We are walking in today: Remove All Hindrance, Before Crossing Over Into 2013!
Joshua 4:23
For the Lord your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you,
until ye were passed over, as the Lord your God did to the Red sea,
which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over. Before we walk into 2013, we must remove all hindrances! Keep your tongue on a fast. Remember we must speak life, don't let negative words come out of your mouth, they will hinder you! God works in
different ways in our affairs based on the intensity of our needs and
the situation. He does what is essential to keep us going in times of
trouble. He acts at the right time to remove the hindrance to help us to tread smoothly. He interferes in nature and reverses it's course to facilitate a forward thrust for us. We are moving forward in 2013! God will not be hindered! He removes fear of the hindrance from our hearts and eyes. His miracles are quantitatively and qualitatively significant to meet with every blockage that the enemy brings on our pathway. He demonstrates His great power to divide the Red Sea to make dry ground for His people to cross over, compare that to the crossing over the Jordan which was much simpler. Unless hindrances were removed, God's people could not cross over. God taught them that He was available to meet all of their needs whether simple or complex in the right time and place. He speaks to us today that He is available to meet all of our needs great or small. When the hindrance is removed, it causes us to give Him glory for what seemed impossible! Anybody asking for the impossible this morning? Trust in God to remove the hindrances. That means to leave it to God, wait for His orders on what to do. Sometimes He gives us a part to play in it, like with Moses who was to hold out his staff to divide the sea or the priest who, when stepping into the river with the ark the waters receded. God expects us to play our part and walk it out in faith and full obedience. Leave the mighty act of the removal of the hindrance to God. Remember that God is able to remove all hindrances whether big like the Red Sea or small like the Jordan River. He has already planned amazing things for you to accomplish on the other side of the hindrance. What is on the other side in 2013? Ain't nothing gonna hinder us! You have to over come hindrances by faith! Perhaps you need to command the sea to be removed, at other times you might be required to step into the water and it will recede. When God exercises His perfect will and removes the hindrance in front of you, it is your responsibility to take the first step of faith as per His instructions to see His mysterious ways and making your pathway smooth. It is very important to keep our pathways smooth--Exodus 3:5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. We are moving forward from 2012 and we are going in to holy ground in 2013! We must be careful and not track any of 2012 into 2013, none of those old ways or old mindsets. The only thing that can follow us are the blessings that He promised us! Be careful of what has gotten stuck to the bottom of your shoes, you don't want to track that into the new year with the--new you, new ministry and new money! Take your shoes off, fiveamprayer, you are standing on holy ground!
God is taking us over this Jordan, but we got to remove all hindrances! Let go of all that held you back in 2012, take off your shoes, do not track 2012 into 2013! New prayer life and new fasting--we must let go and let God! Remove all hindrances, fear and doubt that all has to stay in 2012! We are crossing over with a new mindset into 2013! The nay-sayers and the haters will stay in 2012! We are doing a new thing! At Life by Design they are walking in New Me, New Money and New Ministry. The message that Minister Davis shared on yesterday was titled 'Barefoot and Pregnant'. We will give birth to the seed that God has placed on the inside of all of us! We have to walk this out by faith! Take off the old man and put on the new! Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to
God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that
diligently seek him. God does not leave us in the wilderness with out preparing us first! He has given us the power to speak to the mountains that are in our way! He is making all things new! Philippians 3:13-15
13) Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one
thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth
unto those things which are before, 14) I press toward the mark for
the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15) Let us
therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye
be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. No more church as usual! New me, new money, new ministry! We must be transformed by the renewal of our minds. Hold on to God's promises! We have to be in alignment with His word! Some of what God has promised us did not show up--yet. Hold on to His word, it can not be revered nor will it return void! We shall reap the harvest if we faint not! 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. He tells us not to worry about tomorrow so why concern ourselves with what happened in 2012? He tells us that we are blessed and highly favored! Psalm 139:14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. Psalm 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. Fiveamprayer, your blessings are following you into this new year--they are the the only thing permitted to follow you. God has removed all hindrances in 2013,
that is why we are to take off our shoes, our old mindsets and old ways
that profit us nothing but pain, confusion and worry. We will put off the old and take on the new! 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. So how can we walk in all things new?! Isaiah 41:10 Fear
thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will
strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with
the right hand of my righteousness. Thank You God for upholding us with Your righteousness! That is how we can walk in 2013 unhindered! Praise Your name God! God will complete the work that He started with us! Behold He has made all things new, shall ye not know it?! No more blockages or things to stop us! We have power to speak to every lie and trick of the enemy and no devil in hell can stop us! God removed all hindrances! There is nothing that you can't do! Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Every blockage or stoppage removed! Take the shoes off of your feet, don't track 2012 into 2013! This is holy ground, not just a new year! Those things that have been going on in your marriage, with your children, in your mind, in your health--every hindrance removed! You can't mess up your blessing! God has opened up the Red Sea and the river Jordan and rolled back the waters. Crossover into your promised land, no more hindrances! There is nothing in your way! Look and see God's hand in every area of your life! Take your shoes off, you are standing on holy ground in His presence! All hindrances removed! Look at this with spiritual eyes and really hear Him! It is no longer a mystery, God is revealing His plans for us. The unseen clearly seen in 2013! You are free, who the Son sets free is free indeed! All hindrances removed before going into 2013! God took those things away! Because those things would hinder us! Ask for the impossible! Thank You God for removing all hindrances! Before He parts the Red Sea and the Jordan we will walk without a spirit of fear--God did not give us that, but of power, love and a sound mind. We have a new mindset and God will not be hindered. We lift You up this new year's eve morning! Thank You for setting us free! There are chains that are breaking loose in the spiritual! A new us is coming forth on this line! All hindrances removed before we cross over! We asked God for a renewed right
spirit, He taught us how to tame the tongue and to ask for the
impossible! No more fear, it brings torment. Weeping may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning! Fiveamprayer, 2013 is my morning! We come to repent for thinking we would take 2012 into 2013! We are taking off our shoes, we are on holy ground--we are beyond the veil. God is taking us to a new dimension, not a new level! We are going up higher than before because of our renewed minds! We truly have a renewed right spirit in us! Thank You Holy Spirit for leading and guiding us to all truth! Take off your shoes and lay out before God! Not one thing from 2012 will track into 2013!
We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: Thank You Lord for removing all hindrances before we cross over to 2013!
Welcome to the overflow...
Thank You God! The devil can't do nothing with us! We stand on this scripture, Isaiah 54:17
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue
that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the
heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me,
saith the LORD. Come on with a new self, new mind, peace, joy and revelation! We are not looking to make a resolution--we are looking for a revelation! God removed all hindrances from my life! Thank You God! He told us a long time ago that when we go, we shall not go empty! Bless Your holy name! Don't be afraid, provision is already made for you! Don't take anything from 2012 into 2013! Keep walking and don't look back! Like God told Abram--Genesis 12:1
Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from
thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew
thee. Fiveamprayer, we are to go where God tells us to go! No looking back, press toward to what God has for you! Genesis 19:26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. Stop thinking about the past! Press your way toward the mark of the higher calling in Christ Jesus! God is closing out the year on this line in the book of Joshua which is fitting since we are
asking God for the impossible like Joshua did when he asked the sun and
the moon to stand still. We have to stand on His word! He has removed all hindrances! Fear not, nor be dismayed--God upholds us with His mighty hand! Before you go, take your shoes off for you are standing on holy ground! What a mighty God we serve! What an awesome word! All of the tricks of the enemy, gone! All of that stuff that was coming against you, gone! Be in expectancy of what God will do, He will deliver on all of His promises! All hindrances removed--mountains, everything that would hinder is gone! Thank You God! Praise Your name! So many of us have pressed in 2012, fiveamprayer we will go to being surrounded by God! All those that are looking for us will find us in His presence! In His presence we will hear from Him, we must guard against distractions to our ears and eyes. Get ready for what God is gonna do in 2013--new you, new ministry, new money! We are surrounded by His presence, that is why you have got to take your shoes off, where ever He is, is holy ground! Fiveamprayer, you are standing on holy ground, take off your shoes! We are surrounded by His presence! God is showing up with revelation this morning and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it! He said to seek Him early--that we would be refreshed in His presence like the dew in the morning. Let the Holy Spirit rest on us, Lord. We are walking this out not by power or might but but Your Spirit!

Renew In Me A Right Spirit!
Psalm 51:1-10; 1 Corinthians 3:1-3, 11-15; Romans 8:31; Deuteronomy 28:7; Jude 1:24; 1 Corinthians 10:13; 1 Corinthians 10:26; Philippians 3:13; Proverbs 24:16;
Scripture Self look-up: Ezekiel chapters 2 and 3, Mark 7
We are walking in today: Renew In Me A Right Spirit!
Psalm 51:1-10 1) Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2) Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3) For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 4) Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. 5) Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6) Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. 7) Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8) Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 9) Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 10) Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Let's look at David, he was really repentant for the ordeal and he cries out for true restoration. Renew a right spirit within me. David started out with the right spirit and through the course of successes and promotions he forgot about the very thing that God honored him for, his right spirit. When Samuel the prophet was commanded to choose a king he made it clear that God looks upon the heart ,not the outward. David was crying out for a right spirit. We might wonder does it really matter? Yes, it does! It could make you or break you in your journey of faith and expectations of the blessings of God. First let us consider the term renew: to build, it is the process of building. Ask God going into the new year to renew a right spirit in me to speak the word of God. The definition of right spirit is to stand proper in spirit. If we are to proclaim victory to the defeated nations, we must have a right victorious spirit. In other words to have the preacher go and preach salvation, make sure they are saved themselves! Mindsets to consider, just because the things are done right doesn't constitute a right spirit, nor does correct theology or Biblical understanding. Your gossip might be facts but what kind of spirit is it of? What is your motive? You may operate in spiritual gifts like in--1 Corinthians 13:1-3 1) Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2) And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3) And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Think about it. You may seem to accomplish much but without a right spirit you accomplish nothing! We shall all stand before the judgement seat of Christ. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13 11) For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12) Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13) Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. Our motives will be tested with fire and our personal agendas will be monitored. God looks upon the heart, we work so hard to look right on the outside, let's contend to look right on the inside! On yesterday we walked in say what you mean and mean what you say. How we respond to offenses, determines our victory over our defeat. It is easy to proclaim and declare a scripture of faith, victory and blessings, but what does our heart really say? You can say that you are the head and not the tail all day long--but what does your heart say? We must contend for a right spirit. We cannot experience victory with a wrong corrupted spirit! How do you respond to other people younger than you in the Lord, being promoted over you? Other saints of God being used mightily even if you feel you are more holy than they are. How do you respond when other saints of God are talking about you? What if you have people leaving the church you lead or your ministry? That those who are leaving are saying that they are wrong or were being mistreated? How is your spirit? I have met many ministers of God who have been corrupted by jealously, competition, and others leaving their ministry. They became bitter and controlling, walking in fear and suspicion. If you desire to see your ministry or personal life be blessed, then maintain a right spirit! It is enforcement time! We have to say what we mean and mean what we say! Ask God to renew in you a right spirit in you in 2013!
So many of us are walking around with the wrong spirit, look at David this morning. He was begging and pleading to God to renew in him a right spirit! If we are gonna truly get this taming of the tongue down and ask for the impossible, we are gonna have to have the right spirit! We walked through 30 days of the taming of the tongue. We are asking God for the impossible and He taught us how to speak His word! We learned that we must worship God in spirit and in truth. No more being lead by the flesh but only by the spirit! That is why He comes today with this word, that we ask Him to renew in us a right spirit within us! That is how we will be able to hold our peace and let God fight out battles. The battle is not ours but the Lord's! Let us have a right spirit--ask God to renew, revive and refresh you. Show us how to stand on Your word, Lord. We must stand on His word to fight. The power of life and death is in our tongues. We have to have a right spirit within us to be able to endure and hold on. We will have to be quiet some times, that God would speak up for us. He wants to know do you trust Him or are you still trying to work things out yourself. We have to know and understand that God is in control. All that you have been going through, do you call Him Jehovah Jireh and really mean what you say? We have to walk this out by faith and not by sight. All weekend ask God to renew a right spirit within you! We have to cast down imaginations immediately that are against God's word. Seek God in prayer, that you would draw closer and closer to Him. There has to be no fear or doubt walking with you. You will have to let some people go as we head into 2013. You may have to walk this out alone. Ask for a renewed right spirit, that you can tell the devil that no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper and really stand on that word. We are empowered and made able to ask for the impossible! No wavering or second guessing--who knows more than God?! We have to stand no matter what. We are standing on His word which is a Rock of Ages, so as much as you stand on His word, His word will stand under you! Ask God to renew a right spirit in you. Ask God for a second touch. Sit at His feet all day praying until you can't pray anymore. God is doing a new thing, be renewed fiveamprayer. Lord we want a renewed right spirit as we walk into 2013. God will do some impossible things in our lives! We will walk in that! The spirit man is rising up, we are more than conquers, more than overcomers. Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? For surely we can over take this devil! We have to know what God deposited on the inside of us! We walked in taming the tongue for 30 days, then He has us ask for a right spirit to be renewed in us. What an awesome God we serve! We are not fighting flesh and blood! Renew in us a right spirit, Lord. With You, all things are possible. We are on the alter, we know that no one but God can do this! The devil is already defeated! We can say the name Jesus, and the enemy has to flee. Lord rise up let Your enemies be scattered! Deuteronomy 28:7 The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. We have to put on our armor of God, make ready for battle. God is renewing our right spirit within us! Jude 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy. Thank You Jesus for presenting us faultless to the Father! Renew in us a right spirit and a clean heart! God is always here to protect us, 1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. You are being tested, just coming out of a 30 fast of the tongue. Jesus fasted for 40 days and at the end of His fast was tempted while in the wilderness. God has filled us with His wisdom! The enemy wants to see if we will move from position--from what God just taught us in this fast. Will you move out of position by speaking the wrong thing or being silent at the wrong time? Pass this test, don't go around the mountain again! Don't move or get caught up! Renew in us a right spirit, Lord! Prepare us for 2013, You know all and see all, Lord. There is no one else that we will seek for answers! Only Your way is good and true! We are listening and hearing only what You speak to us! We have to know what season that we are in. Ask God for the impossible for 2013. No, not everyone will go with you in to 2013. God came that we would have life and that more abundantly! 1 Corinthians 10:26 For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. Renew in us a right spirit, Lord. No more living beneath God's best for us! Why are you fighting this thing in the natural? This is a spiritual warfare! We have to walk this out by faith! We can not continue doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different response by famous quote and by definition--extreme folly or unreasonableness, something utterly foolish or unreasonable--is insanity! Renew us Lord, that we can follow You truly. Fiveamprayer don't miss God! Move when He moves, make sure you are in the shift when it happens. Lord give us a renewed right spirit within us! David, when he makes this plea knows that God is the only one who can do this. Crucify our flesh, that we can really walk in this renewed right spirit! Only the Holy Spirit can tame the tongue. We thank You Lord! We are in repentance, we repent like David this morning. Wash us in the blood, Lord. Give us a clean heart, that we may serve You! Let us walk into 2013 made brand new by God! Don't drag 2012 into this new year. Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. We are not looking to make a resolution but to walk in revelation of God's word! God given revelations will always outlast man made resolutions! Renew in us a right spirit, Lord! So that we can stand and stand some more. We lift up fiveamprayer, we come asking for a renewal of a right spirit in us. We know that our lifestyle is not lining up with You, Lord. We need a new mindset and a clean heart. We repent now for all the wrong that we have done. We lift up prayer requests those known and unknown, so many of us are tired of doing things the same way. Renew in me a right spirit, even if I loose some things and people along the way. Forgive me, Lord I have only sinned against You! I am crying out to You, renew in me a right spirit within me! Thank You Lord! Fiveamprayer we have to get up! Proverbs 24:16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. Go into 2013 with power and authority! Ask Him for the impossible. We have got to have a renewed right spirit. Thank You for using Sandy Bell in the teaching on the taming of the tongue. What an awesome study in preparation for 2013 and asking You for the impossible! Fiveamprayer what are you saying over your children, spouses, family or friends? God is the provider, not the money--He is a keeper! You ought to feel your spirit man rising up! We can do all things through Christ which strengthens us! Some people will have to fall away, let them go. It is holding you back in your ministry. Stop dragging along dead weight. Those not walking upright with God is causing you to waiver. You can't walk out of this year asking God for the impossible and they are in doubt! Everyone can't go with you in 2013. If you don't let them go, God will have them removed. That is why people fell off this year, they can't go with you into next year. You still love them and pray for them. You will have to catch them in the next season. You have been waiting year after year that they would get it together. That is what is blocking your blessing. How can God bless you when you are holding on to something else? You are not God, only God can save! You have done our part, now let it go. Continue to pray for them, prayer changes things. Somethings we have to leave in 2012. Have no doubt or fear, they can't walk with you into 2013, leave it in 2012. In 2013, those walking with you must have the same mindset. Thank You Lord for this word this morning!
We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: Renew in me a right spirit and give me a clean heart, so I can serve You, Lord. We are going into 2013, renewed and asking for the impossible!
Welcome to the overflow...
Judgement is coming to the house of God first. Come to my house God, get me cleaned up! Those folks that have fallen off could not go with us in 2013. God has been telling us for months that everybody can't go with you. So we should not be surprised that there are folks dropping out. Keep them lifted up in prayer, prayer changes things! Pray about releasing anyone from your life!
Don't just use this word as an excuse to let people go. Make sure you are hearing from God about it--we must seek God in all things!

Say What You Mean and Mean What You Say!
Matthew 5:33-37; James 4:13-15; Genesis 3:4; Romans 12:2; James 4:7-8; Proverbs 10:12; 1 Peter 4:8; John 10:4, 10:27; Matthew 4:4; Ephesians 6:6; Psalm 23:4, 91:7; Isaiah 40:31; 1 Chronicles 4:10
We are walking in today: Say What You Mean and Mean What You Say!
Matthew 5:33-37 33) Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: 34) But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: 35) Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. 36) Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37) But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. Words will betray our alliance, if you are not careful. So as we are enforcing the word's that God has put in us, we have got to be careful. In order for us to enforce our words we must mean what we say and say what we mean. Have you ever met a person who was constantly saying things like, 'I swear' or 'I'm telling you the truth' or 'honest' or 'as God as my witness'? Have you ever wondered why they say such things? I think it is because they know that they have a reputation of not telling the truth or at least stretching it, near to a breaking point. The enemy knows we are standing and asking God for the impossible, our greatest alliance is the word. Don't betray our alliance by not saying what you mean and meaning what you say. Jesus said in our passage today, we are to say what we mean and mean what we say. It is the foundation of what being a Christian is all about, that we are truthful. Because we take after our Father who is truthful. Swearing, makes God a partner in our oath (Matthew 5:34-35) Everything belongs to God! That is including the heavens and the Earth! So how can you use things that you don't own as a way to back up your word?! So when, not if your word fails, how can you pay up?! Taking an oath that would put God's property on the line when your untrained and unguided word is not in total alignment with God and His word. Maybe your oath is based on something bad or in response to strong emotions and not supported by godly knowledge. Or your oath could just be a plain out lie and you have no intention of following through. Jesus is saying if you need to invoke heaven and Earth to back up your oath, then something is wrong in how people perceive you. You should not have to do it. We are not to swear by the hairs on our head, you can't make them black or white. The bottom line is this--don't bring God into your non-sense, this oath that you are making. Your character should reflect your intentions. Christians should be people of their word as it says in verse 37, let your yes, be your yes and your no, be your no. I don't think that it too hard to grasp. We need to tell the truth. By the way, being truthful includes what you don't say. Or allowing misrepresentation to come by your silence or inaction. When a Christian gives his or her word, we should know our limits. Unlike politicians who make grand promises in the hopes of getting support with no plans whatsoever to deliver on these promises. Why make promises for things outside of your control? James 4:13-15 13) Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: 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. You know that there is one word to summarize what I am talking about this morning. Saying what you mean and meaning what you say = integrity. Alliance means giving a promise of loyalty or an action of being or acting loyal. Oath means a solemn usually formal calling upon God to be a witness to the truth of what one says or that the witness in sincerity intends to do what they say. So therefore if you are truly going to enforce the word of God, you got to say what you mean and mean what you say. The enemy knows that you are accountable for what you say, so therefore do not go back on your word. Because the enemy is waiting for you to use the word of God and then waiver in what was already said. That you say the Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want, then go out and tell someone that you don't know if you are gonna make it or not. You have gotta mean what you say and say what you mean!God is telling us this morning this power of life and death is in out tongues! We have got to be careful, in what we say and what we speak! If we are gonna enforce, then we have to say what we mean and mean what we say through the word of God. We can not waiver in what God has given us. We have to be able to stand on the word of God, no matter what! God has given us power to speak over our own lives! But we must not waiver, nor doubt or fear! Fiveamprayer stand on your God given authority. He has taken us through a study on the taming of the tongue. Then today He comes to let us know that we must say what we mean and mean what we say. Thank You Holy Spirit for leading us to all truth! We have got to know that the enemy wants to place doubt and fear over the word that God gave you. Genesis 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die. The enemy comes to cast doubt on what God has already said. Why are we entertaining other things or options? What did God say?! That is what you should be focused on, God's word. That you stand believing and trusting in His word! Saying what you mean and meaning what you say! We have to stand regardless of the situation! We will trust in Him and walk in faith. No more going back, be a man or woman of integrity. Every word from your mouth should be the truth, say what God's word is saying. That we would speak life and not the foolishness of this world--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. Follow God and His word, your gift will make room for you! Jesus, the solid Rock on which we stand! Some times you don't believe that they believe that they are being truth--don't swear an oath or vow that you can't keep. Walk it out, without doubt or fear. God told you to walk in the truth. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Hallelujah! How can you enforce the word if you are not standing on the word? We have to stand no matter what--James 4:7-8 (AMP) 7) So be subject to God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him], and he will flee from you. 8) Come close to God and He will come close to you. [Recognize that you are] sinners, get your soiled hands clean; [realize that you have been disloyal] wavering individuals with divided interests, and purify your hearts [of your spiritual adultery]. Fiveamprayer let us not be unstable in our ways, we are to stand on His word. His word that stands forever! Say what you mean and mean what you say. Be real and say it in love. Proverbs 10:12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. 1 Peter 4:8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. How can you enforce anything while being double minded? Mean what you say and say what you mean. That is how you enforce God's word. When you come seeking, knocking and asking you will mean what you say. We are asking God for the impossible, no matter what comes, continue to stand on His word. He is still cleaning us up! God is coming back for a church without spot or wrinkle. His word that goes out will not come back void. All we have is Your word! We stand on Your word, not wavering no matter what the flesh says. We say all kinds of stuff we don't mean and have no intentions to do that thing at all. Keep us on the potter's wheel, Lord. We must say what you mean and mean what we say. God keep stripping us until we get it right with You. We continue through this journey to trust You not leaning to our own understanding. Say what you mean and mean what you say. The enemy knows that we were studying the taming of the tongue for 30 days, we know that he is a deceiver. The devil knows we are asking for the impossible don't let him trip you up. John 10:4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. That we are so build up in Your word that we can really stand on no weapon that is formed against us shall prosper! Fiveamprayer, we must really have scripture come alive in our lives that we can say what we mean and mean what we say! Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. We have to walk out that scripture that God gives us, to make it through. Really mean it and stand on His word--even while you are going through. His word is how you make it through! Time out for just throwing our scriptures, we are to stand on God's word. While we make that confession not just as lip service but from the heart, from a position of belief in God's mighty power in His word. Ask God to help your unbelief, so that you can walk out what you mean and say what you mean. Now is not the time to fall apart, stand on His word. Tell the devil that he is a liar! Stand on God's word! It is the only thing that we can stand on! Our words and actions must line up with His word. We can mean what we say. Call Him Jehovah Jireh, He is the God who provides, provision is not from the job. The job maybe your resource but God is your source! When we resist the devil, he has to flee from us. Don't waiver in your mind, stand on God's word. We lift up fiveamprayer this morning that You have given us one word, to mean what we say and to say what we mean. Father, You alone supply all of our needs, that we are already healed by His stripes. We lift up prayer requests those known and unknown. Have them to speak Your words over their life. We have an everlasting word and that we would mean what we say. We come to repent that we have said Your word and not mean it. Ephesians 6:6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart. Thank You Lord for coming to get us cleaned up and in order with You! Help our unbelief! You, bid Peter to walk out on the water with You, with his eyes on You, he walked on Your word, come. We stand believing and trusting in His word.
We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: I shall have what I shall speak. All because I say what I mean and mean what I say. We serve notice that we are all in the enemies camp and taking back all that you stole!
Welcome to the overflow...
This joy I have, the world didn't give it and the world can't take it away. 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. We have to say what we mean and mean what we say. Psalm 91:7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. God is for us, who can stand against us?! We are walking into the enemies camp, covered in the blood of Jesus--there is still power in the blood. When the enemy comes in like a flood, God lifts up a standard against him. Thank You God for Your word--there is power in Your word. 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. We can't faint now! We shall reap the harvest if we faint not! It is Your word God. We serve the Alpha and Omega, He knows the beginning from the end and the end from the beginning. He knows the plans that He has for us. Why are you worried?! He gives us peace that we can rest in, the devil only comes bearing lies. We must say what we mean and mean what we say. Hallelujah God! We thank You Lord! The joy of the Lord is our strength! We can do all things through Christ which strengthens us! You say it but do you mean it?! More than a conqueror, more than a overcomer--are you meaning what you say and saying what you mean? Are you really casting aside every weight that would so easily beset us? God always has a ram in the bush! Get in His word! Eat the word, truly walk in His word. Say what you mean and mean what you say. The Lord is our Shepherd and we shall not want! Will He really make a way for us? Are you trusting in the only wise God? Like when Jabez prayed to God he had to say what he meant and meant what he said. 1 Chronicles 4:10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested. He meant what he said and look at God's response, He grants what Jabez requested. Thank You Lord! He is just that good! Seek the Lord while He may be found. Call on Him while He is near. It is Revelation time. It is about to get worse, that is why He is equipping us with His word. So that we would mean what we say and say what we mean. Get into His word so you can speak His word and watch what His word made manifest in our lives. Have a wonderfully blessed day!

Philippians 3:13-14; Ephesians 6:10-11; 2 Timothy 1:7; Psalm 34:19; Isaiah 40:31; Romans 8:31; Numbers 23:19; 2 Chronicles 7:14; 2 Corinthians 10:5; Philippians 4:8; Genesis 1:14; Proverbs 24:16; Deuteronomy 32:30
Self Scripture look-up: Jeremiah 32:40, 33:3; Romans 8:31; 1 Corinthians 10:13; Psalms 34:19, 55:22; Isaiah 41:10; Romans 8:28; Psalm 18:30, 139:8; Hebrews 10:23; Isaiah 55:8-9
We are walking in today: It Is Enforcement Time!
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. We will stay in a mindset of worship before God! He has empowered us with the taming of the tongue study. This teaching must remain fresh in our lives. As we prepare or make preparation for 2013, fiveamprayer, it is enforcement time.
Enforcement is defined as carrying out an execution or judicial order. The power is in my tongue. I serve notice on the devil, that fiveamprayer, as a king can enforce the finished work of the cross of Jesus Christ. Revelation 1:5-6 5) And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6) And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. We have got to get to a point in our lives that we are no longer just hearers of the word, but doers of the word. It is enforcement time! Time to serve notice on the devil that even though 2012 is about to go out, and here comes 2013--I got power and authority to speak some things in my life. As 2012 rolls out, the things in 2013 won't look the same as it did in 2012. You have gotta be like Paul, Philippians 3:13-14 13) Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14) I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. I come to enforce some things in my life! I come to stand on the word of God because I believe and trust what God's word says. Ephesians 6:10-11 10) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11) Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Fiveamprayer, you have got to get this one down in your spirit!
There are so many things that are coming against believers--finances and relationships for example. We have to enforce our God given authority. Tell the devil to get behind you. Put into practice all that you have learned from the taming the tongue series. We have already been made overcomers. God makes us able to stand therefore! We serve a God who knows all things! The enemy is under our feet! God gave us dominion a long time ago! Remember who you are and Who's you are! Fiveamprayer, suit up for battle, it is enforcement time. Nobody but God! That is why we can ask Him for the impossible, He is the only one who can do it! Open up your mouth and speak what God speaks, His word! In 2013, we are taking back all that the devil stole. We can speak that we shall live and not die when we are facing illness. We can speak that God is our provider in the face of the fiscal cliff that the world is speaking of. While others are surrounded by drama and you are resting in a peace that surpasses all understanding because you have your mind stayed on Him! 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Use the word on the devil! You have been given the spiritual weapons of mass destruction! Tell the devil he is a liar! Psalm 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. The enemy knows that his time is almost up, he is attacking children, relationships and your lifestyle. Speak to him, God's word. Cover yourself in God's word. His word will not return void, it will do all that He sent it to do. 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 are so many believers that are being tested--stand on God's word. Use what you got--His word, the Bible! When you do, nothing can come against you! Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Our strength is found in His joy! We are being tested because the devil has peeked into our next season and saw that God is gonna bless us! We have been given authority and power, by God. You have come so far, don't turn around now! Stop speaking that nonsense that the world speaks--speak life, speak God's word! What did God say, that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. That we are the work of His hands, and God always makes masterpieces! Thank You God! Keep speaking His word and then wait for the manifestation of His word in your life. 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? Every time you stand on His word, believing and not letting go like Jacob until You bless me--let's God know that you are serious about this thing. You will not change your mind about it in a few minutes or on tomorrow. We are to speak His word not complaints, God is listening to see if we are speaking His word. That is what He is moving on. We are the seed of Abraham and we will be blessed to be a blessing. That we would recieve generational blessings! Call on God with His word! We have been given too much power to not call God on His word. Fiveamprayer, stand on His word. Speak His word! Don't find complaint on your lips. Your talk lines up with your walk. Thank You God for empowering us! God drops a word on fiveamprayer that speaks right to us! Don't let man define you, what did God say?! Really sit with with God in that secret place, He will reveal it to you in your time with Him! We are going into 2013, knowing how to use the the power that God has given you. Man didn't give it and he can not take it away. Don't get into doubt--stand on His word! What did God tell you? He is our Rock of Ages! You have gotta know--you have to have a relationship with God for yourself! Obedience is better than sacrifice. We gotta focus on His word. That is it! Trust in the Lord! He will do it! We have to enforce His word, in every area of our lives. Stop seeking other gods--self, pastors, and deacons. Lord we come this morning to repent for seeking other answers. We come to line up with You, Lord. We are not seeking after anything but You and more of You! God is coming back for a church without spot or wrinkle. He is looking for a reflection of Himself in you. Are you full of His word and reflecting His love to others?! Would God look at you and see that your steps are ordered by the Lord? Is the book of Psalms in your heart? If God picked you up like a book would Genesis be on the the front and the book of Revelation on the back cover? We have got to tell the devil to get behind us! Even as we are facing being cast into a fire, that we will not serve anyone but the true God! No, we will not take a mark! We will only serve the only, Living God! You think times are hard now?! Get ready! God is slowly moving His hand off of America. 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. With all of these recent shootings and more going on--time is winding up, it is late in the evening. We are in wartime. We have to go to the spiritual realm to fight! The enemy is trying hard to get you out of position. Use the word of God to stand and stand therefore! 2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. It is enforcement time! In every aspect, look at this in the spiritual. The devil is seeking who he may devour. Be wrapped up and tangled up in His word! He came to shake us up, so that we can wake up from the lies and deceit! We are to pray and not faint! Fiveamprayer, we are to pray without ceasing. We worshiped God all day yesterday and it was awesome! We have the word of God and the Comforter. He is Jehovah Jireh. So then, why are you worried?! He took 5 loaves and 2 fishes--it is already done! Get a word and stand on that! I dare you to stand on His promises! It is not in your timing but His! The word tells us that He created time--Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years. We must be patient, we all have a waiting period. Just like when you go to the doctor's office, you have to wait to be seen. This waiting may actually be a preparation time so that we can be ready to receive that God has for us once our wait is over! God won't bring us out of the process too soon. For those of us that have been saying that you don't understand, take some time and look up these scriptures--Jeremiah 32:40, 33:3; Romans 8:31; 1 Corinthians 10:13; Psalms 34:19, 55:22; Isaiah 41:10; Romans 8:28; Psalm 18:30, 139:8; Hebrews 10:23; Isaiah 55:8-9. Now after looking up those scriptures, do you understand?! It is enforcement time! We lift up fiveamprayer, we went through 30 days on a study of the tongue. Then You come to let us know that it is enforcement time! Let them each go deeper into Your word to really be able to speak it! We lift up prayer requests we know that we only find our answers in You. We will speak Your word over others and ourselves. We repent for seeking everything else but You! The all knowing wise God! Seek Him in His word! Proverbs 24:16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. Don't stay down and wallow in it, get up and accept God's forgiveness, forgive yourself and get up! Our Lord forgives with no condemnation, keep walking! His grace is sufficient! We are made free by the blood of Christ, yet we put ourselves in bondage. Christ paid it all! God is moving on this line and shaking things up. He will never put more on us than we can bear. Remember that there is purpose in every test, trial and tribulation.
We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: I will enforce Your word, Lord!
Welcome to the overflow...
Hallelujah God! Your word is in me! Thank You for the Holy Spirit, who brings to remembrance the scriptures that we have read. Do you believe that Jesus died and rose on the third day? Send us a email so that we can point you in the right direction to salvation, fiveamprayer@gmail.com. We don't want to assume that everyone on this line is saved. Thank You Lord for Your word! God, there are so many of us that don't understand why and then You give us so many scriptures for an answer. Thank You Lord, we should just bask in His presence all day today! Thank You Lord, in the spirit we are bowing down to worship you! Oh, how He cares for us! He doesn't want one man to be lost. We cry out that You would have mercy on the United States. That we can have in our hearts nevertheless, Thy will be done. Not what we think is the good or right way, but You alone are the only are righteous one! Deuteronomy 32:30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up? Thank You God for this divine destiny connection! This line has been anointed by, You Lord! We get up early to seek Him while He may be found. You better get it now! Thank You Lord! He is a rewarder to those that diligently seek Him! Don't think you can keep seeking, knocking and asking and He won't answer?! He will show up! Fiveamprayer gets up everyday seeking Him early and we come to bow down and worship Him! We give Him all of the glory and the praise. If we give Him the glory, He will give us the goods! What is the best treasure, more and more of Him! Thank You God! It is about His presence and your relationship with Him. Fiveamprayer, God is mindful of us! Thank You God! We go beyond the veil in worship, drawing closer and closer to Him! We are to worship Him in spirit and in truth. We are to worship Him in the beauty of holiness. Bow down and worship Him! We were made to worship Him! Thank You God! Your mercy endures to all generation and forever! Keep speaking His word, it is a sweet savor to His nostrils. He is to good to us! We just don't want to let Him go! Bow down and worship Him!
Self Scripture look-up: Jeremiah 32:40, 33:3; Romans 8:31; 1 Corinthians 10:13; Psalms 34:19, 55:22; Isaiah 41:10; Romans 8:28; Psalm 18:30, 139:8; Hebrews 10:23; Isaiah 55:8-9
We are walking in today: It Is Enforcement Time!
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. We will stay in a mindset of worship before God! He has empowered us with the taming of the tongue study. This teaching must remain fresh in our lives. As we prepare or make preparation for 2013, fiveamprayer, it is enforcement time.
Every Christian has an enemy. Although unseen by the natural eye,
this adversary is not imaginary nor a mythological character. Satan, the Devil, is a real
person... a spirit being, with intelligence, tangible characteristics, and whose incessant
goal and ambition is to “steal, kill, and destroy” (John 10:10).
Around the clock the enemy is on the prowl, seeking to cause mayhem
and destruction to all believers and the work of Jesus Christ throughout the world. With
military-like strategy and ruthless hostility, the devil aggressively searches for
weakness in our faith and spiritual life, hoping to devour us with deception, temptation,
or oppression. He is the personification of all that is evil and is the author of every
despicable work.
Regardless of whether you realize it, Satan has targeted you as a
victim. He knows your name and address, your strengths and weaknesses. Somewhere in the
shadows, he and his forces lurk, waiting, planing for the moment they will strike when
you’re caught off-guard. He desperately hopes that you will, as many Christians,
remain ignorant of his reality so that you’ll blame his assaults on somebody or
something else.
His method of operation is almost always “undercover.”
Subtly, he manipulates hindering circumstances and inspires evil thoughts or temptations,
disguising his activities behind the shroud of people or things. He will always seek to
divert attention and blame for his actions upon others. But make no mistake, he is the
real enemy, not your husband, wife, employer, government or Christian brethren!“For
we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in
the heavenly places” (Ephesians 6:12).
The good news is that, although the Devil is described
“like” a “roaring lion,” in reality he has no actual authority over
believers. He is not really a lion, but roars “like” a lion would to bluff his
victims into fear and intimidation. Satan is a liar and deceiver and uses deception as his
weapon to gain advantage over those who are ignorant of the limitations of his power.
When Jesus gave his life on the cross as the sacrifice for the sins
of the world, He also redeemed us from Satan’s power and dominion over us.

Man didn't give it and he can not take it away. Don't get into doubt--stand on His word! What did God tell you? He is our Rock of Ages! You have gotta know--you have to have a relationship with God for yourself! Obedience is better than sacrifice. We gotta focus on His word. That is it! Trust in the Lord! He will do it! We have to enforce His word, in every area of our lives. Stop seeking other gods--self, pastors, and deacons. Lord we come this morning to repent for seeking other answers. We come to line up with You, Lord. We are not seeking after anything but You and more of You! God is coming back for a church without spot or wrinkle. He is looking for a reflection of Himself in you. Are you full of His word and reflecting His love to others?! Would God look at you and see that your steps are ordered by the Lord? Is the book of Psalms in your heart? If God picked you up like a book would Genesis be on the the front and the book of Revelation on the back cover? We have got to tell the devil to get behind us! Even as we are facing being cast into a fire, that we will not serve anyone but the true God! No, we will not take a mark! We will only serve the only, Living God! You think times are hard now?! Get ready! God is slowly moving His hand off of America. 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. With all of these recent shootings and more going on--time is winding up, it is late in the evening. We are in wartime. We have to go to the spiritual realm to fight! The enemy is trying hard to get you out of position. Use the word of God to stand and stand therefore! 2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. It is enforcement time! In every aspect, look at this in the spiritual. The devil is seeking who he may devour. Be wrapped up and tangled up in His word! He came to shake us up, so that we can wake up from the lies and deceit! We are to pray and not faint! Fiveamprayer, we are to pray without ceasing. We worshiped God all day yesterday and it was awesome! We have the word of God and the Comforter. He is Jehovah Jireh. So then, why are you worried?! He took 5 loaves and 2 fishes--it is already done! Get a word and stand on that! I dare you to stand on His promises! It is not in your timing but His! The word tells us that He created time--Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years. We must be patient, we all have a waiting period. Just like when you go to the doctor's office, you have to wait to be seen. This waiting may actually be a preparation time so that we can be ready to receive that God has for us once our wait is over! God won't bring us out of the process too soon. For those of us that have been saying that you don't understand, take some time and look up these scriptures--Jeremiah 32:40, 33:3; Romans 8:31; 1 Corinthians 10:13; Psalms 34:19, 55:22; Isaiah 41:10; Romans 8:28; Psalm 18:30, 139:8; Hebrews 10:23; Isaiah 55:8-9. Now after looking up those scriptures, do you understand?! It is enforcement time! We lift up fiveamprayer, we went through 30 days on a study of the tongue. Then You come to let us know that it is enforcement time! Let them each go deeper into Your word to really be able to speak it! We lift up prayer requests we know that we only find our answers in You. We will speak Your word over others and ourselves. We repent for seeking everything else but You! The all knowing wise God! Seek Him in His word! Proverbs 24:16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. Don't stay down and wallow in it, get up and accept God's forgiveness, forgive yourself and get up! Our Lord forgives with no condemnation, keep walking! His grace is sufficient! We are made free by the blood of Christ, yet we put ourselves in bondage. Christ paid it all! God is moving on this line and shaking things up. He will never put more on us than we can bear. Remember that there is purpose in every test, trial and tribulation.
We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: I will enforce Your word, Lord!
Welcome to the overflow...
Hallelujah God! Your word is in me! Thank You for the Holy Spirit, who brings to remembrance the scriptures that we have read. Do you believe that Jesus died and rose on the third day? Send us a email so that we can point you in the right direction to salvation, fiveamprayer@gmail.com. We don't want to assume that everyone on this line is saved. Thank You Lord for Your word!

Thank You Lord, in the spirit we are bowing down to worship you! Oh, how He cares for us! He doesn't want one man to be lost. We cry out that You would have mercy on the United States. That we can have in our hearts nevertheless, Thy will be done. Not what we think is the good or right way, but You alone are the only are righteous one! Deuteronomy 32:30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?

He is a rewarder to those that diligently seek Him! Don't think you can keep seeking, knocking and asking and He won't answer?! He will show up! Fiveamprayer gets up everyday seeking Him early and we come to bow down and worship Him! We give Him all of the glory and the praise. If we give Him the glory, He will give us the goods! What is the best treasure, more and more of Him! Thank You God! It is about His presence and your relationship with Him. Fiveamprayer, God is mindful of us! Thank You God! We go beyond the veil in worship, drawing closer and closer to Him! We are to worship Him in spirit and in truth. We are to worship Him in the beauty of holiness. Bow down and worship Him! We were made to worship Him! Thank You God! Your mercy endures to all generation and forever! Keep speaking His word, it is a sweet savor to His nostrils. He is to good to us! We just don't want to let Him go! Bow down and worship Him!

Bow Down And Worship Him!
Matthew 2:1-12; Matthew 2:3, 13; Isaiah 45:23; Romans 14:11; Luke 23:34; John 8:11; Acts 2:17; 1 Chronicles 16:29; John 4:22-23; Hebrews 11:6; Luke 15:3-8
We are walking in today: Bow Down And Worship Him!
Matthew 2:1-121) Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2) Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. 3) When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4) And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. 5) And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, 6) And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. 7) Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. 8) And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. 9) When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. 10) When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 11) And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh. 12) And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. The gospel of Matthew paints the picture, of Jesus as King. This is where Matthew puts the emphasis, and where we should also put the emphasis--Jesus is King! This stands out in this text, Jesus is born, king in Bethlehem and take notice that Jesus dies with these words over head on the cross-- Jesus, the King of the Jews. True, true, Jesus is the King! But His kingdom is not of this world. His kingly rule is now in people's hearts. Here, He now rules as King and Savior, yet what do we see here in Matthew 2:1-12? It is not the Jews but the Gentiles who worshiped the King of the Jews. Who are these Gentiles? These are Magi, who studied the stars and skies above us. These Gentiles come from a foreign land, probably Babylon. They know about and respond to heaven's truth, the King is born. In their words, 'we have come to worship Him'. Now look at the Jewish people. The religious leaders in Jerusalem, how do they respond? What about other people like king Herod, how do they respond? How about you and me--how do we respond? He is King of kings and Lord of lords! There are people like Herod who actually oppose Christ the King.(Matthew 2:3, 13) Magi from the east came to Jerusalem, and asked where is the one who has born king of the Jews? Who saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him. When king Herold hears this he, was disturbed and all Jerusalem with him. Herod was known as the wicked king and wants to kill Jesus. Take a snap shot of this scene-- the Magi come seeking the star in the eastern heavens that starts them on their journey. They come seeking to worship the King Jesus, which is the climax of their journey. Don't forget that these Magi's are mighty and wealthy men, they might have been in the presence of the king of Babylon, they are highly ranked in society, but here they are, kneeling in this little village of Bethlehem. Keep this in mind, they regard this place as better than any kings palace. They bow to this child, as the most glorious King of kings! It is not the poor circumstances, it is the divine person that impacts, their lives! Here they bow down to worship Jesus! It is the greatest moment in their lives! Some day the Bible says, Isaiah 45:23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. Romans 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. This includes those that oppose Jesus. These men bowed down in reverence and true worship to King Jesus. The Magi's worship Him! Jesus is the King of kings, the Bible declares it and this world will know it when Jesus returns! So bow down and worship Him!
Get up this morning, get on your face to worship the King, Jesus! The Christ child that the wise men were seeking, who had come in preparation to worship Him! Emmanuel, God with us! Worship Him because of who He is! It is not about what He has done. He is El Shaddai, He is Jehovah Rapha, He is Jehovah Tsidkenu. Jesus came to set the captives free, to take away the sins of the world. He came to bring us life more abundantly in Him! By His stripes we were healed. He left us with the Comforter. He is the Alpha and the Omega and knows the beginning from the end. He is the Lord, our Shepherd! Bow down and worship Him! Come let us adore Him! Fiveamprayer, unto us a Savior was born! He brings us peace on Earth, good will towards men! Hallelujah God! He has been better to us than we have been to ourselves. He loved us before we loved ourselves! While He was yet being crucified said--Luke 23:24 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. Fall down to your knees and worship Him! Tell Him, I give You glory because of who You are! Give Him honor and praise! Hallelujah God! Bow down and worship Him! Can you imagine the presence of the Lord when the Magi's found Him?! They gave Him the right response--worship. There is no other response in His presence! John 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her,Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.He does not come to condemn us, but to deliver us if we will freely receive of Him! Like this woman in John 8, you will be changed by an encounter with God! Bow down and worship Him-all day today! Stay in a spirit of worship. He will stay all over us today as we stay in worship! Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. 1 Chronicles 16:29 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. John 4:22-23 22) Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23) But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God wants to know who will still worship Him with all hell breaking loose in their lives?! They are not seeking to conform to the world that they will stand up and stand out for God! Will you be found seeking God and walking this out by faith and not by sight? Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. On this Christmas morning, bow down and worship Him! We come together on one accord to give Him worship! We bow down and worship Him! We bring ourselves to the alter and lay our will down, our way down. We submit to You Lord and to You only. We gather together to worship Him, the Savior of all men!(Luke 15:3-8) We ask for forgiveness, Lord. We have been seeking other things instead of You! We lay aside all the inferior, temporary and false things for the true, eternal and treasure of You! Thank You God for forgiving us with no condemnation! You cast our sins away as far as the east is from the west. Thank You for teaching us to forgive others that we too are forgiven! We bow down to worship You! Happy birthday, Jesus!
We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: I bow down and I worship You, Lord!
Welcome to the overflow...
Thank You Lord! Bow down and worship Him! Thank You God, just because of who You are! The faithful, wise, long-suffering, healing and compassionate God! He is a hiding place! He is a solid Rock! He is a rewarder to those that diligently seek Him! He is our Way in a manger! Worship Him! Hosanna in the highest! Merry Christmas! Christ was born that we may live! Tell Him all day, I will bow down and worship Him! Because of who You are! We bow down. He is a keeper if you keep your mind stayed on Him! His peace surpasses all under understanding! With Him you will have joy unspeakable, even when things get tough! Rest in the Father for He cares for you!

No Room In The Inn.
Luke 2:6-7; Isaiah 7:14; Micah 5:2; Mark 12:30-31; Revelation 3:20; Matthew 6:33; Luke 9:23; Psalm 34:19; Luke 2:10-14
We are walking in today: No Room In The Inn.
Luke 2:6-7 6) And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7) And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. The fact that there was no room for Jesus, Mary and Joseph in the inn at Bethlehem on the first Christmas should make us wonder. Because the birth of Christ was foreseen and planned by God. From all eternity, hundreds of years before it happened. The prophets announced in, Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. And that He would be born in Bethlehem--Micah 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. Many other details of His life and death were also foretold. Did God then forget to make room for His only Son?! How is that possible that there was no room when the child born on Christmas owns the inn and Bethlehem and the whole world--every inch of room in the universe?! Obviously God did this on purpose. There was no room in the inn because this demonstrates that the world has rejected God. The world makes no room for the God who created it. There was no room in the inn becasuse God wanted to show that His Son comes as a Savior to reconsile a world that is at eminity with God. Being turned away from the inn foreshadowed the fact that the Savior, Himself will be rejected, deispised and ultimately crucified. It was all a part of God's plan from all eternity, ultimately the lack of room in the inn symbolizes the lack of room we make for Him in our hearts. When our hearts are filled with all kinds of desires than God--we gradually crowd Him out all together. No room in the inn also means that we fail to make room for our brothers and sisters. Mark 12:30-31 30) And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 31) And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. Today He doesn't seek room in the inn, He is seeking room in our hearts and lives! He asks that we would let Him in, He is at the door knocking. Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Make room for our Savior, in the name of Jesus!
How many of us were so busy in this season, shopping and pick up gifts that we have no room for Him?! Fiveamprayer, have you pushed Him to the back burner? Many of us have not made room for Him in our hearts or homes. No room for Jesus--yeah I am gonna pray next week, I will go to church next Sunday. Are you doing everything else and putting God to the side? God is standing at the door of your heart and is knocking asking to come in. Will you harken to His voice? Will you open the door, He says that He will come in and sup with you and you with Him! But the world and many believers say that there is no room for Him in the inn. When God was looking to and fro for someone to send, He found none and sent His only begotten Son. He came in to a dying world, bringing life more abundantly. Even now in 2012 they have no room for Jesus, that there is no more prayer in the schools. You better cover your children before they head out to school! Take a look around, no Jesus anywhere! People saying happy holidays instead of Merry Christmas! When there are many businesses that are closed on December 25 of every year and most calendars have that day listed as Christmas but we can't say Merry Christmas?! Make room for the Savior, He certainly has made room for you! Going to the cross to redeem you to the Father. Being our intercessor with God and saying My blood has already paid for that. Make room fiveamprayer for your healing and for God to do the impossible in your life! We must make room for the Savior of the world, Jesus! He is still on the throne. We get up early seeking Him! Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Why are you lacking? Is it because you are not making room for Him?! Are you not calling out to Him?! Are you not praying in Jesus' name?! Cry out to Him at the alter. God is coming back for a church without spot or wrinkle--we have to make room! You make room for everything else!? Even when Jesus came and all of the miracles that He did--no room, that the people cried out crucify Him! Are you telling your children that Christmas is about the birth of Christ? That He is the reason that we celebrate, that He came to take away the sins of the world! Make room for Jesus. Luke 9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. Psalm 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. Make room and get ready for the suffering, they that follow Jesus will suffer. We thank You God for every stripe and that Your response was forgive them Father, they know not what they do. God is coming back for a church! Make room, He is knocking at your door of your heart. Accept Jesus as your personal savior, come on down to the alter, there is still room. Do you believe that He died for your sins? Salvation is free, Jesus paid it all on the cross! All to Him do we owe! Thank You Lord! For washing and redeeming us! When is the last time that you asked someone do you believe? This is about a personal relation ship with God! There is still room! Send us an email at fiveamprayer@gmail.com that you wanna try Him for yourself. He will leave the 99 and look for the one, are you the one? Make room. You are so awesome and mighty Lord! We make room--seeking, asking and knocking. We turn from our wicked ways, how we need You Lord! Thank You for this day, this is the day that You have made and we will rejoice and be glad in it! It is not about presents but about Your presence. That we have Emannuel, God with us, that You were born of a virgin and grew in favor with God and man. Lord, You are the foretold Messiah that would walk among us and teach us the good and right ways. Talk to Him all day today. He was been waiting to talk to you! Thank You Lord, You have done so much for me! For every mountain that You brought me over, for every blessing I give You praise! We know that is is only by Your hand that were have been delivered and receive blessings! You are the reason for this season--Jesus Christ! I am making room, asking which way do I go, Lord. I am making room asking what words to I say? I am making room, which prayer do I pray? Hallelujah Lord! You are so worthy! Thank You for this day! Don't worry about tomorrow, our God is the same yesterday, today and forever more! We lift up fiveamprayer there is someone crying out, I am making room for Jesus! There is no room for fear, that is not a spirit that You gave us! I am making room in my heart, my home and my ministry! We come to repent for putting everything before You. Forgive us Father for being mislead. Thank You God for coming to get our focus back on You, the King of kings, the Lord of lords, the Prince of Peace, Emmanuel! Thank You for coming into this dying world with life more abundantly! Thank You for forgiving us as we are to forgive others to be forgiven! Thank You God that when You forgive our sins are cast away, remembered no more, that You forgive with no condemnation.
We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: I am making room!
Welcome to the overflow...
What a mighty God that we serve! Are you making room? He told you what to do a long time ago. Walk it out with God. Obedience is better than sacrifice! God said it and that is enough for me! We get up this morning to make room. That our response is from our hearts, nevertheless Thy will be done! Glory to Your name! Glory to God in the highest! Hosanna in the highest! Glory to the Living God! Luke 2:10-14 10) And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11) For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12) And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13) And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14) Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

We know that is is only by Your hand that were have been delivered and receive blessings! You are the reason for this season--Jesus Christ! I am making room, asking which way do I go, Lord. I am making room asking what words to I say? I am making room, which prayer do I pray? Hallelujah Lord! You are so worthy! Thank You for this day! Don't worry about tomorrow, our God is the same yesterday, today and forever more! We lift up fiveamprayer there is someone crying out, I am making room for Jesus! There is no room for fear, that is not a spirit that You gave us! I am making room in my heart, my home and my ministry! We come to repent for putting everything before You. Forgive us Father for being mislead. Thank You God for coming to get our focus back on You, the King of kings, the Lord of lords, the Prince of Peace, Emmanuel! Thank You for coming into this dying world with life more abundantly! Thank You for forgiving us as we are to forgive others to be forgiven! Thank You God that when You forgive our sins are cast away, remembered no more, that You forgive with no condemnation.
We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: I am making room!
Welcome to the overflow...
What a mighty God that we serve! Are you making room? He told you what to do a long time ago. Walk it out with God. Obedience is better than sacrifice! God said it and that is enough for me! We get up this morning to make room. That our response is from our hearts, nevertheless Thy will be done! Glory to Your name! Glory to God in the highest! Hosanna in the highest! Glory to the Living God! Luke 2:10-14 10) And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11) For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12) And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13) And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14) Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

We are walking in today: Taming The Tongue--Tactless, Rude, Cursing and Betraying Tongue
Colossians 4:6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
Job 6:25 How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?John 1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
Proverbs 11:13 (NLT) A gossip goes around telling secrets, but those who are trustworthy can keep a confidence.
Thank you fiveamprayer for joining us on the close out of this awesome study! Thank You God for coming to clean us up, that we would speak life and not everything that comes to our mind. We praise Your name, we have learned to take a selah moment to ponder if we should utter what is on our tongue. Thank You for giving us the Holy Spirit to give us urgings to know when and what to speak. Thank You that we keep Your word in our hearts and minds that we would only speak peace, love and kindness that we will look to speak the things of the heavenly kingdom. Thank You for this study that we learn that in yielding and seeking You we are able to speak to the deeper things of God in every situation. Thank You God for Your willing and humble servant, Sandy Bell for her time in this study, that she came on the line every day for four weeks giving us insight on what the tongue can do--especially if it is not yielded unto the Holy Spirit and a heart seeking You, God and Your word meditating in our minds! Thank You God for coming to get us cleaned up, we are made in Your image and likeliness and we should reflect that in our actions and how we speak to others! Thank You God for taking our hand to walk through this that we make the necessary corrections and to repent when we see that we have fallen short. We will continue to get up--Proverbs 24:16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. Thank You God for showing us that we can rise up and not be in mischief because we are seeking after what You have already given unto us. We must abide by the leading of the Holy Spirit and we will be made to be more and more like You! Thank You God for coming to give us a revelation, not a resolution for this new year but, a word that we can stand on and walk in. A word from You, God can never be reversed nor return void, that is why a revelation of Your word is a much greater gift than a resolution that is often abandoned shortly after it is professed. That is another difference of doing things man's way instead of God's way. Let us heap up and seek after heavenly treasures that bring eternal life and are pleasing unto God and not the things that will be moth eaten or rust can destroy! We come to ask for forgiveness, Lord. During this study we have learned how often and how much we are hurting others, we have been charged by Christ Himself in, John 13:34-35 34) A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35) By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. Thank You God for this awesome study and that we would continue in seeking to be more and more like our Father. Lord we want to be seen by others that we take after our Father. Fiveamprayer keep your tongue on a fast that your teeth would be the cage for this unruly animal! Thank You God for showing us ourselves and giving us the tools to make the correction to walk this out as You would have us to. That we would speak life and peace whenever we speak to others--2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Thank You God that with our tongues submitted to the Holy Spirit we can be used as tools to reach the lost so that no man is lost! Amen! Praise Your holy name! To listen to this again click here.
We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: I will speak words seasoned with grace and speak the truth in love. Holy Spirit help me to walk in 1 Corinthians 13, love does not demand it own way. God has full charge of my tongue, and I will only speak honor to His name. I am a trustworthy person and I can be depended on! Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. Ecclesiastes 5:2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
To find the book from this study search online for 30 Days to Taming Your Tongue, by Deborah Smith Pegues to revisit the areas of the tongue where you need more restraint or control. What an awesome study--learning what to speak and when to speak! Amen!
