PRAY FOR ME

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

I pray that the Lord's message will touch your heart on today and you will began a life of prayer.  I thank God for each of you in the ministry and speak the blessings of peace and favor upon your life.

(Luke 11:5-8) Then he said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend, and he goes to him at midnight and says, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, because a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have nothing to set before him.'  Then the one inside answers, 'Don't bother me. The door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed.  I can't get up and give you anything. I tell you, though he will not get up and give him the bread because he is his friend, yet because of the man's boldness he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

Woman of God, this is Jesus teaching about prayer to the towns people.  The reason why this message is about prayer, is because God wants us to step it up a bit.  As you read this parable, notice that Jesus is saying, when we know that someone is in need, we are to act immediately, no matter what is going on in your house.

I do not wait for people to pray for me because I don't trust that they really will.  A lot of times people know about a situation in someones life that needs prayer and instead of praying with that person we just tend to say, "I pray for you".  How many times do you actually pray for that person?  How many times to you actually keep your promise?  I will give you a little leeway.  You might have good intentions to pray for that person when you get home, but the enemy will make sure that you forget.  You will get so busy that you will forget to pray for your friend or even a stranger that you promised to pray for.  It is better to pray for that person immediately. 

I skim through a lot of messages on Facebook and if someone is in need of prayer, I try to pray for them immediately through a personal message.  The reason why I do this is because I promised you ladies that I would.  You don't even know me, nor I you, but I do know the power of prayer.  I tell you that I pray for you daily, and believe it or not, I really do.  There are a least 200 names in the ministry and a lot of them I don't even know if they are daily reader, but I call out every name daily.

The Lord Jesus Christ prays for each of us daily.  I know that there are more than 200 people that he prays for and intercedes on our behalf.  We are in too much of a hurry these days and sometimes we just need to stop and pray.  Don't tell someone that you will pray for them when you get home, ask them if they have time for prayer immediately.  That is what God is looking for in us.  God is looking for us to have compassion on people, just as He has compassion on us.  If that person does not have time to pray at that moment, then as you walk away, just say a prayer for them.  You never know how much you will be contributing to that persons life.  If you are asking God to help you to get closer to Him, start with prayer for a person in need.  If you are not going to pray for that person, don't tell them that you will.  When you are in need of prayer, would you prefer immediately or on that persons time?  The term, "I'll pray for you", should not be something that you say, it should be something that you do.  LET US PRAY!

Heavenly Father, I thank you for my life.  Thank you Lord Jesus for dying for my sins and the sins of the world. Father God, I am praying for the women in the ministry today, that they desire a closer walk with you through prayer.  Lord, I speak your promises upon their lives as they follow after you.  Lord, I pray that they will begin to pray for people immediately, just as you pray for us.  Lord, I thank you for your divine favor upon their lives, in Jesus name. Amen!

THROWING STONES

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

I pray for you daily.  I pray that you are being blessed by the Lord's messages.  You will always be a work in progress, so don't ever give up on yourself.

John 8:3) And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto him, Master this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.  (John 8:7) So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

You ever felt like people are constantly  throwing stones at you? No matter what you do or say; no matter how good you try to treat other, someone else will definitely throw stones.  The phrase our ancestors us to say is "people who live in glass houses should not throw stones."

Jesus says the same thing, "He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone."  They wanted to stone this woman to death because she committed adultery.  In the Old Testament under Moses' law, the towns people would tie you up and throw stones at you until you were dead.  Remember there is nothing you can do that would have Jesus want to throw stones at you.  In this scripture Jesus is saying that no one not one is without sin. 

Today people are so quick to throw stones at you because it keeps the focus off of their sin.  As soon as you make the decision to get saved and try to start living for Christ that's when the enemy comes.  Your friends will want you to stay the way that they are (lost).  You still want to hang out with them because they are your friends.  But now you don't enjoy the same things because you are trying to live righteous.  They begin to polk fun at you and make it seem like you think you are better than they are.  You don't treat them differently, but they treat you differently.  You no longer want to get high or hang out at bars until closing time.  So now they are talking about you and you don't fit in anymore.

Don't let stones that people throw at you, keep you from studying and Word of God and wanting to do what is right in the eyes of the Lord.  What happens is that your friends that are not saved see their sins more clearly.  You don't mention their sins, but because you are saved, their conscience is convicting them through you.  They don't want to hang out with someone that makes them feel like they are sinning.  LET US PRAY!

Heavenly Father, I thank you for my life today.  Lord, I pray that you have mercy upon me and that I have your favor upon my life.  Thank you Lord Jesus for saving me from a life of sin.  I thank you that you don't throw stones at me when I mess up.  Lord, I want to have a closer walk with you, please remove any hinderances from my life that keeps me from doing what is right, in Jesus name, Amen.

PEACE BE STILL

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

I thank God for each of you daily and "Spiritual Growth for Women Ministry".  I pray for you and that you are blessed daily of the Lord.

(Matthew 7:24-27) Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.  And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man.  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Jesus is giving the people a parable here concerning their house.  He is not speaking about a building, he is speaking about their body.  God is saying to you that if you built yourself up in Him, when the winds blow and a flood comes in your life; you will be able to stand.  A rock is solid, and sand can be blown all over the place.  This is the difference between living a life with Jesus Christ or living a life without Christ.

If you are the type of person that does not give yourself time to read the Word of God or have daily prayer; most likely you are sand.  The enemy knows that you are sand and therefore, he finds it much easier to bring turmoil in your life.  As soon as something bad happens in your life, you fall down.  You end up making decisions that are not going to get you out of your storm.  You call all your girlfriends, instead of calling on the Lord.  Your foundation is not strong and you have a sand mentality.

If you are the type of person that reads the Word of God and pray on a daily basis, you have developed a rock mentality.  When the enemy comes to place turmoil in your life, you are not going to fall.  You know the blessings and promises that God has for you and you don't have time to waste by living a life without Christ.  When you are faced with difficult situations you know that God has already handled it for you.  You don't have to wonder or worry about it, you stand on God's Word.
When the flood comes and wind blows your will not fall because your foundation is a rock. 

Woman of God, in order to make it through this journey called life; you have to have a strong and solid foundation.  The foundation has to be what is on the inside of you.  It has to be the very essence of who you are in Christ.  You have to know that Christ sits on the right hand of God interceding on your behalf.  You cannot afford to be blown all over the place.   Your children count on you to guide them through life and if you are blown all over the place; you will not be able to give your children a solid foundation.   LET US PRAY!

Father God, I thank and praise you for your mercy and grace upon my life.  Lord, I pray for a closer relationship with you.  I pray that I am building myself on solid foundation.  Lord, I pray for your wisdom and understanding concerning your Word.  Lord, I thank you for making interceding on my behalf, in Jesus name, Amen.

MOVE, WOMAN OF GOD

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

We have a lot to cover today but I promise when you are done with the Lord's message you will be blessed.

(Matthew 11:22-25)  And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.  For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thous cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.  Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, then ye pray believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.  And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

I am going to reword the above scripture, the way that God gave it to me, to give to you today. I am only going to pull out certain words in the scripture. Watch this!

Have faith in God, say unto this mountain, be thou removed, have no doubt in your heart, believe, things shall come to pass, whatsoever things ye desire, pray, believe, ye will receive them, ye will have them, stand praying.

God has given you whatever you have asked of Him in faith.  You cannot have any doubt that the mountain in your life will be removed.  Anything that you have asked of God, if you believe, it will come to pass because you desired it, you will have it and above all, you are to stand praying. 

God gave you His word and you have to stand on the word of God.  The Lord is speaking to someone today prophetically.  He has already answered and fulfilled your prayer.  But your mountain is still standing in your way because you don't believe that it is cast away in the sea.  Your mountain is keeping you from receiving the Lord's promise for your life.  You have to move forward to receive what God has for you. 

Woman of God, I keep hearing the Spirit of God saying, "move, your promise is there, your promise is right in front of you, move.  Your promise is right in front of you, woman of God.  I am going to help you move, you need to move.  Someone that is reading this message, God has spoken to you and you know it.  He has told you to move and you have not done what He has told you to do because of the doubt in your mind.  God has told you to move in a certain direction in your life.  You have to change some things and take a different path, the one path you are on is wrong.  You are facing a big problem right now and it has gotten bigger than last year.  If you don't move it will be bigger next year.  Please move, that is what I keep hearing.  Move and the promise is there.  I hear God being more specific now, whoever you are, you have been crying for the past week.  You are wondering why God has not helped you, but He has told you what to do.  You have even been crying in prayer, you don't want to get rid of something bad to pick up God's goodness.

Father God, I thank you for your grace upon my life today.  Lord thank you for your message for the women on today.  Father God I am praying to touch and agree with whoever you are speaking to today.  Lord I pray that your promise on her life will come to pass.  Lord I am believing that by faith is has already been done.  Lord I speak your peace of mind upon her life, that she will move in the direction that you have told her to go.  Lord, I come against the enemy that is continuously speaking in her ear, I speak holiness upon her.  I pray that she will move forward in your word and move toward your will for her life, in Jesus name, Amen.

SEAL OF APPROVAL

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

(Daniel 6:8-9) Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not. Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.

(John 6:27-29) Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which for him hath God the Father sealed.  Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them; This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

In the Old Testament, when a king would set a law, he would put it in writing and decree the law.  If he wanted to send a message out of his city to another king, he would then put his seal upon it.  Each king had their own seal of approval.  Once the king decreed a law or sent a message with his seal, it could not be changed, not even by him.  Every king had their own signature ring or seal.  No one in the entire kingdom had this seal, so it could not be duplicated by anyone.

In the New Testament, there is but one king.  The King of Kings (Jesus Christ).  God the Father sealed His only begotten Son.  The seal that God the Father placed upon Christ, cannot be altered in any way.  No one has the same seal, nor can Christ be duplicated.  God the Father had decreed that once His Son, Jesus Christ has died, risen and ascended unto heaven; there is a new seal.  The seal was not undone, it became new through the blood of Jesus.  Once Jesus Christ shed His blood for the believers, we were sealed by the blood of Christ.  The blood of Christ cannot be duplicated.  He is the King of Kings and that which He has decreed will come to pass.

This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.  We as believers have only but one things to do to receive the seal of the King of Kings; believe on him whom God hath sent.  LET US PRAY!

Heavenly Father, I thank and praise you on today.  Thank you for Your Son, King of Kings for the seal of approval.  The blood that was shed to seal my name in the book of life.  You are an awesome God and I pray for your grace and mercy on me.  Lord, give me the strength I need to overcome the pitfalls that will keep me from doing your will for my life.  Lord, I pray that you are glorified in my everyday life, in Jesus name, Amen.

THE BRUTAL TEACHER

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

I thank God for each of you and pray for you daily.  I pray that you have been blessed by the daily devotions and you are truly growing in the Lord.

I have had some grade school teachers that I though were just brutal.  They gave homework on Fridays and test on Tuesdays, now who does that?  No, I am not going to talk about school teachers today.

In my opinion, the most brutal teacher that you will ever run into, is "experience".  Experience can be a brutal teacher if you don't learn a lesson.  If you think back over your life, I can assure you that life has taught you a lot about that teacher.  Once you began to go through that journey called life "experience" will ultimately be your best teacher.   If you don't learn by experience you will not learn your lesson.

Experience taught me that not everyone in the church that says, "hallelujah" will treat you like a Christian.  Experience has taught me that not everyone you come in contact with can be called your friend, they are acquaintances. I have been taught that doing recreational drugs can quickly become a habit and will start a downward spiral in your life.  I quickly learned that every man that says "I love you", really means "until we finish".  I had to learn that "I do", only meant "for now".  I quickly learned that just because we have a child together, didn't mean we were a family.  I was pushed into learning that forgiveness can sometimes only go one way.  An abortion does not make you feel better, it will just make you think of the possibility that is no longer there for the world.

I learned that God loves me no matter what I've done.  I have experienced the move of the Holy Spirit in my life.  I learned that prayer does change a lot of things.  I learned that if I just seek and His righteousness first, all things will be added to me.  I have experienced God changing my childrens circumstances around for His glory.  I have first hand experience that if I trust God with all my heart then He will move mountains on my behalf.  I have learned how to trust God in the midst of a storm in my life.  I know what it's like to experience speaking in an unknown tongues.

Here's the message: Look in the mirror and call yourself a teacher.  What qualifies you to tell your children about life? EXPERIENCE!  What qualifies you to minister to someone on the street? EXPERIENCE!

MIDST OF CHAOS

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

I thank the Lord for each of you daily, and "Spiritual Growth for Women Ministry".  I speak blessings of joy and love into your lives and that the Lord God Almighty will meet your needs and wants on today.

Woman of God, chaos does not mean that God is mad at you or that you have done something wrong.  This world is full of chaos because it belongs to Satan.  Chaos keep you where God can work with you.  It builds your faith and confidence in God.  Without chaos in your life we would never go to God in prayer.  It's in the middle of chaos, when God does His best work on you.  He works on your character, your finances, marriage and children.  It's in the midst of chaos when we fall down on our knees and cry out in spiritual warfare.  It's in the midst of chaos when your spirit can get in sync with God.

In the midst of chaos, the disciples had to believe that Jesus was the Son of God.  Joseph was in the midst of chaos when he was sold into slavery by his brothers; but God used him to become a great chief.  Joseph later saved the town from a great famine in the land.  In the midst of chaos is when the woman with the issue of blood just touched the hem of Jesus' garment and was immediately healed.  In the midst of chaos is when Jesus Christ died and rose again for your sins.

God is using your chaos to be a blessing to someone else.  Because when you come out of your storm you will be a victorious woman.  You can reach down and pull someone else out of chaos.  The next times that you feel like you are in the midst of chaos, thank and praise God, because He knows your situation and He will bring you out.  God knows that you can handle your chaos.  He knows that you will praise Him in the midst of all your chaos.  Be still and know that He is GOD!

(Matthew 14:27-29)  But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.  And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.  And he said, Come. and when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on water, to go to Jesus.

Two sentences I want you to focus on in those scriptures: Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. Come.  LET US PRAY!

Heavenly Father, I thank and praise You for Your grace and mercy upon me.  Lord, help me to remember that you are in the midst of my chaos.  Lord, while I am waiting on you, I will be of good cheer and not be afraid, in Jesus name, Amen!
