The Turn Of The Road.

Isaiah 50:4-9

We are walking in today: The Turn Of The Road.


Isaiah 50:4-9 4) The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned. 5) The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back. 6) I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. 7) For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. 8) He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me. 9) Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up. Have you ever driven down a road thinking you were heading in the right direction only to wind up some place else? I am so bad at directions--my problem is that I think that the road I am taking is in one direction--when in reality I was going some place else. That brings us to Palm Sunday. We know that story so well that it is easy for us to think just like those in Jerusalem that day, that Palm Sunday is taking us some place else. When in reality we are on a different road. A road we might not choose, a road we had not planned on, a road we don't welcome. The crowds that day, when Jesus road into Jerusalem, were ready for change. The oppression of the Roman empire laid heavy on them. The Egyptian captivity from which their forefathers had been delivered, and it was passover week after all. Emotions were running high--plans were being made to gather in homes and rent homes to share a meal--it was the same hope of freedom. That the crowd in Jerusalem invested in Jesus that day. Jesus came in that day, riding to the rescue. It was not the first time, the crowd searched for a leader and it would not be the last. But Jesus seemed different a mystic and yet a mystic who stayed with the common man, ate with the tax collectors, forgave women of poor reputation, played with children and taught vast crowds that came out to hear Him. So on that Sunday morning when Jesus came in riding on a donkey, the symbol of the triumphant king who brought peace to those in Jerusalem took up the chance. Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna! Take a look at the definition of hosanna--save now! or save, we beseech, (Matt. 21:9); save I pray thee; keep; preserve; "Save, we pray!" the cry of the multitudes as they thronged in our Lord's triumphal procession into Jerusalem. (Matthew 21:9,15; Mark 11:9,10; John 12:13) The Psalm from which it was taken, the 118th, was one with which they were familiar from being accustomed to recite the 25th and 26th verses at the feast of tabernacles. Hosanna is also propitious, favorably disposed : benevolent, tending to favor, advantageous. A different road, a different destination. But the road on Palm Sunday was not the road to freedom. It was not the road to sacrifice, not the road to power. It was the road to humility. It was not the road to fame. It was the road to death. It was not the road that the crowds thought it was--the road that God had planned. In our celebration of the wonder of Palm Sunday--we forget that only a few short days later, Jesus would be betrayed, arrested, tried, abandoned, whipped, spat upon, slapped, have His beard torn out, be scorched, tortured with a crown of thorns, mocked, ridiculed and ultimately killed. The same crowed that sung hosannas at His arrival will shout for Pontius Pilate to release Barnabas and to put Jesus to death. This road has taken a different turn. It has lead to a different destination. Isaiah in our passage today--writes perhaps 600 years before Jesus, yet Isaiah's words are both prophetic and descriptive. Isaiah paints the portrait of the suffering servant as one who's back will be beaten--His beard plucked out, who's face would be spat upon and who will be mocked--all of those things happened to Jesus. All of that and more and why? Because the road that Jesus trot was the same road He had always walked, it was the road to humility, of love, of patience, of hope, of encouragement, it was the way of salvation, not the way of an empire. It was the way of the kingdom, not of the king. It was the road to the glory, not to government. It was the way of righteousness, not of wrong. The weary and turned away in their confusion, anger and fear those on Sunday who had welcomed Jesus as their new Messiah to be, by Friday had turned on Him. Weary of disappointment, weary of themselves, and weary of their lives and being so tired of all that they could not control, they cried out for vengeance that they could control. If Jesus would not be their king, then let's be rid of Him, they said. But Isaiah had written 6 centuries before that, this servant of God knew the word that sustains the weary. The word was come unto Me, all that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. And so when the road in Jerusalem changed from triumph to torture, Jesus stayed on it. When the shouting of the crowds moved from joy to judgement--Jesus stayed on it. When the mood of the multitude switched from adoration to accusation, Jesus didn't flinch--when the road became rough, steep and lonely, Jesus kept on going. And though the weary turned away, Jesus did not. His word will sustain the weary and give rest to the restless. Provide peace to the strive torn. His word was His life, His journey, His sacrifice, His violent death, His sinless life, His self giving love that is the road of this week. A road that takes us to where Jesus has been. A road that leads to the cross.
I don't know about you but some times there is a turn in the road. When you are at the alter with your spouse, and the honeymoon has begun. Then there is a turn in the road, don't give up just trust God. If Jesus has stopped, and He could have. We all have a turn in the road, in our marriages, on our jobs, in our finances, in our health. God will and can deliver us! What do you do when there is a turn in the road.? Call on Jesus, He came to restore us. Letting us know that God's grace is sufficient. That He will never leave nor forsake us! A turn in a road, thou He slays me, yet will I trust Him. Hold on like never before! God will not and does not lie! The devil comes to steal, kill and destroy! We shall reap the harvest if we faint not! We are to endure until the end. Put on the whole armor of God. The turn in the road, hold on and keep pressing when there is a turn in the road. Jesus rides into praise later, the same crowd cries out to crucify Him. Fiveamprayer, we have to get up and give Him some praise!! To God be the glory! Every turn in the road hidden to us, is already prepared for by God. God is with us--we shall fear no evil! He is with us, though we are in the valley, our Shepherd is with us! He has given us a spirit of power, love and a sound mind. Joy of the Lord is our strength. Keep on walking, trusting and pressing in. Turn in the road, that you didn't plan on but God! Trust Him, He knows plans that He has for us. His grace is sufficient for your turn in the road! We are to line up and keep walking in His word. So many of us are suffering with this turn in the road. We serve a God who has the power to resurrect. We lift up prayer requests those known and unknown--we lift up fiveamprayer for healing, reconciliation, in marriages, in your singleness for a godly mate. He is Jehovah Jireh in our finances, He sits high and looks low. We repent for wanting to give up, and saying forget it. Give us the strength to continue. He is the way--He orders our steps in His word. Thank You Lord! Thank You for the turn in the road. All honor, glory and praise to Your name! It is through Him that we can do all things! Our God makes us better, wiser and stronger! This turn in the road in for our good. It just gets gooder and gooder with every turn.

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: Genesis32:24-26 24) And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. 25) And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 26) And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

How Do We Test The Spirits?

1 John 4:1; Ephesians 6:12; 2 Corinthians 11:14-15; John 8:44(NIV); Matthew 7:15-16(NIV); Genesis 32:24-26; 2 Corinthians 10:5; Philippians 4:8; Psalm 19:14

We are walking in today:  How Do We Test The Spirits?


1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.  The Bible warns us, dear friend do not believe every spirit but to test the spirit to see whether they are from God because many false prophets have gone out into the world.  Too often we forget that we live in a spiritual war zone.  Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.  The devil will try to mislead you and show himself as being the truth.  2 Corinthians 11:14-15 14) And it is no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light; 15) So it is not surprising if his servants also masquerade as ministers of righteousness. [But] their end will correspond with their deeds.  Remember that deception is his only weapon.  The enemy is the father of all lies and he has no good intentions on our behalf.  John 8:44(NIV) You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.  No wonder that the Apostle John encouraged us to test the spirits.  The content of his warning was false prophets.  Jesus warned us against those as well, Matthew 7:15-16(NIV) 15) “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16) By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?  If you believe in a non Biblical prophet, put the prophet to the test!  However the testing of spirits is not limited to prophets, but to anything that is spiritual.  How can you test them?  Here are a few tests that will guarantee you if those spirits are from God or not.  The first test is given by the Apostle John himself, in the context of testing the spirits in 1 John 4:2-3--this is how you can recognize the spirit of God.  Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God.  But every spirit that doesn't acknowledge that Jesus is not come in the flesh is not from God, it is the spirit of the antichrist which you have heard is coming and is now already here in the world.  The first test is to make sure that the spirit acknowledges that Jesus has come into the world.  The second, test is that the Spirit of God, speaks in accordance to God's word, the Bible.  He acknowledges it's authority, John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.  Amen!
Fiveamprayer, we need to know that God is calling us up higher.  They that worship Him, must worship Him in spirit and in truth!  The devil is still a liar and he wants to disguise your season.  We have to recognize these spirits that are not of God.  We were made spiritual first, God is not mocked, He sits high and looks low.  Our weapons are mighty to the pulling down of strongholds, they are not carnal.  We are not wrestling against flesh and blood, but against high powers and principalities.  Fiveamprayer put on the whole armor of God, the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, wearing the shoes of the gospel of peace, holding the shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and sword of the spirit--be ready and prepared to fight this devil!  God is revealing all things unto us!  We are to have a Christ-like mind and know what you are going up against.  The devil has deception--it is his only weapon.  We are to not only watch and pray but to also guard our hearts.  When His Spirit is upon us, we can do more things!  Because of who resides on the inside of us!  Recognize the spirit, when attacks are coming against you.  It is by His Spirit, He told us that there would be a time that His Spirit will be poured out on all flesh.  It is time for you to know who you are and who's you are!  God is still alive!  Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty!  When the Spirit of God is present, the devil can not reside.  Get on one accord, in unity there is commanded blessings.  Do you know how to test the spirits and seek Him?  God is not a man, that He should lie.  There are spirits that are on assignment to take you out.  The devil is still a liar!  No matter what you are faced with, God is more than able!  Forget about your carnal mind!  God is always right there, leading and guiding us.  We are to pray in the Spirit, He knows what to ask.  We lift up fiveamprayer to know how to test the spirits and to walk in their God given authority.  There is no weapon that is formed against us that shall prosper!  We lift up prayer requests, those known and unknown.  We lift up Carlys for Your hand to move in her financial situation.  She is holding on to You being her provider, not the money!  We lift up Amara who is having tubes placed in his ear, we stand on by Your stripes, he is already healed!  We come to ask for forgiveness and to repent for not listening to the Holy Spirit and moving when He said to be still or speaking when He said to be quiet.  Thank You God for casting our sins into the sea that they be remembered no more!  Thank You God for teaching us how to forgive others, that we are forgiven also.  Thank You for Your word--it is not by power, nor might but by His Spirit!

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:  Genesis 32:24-26
24) And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. 25) And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 26) And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

Welcome to the overflow...

Hallelujah God!  We hold onto your word, steadfast and unmovable!  Show us Your glory!  We can do all things through Christ, which strengthens us!  We operate in the spirit!  Our weapons are not carnal but spiritual--mighty to the pulling down of strongholds!  We are not wrestling against flesh and blood, you gotta know who you are fighting!  Operate in the Spirit, fiveamprayer!  If you are trying to fight carnally, you will be taken out by everything!  When the Spirit of the Lord shows up, there is nothing that we can't do.  We are to pray without ceasing!  He has already made a way out for us!  When the Spirit comes upon you, you can walk in dominion and authority!  It is by His Spirit!  God put something on the inside of you a long time ago.  We have to try the spirit to see if they are of God or not.  We will know the tree by the fruit that it bears.  Thank You for showing us how to test the spirits.  He has been so good--preparing us for this fight.  We must stand in unity and recognizing the spirits.  It is not that person, it is the spirit on the person.  Fiveamprayer we are to stand on this scripture--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.  The devil is a deceiver, he will try to get you to think about all kinds of things, appealing to your carnal mind.  We know that we are to cast off our natural mind and take on the mind of Christ.  God even tells us what to think on, to feed our spiritual man.  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.  You have heard the saying you are what you eat.  How about you are what you think and say?  He creates the fruit of our lips.  You usually are already thinking about what you are going to say before it even comes out of your mouth.  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.  There are things in the supernatural that can only be gotten by the spirit.  Ask for the Spirit of the Lord to rise up on the inside.  Especially when you are facing something that challenges your old carnal responses.  Thank You God for this restful and peaceful week in Your presence.  God wants us to see this thing in the spirit!  We are to chase this devil out!!  Come on and stand on one accord and have a mind like Christ.  You are not fighting your spouse in your marriage, you have got to know how to fight this devil!  We are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds!  Ask the Spirit of the Lord to help you!  He gives us a peace that surpasses all understanding.  Jesus us left us with the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, call on Him!  He is on the inside of you!  Walk in the spirit, look at this with spiritual eyes.  We must stop speaking carnal, things out of our mouths!!  No more wavering in the flesh or carnality.  Fiveamprayer, we have got to know how to test the spirits.  The devil is still a liar, he is the father of all lies!    We are not to be deceived, speak God's word and stand on God's word!  Thank You God!  They that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth!  Crucify your flesh today!  Pay attention, today the devil will bring all kinds of things against you.  Will you humble yourself when they come?  It is the Lord that will lift you up!  The Spirit of the Lord is our anchor for our souls!  We may rock but are not blown out of position!  Thank You Lord!  Rest in the Spirit, that we can do all things through Christ which strengthens us and greater is He that is within us, than he that is in this world (Philippians 4:13, 1 John 4:4).  Those two scriptures are referring to the Spirit of the Lord.  Thank You Lord for Your Spirit and leaving us with the Comforter!  Thank You for all of the brothers and sisters on this line.  We lift them up to You.  Rest in His Spirit, there is joy and peace.  He is refreshing us in the spirit.  Breathe on us and revive us Holy Spirit!  Crucify your flesh, fiveamprayer and walk in the spirit.  Have a supernaturally blessed day!

Let Go Of Your Natural Mind.


Philippians 2:1-5;Colossians 1:16-17; 2 Corinthians 10:5; 1 Corinthians 2:16; Genesis 2:7; John 4:23; Zechariah 4:6; Isaiah 54:17; Romans 15:6; 1 Corinthians 1:10; Philippians 4:7; 2 Kings 3:17; Isaiah 43:19; Numbers 16:30; Job 8:7; Isaiah 60:22; Genesis 32:24-26

We are walking in today:  Let Go Of Your Natural Mind.


Philippians 2:1-5 1) If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2) Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3) Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4) Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5) Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.  Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.  Be in agreement, know where you stand and have the mind of Christ!  Paul told the Philippine Christians that they not only got to believe on Christ, but they had the privilege of suffering for Christ also.  And Paul reminds them that he is in prison for the gospel and tells them to stand firm and live a life worthy of the gospel.  Here in chapter 2, Paul is cheering them on in their attempt to stand firm and live worthy lives.  In Philippians 3:1-2, Paul goes through a laundry list of reminders to give them hope.  For Paul the thing that will make him joyful is for the Philippians to be like minded.   He goes on to explain that the like mindedness means having the same love, the same spirit, the same purpose--Paul has already told them in Philippians 1:6-7 that it is right for me to feel this way about you.  The Greek word in the NIV, translates feel this way from the root verb, which means mindset.  The way one thinks about or predisposition to something.  It is the same word that Paul uses here to encourage them to be like minded.  It is the same word he will use when He says let the mind--which is the attitude, be in you that was in Christ Jesus.  It is also the same word that he uses in Philippians 4:2 when he encourages 2 women in the church who are quarreling, to be of the same mind, to agree with each other.  This is the idea of like mindedness.  It is important to Paul, he sees is as the key to unity in the church.  Paul pleads with them if you have any encouragement from being united in Christ, any comfort from His love, any fellowship with His Spirit, any tenderness and compassion--then make my joy complete by being like minded.  Paul is pulling out all of the stops here to get them to come together.  Paul in Philippians 1:30, has previously appealed to his suffering, since you are going through the same struggles, you saw I had and now here that I have.  Paul wants the Philippians to know that he understands what they are going through, he understands--his persecution and what it means to stand firm.  He understands how difficult it is to live a life worthy of the gospel.  He is an example to them.  But then Paul also wants them to make his joy full and complete.  As their community becomes like minded and so Paul gives them the ultimate example to follow the example of Christ.  I love how the King James reads, let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.  Philippians 2:5  Be like minded with Christ.  Have the same attitude, same mindset the same predisposition to others.  Have the mind of Christ.  Paul also gives the Philippians concrete instructions on what the mind of Christ--did not grasp or hold on to His heavenly position for personal benefits.  He made Himself nothing, literally emptying--Himself in the image of pouring out a bottle, until it was empty.  He took a servants form, human likeliness, humbled Himself, became obedient until death, even the death on the cross.  So if you want to know what the mindset Jesus had, it was giving up, letting go, pouring out Himself for others--Paul goes on to say that because of that mindset, God rightly exalted Jesus, giving Him a name that is above every name.  And at the name of Jesus, every knee will bow in heaven, earth and under the earth.  In other words, Jesus had the attitude He did, the mindset God placed in Him is the highest place in all of heaven and all of the world, living in all the world of the dead, recognizing that Jesus, the Messiah is Lord to the glory of God, our Father in the name of Jesus!
It's time to lay aside your natural mind and take on the mind of Christ!  We are to set down our mindset and walk in His mindset.  Let us have the response of Christ, not our will, but Thy will be done Lord.  No matter what you are looking at, fiveamprayer we are to look to the hills because our help comes from the Lord!  Let His will be done in our marriages, children, jobs, and finances!  We have to have a made up mind to travel through this wilderness.  God is taking us through to bring us out stronger and trusting Him even more!  Let go of your natural mind, it will try to drive you crazy.  We are spiritual and can not give too much attention to the things in the natural--Colossians 1:16-17 16)For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17) And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.  So fiveamprayer what are you looking towards, the creation or the Creator?  Let go of your natural mind, we are to have the mind of Christ.  We are to stand with other believers to get through the wilderness.  The race is not given to the swift but to those that endure until the end!  We have to trust and believe that God is more than able!  We have to walk this out by faith and not by sight.  Without faith it is impossible to please God--as children of the King we want our Father to be pleased with us!  We need to have faith like Abraham, like Moses, like Joshua, like Mary, Like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.  Let go of your natural mind!  What you see is only temporary!  God has already made a way for you!  We have to pull it down from the spiritual into the natural.  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.  1 Corinthians 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.  Many of us are over thinking or over processing what we see in the natural.  The enemy wants us to get caught up in our jobs, unemployment, finances--we know that God is the provider, not the money!  Don't get caught up in doubt or fear!  Let go of our natural mind, it is too easily swayed by what is going on in the natural to remain stable.  We are spirit covered in flesh--Genesis 2:7 (AMP) Then the Lord God formed man from the [a]dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath or spirit of life, and man became a living being.  John 4:23 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.  Zechariah 4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.  Fiveamprayer, let go of your natural mind!  No matter what the doctor is saying, let go of your natural mind.  Some of us are facing the courthouse today, let go of your natural mind.  Others have their finances under attack, let go of your natural mind!  The natural mind has no real power, we have to look to God and His word--Isaiah 54:17 (AMP) But no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall show to be in the wrong. This [peace, righteousness, security, triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord [those in whom the ideal Servant of the Lord is reproduced]; this is the righteousness or the vindication which they obtain from Me [this is that which I impart to them as their justification], says the Lord.  That is why God asked us yesterday who we are with--who is on the Lord's side?!  Romans 15:6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.   1 Corinthians 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.  Our thoughts, vision and focus should be to Christ, the Author and Finisher of our faith!  Who for the joy set before Him, despised the shame and sits at the right hand of the Father.  This same man was whipped all night long, crucified and rose three days later, with all power of heaven and earth in His hands.  Our God is more than able!  No matter how it looks to us.  It seems like a huge mountain when you look at it with you natural mind.  Take on the mind of Christ who was there at the very beginning--really it is not all that big.  There is nothing too hard for our God!  Cast off the old ways and thoughts, they did not benefit you anything!  Let go of your natural mind!  God is able to do all things!  2 Kings 3:17 For thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.  How many days did we call on God to bless us indeed?  That means anyway Lord!  So that means it may not be familiar to you, nor does it have to be.  Let go of your natural mind and let God be God!  Isaiah 43:19 (AMP) Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.  The new thing that God is doing will let everyone know that it was God!  Numbers 16:30 But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD.  So let us trust that God is in control and knows what He is doing.  His plans don't and won't be pre-approved by us.  Nor can we help Him figure it out--it is already done and finished!!  Our job is to take on the mind of Christ and renew or minds daily with His word.  No matter how it looks--Job 8:7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.  Isaiah 60:22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.  God is the ultimate multi-tasker, surely He sees and knows what you are facing.  But are you facing He who is able to keep you from falling, while preparing you for the way He has already arranged?!  He is omnipotent, nothing escapes His notice, not even the turmoil you are going through.  Thank the Lord that what we are in, is what we are coming out of.  God is not leaving you in that situation--you will come out stronger, better and wiser.  Able to minister to others in the same situation that He brought you out of.  You will be able to give Him all of the glory for the victory!  Because you really don't know how God did it, but He did!  You did not see a way, but you looked to God and the way was revealed to you!  Thank You God for letting us know that we can lose our minds and take up Yours!   We lift up fiveamprayer this morning, have them to truly cast down their thoughts, ideas and intellect and take up the mind of Christ.  We need a new way of thinking, we can take on a righteous mind--because of what Christ did for us!  Let go of what you see in the natural, fiveamprayer!  Hold on to your righteous mind!  We come to ask for Your forgiveness and thank You for casting our sins into the sea, that they are remembered no more.  Let us forgive ourselves and others that we are forgiven by the Father.  Let go of your natural mind!

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:  Genesis 32:24-26 24) And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.25) And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 26) And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

Welcome to the overflow...

Hallelujah!  Glory to Your name, Lord!  Let go of your natural mind to be able to hold on to like Jacob!  To be able to see God's hand moving in your marriages, singleness, finances, healing--let go of your natural mind!  Let this mind be in you which is in Christ Jesus!  We are to be Christ minded.  God is pulling us together, now is not the time to walk by yourself!  1 can chase a 1,000 and 2 can chase 10,000!  The devil knows that we are in the last days and we can't do this thing alone!  Find another believer to stand with you, speaking God's word over every situation!  We are more than overcomers, more than conquers!  Let go of your mind, those thoughts that say that you aren't gonna make it.  Look to the spirit!  We are to worship Him in spirit and in truth!  Fiveamprayer we are to walk in the Spirit of God!  Let go of this natural mind, we are not of this world!  We are transformed by the renewing of our minds!  He has already made a way for us--God has gone ahead of us!  We praise Your name Lord!  You are so amazing, so awesome!  God has been better to us than we have been to ourselves!  It is already done in the spirit!  We are to walk it out, let go of your natural mind!  He keeps us in perfect peace with our minds stayed on Him!  Let this mind be in you, the mind of Christ.  He bore the cross for the joy set before Him and now sits at the right hand of the Father.  At His name every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that He is Lord!  God has already created a way of us!  Let go to the natural mind, trust and believe God!  Thank You Lord!  I will let go of my natural mind, thank You for giving us a mind like Christ!  Let go of your natural mind, fiveamprayer!  Hallelujah!  Visit us on facebook, it will encourage you!  What did God say, it is already done in the spirit!  Have a blessed day!

Who Are You With?


Joshua 5:13; 2 Kings 6:16-17; Ruth 1:16-17; Exodus 32:26; Romans 8:31; Numbers 23:19; Genesis 32:24-26

We are walking in today: 
Who Are You With?

Joshua 5:13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?  Joshua went and asked the man with his sword drawn, if he was for or against the children of Israel.  Yesterday God had us walking in walking in agreement and then today we have, who are you with?  Fiveamprayer we have to understand that there is more with us than there are with them--2 Kings 6:16-17 16) And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. 17) And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.  Fiveamprayer, who are you with?!  In the natural depending on who you are with, determines what you get.  For example, entourages, birds of a feather and children of the King.  We are children of the King--who are with Him!  He has told us that this is our make it happen moment, in response to our, I will not spirit!  We must be like Ruth--Ruth 1:16-17 16) And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: 17) Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.  Now on last Friday God gave us a door of opportunity and put a seal on it!  Thank You Lord for letting us know that we have been sealed and for teaching us to walk in Your authority!  You said in 2012, this is year of authority, that we will see!  Thank You Lord!  Let us have a response like Ruth: where ever You, we will go, that we will live where You, live--no matter what we will stand on the word of God!  Continue standing in agreement with what God said!    Yea and Amen!
This is a personal question fiveamprayer, who are you with?  Exodus 32:26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.  Who is it that you are gathered with?  Are you caught up in self and the things carnal?  Are you standing with the Spirit of the Lord?  Are you standing on His word?  Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?  We should be standing on Genesis to Revelation!  There is nothing that can come against us because of who our Father is!  The enemy comes to plant seeds of doubt in your mind.  Don't be afraid.  We are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds!  Who are you with?  Are we truly standing on His word?  Let us not be lukewarm, God will spit us out of His mouth.  Where are you standing, are you lining up with His word!?  Are you in agreement with God?  Are you in agreement with His word?  Our Father can do all things, why look anywhere else?  He is our Provider and the lover of our souls!  He has done it for us before and will do it again!  Fiveamprayer, keep standing on His promises!  We will stand on the word of God!  We will believe in the word of God!  We will trust in the word of God!  I'm talking about Jehovah Jireh, who are you with?  I'm talking about Alpha and Omega, who are you with?
  I'm talking about the One who can part the Red Sea, the One that still makes miracles, the One who can open up the eyes of the blind and scales just fall off the eyes.  God loved us before we loved ourselves!  He sent His only begotten Son to redeem us while we were yet sinners!  Thank You Lord for loving us so much to restore us back to You!  Thank You for Your grace and mercy--that is why we are not consumed!  Who are you with?  Who is on the Lord's side!  Tell the devil, that I am on the Lord's side!  No matter what I am faced with!  It is the Lord that makes a way out of no way!  He goes before us and makes the crooked places straight.  We are to stand on His word!  No matter what we are facing or looking at--stand therefore!  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?  We are to walk this out, stop getting in doubt!  We must crucify our flesh daily!  Walk in what God has for you!  He has promised to never leave nor forsake us!  We are never alone!  Who are you with?!  God is taking us through, to bring us out!  Where do you stand?  Stop operating in your emotions!!  These are the same emotions that change as the wind blows.  Stand on the stable and sure word of God!  Look to God, He changes not!  Who are you with?  Gird yourself up, put on the whole armor of God that you will be able to stand against the devil!  The Lord is our Shepherd we shall not want!  Where do you stand?!  God said let the wheat and the tares come up together, and He will do the separating (Matthew 13).  Who is on the Lord's side?!  God is calling for a people who will stand, no matter what they are facing--in their marriages, in your family, and on their jobs.  That you will keep standing on His word!  Who are you with?  His grace is sufficient!  We will still stand on His word!   He is Jehovah Jireh and keeps on providing for us!  Joshua is asking, who are you with?  I need to know are you for me or against me?  Are you standing in agreement with Him and His word?  You know that there is power in agreement!  Who are you with?  You need to ask for discernment for the things that are going on in your life, that you are not clear about.  Ask God some questions so He can clear some things up for you.  Who are you with?  The enemy comes to attack us in our minds.  Don't waiver!  Stand. Trust. Believe.  Believe His word!  It fails not!  Tell the devil, I am on the Lord's side!  If God said it, I will put a amen on it!  That seals it for me, that I stand in agreement with His word.  That amen is letting my flesh know who's side I am on, the Lord's!  God is true to His word--it can never be reversed nor come back void.  Say amen to the things that God is doing in your life.  We know that all things work together for the good of them that love the Lord and are called according to His purpose!  So right there we know that God has already has a way out for us!  He had this all in His plans!  This is not a surprise to Him!!  He is from everlasting to everlasting that is the best vision that you can have!  The vision that sees the end from the very beginning!  Amen!  Thank You Lord!  Say amen, even if you loose it all, God is able to restore back to us, even things that we did not have before!  That is the God that we serve!  Oh how the Father loves us so much that when we truly repent and return to Him, He gives us the best robe!  Thank You Lord!  As Pastor Taffe has been teaching on the prodigal son from Luke 15--God is reaching out to us in love.  Who are you with?!  Amen, to Your glory and grace!  Amen to all that You are doing in my life!  Say amen, you know all that God has done in your life!  He has never left us!  He didn't have to die for us--but He did!  Thank You Lord!  There is still power in the blood!  Say amen, that we are not overtaken!!  He has made us overcomers and conquers!  Test and trials will come but He has already made a way of escape for us!   We are still here, amen!  Thank You Lord for keeping us, amen!  Hallelujah to Your word!  Fiveamprayer will stand on His word, amen!  We know who we are with, amen!  The Lord is our Shepherd and we shall not want, amen!  That the Lord will bless us indeed, amen!  We lift up prayer requests those known and unknown.  We lift up Sharon Kidd for all that she has lifted up to You, that You have already covered all of those things.  That we can call them already done and finished, amen!  We ask for Your forgiveness, Lord!  We need to be repenting daily for what we have done, even our thoughts that we think--repentance should be a daily thing, amen.  We must cast down imagination and those things that would attempt to exalt itself against the high knowledge of God, amen!  Thank You for forgiving us with no condemnation, amen.  That You would cast our sins into the sea, that they be remembered no more!  People don't always forgive like that.  Let us learn of God and forgive like He does, that we are forgiven also, amen.  God loves us so much, amen!

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: 
Genesis 32:24-26 24) And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. 25) And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 26) And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

Welcome to the overflow...

I will not let Thee go until You bless me--amen!  Who are you with?  We serve a God of grace and mercy!  He has already made a way out of our situations, amen!  God will show Himself mighty, He will show Himself strong.  He will show Himself awesome in the mist of the storm, amen!  Are you really walking with God?!  When test and trials come will your response be, thou He slays me, yet will I trust Him, amen.  We are to lean not to our own understandings, amen.  Stand on His word, not your feelings or intellect.  Who are you with?!  Everyone who says Lord, Lord is not necessarily walking with the Lord (Matthew 7).  Get in agreement with other brothers and sisters in Christ.  You have to also know who you are walking with!  God will show up with one word to bless you, amen.  He is hastening to His word to preform it.  Visit us on facebook, it will encourage you, amen.  Walk in this word today, and let your spirit man say amen no matter what the test or trial!  Have a blessed day, fiveamprayer!  Amen!

Be In Agreement With God's Word.

Amos 3:3; Mark 7:26-29; John 14:23; Matthew 8:17; Isaiah 55:11; Jeremiah 1:12; Psalm 103:22; Hebrews 4:12; Matthew 8:27; Proverbs 4:22; Habakkuk 2:3; Matthew 26:73; Malachi 3:10; Isaiah 61:7; John 1:3; Numbers 23:19; Job 8:7; Genesis 32:26

We are walking in today:  Be In Agreement With God's Word.


Amos 3:3
Can two walk together, except they be agreed?   This morning I want to talk about the power of God's word and about being in agreement with His word.  I want to talk about God's word and our words.  In Mark 7:26-29, Jesus told a woman for this saying, go thy way the devil has gone out of thy daughter.  The words of her mouth were instrumental in her receiving the blessing.  Jesus said in John 14:23, if a man loves me he will keep my words.  John 1:1-5, tells us that all things were created by the word of God!  That's right!!  The word of God has creative power!  We find here that God's word is as much apart of God as God is apart of His word.  God and His word can not be separated.  God has the power to create, so does His word.  In Genesis 1 we find God creating  by saying at least 9 times with, God said.  You will also find at least 5 times the sentence, and it was so.  I really like that--and God said and it was so.  There is also another phrase that is repeated, it was good.  God said it was so, and it was good!  That sounds like gooder and gooder to me!  This chapter ends by saying behold--it was very good!  Gooder and gooder!  I said all of that to make a point--God can create by His word.  God and His word are united!  You can lean, on God's word just the same as you can lean on Him.  You can also rest on the promises of God the same way you can rest on His bosom.  We can act on the written word of God as if He had just spoken it.  By that I mean if I need finances I can take Philippians 4:19 into my heart as if the Lord had just said it to me!  If I need healing I can take Matthew 8:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.  This scripture I can take to heart, like God just spoke it!  God's word has not lost it's creative power!  It is still so, it is still very good.  It is you and I that have lost something God said--Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.  Jeremiah 1:12 Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.  When Abraham believed God's promise for a son, he was launching out by faith into the realm of the impossible.  He was taking a hold of God's word for something that was beyond the reach of the carnal reasoning.  Can I tell you something?  If you can only believe incurable diseases, like AIDS and accidents, where death seems to be the master, are all subject to the word of God--is not God in control of all things?  Doesn't He have dominion over the whole earth?!  Psalm 103:22 Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.  So why do you fail and suffer want?!  Many times we fail or are defeated because we don't cause our words to line up and match with God's word.  The Bible says, can two walk together, less they be agreed?  To always to talk of failure, when God has promised success, is the same as speaking in unbelief of God's ability to perform His word.  Some times actions speak louder than words.  Our words and our actions should agree!  In the beginning, God called things that were not into being.  Those spoken things, leaped into existence.  Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.  I just wanted to tell you today that God's word  has the power to loose you from any prison that satan has you in!  God can also free you from any situation that your disobedience has gotten you in.  When Jonah was in the belly of the fish, the Bible says the Lord spoke and the fish vomited up Jonah out into dry land  (Jonah 2:10).  In John 11, Lazarus was dead, the tomb had his body and death had his spirit, but when Jesus spoke death and the grave has to release Him!  Matthew 8:27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!  Proverbs 4:22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.  Whatever you are facing, God's word is more powerful!  More powerful than you circumstances, hold on to His word, it fails not!  We must line up our words with His words!  We must get ourselves in alignment with God's word.  Fiveamprayer, it is time to get in agreement with what God has spoken.  Regardless of what reasoning or the world says--what did God say about it?!  Look at that, God has already spoken all that we would ever need--He has it already prepared, it is already finished!  God is not running to prepare the way, it is already made, created, spoken!  God's word is just as relevant then as it is now.  His word is much like Him, omnipotence and omnipresent!  Hold on to God's word, it will carry us through, in the name of Jesus!  Amen and glory to His name!
You better get in agreement with His word!  If God told you He will show you reconciliation in your marriage, even if all hell is breaking loose--you hold on to His word!!  If God told you He was showing up in your marriage, you need to be in agreement with His word!  Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord!  No matter what your spouse is doing--hold on and line up with His word!  Call up your prayer partner, and have them to touch and agree with you.  God said it the two of you would touch and agree, He will show up!  Be in agreement with God's word!  If God called you to do it, He will bring you through it!  If God said it, He will deliver you!  We have got to let our words line up with His words.  If God says that you are mighty, anointed, powerful and He has called you to a whole new level, in Him--start walking in it!  Right now!!  Wait and see the manifestation as you being to walk by faith and not by sight!  God is calling you to a new level in Him--trusting Him more, while He is strengthening and growing your faith.  We must walk in agreement with God's word!  That is what He is watching over to perform.  That is what He wrapped in flesh to save us!  That is what has created all things!  It is His word that has will come to pass, and be made manifest in our lives!  Habakkuk 2:3(AMP) For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day.  What did God say about your health?  What did He say about your marriage?  What did He said about your finances?  What did God say about your children?  Are you in agreement with His word?!  Will you stand on and speak His word only?  Will others around you, accuse you like they did Peter?  Matthew 26:73(AMP) After a little while, the bystanders came up and said to Peter, You certainly are one of them too, for even your accent betrays you.  The people around Peter knew who he was with.  It should be evidenced who you are with by how you are walking, trusting, believing and speaking in the word of God!  God has given us His word in Malachi 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.  This is all possible when we line up with His word, walk in agreement with His word.  That in being patient and trusting in Him we will see the double and have everlasting joy--Isaiah 61:7.  Fiveamprayer we shall have a 1000 fold return!  Hold on to His everlasting arms!  John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.  Hold on a little while longer!  Abraham launched out in his faith, believing God, not looking to natural ability.  He also staggered not when God asked him to sacrifice Isaac, he knew that there was a promise connected to his son.  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?  Our God makes good everything that He has ever spoken or will speak!!  Thank You God!!  This is a divine destiny connection, many of us have not laid our eyes on each other, but we stand in agreement getting up early seeking His face.  How can two walk together less they be agreed?!  Fiveamprayer is walking in agreement, seeking after His word!  In unity there is commanded blessings!  That is why prayer is so important!  We are to pray without ceasing!  Don't you know we are always fighting the devil?  The enemy does not take a break!  We must be like wise--in constant prayer!  This is the year that we will see!  Be in agreement with God's word!  What did God say?  He would never leave us nor forsake us!  We have come this far leaning on His word.  Stand on His word.  Job 8:7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase. He said that 2012 is our year of authority and power--hold on!  God is gonna do it!  Be in agreement with His word!  Stand on His word!  Some of us are out of alignment, wandering all over the road.  Just like there are some cars that have technology that lets you know when you are not in your lane, God does the same when we look at our lives and do not see alignment with His word.  Get back on the word!  We are to walk in His word, as Pastor Taffe has taught, if you are not walking on His word than the cursed ground is affecting you!  We are no longer of the curse because we are in Christ.  What are you standing on?  What are you aligning yourself with?  Stand on and speak His word only!  The same word that testifies was good, is good and it was so!  God gets gooder and gooder!  Thank You Lord!  Give Him glory and praise!  Fiveamprayer is in agreement with His word!  We lift up fiveamprayer to line up with His word!  Keep seeking, asking and knocking!  We lift up prayer requests those known and unknown.  If we would just stand and hold on to His word of healing--by His stripes the world is healed, because there is a balm in Gilead!  Lord we come asking for forgiveness, that we don't always line up with Your word.  Still seeking an answer when You have already spoken, still in prayer, fasting and seeking godly council.  We thank You Lord for forgiving us without condemnation!  Teach us how to forgive like you, that we are forgiven and our prayers are not hindered!

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: 
Genesis 32:26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

Welcome to the overflow...

Glory to Your name!  Fiveamprayer is walking in agreement with His word!  If You blessed Jabez, I know that You will bless us indeed!  Jabez prayed and God granted him that which he requested!  We are gonna walk in Jacob--we won't let go until You bless us!  Get in agreement with His word!  God is opening up a window and pouring out blessings that there is not room enough to receive!  What a mighty God that we serve--on a mighty Monday morning!  Give Him praise and glory!  Because He is just that good!  It was good, it was very good!  He will hasten to His word to preform it.  Come into agreement with His word!  Hallelujah!  Thank You God!  Visit us on facebook, it will encourage you!  Walk in agreement with His word from Genesis to Revelation, get yourself in alignment!!  Line up with His word and walk this out by faith!  Have a mighty Monday!  Thank You God!

God has opened the door and sealed it.

1 Corinthians16:9; Isaiah 48:17; Psalm 25:12; Romans 10:17; Genesis 32:26

We are walking in today: God has opened the door and sealed it.

1 Corinthians 16:9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries. This why the devil is pressing you so hard. A great door, an effectual is open unto you. This is the breaking in the atmosphere--God opened the door and sealed it by the blood of Jesus--the one and only way! Come on now.--watch out about thinking in terms of open and closed doors. Remember that open and closed doors rank very low in the list of the ways of knowing the will of God. The problem with it is, it is almost impossible to really say at the moment, the door opens or closes. Whether it was God who did the opening or closing. When we speak of a door we are talking about an entrance to something. However, what we are really speaking is a particular kind of door. We are looking for what Paul calls a great and effectual door. In other words, we are looking for an entrance into a great opportunity. This same scripture reads like this in the New King James--for a great and effecticve door has opened unto me and there are many adversaries. In life many doors open and close. This has no importance. We aren't looking for any door, we are looking for the door of opportunity. And we are not focused on the door, forget the door--an entrance somewhere and think opportunity. A chance for good or even great things to happen in God! Doors open and close all around us! Forget about this movement of opening and closing--think about opportunity in seeing the door opening. Be asking the Lord is there an opportunity in this door opening? Like wise is seeing a door closing, be asking the Lord is there an opportunity to be had in this door closing? In that it moves me along to where a door of opportunity maybe about to open. In other words--it's God's guidance we need. It is God's discernment we need to be able to recognize as Paul did, when a door is a great and effectual door, or just a door doing what doors do--opening and closing. Isaiah 48:17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. Psalm 25:12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. We aren't to observe the opening and closing of doors and summarize that movement is a sign from the Lord. We are to seek the Lord for His guidance, by His Spirit. We are to hear His voice whispering in our hearts. What is the way to go? For example--the Lord declares to the prophet Isaiah , your ears shall hear a word behind you saying this is the way--walk in it. When ever you turn to the right hand or when ever you turn to the left (Isaiah 30:21). God has opened the door for you in the atmosphere. Through the prayer of Jabez, O that thou would bless me indeed. He has put a seal on the door through Jacob, I won't let go until You bless me! This is the year that you will see! God has opened the door and put a seal on it!
So you know right now that God is gonna bless you like never before! Because there is an opportunity in God opening the door for you. I'm talking about guiding you to all wisdom, knowledge and understanding. God is taking us higher and higher in His word. He has opened the door and put a seal on it. He has enlarged our territory, fiveamprayer! God will grant us what we have requested! Don't let go until He blesses you! We are walking in His grace and His mercy, there will be a overflow of blessings in your life! Overflow of blessings in your marriage, finances, and children--it is all ready done in the spirit! That is why the devil is moving against you rapidly because there is an open door. This door God will seal with the blood of Jesus, that no weapon formed against you shall prosper! Similar to the children of Israel when they were in Egypt they were instructed to put blood on the door posts and above the door and to stay within the house. The seal of the blood kept them safe from the destroyer--this is in Exodus chapter 12. There is still power in the blood! Thank You God for placing a seal on our door of opportunity once we walk through it! God has given us a door to bring us out with joy and peace. That is the one way! God is telling us to come--this is your make happen moment! We are coming into our overflow blessings--God is pouring out so much so that there is not room enough to receive it! You better wake up for the shake up! Keep walking, don't stop, don't give up nor turn around. I will not give up on my faith! Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. So then we must keep God's word in our ears! What are you listening to? Let us continue in faith and hearing His word! He shows up everyday with brand new mercies! He has opened the door and put a seal on it! We have been praying that He would bless us indeed, for months! Now don't let go until He blesses you! Thank You God! It is already done and finished! He is the one way--Christ is the door! This is our make it happen moment! It is God that can shut a door that no man can open and open a door that no man can shut. He is the door to joy, peace and restoration! Give Him glory! Shout the victory right now!! He has opened a door that no man can shut! He has placed a door of opportunity before us and will seal us in once we cross over. This door is just for you! This is your make it happen moment! God opened the door and put a seal on it! Walk in it this weekend meditation, all weekend! In the natural they put seals on door for many reasons: crime scene, notices of eviction or condemned buildings, or even carpenters will put a sealant on the door to protect it to keep out the dry air or possible water damage. The seal that we have is like the latter one--a protectant to keep us intact as we were originally designed, by the Maker. Thank You Lord for showing us the door, that there is opportunity for us to walk through and for You to seal the door after us! Hallelujah! Fiveamprayer, the time for increase is now! The door of opportunity is open! That is the breaking in the atmosphere! It is already done in the spirit! We are waiting for it to manifest in the natural! We lift up prayer requests those known and unknown! We lift up the friend of Sharon Kidd for healing, we stand on by Your stripes he is healed. We also lift up Cheryl Sykes for traveling mercies as she is going to celebrate the homegoing of her cousin. Thank You Lord that we know that absence from the body is presence with the Lord. Lord we come to ask for forgiveness this morning. We must repent and turn away from our old ways. Let us only seek after the things that God has for us to do! Casting off everything that is of the flesh. Lord teach us how to forgive others that we be forgiven also!

And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

One Way.


John 14:6, 1:4 1:14, 1:17, 10:9; Romans 5:2; Ephesians 2:18; Hebrews 10:20; 1 John 5:20; John 15:13; Numbers 10:35; Deuteronomy 32:30; Amos 3:3

We are walking in today:  One Way.

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.  Has God said, is there deception any where?  Jesus said come because that is only one way.  John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.  John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.  John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.  One way--the only way.  John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.  Come, fiveamprayer, I AM at the door.  Romans 5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.  When you come--access is granted to the Father!  Ephesians 2:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.  Hebrews 10:20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;  1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.  This is the true God, the eternal light.  I AM the Way!  We have access to God only by obeying the instructions and imitating the example, being dependent on the merits of the Lord Jesus Christ.  He is the leader in the road, the guide to the wandering, teacher of the ignorant and example to all!  The truth, the sole force of truth.  He is the originator and communicator for the salvation of men.  Truth is the representation of the things as they are.  The light, the purity and teaching of Jesus is the most complete and perfect representation of the things of the eternal world that has been or can be presented to man.  The life of Jesus is the truth!  Jesus is the foundation of all truth.  That by His inspiration, the prophets spoke and by Him all truth is communicated to men.  No man comes to the Father but by Me.  To come to the Father--obtain favor to have access to His throne by prayer and finally to enter His kingdom!  No man can obtain any of these things except by the merits of the Lord Jesus Christ.  By coming by Him is meant, coming in His name--dependent on His merits.  We are ignorant and He alone can guide us!  We are sinful and it is only by His merits that we can be pardoned.  We are blind.  He is the only one that can enlighten us!  God has a plan and has appointed Him as the mediator.  And has ordained that all blessings shall decent to this world through Him.  Hence He has put the world under His control.  Has given the affairs of men into His hand and appointed Him to dispense whatever may be necessary for out peace, pardon, and salvation!  I AM the Way, that leads to the Father!  The truth that teaches the knowledge of God and directs in the way of life.  The life that emanates off all of those that seek Him and serve Him and which is to be enjoyed eternally at the end.  He  is the only way!
God was speaking to us--He said to come, yesterday.  There is only one way!  Through Christ Jesus!  He gives us peace that surpasses all understanding!  He is our Intercessor and Mediator!  He is the one way out of our situation.  We serve a mighty and faithful God.  No matter what is in going on, look to He who endured the cross! The blood that was shed for you and me!  His grace, unmerited favor!  You have been trying everything--lay aside every weight.  He is the Truth, the Way and the Life.  He is the only way out!  There is no other way, call on Jesus.  Fall on your face before Him, in your situation.  It seems so dark, we are to pray without ceasing.  He is our all and all!  He is everything to me!  There is no other way!  Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess to the Lord!  We are to lean not to our own understanding!  Repent and do it God's way!  Turn it over to Him!  Provision has already been provided for us!  He is telling us to come this way, the one way.  He gives us joy unspeakable!  Revive, restore, refresh--one way, He is the way, the truth and the life!  You just have to come.  He is a keeper and calls you friend. 
John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.  Only one way for reconciliation to the Father--turn it over to Him!  He will make it alright!  There is one way, fiveamprayer--God's way!  He is the way and no man comes to the Father but through, Me.  We lift up those in need of healing.  We know that there is enough healing in the hem of His garment.  We stand on, by your stripes we were healed!  Forgive us Lord for following the lead of our carnal bodies and emotions getting in the way.  One way!  Thank You Lord, for forgiving us with no condemnation, casting our sins into the sea where they are remembered no more!  There is not a one like the lowly Jesus!  No not one!

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:
Fiveamprayer is calling on the Lord God Almighty!  O, that thou would bless us indeed--We won't let go until you bless us!

Welcome to the overflow...

Get this in your spirit and soul!  He is the way--He goes ahead and makes the crooked places straight.  He is our salvation, joy, peace, understanding, knowledge, wisdom--one way.  All sufficiency is in Him!  He is our source, one way.  He has given us dominion and Christ took back the keys!!  We are walking all over the enemy!  Going through tests and trials, one way for healing, peace, joy--it is right now!!  Fall on your face.  There is not another way.  The Lord is our Shepherd, the only way!  He guides and directs us!  The only way!  You have been thinking there is another way--there is only one way for deliverance, to be set free, gives you peace and joy!  Turn it over to God!  People can't get you together!  Put it in the Master's hands!  Turn them over to Jesus--your spouse, your finances, your children, your job or looking for a job.  Put it all in the Master's hands!  Turn it over to Jesus!    I dare you to put it in the Master's hands!  We have a new walk and new talk!  We don't think how we used to!  Cast your cares on Him for He cares for you!  He cares for you--the only way to freedom!  Doing things your way, you end up tied up and bogged down.  Put it in the Master's hands!  He is the way, truth and life!  The only way to the Father is through the Son!  He laid down His life for you!  Lay down everything that is besetting you.  Turn it over to Him!  Don't go back to pick it up.  Let it go, do not continue talking about it--truly let it go and trust God!  Fiveamprayer, we shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!  Turn it over to Him!  Get out of the way!  No more trying to figure people out.  He is God, He doesn't need any help!  You are not the way, neither is your wife or husband.  God is the way!  Depend on God!  Sometimes you will have to walk in the wilderness by yourself.  Friends may not understand.  They may not be called to where you are going.  Depend on no one but Him!  God designed it that way, so that you can learn more about Him.  We look to the hills from which comes our help, our help comes from the Lord!  In the natural there is only one direction of traffic flow on a one way street.  There is no other way!  One way, just for you!  He made it a long time ago!  God has made provision, sacrifice, has laid down life and engraved us in the palm of His hand, He knows the number of hairs on our head.  God has arranged so many things for us to be able to come back into right relationship with Him!  Thank You Lord!   One way, He told us to come--there is one way to the Father.  We are reconciled to right standing with Him!  This is all about our relationship with the Father!  Grace, through Christ Jesus, the one way!  It is a set up!  That is why He bid him to come.  One way.  That You would bless us indeed!  Jabez knew that God is the only way!  Jacob came to know, when he was wrestling all night long, this is the one way to be blessed.  Blessed to the overflow.  Man can not do it!  You are gonna see because of the one way out--through Him!  Hallelujah!  Glory to His name!  One way--tell your issues, problems and struggles--one way!  I can call on His name, like Moses did!  Numbers 10:35 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.  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?  There is more than 2 people on this line, fiveamprayer!!  Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?  Thank You Lord, hold on like Jacob did until He blesses you!  That is our one way!  Hallelujah!  God we lift up fiveamprayer this morning that we stand in unity on Your word!  In unity there is commanded blessings!  Don't let go until God blesses you!  You told Him you have a I will not spirit!  Don't let go now!! I will not let go until you bless me!!  Thank You God there is a change in the atmosphere!  God has doing great things!  Thank You!  Thank You!  Thank You!  Hallelujah!  Have a blessed day, take time to read the scriptures for yourself!  Visit us on facebook, it will encourage you!

The Word He Spoke Is Come.

Matthew 14:29; Genesis 15:14;  Matthew 11:28; 2 Corinthians 6:17; John 21:10-15; Revelation 22:20; Matthew 14:24-25, 26-27, 24:35; Mark 4:39-41; John 10:27; Psalm 37:23; Matthew 18:12

We are walking in today:  The Word He Spoke Is Come.

Matthew 14:29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.  God told us on yesterday that this is our make it happen moment.  Now come, is the word that you need to walk on, not the water!  We must truly know how to walk on His word.  Matthew 14:30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.  You know my mindset was always that Peter took His eyes off of Jesus, but it's deeper than that--he took his eyes off of the word!  The word is God, because the word was before and it became flesh and dwelt among us.  We need to listen to the word that He spoke out of His mouth come.  This is our make it happen moment, come!!!!  Genesis 15:14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.  Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Come is the word to walk in!!!  2 Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.  Revelation 22:20  He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.  The word for today is come! 
The word that Jesus spoke out of His mouth was come.  The word that you need to hold on to for your make it happen moment is, come.  Come just as you are!  Come because our Father is calling you!  Come because it is miracle time!  Come because it is healing time!  Come because it is restoration time!  Come unto Me all that has labored and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  This is Jesus talking, you have got to understand the word of God from Genesis to Revelation--you have got to get a revelation!  Begin to hold on to the word of God.  Begin to walk in the word of God.  It wasn't about Peter walking on water, it was about him walking on the word of God!  When He says come, because Peter said bid me to come if that is you Jesus.  He told him to come out on the water, but when Peter put his focus on the wind and got in fear he began to sink.  Matthew 14:24-25 24) But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. 25) And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.  Before Peter got out of the boat, the wind was already blowing.  Also notice that Jesus does not speak to the contrary wind, He is speaking only to the disciples to fear not, that it is Him--Matthew 14:26-27 26) And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.  27) But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.  As Pastor Taffe has taught, that we must call on God immediately when we begin to sink.  Peter was a fisherman before, he was a fisher of men.  He would likely know how to swim,  he did not wait until he had sunk all the way down, the scripture says when he began to sink.  Nor did he try to swim back to the boat or look around for drift wood to hold on to.  We must call out to God immediately!!  Why wait to see if you are underwater to call out to God?  Your trust in His word should be at first sign of trouble--that He is always able.  Cry out to God at the first!  Look at Jesus' response, just as immediately of being called, He reaches out for him and asks Peter gently why did he doubt.  Where are you looking fiveamprayer?!  Are you looking to Jesus?  He is the Author and Finisher of our faith, He came to heal the broken hearted and to set the captives free.  Come on, He is the reconciler for you marriage.  Lay it out, at His feet.  Walk towards Him, trust Him and ask Him to use you, you are His earthen vessel.  Walk in His word, He is our redeemer. We are coming out of this thing--walking on Your word.  God is not a man that He should lie.  Everything that we need is in His word!  Keep walking in His word, suited up in the whole armor of God.  That God shows up with many miracles, that He will get us cleaned up!  We are coming through the fire not smelling of smoke!  Who the Son sets free is free indeed!  Stand on His word, come.  He can do all things!  Come as you are!  Look to Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith!  He is bidding us to come out onto the water!  He is asking us to cast our cares, for He cares for us!  Let it go and come unto Me all that labor and are heaven laden--there is rest beyond the river.  Look to He that can give you peace on every side!  This race is not given to the swift but to he that endures until the end.  Come on fiveamprayer, He is calling us up higher!  He put something on the inside of us!  Lay it down at His feet.  He is reviving, restoring, and renewing us!  Thank You Lord!  Praise Your name!  We must keep our eyes on the word not the water!  The word is true and stands forever!  Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.  He can speak a word, peace be still and we can have a peace that surpasses understanding.  Mark 4:39-41 39) And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40) And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? 41) And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?  Come, fiveamprayer, in the name of Jesus!  He said come, we have to take the first step.  We can't just talk the word, but to walk the word and stand on the word!  Be suited up daily, the devil is coming to see what you are made of.  God is calling us by name, come.  We are to lean not to our own understanding, when we do that--that is when we sink.  We are to acknowledge Him in all our our ways, and He will direct our path.  How?  By His word!  Psalm 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.  Thank You Lord!  He has not given us the spirit of fear!  Walk it out and come on!  He is our Shepherd we shall not want!  John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.  He has His hands stretched out to you.  Matthew 18:12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?  God left the 99 to come and get you!  Thank You Lord!  There are some of us that have been crying in our marriage for a long time, the Lord says, come.  This is our make it happen moment!  Come walk it out through your tears.  But do, walk it out!  It is time to walk in the word.  We walked in the whole chapter of Isaiah 60 on yesterday--God gives revelation of His word!  When you are thirsty He will give you living water!  He knows the number of hairs on your head, knew you before you were even shaped in your mother's womb.  Call on Jesus, our Intercessor, who is asking the Father to forgive us for we know not what we do!  Come to the Lord!  Stop wrestling, the joy of the Lord is our strength!  Come!  Hallelujah!  Thank You God!  Hallelujah!  When you look back over your life and see only one set of footprints on the beach, that is when He is carrying you!  He knows that it hurts--trust Him and come on, walk and stand on His word!  He will have you to lay down by the green pastures and beside still waters.  He is leading us through paths of righteousness for His namesake!  Thank You God for being our Shepherd, that we shall not want!  Thank You Lord!  Your mercies endure for ever!  Come, just as you are!  He will fix it!  He is the potter and we are the clay, He shows up in the broken pieces!  He wants to put you back together again!  Praise Your name, Lord!   The word that He spoke was come.  You will not give up, won't stop praising His name!  Set it down at His feet and don't go back and pick it up!  Let it go and let God take over!  Get out of the way, God does not need your help!  He is our shield and buckler!  Stand on the word of the Rock of Ages!  He is letting us know that it is alright!  As the the scripture says in the Amplified, Matthew 14:27 But instantly He spoke to them, saying, Take courage! I AM! Stop being afraid!  Why are we fearful, Jesus is with us--we are to take courage!!  There is no one else that can fix us but, Him!  Sit at His feet, washing his feet with your tears.  Turn it over to Him.    Just come and lay at His feet.  There is healing in the hem of His garment.  Press your way to God!  Make up your mind--come on.  He stands at the door and knocks.  He will sup with you, if you would answer the door and let Him in!  He is coming to bring you out of depression on His word come.  He will never leave or forsake you!  You are His chosen one, many are called but few are chosen.  He has taken us out of the miry clay and set us upon the rock!  Thank You Lord for establishing our goings!  What are you walking on?  Is it God's word?!  Or did you miss step?  If so go ahead and make that correction!  Get back on God's word!  Stand believing and not worried about how it looks in the natural--let not your eyes be deceived!  Peter called out quickly to be saved when he found that he was starting to sink.  Then the Lord responded immediately!  We must call out when we see that we are starting to sink!  Get back on the word.  That is the only thing that is holding you up, it is what you are standing on, and how this world was created!  Our names are engraved into the palms of His hands, there is nothing that can pluck us from His hand.  Come to the Lord.  He is wrapping you up in His peace.  Lay your burdens down.  Through Christ we overcome and are more than conquers.  Hallelujah!  Come, are you walking with Him?  Safe in His arms?  He has everything that you need.  Rest on the pillow of His arms!  There is a breaking in the atmosphere!  You have to come!  The word He spoke is come.  Take your eyes off of the water, walk on the word!  If you are not standing on the word, you will sink!  Walk out on the word, Jesus has bid you to come.  God has spoken some things in your life!  Don't wait anymore, come to the Lord.  He said it is our make it happen moment!  We want more of You and less of us!  We are coming to You, Lord.  We want a closer relationship with You, Lord.  Teach us Your way.  We are coming to worship the Lord.  To God be the glory!  We are free to praise You!  Lay aside every weight and seek more of Him!  We are coming to the Lord, the restorer of our souls!  It is me O Lord, standing in the need of prayer!  We need Thee, every hour, we need Thee!  Every second, minute, hour, day, week, year--it is all You, Lord!  Hallelujah!  We lift up fiveamprayer this morning we are coming on Your word.  He can speak a word that we can walk in and stand on!  We must speak life, there is power of life and death in the tongue.  As we come to sit at Your feet, we ask for forgiveness and repent, turning away from what we used to do!  Thank You for forgiving us with no condemnation.  Teach us how to forgive that we are forgiven also! 

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:  Come is the word that I stand on, to bring me out!


Welcome to the overflow...
