Morning Reflections with Naudia Bennett

May13

Morning Prayer was a huge blessing this morning.  Sister Naudia Bennett led for the first time and the word came from 2 Timothy 3:1-5 (KJV)

“3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”

Debbie Card (3)

She encouraged us to trust in the promises of God and remain faithful. Reflect on each milestone in our life and see if God was present and how did we get to the next level?

Was there doubt or was there total trust? If not, there is an opportunity to ask God for help as we approach another milestone. Keep our eyes on him, study his word and seek to live by it.

In the end she read 2 Timothy 3:16-17 “16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”

We thank God for the new person that joined.  His name Eric Miller.  Thanks you Father for answering our prayers to have men step up in the Kingdom of God. It’s very attractive to see a man sold-out for Christ…

Go into the World and be the Hands & Feet of Jesus

May12

Mark 16:14-20 “14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat , and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen . 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved ; but he that believeth not shall be damned . 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe ; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth , and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following . Amen.”

The group went to Camden today to feed.  As usual, it was a blessing. Before we could start there was a line of people waiting for us. The welcome was different and we thank God.  We have prayed for the people to be receptive and today they were. It was easy to share the word of God, hug, kiss, and just listen to the variety of stories.

We served over 100 people coffee and donuts. Today, it was “very different” we talked with several people and heard some stories that help us know that God is working things out even when things seem down. The overarching message is that his mercy and grace availeth much. We have a lot to be thankful for…

It was a pleasure connecting with Leroy, his family and Tyrell and his friends. They have a lot to share and sometimes just need a listening ear and a face that smiles and reminds them of hope.

At the end, we prayed with several persons; read the word of God with them and lend a listening ear, which for the homeless can be rare.

Father we thank you for the opportunity to share your word with the less fortunate. Father we pray that from this day forward your word will take root in their lives and there will be a change as these people seek after you. Thank you for Camden City and the change that is taking place right now.

Proverbs 3

1My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, 2for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity.3Let love and faithfulness never leave you;bind them around your neck,write them on the tablet of your heart.4Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.5Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. 7Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. 8This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. 9Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops;10then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine. 11My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, 12because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in. 13Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, 14for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. 15She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. 16Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. 17Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. 18She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed. 19By wisdom the Lord laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place; 20by his knowledge the watery depths were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew. 21My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight, preserve sound judgment and discretion; 22they will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck. 23Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble. 24When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. 25Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, 26for the Lord will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared. 27Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act. 28Do not say to your  neighbor, “Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you”—when you already have it  with you. 29Do not plot harm against your neighbor, who lives trustfully near you. 30Do not accuse anyone for no reason— when they have done you no harm.31Do not envy the violent or choose any of their ways. 32For the Lord detests the perverse but takes the upright into his confidence. 33The Lord’s curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous. 34He mocks proud mockers but shows favor to the humble and oppressed. 35The wise inherit honor, but fools get only shame.

Are You in the Perfect Will of God by Christ’s Kingdom Remnant Representative

Apr17

The Lord is sending a WARNING to us as to why it is so important that we make sure that every day we are SMACK BANG in the centre of his perfect WILL for our lives. Unless you are asleep, you should clearly be able to see the BLATENT warfare that we are up against which is hitting us from all angles and every direction in society right now.

Living in God's Will

Google Image

This moment and it is not just us (the children of God) but also everyone who is being AFFECTED or INFECTED by the continual onslaught of the enemy’s new strategies and attacks.  Remember the word of God says (Eph 6:12) “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms”!

There is a careful and strategic plan of attack against anyone who does not comply with the agenda of Satan in his long-term goal of taking as many people to HELL as possible and the destruction of the children of God at all costs. (John 10:10)
There are daily news reports surfacing on the CONTAMUNATION of various popular FOOD ITEMS & DRINKS and it should be old news to you that certain drinking water has been compromised for a long time. We are being attacked from the air with “CHEM-TRAILS”.

I just yesterday read an article that exposed the FACT that high volumes of led were found in popular MAKE UP lines which can cause CANCER & DISEASE yet the Lord is saying many are OBLIVIOUS and continue to be led by their FLESH and not by the Holy Spirit.
Have you noticed that there is now a record number of women shaving or cutting their hair in the pursuit of going natura! Let me ask you a question, do you think that it’s just for fashion or a trend or is there a deeper SPIRITUAL MEANING behind what we are seeing being manifest before our very eyes?

The chemicals that we use on our bodies are being used against us at a greater level than ever before. The rate of disease is growing and there are now many new diseases being found that are IMMUNE to ANTIBIOTICS, so what will happen when there are no longer any suitable medications left?
Satan has every angle covered. The Air, various FOODS, certain WATERS and various MAKE UP lines have all been COMPROMISED to some extent. I have even read that they have put hormones in certain urban clothing lines that can cause men to be more EFFEMINATE and women to be more MASCULINE and the things I have listed above are just to name but a few of the things that are happening RIGHT NOW.

God is saying to us today that the only way that we will escape the plans of Satan to try and DESTROY us in these last days is to CONTINUALLY make sure that we are in the PERFECT WILL OF GOD for our lives and also make sure we are quick to REPENT!
The word of God says (Mark 16:18) “They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover”. When the apostle Paul was bitten by the snake and wasn’t harmed it was because he was in the perfect center of the WILL OF GOD.

There is no more time to be unsure or wishy washy.  Satan’s attacks are relentless and they will not stop until Christ returns. The Holy Spirit is leading us in many new directions because of what the enemy is doing. Make sure you ask daily about food and the things listed, pray for direction and even bless the clothes you buy because it is EVERYWHERE. “Those that are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God.” It is time to make sure you are a SON, because RIGHT NOW it is surely means the difference between LIFE & DEATH.

A prayer for Boston by Christ’s Kingdom Remnant Representative

Apr15

Father we give you praise today, on a day, which was not promised, and some sadly never made it through. We thank you that you still stand by us even in the midst of despair and through the wicked acts of those who continue to plan and plot the harm and destruction of our brothers and sisters!

Holy Spirit

Father I pray and stand in the gap for my brothers and sisters in Boston who have had to experience the trauma of the calamities set by the wicked.

Father we ask you to have your way in protecting and guiding your children who hear your voice so they can avoid any and all danger and also alert others to what is ahead. Father we pray strength for those of us who have been personally affected by the events that have unfolded over the last 24 hours and we pray that you would continue to provide the peace that surpasses all understanding in the midst of tragedy, uncertainty and death and destruction in Jesus name.

Father according to the power and authority you have given us as your children we bind up the spirit of death and premature death in Jesus name. We bind up the spirit of violence and destruction, we bind up all calamities, all murderous spirits of malice and discord, all premeditated wickedness and assignments intended to hurt or destroy your children.

Father, we bind up all the plans of Satan to further steal kill and destroy.  We bind up jealousy and depravity, rage and anarchy in Jesus mighty name.

Father, we cancel every assignment against your children and we speak that every plot will be uncovered and exposed for your glory.  We come against and curse the root of all the demonic intentions of people trying to benefit from this disaster, Father delay and frustrate their plans of wickedness and control, shut down their operations and dismantle what they have already tried to do in Jesus name.

Father we bind the strong man over Boston right now in faith and according to the Holy Scriptures and we lose the angelic light from heaven into the lives of everyone affected and the Holy Spirits power into their hearts causing them to be strengthened supernaturally for your glory as we read this prayer on their behalf. Father forewarn your children who could possibly be in harm’s way in the aftermath of these events, give a stronger level of discernment to your prophets, intercessors and prayer warriors at this time so they can see what is ahead and warn others.

Father we thank you for your word that says that you never leave us nor forsake us. Thank you for being our only hope in times of death and destruction, uncertainty and wickedness Father, we love you and without your protection we are nothing, we give you the glory and the honor and in Jesus name we pray this prayer to you Jehovah God and in Jesus  name we pray.

God is an on time God by Viris Hart

Apr14

Good afternoon friends. I would like to tell you how God has been faithful to me over the past couple years!!! and very recently I was burdened about whether to let my house go or what exactly to do. In my mind I prayed and said Lord I have decided and have come to terms with letting the house go if that’s what you want me to do otherwise help me find a tenant. I had all my friends helping me to pray as well including Prayer Works.
God is an on time God
Google Image

Some people told me to walk away and get rid of the stress!!! so have been talking with the mortgage company. We worked out a payment arrangement and I did not consummate the agreement …I though for sure its over now but a mail came from the Mortgage company and I called them and they worked another arrangement. I had 30 days to make the payment. I had 2/3 and needed the other 1/3 I had no idea where I was gonna get it but I knew in my heart I was not going to ask anyone to help me. I became tired of asking for help. I was really depending on my tax returns. Well a few days later I found out that the IRS was auditing me. :( A couple of days before the deadline to make the payment I woke up had my devotion and went online to check my bank. My eyes almost popped out of my head there was so much money in my account I almost fainted. The IRS had put a portion of my returns ……the exact amount that I needed to make the payment and the extras I needed to mail it off!!! hallelujah!!!! Thank you Lord!!

Now I really started praying m ore fervently because I had a deadline in which to get the person. Many persons came and loved the place but did not come back. On the final day the agent called and told me she had a family. They looked at the house and told her they wanted to move in 5 days……..they moved in last Saturday and praise God…everything is on track…the arrangement has been accepted. Truly our God is an on time God!!! He was right on time here and I have learnt that I REALLY need to just trust him even if in my natural state of mind I cant see anything happening. He truly is working behind the scenes…….I also found out that my tenant had just lost her home in a foreclosure……..and that is the person he chose to help me to save mine…..how awesome is that!!!!!!

I also had asked for prayer for a new job….that has not materialized yet BUT I have gotten many clients since for my Insurance business. I was able to reinstate my license and now I really want to focus on my Insurance which would give me a lot more time to focus on other things….so please help me pray in this direction. I believe that this is where I should be……
God I love you!! Thank you for loving me, saving me, protecting me, caring for me, blessing me, providing for me, covering me everyday…you are AWESOME!!!

Transformation by Christ’s Kingdom Remnant Representative

Apr13

God wants you to know on this day that when He is building his glory inside us it is not necessarily, what we would expect with our natural minds! We start to think about how He works to develop that power within and we may immediately picture ourselves laid out prostrate.  Laboring long hours in prayer and intercession or going on 40 day fasts or to spiritual retreats and all that stuff that certainly does help with the process, but actually the reality I am learning is a lot less deep, because it is already done.

Transformed, Finished WorkGod’s Finished Work

Being human we tend to want to justify our works by looking at what we do as a way to judge what God is doing deep on the inside of us! Now, please do not misunderstand me.  God does lead us to do things for his glory and the things mentioned above like prayer, intercession and fasting do edify us and are very advantageous to our walk with the Lord but there is still a work going on deep down within our spirit man that has nothing to do with anything that we could contribute. This is the work of our savior Jesus Christ on the cross and our now divine exchange! (2 Pet 1:3)

It often feels like nothing is happening when we are going about our lives, doing the standard normal stuff that needs to be done, daily. We are perusing the will of God, going to work and to church as usual, somehow we fit in everything else that needs to be done and we could be forgiven for thinking that because we are not feeding the 5000, raising the dead or parting the red sea that nothing major is really happening! (Rom 2:10) But God wants you to know that YOU ARE WRONG!

The real exchange of God’s glory being given to us happened when (Jesus) willingly gave his life on our behalf on the cross! However, over time our Father is able to build up that same glory inside us.  With every conversation, every vexation, every situation or problem at work, every family dilemma, every financial problem or issue, every test of integrity at church or at home, every monthly pay check, every prayer, every choice and every divine exchange, every test and trial, situation and circumstance to name but a few. He uses everything in our lives to help cultivate and develop the process of steadily building the glory of Christ deep down within our spirit. (Rom 11:36)

There is nothing that God does not and cannot use to help build us, even our dreams and visions and the inner revelations we receive serve as an expression or an outlet for what God is up to when all we are doing is perusing his will and going about our normal day to day routines. The word of God say’s “Don’t judge anything before the APPOINTED time” (1 Cor 4:5) because while you are in PROCESS you will not be able to see what is really going on because it looks like nothing is changing. (Rom 8:28)

When a butterfly is in the cocoon you cannot see what is taking place but when it is RELEASED, you cannot miss the TRANSFORMATION, it is clear for all to see what was happening in the hidden season and it’s a vision of BEAUTY.

Be encouraged that God is at work behind the scenes in our spirits as we speak regardless of what you perceive because of what Christ has already done! When you can’t see it praise him anyway because when your time comes you will be a sight to behold and truly UNRECOGNISABLE, Shalom!

Prayer prayed over my life by Christ’s Kingdom Representative

Apr6

I Decree and Declare over this month that all things have become new in accordance to 2 Corinthians 5:17. All unresolved issues and pending situations, all of the gifts of God and prophetic revelations, all situations pertaining to your destiny and your calling, all family issues of restoration and all opportunities for spiritual growth and expansion have become like new over your life.

Peace

Peace

I speak blessings where there has been drought, supernatural prosperity where there has been lack and new vision for the vision where there has been blindness.  Father, this month set out your key adjectives in the life of my precious friend and download your blueprint that was predestined for her, give my friend clear direction and fresh focus for the tasks ahead.

Send confirmation of all that you need her to do to make maximum impact for your kingdom in the ministry, her job, her community, her family and marriage. In Jesus name, Father, give my friend a broader kingdom perspective and help her to apply what she had learned daily for your glory.

Father, bless my friend today and every day and I ask this prayer in the mighty name of Jesus.

You are Qualified through Trails and testing…Christ’s Kingdom Representative

Apr6

Everyone wants to receive the BREAKTHROUGH, FAVOUR, SUPERNATURAL PROVISION and MIRACLES SIGNS & WONDERS but start talking about the SUFFERING in proportion to the blessings of God in your walk with the Lord and suddenly we have all developed SELECTIVE HEARING!

Rigorous Training

Jesus wants you to go back to the WORD today and really look at the lives of any of his servants that did great works on the earth. Where there are abundant blessings there is also suffering of some kind to go with it. Suffering QUALIFIES YOU, it conditions your heart and firmly fixes the agenda of God into your spirit so you are deemed worthy to walk in the greatness of your calling.

There is something unique about the hardships and trials and the tests that suffering will bring that can teach you more about yourself than any other situation you will ever experience. When we are not saved and we suffer needlessly for Satan’s agenda we look at it from the perspective of life being unfair or we resign our plight to Karma or fate!

When we come to Christ and we suffer just as much if not more we start to complain and get dismayed by the REAL WALK WITH GOD, thinking that God doesn’t love us or start doubting our whole walk altogether. James the apostle said “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

Suffering is the NORM!

If Jesus suffered so shall we but instead of complaining REJOICE (Rom 5:3-5) because you have become worthy to take on the sufferings of Christ! It is an honor to be the furnace of affliction (Isa 48:10) because it is there that God’s glory can truly be revealed and you are being tested as GOLD! (1Pet 1:7)

Walk as a Child of God by Christ’s Kingdom Representative

Isaiah 57:1-2 (KJV)

The righteous perishes,
And no man takes it to heart;
Merciful men are taken away,
While no one considers
That the righteous is taken away from evil.
2 He shall enter into peace;
They shall rest in their beds,
Each one walking in his uprightness.

Walk as a Child of God

Google Image

You may have noticed that the father is being a lot stricter with you and that is because He wants you to understand that in this hour it is very important that your WORDS match up with your ACTIONS in validation of your FAITH!

We are in the END -TIMES where people are in flat out rebellion and willfully do not want to serve the Lord! Music, T.V. Films and the media in general are all working in opposition to the word of God and his commands, which has shaped a generation that is inevitably, being groomed to serve in the ANTICHRIST system.

We all have family members and friends who are resistant to hearing the word or being saved and though we pray and try to drop a word here and there, they just like us will have to make a choice whether or not to follow the Lord sooner or later. I say all of that to say this, our lives and the words we speak and our actions in many cases may be the closest thing that some people will ever get to the BIBLE.

We are a walking epistle!

People who cannot receive Christ for whatever reason are watching the things we do and they are weighing up their options to see if they could walk the walk and believe like us. We must more than anything start to practice what we PREACH and if we are not be honest about it by being transparent rather than unintentionally leading anyone astray or into discouragement!

The word of God say is that troubles and tests will surely come but we must not let them become an obstacle for ourselves or anyone else around us. Your consistency in following the word of God over the doctrines of the world is like a banner over your life for all to see.

The REMNANT of God is the ones who preach from the gospel and apply it to their lives, living the word, breathing the word, dreaming the word! No one is perfect and trust me we all fall short but we have to constantly be aware of how we live and what we do.

Sometimes, you not partaking in certain things speak more than just telling people what is right and wrong.  We need to be men and women of the WORD of God everyday so our whole lives becomes a tool to evangelize our unsaved family members, friends, work colleagues and brothers and sisters in the ministry who need to see a good example.

God is separating the wheat from the chaff; you are now being able to see, who the REMNANT is as opposed to the ones who follow the worldly church system. The Lord says my sons are the ones who are led by my spirit and my friends are the ones who do as I say!

The Ultimate Test of Waiting by Christ’s Kingdom Representative

Mar29

Psalm 27:14 “Wait on the LORD: be of good courage , and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait , I say, on the LORD.”

Persevere while waiting on God...It is a test!!!

Persevere while waiting on God…It is a test!!!

Google Image

Hey friend, one of the hardest things you will have to do for God is to WAIT! You may be surprised to hear that but waiting is a test of every piece of scripture within you.

Every bit of the word that you think you understand and the practical expression of how you translate that into the way you live your life while you are waiting! The word of God says that those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength!

Strength, is often built-in hardships, adversities, challenges, and the inevitable tests which come with being a child of God. God wants to know if you will still praise him when you cannot see anything! Will you still demonstrate the fruits of the spirit when you know your blessing is delayed!

Can He still trust you to be faithful over the little that He has already given you when you have no idea of when you are going to get the breakthrough?

Is it more about what you want him to do for you or is your heart his regardless?

There are many of God’s children who have been promised some MAJOR BLESSINGS but due to the size of it God held it up to make sure that your hearts were still clean and you really love him for who He is as opposed to what He can provide!

Your character, integrity, humility and motives have all been put through the furnace of affliction while you were being stretched to receive what God has promised you. There are times when you have even said to God that you no longer care as long as He remains in your life you will serve him anyway!

So I want to say to you this evening that you have passed your test, the door is open and it will soon be time for you to go, don’t get complacent at this juncture.

Expect the UNEXPECTED & STAND! THIS IS YOUR TIME!

Prayer over my Friends’ Lives by Christ’s Kingdom Representative

Mar28

This morning the Father would like to encourage you with his word that says, “You are blessed and highly favored” created in his image to be a chosen generation and a peculiar people!

Prayers for my online friendsGoogle Image

Father I pray over my friends and speak life into every dead situation that they face, and Just like you asked your son if the dry bones could live, you want my friends to know that everything that looks dead in their lives can still live through your resurrection power that still works today!

Father your promises over our lives has always been yeah and Amen. Yeah and Amen to what looks out of our reach, yeah and Amen to what looks dead, yeah and Amen to what is impossible for us but not for you, yeah and Amen to what, we are still waiting on but you will manifest it at the appointed time!

Father, thank you that we are co-heirs with Christ and a royal priesthood; set apart to reign with you now this second and when your kingdom comes.

Father you have created each of us with the unlimited potential to express your glory for your glory. You have placed within us the Holy Spirit who teaches all things and leads us into all truth so we can complete our assignments and do the greater works right now, today that our savior Jesus spoke of.

Father, shake up anyone who has lost sight of the immense power that you have given them to change the nations, communities, workplaces, ministries, families and situations.

If Jesus heeled the sick, delivered the demon possessed, raised the dead, brought about revival, and walked in miracles signs and wonders then so shall we because his life was an example and a blueprint to follow and observe.

Father help my friends to break out of the box of any limitation that has been placed upon them by themselves or this world so that they can walk as Jesus walked and be a sign and a wonder in this generation and be about their Fathers business!

Father, I Decree and Declare, that my friends will walk at greater levels in the supernatural right where they stand as they read this, give them a kingdom perspective in terms of your dynamos power.

Let them have a real experience of your shekinah glory that will change them and perfect them causing a domino effect in their families, their workplaces, their communities, in their ministries and bring salvation to the ones assigned to their lives to be saved!

The Father wants you to know today my friends that He loves you with an everlasting love that goes far deeper then you could ever understand right now, you are his blessed creation who He desires more than anything to have intimate fellowship with.

Father we give you the praise and we certainly give you all the glory today, we love you and exalt your holy name and I pray this prayer in the mighty name of the savior Jesus (Yeshua) Amen (Shalom)

Let go and Let God by Trudy Ross

Mar16

Isaiah 40:28-31
“Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.

Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” (NIV)

Where do I start…  Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you keep asking God..WHEN? When is this gonna change, why is this happening, why is it happening to me…well for quite a while that right there was me. At one point I began to think I was annoying God. Then guess what happened? I began to take notice of people around me and how much louder they must have been screaming God why me and when will THIS stop? I noticed I was drawn to a place where I always found my self in prayer on the behalf of these people. The more I did the more I saw something else God wanted me to do, not for me but for someone else.  Mind you my situation  had not changed but he had me busy doing and focusing on other stuff I didn’t  have the time to be focused on me. Guys when I tell you God is a God of HIS time he is!!!!

Let me fill you in some more, I recently migrated to the USA and believe me when I tell you I cried to go home more than anyone else that had taken this road. I was suddenly without a job and in a totally new culture. I applied to every job l could find, nothing happened ( it was during this time I think I became annoying to him…*why me Lord??*  every second of the day. I learned during  this time if it is not Gods time and his will it will not happen.

Fast forward to today I had totally stop stressing about my jobless situation and was busy focusing on what I could do in his kingdom. You know what? That’s all God wanted me to do , handle his business and he will take care of ours.

MY MIRACLE

I had started a event planning company back  home but didn’t think it would go anywhere here…mind you this is my passion, its what I love to do. Right when I wasn’t looking God was lining up everything to fall into place to show not just me when we let everything go and trust him what great thing he can do. He placed people in my life that was about to take things to another level it would blow minds..he reminded me of my dreams,my passion and reminded me that it was not dead it was just  sleeping waiting on the RIGHT TIME and trust me until he says its over it isn’t

I am sitting here getting ready to step out with this company and I am still in awe of how God brought it into place. Take a look at this  http://www.trustarrdesigns.com/  and just look at how big our God is.  He brought people into my life to fulfill his will and not only in my life but the  persons he was lining up. From where I’m sitting the sky is the limit from here , with God as my pilot though.

In closing I will leave with you this: We were put on this earth to praise him, to be about his business. It is when we do this and let go of stressing about  our daily situations and trust him ,we will see that he has always been about ours.

A note about your Faith by Owen Sewell

Mar10

Hello my friends, May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you bountifully today as you travel through your day with Him.

I will walk by Faith Google Image

 What is Faith?

FAITH believes in what God said to you or through His word without the presence of doubt in your mind. It is, “the substance of things hoped for without seeing the evidence of it.”

Where does it come from?

It comes from The ALMIGHTY Himself. “For God has given to every man/woman the measure of FAITH.” Every person born a Human Being has faith.

“Without FAITH it is impossible to please God.” It is self-explanatory, only faith can move God and He rewards it well.

It pleases God when He sees the extent of your faith. God wants you to come to Him with a mind cleared of doubt.

What is Mustard-seed FAITH?

It`s small but enough, NOT little as some may think. That`s the devil`s trick. If you have it you can move mountains.

SOME WOES THAT HINDERS IT: Co-existing in your mind with your FAITH can be; IGNORANCE, UNBELIEF, DISBELIEF, and a HARDENED HEART. These produce Double-mindedness.

Jesus said that, “A double-minded person is unstable in all their ways, James 1:8 KJV.” “Let not that man think that he can get anything from the Lord.”

WOW!

This was Jesus saying! Ever wondered why you seem to not be getting anything from the Lord after praying?

That`s it right there!

A love like this by Trudy Ross

Feb14

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Brokenhearted

Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us.

For today when the world is celebrating that one day for love, I pray you experience this love that is an everlasting love an unconditional love that knows no bounds.

Be blessed today everyone and share love!

As we celebrate love around the world, my heart goes out for the ones that are lonely and will even be pushed to desperate measures because of the lack thereof.

I pray this morning that God visits them wherever they are and that they too can experience not a one-day but a forever love.

Imagine that, FOREVER!!

Happy Valentine’s Day

What God Wants?

Feb8

God is looking for a broken and a contrite heart.  He mentioned in Psalm 51 that he would not reject this type of heart.

Brokenness

In all that we do, more than anything else God is looking to have us completely.

He wants us to come boldly to him and to seek after him as the deer panteth for the waters.

He wants to be the center of our hearts and the reason behind our existence.

God wants us all, holding nothing back.

Yes, He wants everything and he loves us just the way we are.

The songwriter says he looks beyond our faults and saw our needs.

 

How do I start giving God my all?

It starts with praying, reading his word and spending time in his presence and through the Holy Spirit; he will teach us the rest.

Our prayer meetings continue to be a blessing. Every morning at 5:00 am, we have a circle of people consisting of fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, friends, husbands, wives, grandmothers, aunt, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.

In order words people from all lifestyles join the conference for prayer and prays to God.

It is simple!

They earnestly seek after God and make their request known to him. He interns multiple, increase, broaden the circle and change lives.

This morning was a blessing.  Analice led and the word was from Romans 8:35 to the end. Where the scripture outlines a series of tribulations and struggles that could separate us for Jesus.

Nevertheless, in the end the encouragement was, nothing can separate us from Jesus’ love.

What an assurance.

Therefore, be encouraged and ask the Holy Spirit to make your heart be like the heart of Jesus.

He is looking for a broken and a contrite heart.

Giving God the First Fruit

Feb7

There is something extraordinary about a person that puts God first in everything. Such a person is bless, contented, and the fruit of the spirit is evident in that person’s life.

First Fruits

What happens? God takes over and the individual follows.

As I have heard from my senior pastor ” What needs to change” for God to get the first fruit of the day?

Is it exercising self-control one of the fruits of the spirit?

Ask yourself the question and be honest to answer what do I give God?

Does he even get anything from the day?

Am I too busy where I cannot find any time to spend with Him.

He wants to hear from each and every one of us.  Please start by praying and reading his word.

How we start our day

Our morning prayer meeting was a huge blessing again. Every morning it is a different experience. God continues to use ordinary people to accomplish great things in his Kingdom.

Faith led the group this morning. The word came from Philippians 4:13-14.

“13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. The take away is to prepare our minds for battle. We have to press in the spirit to defeat the plans of the enemy.”

Thanks again for the support and your obedience to pray everyday. Our newest members, Viris Hart, Naudia Bennet, and Auntie Carol.

See you tomorrow at 5:00 AM. Dial 209-255-1000 enter passcode 532238.

Analice will lead.

I urge you to start your day with talking to the Lord and he will Pilot you through the day.

A Prayer for Forgiveness

Feb3

Psalm 51:1-19 (KJV)

ForgivenessGoogle Image

Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving-kindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

14 Deliver me from blood guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.

17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

When GOD Doesn’t Answer Prayer How “We” Think HE Should by Olayemi E. Ogunbase

Jan26

I prayed, quoted Scripture, fasted, all things I thought would get God to move in the way I wanted Him to. I thought that having worship music going 24/7, attending the prayer meetings at church and joining prayer groups on Facebook would get Him to move how I wanted.

Re-read the last part of the previous sentence. “Get Him to move how I wanted”. And THAT was the problem. It was based on what “

God is patient and kind...

God is patient and kind…

Google Image

I” wanted, not His will. I (like many of us) found a Scripture that lined up with my particular want & latched on to it. Please understand me, there is nothing wrong with holding on to a Scripture & asking in faith. But what WE want cannot be more important than what HE wants.

He sees our situation through a lens and view that our minds cannot begin to grasp. He sees the prayer request and us through perfect eyes. In addition to that, He not only sees the immediate impact of granting/not granting the prayer request, but the long term, ETERNAL ramifications.

Imagine with me for a moment: You have a 16 year old, newly licensed driver who comes to you saying “Dad (or Mom…I’m a man, so I use “Dad”), for my first car, I would like a Porsche 911 Turbo.” You not only own a Porsche dealership and could easily make this request happen, but the joy that would spread across your child’s face would be a beautiful thing.

But, you know your child. Although there is nothing wrong with a Porsche 911 Turbo in and of itself, that same piece of machinery with an inexperienced driver behind the wheel has the potential to not only destroy the driver, but any passengers in the vehicle and other drivers/pedestrians out on the road.

Our Lord knows us better than we know ourselves. He also knows that many times we will pray for something permanent as a reaction to temporary discomfort, even if that discomfort is actually for our benefit, and will bring us something far better than what we want or THINK we want.

I remember recently praying for a particular job. I wanted this job because of the salary it provided, and also because I thought I would be able to handle working the overnight/graveyard shift, freeing me up for a 2nd part time job during the day. I would have grown sick of the duties in this job in rather short order, and probably would have had a nervous breakdown working a full time graveyard shift job and another job. But all I could see was the pay.

My Father in Heaven answered this prayer with a resounding NO on a Wednesday. I tell you…I was UPSET! Have you ever seen a 31 year old man throw a temper tantrum? God did that day. It was not the finest moment of my walk. I calmed down, and began looking online. I looked for the next four days. On that 4th day, a Saturday, I was scouring job postings and found one that I had missed. I did a double take, because the position for this particular posting paid MORE, offered greater stability and fewer hours. On top of all that, I instantly knew (based on the description) I would like it far more than the previous job I just “HAD to have”. I prayed, put it in His hands, applied, interviewed and GOT THE JOB. I have been with this company since October 8, 2012 and have NEVER enjoyed going to work as much as I do now. Each day, I don’t “have to go to work”. I GET to go to work! I know the Lord blessed me with this position, but also the joy that comes with diligent work unto Him. To top it off, the company called a meeting the other day where they announced “We’ve decided to give you (the staff) 9 additional days of paid time off”.

The point is this. Had the Lord answered my prayer my way, He could have orchestrated it for my good. It could have been okay. But when He answered my prayer for stable employment in HIS way, it was, is and has been “exceedingly and abundantly more than all I could ask or think” (Ephesians 3:20).

I close with a command. Get your Bible and go to Proverbs chapter 3, verses 5 and 6. Memorize them and believe in the truth of those words MORE than you believe in gravity.

I love you.

In Him,
Yemi

Thank you note from President Barack Obama

Jan23

Thank you for making this possible. It’s an honor to be your president.
Now it’s time to finish what we started — let’s get going.

President and Joe

This is what sets this President apart from his predecessors.  A simple thank you note, a simply way of including the grass root people and making them feel integrated in the process to uncovering a better United States America.

The work we have begun is not completed and though we might not be in agreement with everything, he said or does.

Let us join hands and heart and pray for him and his administration. He has to lead through tough times and as a leader myself it is difficult to lead in my tiny role when there is any form of dissension or division.

Can you image him in his role as the President of the United States?

Please join our team of prayer warriors from Prayer Work Evangelism Outreach Ministries and start praying for our President, all those in authority and our Nation under God.

The word of God encourage us to do so.

1 Timothy 2: 1 “I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.”

My face is shining upon you, beaming out Peace that transcends understanding. You are surrounded by a sea of problems, but you are face to Face with Me, your Peace. As long as you focus on Me, you are safe. If you gaze too long at the myriad problems around you, you will sink under the weight of your burdens. When you start to sink, simply call out “Help me, Jesus!” and I will lift you up.

The closer you live to Me, the safer you are. Fix your eyes on Me, the One who never changes.

Focus on Jesus and leave the outcome of your prayers to him.

I thank you that I have a job. I thank you for my car. I thank you that I can come to you and pray. I thank you for my health.  Lord, I could go on and on and the more I find things to be grateful for is the more I recognize that I am blessed beyond measures.

Lord please continue to change me from the inside out.

Knowing God Speaks

Jan15

2 Chronicles 7:15 “Now my eyes shall be open, and my ears attentive unto the prayer that is made in this place.”

It is so important to be in purpose as a child of God and to know God’s voice.  In this world of leadership, everyone will come with what God said and what he did not say. Moreover, if you do not know What He’s saying then you will become confused.

God Speaks

Google Image

I was talking with another leader the other day and she mentioned, “Many people has prophesied over my life and today I don’t think I can deal with anyone else prophesying over my life.”

Why?

The prophesies are far from the truth that God has for her.

This brings me to the place of asking the question do we frequently hear from God.

How does he speak?

In addition, what do we do when He is not speaking?

All the above happen at different stages of our walk in the Lord. Sometimes we hear him on a regular basis. Other times He is silent or he is speaking through unfamiliar medium and channels.

Therefore, if we are looking for him to be in a bond fire we might miss him in the tiny spark. We might be looking for a mighty roar and miss the still small voice.

As Christians, we need to develop a healthy walk with the Lord and this walk is one where we are spending quality time in his presence. This includes reading the word, listening, fasting, and praying, but not excludes other Godly practices that the Holy Spirit will reveal as the relationship grows and gets deeper.

Holy Spirit

Google Image

When we do this, we hear him clearly and he speaks softly. He will create moments for us to become familiar with his voice in small and big things.  So for example He will say go right and then doubt creeps in and one goes left. In the wrong turn, His voice will say I say right (training). On the other hand, he will show a situation and say speak this or pray this and if one is not quick then he will ask someone else and then there is a reminder that “God” has spoken.

In my opinion, I think he does this for us not to doubt when he speak and for us to act swiftly in the spirit. Another thing is that God is always speaking and when he is not he has already spoken and the answer remains the same. In that moment, he teaches patience and gives rest while we wait.

If our relationship with him is shaky and we are not in fellowship with him then it will become frustrating for us to be hearing others say God said, this or that.

It is easy to hear from God but it takes discipline to form the right behaviors to be in a place to hear and to move past the noise. God is looking for us to have a relationship with him.  He is looking to commune with man like in the olden days. He wants to speak but most of the time we are doing all the speaking.

What is getting in the way of us hearing God?

There is a “peace” about when he speaks and when we walk in obedience. God will use people to speak to you but he wants to speak directly to you too. Be proactive about the kind of life you want to live for Jesus.

Someone encouraged me a few years ago to start reading my bible regularly, create a time and a specific place where I meet the Lord daily. Replace ungodly behaviors with godly behaviors, find a mentor to hold your hand as your grow.

Now it is my time to pass it on… I urge you today to do the same. God is waiting to talk with you and more so to share secrets with you.

Amen

How did Jesus live each day?
Is it really possible for us to live as He lived?
Here are five things to consider:

The first is His dependency.
Jesus lived each day dependent upon His Father. We can also live each day in complete dependency upon the Lord. He is our strength, our life, our sufficiency, and He is the source of all we need.

The second is His faithfulness.
Jesus lived each day in faithfulness to what His Father called Him to do.As followers of Jesus Christ we can be faithful to what God has called us to do and do His will whole-heartedly.”

Dear Lord:

Today I pray the same prayer over my life, my children’s life, my family’s life, my friend’s lives and for all who I come in contact with for today.

Help me to see the Jesus in people and to focus on the positive. Show me how to trust you with everything in my life. I give you the big things and the small things to use them as you please.

I want to be just like you.  Father, I know that you want the best for me and sometimes because of the choices I made I have to be disciplined and in those moments your grace is enough. Help me to know that when you are silent I need to rest in you.

Teach me to be patient and lead me in the path of righteousness.  Crown me with your glory and the joy of my salvation. Help me to be a blessing regardless of my situation.  Show me how to love the unlovable and may I see hope in every thing that comes my way. Nothing is forever, this too will pass.

Lord, it is so easy for me to lose sight of how I should be in you but for today I pray you help me to constantly live and be in your presence.

I thank you Lord for who I am in you and I give you back the day to lead and direct me in your perfect will. Thank you for your blessings and favor that awaits me every morning.

Victory is mine

Lord,

In closing, I step out in boldness, claiming everything that is already mine. Victory over my circumstances, peace over my mind, smiles on my face in spite of, joy in every moment, success in everything I do, love to cover a multitude of sin, patience to wait on you, gentleness in caring for people, meekness in my temperament, humility in my attitude, self-control in my behavior, mercy/goodness to forgive and to let go, wisdom to make the right decisions, knowledge to encourage and  the rest I leave to God. (Galatians 5:22-23)

Revelation 12:11 “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”

I have a testimony

Today is a day to give thanks and to count our blessing.  It is important to share what God has done in our lives.  When we do this, we encourage others who are faced with similar circumstances.

Another important point about sharing it that it confirms the promises of God to hear us when we pray and to supply our needs. In other words our testimony declares the faithfulness of God.

Testimonies for the day

  1. Tavar Jesus Pickney Matthews My mommy seems to be fine now. I saw her at work today. Praise the Lord. She had gastroenteritis.
  2. Theresa Cerreta-Siligrini I went to set up payments to pay a debt and within 2 hours God reduced that debt by half and it will be paid off in 2 weeks instead of 8 weeks.
  3. One member had an interview today after praying for weeks for a job.
  4. One caller had met his goal for the month after praying for an increase in the area.
  5. Debbie had a great day at work, the team was awesome and we met the goals that were set for the day.
  6. Madge got a breakthrough to send project to the President within a short notice.
  7. Debbie and Wayne got selected to volunteer for the Presidential Inauguration on January 21, 2012.

Prayer

Lord we thank you for answering our prayers and for blessing us beyond measures. Your mercies are new every morning. Thanks you for your unconditional love.  You love and bless us inspire of our shortcomings and our failures. I am so happy that for our salvation.

Today is different.  I started my day with prayer as usual and did my regular chores for the day.  What is remarkable is that I am off from work and I am able to take my daughter to school.

It seemed perfect! Just the way I have always wanted it.  My husband got up, got showered and dressed for work and came out to my prayer den with a wide smile and holding Jaiden Rae in his hand.  We all kissed and hugged and my heart overjoyed.

Just as I know, it could be.  It took eight year for us to be there and I will enjoy every moment of it. Eight long years for me, to finally submit, and for me to give it all to Christ.  Eight long years for me to rid myself of every ounce of bitterness and un-forgiveness and eight year, to start all over from the beginning, wiping the slate clean.

The last days were hard because I was always holding on to something else that I thought I was entitled to. Today I am enjoying the fruits of hard work and grace and mercy, letting go and let God.

I dropped my daughter off to school and I watched her play; as I handed the paperwork over to the teacher and say my New Year’s greeting. There is a peace that comes with watching my child finding her way and knowing her place in the world.

For years, we have prayed for Jaiden Rae to be bold and today again we are seeing just that.  Father I thank you for the small benefits of life.

One of the teachers mentioned I could take a group and read stories to them.  I did it and it was an experience for me to read to my daughter and friends at her school.  We hugged, we kissed and then it was time to leave. I called Gardner and shared the great news with him.  He was delighted.

My Prayer

Dear God, I thank you for the big and small things in my life.  Thanks you that I was able to get the day off from work to take my child in to school. I am grateful for all that, you have done. Please help me to see how much you love and care for me.  I give you back today; help me to walk in your will and to appreciate all things. Amen!

We were minutes away from having everyone together again. Father we will always serve you and this is a true testimony that “prayer works”.

This has been the desire of my heart and I kept praying and speaking life into everything that surrounds us being together. I strongly believe that God works upon the desires of our hearts and he will bring goodness to pass in my life.

I also believe that my mind is powerful and if I can see it and believe it through God’s grace; I will eventually have it. I have asked the Holy Spirit to help my unbelief concerning my family situation and even when things seem to be going South I refuse to focus on what I see.

I have worked on keeping my focus on things ahead. Philippians 3:14-15 “14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

According Hebrews 11:1, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen,” this I hold on to and kept praying and seeking God for a breakthrough.

We were excited and gave God thanks for creating such an opportunity for us to be together again as a family.  We have to hold on to the promises of God and remember that he will do what he promised in his timing and his perfect Will for our lives will be accomplished as we trust, obey and completely surrender our all.

I have seen God’s hands in our lives. It has been a long time coming. I am claiming everything that God has for me for 2012. I am in my eleventh hour, the last quarter, doing the last minutes in the last lap and I am determined to be completely delivered from every generational curse, every doubt, every negative thoughts that plague my mind concerning leading a positive and fulfilling marriage life.

My expectations are being met one by one.

In the end, it came full circle and God completed the healing where it all started at my home church. I am so happy now. I am having one of the best moments in my life.

I love you God and I am grateful for your finished work on Calvary and for the breakthrough in my family.

God will not relent until he has it all and self is fully crucified.

Stepping Out of Our “Comfort Zone” by Trudy Ross

Dec24

Matthew 14:22-33 (NIV)

22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, 24 and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. 25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. 27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” 28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” 29 “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”

It has been over a month since the Prayer Works Evangelism Outreach Street Ministry has been launched.  Watching God move has been an eye-opening and humbling experience for me.

The peace that comes with doing the will of God is another experience that words cannot explain.  All I know is that there is an inner peace that takes over your and if I should be honest “that peace” sometimes evades us.

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you are too busy to think of anything else but you, and what concerns you?  Or have you ever told yourself “That’s not for me, I cannot do that!”

God has a way to shift us from that place of comfort that we sometimes find ourselves “ok” with.

Being involved in this Ministry has enabled me to step out of that place I called “Normal”. The reality of what is involved in ministering to the needy is such that while in the moment there is no room to zone in on “My Issues”. They become obsolete.

Before a breakthrough there is always struggles and if you are not Spiritually equipped you will quit before you begin. Every Sunday when it’s time to step out into the outreach arm of the ministry, the fight that comes and the pressure that builds up is one that would have you giving up.

We literally have to push past this feeling.

Today we packed the car, as usual, we pulled up and it was time to do what we set out to do.  We prayed again and stepped out. The minute we stepped out of the car you could feel God’s hand on what was about to take place.

First, it was one person and within five minutes or less it was a line as far as we could see.  The look on the faces of the people we saw, was one of complete happiness and hope, even if it was for just a time, THAT TIME, the joy of being ministered unto was something you could actually touch.

Not for a minute did I remember that this was not my “comfort zone” anymore, he had taken me to a new “normal”.

In closing let me ask you this. What is God asking you to do that you have questioned HIM so many times over if he is sure he got the right person?

Try this, step out of that comfort zone.  Let go and let GOD!

Abiding Faith by Wayne Smith

Dec22

Hebrews 11:6 KJV “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

abiding faith

Goggle Image

There’s a difference my Brothers and Sisters between Desire and Faith. You can have the desire to do something or get something but as soon as you are faced with certain challenges you lose that desire.

When you have Faith it causes you to pursue the thing that seems impossible, see desire will get you out of your Egypt and heading to your Promise but when you come upon your Red Sea you start giving up and saying why has God brought us out here to kill us.

Were there not enough graves in Egypt for you to leave us there to die, see that what desire does. Desire will take you to the entrance of your Promise but when you see that Jericho wall before you, you give up, but when you have Faith it will give you the Tenacity and the Power to hold on and go after your promise.

When you come upon your Red Sea and you don’t know where to turn, you can’t turn to the left there are Mountains on your left and you can’t turn to your right there are mountains on your right and you can’t look back because Pharaoh and his army is coming up behind you.

Faith will cause you to have no Fear but just Stand still and see the Salvation of the Lord. For the Egyptians you see today you will see no more, the bills you see today you will see them no more, and in the name of Jesus I’m crossing over my Red Sea.

Faith will get to the entrance of your promise and cause you to look at your Jericho wall and declare according to (Matthew 17:20 “for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you”).

Praise your way through into your Promise, somebody just shout unto God by Faith right now.

Traveling on Your Knees Posted by Dawn Francis

Dec16

Luke 18:1-8 (NIV) “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 2 He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. 3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’ 4 “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’”6 And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”

Men are always to pray

Last night I took a journey,to a land across the seas.
I didn’t go by ship or plane I traveled on my knees.
I saw so many people there in bondage to their sin.
And Jesus told me I should go,that there were souls to win.

But I said “Jesus,I can’t go to lands across the seas.”
He answered quickly, “Yes, you can by traveling on your knees.”
He said, …”You pray, I’ll meet the need. You call, and I will hear.
It’s up to you to be concerned For lost souls far and near.”

And so I did; knelt in prayer, gave up some hours of ease,
And with the Savior by my side,I traveled on my knees.

As I prayed on, I saw souls saved and twisted persons healed,
I saw God’s workers strength renewed,while laboring in the field.

I said, “Yes Lord, I’ll take the job.Your heart I want to please.
I’ll heed Your call and swiftly go by traveling on my knees.”

Do not give up on a Child of God

Dec15

Samuel 16:7 “But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

Budding for Jesus

I know this may sound weird and outlandish to say do not give up on the vilest of sinner and the darkest person that you may know in your home, church, school, work or community. In my world, I have seen and come to know evil and discontent to be the guiding light for most people.

As I have often known, that God looks on the heart and not the outward appearance.

I was born and raised in Jamaica and very early in my life, I had three girlfriends that life had taken us into various directions. Anyway, we are all here in the United States except for one.  The reason I mentioned this is that one of my friends, we grew up in the church together and we have always been together.

Eight years ago, I migrated from Jamaica to this land but we have always kept in touch.  Her father is a pastor and in my childhood days, I remembered that he was always on fire for Jesus.  I found that very attractive.  As a child, I would say I want that fire and I want to be sold-out to Jesus as he seemed.

Well that happened almost two years ago when I said enough is enough. I am tired of doing it my way.

I gave Jesus my all without looking back. While going through discipleship my dear friend was also going through some challenges and everything I learnt in my session I would say it back to her.

She wanted to serve God but….

Well I kept praying and I could clearly remember every time I go on the internet the Holy Spirit would nudge me to pray for my girlfriend.  In fact, that was how Prayer Works Café started on the internet. I was no longer on the train and I often sought the Lord about what to do and who to pray for? One day the answer came in a question. Who is praying for these people on the internet? Pray for the persons who come up on you Facebook page.

There were moments in our relationship that I would literally get tired and I would not know how to encourage my dear friend to go on.  We prayed, we talked, we cried but there was something in me that told me that it is going to be different soon.

If you know me, you would know that soon for me meant right now, literally the next minute. Anything else would be like eternity.

Therefore, as you can imagine I sometimes was impatient with the process. In these precious moments God was still on the job.  He was working things out.

Weeks would sometimes go on and we would not speak but I would be praying.

It was about a two months ago I called because the Holy Spirit said I should let her be an administrator within the group.

She accepted.

In the same breath she mentioned I just told God that I want to be sold out for his will. We prayed and laughed.

Today I thank God that I was not shortsighted in the Spirit and I did not give up on my friend.  Her life has become a true testimony for the Lord. God is awesome. Hearing her in the morning brings tears to my eyes. Thank you, Lord for her life…

Is there anyone you have given up on or about to give up on?

Is there anyone that you are thinking there is no grace to cover their sins…?

God looks on the heart and as I once heard see Jesus and the good in people and leave the rest to God. He does the changing and we are all children of God.

Legalizing Homosexuality by Madge Nosworthy

Dec10

Romans 1:21-32 (NIV) 21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

The question of legalizing homosexuality has reached the Supreme Court. The onus is on the nine members to revise the Constitution, which upholds the Bible Principles that the union of a marriage is between a man and a woman.

A woman came forward to say that she was married to another woman for forty-three years.  It took a woman to take the Bible from the classroom and prayer out of society.

The big question is; are we going to stand and allow another woman to go against God’s law?

Act 2:24 states that we ought to obey God rather than man and Romans 2:21-32 gives a clear picture of the consequences of such actions.

America is the only nation founded on Christian principles.

How soon do we forget?

Let us stop being men pleaser and worship the Creator in truth. Remember our pledge, “One nation under God with liberty and justice for all”

We have to join forces and pray against such evil corruption of legalizing homosexuality. It is no wonder our nation is heading south because we have turned our backs on God. To have equal justice for all is one thing but to legalize a sin is outright lawlessness, which opens the door for the devil to take over and reign.

Hope for the Weary

Dec9

Isaiah 40:28-31 (KJV) 28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. 29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Hope for the weary

For us it was another day to do what God has created us to do.  Actually, not everyone knows what that is, and for everyone it looks different. I am talking about purpose in God and answering the great commission to go into the world and make disciples according to Matthew 28: 19-20.

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Again, I know what my purpose was for today and together the group did just that….

As you probably know, Camden has been on my mind and has been a city that I carry spiritually and often sought the Lord to get an understanding of why it is a forgotten city.

Geographically Camden is located between two great cities near the riverbed.  The city of Philadelphia on one side of the river and the other is the city of Collingswood. Both neighboring cities have its own troubles but it seems different from Camden.

There seem to be a spirit of depression over the city.

The answer I will never know and could be very much debatable.

However, as part of the will of God for the day Prayer Works Evangelism Outreach Ministries was there today. We had planned from weeks ahead that we would serve breakfast today.

It was wet and rainy and all seem dead when we got there.  We saw one woman who lived in her wheelchair on the road.  Her name is Laura. We prayed with her and asked if she needed something to eat and a change of clothes.

She took the coffee and the sandwich and told us her clothes size. Luckily, we had her size.  She was happy.

After we got back to the car with the food and clothing, we thought we would go to another location to feed and pray. We had one person, and then it turned into two before we knew it we were feeding several persons. We were ministering to one need after another.

It was nothing extravagant but God used us to be his hands and feet for the day touching lives, which had been forgotten.

It is funny how we take for granted the fact that we can afford coffee of our choice and food.  For others they wait for people to show up with a kind heart and they eat what is provided.

There were a series of events, which lead to us doing this.

You see, I always felt that God needed more out of me and that I was created to be more than just an ordinary person.

Spiritually, I was obese.

Sunday after Sunday, I would go to the house of God and I would eat but there was no spiritual exercise (outlet) to release all that I have been hear and reading since I was a child.

You see, I was spiritually overweight and I had to do something about that through the help of the Holy Spirit.   I pledged that I would start pouring out into others.  This created a balance, a spiritual workout from all the eating of the word.

Hence, I start ministering in every situation, the good, the bad and the indifferent. I am the church and the church is within me therefore everywhere I go, is affected by the God in me.

My counselor once said, “When I show up I carry the authority of God.” It took root in my spirit and now it bearing fruits.  The atmosphere will never remain the same. When I show up, because Christ lives in me people want to tap into their best and are motivated to be the best them.

All of us are change agents for Christ. How much we believe this and act on it is another thing. However, it does not change the facts.

What are you doing to help the weary in spirit today?

You might never be able to go to Camden or to a foreign country is there a “Camden” near you?  Can you use what God has given you to make a difference?

I mean will you activate your talent for the Kingdom.

One sure thing I know is when you do the will of God it brings peace and you can rest in the fact that he leads us beside still waters and He is the great shepherd.

Do what God is calling you to do and leave the outcome and everything else to Him.

Experiencing God Tranforms Lives by Theresa Siligrini

Dec8

2 Timothy 2:7 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.”

God Transforms Lives

Google Image

What an incredible God experience today at work. We had our Christmas party today and I arrived early to eat before I worked. I was in line behind a young mentally challenged girl who actually volunteered in my office and she was with her companion.

The companion and I did so small talk about all the great food, and how nice that the company does this for the employees and volunteers.

Then when we went into the dining area to sit down I decided to sit with them. Immediately the woman and began talking and she shared how she was a self-employed tutor and that she was flaunt  in Japanese and was teaching young ladies English that were from Japan.

It was sort of a mission field for her church and I said Praise God (in my head I was really praising God for having me sit down with a godly woman) and we just like shared our hearts about our elderly parents and how life isn’t about us, but those in front of us. I even shared my desire to go to Guatemala on a mission trip for church, just to be helpful to the poor.

I said it is not that we do not have our own poor here in the US, but here we still have everything and there they have absolutely nothing…She totally related to what I said. When it was time for me to go to work, we both said it was a pleasure to talk and that she would be praying for God to help me go to Guatemala and I would pray for God guidance with her parents.

That was a great God experience, but not the amazing God experience!

All my life I struggled to interact with people! I was expecting to go into the dining area and sit all by myself and not talk to anyone because that was I did all my life. For me to talk to a complete stranger without fear and interact with someone like I did today was all God. He told me that this is the Theresa I created you to be and I have been changing you from the inside out!!! Praise God!!!

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9

For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.  2 Timothy 2:7

“Prayer is the Battle and the Battle is the Lord’s” by Faith White

Aug1

Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. –Ephesians 6:11 (NRSV)

Photo accessed here.

What is a “battle”? According to the dictionary, it is defined as a ‘prolonged fight between organized armed forces; a long and difficult struggle’.

As people of God’s Kingdom, we were created for this purpose: to fight in a battle. However, common sense tells us that we cannot engage in such warfare without being prepared; one must be properly attired before stepping on the battle field.

Please turn in your Bibles to Ephesians 6:10-18. In this passage, God is speaking clearly to us about the pressing importance of preparing and equipping ourselves to engage in this warfare. It is imperative to our survival that we know and understand the tactics Satan uses to destroy and devour us. To be ignorant of his schemes and attacks is to give him a winning advantage over our lives, health, home, finances, marriage, ministries, government, and businesses.

When we are finished speaking here today, you will walk away understanding and knowing what spiritual warfare is as well as how and when to use the tools we have available to us as children of God.

The battle is not ours.

Simply put, the battle is not for us to fight, but the Lord’s (vv. 10-14). However, there are still specific guidelines we should take caution to follow. For example, it is essential that we are obedient to the Holy Spirit and listen to His voice.

A Christian’s prayer armor.

According to the Apostle Paul, we are to put on the ‘whole armor of God’ in order to stand against the forces of hell that attack us. It is clearly laid out below:

  • Gird your waist with the belt of truth (v. 14).
  • Put on the breastplate of righteousness (v. 14b).
  • Shod your feet with the Gospel of peace (v. 15).
  • Take up the shield of faith (v. 16).
  • Put on the helmet of salvation (v. 17).
  • Wield the sword of the spirit (v. 17b).
  • Pray in the Spirit at all times (v. 18a).

I have been in Christendom long enough to know that there is no other way around this, either our own way or the devil’s way. Some people are drawn to this point without any understanding. However, it is a daily preparation. For example, every day we get dressed before leaving the house. No one who is of a sound mind would leave their home without being dressed!

So why do we step onto the battlefield in the midst of fierce spiritual warfare without the appropriate attire of a Christian?!

It is no wonder why we lose the battle so often!

Know who you are and what you are about.

You are an ambassador for Christ Jesus. Not a headless chicken running around without purpose or plan. Do not settle for anything less – be spiritually acute and learn to know the difference between the counterfeit and the real thing. After all, if you do not know what the real thing is, you may end up repeatedly settling for counterfeit things.

Be an Executive in the Kingdom of God. An Executive person knows who he or she is. The Executive personality has the potential and power to put plans, policies, and laws into effect. May we also be an Executive for the Kingdom of God.

Getting back to God’s basic instructions for us.

Please turn in your Bibles to 1 Samuel 17:1-11. In this passage, Saul and the entire army of Israel had completely lost their will to fight. Why? Because Goliath harassed them until they were physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually impotent.

They were harassed to the point of cowering in places of shelter, simply waiting for Goliath and the Philistine army to devour them.

Let us follow David’s example, as given in this passage, in addressing the attack the Israelites were under.

“Who is this uncircumcised Philistine?!”

The devil will harass you until you have lost your will to fight the good fight of faith. He will not let up until one of two things happen. First, he will break your will to fight any further. Or, you pick up the sword of the spirit and use it to make the devil obey.

Using the sword of the spirit.

How do we use the sword of the spirit?

Let us get back to the basics and use the tools God has provided us with in the Word of God.

Be very mindful at all times that we are in a battle. Always remember that the devil is the master of counterfeit things. He is always showing up with something “better” than what God has provided us with.

Please note, you may find yourself in a spiritual battle lacking spiritual fortitude, which is manifested in ways such as: little to no Bible study, significant decrease in prayer life, no confession of the Word of God, and limited fellowship with strong believers. Should this be the case, the powers of darkness have broken your will to fight.

Remain vigilant and sober minded at all times, remembering that we are in a battle. But, we are not fighting the battle; God is. Do not be afraid, only stand still. Stand and see what Yahweh Tsebaoth (LORD God of Armies) will accomplish on behalf of His people. He is a God of War, an all-consuming fire. The enemy knows this and as such, he is terrified (Hebrews 10:31 and Luke 12:5).

Seeing past the visible into the invisible.

Please turn in your Bibles to 2 Kings 6:8-17. To believe the impossible and increase our faith in God, one must first ‘see the invisible’. This passage in Scripture involves war between Israel and Syria.  The prophet Elisha informed his people of the enemy’s tactics through prophetic insights (v. 12).

  • Prayer is the key to discerning the adversary’s stratagems.  They key to dispelling Elisha’s servant’s panic was vision/eyes being open to see the invisible. Note these crucial words Elisha prayed. He did not ask God simply to show the servant another miracle. He asked for his servant to see into another dimension.
  •  The answer came immediately.  The Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw.  And behold the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire (v. 17).
  • Seeing into the invisible is the key to victorious praying is discerning spiritual issues from God’s perspective rather than mans.
  • Seeing the adversary’s attack plan, and perceiving God’s angelic strike-force (Ephesians 6: 10-18 and Jeremiah 33:3).
  • In reading Ephesians 6:12, we do not wrestle against flesh and blood. The devil is the father of lies.  He is cunning deceiving and a twister.  His main intention is to paralyze the Church by turning us against each other. We are to be praying earnestly for the Church in general so that our eyes will be opened to see in another dimension when the enemy is busy internalizing things. We also need to know who the real enemy is and what we are fighting against. According to Gills Triplett’s “Satan Wartime Manual” number from 1-10.

I will take you a little into Satan’s war room. Here you will find his strategies and tactical war planning manual. Also, you will know all of these strategies and tactics and when I am done reading you will know his plans of attack from A-Z. He will never gain the advantage over you again.

  1. Break their will to fight
  2. Wear down saints and the enemy will control them
  3. Divide and conquer
  4. Never press a child of God too hard (Exodus 14, 2 Chronicle 20)
  5. Shock and Awe
  6. We will impose our will upon the Church
  7. Turn them away from God by changing the law
  8. The Trojan Horse tactics
  9. Rush in and crush
  10. Find out their weakness and exploit it

Conclusion

Last but not least, Ephesians 6:18 reads “all prayer is literally every order of praying, the specific method by which spiritual warfare is carried on.  Prayer includes supplication in the spirit.” This is where the Holy Spirit-assisted prayer is taught and directed (1 Corinthians 14:14).  Paul clearly shows that such praying may include prayer in a different tongue not known to the person praying. Thus, prayer is not so much a weapon or even a part of the armor, as it is the means by which we engage in the battle itself and purpose for which we are armored.

To put on the armor of God is to prepare for the battle.

  • Prayer is the battle itself with God’s word being our chief weapon employed against Satan during our struggle.
