"The winter is past…the flowers are springing up, and the time of singing birds has come…the fig trees are budding, and the grapevines are in blossom," and then he repeats his invitation for her to arise and come away with him (Song of Solomon 2:13).
Like in the Song of Solomon, you have entered into a new season. The Lord is beckoning you, wooing you, inviting you to come away from where you have been and arise into a new place with Him – a place of greater revelation and demonstrat
PRAYING FOR YOUR CHILDREN
That they will know Christ as Savior early in life.
Psalm 63:1, Timothy 3:15
That they will have a hatred for sin. Psalm 97:10
That they will be caught when guilty. Psalm 119:71
That they will be protected from the evil one in each area of their lives: spiritual, emotional, physical. John 17:15
That they will have a responsible attitude in all their interpersonal relationships.
Daniel 6:3
DOING BUSINESS WITH GOD
As Believers who are seeking to advance His Kingdom we have the right and privilege to do business with God.
Why does we need us to do business with Him?
1. God has given mankind dominion over the earth. Therefore, we have the authority to release Him to work when we pray. God has never violated the free will that He gave humankind.
Psalm 8:4-8 says: "What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him? Fo
Hebrews 4:9-11 LB - "So there is a full complete rest still waiting for the people of God. Christ has already entered there......let us do our best to go into that place of rest, too..."
In the life of faith, when you learn that you are living FROM victory and not FOR victory and yield yourself entirely, to your CALLING in Christ, living a life of walking in the Spirit -- that is when you enter the rest of God. You live in your Christ identity, from heaven -- in your God-given authorit
Luke 5:16 - "...Jesus often withdrew to lonely places to pray."
Many want the spiritually intoxicating new wine God is pouring out in this hour, but to hold that new wine, you must have new wineskins. You cannot keep doing the same thing and expect different results.
There is more prayer on Earth today than ever, yet most of it is temporal prayer for everyday things. What if, instead of praying for things you started praying the Psalms?
The Psalms are unique in that they
APPREHENDING THE GOD OF INCREASE
Right now, we celebrate the Holy Spirit bringing us into a divine convergence to position us for a continual increase in wisdom, stature, and favor!
Luke 2:52 reads, "And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men."
WISDOM is the application of your understanding and the supernatural ability to turn your encounters and dreams with God into reality. This increase in the Spirit of Wisdom is being poured
THIS IS YOUR MOMENT! God is raising up a radical movement of misfits for the Kingdom to go where no one else will go and to SAY what no one else will say! This is the season God is giving the remnant of misfits a new name, a new vision, and a fresh new start.
Sons are repenting into a right relationship with God and BACK INTO POSITION. Many have been out of position, diverted from their original Christ calling and purpose through the attacks against what they carry –- BUT NO MORE!
It's essential that we as Spirit-filled Believers understand the power of our words and decrees.
Isaiah 55:11 is a word in season for every hungry Believer to take advantage of. As you open your mouth and speak out your DESTINY, you will breathe life into your situations and see impossible circumstances turn around.
In 2024 the Holy Spirit wants to build the lives of our children, family, friends, community and the Church; and it is vital that we come into agreement with
Hosea 2:16 - "'It will come about in that day,' declares the Lord, 'that you will call Me Ishi....'"
Ishi, in Hebrew, is a name which means, "my husband" and expresses the intimacy of a close relationship. You might be in a desert, but the desert doesn't have to be in you. Jesus said there are springs of water in you, "springing up into everlasting life."
The springs begin to well up, and praise and adoration flows out of you. Before you know it, the springs are watering everythi
"My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working." - John 5:17
We work and partner with what he is already doing in Heaven. The father works in heaven and we work with the Holy Spirit on earth. "So Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he "sees" the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise."
We are totally dependent on the Holy Spirit to discern the Father's will for us in advancing
Break the bondage of a passive spirit. Take up the sword of the Spirit and embrace the fight of world challenging faith.
Speaking to the mountains in your life and believing what you say transitions you from seeing God as far off in Heaven, answering your requests, to you recognizing that God lives by His Holy Spirit inside of you.
You can bear the burdens of others and you are the go-between for them before God. You ask on their behalf, in faith, believing, then GO and
"Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? What communion has light with darkness? What agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what part has he who believes with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God."As God has said: I will live in them and walk in them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 'Therefore, 'Come out from among them and be separate,
The first thing God did was speak with His voice. We are created in the image and likeness of God. When we speak through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, there is power to shift atmospheres from darkness to light.
The enemy always aims to shut down your voice. Our voice, anointed and inspired by the Holy Spirit, is one, if not the greatest, weapon God has given us to shift atmospheres. We've been created with a voice. In the beginning, God said, "Let there be light" (Genesis 1:3)
"Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the Cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." - Hebrews 12:1-2
We are all running the race in our calling in Christ. The Lord wants
Job 33:4, "The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty has given me life."
When God breathes in us and upon us, we are receiving His inspiration. Our goal in worship is not just to sing a song to God but to get to such a place of intimate connection that inspiration takes place where we receive a deposit from Heaven.
The result of being inspired by God brings us into alignment with His thoughts, His heart and brings a flow of true worship in our lives. He is looking f
The passionate pursuit of God will deliver you from the religious mindsets that attempt to bind and hinder you. Find freedom and victory as you move into a powerful place of pursuit in the Holy Spirit. Find the high places of the Holy Spirit!
Faith is the foundation for our authority. Believing the words of scripture is essential for our faith to be alive and active.
God wants to release His people from condemnation, fear, and shame. These are the foes of authority. They keep
In Acts 26:16, when Saul met Jesus in the explosive glory fire, Jesus "appointed" him to bear witness of Him.
The Lord is releasing a glory fire (fire of the Lord that brings sudden breakthrough and divine turnarounds) as in the days of Saul, and out of that fire He is "appointing" a generation of the Sons of Thunder (see Mark 3:17).
Thunder (in the reference in Mark 3), in the Greek means to roar. These Sons of Thunder, who will be released throughout the earth, will roar with the voi
"be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord..." Ephesians 5:18-21
This season is going to be a season of saturation and impartation of the Holy Spirit. It's time to get SATURATED! Drink well of the Holy Spirit. Welcome the Holy Spirit. Don't be casual, but be intentional about being radical for God's Spirit to saturate your life.
After Jesus was resurrected from the dead He spoke
Acts 16:16 - "One day, as we were going to the house of prayer, we encountered a young slave girl who had an evil spirit of divination, the spirit of Python. She had earned great income for her owners by being a fortune-teller."
Paul and Silas were on their way to the house of prayer but were sidetracked in their path by a slave girl. The spirit of Python seeks to distract and then enslave. Its objective is to distract those on their way to prayer; those who are on their way to implement t
"For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and dense darkness [all] peoples, but the Lord shall arise upon you [O Jerusalem], and His glory shall be seen on you." - Isaiah 60:2
He's rising upon you right now! You have purpose in His Kingdom; what you do with this seed and in 2024 will be determined by you. If you keep the seed (your destiny, business, family) in your hands, God cannot activate the fullness of His blessings and goodness.
This year, determine in your soul (your mind
You are invited by the Lord to leave your place of comfort and small thinking. You align yourself with the wrong people, the wrong future, and the wrong places because it's comfortable. But it's never comfortable to be courageous and move forward in life.
God is inviting you into a battle of internal transition. He is going after a retreating spirit that is empowered by the fear of pain, confrontation, shame, and the fear of people. Your own will and heart cannot give up now; you must ma
"I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in Me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in Me and believes in Me will never ever die..." John 11:25-26
Jesus, the Son of God, came to manifest what He is and has always been – Resurrection and Life! Jesus did not come to earth to teach about a theory; He was and is forever the resurrection life for everyone who receives Him. Jesus Christ did not only raise the dead, like He did Lazarus, but brought to Believers the reve
We are continually reaping a harvest from what we have sown. Sow the goodness of God into the lives of others through your Christ calling and reap a harvest of God's favor.
Whatever your life looks like right now—wherever you are in your faith walk—you can begin anew. Recognize your current spiritual output, release it to the Lord (repenting as necessary and breaking any word curses you have spoken), and speak life into every famished place the Spirit of the Lord brings to your heart and
"Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil. and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives." - Hebrews 2:14,15
At the Cross, Jesus broke the power of sin. When He was resurrected, He destroyed the power of death.
"Having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, w
The process you may be going through right now, where God is leading you into something so new that your emotions have felt like a mess. It's where you wake up feeling lost and displaced. It's where you feel moments of being numb and can feel a void of sorts in your soul. It's where you feel such a discontent for what you were once doing, the language you once used, and the vision you once had. You feel like your appetite and affections have somehow shifted overnight, leaving you reeling.
