We are walking in today:  Open Up God's Playbook.

2 Timothy 2:15  Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.  Now that you are in position and are not worried about your condition and walking this thing out by faith and not by sight--open up God's playbook.  Many people are living life outside of God's design--outside of His plan for them because they haven't taken time to read His playbook, the Bible.  That is what is to help us win this game of life.  I don't know about you, but I am a big sports fan, the Steelers is my team!  Often while they are playing I will call out, open up the playbook!  Jeremiah 29:11 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.  Every day that we wake up, we need to read God's playbook.  Like a member of fiveamprayer who has a group and they stand on no Bible, no breakfast!  We make time for everything else, why not the most important thing, He that created and redeemed you?!  Get into God's playbook, find out His plans for you.  This playbook is not like the guarded secrets of the professional teams, this is a book that was dictated by God unto man and is a written record for generations to be able to study to show themselves approved.  That we would have a written record, and account of the Son of Man when He walked the Earth for the first time in the flesh.  That we would be able to rehearse these words, to be increased in faith, that we would prosper and have our way made successful.  It is even said to be a love letter to us, directly from the Father, as He keeps reaching to us in His perfect love.  Thank You Lord for your reaching out to us, that You are looking for us!  Fiveamprayer will you get into position to be found?  How can you win the game if you don't know the play?  The coach can not direct you if you are not at practice nor studying the playbook.  When the time comes you have gotta know that the play is called out what it is that you are to do!  After meeting up in the huddle, which for believers would be like gathering together in prayer and the best play is figured out, the quarterback may call out Isaiah 54:17, you don't want to be out of position!  Or if the QB calls out Psalms 23:4, that is where you need to be!  Standing on that word and being in position for that play.  We are looking to Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith and in this illustration, He is the quarterback.  We just have to be studied up and ready to move when He calls out the plays.  How would you know the plays if you don't study God's playbook?  This is not a secret, He wants you to read it so that you know what to do.  You can't have players on the field who don't know the plays messing things up for the rest of the team!  So that you are not benched--study your playbook, that you are not found lacking, a skilled workman is not found ashamed.  A plan is a list of steps, with timing and resources used to accomplish a specific purpose. What does that mean?  You are not here on Earth by accident.  There is a plan and purpose for you.  God has a greater purpose for your life.  That will bring about a greater fulfillment in your life.  Especially when you do all that you have been created, purposed, designed or made with a specific function and given a mind to do.  Think about it, your purpose ultimately starts with God.  Because He is is the one who created us.  The Creator know the purpose of the thing that which He has created.  In God's playbook, the Bible tell us that He knows the plans that He has for us. Colossians 1:16(NLT) for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see—such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him.  Your ultimate purpose is fellowship with God.  Because you need to be connected to Him and so God can be glorified.  Your life should be a reflection of the time spent in relationship with Him.  Only then will God begin to show you other parts of your purpose.  Purpose, does not start with a selfishly but with the One who created you.  God's playbook, the Bible tells us that His plans are to purpose us not to harm us!  Isn't that wonderful?!  That is the kind of God that we serve!  He wants to prosper us and not bring us harm.  So then what are we waiting for?!  Grab the playbook and read God's plan for your life!  3 John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.  Here is the principle, if you prosper inwardly, you will also prosper outwardly.  Prosper and be in good health even as you soul prospers!  So that you are blessed on the inside as well as the outside.  It is time to see, review and read the God's playbook.  God's playbook, the Bible gives us hope for our future.  Hope is what you need  to handle what you are going though in the present.  Because of hope, I know that the things are going to get better.  God's playbook, the Bible tells us in Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.   So even if right now what I see doesn't look good in the natural, I can trust that God has it already worked out.  Take a look in the playbook, the Bible, it is all in there.  God is not surprised, He is not running in the back in a panic, well, I did not consider that.  He is prepared and can not be depleted--for what ever you need, He has it already available before you an even ask for it!  When we take the time out to read and meditate on His word, reviewing the playbook then we are prepared for what we will be dealing with.  Do you think that the team does not review the playbook before going out on the field, so how can you walk out your door and not even bother to open up your Bible for a word to stand on through out the day?!  And that would only be start, we are to study to show ourselves approved!  The focus on the word study seems like there will be a test, will you be prepared?  Our quarterback, Jesus is letting us know that more than anything else we need the word, that is why we must read and study to have the word inside us.  Like the psalmist says I will hide Your word in my heart that I may not sin against You!  How would the word get into your heart if you are not reading God's playbook?  The Lord will work all things together for our good.  We need that word to be able to stand when our flesh would not stand there and take that.  We are strengthened by our study in the word.  That way we know what play to make of it we need to alter the play.  In order to maintain and have victory everyday we must spend time reading God's playbook.  Do you know His plan for you?  Open up the playbook.  Not only know the plans He has for you, make ready to walk in what He has purposed for you to do.  As God told Joshua after the death of Moses, 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.
I don't know about you but all weekend long, you are gonna need to open up God's playbook!  Get in the word of God and stay in position, not being worried about your condition.  Stay in the race.  This race is not given to the swift but to those that endure until the end!  Run the race, fiveamprayer, run on to see what the end is gonna be!  The steps of the righteous are ordered by the Lord.  He has gone before us to make the crooked places straight.  Open up your playbook and learn more of who God is!  We are to meditate on His word day and night.  While the enemy is seeking who he may devour, you are in study of God's playbook to be able to stand and fight him with the weapons that God has given you!  We are more than conquers, more that overcomers!  Open up the playbook, we have to know what is going on right now--in this time and season!  He is giving us the keys to life, relationships and marriages--open the playbook to know the plans that He has for you.  To prosper us as our soul prospers!  He is our Shepherd, we shall not want!  He did it for Israel and He is not a respecter of persons!  Trust in God to bring you out!  Focus on being in position, not on your condition!  Study to show yourself approved, be grounded in His word.  There are many false prophets going around nowadays.  God will tell you what is true, when you get into His playbook.  His word does not come back void nor can it be reversed!  We have been given spiritual weapons, not weapons in the carnal!  We have to know His word and meditate on it day and night.  Be in a position of constantly seeking Him!  Be in the word of God, like a tree that is planted near rivers of water--that you don't wither and whatever you do prospers!  Open up God's playbook!  We have already been given dominion, the devil is under our feet!  We have to know God's word for ourselves!  How would it look for the football players to have to ask each other which play is the quarterback calling out?  Is there time to explain or should you already know--it is game time!  We have to make ready, to be ready at all times!    Stop waiting around for someone else to give you a word, go and seek out God's word for yourself.  God is waiting to speak to you.  Everyone on this line could read the same scripture for themselves and get something different out of it. God is speaking to us but if we won't open the Bible to listen to His word, that we are reading--how else could you get the message to be on the inside?  How else will you know what He wants us to do?  This is God's plan and His system.  You can try every other way but you will lack success and prosperity.  Get in to God's playbook, this is about your soul salvation, we can read the Bible anytime not only for Sundays or at Bible study.  God wants us to have a daily appointment, like it was back in the garden, when He came in the cool of the day for a daily walk and chat.  We need to be so much in the word of God that is our only response to every situation.  His playbook covers every situation that has come up or will come up.  Fiveamprayer be wrapped up, tangled in and totally intertwined in Him!  Walk this out with blind trust in your heavenly Father!  How can you know God's word if you won't study it?  O taste and see that the Lord is good.  Jeremiah 15:16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.  He is the maker of the way out of no way!  He brought you this far by faith!  So you can speak to those storms.  You have got to stay in the word.  All weekend, take timeout and get into God's playbook.  Our all knowing, loving and longsuffering God is beckoning us closer to Him through His word.  Because He so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son!  Can't you give Him sometime in the word, that He can pour into you in preparation for what you are about to face?   For that which you are ready and equipped and He already knows is coming?  God knows you can handle this with preparation and study of His word.  That you are in such study that you are aware when someone just brings, any old word.  Be in position and suited up and meditating on the word of God as you sit on the bench, ready to get into position when it is time to make that shift as God directs.  Are you wearing the whole armor of God, are you suited up for battle?  Have you gotten your mind ready for battle, with study of His word?  Trust God, He will always bring us out!  We have a offense and defence--with God we never loose!  We are made victorious through Christ Jesus!  Look to God's playbook, that is where we find out resolution.  The battle is not ours it is the Lord's.  Position yourself in the word of God.  Get a scripture that you can stand on.  Like Numbers 23:19.  Open it up and don't be worried about condition while you are holding God's playbook, it is full of all kinds of solutions for everything!  Stand on His word, He is bringing us through and out.  He is an on time God!  When is the last time that you just spent time in the word of God?  It is His word that will bring you out and through!  That is what we need in this season, more and more of Him!  Thank You God for this word.  Hear what the Spirit of the Lord is speaking!  He is telling us to study to show ourselves approved.  God is making the unseen, clearly seen--that is is no longer a mystery!  Walk through the book of Revelation, do not be afraid to be in the word of God!  Let God pour Himself into you.  Get into the word to learn about your marriage, children, finances, singleness, healing--it is all covered in God's playbook.  We come to repent Lord for not making and spending time in Your word.  We find time for so many other things.  We really want more of You and less of us!  That we could walk so close with you that we would walk right into heaven like Enoch did, who was here and then was not.  Open up God's playbook to see how much He loves us, how He washes us with His blood.  We come to humble ourselves and seek His face.  No more distance from God, we are drawing nigh to You that You would draw nigh to us!  That you would make that change in your work schedule and keep scheduling everything that you squeezed out the time that you had for God.  Be careful, don't make other things your god.  That is why America is going through so much, with prayer out off the schools and the people turned away.   Stop putting everything else first!  He wants our first fruits!   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 calling us to relationship with Him.  Genesis 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.  He is seeking us, we must be seeking Him.  Come to God, just as you are, He will clean you up.  You are not able to make the corrections, only He can do it.  God is so great that He can use us just as we are.  We come to repent for wandering around, we want to be in relationship with you.  We must examine ourselves and get back into alignment.  We love you Lord and we thank You for forgiving us!  That You would look beyond our faults and see our needs.  Thank You for not giving up on us!  Nobody could do us like Jesus!  Even when we searched the whole world, we could not find nobody, quite like Him!  Let us draw nearer to Him, He will draw nigh to us.  He is looking for relationship not just a panic call when we are in crisis.  That we can only seek Him in the midst of the storm.  You have forgotten your first love, go back to the old landmark and tarry at the alter and when you did not have the words you would moan.  We have to get back into relationship with Him.  Go back to when you first found Him.  We come to repent this morning, Lord.  We have been giving you our leftovers.  We had forgotten about You.  That we are just going about and picking You up when we get ready.  Where is your word, fiveamprayer?!  We have an anchor for our souls, the Rock of Ages but we keep passing Him by.  God is coming back for a church, we are the church.  We are to spend time in the word.  That we make time for Him and Him alone.  We can give so much time to watching tv or reading a novel but not in time of study of His word.  Don't just seek Him at 5am and not other time in the day!  You can search for the word on the computer and on your smartphone.  There is no excuse.  Make time and seek His word--we are to meditate on His word day and night.  We repent, Lord, we are going back to our first love.  You never forget your first love, but you forgot about God.  If you had remembered your first love, than you would not be focused on your condition.  This is personal, it is me oh Lord standing in the need of prayer!  Make time to read, on yesterday God told us, but many of us did something else.  Open up His playbook and find grace, favor and mercy.  We have to know Him each for ourselves.  Thank You for new mercies that we can get it together.  We repent and we will study and pick up His word.  We want more of you, a relationship.  We want to hide Your words in our hearts that we may not sin against You.  Thank You God, thank You Holy Spirit for letting us know we have forgotten about You.  We must remember!  As God told Joshua to take 12 stones from the river Jordan so that the children of Israel would remember their crossing over.  God has bringing us out--healing us, delivering us, keeping our children.  Take a look back over your life and see that it was nobody but God.  He comes to heal the brokenhearted and to set the captives free.  That is how God puts us together.  He is drawing us closer to Him.  Remember your first love!  We thank You Lord!  Remember how He gave you peace and joy.  Remember, He did it for you!  That now we can just sit in His presence.  O taste and see that the Lord is good!  Nobody but Jesus could do it!  Thank You Lord!  I remember Lord, when I had lost everything, when it was late in the midnight hour and You kept me!  When no one else could or would help.  Take this weekend  to get into His word and remember.  God is crying out to us, that if His people would humble themselves and pray that we would stop forgetting about Him.  With God being taken out of school and so many other places, when He sent His Son to die for us.  That which He did to redeem us, that is how He loves!  That is how important it is to Him that we are redeemed unto Him.  Stop beating up on yourself, He has already forgiven you.  He wants you to remember Him.  To give Him thanks for all that He had done.  Because we could not do anything without Him!  Never forget that you should have been dead, were dead until He came and saved us!  That His light shined on us and our eyes were opened to the truth.  In the garden their eyes were open to see the worldly things that the focus was not automatic to the things of God.  With us being washed in the blood of Jesus we are now in position to see and walk in the things of God!  We must never forget that He has set us free!  Thank the Lord and give Him praise!!  Thank You God!  Jesus, I'll never forget what You have done for me!  I will stop being so worried about everything else and get in position of focus on You!

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:   I will never forget God, what You have done for me!  You have been for me and never left me!  Never allow anything separate me from the love of God!

Welcome to the overflow...
Draw nigh to Him and He will draw nigh to you!  Don't you feel Him wrapping His arms around you?  Draw us nearer to You, Lord.  Thank You Jesus!  Hallelujah Lord!  There is such a sweet rest--thank You Jesus.  What a sweet anointing flowing through the atmosphere.  Rest in it, He is calling us unto Him to get rest.  Are you burdened or heavily laden?  Christ gives us rest.  Come to Him and He will give you rest.  Send us Your word God that we can be in Your word all weekend long!  Have a blessed day and supernatural weekend.  Thank You Lord!

Position Versus Condition.

2 Chronicles 20:17; Ephesians 1:5-6; Romans 8:31; 1 Corinthians 4:1-4; Jeremiah 1:12; Hebrews 6:13;  James 1:17; Luke 12:32; Matthew 13:29-30; Matthew 18:18; Proverbs 10:22; Matthew 6:20-22; John 12:32; John 10:27

We are walking in today:  Position Versus Condition.

2 Chronicles 20:17 Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.  We must keep our position in the going through. Sometimes in the going through we will look at our condition.  I know we ask the question why down?  Sometimes it seems like everything is going down, falling down, everywhere you turn around--you are going down.  We need to pause here and consider just why the growing Christian is taken down into defeat and despair in order to be brought up into maturity and fruitfulness. The hard fact is that the growing believer's formative years are predominately backward and downward, rather than forward and upward. There is far more of Romans 7 defeat than there are of Romans 8 victory.  Fiveamprayer we have to keep our position in the going through.  The way up is down.  Your Father first teaches us about your old sinful self, before you are taught about your new righteous self.  The greater part of your early training consists of learning to recognize your sinful Adam nature for what it is--totally self-centered and at enmity with God.  The first aspect that we are to consider is that of acceptance.  Your acceptance with God in the Lord, Jesus Christ.  Like every thing else in your Christian life, your acceptance by God is of grace.  Ephesians 1:5-6 5) Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6) To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.   Could anything be more complete and eternal?  To the extent that the Father accepts His beloved Son, He accepts you, in Him.  You can forever thank Him that your acceptance does not depend upon what you are in yourself!  If you judge God's attitude toward you according to your day to day condition, you are never going to be absolutely sure that He fully accepts you--if at all.  When everything is going well and you are happy in the Lord, you are likely to conclude I am pleasing to God.  Therefore He loves me and accepts me--but when He has to take you down into failure or through trials or into the desert as an important part of your spiritual development then you are apt to feel, I must be displeasing to God.  He doesn't seem to love me or accept me any longer.  With God, position is everything!  Especially when it comes to acceptance in His Son, He wants that to be everything in your estimation.  Of course God is concerned about your present state, He expects you to be also--but your acceptance is not based upon your condition.  The enemy wants your condition to change your position.  But you have got to stand in position, no matter what the condition is.  Because God will tell you this morning, don't look at the condition of the battle, but hold your position!  Just like in the text this morning God told them to hold their position--they would not need to fight in this battle!  Fiveamprayer, position yourself.  Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord! 
Anybody in a place this morning?  A place where you are getting ready to make a change of position because of your condition?  God comes to tell you to be still and know that He is God!  The battle is not yours, it is the Lord's!  Don't move out of position while God is blessing you!  Don't let your condition have you to change your position.  He knows the plans that He has for you!  He knows the thoughts that He thinks towards you.  We can tell the devil, that we won't fret nor be dismayed.  We are holding our position, not looking at our condition.  We are walking this out by faith and not by sight!  The children of Israel walked right up to the Red Sea and crossed over on dry ground.  Like the woman with the issue of blood who pressed and reached out to touch His garment and was made whole.  Ask Job who lost everything and got back a thousand-fold return.  He is always there, right on time!  Hold your position, be steadfast, unmovable!  Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?  Fiveamprayer, stay your position!  Hold, where He has placed you!  1 Corinthians 4:1-4 1) Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2) Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. 3) But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. 4) For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.  We should be in our battlefield positions, on our knees in prayer!  We are to pray and not faint.  We are to pray without ceasing.  Hold your position, not looking to the world.  We are trusting in Jehovah Jireh--we know that we are blessed and highly favored.  Stop looking at your condition, speak to the storms--be still right now and know that He is God!  Hold your position!  Stand on His word!  What did God say?!  He is the God of reconciliation, stand on this in your marriage!  He works all things together for our good!  What is your position, fiveamprayer?  Are you standing on, greater is He that is with in me, than he that is within this world?  What is your position?  After doing all to stand, are you still standing therefore?!  Are you standing on the Lord is my Shepherd and I shall not want!  Hold your position!  He is a very present help in a time of trouble!  Don't worry nor fret!  He is the same yesterday, today and forever more!  Even if we are to walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil for our God is with us!  He will never leave nor forsake us!  When the enemy comes in like a flood, God will lift up a standard against him!  We have to be in position, standing on and holding to the word of God--Jeremiah 1:12 Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.  Stop looking at your condition, be in position!  We are called to stand on the promises of God!  That we would say, though He slay me, yet will I trust Him!  That we will stay in position saying, now our will, Thy will be done!  We must stand still and see the salvation of the Lord!  Hold your position!  Get on your knees and cry out, this battle is not mine it is the Lord's!  Hold your position with your children and your finances--the battle is not yours it is the Lord's!  Stand still and watch the Lord move!  Not my will, Thy will be done!  We are standing in position, not moved by our condition.  We must be in position of focused intention or action.  Like if you plan and execute to go to the coffee shop every day regardless if it is raining or the sun is shining.  That no matter what would try to stop you, you keep moving in the same direction that leads to your end goal.  On the way there you don't change direction and head to a furniture store because it is snowing.  That is not your end goal.  Your intention and plan of action was to go to the coffee shop.  Will we be found in position or moved by our condition?  It is like when you see a young child playing with a favorite toy that they will seek it out no matter how well it is hidden or put away.  This pursuit is not reduced based on the condition of the toy, if it is falling apart, or missing a limb, that child will seek it out!  While remaining focused and turning over and looking through every thing that they can grasp.  They will continue to search that which they won't do without.  When that search is not successful, they will seek out help from others to locate that which they desire.  No matter how long it takes or what other toys are presented, they are not swayed to take a substitute.  That the temporary condition of the favorite toy not being available, can only be settled by the appearance of that particular toy.  We must be in hot pursuit, hot on the trail--to be in position to where God has called us, shown us and spoken to us.  There is nothing else that will do!  No other place to go.  The temporary changes can not be enough to make us reconsider our actions that are leading to our goal that God placed in our spirit.  That we can not be swayed with any other thing nor lead to distraction!  We can not be looking to our condition, where everything seems to be falling apart. We are told that we can not trust our natural vision, that is why we walk by faith.  And faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God!  Don't you know that God shows up in the broken pieces?  That He is the potter and we the clay, that He knows the end from the beginning and the beginning from the end?!  We have to stop looking at our condition, God is the provider not the money!  He will provide us a ram in the bush!  Stop saying I am going down, no I am going up!  Don't let the enemy disguise your season.  Don't move out of position!  God is the Way, the Truth and the Life!  Take a stand, no more falling for shadows and deceit--we are children of the light and will stand on His word!  Fiveamprayer, set your face like a flint!  We shall not be moved!  Keep holding your position--not concerned about your condition.  Look to God, He is giving us double for our trouble!  We have sown in the land and God is giving us the former and the latter rain!  Our God is more than able!  Thank You God!  We were getting caught up in the condition, the temporary situation--hold on the the true and everlasting word of God!  This word does not come back void, nor can it be reversed.  This word is backed by the Creator of the universe, there is no higher security or backing than that!  No higher power or authority to appeal to!  Hebrews 6:13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself.  James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.  Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.  Hold your position, God is the Way, the Truth and the Life!  Take a stand, and stand on His word!  No more of trying to get out of position, out of line with the word of God.  We must be obedient to His word.  Stand, not being moved by your condition.  Everybody can't go with you in this season.  Maybe we can get together in this next season.  God will set you apart for His purpose.  Matthew 13:29-30 29) But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30) Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.  Hold your position, be steadfast, unmovable, always abiding in the word of God!  We will hold our position!  Even when the storm clouds roll in, we will stay in position! While the winds are blowing, we remain steadfast!  Praise Him in the midst of it all!  He is always good and worthy of all of our praise!  Will you hold your praise position in the face of your condition?!  Holding out and remaining in position will out last your condition!   Fiveamprayer, hold your position!  Take your eyes off of the condition and put them back on Him!  He is the Author and Finisher of our faith!  We need to lay out on our faces and repent for being caught up in our condition!  Our response should be I need Thee, every hour I need Thee!  Lay aside every weight that would so easily beset us!  Call out to Him, I need Thee, every hour I need Thee!  Come on in just as you are, only the Father can get you clean!  Come unto to Him!  We have got to know that we need Him every second of every minute and every minute of every hour and every hour of every day and every day of every month and every month of every year and every year of every decade!  There is never a time that we don't need Him!  So always and forever we need, require, and inquire of and for You!  Lord, Jesus keep us!  No one can do it but You!  That need that we have is only sated by You, Lord!  All substitutes fail and do not give peace nor can they restore what we must have!  Which is more and more of You!  To make our abode in Your presence!  That our address be God Way at the intersection of God Court!  That there is no more going in and then coming out.  That we are in and remain in position in spite of, regardless of our temporary condition.  That we run to Him, no more calling everyone else.  That we know and trust that His grace is sufficient.  That it is He that gives us His unmerited favor!  Favor in our marriages with our children--that a way has ready been made for us, but will we be in position to arrive at our desired destination?!  God told us that late in the midnight hour, that He is gonna turn it around. That weeping may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning!  Hold on His grace is sufficient!  Position yourself!  Get out of moving due to your condition.  Actually your condition should cause you to be in position before the Father at His feet.  Are you speaking and seeking the solution or the problem?!  The more time you spend on the condition, does it actually change or improve?  Or could it be a distraction for the time is coming that your position will have you in place for a blessing?    Tell the devil, I stand on the word of God--Matthew 18:18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.  In the name of Jesus we come to bind you, devil that what ever is bound in the Earth is also bound in heaven.  We come to stand on God's word, that no weapon that is formed against us shall ever prosper!  That is our position, we are walking in that scripture as we go out the door and all throughout the day today.  Take your position in the word of God!  He knows the plans that He has for each and every one of us!  Stand on that!  What is your position?  Well stand on it!  Thank You Father for this word! 

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:   Having done all to stand--stand therefore, fiveamprayer!

Welcome to the overflow...
 Like it is often the case during election time, they want to question the candidates to see what their position is on crucial  issues.  God is posing us the same questions this morning.  Will we hold our position, standing on His word or get impatient and try to work this thing out in the flesh.  Will we try to see what work our hands can wrought or will we await our Father's perfect timing?   Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.  Oh, so is that why there are so many that have illusions of wealth but are overwhelmed by sorrow--wealth that was wrought by their hands?  Matthew 6:20-22 20) But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21) For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22) The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.  For us to really remain in position we have to have a singular focus--standing steadfast, unmovable on the word of God!  We must cast off all the lies of the devil, he is still a liar.  There is no need to revisit that again!  Focus and be in position that you are heading to where God told you to go.  Let us cast down every imagination that would exalt itself against the high knowledge of God!  That should be our position, casting down lies to uplift the truth!   The truth that remains shining even in the darkest night.  The truth that under further investigation only reveals more and more truth!  That truth that is life redeeming, sin covering, captive liberating, truth giver who had us walk in--John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.  His name is Councilor, Messiah, Jesus Christ, Emmanuel, Rose of Sharon, Son of Man!  We are to stand after doing all, to stand therefore!  You know that a praying wife can save her husband.  That husbands are called to love their wives as Christ loves the church.  We are to pray without ceasing!  The enemy will try to get into your ear, we are to listen to one voice only--John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.  God had taught us to hear His voice. We rebuke the enemy in the name of Jesus! Take your positions, on your knees in prayer! God gave us spiritual weapons of mass destruction! Keep standing on the word of God! With God for us, who an stand against us?! No matter what on your job, hold your position. With your children, hold your position! In your marriage, hold your position! We must be in His word daily to have a renewed mind, we have to use the weapon the He gave us. We are loaded down daily with benefits! We can't wait until Sunday or Wednesday, we serve a 24/7 God and in this battle we can not take time off nor be distracted. Stay ready and always alert! Call on God all day every day! And all night, every night! Don't stop praising His name! Hallelujah God! Who the Son sets free is free indeed! Keep standing on His word! Jesus took back the keys and lead captivity captive. Load up on the word of God and unload it on the devil, he is a liar and is under our feet! The enemy is trying to come into our minds, we bind you in the name of Jesus! We will speak the word of God that He gave us! We have dominion! We have got to know who we are and who's we are! That condition tried to take us out, but we are holding on to our position! We will walk this out by the word of God, while leaning on His everlasting arms! Have we come this far and prayed this long to give up now?! No! Get up and fight another day, we are soldiers in the army of the Lord. Thank You God! Through it all we will remain in position, not effected by our condition! Hold your position, do not loose ground now! We are to advance and move forward, God is calling us to come in an take over that which He has promised us! Stand in position--that is where God is pouring out and blessing us, that yolks are broken, and chains falling off because you are is standing on the word of God. No longer a let's try and see but a full commitment to standing on His word! This is walking by faith, without a safety net--the only thing to catch us is God's hand. Some would say no other interventions but better said, no interruptions! God knows all and has this already done and finished. He knows our end result and there is nothing too hard for Him. What better place to have our trust and faith?! For every tear that falls from your eyes, hold your position! For every fond memory, hold your position! For every shadow of doubt, hold your position! For all that is spoken against you, hold your position! You have made the right decision, let God work it out. Hold your position, God said it, hold your position! Don't got back and second guess, take your eyes off of the condition, it won't look good to you in the natural. But our trust is not in the natural it is in God who is a spirit and is working all things together for our good! Be still and know that He is God! Walk in this word today! Have a blessed day! Hallelujah God! Position versus condition. The devil is still a liar, he thought that he had us! We give you all the honor and glory Lord! Amen!

Philippians 4:6-7 6) Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7) And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:

Thank you Deacon Troy for your faithfulness and obedience--that you are always at the ready. 2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.  We have to get this together, that we are not constantly seeking only our needs but that we go into the prayer closet to spend time with God.  To rest in His presence.  To inquire of Him what He would have us to do.  How can we know what He is speaking if we are not being still to listen to the Master who knows how much we can bear?  Thank You Lord for a time of prayer to be in Your presence.  Thank You Lord for giving us time back to go into our prayer closet to cover our marriages, children and for yourself. Thank You God for sending us this word, by way of Deacon Troy.  Fill him back up, replenish and restore him for his obedience.  No matter how we feel we get up early seeking a word from You. We know that if two or three gather together, You will be in the mist.  You told us that if two would touch and agree, that it shall be done.  Thank You Lord!  If we ask and believe then we shall receive it. 

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:  All things come by prayer and supplication!

Fiveamprayer let us carry everything to God in prayer!  Take time out this morning to lay out on your face to seek Him.  He opened up the windows on yesterday, it rained here in Colorado.  God sent us the former and latter rain  to water the seed that we have sown.  The rain fell in the spirit before it was manifest in the natural.  It is already done in the spirit, walk in it is already done!  Don't let the devil plant seeds of doubt, he is still a liar!  We bind him up right now!  Thank You for leading us to pray without ceasing, to pray and not faint.  Let us continue on in prayer!  We wish Mr. Brown a happy birthday!  Have a awesome and blessed day!  Hallelujah God!  Amen!

Through It All.

Romans 5:3-4; Psalms 23:4; Philippians 4:13; Psalms 37:25; Genesis 13:17; Psalm 37:25; Hebrews 11:1; James 1:17; 1 Samuel 2:7; James 4:10; Psalm 3:3; 1 Peter 4:12; Psalms 23:4

We are walking in today:  Through It All.

Romans 5:3-4 3) And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4) And patience, experience; and experience, hope.  Wow God!  Through it all! What would you do without the going through?!  We have learned the glory of God through our suffering.  We have become the definition of perseverance--steady, persistence in a course of action, a purpose or state etc, especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles or discouragement.  Sounds like through it all to me.  It has built our character, giving us new found hope to pursue and takeover!  Can somebody shout through it all, this morning?!  We must get to a point in this walk when we can say, Lord, I thank You for the going through.  The word through is defined as, in one side and out the other, opposite side, in the midst of it.  Psalms 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.  Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.  Psalms 37:25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.  Through it all!  Genesis 13:17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.  In this season, as Apostle Ryan Fontenot said on Saturday during the prayer conference, your blessing is in your movement!  We must pay close attention to the shift.  We are to move when God says that it is time.  We receive wisdom, knowledge and understanding-through it all!  I have learned everyone that works with you, are not truly for you!  1 John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.  That's the word of God!  This is how you know that everybody that is walking with you is not truly for you!  Stop trying to hold on to people that are not of us!  Begin to thank God for the manifestation of them--not being for us.  Let go of the dead weight in your life and praise God!  The blessing is in your letting them go.  Guess what, if you don't let them go, God will remove them anyway.  Somebody shout out, through it all!  God will teach us obedience, in the through.  Somebody shout, through it all!  I have learned to trust Him, to place my hope only in Him, to give Him the glory, to seek His face, to pursue and takeover!  I have learned  that there is no god above our God!  He is God--through it all!  Through the tests, trials, tribulations and tears I know that God is always for me!  He will never leave nor forsake me!God always is for us, even when we walk through the valley of the shadow of death we don't have to fear evil!  Psalm 37:25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.  Through it all, no job, no income, no shelter, God is always with us!  Thank You Lord for Your grace and Your mercy.  Even with your children out of control and your back against the wall, God is there with you, in the going through.  We know that our God is able!  Anybody been through?!  He has been there through it all--even with all of the hell that we have been through.  God is with is through it all.  With finances out of control, God is bringing you through, hold on a little while longer.  You may loose stuff and people in the going through, that which can not go with you to the other side.  Even if you loose friends, we know that there is not a friend like the lowly Jesus!  We cry out to Him in the going through.  That is where we learn to be still and know that He is God!  Through it all!  Through the valley of the shadow of death, in that wilderness--there He finds out our character.  Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  Fiveamprayer, are you walking by faith or by sight?!  In your marriage we know that a praying wife can save her husband.  And that husbands are to love their wives as Christ loves the church giving His very life for it.  We are to get the goods, because we gave Him the glory!    We learn to praise Him at all times, that His praises are continually in our mouths!  Through it all!  Yea, though He slays me yet will I trust Him!  Through it all!  We are in the fire, but we are going in, to go through.  We know that there is a fourth man in the fire with us.  We will come out not even smelling of smoke!  Through it all, our situation seemed dead, but God!  Jesus revived, restored, renewed and refreshed us!  We know that life and death are in the power of the tongue.  We can bind the devil with our words, through it all!  Look to God He will give you a 1,000 fold return!  Ask Job about it!  There are some of us saying that we have lost everything, know this that God is right there with us.  We are never alone nor forsaken!  He has gone before us and made the crooked places straight!  He is a keeper and fiveamprayer, He is keeping us!  Sometimes He will hide us through it all!  Other times He walks beside us in the going through.  That is how many of us learned to call on Him--in the going through.  That we would fall on our knees and seek Him and talk to Him.  That we would tell Him all about our troubles.  Our seeking Him out shows that we expect to hear and see Him move in our situation. That we have full confidence in His ability in our situation.  That we are not coming to Him as a last resort after trying and failing with everything and everyone else.  Most people are not looking for the person who will give them inferior answers and help--no not those who have come to recognize the high quality of a His presence, and will not do without it!  That is what the going through reveals for us, that we no longer seek out or settle for the band-aid, but seek out true and real healing that the end result of the thing is better than when it started off, not something that is barely holding together and still in need of repair once the "fix" is done!  Thank You God that You are more than able to meet and exceed every need!  That we can truly trust our Father to take care of us and allow room and situations for us to grow and gain strength.  We have got to get this one!  Even in the going through, God gives us the victory!  For every tear there is restored joy, it is all worth it all.  Through it all!  We see who God is and always was!  He knows the plans that He has for us!  He knew us before we were shaped in our mother's womb.  Fiveamprayer, what God has for you it is for you!  This is not something to be doubtful about--you know and have seen too much for that to sway you!  He has been there for us through it all!  That we walk this out like Jabez, oh that You would bless us indeed!   Anyway you wanna bless us Lord, we will take it!  James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.  Look at the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation all of the going through to get to the end result that He knew from the very beginning.  That He would speak let there be and it was.  Let us truly learn how to call on the God of Israel.    That we learn to be like Jacob--I won't let go until You bless me!  You may bend but you will not break, there is nothing beyond the Masters' vision or repair!  Through it all!  This is a divine destiny connection, God has set you up for success.  Won't you just walk it out?!  He is with you thorough it all!  People often say I'm going through, but what we have to know is that we can depend on Jesus!  There is no one like Him, who can walk with you and strengthen you in the going through?!  You can depend on Jesus!  Don't stop seeking Him once you are through, and on to the other side!  He ought to be something that we require and inquire at all times!  Keep praising Him, for He is always worthy of all the praise, honor and glory!  He is the lifter of our heads!  When everyone else around us would cast us down, His hand is reaching towards us to pick us up.  Thank You God!  1 Samuel 2:7 The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.  James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.  Psalm 3:3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.  Through it all!  The Lord is our Shepherd--we shall not want!  He promised to never leave us nor forsake us!  Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?  Get up and thank Him for the through!   How He kept you, through it all!  The suffering produces perseverance, which produces character and then hope.  Keep on pressing on, fiveamprayer!  Be like the woman with the issue of blood, that she pressed in to touch the hem of His garment.  Through it all, Lord You have been there!  We have to be in position when God shifts, you gotta shift!  He knows the plans that He has for you.  We have got to have an ear to hear all that God is speaking in this season!  God is speaking!  It is ours for the asking in this season.  God will give it to you, and He is doing this thing quick.  As soon as you speak, He is answering.  Pray to God and see for yourself that He is hastening to His word to perform it!  Thank Him for the going through!  With all that you have been through, you should not still be here--alive, in your right mind, walking around free!  Thank You God for intervening on our behalf when we did not even know how close to the edge we were!  Thank You, God for the going through!  I know that you can look back over your life and see when you said, I don't know how I am gonna get through this.  It makes your soul sit back and wonder how I got over!  The enemy tries to keep us caught up in the through.  Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers us out of the all!  Exalt Him in the name of Jesus!  God ain't done with me yet!  There is more to go through--you are going to higher levels in God.  1 Peter 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you.   He is making us stronger, better and wiser!  If you ain't been through anything, how can you encourage someone else?  In the going through, you get to watch God's hand move!  Those who have been betrayed--who have had a Judas in their camp, know that God is with you in the going through!  We come to lift up fiveamprayer this morning!  Thank You for the going through, Lord!  That we can have peace, love, joy, grace and mercy.  That You would pour out blessings on us that there is not room enough to receive them all!  We lift up prayer requests, have them to see You in the going through. That they are not alone, nor forsaken!  The devil is a liar--we are God's precious treasure, that He ransomed with His own blood!  He would not go through all of that to pay our sin debt, that we could never pay, and then not bring us through the going through!  The going through teaches us about weeping may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning!  Hallelujah!  That there is a line that weeping may not cross, that we can cross over into joy!  We come to repent, that we did not want to go through the going through.  Forgive us, Lord, You know what is best for us!  We will say, nevertheless, Thy will be done!  We are coming out of the fire, not smelling of smoke.   We are chosen in the fiery furnace of affliction.  Forgive us Lord, teach us how to keep walking in the going through.  That we give you praise and remain in prayer in the going though.  We start on one side but in the going though we come out another side.  Fiveamprayer, we are going to the other side!  Remain with God in the going through, He is in it with you!


We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:   Through it all!

Welcome to the overflow...Thank You God!  For every tear, we thank You God!  All the suffering has made us into the men and women of God, that You called us to be.  Some of our tears are from disobedience--let us forsake all and be obedient to the Lord!  Anybody been through, giving Him praise the whole way through?!  He is the Almighty, awesome Lord of us all!  That it is He that causes all things to work together for our good!  Glory to Your name!  Walk in this one today!  He is a keeper!  Hallelujah!  Have a supernatural blessed day!  We will have some through it all, testimonies on tomorrow!  Join us for Testimony Tuesday and hear how God is moving in the lives of believers!  Thank You Lord for the through!

Hosea 6:2-3 2) After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. 3) Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.  Fiveamprayer get your seed in the ground this weekend at the prayer conference.  God has promised to pour out His double portion anointing, the former and the latter anointing together after two days.  Joel 2:23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.  The former rain which is the Pentecost, was only poured out moderately this is the first fruits anointing the earnest, the down payment of our inheritance.  But God's prophetic word declares we will receive the early and latter rain together in the first month or at the beginning of the new day.  The Apostle James give us this same hope in James 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.  Our God has given us a harvest in the Earth.  He has had long patience for this harvest but it can not be harvest until it receives the early and latter rain that God has promised.  Those who enter the hundred-fold realm, the Holy of Holies will have their Father's name in their foreheads.  This is the seal of the Living God.  Revelation 7:2-3 2) And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 3) Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.  Those who enter into the veil enter, enter into another anointing.  Before Aaron the high priest could enter through the veil, Leviticus 8:12 And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed him, to sanctify him.  This was necessary for Aaron to receive another anointing before He could enter into the Holy of the Holies.  This is a double portion anointing.  The Holy of Holies is God's double portion realm.  The outer court there were two instruments of worship and the holy place we operate on the first fruit anointing which is the earnest or down payment of our inheritance in God.  But if we continue on through the holy place--the overcoming realm.  We will enter the Holy of Holies, the double portion realm.  In this section there were six instruments of worship.  The double portion anointing is the the anointing that Jesus received on the banks of the Jordan river.  God's word it is called the fullness of the Spirit, the Spirit without measure and the former and latter rain.  When we enter into the Holy of Holies--we come into double portion realm, sow your best seed tonight!  God has sent us a double portion the former and the latter rain.
That's why it is so important to get seed into the ground!  God is sending the former and the latter rain. That is why we must show up with our best seed!  He is sending His anointing like never before--healing and deliverance, the former and the latter rain.  The former which is moderate and the latter that is an outpouring.   God gives seed to the sower. We are to worship Him in spirit and in truth!  God, You said there will be a time that Your Spirit will fall on all flesh.  Anointing is in the house with healing, peace, joy and liberty.  Double portion, on Monday He told us it is time to sow your seed, all the while knowing that He would close out this week with a double portion of the former and latter rain!  He is sending us the rain, fiveamprayer!  That the Holy Spirit would fill us to the overflow.  He is showing up in a mighty and awesome way!  Lord, You are already there, overtake us let us follow You in the spirit, casting off our fleshly ways and thoughts!!  Fiveamprayer, let us give ourselves over to the Lord God Almighty, the King of Kings, Adonai Jehovah, Elohim, Emmanuel!   Get ready for the overflow blessings!!  Jesus told us that He came to give us life and that more abundantly.  That abundant life is found only in Him!  We are to press in and to make our abode with Him that we remain in a position of being nigh to Him.  That is the God that I am talking about, that all knowing God that is the only one who can do it!  Go to a different realm in Him and with Him!  They that seek after, hunger for and require Him--find, are filled and have Him!  Go into the Holy of Holies.  We have to know what God is doing in this weekend meditation and prayer conference--it is already done, it is already finished!  This is our time and season!  This is the time and season of the former and latter rain. Those who hunger shall be filled!  Thank You God for how You continue to show up here!  Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning!  The joy of the Lord is our strength!  He is sending the former and latter rain--the anointing of God!  Go past the veil and sit with me at the feet of Jesus.  We lift up prayer requests, have them to know that it is already done in the spirit!  We come to ask for forgiveness, we come to You, Lord casting or cares because You care for us.  Lord we repent for our sins against You.  We thank You for Your grace, unmerited favor. Teach us to forgive others and to walk this out in love.

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:   Double portion, the former and latter rain!

Welcome to the overflow...
 He will fill us to the overflow.  He is pouring out blessings on us, so much so that there will not be room enough to receive them all!  Send Your anointing Lord!  What a mighty God we serve!  He will anoint us again in this season!  He is doing it--miracles and the scales falling off of our eyes.  That we are truly walking with God in relationship!  We thank You God--if we had 10,000 tongues we could not thank You enough!  Thank You for sending the former and the latter rain, Father!  Lord, You just get gooder and gooder!  O taste and see that the Lord is good!  His mercies endures to all generations!  We are the seed of Abraham and God is sending us the former and latter rain!  He is sending us a double portion of joy, peace, grace, mercy, healing, power, authority and sight!  Thank You God for the double portion!  We have double, now we can pursue and takeover!  Fill us to the overflow, Lord with Your Spirit!  That is why we have to sow our best seed, because He is sending us the former and latter rain.  It is time to sow, the former and latter rain in coming!  We are going to another level in God! We are called to worship Him in spirit and in truth. We thank You Lord!  Hallelujah God!  What a mighty God we serve!  One can chase a thousand and two can chase ten thousand!  Thank You Lord for keeping us and bringing us out in victory!  Amen!

Understanding Season And Time.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8; Psalm 61:4; Proverbs 3:5-6

We are walking in today:  Understanding Season And Time.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 1) To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2) A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 3) A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4) A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5) A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6) A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7) A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8) A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.  On Monday, God had us to walk in, it is time to sow.  We must truly understand time and season.  Our lives revolve around time.  If I ask you what time it is, I have a pretty good idea what you would do, look at your watch and say that it is this time.  If you were enjoying what you were doing at the moment, you might exclaim, my how time flies!  If you weren't especially happy about what you were doing at the moment, your response would be--it is only noon?!  Time has been the theme of many ballads, like As Time Goes By.  A common excuse for many failures is, I didn't have the time.  Most of us check the time several times a day.  Or even several times a hour.  Sometimes we do it more often than we should, like when we are in church.  All of this, only goes to show us how involved we are with time.  The first phase of the text gives us the right perspective on time--to everything there is a season.  And a time, for every purpose under the heavens.  The two words here, season and time--implies direction and a point in time.  Because everything has a season, nothing at least on Earth lasts forever.  God has appointed a time for everything.  Seasons have a beginning and an end. They last but not too long.  In the life cycle there is a season for gestation, a season for a childhood and youth, a season for middle age and a season for old age, followed by death.  It is all quite natural, all ordained by God.  The word translated as time means a point in time. Within any given season, there is a point in time which God has ordained every thing to happen.  So seasons means, a period of time and time means a point of time.  Solomon's thesis is this, every activity of mankind has a proper time and a predetermined duration.  Our lives would be a lot less stressful, if we recognized that the omnipotent hand of God has appointed us time when things are to be done and He has predetermined the duration for those things to last.  Everyone goes through good times and bad times. Together they make up the seasons of your life.  It is not the time of your life that shapes us, but the seasons.  Make sure you don't live only  for the good times, when the bad times come and they will come, you won't have the strength to handle them.  Make sure you don't let the bad times defeat you.  If you do so, you'll miss out on the good times, God still has more in store for you.  It takes both to make a life.  Make certain your attitude towards life is such that even if you can't enjoy all of the time but you do enjoy the seasons!  Praise God that neither good times nor bad times last!  Only eternity does!  Understanding the time and the seasons!  Amen!
I don't know about you but I am excited, this is our time and our season!  We have been made overcomers and He has caused all grace to abound towards us!  Fiveamprayer, get up and say, "this is my time.  This is my season!  We shall arise and pursue and takeover!  It is harvest time!  We have sown in the land and we have to understand the time and the season!  Don't miss God!  Anybody in a point in time, looking for breakthrough, healing, reconciliation in your marriage?  God is telling me to tell you, this is your season!  Don't miss God!  Your season doesn't last forever. There is a time to kill a time to heal, a time for peace, a time for war.  We have to know our season.  He has an appointment for you!  Fiveamprayer, understand your season and your time.  This is our set time for favor!  His grace is sufficient. Tell yourself this is my point in time.  My season for the takeover!  God is speaking to us, like never before in this season.  Don't miss God with what is going on in your life.  You have been set up by God!  He will open a window and pour our blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it all!  The Lord is our Shepherd and we shall not want!  His mercy and grace endure forever!  He has promised to never leave nor forsake us!  You got all hell breaking loose but you have peace.  Resting in His joy unspeakable.  It is your season, it is your point in time.  The gates of hell shall nor prevail against it!  Weeping may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning!  The joy of the Lord is our strength!  His strength is made perfect in our weakness.  It is your time and season.  Walk into your season!  God is telling us our appointed time for favor is now!  His grace is sufficient!  It is your time and your season!  The best is yet to come!  Walk into your season!  We are to pursue and takeover!  He has favored us!  It is a set up, by God!  Not by power, nor by mighty but by His Spirit!  We have been set up by God!  You told us that there will be a time that the Spirit of the Lord will fall on all flesh!  Thank You God for this appointed time, September 22, 2012, that we will pursue and takeover!  This is our time and our season!  They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up on wings like an eagle, they shall run and not faint they shall run and not be weary!  This is our time!  This is our season!  We shall reap the harvest if we faint not!  This is my season!  This is my time!  Because I held on!  We must be committed to it and I am in it to win it!  This is my time and my season!  I have been set up by God!  Nobody gets the glory but God!  Even though it looks like there is a famine in the land, I sowed, like Isaac did and will get a hundred-fold return!  Lord, You said when I go, I shall not go empty!  This is our season of being abundantly blessed by God!  Thank You Lord!  This is our season, this is out point in time!  He created us for this time and season!  You waited for 15 years to speak a word from God.  Sometimes He will hide you for a while--Psalm 61:4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.  This is your time and season.  You got to realize it!  The enemy is trying to keep you distracted, in your season.  If you really knew what time it is, you would walk in that authority that God has given you!  No longer would you be sitting there waiting, but you would be in motion.  God will hasten to His word to preform it!  The race is not given to the swift, but to he that endures until the end.  We gotta run with God and don't miss your season!  Do you understand?  We have to know our season and our time--our point in time!  Take a hold of what season you are in!  Tell God, if this is my season and point in time, I will walk this out as You say, Lord.  We have to walk in our season--by faith and not by sight!  Proverbs 3:5-6 5) Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6) In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.   We know that the steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord.  Fiveamprayer, walk into your season!  It is time to pursue and to takeover!  Many will ask how did you get here, the answer is God.  For He knew me before I was placed in my mothers womb, He is God His thoughts are higher than my thoughts, nor are His ways like my ways!  Walk into your season, this is a set up by God!  The Lord may arrangement for each of us for our appointed time!  We have to study the seasons to know what time it is!  There is a time for every purpose under the heavens.  Thank You God, for my time and season!  All glory and praise to you!  You told us on Monday it is time to sow, then today this is our season and our time!  God gives seed to the sower--this is your season and time!  Thank You for the appointed time.  We come to ask forgiveness this morning.  We repent, we know that this is the season of repentance.  That we would turn from our wicked ways and seek Your face. That You would hear from heaven and heal our land.  This is our season and our time, to cry out to God!  We repent, Lord please forgive us!

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:   I will walk into my season, I will pursue and takeover!

Welcome to the overflow...My Father did not give me the spirit of fear, but of power, love and sound mind.  We don't have to be afraid!  Tell God, I will walk into my season.  I am pursuing, You, God.  Walk into your season for healing, reviving, joy and overflow blessings.  We have got to pursue God to take everything in our season!  Faith without works is dead.  This is your season and time!  We know that without faith it is impossible to please God.  How bad do you want it?  Are you committed?  The devil is already defeated!  Walk into your season!  Hallelujah God!  I got the victory because of who my Father is!  This is your time and your season!  We got to know the season and time that we are in.  It is time for the takeover!  This is your time and season, fiveamprayer!  No more waiting!  Hallelujah God!  We shall pursue and takeover!  Walk into your season--just take it!  Who the Son sets free is free indeed!  This is my season and point of time.  O taste and see that the Lord is good!  Thank You Lord!  What a mighty God we serve!  He created time when He separated the light from the darkness--He set aside time and appointed times and seasons.  It is your time!  Thank You God!  No man know the hour nor the time--but God!  Time to walk into your season!  That is why there is so much resistance in the spiritual realm.  So much so that you have to go in as two or sometimes three to fight!  We have to keep on pressing in and fight this devil!  This is your time and season!  Walk into your appointed time and season!  Thank You God!  Thank You Holy Spirit!  Thank You for teaching us about seasons!  Do you know what time it is, in your marriage, with your children, in a pain racked body, a busy mind.  It is reconciliation time, it is learning the way that they should go time, healing time and time for peace for your mind--that is stayed on Him!  The enemy wanted to block your path, he is still a liar!  This is my time and season!  I know who I am and who's I am!  I know that I know, that I know!  Thank you for the blood that never looses it's power!  You tell me, it's your time and your season.  Now is the time to favor Zion, we are Zion!  Thank You Lord for the set up!  Spend some time in prayer to determine the season that you are in!  We have been set up by God, fiveamprayer.   Now we are to watch His hand move!  When you are walking with God, He will start doing things in your life, but you have got the move!  That you would reply, not my will, Thy will be done.  Obedience is better than sacrifice.  Don't second guess, it is not limited to our understanding--His ways, thoughts and plans are much higher!  We know that every good and perfect gift comes from above! Walk into your season!  Tell Him, I trust You!  Thank You God!  Thank You Lord!  Hallelujah Lord.  We come to lift You higher!  Giving You all the honor, glory and praise!  We exalt Thee, oh Lord!  Thank You God!
