Our Book: Pray It By Ear
LOL: Not a Creature Was... Really?
Oh, it's on...
A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps, Proverbs 16:9.
12-pounds! I was in shock when the airport porter told me I had to remove that much weight from my luggage. It just didn't make sense. I was trying to get on a return flight home and was outside at the terminal trying to check my bags. How could he make me take out so much? On my outbound flight, the agent let me get by with 54-lbs. for both my bags. To make matters worse, we'd done a little shopping and I was already carrying about 10-lbs. from my computer, tablet, phone and other gadgets. 12-pounds. I knelt down and prayed and said to myself, "Yes, Lord. I will obey." However, I didn't understand why this particular agent was so harsh.
As I got one bag down to 52-lbs., he said, "Take one more pound out." I didn't say a word as I realized the heavy weight I would have to carry through the airport which was now about 25-lbs. It wouldn't have been a problem if I hadn't pulled my shoulder and my knees from playing so much basketball. And, then there were all the workouts I enjoyed at the gym. Yeah, that, too. "So," I thought to myself, "the devil knows I had a great vacation and I was praying for people, so now he's trying to get back at me." I prayed as I carried my heavy load past the porter who whispered, "We take tips, you know." I didn't even turn around.
"Weight" on God...
Inside the terminal, I met my mom's flight and it was a struggle just to get to her gate. Maybe I had more than 25-lbs because I kept having to shift hands and I could feel myself going slower and slower. I was praying my back didn't start hurting or my knees again. I sat and waited for my mom's flight and tried not to let the distraction get to me. Satan was busy. When my mom arrived and I explained what happened, I only had about 20-minutes to get to my flight. I heard the Holy Spirit say, "Stay with her," and then I realized why. She said, "No, we're not going to have you carry all that through the terminal." We learned that my gate was about 11-minutes away and with the heavy load I had, it might have felt longer. My mom asked the agents at the gate about wheelchair transportation to get me to my gate. As she explained about the bag and my aching knees, crowds of people stood by watching. My mom said, "Ignore them. You're not carrying all that and making your knee pain worse." However, one of the reps at the gate said in a snide remark to another, "It's not a valet service."
The Terminal "Tour"...
I sat in the nearest wheelchair per their instructions. A minute later, a cheery man came over to take me to my gate. I was so embarrassed - not because I needed the chair but I didn't want to take from someone that might need it because I had this heavy load. I could have walked the distance if my flight was later. The man told me don't worry about it as I said goodbye to my mom, he whispered, "We are a valet service. We're here to help people that need it." I explained that a few days ago I had exacerbated my knee pain so much I could barely bend down but he said, "Don't worry," as he pushed me along.
A few seconds later as we approached another section of the lengthy terminal, the porter said, "And, this is the reindeer. The tree's not up yet." I had to laugh because it was like the porter was taking me on a personal tour. I settled into the seat and listened as he stopped briefly, "And, this is where a lot of people go to eat." Then it was off to another location.
At one point the porter stopped and said to someone, "Hey man. Keep your head up," and then we started moving again. As we made our way down another section of the terminal which was a lot longer than I could have imagined, the porter said when he wasn't within earshot of the man we passed, "Yeah, he needs a lot of help." I asked, "What's wrong?" The porter explained the man's wife was extremely sick and he was working two jobs full-time and only making $9 per hour. It hit me like a wall. I wasn't in this chair because of my knee or the heavy weight. I was in this chair for a reason. God was letting me see who needed prayer here! But, let's back up for a minute because this is important.
Standing in the Need of Prayer...
During our trip, my mom and I had prayed for our taxi drivers. We prayed for all the hotel and housekeeping staff. We prayed for people in the stores and those the Holy Spirit had singled out. So, this wheelchair ride wasn't a coincidence. I was getting it now. God wasn't done. What the devil meant for harm (trying to weigh me down to exacerbate an injury), God was working out in our favor (using me to pray for others). This man was taking me around and pointing out who needed prayer! Sure enough, when the next man walked by that the porter knew, the Holy Spirit said, "Pray for him." I obeyed and prayed for the young man and we also prayed for the man with the two jobs and the sick wife. I was seeing how God made an inconvenient situation a way to get blessings and prayer to those that needed it most! And, maybe that inconvenience is what Mary and Joseph thought about in Bethlehem.
We Have No Vacancies: Understanding The Inconvenience of God
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men, Luke 2:11-14
One of the hardest things to imagine that the King of Kings didn't come into the world like everyone else. Jesus, even in His infancy, was inconvenienced. You see, our Lord and Savior wanted to go through experiences as we did. He needed to understand our suffering. He had to be rejected, lied about and spat upon. He suffered these abuses so He could identify with our hurts and pains. He needed to experience what we endure so He could deliver us from everything we go through. Jesus also endured suffering and hardship so you and I could have life through Him. Hence, Jesus was born in a manger. This wasn't a coincidence but preordained because Jesus came into the world and lived humbly. He didn't need a fancy hotel, had no need for the room upgrades and ocean view and wasn't concerned about the free, warm cookies at check-in. He was about His Father's business.
There are other inconveniences that occurred in the Bible, too.
Here are a few examples:
In all these examples we see how God worked it out. Won't He do it? But, why does God make things inconvenient? Or, why does He allow inconveniences when He can just tell us what to do or who to speak to?
Free Will, God's Will and God Who Makes the Way
You see, God does things differently than us and He makes a way out of no way. Look at the Baby Jesus. King Herod sought to kill Jesus but God had already made room for Him elsewhere. God has hidden paths for us so we can accomplish His will. God will also reroute you or takes you out of the way to achieve what He wants. When this happens, know that God has a plan - and, He's already made the way! It might be a particular mission He wants you on or certain testing He has in mind. Now, let's look at Jonah who was inconvenienced in the belly of the whale because he chose his will over God's.
Jonah learned in his 3-day tomb that he HAD to witness to the people of Nineveh because God wanted to give them time to repent. We serve a loving God who WANTS to give people time. He knows the world is full of stubborn pride but God is so loving that He gives us time to change our hearts, repent and turn to Him (Read the message below God has for us and you can hear His love for us as He asks us to repent and don't look back). God sometimes inconveniences us so we can reach people in need. And, that's what happened to me with my computer.
Why Is This Happening To Me? When God Reroutes You...
On our trip, my computer died which wasn't a surprise to me. Sometimes when God gives me the BIGGEST ministry message to share, my computer or tablet acts up and I know it's satan playing games. So, I rebuke Him and call on the angels. But, this time, it was different. My computer died and I was using my mother's computer which SUDDENLY wouldn't work online. We were traveling and I was trying to work on our holiday ads. It was a BIG inconvenience but James 1:3 teaches us that, "The testing of your faith produces perseverance." This means that I KNEW I would get through eventually because God's word never leaves void. I just had to find a way. So, my mom and I went to the IT professional who handled the internet access for help. But, little did I know, I wasn't the one in need. God had a plan and was sending me to someone desperate for a miracle.
Waiting On An Answer...
At the IT desk, I met a young woman with a heavy Jamaican accent so I wasn't sure if there would be a language barrier when I started describing my computer problem. The woman explained that her manager was away while I explained that I needed internet access to work on our ads ASAP. We went back and forth a few times with her saying there was nothing she could do. I was growing frustrated but remembering that I still needed to keep my peace so I could hear from God, I told my mom, "Let's leave and come back when the manager is here." As we turned to walk away, my mom was a good distance ahead of me and I was walking much further behind her when I heard God say, "Tell her it's going to be okay." I wasn't sure who this was for, my mom or the lady? I had to confirm it and obey so I yelled up to my mom that we had to go back.
Returning to the IT desk, I said to the young woman who looked at me quizzically, "The Holy Spirit said to tell you, "It's going to be okay." Her eyes filled up with tears. as she said, "No, you don't understand" through her thick accent. When I saw the shift in her eyes and the sudden change in her expression, I realized the message was for her. I said it again, "The Holy Spirit said, 'It's going to be okay.'" The young woman blurted out quickly that her son was very sick and her other child was having emotional problems. As her eyes filled with more tears and I took her hands, my mom walked up but didn't know what was going on. I said, "Mommie, we have to pray. This isn't about the computer. This woman desperately needs prayer. She needs a miracle and she's waiting on God."
I explained to my mom what the woman told me and we started to pray for her son to receive a new kidney and for her daughter to be healed emotionally. After tears and rejoicing, because we know God ALWAYS makes the way, my mom and I turned to leave and by the time I got back to the room and got online again, the computer worked fine and never messed up again. God inconvenienced me and rerouted me to reach someone in need. And, yes, He will work like that and inconvenience us so that we're available for Him and always about our Father's business!
What are the Inconveniences of God?
Something I learned early in my Christian walk was that sometimes when God wants to use you, He might send you to someone when you least expect it or when you're in a hurry and busy doing something else. I've seen this happen so many times it's become a familiar pattern. For example, I might be leaving a store and the Holy Spirit will say, "Go back and pray for the cashier." Or, He might wait until I say goodbye to someone and they're walking away and then say, "Tell her God will handle it." But, the inconveniences of God aren't always about getting a word to someone else. Sometimes God uses an inconvenience as an opportunity to bless you.
Once at a hotel, construction noise started at 5 am and when we complained to the manager, they comped us $200 in food. However, we had a kitchen fully stocked with food as the hotel suite included a full kitchen and we'd gone to the store already. We ended up sharing the blessing with a family in need. Another time, we were inconvenienced when a hotel room had loud noises coming from construction and we were moved to a much larger room - what a blessing from Father God! God gives free upgrades, too!
What To Do If You're Inconvenienced or Rerouted
Father God might inconvenience or reroute us for different reasons. He might use us to bless someone else, pray for them or get a word to them. Or, the inconvenience might be to get a blessing to us, a word or message from God.
Here are a few points to keep in mind:
If you're inconvenienced, stopped/stalled or can't get THROUGH
This could be anything like losing internet access, a stalled line at the airport or being stuck in traffic. If this happens, ask God if you're stalled or stopped for a reason:
If God reroutes you or makes you go BACK
Sometimes God will send you back to someone because the Holy Spirit does that from time to time. Pay careful attention to this and obey God.
He might:
If you're in a situation that might look humiliating, it might be God HUMBLING you so He can use you
Remember how I described myself riding through the airport in the wheelchair? With a super heavy load, I couldn't walk the 11-minutes to get to the gate fast enough. It just wasn't possible. I was so embarrassed because I had to ask the porter for his help to get me there. But that was part of God's plan so I could HEAR from the porter who on his route was in need of prayer.
In this case, God might:
Final Thoughts
Ultimately, know that what looks like an inconvenience is sometimes God rerouting us to accomplish His will. He might reroute you to get a blessing to you or to have you help someone else. Be patient and stay humble so you can hear from God or see what He's trying to show you.
Jesus was inconvenienced his entire life. He was born in a manger and wouldn't let people make Him a king. He even rode on a donkey because his life was about humility before God. And, importantly, we have to follow His example. Jesus was determined to focus on His mission, i.e., God's plan and to not be deterred from that. Let us pray that we can always focus on God's will and keep an ear open to hear from God so He can use us when and where he wants. He's looking for His people to be attentive to Him. That means, always make room for God, expect inconveniences and when they occur, ask God if He's doing it for a particular reason and to show you or speak to you. And, He will reveal His will. You can also ask God for signs and He will help you. He's a faithful and loving God and He has great things in store for His people!
P.S. A Mighty Testimony: When God Makes It Convenient
We never use a P.S. in our monthly newspapers or newsletters but I wanted to share something miraculous about that particular airport experience from the opening section.
My mom who had to travel through the same airport to reach her connecting flight said to me, "Thanks for sending the attendant." I said "I'm sorry? I don't know what you're talking about." When we booked her flights, I knew she had only a short time to get to her connecting flight and due to a booking error, I couldn't change her ticket (remember, no coincidences with God). I had prayed and asked the angels to make the way. So, my mom says, "You sent the porter, remember?" I shook my head no and said, "I didn't send anyone. I don't know what you're talking about."
My mom went on to say that as soon as her plane landed, she got up to leave with her carry-on bag and a man was waiting right outside the door. He said, "Your daughter sent me because you have to make your connecting flight. Have a seat. I'm going to take you there," as he pointed to the wheelchair he had for her. He whisked her through the long complex series of terminals and she caught her flight on time. I shook my head and said, "Mom, honestly, I never sent anyone to get you." We realized that we did - when we prayed and asked God to help her make the connection. He dispatched angels and we didn't even realize it. Look at God making things convenient! Glory to Your name, Lord!
It's an Emergency...
That's what I heard the Holy Spirit say for December. On one hand we have people shopping for the holidays. On the other, there are people in hospitals battling covid. On one hand, we're putting up Christmas trees and decorative lights. On the other, businesses are closing and people are waiting in long lines for food. Yes, it's an emergency. And, we have a Savior who is coming to our rescue.
You Must Have Faith Even When Your GPS is Wrong... YOU"RE CLOSER THAN YOU THINK
The devil likes to put on a good "show". He'll make it look he's winning. He'll try to convince people that his is the best way and he'll whisper like the snake that he is that we should just give up and die. The devil is a liar. And, God is in control. But, to see what's really going on, you need to have faith and trust God, not your GPS.
A while back, I was trying to get directions to a store. When I put the address in Google Maps, it indicated that the store was 2.5 hours away. I called to find out if there was a closer location. I was frustrated because all I wanted to do was get a bunch of errands completed in one-shot.
When I reached a rep at the store, a sweet lady named Cecilia answered. She laughed when I asked if there was a closer location than the 2.5 hour drive. She said, "Oh no, dear. We're only 5-minutes away!" I said, "No, Google Maps shows that you are near the beach." She laughed again and said, "No, we're only 5-minutes away." She then explained why she was laughing.
Cecilia explained that once when she was on vacation with her daughter, she used the car's GPS system. The GPS suddenly said, "You have arrived." She looked in front of her and all she saw was what looked like a jungle. She turned to her daughter laughing and said, "Oh no, we haven't arrived!".
Stay the Course and Faint Not IN DUE SEASON - IT'S THAT SEASON...
God's people are tired and as prophets, we can feel it in our spirits. It's like a heaviness or a lack of energy to press on, but, keep pressing on and don't give up or look back. We're almost there. God's people have been praying, fasting, and staying committed to Father God. When my mom and I were praying about this, she said she saw "blessings coming for God's people and prosperity. We're in the season. They were obedient, tithed, and prayed."
When we initially posted this, the Holy Spirit had us make December's message "The Miracle is Coming." On social media, Pastor Joel Osteen shared this inspiring message at the time:
"Things may not change overnight, but if you’ll stay in faith, there will come a time when God will say, “Enough is enough. ” He’s going to turn things around and not just bring you out; He’s going to give you what you are owed. He’s going to pay you back for the injustice at work. He’s going to pay you back for the unfair childhood. He’s going to pay you back for the promotion that should have been yours. He’s going to pay you back for those people that tried to tarnish your reputation.
Because you honor God, because you’re keeping Him first place, you have an advantage. You‘re on His payroll. He knows what you’re owed. He’s promised to make it up to you. Quit worrying. Quit thinking you’re falling behind, thinking that those people at work have left you out, they made you look bad, and now you’ll never get to where you want to be. Payback is coming. Keep doing the right thing when the wrong thing is happening. You’re not working unto people; you’re working unto God."
Everything is in the Details
Holiday shopping this year has changed. If you see TV ads, most are for personal smart devices. The commercials have even shifted. Commercials are now suggesting you can ask smart devices anything. Ask about the weather. Ask how to bake bread. Ask for advice. And these listening devices are programmed to give funny responses, too.
The commercials are also encouraging parents to let kids learn with these devices. So instead of children learning from parents, they now have a "smart" device that can teach them. But, is that smart?
A few parents are starting to notice their children are developing rude behaviors. They're yelling more, being disrespectful, and they're cutting people off mid-conversation. Why? Because their smart devices don't teach children about proper etiquette.
The Devil in the Details - Turning the TV Off
Then there's TV. New holiday ads are for smart TVs with content that's so blasphemous, I rarely turn the TV on. I'll stream content from a few years ago because I know it's not graphic, sexual, or filled with perversions. I've never seen more ads for new movies that show actors depicted in disgusting ways. I couldn't even get past one trailer and the trailers don't show the graphic violence and vulgarity in the movies.
Don't Turn to Painkillers
Another concern is painkillers. The Holy Spirit said to mention this because there are people that are self-medicating. They are using prescription medications to numb their pain or other "medications" hoping to feel better. But, Jesus doesn't want you worrying about ANYTHING. He said, "Cast your cares on me and I will sustain you." If anything, God wants us to pray and ask for renewing of the mind. That's why the Holy Spirit said in His first letter below to "Guard your head".
You see, the devil wants you to think this chaos will continue and that you're losing your mind. That's an attack of the devil. You're not losing your mind. Your spirit is rising up inside and it's breaking from the flesh. It can feel like you're detaching because you are. You're using the Word of God over your own flesh. So, please stay encouraged. You don't need to turn to pills. Just ask Jesus to please renew your mind and bring peace to you. He will. God is so loving. He wants us to feel whole and know that He is with us.
What's Hidden in the Dark will be Brought to Light
The reason I'm mentioning smart devices, pain meds, movies, and TV is the Holy Spirit stated in our December message (Part 1) that the mark of the beast is here. And, it's in the details. The devil wants people tied down to devices and false idols so they'll think they don't need God - because they think smart devices know what they want. But, that's false. It's demonic and it's witchcraft meant to separate you from God.
Literally, everything that's shown on TV and in movies now has a seed of some kind that's demonic. Smart devices for the home are listening devices meant to track your shopping patterns to help businesses make money. They're miniature idols that you can "go to for help". But, isn't that why we have Jesus and the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete?
Is Your Smart Device a Smart Idea - Or a Diversion to Separate You from Jesus and the Holy Spirit?
Another concern is the number of devices that separate us from going to Father God.
Picture a person with a smart home. They wake up with smart devices. They might have coffee brewing from a smart coffee pot. They can now check what groceries need to be ordered from smart refrigerators. They then use smartphones, tablets or laptops with tracking devices. These are designed to "push" suggestions at the person:
The person drives in a smart vehicle and heads to/from work. Upon returning home, they ask their smart TV for suggestions. And, the ads they see are based on their shopping habits because all this data is collected. It's called Big Data. It builds a profile to track whereabouts, predict shopping patterns, and offer suggestive thoughts.
But where is Jesus and the Paraclete?
Come unto me - The Role of the Paraclete (Holy Spirit)
God clearly states we are to have no idols before Him. He's a jealous God and wants us to come to Him. That's why Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit. I used to think that the Holy Spirit wasn't given until the Upper Room experience, but then I came across this scripture which is right after the resurrection of Jesus:
John 20:19-22 reads, "Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you, And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost."
The Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit is our guide. Jesus confirms this in John 16:13, "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come."
As I wrote this, the Holy Spirit said, "Tell them they're not ready." This isn't for everyone because there are some people that are deeply religious. They fast and pray daily and speak in tongues.
This is for 4 kinds of people:
The Status Symbols: These are people that might have fallen by the wayside because they're preoccupied with smartphones, selfies, and status. They're self-absorbed and self-identifying. It's not their fault, per se. Society has been teaching people how to build up "self" online. Social media is famous for this. People can create a new persona. They show image after image of statuses of success, but inside they are broken, hurting, and afraid. And, in order to draw closer to God, they have to let go of the idols.
Those That Lack the Information: It's also for people that haven't drawn closer to God to let the Holy Spirit work in their lives. It might be that they are at a church that doesn't teach about tongues and the gifts of the Spirit.
Those That Ride the Fence: That warning can also be for people that have the gifts but aren't using them yet. They might hear God calling them but they are uncertain. They might also feel intimidated. They think because of their past, God can't use them. They're afraid to release control to Him. Then there's the last group.
The Rebellious: These are people that know God's Word. They know what the Bible says and they refuse to submit to God. They want to do it on their timetable. They want their way and they want to be in control. Because God works by faith, this group is hard to reach because while they want to be "game changers" they think God is playing games with them. The devil has convinced them that on their own, they can "get more accomplished." And remember how we mentioned the painkillers and breaking from the flesh? This group doesn't want to go through the breaking process. They don't understand submission or being subservient to Christ. Or, they refuse to submit beyond what they can control. Their ego and false pride keep them away from God. They want "self" control instead of giving God control.
There will be some in this season that suffer major heart attacks and strokes. It's because they're not being subservient to God. While serving God is about free will, once we're under God, we must obey Him. If we don't stay on our knees in humble pride, God can bring us to our knees for a season to remind us that it's His way. Bishop TD Jakes mentioned this when he talked once about the stone becoming bread. People want to use the Holy Spirit and the gifts of Jesus to promote their own agendas. That's false pride and witchcraft if it goes contrary to Christ. Be careful with this. Obedience is better than sacrifice. And, you can't serve God and man (self).
The Devil Wants You to Use Your Flesh in your Situation (Because Then God Can't Touch your Situation, and the Devil Knows That).
Another concern is the tricks the devil is using in this season. I saw testing in three parts, but your testing might be different:
The reason you have to be on guard with these tests is the devil wants you to react with your flesh. Don't. You have to wait for God. If you put your hands on it or say the wrong thing, then it's your flesh that's working. Wait for God to move. This is a very specific test because the devil knows it requires you to come down from the Spirit realm into the flesh. That's why he's trying to get a reaction from you.
There was a story a few months ago. I think 2 or 3 older teens or young adults were arrested. They went after a person who they thought had harassed their grandmother. In this season, you have to let God handle it. Let God speak and tell you what to do FIRST. He who vindicates us is near.
Focus on God and Jesus...
I've been so excited to write this part because there's so much that God has for you. So many good blessings are coming to God's people. And, the Holy Spirit confirmed it in the 2 messages He gave for December. The Holy Spirit said "they will say it's not fair." Your enemies will see you blessed and there's nothing they can do about it. But, don't gloat or get filled with false pride when the blessings come. Here's the key. In between receiving the blessings and getting past this testing, you have to keep your eyes focused only on Jesus and the Paraclete (Holy Spirit) will lead and guide you.
Do you remember the story about Peter walking on water to Jesus? As long as he focused on the Lord, he moved forward on the water. But, when doubts got into his head, he looked down (away from Jesus) and started to sink into the water. Keep your focus on Jesus for the rest of the year. Don't look to the left or right. Don't think about what the enemy said or what might happen. It's like making a cake. You have to clear the counter off and focus on the recipe. Or, another example is a football player. In order to throw to his wide receiver, he has to tune out the other team, the yelling crowds, and the cheerleaders and crowds booing on the opposing team. That can be kind of hard especially if they're all booing and chanting, "Hey, hey! Go home! We've already won. Get on the bus. You've got to go!" etc.To help you, keep these points in mind:
Read your Bible, stay encouraged, and put all the devices down especially now through the end of the year. Prepare yourself to draw closer to God and Jesus through praise and worship. And, cheer up. The Holy Spirit said we will be "overwhelmed with joy for what God's about to do".
We're about to announce a revival but first must come repentance. The "Revival" link on our site won't be up for a few days while we finish final edits. In the interim, please read the 2 letters from the Holy Spirit as the second one is about repentance. And, watch God show up and move on your behalf. We have followed what God has said to the letter.
Please continue to fast and pray and speak in tongues and stay in God's shadow. Watch and see what God's about to do. Ask Him for signs. He will confirm it. You don't have to believe me or follow our ministry. It's not about us. But, you should obey God ESPECIALLY in this season. The devil can't touch God's chosen and anointed people. But, we MUST repent now, i.e., today and don't wait for signs. He already said when the sign comes it will "be too late to change your mind." If you have any questions, pray and ask God and He will guide you. To God be the glory!
Our December Prayer
Father God in Jesus' Name, Lord, we come to you. We give you all the glory, honor and praise. We thank You that when it looks inconvenient, You, Lord God, show up and make the way. Thank You for every lesson learned and every time you've rerouted us and kept us out of harm's way. Thank You that you have always provided for us and open doors and make the way for us. Thank You that we have a loving Father God and You Change not. Thank You for speaking to us and guiding us. Even in the worst storms of our lives, Lord, You are there on the water with us and in the boat reminding us to rest in You. Thank You for speaking to us and answering our prayers. Thank You for defeating the enemy and fighting our battles. Thank You for showing Your strength and that we need only be still and call on You and stand firm. Father God, You know every plan in advance and we ask for Your help and guidance. Lord, there are so many that feel like they are hanging on by a thread financially. There are so many desperate for change and in need of help. We call on You to make the way. The enemy wants to play games and tease us or display fake wealth but we know that's false. True riches are found in having Jesus Christ. We ask for special help, Lord for those who are having a hard time providing for their families. Lord, please provide EVERY need. There are many who only have crumbs tonight and don't know where tomorrow's food is coming from. Please provide and make the way. Please open the supply house and pour out blessings on Your sons and daughters. You supply ALL our needs and we call on You, Lord. Please help us to be an answer to each and everyone that has a need. Help us to hear clearly from You and be ready and on assignment to go where you send us and to do Your will. We know You are preparing a table for us in the presence of our enemies. We pray for our enemies, Lord. We pray they change their minds and find You while there's time. We pray they see our example and look to have a relationship with Christ. We ask forgiveness of all sins that our prayers are heard before You. Forgive us for lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and the pride of life. Forgive us for putting false idols above You. Forgive us for selfish pride and not seeking You first. Thank You, Lord that you always make the way. We repent of our sins and turn our back on sin. We want to follow You, Jesus. We pray for President Trump and all the government officials that they get on one accord with You and Jesus FIRST. We pray for Philadelphia that ALL CORRUPTION IS EXPOSED and THY WILL BE DONE, LORD. We pray for our military, police officers, fire and rescue services. We pray for these brave men and women who are facing dangers every day. Please cover and keep each and everyone safe, Lord. We pray for all delivery personnel. Cover and keep them safe while they deliver their packages and make their deliveries. Keep them out of harm's way. We pray for the delivery workers scrambling to complete their orders. Please make the way for them and their families and keep them safe. We pray for those that have to work out in the cold. We pray for peace in Mexico, Haiti and Venezuela. We pray for Somalia and Syria. Lord, there are so many people all over the world that have special needs. Please be with each and everyone. Please deliver us from all sickness, disease and death. Please find cures for covid, Aids, cancers, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. So many suffer silently and are stripped of their livelihood. Please make the way. So many are forced to chose - Pay the bills or provide food for my kids. But, we know You are a loving God and You will send help and make the way because Jesus said all we have to do is believe. Please let there be more random kindness from strangers. Please let more celebrities, business moguls, musicians and sports stars give back to the homeless and also give a hand up to the less fortunate. You said promotion is coming and we wait expectantly on You. Thank you for this holiday season and for sending Your son, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus for Your life and all the sacrifices You made for us so we can call on You in our times of need. We love You, Lord and we give all the glory, honor and praise to You in Jesus's name, Amen.
We know nothing is impossible through You!

But, bow your knees and keep coming to me.
Father God also said, "Tell them they don't have to be afraid. God is rebuking all of your enemies." He also said after we posted this, "Tell them, Don't turn your backs on me. They will regret it if they turn their backs on me. Tell them not to be afraid. Keep speaking to me. With God it's more than enough." He then said, "Tell them don't worry. It's going to be fine."
