THE PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY

The Sovereign LORD says today I am your wisdom. It is not necessary to wring your hands wondering how to proceed or what to do in the midst of a difficult situation. I am working to bring harmony among those with whom your heart is knit. Where envy and strife is there is every evil work. You are not on any one's side; you are on My side. When others attempt to compel you to take up their defense open your mouth and say "I am neither for you nor the other party - I am on the LORD'S side!" There is no place for sectarian sentiments or division among My people. Make up your mind that you do not belong to this one or the other group but that you belong to Me. In so doing this will be a point of maturity for you and there will be an almost immediate dividend of blessing accompanied with a freshly opened heaven above you.

The open heaven is your portion says the Father. Do not be distracted. Do not allow anything to take your eyes off of the throne on High. Your authority is there. Your blessing is there. Your provision is there. Your shift - the change you have cried out for is there because you make a positive choice not to get caught up in the barnyard politics of religious striving. You are not a barnyard animal. You are called to be a saint - an Eagle Saint - willing to fly in a solitary formation if necessary to climb the greatest heights and be seated with Me in heavenly places. There will be times when others want you to join their controversy but remember in the days of My flesh when I did not join Myself to man for I knew what was in man. I haven't called you to join with men but to love men. You cannot allow men to dictate what loving them means or the terms of your connection to them. Those who attempt to pressure you into their camp are taking to themselves a presumptive authority over you that belongs only to Me. It is Christ that died for you and Christ that saved you and Christ that is taking you on - so stay faithful to Me, keep walking in love and you will not be derailed in your pursuit of My glory that will come to you and manifest in you and that right quickly.

YOU ARE ANOINTED

Topic: You Are Anointed

Text: "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the
Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing
good, and healing all that were oppressed of the
devil; for God was with him" (Acts 10:38).

Exodus 33:11 says Moses met God face to face.
It wasn’t that he literally saw God’s face,
because God tells him that no one can see it and
live (see Exod. 33:20). It means Moses was
communing directly in God’s presence. You
would think this was the highest possible
encounter one could have with God. However, it
must not have been, because later Moses begs
God to reveal His glory to him (see Exod. 33:18).
Why did
he act as though something was still missing?
Unlike us, Moses had not experienced the glory
within him. When he left the tabernacle where
God was, he didn’t have the same presence
there with him. In addition to the glory without,
we who are in Christ experience the glory within
everywhere we go! Moses would have dreamed
to know what that was like. It’s what Jesus
communicated to the woman at the well in John
4:21-23. It wasn’t about going to a particular
location to meet God, but rather having God in
you everywhere you go. Jesus had that glory and
anointing everywhere He went, and it caused the
oppressed to go free.
Because Jesus lives in you, you are anointed
without and within. That same glory and power
goes everywhere you do! So say this today, “I am
anointed!”

PRAYER
Dear Lord, I thank You that Your glory is within
me today everywhere I go. I shall use it to do
good and minister to those who need it. I declare
today, I am anointed! In Jesus’ Name, amen.

THE PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY

The Sovereign LORD says today that there are wells - deep wells of salvation I am bringing you to. I am pouring out of the seven spirits before the throne even My Spirit of Understanding to reveal and unveil those things that make for godliness and transformation in your life. You will draw out, yes, and beyond that you will suddenly find yourself in the upsurge of those rivers that I promised in My word would flow out of your belly! You will know you are in the river because it will become so easy to hear My voice you will be surprised and stunned by the power and accuracy of what I will cause you to hear and to share with others. You will participate just in a casual conversation and suddenly the power of My voice will shift things to another level and the person beside you will experience transformation and change in a moment of time.

There have been occasions that you opened up and made yourself vulnerable that others mocked and scoffed and wounded you. Surely mockers and religiously misdirected people abound on every hand but the difference is that the power of what is now flowing out of you will cleanse every wound and keep you available and pliable for My use. Like the prophet who could not keep silent so you will be unable to be silent because of the force of My river flowing up from the inside of you. In the midst of this it will be for the purpose of you knowing their hearts and knowing how to effectively pray for those who make light of your testimony. You will sense My presence and you will open your mouth and speak as the oracle of My throne. I can trust you with My word so don't worry about making a false move because my anointing is on you to keep the flow pure and in that purity will come healing for you and great deliverance for others.

KEEP THE MOMENTUM OF FAITH

Topic: Keep The Momentum of Faith

Text: "Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man
draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him"
(Hebrews 10:38).

The reason many people never experience the
full blessing of the Lord is because they don’t
keep pressing into it in spite of resistance. This
world is all about resistance. You can’t come
into success without some hurdles. Thinking of
all the times I fly in an airplane, I always think of
the resistance it takes for the jet to get off the
ground. The level of thrust has to be stronger
than the power of gravity. The plane has to push
hard to get off the ground before it can ever
reach its cruising altitude. For many of us, that
push off the ground is the time when we want to
call it quits. It seems like the time to change
occupations, give up on school, move to a new
town, or quit tithing. It seems like the time to
quit standing in faith for our answer to prayer.
Perhaps we don’t need to change any of those
things, we just need to stay the course until the
momentum kicks in. God will add momentum to
our faith, but too many times we draw back
before that happens. It’s what happened to
Israel in the wilderness. They quit pressing into
the Promised Land when it looked like their basic
necessities were in jeopardy. Don’t draw back
today even though the resistance may be fierce.
God will help you obtain the promise today!

PRAYER
Lord, I make a sound decision to press in by faith.
I will not draw back away from the promises or
the things I know shall come to pass in this
season. Help me press in until I gain the spiritual
momentum You have for me. Amen.

The Sovereign LORD says doors are opening in front of you this day. Things may look closed off and opportunity may seem distant but LOOK AGAIN. I will be petitioned of you this day says the LORD Ask and the door will appear and stand open with fresh potential and blessing that will make its way to you. Knock and the angels assigned to you will cause the gates of impediment to open to you of their own accord and bring you to great liberty. Liberty is your entitlement. Where My Spirit is there is liberty that you will walk in and take full measure of even this day. There are times that discernment is required to realize just what is in front of you. Jesus walked through a door to find his disciples cowering in fear. To them He came through a wall but He actually walked through a door that none could see. I am giving you vision says the Father and with the vision comes not one but multiple opportunities. You get to choose!  

 

As I was with you in the days of constraint and detriment so I am with you this day - in this day of your blessing to bring an effective golden door being ministered to you under this sun. Seek it. Expect it. Know it is your portion and your blessing from My hand. I will bring the miracle but you must cooperate and act.  I'm going to open the way, but I do that by your seeking, by your asking, by your knocking.  And I'm going to show you what's on the other side and you're going to be delighted, you're going to be surprised at times, but you're going to be delighted that your course in life has brought you to the place of effective ministry.  The Lord says, you've done your homework.  You've done your research.  You have searched me.  You have found me and I have been found of you.  And I will found of you.  And people will inquire of the hope that's within you and you're going to be able to draw from the resources of my life inside your life.  

SURROUNDED BY THE WALL OF SALVATION

Topic: Surrounded By The Wall Of Salvation

Text: "In that day, everyone in the land of Judah will
sing this song: Our city is strong! We are
surrounded by the walls of God’s salvation" (Isaiah
26:1 NLT) .

Most of us associate the word salvation with the
peace in our hearts that comes from knowing
the Lord. We also associate it with the fact that
we are promised eternity in Heaven. With both of
these in our lives, we are saved or have
experienced salvation. While salvation includes
both of these things, it is even more extensive.
In Isaiah 26:1, it is literally the Hebrew word
Yeshua which is Jesus. It means aid,
deliverance, health, well-being, victory, and
prosperity. We shouldn’t just think of these
attributes as something that we will only enjoy
someday. This form of salvation is available now
because it is who Jesus is! He is in you, so you
are surrounded with all the things the word
salvation describes. However, the verse above
says that He (salvation) will surround you like a
wall that nothing can invade. We see in the verse
above that when this revelation entered the
hearts of everyone in Judah, they got so excited
they turned it into a song!
Have faith and begin rejoicing that the salvation
wall of Jesus Christ surrounds you. This wall is
complete deliverance and it prevents every form
of evil from invading your life today!

PRAYER
Father, I rejoice in the wall of salvation I have in
Jesus Christ today! Help me grow my faith in this
wonderful truth. I decree that the wall of salvation
surrounds me and I am protected from all
invasion. In Jesus’ Name, amen!

The Sovereign LORD says today I am moving all your challenges to the forefront of My purposes - get ready for change. You will now begin to see stressful issues brought into new forward momentum. Be prepared to advance even in areas of your life you would identify as stagnate and on hold. It may seem like things have been on the shelf for a while but I am changing this - even beginning today. Know this that the change I bring is not something to be anxious about. I am increasing you. It is all about increase, promotion and God-speed acceleration of the promise coming to pass in your life. I am not diminishing you, says the LORD Though time has passed this has only been the vintage of My goodness in your life coming to full measure and now you will drink deeply of My faithfulness as never before.

Ministry portion will come to the forefront now. I have a new ministry for you. It is a new shining ministry revealing My glory. Your testimony will be that I have made all things new. I have put an anointing in you that's going to resonate on the inside of you and flow out to others to greatly encourage, renew and set free those that are languishing in the stuck place. I have anointed you to bring liberty and freedom to those who have felt defenseless, lost and in jeopardy. You have an anointing, says the LORD. You have a calling. Part of that calling touches the marketplace, but it extends beyond the marketplace to My house where others serve Me. I am anointing you to make a difference. So just keep moving forward with My love emblazoned upon your heart. I will send those that will come alongside and partner with you. There will be brotherhood in Christ and effectiveness in touching the lives of many, for I am deploying you now in My kingdom and I will give you dominion where you have felt defeated and you will be blessed and others will be blessed and many will rejoice for the fruit and blessing that will be made manifest says the LORD

BREAKING THE GENERATIONAL CURSE

LIGHT FOR THE WAY
(Daily Devotional)

Sunday 24th April 2016

Topic: Breaking The Generational Curse

Text: "Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God,
the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and
mercy with them that love him and keep his
commandments to a thousand generations
(Deuteronomy 7:9).

Generational curses don’t exist because God
punishes the children for the sins of their parents
(see Deut. 24:16). What happens is that the sins
of parents are often picked up by the children,
and the effects of sin get passed down from one
generation to the next. When a parent has a
sinful lifestyle, the children often follow that
pattern. Because of
this tendency we see God having to punish the
sins of families several generations in a row.
Typically in Scripture it lasted four generations
(see Exod. 20:5; Num. 14:18). We who are born
again are literally inducted into a new bloodline
through the blood of Jesus (see 2 Cor. 5:17). As
we draw closer to Him and choose to shed our
old lifestyle, we break the curse from our natural
family line (see Rom. 8:1). This becomes the
seed of righteousness for our descendants. Then
Deuteronomy 7:9 says that God will keep His
covenant with us for a thousand generations.
This generational blessing is much more powerful
than the curse, which only extends to four
generations.
To break the generational curse against your
bloodline, begin by living a righteous lifestyle.
Then speak a blessing over your bloodline and
command every curse to be broken. You are a
righteous seed for every generational curse to
come to an end!

PRAYER
Father, I thank You that I am in the bloodline of
Christ and am the righteous seed for my
descendants. I command every curse over my
family line to be broken, and I declare a
generational blessing to be upon it. In Jesus’
Name, amen!

THE PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY

The Sovereign LORD says today refuse to be distracted from My glory. I said in My word I would meet all your need out of My riches in glory. When the enemy distracts you from My glory he is attempting to delay the manifestation of breakthrough that My glory produces. When the enemy seduces you saying "lo here is Christ" or "lo there is Christ" know this that My anointing that changes YOUR life is within you not in some outward resource. I have not commissioned you nor ordained you to chase after anointings. The greatest anointing available to you is resident in you in My glory. Look within. My kingdom is within you. My kingdom is not some process or outcome that comes to you through the progression of some linear purpose through time. My glory is a resident, dynamic power on the inside of you working its way out to change every aspect of your life.

So know this today and walk in recognition of the fact that My kingdom is within you. Christ in you is your hope of glory. Christ outwardly proposed by men to be in some ministry or in religious infrastructure is not your hope of Glory says the Father. Do not be distracted. There are many false Christs. There are many misdirected men and women who are blindly leading My people away from who I already am on the inside of you. You are not waiting for anything. I AM already here on the inside of you. You are not deficient in any way for I AM on the inside of you pressing out of your belly in a river of living water that is reshaping your land for My glory. Press into My glory says the Father. Turn toward who I am on the inside of you. Know My glory and rejoice in My glory for there the price that was paid will make its full dividend of blessing to be made manifest in your life.

CONQUERING DISCOURAGEMENT

Topic: Conquering Discouragement

Text:  " …But David encouraged himself in the Lord his
God " (1 Samuel 30:6).

Have you ever wondered how most of us would
have felt if we were truly in David’s shoes
walking out to meet Goliath? We might have
been like the rest of the crowd standing on the
sidelines, probably thinking that little David was
going to get whipped! I have always wondered if
there had been even the tiniest bit of doubt
trying to hit David’s mind to make him have
second thoughts as he marched out toward the
giant. Perhaps not, but I am sure David, human
like all of us, had to overcome some
discouraging thoughts. He actually did so one
time later when he experienced a terrible
invasion by the Amalekites, and all his family
members were kidnapped. David wept until he
had no more strength to cry (see 1 Sam. 30:4).
Yet somewhere that same conquering spirit he
once had against Goliath rose up in David. He
kept His eyes on God and began to find
encouragement once again.
Perhaps there is a “Goliath” or some
“Amalekites” attempting to discourage some
areas of your life. Get your eyes back on the
Lord and expect Him to cause a conquering spirit
to rise up inside you. Expect to overcome and
remove the source of all discouragement today!

PRAYER
Father, I thank You that I have a conquering
spirit. I make a choice to cast off the spirit of
discouragement concerning _____________________.
Lord, help me see a new perspective, and I
command every spirit of darkness that would try
to dishearten me to leave! In Jesus’ Name, amen!

Be presence driven today says the LORD and not bouncing from one crisis to another or one vain pursuit to another. Choose not to be a Martha - scurrying about and tripping over My feet. Stop the foolishness and simply be a Mary - lost in My gaze, sitting at My feet, rejoicing in the communion of heaven that will refresh and renew you in the midst of the noise and activity around you.

he find faith on the earth?" (Luke 18:8)

Someone once said, “There is something about
God, that will pass by crowds of people, just to
do a miracle for the one who will cry out in
faith.” We see this concept with the woman with
the issue of blood in Mark 5:25-34. Weak from
her condition, she pressed through a multitude.
She pressed even when circumstances made it
difficult, but her determined faith got the
immediate attention of Jesus. Her faith literally
pulled the power out of Him, causing Jesus to
pause from the rest of the crowd and zero in on
her. The disciples were like many of us and
couldn’t understand why Jesus took His
attention off the multitude and put it on this
woman. They didn’t realize that Jesus had felt
her pull
of unrelenting faith!
God is looking across the earth right now for
some believers who have unrelenting faith to
believe that the power of God is going to sweep
nations, cities, homes, and lives. God wants to
show Himself strong for us, but He is looking to
find some faith. Hebrews 11:6 says that you
cannot please God without faith. So declare
today, “Yes, Lord, You will find faith in me!”

PRAYER
Dear Lord, I pray that I will be one of those in
whom You will find unrelenting faith as You look

The Sovereign LORD says today this is a time of "night season intimacy". As I stood by Paul in the night so I am coming to you in visitation to stand by you and cause you to receive that which I would communicate with you. I will bring night visions to you. I will open things up to you and draw back the curtain of the natural and show you what is really going on around you in the realm of principalities and powers. You are not isolated or left to yourself. As the young prophet I will cause you to know that greater in number are those that are for you than those that are against you opposing. I will make the realm of spiritual things more real and substantial to you than you have ever expected. As Paul who looked in on the Roman church by the Spirit, so you will awaken and not know whether you went somewhere in the Spirit or in reality.

Have you considered translation as a form of transportation? Scoffers may mock and religious authorities ridicule but as happened to Philip with the Ethiopian eunuch you will find yourself in one place and then another without reliance on the instrumentality of a natural mode of transportation. You see says the Father you are not a natural being having a spiritual experience you are a spiritual being having a natural experience in time and space. Adopt this mentality today knowing that you belong to Me and I have you safely tucked away in My pavilion. Though the world, the earth and all things in the Spirit be opened to you in vision, discernment and unveiling do not be intimidated. Just hold on to My hand and I will lead you. Do not expect others to understand. This isn't about impressing others - it is about a new place of understanding and authority in Me - where I get all the glory and you get to enjoy the benefits of what I have given you this day.

The Sovereign LORD says today that it is not too late. The enemy has told you it is too late but it is not too late. The circumstance and the situation say that it is too late but know this - I am the God of time and eternity. I hold all your days in My hand. All of your days are written in My book and that book is not a tragedy or a twice told tale of foolish hope. Keep your eye upon Me. Refuse to believe or allow the circumstance to dictate to you the parameters of your expectations. I am stepping back through time and through the circumstances and situations of your life. I am turning back the devastation and disappointment and bringing forth beauty from ashes and renewed hope from disillusionment and what appeared to be utter failure.

The things that are seen are temporary - subject to change. The things that are seen are subject to those things that are eternal. Relinquish your outcomes to Me. Your hand will not bring salvation. You must trust Me and listen to My voice and obey promptly that which I have assigned you to do. Give Me your Isaacs and your Ishmaels and trust that I will superintend and arrange your life in such a manner that the benediction of your heart will be "Lord you do all things well..." You are going to have to come up higher and begin to think My thoughts with My mind or nothing will make sense as I begin to move. The promotion I bring is promotion into what looks like chaos to the natural mind but is in reality a pattern and plan so broad and so deep that finite man could never anticipate just how much blessing and destiny and purpose I am establishing in you and through you says the LORD

Text: "…Thy words were heard, and I am come for thy
words" (Daniel 10:12).

There is a lot of speaking that goes on in the
world in any given day. I think about some of the
not so nice words I hear on television or in
public, and I imagine how much God must get
weary hearing all the bad things spoken every
day worldwide. That said, I think God is anxious
to hear our words when they line up with His
Holy Word. I can picture the heavenly hosts and
the Lord Himself just scanning the planet waiting
to hear godly, Bible-based speech. In the story of
Daniel, there was an angel who was literally
assigned and waiting to go get Daniel’s words.
One reason is that Daniel was one of those who
used his words correctly, so Heaven was eager
to gather and utilize his words for a good
purpose.
Undoubtedly, God and the angels are still waiting
for God’s words to be spoken through us from
the earth (see Ps. 103:20). Words are powerful.
God created the world with words. Proverbs
18:21 says that our words produce either life or
death and even set nature in motion (see James
3:6). Prayer itself is a series of words.
Amazingly, God uses
human words to carry out His plans upon earth.
Speak some words today that you want the
angels to hear so they can be released to move.
Remember today that your words are heard!

PRAYER
Father, I release words of blessing today as I
speak Your Word. Let my words be sweet in Your

Drink deeply of My faithfulness. Let the streams of My grace flow over you today and hydrate you with My goodness. I have placed a fountain within you to refresh and renew you when your spirits are dry and your heart is discouraged. As David of old make a choice to encourage yourself in Me when you can find nothing outwardly to be a strength to you. I am the rock that you can run to and out of that rock will come a river of pure refreshing to strengthen and vivify you when all other resources have failed.

I will not leave you where you are says the LORD I will take you on. I will take you out of the dry places and bring you to your Jordan crossing. Come to the banks of your low place this day. Know that I inhabit the high and lofty place with those that are of a contrite and humble spirit. My purpose is to revive and rejuvenate you not to diminish or scourge you. There have been those who claim that what you are suffering is by My hand but know this - they are impugning My goodness by so alleging. I came that you might have life and life more abundantly and I haven't changed My mind about that in your situation. Open your heart. Hear My words. Make necessary adjustments and change.

Topic: Unbreakable By Difficulties

Topic: "Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with
you; do not look around you in terror and be
dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and
harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you;
yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My
[victorious] right hand of rightness and justice"
(Isaiah 41:10 AMP).

Dealing with the difficulties of life is like
exercise. Once you press through it, the next
time is easier. Similarly, once you have walked
through a particular trial, you tend to respond
differently to new challenges. Even though God
didn’t cause the trial, He still uses these
hardships to our advantage. We get tougher in
the spirit. We learn to wield
our spiritual weapons, use discernment, and
become more accurate with the Word of God.
Then the next time something comes up you
stand there with a new approach. You look at
new problems with a hardened attitude and think,
“Aww, been there before, done that, and wore
the T-shirt!” That’s how warriors respond to war
—they get a little hardened to the pain of battle.
Not because they want to be cold-hearted and
mean, but the fierceness of war demands it. We
need to look at our past trials and realize that, if
we stayed connected to God through it all, these
battles have made us stronger in the spirit and
hardened to difficulty

PRAYER
Father, I ask You to take everything the devil
meant to cause me harm and use it instead to
make me a stronger spiritual warrior. Cause me to
be fearless and hardened to difficulty so that I will
always stand strong in You. In Jesus’ Name,

So press into the pressure and you will break out into the kingdom. The kingdom suffers violence and the violent take it by force. Make it your determination not to take no for an answer. I am a God of yes. All My promises are yes and amen to those who have abandoned themselves to Me. I will deliver you from the mire of circumstances. The consequences of your choice to obey Me will be blessing and not diminishment. Those who have threatened and spoken against you will be marginalized. Bless them though they are your enemies. Bless them, forgive them and release them to Me. I am capable and committed to addressing every concern of your heart for I am a loving Father and you are My beloved child!

SOUNDS OF TRANSFORMATION

Topic: Sounds of Transformation

Text: "This people have I formed for myself; they shall
shew forth my praise" (Isaiah 43:21).

God is always working to change you for the
better and is doing the same in the entire Body
of Christ. He will have for Himself a glorious
Church. You may feel in your life today that you
are not progressing or growing spiritually like you
should. Maybe it seems like the Church itself is
failing more than succeeding. Regardless of how
it appears, God is forming you for Himself and is
transforming the entire Body of Christ into
something spectacular. You may not see the
details now, because healthy growth is hard to
notice on a daily basis. So even when you don’t
realize it, God is growing us. However, unlike we
often do, God doesn’t throw His hands in the air
and say, “Oh, this isn’t going to get anywhere; I
give up!” No, the Bible says He finishes what He
begins. Philippians 1:6 says, “Being confident of
this very thing, that he which hath begun a good
work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus
Christ.” In other words, God will not give up
transforming His people. He will get what He is
after and that is a people who are so
transformed that a new sound will be heard in
the land!

PRAYER
Father, I pray for Your people today. Transform us
into a people who will give praise to Your Name.
Transform me, Lord, into a testimony each and
every day, and I choose to be obedient to Your
guidance as Your good work is performed in me.
In Jesus’ Name, amen.

BREAKING THE SPIRIT OF JEZEBEL

LIGHT FOR THE WAY
  (Daily Devotional)

Friday 15th April 2016

Topic: Breaking The spirit of Jezebel

Text: "Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate
that woman Jezebel… (Revelation 2:20 NIV)"

The Bible says that the Church of Thyatira was
tolerating Jezebel. Obviously it wasn’t the literal
Jezebel of the Old Testament who by now was
dead. It was the demonic spirit that once ruled
through her. A spirit of Jezebel has two main
goals: First, to attack the prophetic Word of the
Lord. Literal Jezebel attacked it by killing God’s
prophets. She threatened Elijah with death (see 1
Kings 19:1-2). It affected his confidence so
badly that he ran and hid. Second, Jezebel offers
a tainted version of the truth. Revelation 2:20
says she did this at Thyatira. Because they
tolerated it, perhaps out of wrong motives or
even because of ignorance or fear, they were led
astray.
Like Elijah, a Jezebel spirit attacks the prophetic
word in your heart and uses circumstances to
make you second-guess it. Secondly, it wants to
make you question your beliefs so you will
compromise, like Thyatira. To break its power,
first get alone with God. Elijah got alone and
heard again the Lord’s voice to regain his
confidence (see 1 Kings 19:9-15). Secondly,
reaffirm what you believe from Scripture. Had
Thyatira done that, they might not have tolerated
her. Don’t tolerate any hint of a Jezebel spirit.
Rise up today and tell it to go in Jesus’ Name!

PRAYER
Father, open my eyes today to the operation of
Jezebel against my life. I refuse to tolerate that
spirit. I also reaffirm that I believe the prophetic
words spoken over me and I hold fast to my
biblical beliefs. I bind a Jezebel spirit, in Jesus’
Name. Amen!

THE PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY

The Sovereign LORD says today render to Caesar that which is Caesar's and render to My kingdom the balance of your life in trust and expectation that I do all things perfectly in My timing. You are not subject beloved, to the economy of man. You are not bound nor limited by the valuation that men lay upon your life. What man extracts from you I return seven fold for you are My beloved and it is My kingdom that rules over all. Fret not. Fret not when the kingdoms of this world impose their agenda upon your life. This world's governments, rulers and potentates hold the staff by My indulgence and there is nothing that man can take from you or do to you that I am ultimately not in charge of.

Even as I said in My word. My rule and My lordship over your life is the superintending force that provides for you and promotes you and elevates you into an experience of being seated with Me far above all power, or might or any name that can be named in this earth. Your treasuries are sheltered not in a bank vault or a protected account held by the institutions of men. Your treasuries are secure by My hand and you do not have to wait to exploit the dividends of that resource in your life. Let your heart rise in faith and let your mind begin to cognate with a deep and over arching comprehension of My sovereignty even over the mundane matters of finance and transactions of natural resources. I am your banker says the Father and I am making the deposit of heaven in your life to cause you to ride prosperously above the high places of the earth even this day.

MAKE IT A GOOD DAY

LIGHT FOR THE WAY
   (Daily Devotional)

Thursday 14th April 2016

Topic. Make It a Good Day

Text: "And God saw every thing that he had made, and,
behold, it was very good…" (Genesis 1:31).

Looking at the many things in creation that God
created, we stand in awe at how wonderful they
are. We are given the account of the six days of
creation, where God listed all the things He
made and said they were very good. Yet often
overlooked is the day when light and darkness
were separated, when God created “day.”
Sometimes, with all that goes on in the world we
approach our day wondering what events may
await us. Of course, every person has had what
would seem like a bad day. However, God wants
us to tap into a truth about how to have good
day regardless of what occurs during it. Since
the Lord made the day, we need to agree with
Him and call it good. Psalms 118:24 says, “This
is the day which the Lord hath made.” This verse
tells us how to make it a good day. It says, “…we
will rejoice and be glad in it.” What are we to be
glad in? We are glad because it’s a good day!
Not long ago I heard one of my son’s football
coaches say, “Make today a good day!”
That is how we should live. Challenges can face
us on any given day, but because the Lord made
this day you can call it good and choose to make
it a very good day!

PRAYER
Dear Lord, You made everything, including today. I
call this a good day by faith and I rejoice in it. I
say right now, I shall have a very good day! In
Jesus’ Name, amen.

The Sovereign LORD says today this is water walking time. I am taking you places says the LORD- things are changing and the move is on. Look not at the winds and the waves of adversity. Refuse to be influenced by those who only wish to remain behind in the safe place. Be a risk taker. Be a risk taker for as you step out you will find Me walking on those waves that others suggest will only pull you down and destroy you. Be found faithful says the LORD. Trust Me. Walk on the water with Me. Step out by faith. Know that I am the fourth Man in the fire. You won't be moving forward alone. I will enlarge your step as you take the plunge expecting and knowing that I am not about failure or loss or disappointment. I am in you and I will not be disappointed therefore I will not allow you to be disappointed.

You were not born to the kingdom to play it safe says the LORD. I have raised you up and brought you into the earth with a specific assignment. The time is now. Do what you can with what you have and stay faithful and persistent. As you are a good steward with what I have already provided you I will send more and more and more. There will be no lack. There will be no limitation of provision, direction, wisdom or favor. I am giving you favor with those you need to have favor with. Those who turn aside and reject you will be marginalized in your life. Leave them to Me. Keep pressing on. You success will be found not in man's approval but in the overwhelming blessing I am pouring out upon you as you commit your way to Me.

THY KINGDOM COME

LIGHT FOR THE WAY
   (Daily Devotional)

Teusday 12th April 2016

Topic: Thy Kingdom Come

Text: "…Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, as in
heaven, so in earth" (Luke 11:2).

This excerpt from Luke 11 is a famous line from
what is commonly called the Lord’s Prayer.
Truthfully, Jesus didn’t pray this prayer just so
we could repeat it. It is actually a guideline on
how to pray and which things to prioritize in
prayer. Among them was a call upon God
for His Kingdom rule to have the preeminence
and that His will would be manifest in our lives.
However, the specific words in the prayer, “thy
kingdom come, thy will be done,” are spoken not
as formal requests, but rather as a strong
decree. This seems to be the one part of the
prayer that you almost want to repeat verbatim.
It isn’t that you are commanding God, but rather
it seems that you should say it in order to
command yourself. You are telling yourself that
you will live under God’s Kingdom rule and that
you won’t allow yourself to get outside of His
will.
Declare today for God’s Kingdom rule to
manifest over you and that you will walk in His
will. Say it many times. There is something about
your ears hearing you say it that solidifies its
truth in your heart. With God’s Kingdom rule
upon you and His will being your priority, you
can’t help but experience breakthrough. His
Kingdom is upon you now!

PRAYER
Father, I declare Your Kingdom come and Your will
be done in my life. I make this decree and say it
shall come to pass and cause me to live in
breakthrough every day. In the Name of Jesus,
amen.

The Sovereign LORD says today that the treasuries of heaven are opening up to you. My favor and My bounty are your portion as you go into this new week. Open your heart and align your life with My truth and My direction. This isn't something you receive from man. I have anointed men to teach and to reveal but beloved there is a point that I want you to come to Me and receive from Me directly. My greatest purpose is worked out in your life when you look to Me and not to another. When you seek Me directly there will be the impartation of new life not just to you but to all of those around you that have been asking questions that you have found difficult to answer. Take no thought when you are challenged by the skeptic or unbeliever for I am going to surprise you with what comes out of your mouth in answering those with the hardest hearts.

I am the God of surprises and I have some pleasant things coming your way. I am breaking off limitation in the area of natural things and even in relationships. There are certain issues that has been written off that I am restoring. Look for this and expect it to begin very soon. You don't have to do a thing to make it happen this is by My hand. It is coming says the LORD,  it is knocking at your door. It's all about the joy and the peace that My kingdom is made up of. I am not willing for you to live without fullness of joy. I will no longer allow you to live without the level of joy that My Son died to bring into your life. So expect the sudden and the surprising to begin to take place. I will flow through you out to others as My wisdom comes suddenly to your mouth and it will manifest even in your personal life.

The sovereign LORD says today I want to give you a new mirror. I want you to begin to see yourself as I see you. The mirror that you have been looking in has distorted the reflection of how you see yourself. The reflection that you see is not the reflection that I see. I want to give you a perspective that is going to manifest before your eyes and cause you to see yourself as I see you. You have perceived yourself as shallow in your spiritual understanding and not capable of receiving the deep revelations that are in My word. You look in My word and listen to others teach My word and think "where do they get this understanding?" Those depths are also in you says the LORD I am opening your eyes and illuminating My word to you in a greater measure because you are a lot deeper spiritually than you give yourself credit for.

There are people around you that do not have the longing or desire for deep things and I am changing that. They do not see the depths of My Spirit in themselves and they don't see the depths of My Spirit on the inside of you. When they glance at you they see one thing but they do not see in you what I see and what I am revealing in this hour. The LORD says, I have put My depths down on the inside of you. I am sounding out your depths. I will be measuring your depths in the next few months because I want you to know what I have placed down on the inside of you. Depths to such a degree that no natural light can penetrate. The natural mind cannot conceive these things because they are spiritually understood. Now is the time and now is the season for you to open your heart and come aside into the secret place. I will commune with you and show you things that you know not of and you will be changed. This is My portion for you and this is the answer to the cry of your heart says the LORD

THE ANOINTING OF THE SENT ONE

LIGHT FOR THE WAY
  (Daily Devotional)

Sunday 11th April 2016

Topic: The Anointing of The Sent One

Text: "Come now therefore, and I will send thee…"
(Exodus 3:10).

The word apostolic simply means “sent.” It
means God endorses you and therefore is
sending you to represent Him for a particular
task, just like He sent Moses to Pharaoh (see
Exod. 3:10). When Moses encountered Pharaoh,
there was no mistake about who sent him
because he had several factors in place.
To be apostolic doesn’t mean you become an
apostle, but it means you carry a “sent one”
anointing. We all need to operate under the
power of sending. It means we don’t rise up and
do things on our own, but we wait for certain
factors to align. Whether your part in God’s
Kingdom is ministerial leadership or volunteer
support, it needs an apostolic or sent-one
anointing upon it. The two key characteristics of
this sending anointing are fruit and recognition.
If you are truly called to help in a church by
working in the sound department or prayer
ministry, you will have fruit to show for it.
Secondly, your gifts and abilities will be
recognizable to other believers and ministry
leaders. These factors must be present for those
called to full-time ministry as well. Every one of
us must be willing to humble ourselves until both
legitimate fruit and recognition become evident.
God wants you to be endowed with a sending
anointing so you can influence people in an
amazing way this year!

PRAYER
Father, I ask that You would mold me and develop
my character. I humble myself and allow You to
place a mature apostolic anointing upon me so
that I can be a blessing in Your Kingdom. I wait
on You for the full manifestation of a sending
anointing! In Jesus’ Name, amen.

The Sovereign LORD says today I am doing a new thing in your life. Though My plans were established from the foundation of the earth I have stored up some blessings to be revealed now - even this week. Open your heart and look expectantly for what I am doing today in your situation. It may look stagnant, as though nothing will ever change, but that is not how things really are. The things that are seen are temporal and changeable. Say that in your heart. See in your heart - blazoned across the threshold of your inner man "SUBJECT TO CHANGE". I am a changeless God that requires you to live in a state of anticipated change. Your security and stability does not arise because of what man does or plans or concedes to. Your security is in Me.

So be at peace says the Father. Come into the place of rest. Trust and know that your assignments and the tasks that I put before you are not in vain. Do not allow the urgency of outward demands to usurp the priorities and initiatives of heaven in your life. I am working with you. I am working in you. I am working through you. You are not a spectator to the process so never assume that you will sit idly by without any demand being placed upon your faith. Be a risk taker. I favor what you do, not what you think, or what you think you believe. You are not going to think yourself into breakthrough, you are going to walk yourself into breakthrough as you trust in Me and step out this day and every day with a radical expectation that I will change the things that need to be changed and rewrite your destiny according to My expectations for you and not man's.

RIVERS OF DELIVERANCE

LIGHT FOR THE WAY
   (Daily Devotional)

Saturday 9th April 2016

Topic: Rivers Of Deliverance

Text: "He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath
said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living
water "(John 7:38).

From the Garden of Eden a river flowed and
separated into four different tributaries, which
the Bible describes in detail (see Gen. 2:10-14).
That detail indicates that God wants us to see
something. I believe they each represent a “river”
or expression of prayer. The rivers are Pison,
Gihon, Hiddekel, and Euphrates. Pison means
“increase.” It speaks of provision and our
physical needs being met. Gihon means “bursting
forth.” It’s sometimes described like a long
garden hose that bursts forth at the end. This is
intercession and travail in birth. It takes time, but
then suddenly the miracle bursts forth. Hiddekel
means “rapid.” This is intense white water, and
this river was pointed toward the wicked nation
of Assyria. It speaks of intense spiritual warfare
in prayer pointed at the devil. Lastly, Euphrates
means “fruitfulness.” This is prayer that involves
worship and commitment to God that produces
Christian fruit in our lives.
The Bible teaches us that there are rivers
(plural) that come from our spirit (see John
7:38). They each produce different results.
Sometimes the anointing will be upon you asking
for your needs; other times it will be warfare or
intercession. Be sensitive in prayer today and
allow the Holy Spirit to manifest different
expressions or “rivers” to produce deliverance!

PRAYER
Holy Spirit, I make myself available to the many
different expressions and rivers of prayer that You
want to flow from my spirit. Help me learn to flow
in these prayer rivers with precision and accuracy
so the deliverance can come forth. In Jesus’
Name, amen.

PROPHETIC INSTRUCTION

“Be sensitive in prayer this day, for there are
unique rivers of anointing that come forth from
your spirit. Even as you pray in the Spirit shall
there manifest rivers of deliverance that shall
change circumstances and move mountains.”

The sovereign LORD says today surrender to My peace. Let My peace be the umpire in your life deciding with all finality every matter of concern to you. Your peace is not found in the disposition of outward circumstances. Peace is not the absence of conflict. Though conflict may rage around you just come down to a place of rest and snuggle into My embrace. I have you and hold you safe in My arms. The winds and waves of man's shrill insistence that you do things their way will eventually pass. I will execrate them from your life as a contaminant to the peace that I am multiplying to you this day. Trust Me. Look to Me. Know that I have everything in hand.

This time things won't turn out the way the enemy might expect. The enemy sets his snares and lays his traps but he isn't counting on your refusing to come out of the secret place. There is a place of rest and trust the enemy cannot trespass says the LORD Anchor yourself there. Even though from without the enemy might clang and clatter and threaten and defy you - know this that I am coming through for you. You can trust in the finished work of Calvary. Let go of all unreasoning concern and trust in My goodness. Know that I am your peace and I am your joy. I am defending you and preserving you.

DISCERNING THE SEASONS

Friday 8th April 2016

Topic: Discerning The Seasons

Text: "But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye
have no need that I write unto you" (1
Thessalonians 5:1).

The apostle Paul spoke to the Church of
Thessalonica as those who were mature
examples of people who were very aware of the
hour in which they were living (see 1 Thess.
1:7-10). He talked to them throughout both
books of Thessalonians in this manner. At one
point he reiterated that they didn’t even need
anyone to rehearse the realities of the present
season because their eyes were already open
(see 1 Thess. 5:1).
There are constantly changing seasons in the
spirit. Some are shorter seasons we need to
discern, like those pertaining to special
outpourings of the Holy Spirit to emphasize
certain truths. One example is the great healing
revival of the ’50s and ’60s when divine healing
was being restored. Then are times and seasons
pertinent to the sovereign prophecies of
Scripture progressing us toward the endtimes.
The Holy Spirit wants His church to be aware of
the changing times and seasons not only as they
pertain to the Body of Christ as a whole, but
also to local groups and churches. If you stay
mindful of the realm of the spirit, you can
recognize the present spiritual seasons so that
the nothing takes you by surprise.

PRAYER
Father, I ask that You would help me be aware of
the times and seasons upon the Church. Help me
be mindful of that which is taking place in the
spirit so that I will handle it with maturity and
spiritual readiness. In Jesus’ Name, amen.

The Sovereign LORD says today I have not called you to strife and contention. Let strife cease says the Lord Refuse to contend or to strive and wrangle with those around you. They may claim authority over you or insist that you listen to them but turn away from such and put your confidence in Me. Immerse yourself in My word and My truth and refuse to defend yourself or seek occasion of offense against those who have maligned and slandered you. I will deal with them. I will execrate them from your life in a conspicuous way if you will choose to be a part of the solution and not part of the ongoing problem. Get quiet in your soul. Look to what I say about you and not what others say or insist regarding your life and your testimony.

If you are going to contend says the LORD - contend for the faith. If you are are going to resist - resist the devil and He will flee from you. If you are going to fight then do not fight as one that beats the air, rather fight the good fight of faith against the spirit of unbelief in the earth. Get your eyes off of man and get them on Me. With all your ability seek out My thoughts and My mind and My Spirit. It doesn't matter what people say or think about you. When your ways are pleasing to Me I will cause even your enemies to be at peace with you. Stop obsessing over the opinions of men and commit your way to My purposes and lean not to your own understanding. It is time for you to do this.

Text: "And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into
Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through

Before He entered Galilee, Jesus spent 40 days
in the wilderness being tempted by the devil.
After 40 days of intense pressure, the Bible says
He returned to Galilee in the power of the spirit.
The pressure of temptation resulted in Him being
able to enter Galilee in power. Galilee means
heathen circle. Jesus was now prepared and
anointed to enter a secular, heathen environment
and be ready for any challenge that might be
thrown at Him.
Just as the wilderness prepared Jesus to enter
Galilee with miraculous power, our own
experiences are preparing us to enter our circle
of influence with miraculous power. As
Christians, we must be prepared to enter our
own “Galilee” or “heathen circle.” We need take
the tests and temptations we have overcome
and use them as reference points to deal wisely
and powerfully in whatever non-Christian
environment is before us. Additionally, the
miracles we have experienced during our own
days in the wilderness can minister to others. We
can help them experience the same miracles we
have. Our testimony of victory isn’t just for the
church circle. It is ready to take you into your

The Sovereign LORD says today that My love is endless and My grace is unfathomable in your life. I am not that hard to get along with. I am not an austere God sitting on the throne of heaven hurling lightning bolts of judgment against you. If you are going to truly know who I am then you are going to have to relentlessly jettison from your life the widespread and false understandings of who I am not. I am not the author of confusion. I am not the point of origin for suffering in your life. I am not unkind or unmerciful. I do not hold Myself aloof from your pain or withdraw from you in times of suffering. All of these things have been taught in My name by those who claim to have the authority to impose upon you their understanding of My character. They have Me all wrong.

I am a good God and a loving God. I am patient with you beyond any human metric. I brood over your life constantly to bring forth life and light and blessing. Every breath that you breathe is a direct gift from My hand. I have crafted your destiny and written all your days in My book. I have no plans to hurt or harm you in any way. I love you because I love you. I have provided the grace of Calvary to set you free from every aspect of your character that conflicts with My nature. I have provided you all things that pertain to life and godliness. Be willing to receive the transformation of your character as well as the transformation of your circumstances. Sin is a reality in the human condition and you are not exempt - however I have afforded you forgiveness, repentance and transforming grace to stamp you with My image and remove every vestige of transgression and iniquity from your heart. Trust Me and receive Me on My own terms and know Me as I truly am for I have come through for you and I am moving in your life in a radical way this day.

GOD KNOWS YOUR NAME

Teusday 5th April 2016

Topic: God Knows Your Name

Text: "And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a
man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of
custom… (Matthew 9:9)."

If you read through the different Gospel accounts
of when Jesus called Matthew, His disciple, they
each tell a slightly different but similar story. In
Luke’s account, it records Jesus seeing a
publican named Levi (see Luke 5:27-28).
Publicans were considered sinners, and the name
Levi comes from the Hebrew name for the
Levites, which means to be twined. It speaks of
the intertwining seen between borrowing and
lending and obviously the bondage involved with
the two. Mark’s account of Jesus’
call to Matthew is similar in that he is also
referred to as Levi (see Mark 2:14). Notice how
both Mark and Luke see Matthew as the publican
named Levi, which indicates they saw him as an
insignificant individual.
However, Matthew’s account of himself is much
different. Matthew says Jesus saw a man. He
didn’t see a publican or sinner, He saw a person.
Then he notes that Jesus saw Matthew. The
name Matthew means gift. He didn’t see Levi,
the person intertwined with problems. Jesus saw
a real human being, a gifted individual with great
potential, named Matthew.
That revelation propelled Matthew, this one-time
publican, into Kingdom greatness. Realize that
your name is known in Heaven today and Jesus
sees a special person who is being propelled into
Kingdom greatness!

PRAYER
Lord, I thank You that my name is special in
heaven. You know me by name! Even the angels,
when they hear my name spoken, are working to
help me. Thank You, Lord, for the peace of
knowing that my name is always recognized!

The Sovereign LORD says today take your eyes off of man and keep them on Me. Man will disappoint you. Man will misinform you. Man will fall short of My glory oftentimes says the Father but make it your determination that your confidence and your expectation will be anchored in who I am in your life and not any other resource. Know that I work in the midst of human frailty and human failure. Do not deprecate yourself or despise yourself because you have not achieved or accomplished those things that only I can bring about. I am working and I am determining and you can trust My timing. The timing of heaven will never come up short in your behalf. I will be on time and on target with My blessings in your life as you align yourself with My heart and My purposes and not seeking after the good opinion of those who are not part of what I am doing where you are concerned.

Lift up the hands that hang down. Refuse to be discouraged. Refuse to look to the right hand or to the left. The hand of man cannot save you. The hand of man cannot redeem. Though a tower would be built up to heaven to accomplish some great feat the end result will only be confusion and dispersion and scattering. Stay focused upon what I am doing and saying at all times. Find the secret place where My voice will be heard and not another. Get quiet before Me. I will speak to you most clearly in the silence between your own thoughts. Trust Me and walk in love toward those around you. Let My love flow through you in unconditional measure. Do not parcel out your love only to those who can repay or recompense. Love lavishly. Give generously. Determine in every interaction to be part of the solution and not part of the problem. Go out in your day - every day in this month to be someone's answer to prayer. Come up higher. Come up into the rarified atmosphere of My favor and you will see and know and experience that metric of My goodness that is beyond anything you have ever reckoned in the narrative of your life. 

THE BENEFIT OF CHRIST ASCENSION

Sunday 4th April 2016

Topic: The benefits of Christ Ascension

Text: Hebrews 4:14

"We have a great high priest who has passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God"

After the resurrection of Jesus is the ascension. It marks the occasion when the risen Christ ascended to the father in glory. Though this part of the eternal work of salvation is often neglected and not taken to heart, but its a great factor in the life of Christ and Christians, and no complete view of Jesus Christ is possible unless the ascension and its consequences are included. What does the ascension mean to the believer? (a) Its speaks of an accomplished work of redemption (Hebrew 8:1). (b) It shows the Saviour's high priestly work (Hebrew 4:14) (c) It manifests His Lordship over the Church(Ephesian 1:22) (d) It talks of His intercession for us with His heavenly father( 1Timothy 2:'15). (e) It makes the way for the coming of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost (Act 2:33) (f) And the assurance of the Lord's presence with us today(1Thessalonian 4:6)
Think of it! Jesus did not only die but He rose again from the grave, went back to the father and He is interceding for us right now. And He is coming back again. May the remembrance of just not His resurrection but also His ascension be a time for special rejoicing and Thanksgiving, because the Jesus who died to save us now lives to save us.

PRAYER
Father, i commit my life totally to you, let the benefits of Christ ascension be a reality in my life and family in Jesus name.

THE PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY

THE PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY

The Sovereign LORD says today stand fast. Stand fast in your confidence. No longer flailing away at circumstances that are beyond your control. I did not call you to be in control. I called you to a place of quiet trust in what I promised you in the midst of challenge. You can choose manipulation and fleshly dominion or you can accept the authority I give that only flows through humility and deference to My plan for your life. It is time to stop acting in the power of the flesh and begin walking in the power of My Spirit. The goals and purposes that have so long eluded you will suddenly become real probabilities when you come into that place of new and fresh yieldedness to Me.

I am the God who is able. My ability is an extension of your faith and trust in Me. There is no disability in Me. I am not impotent therefore you are not impotent. I am not powerless or incapable. Draw upon who I am on the inside of you and see the change come that you have cried out for. Refuse to see yourself any other way for you are in Me and I am in you. What you have purposed to do in life cannot be founded upon your small estimation of your limited human strength. Set your sights and your expectations on what only I am capable of bringing about and you will have then some semblance of that wonderful thing that I have in store for you in your future.

Ezekiel 36:29-30

I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.  And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen.

MARKED FOR A PURPOSE

Topic: Marked For  A Purpose

Text: 2 Corinthians 1:21-22(NIV)

"Now it is God who makes both us and you stand
firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of
ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts
as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come "

When Jacob wrestled all night with the angel, his
thigh was thrown out of joint in such a dramatic
way that it permanently marked Jacob’s life (see
Gen. 32:24-32). It caused him to call the place in
which it happened Peniel, which means face of
God. Jacob described it saying, “I have seen God
face to face, and my life is preserved” (Gen.
32:30). He had an encounter with God that
“marked” his thigh, which became the mark of a
divine purpose. That purpose was seen when his
name Jacob (deceiver) was changed to Israel
(God prevails). He went from being a deceiver to
one who represented the prevailing power of God
as the offspring that ultimately became the
nation of Israel.
God has marked you for a purpose today. He so
believes in you that He has placed a seal of
ownership on you to show you His guarantee. It
doesn’t matter what others say you cannot do;
even if they laugh at you now, know that God
sees who you will be. Stand firm in that today!

PRAYER
Lord, I know that I am marked for a purpose in
this life. Through You, I am going to accomplish
great things. You have anointed me, and I ask
that You will help me stand confident in who I am
in You today! Amen.
