We are walking in today:  Prepared For The Shift, Through Prayer.

Philemon 1:22
But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.  God is calling us not do church, as usual.  Fiveamprayer, there is s shift taking place and it is through your prayers!  I was able to see the manifestation of God in the house of Divine Journey on yesterday, I just gotta thank Pastor Vermont for his obedience in listening to  God.  We prayed the entire service.  We must pay attention to the shift!  We can shift the atmosphere, by our prayers!  Here we find Paul in the book of Philemon speaking out of faith, he was a prisoner but was believing that he would be set free to the extent that he says prepare me lodgings.  He is saying fix me up a place to stay because I believe I'm coming to you all, based on your prayers!  He trusted others to pray also for him and acted as though the answer was already given.  That is faith!  He believed it, so it was!  If we ask God for something and don't believe, we will get it--then what is the use of asking?!  Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  Substance is something that we can see.  If faith is the substance of things hoped for, then it is something that we can see as an result of hoping for something.  Paul was hoping to be released and so his substance, his request for lodging to be prepared.  By making that request, a place to stay, he was putting his faith into action.  He was saying this is what is going to happen.  Your faith should be speaking to your desired end result, your expectation, where your hope resides.  Believing that it would come, being brought about by their the prayers for his release.  We prayed at Divine Journey for the release of one of our sisters.  Paul was not dependent on himself totally, but on them also to be praying.  We are instructed to pray for one another!  The evidence was them actually preparing it!  They also had to believe what they were praying.  They had to believe that the Lord would deliver Paul to them.  Paul knew they would obey him.  He said he had confidence in that they would to more than what he said.  So we know by this--it is done.  That them believing, it would happen and Paul having confidence in their prayers and obedience--we see how it becomes evidence of faith.  Is your faith working like this?  Do you step out in faith--not always knowing, but trusting God to make the way when there seems to be no way?  Trust and obey and your needs will be met!  Step out in faith and watch the miracles of God!  Don't miss the shift that is going on, fiveamprayer!  There is a shift going on through prayer!All things come by prayer and supplication.  We are to pray and not faint.  1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.  God tells us in that if we humble ourselves and pray and seek His face He will forgive our sins and heal the land.  God is building a house of prayer!  We have got to follow the shift of God!  No more church as usual!  Stand in the gap for one another.  Some of us are walking around in bondage in our minds. We have got to be constant in prayer of each other!  There is a shift going on and it is coming through our prayers!  Walk down the aisle to the alter and set down your marriage, your children, your finances,  and yourself.  Pray, and seal your prayer in the blood of Jesus!  We have to pray and pray some more!  Pray for His mercy!  Pray for ears to hear what the Spirit of the Lord is speaking!  Pray that the spirit man on the inside is stirred up by the Holy Spirit that is leading and guiding us!  Pray that we cast down every imagination that would attempt to exalt itself against the high knowledge of God!  Pray that the body comes together in this shift, through prayer!  We must be paying attention.  Battlefield positions:  on our knees!  We are to pray until something happens!  Call on the name of Jesus!  Let that thing go and let God get a hold of it!  Lay it down at the alter.  Come on down  to the alter, God still answers prayer.  Stand with someone else and touch and agree and it shall be done.  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 heavenHe is calling us higher!  It's coming through your prayers!  He is our Healer, our present help!  Run to the alter, He is the only one who can do it!  Touch us again, Lord!  Fiveamprayer reach out to touch the hem of His garment!  We are coming to the alter, Lord, just as we are.  Clean us, wash us--have Your way with us Lord!  Not our will be done, but Your will done, Thy kingdom come on Earth as it is in heaven!  Purge us of our old ways that we get out of self.  Let the scales fall off of our eyes.  Have faith that we know that through prayers we are coming out of this thing.  There is s shift going on!  Are you talking to God?  Seeking Him all day and all night?  An on going, constant conversation with the Father?  We are to be watchmen on the wall, telling God what He said--it is He that put that desire on the inside of us of us!  Psalm 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.  As Minister Davis taught on yesterday, in Isaiah 62:6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence.  Fiveamprayer, keep not silence, keep going before Him, taking Him back His word--His promises!  Sounds like a constant dialogue, a seeking out of His presence to speak with Him to let Him know that you have not forgotten His word that you are looking for it to be made manifest in your life.   As Paul asked them to make ready for his arrival out of prison--speaking to his expected endJeremiah 29:11-12 11) For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 12) Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.  God is giving us our expected end!  We shall call upon Him and pray and He will hear us!  This is a time of really seeking God in prayer!  That which we are seeking, that desire of our hearts, God gave it to us!  Come on down to the alter, seek, ask and knock.  Jesus is standing there with arms outstretched--He will draw nigh to us as we draw nigh to Him!  Be still and know that He is God!  Weeping may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning.  We are to cast our cares on Him, for He cares for us!  He would never put more on us than we can bear!  God is love and love covers a multitude of sins!  Lord we repent and ask for Your forgiveness for all the wrong we have done, said or thought!  He forgives us with no condemnation, He has cast our sins in the sea that they be remembered no more!  We must forgive others that we too are forgiven, fiveamprayer.  Come on down to the alter.  Thank You Lord for this quiet time with You!  We lift up fiveamprayer this morning, cover their every need, Lord.  We lift up prayer requests those known and unknown.  There is someone at the alter saying that they are so tired.  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.  God is telling you to wait on Him.  He shall renew your strength that you may mount up with wings as an eagle and soar!   God's strength is made perfect in our weakness!  Rest in Him--He is whispering in your ear, "I AM keeping you."  



We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:   There is shift going on, and it is coming through your prayers!


Welcome to the overflow...
 
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.  Thank You God!  Thank You for Your peaceful presence!  We can just rest in it!  That is a promise we have from Jesus--Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  Remember that shall is a mandate, that it has to happen but we have our part too.  Fiveamprayer are you taking His yolk and learning of Him?  Jesus is our example, constant in prayer, ongoing conversation with the Father, so much so that the disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray!  Thank You God!  We will stay on our faces seeking you and resting in Your presence!  Some of us are in a prison of our own minds, but we are not longer bound while in Your presence--2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.  Thank You God!  That is why we are no longer imprisoned!  Fiveamprayer we can rest in Him for He is keeping us!  Lord, we stay laid out before You.  We must pay attention to the shift that is going on!  Be in position, God is leading you!  Visit us on facebook, it will encourage you!  Have a wonderfully blessed day!
