Why Is It So Crucial That We Pray, Your Will Be Done?

Matthew 6:9-18; James 4:14-16;2 Chronicles 7:14; Proverbs 14:12; Isaiah 40:27; Psalm 34:19; Romans 12:2; Mark 4:9; Proverbs 3:6; Luke 22:42; Job 13:15; Hebrews 12:2

We are walking in today:  Why Is It So Crucial That We Pray, Your Will Be Done?

Matthew 6:9-18 9) After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10) Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11) Give us this day our daily bread. 12)  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13) And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 14)  For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15) But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. 16) Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 17) But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; 18) That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.  Jesus not only taught His disciples to pray, Your will be done (Matthew 6:10),but He also modeled those very words in His own life  and ministry.  Which of course begs the question, why is it so crucial to pray this way?  First we are to pray that Thy will be done, is to recognize the sovereignty of God over every aspect of our daily lives.  And in effect it's a way of saying, thank God this world is under His control and not ours!  We would be in a terrible state if God gave us every thing that we had asked for. Fact is that we don't know what is best for us.  We only see a snapshot of our lives.  While God sees our entire lifetime.  That is His perspective, which is far more superior to ours!  Furthermore to pray, Thy will be done, is daily recognition that our wills must be submitted to His will.  One of the most comforting thoughts that can penetrate a human mind--yield to the will of God.  It is He that created the whole world and every thing on it. He that has created us and knows what is best for us.  That if we would want according to His will, rather than trying to command Him--according to our own will, we will indeed have what He has promised.  Peace in the midst of the storms in our life.  There is great peace in knowing that the one who taught us to pray Your will be done, has every detail of our lives under His control.  Not only is God the object of our faith--He is also the originator of our Faith!  Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.  Indeed He is the originator of our salvation and yes even the originator of our own prayer!  Thus whatever we pray whether it is healing or a house, our will is in harmony with His will.  We will not receive what we request 100% of the time.  However as Christ, prayed--nevertheless Thy will be done!  We can rest assured that even in sickness and tragedy--that He is working all things together for our good (Romans 8:28).  Finally to pray Your will be done is daily recognition that God will not spare us from trials or tribulations, but rather He will use the fiery furnace to purge the impurities in our lives.    Ultimately this is the message of the book of Job.  He endured more tragedy in a single day than many would experience in their whole life time!  Yet in his darkest hour, Job utters ultimate words of faith.  Job 13:15  Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.  For the children of God the hope is not perfect health, happiness in this life time--But a resurrected body in a heavenly dwelling, in the life to come.  James 4:14-16 14) Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. 15) For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. 16) But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.  We need to always be praying the will of God.  Nevertheless, not my will, Thy will be done!  If it be Thy will, Father--let this cup pass from me. 
What's going on in your life right now?!  Are you telling God, not my will, Thy will be done?!  When you make plans is it with the mindset of--if it be Thy will, Lord.  Is that our response when we are faced with something?  Will we respond like Jesus in the garden, nevertheless Thy will be done?  We must pray God's will, as Pastor Taffe prayed on yesterday that we pray, God's will for our life and for the land.  2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.  Are you praying the will of God?!  The will of God in your marriages, your finances, with your children?  We must crucify our flesh, pick up our cross and follow Him.  The steps of the righteous man are ordered by the Lord.  We must have Job's response--though He slays me, yet will I trust Him!  He will not put more on us than we can bear.  It is His will being done, not yours!  If you want your will done, go and make your own world and set it up your way.  No?  You can't make your own world, well then guess you better get in line with the way that this world works!  The Creator is not looking for your notes and tips on how to improve or what you would do different.  This is His program, no other options!  Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.  Fiveamprayer, we find that our way out is to trust Him and set down our ways and thoughts!   Following where God leads us is how we are blessed.  He is a keeper and wants to give us the best, not if it will cause us more harm.  He is walking us through this line upon line, precept upon precept!  No matter how much it hurts we must line up with His word, His way.  If we seek Him we shall find Him!  If we knock the door shall be opened!  If we ask He shall answer.  He is our life, His word created us and gave us our life!  How could we not better regard Him and His word?!    Get out of self and say that His will be done.  Many of us are praying selfish prayers.  Time to get in His will and set down your own agenda, permanently!  Isaiah 40:27 (AMP) Why, O Jacob, do you say, and declare, O Israel, My way and my lot are hidden from the Lord, and my right is passed over without regard from my God?  Fiveamprayer, some of us are sending up selfish prayers.  Get in His will!  He is giving us time to turn!  Obedience is better than sacrifice.  If you love Him then you will be obedient to His will.  Ask Him, what is His will for your life, for your ministry, for this job, for your marriage.  No matter how it hurts--Psalm 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.  You don't want to be out of His will!  Stop fighting against the will of God, time to line up with His word!  We must pray His will, not ours.  Pray His will for your life--your life depends on it!  Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.  What is your will for me, Lord?  Sit down and hear from Him.  Some of us have too much going on in our ears to hear.  Mark 4:9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.  We must have an ear to hear what the Spirit of the Lord is speaking!  Proverbs 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.  Pray His will.  Thy will be done!  Thank You to Pastor Taffe for teaching us that we must pray His will!  That His will be done on earth as it is done in heaven!  The Holy Spirit is telling us to move out of the way--let God have His way!  Let go, and move out of the way.  No longer walk in disobedience!  He has called us to only operate in obedience.  His will be done!  That we would pray like Jesus, Luke 22:42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.  Some one is getting set free by this word this morning!  Thy will be done!  Stand on this word like never before and be set free!  Some of us have been praying and fasting, yet not standing on His word!?  Not responding, Thy will be done!  We lift up prayer requests have them to seek Your will being done in the earth!  You make all things work together for the good of them that love the Lord, who are called according to His purpose!  We know that we can't do it!  The only way that is the Truth, the Life and the Way!  Thy will be done!  Thank You for forgiving us with no condemnation!  We know that we are not sufficient in ourselves, all sufficiency is found in You!  You are the source and origin of our lives.  No matter what man says, discovers or tries to prove otherwise--if it had not been for the Lord on our side, where would we be?!  Thank You Lord, Your will be done!  It is time to get it right with God!  He will manifest and show us His will.  Pray that His will be done!  No more struggling and not finding a way out.  Many of our problems are like reservoirs, man made but they do not compare to the real thing!  We can stand on Job's response, though He slays me, yet will I trust Him!  God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power, love and sound mind!  Thy will be done!  Don't sit there stagnate, when God has been telling you for a long time to move, this way.  Thy will be done!  Yes to Your will!   Yes to Your way!  Thy will be done!  Let's get free, free from the traps and tricks of the world.  When you seal your prayers in the blood of Jesus, that His will be done.  People used to say, if the Lord be willing!  It is all about His will--this is not a decision that you have control over.  The sooner that we all get that figured out, and walk in obedience to Him, the better it will all be!  We must change our prayers, no longer pray in the wrong way, for the wrong things!  Let us cry out in prayer for God to heal this land, called America!

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:   Thy will be done!

Welcome to the overflow...
Thank You Lord, that You sent us a word that set us free.  Job went through more trials and tribulations than we may experience in our whole lives in one day!  But look at his response, Job 13:15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.  Hallelujah Lord!  When you pray, pray that Thy will be done!  He keeps us in perfect peace with our minds stayed on Him!  The devil is still a liar! Thank You Jesus!  The enemy wants us to keep trying and failing to figure it out.  Turn it over to God. Thy will be done!  When you pray on your own this morning, yes you should be praying yourself also--you should be praying for Thy will to be done!  Look to the God who sits high and looks low, who has the way out of no way, is our Maker, and will never leave us nor forsake us!  It is His will that will be done!  Hallelujah God!  Get free!  Stop struggling, lay aside every weight that would so easily beset us!  Cast your cares, for He cares for you!  Thy will be done!  We are wrestling against things that we should not even be fighting!!  Thy will be done!  The battle is not ours it is the Lords!  Go on and seek His face. Thy will be done!  Hallelujah God!  We can yell out Ruth Ann's name, Thy will be done!  There is enough healing in the hem of His garment to heal.  Stop trying to figure it out, God has already gotten it worked out!  Thy will be done!  The word is up front, leading us showing us the way to walk in it.  Thank You Lord for teaching us how to pray.  Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  They will be done!  When was the last time you picked up the word?  We must demand, declare and decree in the name of Jesus, sealed in His precious blood.  Many of us had forgotten our first love.  Stop trying to figure it out. Seek His face!  That His will be done!  Seek His face, be anxious for nothing!  Then God comes back to teach us how to pray!  To pray His will!  We should be set free, seeking His face and then no longer anxious and praying His will.  God always lines up His word!  Week after week, after week each word builds on the previous one!  Thank You God for building us up in Your word!  Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free!  We are no longer bound by thinking that we can figure it out.  Give it all over to God.  All the glory, honor and praise!  Teach us how to pray as You pray to the Father--nevertheless, not my will, Thy will be done!

Finding God's Blessings, In Tough Times.

Philippians 4:6; 1 Kings 8:28; Proverbs 3:6; Daniel 6:10; Matthew 6:25, 25:27-28,31,34; Romans 8:31; 2 Chronicles 7:14; Psalm 34:19; Matthew 18:20, 6:33; Psalm 27:13, 23:4; Psalm 1:3

We are walking in today:  Finding God's Blessings, In Tough Times.
 
Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.  The economy is painfully squeezing people right now.  Churches are no exception.  No one typically thinks of a lack of funding as a positive thing.  However I have learned, over the years that sometimes when we are in the midst of tough times, we might be right where God wants us.  Tough times can be times of refinement. Times when we are forced  to die to ourselves--because we are not enough to solve our own problems.  That is not a bad thing, we must understand our financial challenges actually is a blessing.  For one, it could humble us--remind us that we are dependant upon God and can't do anything on our own, unless He helps us.  It helps us focus and prioritize what we do, it helps us to discover what is important.  It helps us to purge things that have become habits and may have become more important than they should be.  Time to make changes, fiveamprayer!  It will teach us to save and be better stewards of the resources we do have.  It brings us together and builds a tighter family.  It pushes us to elevate, and allows us the opportunity to see God's word.  Be anxious for nothing. What keeps coming to mind as I ponder this verse--is that God truly wants and expects us to call out to Him!  He told us on yesterday, to seek His face.  1 Kings 8:28 Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O Lord my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee to day.  Proverbs 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be anxious for nothing!  Daniel 6:10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.  Matthew 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?  Matthew 25:27-28 27) Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. 28) Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.Matthew 25:31,34 31) When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 34) Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:  Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.  Fiveamprayer be anxious for nothing!  But in all things by prayer and supplication, giving thanks and making your requests known unto God.
You need to let God know this morning, I am seeking Your face!  I seek Your, face so I am not anxious.  You are a God of perfect timing!  All we want is more of You--Your power, mercy and grace.  We are anxious for nothing!  He has gone before us making the crooked places straight.  He is the one who makes a way out of no way!  He is the Way, the Truth and the Life!  We are not worried about tomorrow--He is the same yesterday, today and forever more!  Be not weary in well doing!  We shall reap the harvest if we faint not!  We are to acknowledge Him in all of our ways, fiveamprayer.  All things by prayer and supplication, unto God.  He is more than able and has made us more than conquers, more than overcomers!   Greater is He that is with in us than he that is within this world!  How can we be anxious?!  He knows us before we were shaped in our mother's womb, He knows the number of hairs on our head.  He is a keeper and a way maker!  How can we be anxious?!  He is Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Tsidkenu, Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah Nissi, Emmanuel, Elohim, I AM--how can we be anxious?  When You said that You would show us Your glory.  How can we be anxious, You told us to call on Your name, Jesus and the enemy has to flee.  Be not anxious in your marriage, God is a God of reconciliation.  The devil wants us to be afraid but our Father has not given us a spirit of fear.  But a spirit of love, power and sound mind.  We will wait in the Lord and gain renewed strength!  Don't be anxious!  The vision will come to pass, though it tarry--wait for it! He promised to never leave nor forsake us!  Why are you anxious?!  He can do the impossible!  Trust in the Lord, no matter what!  Be not anxious, you are about to get your return!  We are blessed and highly favored of the Lord!  Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?  We are waiting on God, seeking His face.  2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.  We can't get anxious now.  We have prayed and prayed some more!  We are to walk by faith and not by sight.  We got to get that mustard seed, faith working!  Faith without works is dead!  Without faith is is impossible to please God.  Be not anxious!  God will fix it!  We must lay aside every weight that so easily besets us!  Cast your cares on the Lord, for He cares for you!  Because you can't see it, the blessing is on the way--the blessing is on you!  Don't get anxious, don't move out of position!  Life and death is in the power of the tongue.  Now is not the time to be anxious!  Be anxious for nothing!  Wait on the Lord!  Wait I say on the Lord!  Hold on to His promises!  He has already made a way out for us!  It is already done and finished!  Before the foundations of the world were set, before He said let there be light, before He said, let us make man in our own image and likeliness--it is already done!  When Jesus was nailed to the cross and got up with all power in His hands!  We are not anxious for anything!  Don't get anxious, and operate in self.  God is saying be still and know that I am God!  Don't get anxious!  Don't get out of position, nor make the wrong decision. Don't make the wrong phone call, nor speak to the wrong person.  Hold your peace, be still and know that He is God!    Victory shall be yours!  Don't get anxious!  Everything by prayer and supplication.  A praying wife can save her husband.  Don't get anxious, bless the Lord!  He inhabits the praises of His people.  Just start praising Him!  He will show up.  You can't get anxious now!  You have prayed too long and come too far!  Say it, fiveamprayer--I can't get anxious now!  The enemy is trying to disguise your season!  Make your requests known to God.  Ask Him to keep you in position, to hold your tongue, that you don't speak the wrong things.  Help us not to get anxious, operating in self.  Help us to sit down and rest in You.  To pray and fast to just keep in prayer constantly.  How can we be anxious when we serve a mighty, good and awesome God?!  A God that can not fail!?  Be anxious for nothing!  The devil is still a liar!  We won't move until we see God's glory!  That we see healing in this land!    We are not anxious--Psalm 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.  The word says all--not some.  We are not anxious!  We are delivered out of them all!!  How can we be anxious?  The prayers of the righteous, availeth much!  He is our Lily of the Valley, our Bright and Morning Star, our Intercessor, who sits at the right hand of the Father!  He says, forgive them Father, they know not what they do.  He is the Author and Finisher of our faith!  I am not anxious for nothing!  We have eternal life through the blood of Jesus, we have power over the grave!  Be not anxious for nothing!  If you are feeling anxious, start praying, call someone up to pray with you.  Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.  You know that one can chase 1,000 and two 10,000!  Tell them I need some help with this thing!  I am not anxious, nor worried.  Tomorrow will take care of itself.  Some of us are so worried about tomorrow, that we can't live for today.  He gives us brand new mercies everyday!  Get out of self, you can't fix it, anyway.  Be anxious for nothing!  The devil wants us to be anxious, worried, afraid and fearful--then he can get us to stop praying and calling on the name of the Lord.  Because in your panic, you are tying to fix it yourself.  We must move ourselves out of the way.  How can you spend time seeking Him, then walk around anxious?!  We worship the Lord, He is looking for worshipers to worship Him in spirit and in truth.  We are praying for healing in the land.  We are not anxious.  Wait upon the Lord, He shall renew your strength!  As we lay on our faces and seek You early, we are standing on Your word--Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.  That is why we are not anxious!  Thank You for Your mercy and grace!  We are not anxious!  Look at this with your spiritual eyes and see His goodness!  Psalm 27:13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living!  Don't get anxious, lean on His everlasting arms!  He is Omnipotent!  His ways are not our ways, nor His thoughts like our thoughts!  Don't be anxious!  Be still and know that He is God!  We are getting free right now!  Who the Son sets free is free indeed!  Keep on walking, being anxious for nothing!  Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.  The word says that we are to walk through the valley of the shadow of death.  That He is with us, that His rod and staff comfort us.  So that is why we are not anxious!  We fear no evil, God is walking with us!  I am not anxious!  Fall on your face and humble yourself!  As Pastor Taffe taught on Sunday that being humble is being obedient to what God had told you to do.  Fiveamprayer, we must be steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in Him!  Psalm 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.  Why are some trees so strong,it is because in many cases their root systems are as tall or taller as the height of the tree.  I shall not, I shall not be moved!  Be anxious for nothing!  Hallelujah glory to Your name!  Hallelujah God!    Thank You Father!  Hallelujah God!  Thank You Jesus!  Thank You Lord!  Thank You God!  Even in the fire we will come out not smelling of smoke, nor the flame kindle on us!  Be not anxious!  We lift up fiveamprayer this morning!  They are screaming out I am anxious for nothing!  We lift up prayer requests those known and unknown, we are not anxious!   We are lying out at the alter, laying aside every weight that would so easily beset us!  We cast our cares, for You care for us!  We ain't anxious for nothing!  We are like Job this morning, though He slays me, yet will I trust Him!  We come to repent, some of us were getting anxious.  Forgive us, and heal the land.  Hold on, don't get anxious!  Don't make a wrong move or say the wrong thing!

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:   We are anxious for nothing!

Welcome to the overflow...
Thank You Holy Spirit!  He came to make us free!  God comes to tell us don't be anxious!  Be still and know that I AM God!  Thank You Lord!  He will give us peace that surpasses all understanding, joy unspeakable and double for our trouble.  Don't be anxious for anything!  Visit us on facebook, it will encourage you, take time out to read the scriptures today.  Walk in this word, tell yourself I am anxious for nothing!  The devil is already under our feet!  The enemy is a defeated foe!  Have a blessed day!

I don't know about you, but I am seeking the face of the Lord!  He is more than able!  It is He that is more than able to heal our land!  We need healing in America!  He is saying at this time--2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.  Fiveamprayer, seek Him!  He wants us to come back to Him.  We need to restore our relationship with the Father!  This is the time to seek His face!  Lord, show us Your glory, for Your power to manifest and show up like never before!  We are no longer moved by our the needs in the natural, we are seeking after heavenly treasures, things that are of our Father!  We are seeking out those things of great value that will never tarnish nor fade!  We want to obedient and humble before You, Lord.  We wanna hear from You.  You promised to never to leave nor forsake us!  So we know that You are still here and we are seeking Your face.  We want to draw closer to You.  To be like David--Psalm 27:4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.  We are calling out to You!  We come to You by faith, believing that You are all that we need!  We come laying aside every weight that would so easily beset us!  We come to cast our cares on You, for You care for us!  As we look at You, we wanna see ourselves.  More of You, Lord and less of us!  We ask for Your wisdom, and more of Your word.  Fiveamprayer, let us put on the whole armor of God.  We wanna hear, well done My good and faithful servant.  We are seeking a restored relationship with You.  You told us that if we seek You first that You will take care of everything else.  We set aside our agenda and plans--Isaiah 55:8-9 8) For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 9) For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.  We are to seek Him first--not things!  As Pastor Taffe shared on yesterday, we are to seek the One who blesses and not the blessing!  Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.  What are you seeking first?  If it is not God, get it right and turn from those wicked ways!  Our thoughts are to be of Him and the things of His concern!  Matthew 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. Make sure that you are seeking Him with all that you are with pure intentions in thoughts and heart.  Keep seeking Him in His word. Seek His face in all things!  God should be a part of every part of your life--He can not be placed in a box or shoved into a cupboard!  Are you seeking Him and asking Him for mercy?!  We need Him like never before.  We have done so much that is worthy of His wrath and judgement, seek Him for His mercy that He spares us!  And since we are asking for His mercy, let us also ask for the strength to turn away from the ways of the world and back to Him.  That those things that are hooked in are removed, that we are no longer a prisoner to the wrong things.  Get into His presence and remain, the things that are against Him can not reside in holy presence!  Press in and keep on reading His word--spend time to read the scriptures out loud to yourself.  There is something in the reading of scripture our loud.  You see it and hear it so that the word in entering into you as well as your present atmosphere.  It is also directed by God--Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. That, but thou shall meditate in the Hebrew is the word hagah which means--to moan, growl, utter, muse, mutter, meditate, speak: the growl as a lion over his prey; the murmuring of one musing over  a thing to one's self; also to remember anything; the groaning and sighing of men.  Take some time out today to read these scriptures out loud to yourself, that you get more of His word down on the inside of you!  Proverbs 12:25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad. Hebrews 3:15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.   Psalm 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.  Psalm 37:31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.  Time for a heart check--we must know what we have in our hearts, that is what leads our actions!  If you are pursing, stalking and chasing God that is what is in your heart!  Asking after Him, what shall I do, Father?  Walking in obedience to all that He has told you--we know that obedience is better than sacrifice.  That we will go where You say and speak what You direct us to speak.  All things are working together for the good of those that love the Lord!  Lay aside every weight!  Those things in your life are deceiving you!  They are not more important then the most high God!  They that seek after Him, find Him!  What are you seeking after?!  He keeps coming to tell us, that if His people, who are called by His name would humble themselves, pray, and seek His face...that is what we must do, like never before!  Take your mind and heart off of the things in this world, it should be firmly placed on things in heavenly places!  We need a new mind set, our minds set on God's business, what are you going about doing?  If you ask Jesus, He is about His Father's business.  What business are you about?!  Look to God in all things--He has the answer!  Show us Your glory!  We wanna see Your face, to reside in Your presence.  We get up early seeking Your face!  Jesus got up early too, with all power of heaven and earth in His hands!  We are to watch and pray and seek His face!  We are transformed by the renewing of our minds!  Our minds are renewed by the meditation on His word.  The muttering of His scriptures that we may continue in the way that He is directing us!  Seek the Lord and His strength, forever more!  His strength is made perfect in our weakness.  We can do all things through Christ, which strengthens us!  We are more than overcomes, more than conquers!  We walk by faith and not by sight!  Keep seeking His face, fiveamprayer!  He gives us joy unspeakable, a peace that surpasses understanding.  I dare you to seek His face!  He will show up saying well done, My good and faithful servant.   We come seeking You this morning, not making any requests.  Lord, just have fiveamprayer to seek You like never before!  We come to repent and ask for forgiveness, that You would wash us and restore us to right standing with You.  Thank Your for casting our sins away, as far as the east is from the west.  Thank You for forgiving us with no condemnation!  Thank You for Your mercy and grace!  Thank You for Your word, the word that we can stand on--the word that we are standing on!  The word that can not be reversed nor return void!  The same word that was wrapped in flesh to teach us and restore us back to You!  Thank You for giving us scripture after scripture this morning!  We are to seek Your face, to see healing of our land.

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:  We are seeking Your face!

Welcome to the overflow...
Hallelujah Lord!  Fiveamprayer is seeking Your face!  Thank You Lord for Your promise to never leave nor forsake us!  Many of us have turned away from our first love, now is the time to turn back!  Seek His face like never before.  You know when you spend so much time with someone, you start to look like them.  The world should know that we have been seeking His face.  Exodus 34:29 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him.  Seek His face all day today!  Visit us on facebook, it will encourage you!  Have a blessed Memorial day, remember those who are no longer with us as well as all of the great things the Father has done for you!  Amen, amen.

Is There No Balm In Gilead?

Jeremiah 8:22, 32:17,30:17; 2 Chronicles 7:14; Isaiah 40:31; Luke 18:27; Romans 8:31; Psalm 27:13; Mark 4:9; Joshua 24:15

We are walking in today:  Is There No Balm In Gilead?

Jeremiah 8:22 Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?  On yesterday we fell on our faces to tell God, we are all sinners!  God's response to us is, is there no balm in Gilead?  I have healing for your soul!  I have healing for sinners, your marriages, your finances, your children--everything!  Jeremiah 32:17 Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee.  Is there no balm in Gilead?  Yes, there most certainly is!  The most excellent balm in the world!  Is there no physician there?  Yes, persons well-skilled in the application of the balm!  Why then is not the daughters of My people recovered?  Because ye have not went to the physician nor used the balm.  Ye are dying because you will not use the remedy.  To apply this metaphor, the Israelites are represented as a man dying of a disease.  A disease of which the cure is the balm of Gilead and applied by a physician.  But though there be a balm and physician, the people are not cured.  Neither their spiritual, political evils are removed, but what does this all mean spiritually?  The people are morally diseased.  They have sinned against God and provoked Him to destroy them.  They are warned by the prophets to repent and turn to God.  They refuse and sin-all.  Destruction is come upon them, thought they might have avoided it.  Yet, was it the fault of God?  No.  Did He not send His prophet with the richest offers of mercy?  Did He not give them time, the best instruction and most effectual means of returning to Him?!  Has not mercy, the heavenly balm been ever present, ever at hand?  Has not God the great Physician been ever at the ready to apply it?!  Yes!  Why then are they not healed?  Because they would not apply the divine Physician nor receive the only remedy by which they could be spiritually healed.  They then that sinned against the only remedy, must perish because they might have had it but, would not.  It is not because there is a deficiency of grace nor a means of grace, that men are not saved.  But because they either make no use or bad use of them!  Jesus Christ by the grace of God had tasted death for all men, but few are saved.  Because they will not come onto Him, that they may be saved and have life.  We are all sinners!  But there is a balm in Gilead!  Jeremiah 30:17  For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after. 
I don't know about you, but right now in America--we need some healing!  There is a balm in Gilead, there is a great Physician there!  I know Him to be a healer.  He is the same yesterday, today and forever more!  He gives us healing for our souls, in our marriages, our children, and our finances.  Are you applying the word to your life!?  That word from Genesis to Revelation?   He has been dealing with us for two weeks to seek Him in 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.  He is telling us something important--He is sending us the same word over and over again!  Sound the alarm and get ready for His return!  Make ready to cross over.  He is sounding the alarm, fiveamprayer!  He will do all that He said that He would for us.  We got to repent and turn from our wicked ways.  John was given one message, repent!  Noah was given one message, it is going to rain!  God is saying pray and turn from our wicked ways, to seek His face in our humility.  There is a balm in Gilead.  We have the great Physician!  That depression that is coming to you has to cease.  Apply the balm of Gilead from head to toe.  God has not given us the spirit of fear, but the spirit of love, power and sound mind.  He is sending healing to us. We must pray and fast.  Pray to destroy the devices of the enemy.  There is a balm in Gilead.  He will restore us!  The scales are falling off!  Thank You Lord!  Walk in the truth.  No matter what the world is doing--pray.  Turn it over to God, cry out to Him.  Call on the name of Jesus!  He is the only one who can help.  He will renew your strength that we may soar like eagles!   Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.  There is still power in the blood of Jesus!  We seal our prayers in the blood of Jesus!  There is a balm in Gilead!  What do you need?  Fiveamprayer, keep seeking His face and getting up early to hear a word from Him!  We shall receive what we ask, because we believe!  He is the Way, the Truth and the Life!  God is showing up with healing for our bodies, our minds, our churches, our marriages.  He is Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah Tsidkenu, I AM that I AM, Omnipotent, Emmanuel--what is it that you need?  Fiveamprayer, God is asking what it is that you want.  Luke 18:27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.  For those in need of healing, we know that--weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning!  The joy of the Lord is our strength!  Many of us need healing on our job, healing from what we are going through!  Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?  The breakthrough is right now!!  He came to heal the broken hearted and to set the captive free!  There is a balm in Gilead!  The devil tries to defeat you, in your mind.  That is where he comes to attack us the most--in our thoughts.  There is a balm in Gilead!  Believe and hold on!  Psalm 27:13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.  Call on His name, pray!  Reach out to touch His hem, there is enough healing in the hem of His garment to heal all of us!  No matter what the world is doing.  Men with men and women with women--a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah, the churches need to fall on their faces and pray like never before.  Send up your requests to Him!  We need some prayer time!  There is a balm in Gilead!  We need the balm like never before--some of us are under attack on every side.  We know that there is no weapon that is formed against us that shall prosper.  There is a balm in Gilead!  He is the Healer!  He will reconcile your marriage, we serve a God of reconciliation. Apply the word, in the name of Jesus.  He is a doctor in the sickroom and a lawyer in the courtroom.  He's a healer and makes a way out of no way!  He is the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star.  It is He that can open a door that no man can shut and shut a door that no man can open.  There is a balm in Gilead!  He is the same yesterday, today and forever more!  Hallelujah God!  Mark 4:9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.  God is warning us that we must humble ourselves and to pray and seek His face.  Fiveampryaer, we must repent!  God is sending us the same word over and over again.  That means that it is a warning!  Repent!  God is sending us a warning, that we would turn from our wicked ways.  Get right with God and do it now!  You can hear this alarm going off in the spiritual realm.  There is a balm in the Gilead.  Hallelujah God!  Think about what you are going through--He has made us more than conquerors, more than overcomers!  There is a balm in Gilead!  We are walking in Your word.  There is a warning going on!  If My people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray, turn from their wicked ways and seek My face, then I will hear from heaven and heal their land.  This is revelation time!  The devil is seeking who he may devour. Turn from your wicked ways!  Don't want till the end and hear God say, I know you not, you workers of iniquity.  Thank You for being our Physician!  Thank You for telling us that right now in America in the year of 2012, there is a balm in Gilead.  Thank You Lord!  We lift up fiveamprayer--You have given us a word, repent.  We lift up prayer requests those known and unknown.  God has a response to all of our requests and petitions--there is a balm in Gilead.  We are falling on our faces and casting down every imagination!  We come to You, Lord asking for forgiveness.  We repent for our sins, those known and unknown.  We repent right now and choose to turn to You Lord!  We take a stand.  Thank You Lord for forgiving us with no condemnation. Teach us Lord how to forgive as You have forgiven us!

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:  Thank You God for Your healing balm!

Welcome to the overflow...
Thank You God!  Thank You Father!  Thank You for warning us--over and over!  If My people, who are called by My name...we have gotta humble ourselves and pray and turn from our wicked ways.  To seek after God's face, then He will hear from heaven and heal our land.  We need a balm in the United States--apply healing today!  You are a God of order!  Have us to line up with your word.  We are turning  and seeking Your face!  Thank You heavenly Father!  Hallelujah!  To God be the glory!  Thank You Lord for giving us more time!  Repent!  Repent!  We gotta get it right !  He is such a merciful God!  Who is full of grace and mercy!  Take a stand, be like Joshua when he said in chapter 24 verse 15... but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.  Thank You Lord!  Tell someone that there is healing for America, because there is a balm in Gilead!  Tell Obama, Michelle and their children to get on there face and pray--there is a balm in Gilead.  His people are suffering, we are not to be weary in well doing.  There is a balm in Gilead!  He is sending out healing.  So be humble and keep seeking Him daily.  Fiveamprayer, walk in humility.  Thank You Lord!  We are to lean not to our own understanding, but in all of our ways to acknowledge Him and He will direct our path!  Do this thing, His way!  Get in the word and know what thus says the Lord!  Take time out to read the scriptures for yourself.  Visit us on facebook, it will encourage you!  Have a supernatural, blessed weekend!

We Are All Sinners.

1 John 1:5-10; Philippians 4:17-21; 1 John 3:8; John 5:39; Luke 17: 1-4; Revelation 3:18; Proverbs 24:16; 2 Chronicles 7:14; Romans 8:31; Matthew 6:33; 1 Corinthians 1:27; Luke 13:27; Matthew 18:20

We are walking in today:  We Are All Sinners.

1 John 1:5-10 5) This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6) If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7) But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10) If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.  If we say we have no sin, then the truth is not in us, this means we have no sin--when we do, have sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.  John does not give us a license to sin--because the same John also said, he that sinneth is of the devil.   1 John 3:8  He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.  If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  If we say we have not sinned we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.  This means, if we say we have not sinned, when we have sinned--we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.  Philippians 4:17-21 17) Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. 18) But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God. 19) But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 20) Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 21) Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.  So when you are thinking about that we are all sinners, and we all fall short--we must continue to check ourselves.  We can mean well and still be enemies of Christ, and not even know it!  John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.   Luke 17: 1-4 1)Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!  2) It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. 3) Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. 4) And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.  Sin must be repented of, the key is in verse 4, he that turns again and repent.  The Holy Ghost will convict us of sin, and make it appear exceedingly sinful.  Lord, oh please let the scales fall from our eyes!!  In the book of Revelation 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.  Take off the mask, walk in Truth, and realize we are all sinners--saved by grace.  Open my eyes God!!!
Ask God to open your eyes.  We are all sinners!  We did not have this all together, look to God, He will clean us!  Because of Jesus' perfect and finished work, we can receive His righteousness.  There is no perfect man.  Proverbs 24:16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.  God comes to tell us from 2 Chronicles 7:14, If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.  God is sending out a warning to us!  There is still time to get it right.  We must know, that we know, that we know!  We must walk in all truth!  Look to God, He is more than able.  We are all sinners.  We must repent, everyday so that we can hear well done My good and faithful servant.  We were born in sin, wrapped up in iniquity.  Fiveamprayer, we must crucify our flesh, dying daily and speaking only His words.  You do know that the enemy is listening to what we speak, he will use our words against us!  The power of life and death is in the tongue.  Hear Him clearly and speak His word!  Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?  We must speak the word of God only!  It is by His word that we live, and have a planet to walk around on!  We know that by His stripes we were healed!  Speak the word of God, don't get into panic, doubt, fear or worry.  As Pastor Taffe taught on Wednesday that thinking on those things closes down the ability to see a way out.  Why let the enemy keep you isolated and in a down position?!  Don't you know how much your heavenly Father cares for you?!  He is still reaching for you and He does see you and He cares.  We must be aware of what it is that we speak, keep that panic, fear and doubt at bay with the truth of God's word in your mouth, on your heart and in your spirit.  That is why we must meditate on His word, day and night.  We know that the devil does not take a break, so why should we!  We must have our defenses up at all times.  Stay, keep, remain and reside in His word, let it be what is tangled up in you, that it is intertwined into your thoughts and speech.  Leaving no room for the enemy to gain a toe hold.  We must not have any gaps or spaces for access.  Thank You Lord that You keep washing us and teaching us, restoring and renewing us!  We know that You are with us always we can count it all joy.  Because God is with us, in the storms, trials and valleys, His promise is to never leave us, nor forsake us!  Fiveamprayer, speak the word of God!  Be aware that the enemy is listening--think about it when you are in war, you want to be able to listen in on your opposition to see what the plans are, where they store their goods and all other information.  That will allow your attacks to be more effective.  That is why God has been dealing with us on what we speak, that we are not hasty nor pushed to speaking out loud, out of turn.  Speaking in fear, doubt and then there are all of those thoughts of imagination that spring up in your mind.  We are to cast down imaginations!  Fear brings torment.  We are to walk by faith and not by sight.  He gives us a word that saves us!  We repent because He is more than an overcomer!  Keep walking in His word.  Stand on His promises, just keep getting up early and seeking Him first!  Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.  No matter what the devil says, there is no weapon that is formed against us that shall prosper.  Call on Jesus, the enemy has to flee!  The enemy is already defeated!  God has already won this fight!  In the end we win!  Keep holding on to your faith.  We are all sinners.  Take some time, to take that tree out of your eye before you help them with the splinter in their eye.  We all fall short!  Thank You for Your grace and Your mercy.  We are to only speak His word!  This is the same word that does not come back void, it will accomplish all that is was sent to do.  That is why we are defeated, we have been speaking everything else but His word.  Why aren't you speaking the word of God?!  Some times the enemy is coming after us and we are not speaking God's word.  We must speak His word, in everything that you are going through.  God says hold on, your breakthrough and reconciliation is on the way.  He is Jehovah Jireh!  Don't give up now!  Hold on like never before.  He gives us His grace, mercy, eternal life and laid down His own life for us!  Your blessing is in that storm, trial, or struggle.  Hold on the blessing is right now, in your marriage, finances and children.  The weapons may form but they will not prosper.  Don't be afraid nor be in fear!  He is gone a head of us, making the crooked straight.  Trust Him!  We are not sufficient in ourselves.  We are no earthly good--we must humble ourselves--then God can use you!  We are all sinners!  Thank You for forgiving us with no condemnation.  Fiveamprayer, ask Him to forgive you.  That He would cast your sins as far as the east is from the west.  Get it right with God, there is still time!  He is compassionate and patient.  We mess up every day, with what we think in our thoughts and the things that we say.  God forgive us!  Wash us Lord, cleanse us and search us!  Take away anything that is not of You, Lord!  Let us hide Your word inside our hearts that we don't sin against You.  That is the word that we meditate on, day and night.  We are not perfect, but we wanna get it right!  Walk in the truth!  No more lies!  The devil is a deceiver!  We are getting caught up in deception, we need a Holy Ghost prayer revival!  With the whole church on their face in prayer!  When we don't get up until something happens, that we have a shut-in!  The enemy is coming after our children, against our marriages and even us.  The enemy is roaming to see who he may devour.  We are all sinners.  We need to repent!  We are nothing but filthy rags, that is why Christ had to come, we could and would never get cleaned up by our own merits or power.  Now that Christ has died and has risen, we can take on His righteousness.  There is nothing that we can do in our own power.  You did not wake yourself up this morning, it was God that touched you with a finger of love.  No, it was not the alarm clock.  He continues to give you the breath of life.  You ain't nothing without God!  Kick off everything that is up on a pedal stool. Get it together!  Or else we die in our sins.  It is getting late in the evening, when no man can work. We got to work our faith.  We are to walk by faith and not by sight.  Walk in, the word.  We are all sinners!  We must examine ourselves daily!  We are in this together!  There are no big I's and little you's.  Some people get titles and then are offended when they are called by their name.   We are to deny ourselves and to follow Him.  Those same people who take care in their title, are also not saying that they are sinners.  You ain't no better than anyone else!  Only one man walked on this earth, perfect and holy before God, His name is Jesus!  Since that is not your name, you are a sinner and in desperate need of Him!  1 Corinthians 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty.  Some of us get so much education that we are no earthly good.  God takes the things that are foolish to confound the wise.  Do you know who God is!?  A tree is known by the fruit that is bears.  Are you bearing godly fruit?  We must check the DNA, does this person know my heavenly Father!  We aren't worried about titles, we are all sinners!  And we must repent from our sins!  Those who claim to not have sinned call God a liar.  We all fall short every day.  Most often in our thoughts.  We all fall short, forgive us Lord.  Seek Him first and get set free.  He says that He chastens those that He loves.  Fiveamprayer, God loves us!  We have got to get this right!  We have to walk in the truth on this and to let everyone know that we are all sinners.  We do fall short.  Just get back up again.  Don't keep doing the same thing or He will turn you over to a reprobate mind.  Don't forget that!  If you keep doing the same after He has given you chances to turn and repent.  You could be turned over to a reprobate mind, that you will stay in the sin that you are in and God will say I know you not at the end of your life.  Luke 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.  Wouldn't that be awful to get to the end of this life and hear I know you not, from God.  We still have time to repent, we are all sinners.  Wash us Lord!  We die daily.  We gotta be like Paul, dying daily to the flesh.  We can't just say anything or have every conversation with everybody.  We shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.  Time out for playing church or church as usual.  There is work to do.  God said the harvest is plenty, but the labors are few.  The world is dying around us.  Few labors with all of this mission work, the evangelists need to be outside of the walls. We must get outside of the four walls.  This is a 24 hour job.  Somebody is dying.  Look at our example, Jesus He was not in the church, He was out in the fields, going about His father's business.  Someone needs you on your job, or on the streets, or standing in the line at Walmart.  Someone needs the word.  They are dying out here and nobody is giving them a word!  It is time to get to work.  I challenge you today to tells someone that you have never seen or met about God, the rock of ages, Jehovah Jireh, The Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star.  We are all sinners, we all fall short.  Get up and walk it out, together!  Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.  Walk it out together!  There is a person on the street on drugs and does not have it together.  You are one short fall from being there yourself.  Stop judging others, you are a sinner!  We must humble ourselves, it could have been me!  It could have been you!  Coming from a family of alcoholics and a mother who committed suicide--it could have been me!  But God!  He had mercy on me!  He had His hands on me from the time that I was seven years old.  It could have been me!  Think about your life, it could have been you.  There are people who are locked up but you had a lawyer in the courtroom, named Jesus.  None of us is any better than anyone of us!  Stop sitting there pointing the finger at others.  Stop getting caught up in titles.  We are all sinners.  Tell the truth!  That you have to repent daily!  Tell it for the pulpit to the door.  Because we are dying out here!  Some of us are sitting in church and dying, not telling others our testimonies.  We overcome by the blood of the lamb and the words of our testimony.  So now you are sitting there at church, all cute and well dressed, but no one is making anyone free.  That there isn't anyone making disciples.  We lift up fiveamprayer we come before You, on our faces, we are all sinners.  Thank You for Your grace and mercy, it is His blood that makes us righteous.  We lift up prayer requests, those known and unknown.  We are laying on the alter, for our thoughts, what we say, being angry without sinning.  We ask for forgiveness. Thank You Lord for forgiving us with no condemnation.  Get up and turn from that thing.  Thank You Lord for casting them into the sea. 

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:  Thank You God, for forgiving us!

Welcome to the overflow...
He is sparing our lives, someone did not wake up this morning.  Thank You Lord for forgiving us!  Thank You Lord!  Amen!  The scales have fallen off of our eyes!  As scripture says in Revelation that we are to put eye salve on or eyes that we may see.  God told us that we will see in 2012, manifestation and revelation.  God want's not any to be lost.  The challenge is to speak to someone that you don't know and give them a word from God.  Tell them that you shall know the the truth and the the truth shall make you free!  Keep trusting Him, and knowing that you are a sinner.  He is cleaning us up.  Thank You Lord!  We got free this morning.  Take a look in the mirror, the enemy is me!  Visit us on facebook, it will encourage you!  Have a blessed day!

Thank You for those who stood in the gap this morning.  Sometimes we are to stand in the gap.  The enemy tries to come in where there is a gap.  We are seeking out those areas and will stand in the gap.  You know that united we stand, divided we fall--in unity there is commanded blessing.  One can chase 1,000 and two can chase 10,000!  We are standing in the gap this morning.  I'm excited and a little child shall lead them!  There were prayers of repentance, peace, joy, courage, for change, and grace.  We come standing together.  Stand in the gap, make up the hedge.   Thank You God!  It takes courage to get up at 5:00am in the morning.  It takes courage to pray on a line with many people listening.  We send out our thanks to all of the young men who lifted up prayers this morning.  Hallelujah and glory to Your name!  Ezekiel 22:30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.  We have got to learn how to stand in the gap for each other--to make up the hedge!  Fiveamprayer, pray for those young men who prayed this morning.  Stand in the gap for others who are going through those tough situations, right now.  There may come a time when we will be weak and will need someone else to be strong or that we are strong and someone else is weak.  You may need them to stand in the gap for you!  We lift them up in prayer to You Lord, we know that prayer changes things!  We come to stand in the gap, while standing on one accord.  Sometimes you will have to stand there and make the hedge.  Stand in the gap in your marriages.  God knows!  He knew that we would need to stand in the gap--He is always teaching us!  If My people, who are called by My name, would humble themselves and pray, turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and heal their land.  That is what you have gotta do, stand in the gap!  There are so many attacks coming against our young men, our black young men.  Lift them up, pray for them--like never before!  Stand in the gap!  Stop giving out your opinion, how about you lift them up in prayer?!  We are all here because someone else prayed for us!  Those prayers that pulled you through when you did not know any better and sometimes even when you did!!  Thank You for Your mercy, grace and long suffering!  Those prayers that covered us and pulled on His unmerited favor on and in our lives!  Only God can do such wonders!  Hallelujah!  Who are you standing in the gap for?  Who are you making up the hedge for?  Someone may call you and ask that you cover them in prayer, that you would stand in the gap for them. Matthew 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.  Stand in the gap, we need each other.  That is why we must stand together!  Are you the one who will stand in the gap?  God is looking for who is standing in the gap.   Fiveamprayer, stand in the gap for the Pastors, churches and this world!  Thank You Lord, for this day!  One can chase 1, ooo and 2 can chase 10, 000.  Come on and stand in the gap with me!  Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.  Stand together, fiveamprayer!  Today we are embracing the young men.  Visit us on facebook, it will encourage you.  I dare you to stand in the gap and pray, instead of talking about it!  Have a blessed day!
