians 5:22-23
 
O Daddy God, I'm thankful for You this morning, Your day. You alone are my Breath, in Your Hands I rest, in the fullness of You I reside.
Lord God, show us Your glory today, take us yo that new place in You, that our eyes may be opened in a new understanding of Your grace, Your goodness, Your greatness, and Your glory.
Heavenly Father, bring us into the Garden this morning... show us a glimps ...
of Your Kingdom that we might see that we are fully hidden in You. Reveal our hearts that we may turn from the lies of the world, dig deep into our depths, remove that which is unpleasant to You and replace the emptiness with Your truth.
May Your will be done here on earth as it is in heaven. Release Your heavenly agents on assignment this morning that their mission issued by You alone may be fulfilled. Thank You, Jesus, for being Lord over us.
 
Jesus and I worked out together this morning... What would happen if I acted as if Jesus were actually WITH me in EVERYTHING I did... ♥
 
♥ ...the moment when reading the Word turns into an intimate conversation with God Himself ♥
 
All of me is in love with all of You ♥ bound and wound together for all eternity. You defeated separation, You found me, rescued me, never to be apart again. I am so in love with You, I'm wrapped up in You, I'm filled with Your essence, Your breath fills my lungs. My heart beats Your rhythm, my mouth speaks Your words, I am consumed by Your passion. I pray Your every desire come forth, in Your Holy Name. It's You, and You alone ♥
 
You cannot outrun the Hand of God - the warmth of His Embrace will surely find you. His Light searches the darkest of dark to find the one He loves.

JULY 2012

I pray for the Purpose of God to come forth over every life, every circumstance, every place - in Jesus Name ♥
Come, Holy Spirit, come.

Gracious God, hear my cry.. Take this heaviness from me, take me up into Your Peace that I might be renewed and refreshed in You.
My sleep is restless and troubled, my voice is weak, my mind is busy and my heart is overwhelmed.. there is no measure I could take, no place I could search here on earth that can give me what I seek for You are the Lord my God, my Savior, my Bread of Life, my Living Water. You are eternal and IN You I find rest - You are Peace.

"If I'm letting you wrestle with it, then I have equipped you for it. Keep your eyes on Me, I am leading the way."
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to humanity. God is faithful, and He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation He will also provide a way of escape so that you are able to bear it. (1 Corinthians 10:13 HCSB)

God, let me learn to be multi-lingual as You are.

I submit the Blood covenant of the Cross as final Authority against all earthly issues and declare release from Heaven - in Jesus Name

If this is where You've called me to, then this is where I'll be and I delight in You in all things... for who am I, at all, to presume to know what's good for me or to judge circumstances by my limited experience. I cannot afford to have one single thought in my mind that is not in Yours. You, alone, are God, my Lord, my Savior, my Friend, my Counselor, my Dad.

We are not fighting for victory, we're fighting FROM Victory.
Assume our posture IN a place of Victory, pursue life on these terms as we learn how wealthy we truly are according to God and His Kingdom...and the only thing we truly lack is confidence in His declaration "it is finished."

God, Your Glory! Your Presence! Your Goodness! Your Love! ...to spend my life adoring You is to be in the Highest Place... Sweet Jesus! My God! ♥

I declare eternity as the only acceptable definition for anything, in Jesus Name

Jesus IS the blueprint ♥

I kneel firmly in the place God has set my feet

God, come to us as You did Adam and Eve - let us walk in the Garden with You, once again, in the cool of the day, with no shame and no fear. By Your Son, Jesus Christ, You have restored us to our original place with You - but we are ignorant, Lord, and continue to justify and strive for our own sakes. Forgive us, O God, for our foolishness. Come, Holy Spirit, teach us the truth that we might shed ourselves for Your sake. Confront and convict us of our true identity in You as Your children that we might know and believe...You have graciously and abundantly provided for us in EVERY way. Use us to show the nations how You lavishly love!

God shows up EVERYWHERE! He reveals Himself in the most magnificant ways and also the most subtle... His Glory was unavoidable this entire trip leaving me quiet most of the time... and, for me, His Beauty, His Power, His Brilliance coming from all directions (from the smallest conversations to the laughter of a friend to the breath-taking landscapes -... all His Creation) overwhelmed me with reassurance: God is absolutely in control, in ALL things and He LOVES us! He woos us, pursues us, amazes us. *God's gotta take some things in order to bring some things.*
Daddy God, take it all. You created it all. It's all from You and I'm entitled to nothing. You lavish us with Your Love, Glory, and Grace and humbly we remain in Your Presence. All that You've given me I give right back to You, for You are my God - my Dad. My trust (my truth) is in You alone. Thank You for loving us so!
 
In the midst of a 'process' focus on the Promise.
 
With God, there are no strings attached.
 
You, Daddy God, are the source of it and You will see to it. I relinquish ownership - God, I surrender.
 
God has known who I am my whole life. He has known the mistakes I would make, the dealings I would entertain, and not once was He afraid. Not once did He say "oh no, she has disqualified herself from position in My Kingdom"... through every detail, every moment in my life, Daddy God knew me even when I didn't and considered me qualified, justified, and righteous through the Blood of Jesus. Through every mess I've made in my life, God never once considered the option of me not being His daughter. He marked me from eternity as His and has brought me through it all to fulfill the purpose He pre-destined for me. This is the grace of God.
 
As we seek God, sometimes He will wait until the very last moment to speak... simply because He enjoys spending more time with His children.
 
To move forward, to grow in Christ, we come to a place where we embrace the process that God puts us through. Whatever we value (outside of God Himself) is removed so that we can see Him clearly, coming into further alignment with His will. Then we are able to receive the assignment as we are now in focus, and can therefore be trusted with that assignment.
 
The Father finds it hard to understand why many legitimate heirs behave like slaves.
 
God is SO good!! He is faithful, complete, true, and most of all... He's our Daddy!
I keep seeing this 'clip' of Him, our Dad, doing important work. We, His children, are tugging at His coattails saying "Daddy, what are You doing?? I wanna see... Teach me too! I wanna help! I am Daddy's helper. Pick me up so I can see what You're doing..."
And then these big strong arms come down and pick us up, as He gently explains His business, and gives us something to do to help under His guidance and His supervision.
 
Jesus, let me see my reflection in Your Eyes ♥ show me who I am in Your Shadow, synchronize the beating of my heart with the rhythm of Yours ♥ wash me in the Oil of Your Love
 
Look into Jesus' face, as tho it were a mirror, find your reflection there. ♥
 
Father in Heaven, I pray for increase in our understanding. I pray that words are no longer reduced to just words, but that we feel Your Breath pushing life into us. We continue to make agreements with things, small and big, that are inconsistent with Your Truth. Show us that we are fully dead, we died with Christ. We are a new creature, by Your Hand ALL things are made new. Teach us not to raise ...
the dead, digging up the past which You have destroyed. We have been restored/repositioned back to Eden, in every way born again. We are fully new. I pray for an eye-opening, wake us UP! Any thought that reduces Truth in any way is a lie. Any report that challenges Your Goodness is false. Daddy God, I pray we run to You for wisdom. We are desperate for You, but we don't even know it. May we see all things how You see: PAST our past, all the way back to how You designed us, back to the very Beginning. Teach us what it truly looks like to be sons and daughters in Your Family. I pray we start living from a place of provision and that we understand what that means. Forgive us, O Lord. Open our eyes that we might know the fullness of Your Glory. In Jesus Name, I humbly pray.
 
I became unclean so you could be clean.
I became lies so you could walk in Truth.
I became illness so you could be in full health.
I became ugly so you could be beautiful.
I became hate so you could be love.
I became poor so you could be wealthy.
I took your distraction so that you might be focused.
I became blind so that you can see.
I became tired that you might find rest.
I took punishment so you could be excused.
I became death that you would have life.
I am the Tree of Eternal Life, whoever eats from Me shall live.
 
"My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work," Jesus told them. John 4:34
 
Lord Jesus, You are the One..the only One. I bow before Your Feet, O Lord. I submit and surrender my whole self to You God, my eyes - let me see Your fullness, my ears - may I know Your Voice as a sheep do a Shepard, my nose - let me smell the sweetness of You, my mouth, O God - let me taste of Your Goodness, my touch - I extend my hand up, up, up to You Father to be consumed by Your Love, my m...
ind - show me Heaven, my heart, Daddy God, fill my heart with Your abundant joy.
I am but a soft lump of clay in the Potter's Hands; shape me, make me, mold me, burn me, paint me, brand me. Posses me sweet Holy Spirit. Show me, take me, my answer is yes. I don't need to know a thing - my answer to You is yes.
 
I lay me down, Lord, upon Your chest. Synchronize the rhythm of my heart with the beating of Yours. Move me, Spirit, teach me to dance. Teach me to laugh. Teach me to play in Your Presence God. Make me a child with big dreams and a love for the world! Jesus, You took it all that I might be who Daddy made me to be - teach me what that looks like.

JUNE 2012

God, we know that You have established provision for each one of us according to the specific call You've placed on our lives - each divinely unique to the person You created - and we stand firm in that placement, listening to Your Voice, moving and behaving in faith, accepting and agreeing with nothing more and nothing less than that to which we each were specifically called for - in Your Holy Name ♥

Worship is who I am... it's more than a song, it's a lifestyle.

Who we are is not defined by what we do.

"For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another" Galatians 5:13

God, I just need you... There is not one thing worth doing for even one second if You're not in it and leading the way.. I do not know, but only You, Lord, know it all.. teach me Holy Spirit, I want to be Your resting place...
"in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words" Romans 8:26
I submit my eyes, my ears, my touch, my nose and my mouth to You. I surrender my mind and my heart to You God.. Teach me, lead me to Your Heart ♥

"Your words were found and I ate them, and Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart; I have been called by Your name, O Lord God of hosts" Jeremiah 15:16

Not by my design but by Your Divine assignment I live. I will seek Your Face and bathe in You until my heart is aligned with Yours. I will wait with joy and longing...I am so in love with You!

Consecration

We have authority over that which are not afraid of.
Suddenly, a violent storm arose on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves. But He was sleeping... He said to them, "Why are you fearful, you of little faith?" Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea. And there was a great calm... (Matthew 8:24..26 HCSB)

What if we became aware of the prayers that God has already answered and we were to operate from a place of abundance rather than a place of poverty...?

undo me God.
unravel me.
break me.
consume me.
own me.

Lord our God, thank You for the 'Jonathan' You brought into my life!

I refuse to accept or agree with anything short of His Love

God, why do we agree to be stressed and frustrated when the life that You've called us to is so simple? I plead for our hearts that are confused. We put forth our best efforts to design our existence and we justify it with dissected truths. We rationalize our anguish, iniquities, and infirmities because we don't comprehend the totality of Your Love. I seek You and search You until my heart understanding is aligned and in tune with Your Word. I pray, Lord God in Heaven, to enter into an endless experience of You, that blesses everyone around me. Holy Spirit, reveal to us the depths of Your Truth - penetrate us and consume us like fire so that we may simply be defined by Your Love - in Jesus name ♥

He puts something so big, so powerful in us (and in front of us) that despite ourselves (and our situation/circumstance), we can only endure and pursue His Plan, Purpose, and His Heart's desire.

Jesus is an optometrist.. and His Blood is our corrective wear. (it also happens to be our protective wear)

Is it not summer just because it's raining? ..we are wise to dress according to the weather, but we still know what season we're in..

Upon conception, a covenant was established between me and each of my children (my creation). It endures every imaginable thing and cannot be broken.
We are made in the likeness and image of God - to represent or model Him and His Nature. (Genesis 1:26-27)
So then, if we portray and exhibit God, how much stronger and how much greater is the covenant between us and God that was established upon our conception - His Creation...

The truth is: God is always good. ♥
God IS for us and God IS with us - not just sometimes... ALL the time, in EVERY single moment, thru ALL things. Through Jesus Christ it is accomplished.
See INTO the Glory, the Victory. In your wildest imagination - go there - what does Triumph look like? Move forward in THAT picture.
"..if God is for us, who is against us? He did not even spare His own Son but offered Him up for us all; how then will He not also with Him grant us everything?...Who can separate us from the love of Christ?..." Romans 8:31-39

We need to let go of some things so God can give us some things...

We can perceive how big and bad the enemy is (it's within our comprehension, which is why we focus there).. but we cannot perceive how Great and how Huge God is (He is beyond our comprehension - without measure) so we've lost touch with our IMAGEination. We don't see what we don't see.

I pray for the supernatural to become our natural.

If you're dealing with something, then you've been equipped for it.

Peace isn't the absence of something... It's the Presence.

We don't need to know what the end result is (to the problem we face)...just that there is an end result and that it is good - in Your Name.

I do not want to remain normal.

It has all been nailed to the cross... ALL of it.
Insecurities, past/present (even future) pain, struggles, fear, pride, gain..and loss. Jesus took it all. ♥
This Truth sets us free into Kingdom reality.
Do we dare pursue it?

I am righteous, I have peace, I have access to grace, I have hope in the glory of God - all this thru Jesus by faith (Romans 5:1-2)
I am saved - God gave me this gift - I am created, I am His creation, I have an assignment (Eph 2:8-10)
I am saved through His mercy, I am washed, by the Holy Spirit I am renewed (Titus 3:5-8)
God's opinion of me is clear.
Other peoples' opinion of me does not matter.
My opinion of me is wrong if it doesn't line up with His opinion. ♥

My efforts are futile... His efforts are final.

Details don't reveal the truth of a thing.

Lord God, thank You for continuously confronting me with Truth so that I might grow deeper in You. Your love and Your grace consumes me and overwhelms me... I just can't breathe without You. Break me open, all the way. Expose me that I may know the fullness of Your goodness and glory. Open my eyes that I might see what You see. I rely alone on Your revelation and Your wisdom. For You and in You I live. You alone are God. Good. Right. Perfect. ♥

God, I look to You to define me and refine me. In Christ alone I search for my reflection and perception.

Without true revelation, which comes only by the Spirit, we are ignorant in and of ourselves, not even aware of our own heart or deepest desires.
Come, Holy Spirit, come. ♥

I know every thought you have before you think it, every move you make before its made. My Eye is on you in all things. Wherever you go I am there - fear not - there is no place I am not with you, there is nothing that scares Me. I am God. There is no place I won't go, all things I created - nothing is a surprise to Me.
We are intimate for I am your Maker - you are My Creation. There is no part of you I do not know. You once were formless, as was the earth. I made it and its story from beginning to end, as did I write all the days of your life. I am showing you your heart..cleansing, clarifying, refining.
You try to understand Me but My Thoughts surpass your capacity, but don't be frustrated - it's not up to you to be Me.

The Lord is my Shepard, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside still waters, He restores my soul. He leads me down paths of righteousness for His Name sake. Tho I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I fear no evil. Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies, Thou anointest my head with oil, my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever and ever. Amen

MAY 2012

When I love someone, care about them and what's important to them, I start learning more about those things, making them important to me too... I don't simply read an auto-biography about this person, I spend time with them, experiencing life from their point of view... it's often said that those who love each other start to 'look alike'... If this is how we embrace people, wouldn't it (at least) be the same as we embrace God...?

Lord God, I pray for contentment AND dissatisfaction simultaneously in Your Name, Jesus, as we are humbled by Your Grace and driven to a desperate hunger for You... more, more, more that we spill over in every area, God, because we cannot contain you... that the spiritual emptiness that plagues the world has no choice but to draw Your Presence and Your Love FROM us and thru us as You fill us, that our need for You increases exponentially. Let us move like oxen (Proverbs 14:4) and make a Divine mess with the Love and Power of God - in Jesus Name ♥

I am ALREADY living with You eternally, yet I am existing in this container in time temporarily, for Your Glory and Your Purpose to bring forth the destiny You've called for us - Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done... on earth as it is in Heaven!

God, there's nothing worth doing today if You're not involved in it... I pray to be clothed in the full armor of Light... I surrender my whole self to be used of righteousness.. Praise Jesus! Amen

The sun's purpose is to shine... and it fulfills it's destiny REGARDLESS of the weather forecast... ;)
 Have a BRILLIANT day!! ♥

Wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without favoritism and hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who cultivate peace. (James 3:17-18)

Lord, help me love the world into a relationship with You ♥

I am forgiven and forgiving

God reconciles.
"Everything is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: That is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed the message of reconciliation to us." (2 Corinthians 5:18-19)
(... the Message version) "... All this comes from the God who settled the relationship between us and him, and then CALLED us to settle our relationships with each other..."

Jesus replied, "If you only knew the gift God has for you...you would ask..." John 4:10

We walk through life completely unaware of our own exposure and our desperate need for God's Divine Protection...

God, I am desperate for You...saturate me with Your Presence...swallow me with Your Spirit...let me be lost in Your Glory.. Let there be nothing left of me so that everyone sees only You in me. I surrender spirit, soul, and body to you - to be used of righteousness...I surrender, in Jesus Name ♥

Faith extends way beyond what the eyes can see or the mind can conceive.

Today I'm thinking about the generosity served by a little girl at a tea party. Even though she knows it's just 'air', there is a belief that reaches beyond that reality, she diligently serves up a faith-based experience and her heart SHINES through.
Today, I pray for a child-like faith... that when I extend my hands with what may feel like is only air, let it be FULL of belief that God is doing things that I can't see but that I KNOW are real...I pray that I am willing to risk giving what I may not see that I have, but in God, by His Spirit, my hands are over-flowing...in Jesus Name ♥

In the name of Jesus, I refuse doubt and worry. I refuse to examine myself with any eyes other than those of my Savior, Jesus Christ. By the Word of God, I chose to utilize the power and authority He gave to me over all dark things, critical things, or worthless things... The Light is IN me and shines through me. If God be for me, then who can be against me?! Glory to God! ♥

You are becoming the person you were destined to be! in Jesus Name ♥

Do we dare to experience the fullness of God?

"...Those who were apprenticed to him, the committed, climbed with him..." (Matthew 5:1MSG)

We are not fighting for victory, we are fighting FROM Victory

It is easier to see someone who is clearly in lack and offer help, assistance, or service... But are we willing to go deeper? To be willing to serve those who don't 'appear' to be in need... Are we willing to be committed to outward rejection and to break through the independent spirit with love..to meet the internal needs - that go unnoticed but are clearly audible.. if only we'd stop to listen to what we cannot see.

We are not called to suffer, we are called to joy! :) Abundant Joy!

Are we willing to risk our reputation for God's Kingdom?
Are we willing to let our present understanding or comprehension be annihilated to grow in God?
Are we willing to daily throw our agenda away and seek God's agenda in ALL we do? (or do we put limits or conditions on our true willingness...?)
God, we are so sorry for thinking that for one moment our input somehow mattered, You are the Beginning and the End. You are the Divine Authority. We worship You with everything we are and all we do in every single moment! We love You!

We don't have to wait for desperate times to 'call for desperate measures'... ♥ more of You God! You are all I need! ♥

Without You, Jesus, I wouldn't have a Dad..♥

God, I see that You're more than the Ruler...You're my Daddy! You hold me in Your Arms, You watch me to make sure I don't get hurt, You pick me up when I fall down, You kiss my boo-boos and make them 'all better', You stand as my boundaries so that I grow into my potential, You see my heart in every situation, You provide for my needs - even the ones I'm not aware of, You protect me from bad things - especially when I don't know any better, Your Hand is on me always. I love You!! ♥

Heavenly Father, continue to scrub us - wash us, cleanse us - continue to bring the dirt to the surface so it can be washed away by Your Blood, clarify us O God, prepare us, bring us.. ♥

"But I received mercy for this reason, so that in me, the worst of them, Christ Jesus might demonstrate His extraordinary patience as an example to those who would believe in Him for eternal life." (1 Timothy 1:16)

"...so that they may take hold of life that is real."

It is critical for us to deny the world system and to seek desperately the reality of Heaven - we cannot afford to have any other point of view than that of Jesus Christ or any other existence than that which is God's.

God, break me open and wake me up! I don't want to miss what You're doing. Bring me further into Your reality.. I refuse to be rebellious or lazy.. I will not try to mold You to my current understanding, I am inferior to You.. Teach me, Jesus, how to move like You move, to do like You do. Fill me to over-flowing with Your Spirit that I may be dressed in Your Clothes.. spill me, open me up, take every part of me away and replace it with Your knowledge, Your wisdom and understanding, Your eyes and ears, Your heart. Shape me, make me, mold me, use me. In Jesus Name - Amen ♥

I repent from the goat mindset.

Embracing (or stepping INTO) God's reality for yourself (in your life, in your present situation) is KEY to sharing that promise (His Promise) with others... I can't share with you something I don't have. I need to first know I have much more than I think I do.. To be able to SEE, by faith (through Jesus' Eyes), that God's reality extends far past our own human understanding and to BRING THAT FORWARD by the Holy Spirit is essential to sharing the Kingdom,
Lord Jesus, I pray for an awakening.. a spiritual eye-opening... Holy Spirit, confront us with Your Truth so that we may move deeper into Your Presence, Your Reality, Your Glory.. teach us, guide us, lead us INTO You God.

Being in intimacy with the Holy Spirit, walking in and with Christ in relationship with my Father - God in Heaven - will bring me into Truth over the lies in my life, my family, my community, and this world.. through repentence I turn away from these lies on my/our behalf, refuse and rebuke them asserting the Authority and Victory that has already been established by the Blood of Jesus, restoring ...in it's place (where the lies once dwelled) the Divine Truth of love, light, and freedom.
Holy Spirit, I pray for revelation as I spend time with You - I'm sorry for not knowing who I was, and I am just so thankful and grateful that You, by Your Spirit, have shown me the Truth of who I am. I refuse the spirit of rebellion in Jesus Name (I'm sorry for not listening, for not hearing You all those times before) and as I now recognize Your Voice I see that I coninuously find myself in You, I grow in Your Living Water. I refuse doubt and worry as You teach me to grow like the wildflower - soaking in the rays of Your Light, bending with Your Wind. Thank You for Your Son, Jesus Christ, for Your Spirit to comfort me and teach me, for Your Love which is perfect in all things - Amen. ♥
 
"I can't show you where you're going until you trust Me to take you there..."
 
The inspiration/invention of all things in the physical (or natural) form is the derivative of a memory (or mold) of a parallel spiritual reality in existance.
 
Unbelief is rebellion
 
God - Holy Spirit - teach us to be multi-lingual as You are...
 
O God.. If we would just dare to put You first, how mighty would You move... If we would just be conscious of - sensitive to - the presence of the Holy Spirit, together at the same time, can we even comprehend how the atmosphere over nations would shift?
 
I refuse to be impressed by circumstances, reports, or lies formed to distract me from the destiny that God has called me into for His Purpose. I deny the influence of the terms and conditions of the systems of the world. I accept and posses, by the Blood of Jesus, the inheritence given to me by my Father in Heaven and I shout praise and glory to You God for what You have done, are doing, and will do ♥ I claim this in Jesus Name
 
I insist for you and each of you to walk IN the freedom that was purchased for you by the the Blood spilled by Jesus Christ on the cross.. I remove the blindfold that covered your face, causing confusion and stumbling, and by the power of the Holy Spirit declare an eye-opening INTO THE reality - the realm - of God himself.. I release a clarification and revelation over your life, to realize the shift in the atmosphere, to experience (encounter) God, His Spirit, and the Love of His Son bringing about fulfillment of your purpose in His Divine Plan. In the Name of Jesus, the Truth is received, embraced, and celebrated! ♥
 
I enforce the law of Heaven in Jesus Name ♥
 
I refuse to cause offense to my God in Heaven by submitting to being influenced by, confined by/to, limited by, defined by or subject to your circumstances or mine! I declare peace and freedom in Jesus Name ♥
 
We are not confined to or defined by our experiences or conditions of this life. It's time for us to behave as the most valuable creation that Jesus gave His life for... It's our immediate responsibility and priority to do more than hope for the True Identity to be known by our children and our children's children.. We must realize and become who God says we are so that our ceiling becomes their floor. We here for a time such as this, we have survived for a purpose - His Purpose - and we will not be moved.
 
I'm driving down the road and I start to visualize Jesus driving w/me.. sitting on His lap.. Suddenly my whole body relaxed as the usual tension of driving lifted off me, realizing that He's giving me the opportunity to drive but resting in the knowledge that He'll course-correct me, that He's completely in control, that He speaks gently in my ear teaching and guiding me (turn here..watch your lane, slow down, stop), that as focused (and narrow-minded) I am while trying to operate such heavy machinery - He's aware of ALL THINGS and protects me from the unseen. I love You Jesus! ♥
 
The power of praying in God's Word...
"so My word that comes from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please and will prosper in what I send it [to do]." Isaiah 55:11
Speaking outloud our prayers, praying in and from His Word, gives birth to that promise - an assignment unto that thing in which you spoke - where it is compelled to fulfill it's destiny.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:1
 
We are a fabric interwoven together by God, with His heart at the very center of us. We have our unique path pre-destined by God, yet they all come together (and in covenant, cannot be broken) to accomplish His Purpose.
