Scripture look-up: Nehemiah chapter 3 and 4
We are walking in today: God Has Orchestrated It All!
Matthew 6:31-34 31 Therefore take no thought, saying,
What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be
clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your
heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But
seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these
things shall be added unto you. 34 Take therefore no thought for the
morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Therefore
do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself! Each
day has enough trouble of its own. God told us on Monday do not labor
for food that perishes! Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for
tomorrow will worry about itself. I love this verse because no matter,
who you are or what you are going through you just need to nod your head
in agreement. It is that crystal clear. There is no point in
worrying, that will only make things worse! We must get to a point
where we realize we are not in control. When I took Matthew 6:34 and
paired it with Psalm 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. I
was freed from the shackles of worry. I has awoken to the fact that
God has got it under control. After all He orchestrated it all!
Everything we have been through and every thing we are going to go
through--God has got His hand on it. We need to let go and trust that
God has our back. Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. He
is the bread of life--don't labor or food that perishes! Therefore do
not worry about tomorrow, let tomorrow worry about itself. Worry is
empty and gets no where. We need to learn to trust God. He gave us our
life and He will sustain it. There are things we should never worry about 1) things that you can't change; 2) things that you can change. Faithless,
Jesus used the same penetrating word when He spoke to the disciples
after He had calmed the storm. Do you still have not faith?! Or His
other statement on their faith, o ye of little faith? Faith and worry
are on opposite ends of the spectrum. If you are overcome with worry
that is a sure indicator that you are not doing well in the faith
department. In Matthew 6:28-36, we see that faith is trusting God will
provide. God is so great! He is so loving and our lack of faith sends
the signal that we don't really believe. Worry is worldly as we see
walking through Matthew 6:31-32. The world spends all their energy
running after material needs. We can easily find ourselves acting like
the world. To confront worry and anxiety, we as believers seek God. We
put God first. We move away from worry to faith! This is how we live,
by faith! Instead of becoming overly worried about the future.
Matthew 6:33 lets us know that our basic needs for food and clothes are
covered. God knows what we have need of. He is sufficient to provide
that and much more. We must put out trust in Him! (Matthew 6:34)
So think about it this morning. God has orchestrated all things! So
why are we even worrying about tomorrow? God said don't worry about
tomorrow. All we have to do is cast our cares on Him, for He cares for
us! Our entire life has been orchestrated by God! All of it! If
He knew you before you were shaped in your mother's womb and He knows
the number of hairs on your head, you have got to know that all
things have been orchestrated by Him! The place that you are in right
now, God already knew you would be there. God has orchestrated what you
are going through right now. God has gone before you to make the
crooked places straight. He is our Way out of no way! No matter what
you are faced with--don't you worry about tomorrow! Tell God today, I
trust You! I Am standing on Your promises, Lord. We don't have time to
worry about tomorrow. I need to fight that devil today! I need to
bring things to the being of God! We lay those things at Your feet. We
are no longer worried about tomorrow. This is the day that the Lord
has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it! He knows the plans that He
has for us! Trust Him! Walk it out! Ask for the impossible--expect
the unexpected! Why be worried?! He has already made provision, from
the very beginning! Tell Him, I trust You, Lord! Why are you worried?
Trust God! We serve notice: no devil in hell is gonna stop us! We are
ready for battle and in position on our knees! We are standing on 2
Chronicles 20:17. God is with us--that is why we don't have to worry!
When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Lord lifts up a standard
against him! We are living in Revelation. We have got to stand with
God. Fiveamprayer, be still and know that He is God all my Himself!
Look to God, nobody but Him can fix it! Put on the whole armor of God!
The enemy is like a roaming lion, seeking who he may devour. No weapon
that is formed against us shall prosper! Be not worried about
tomorrow! We are gonna have to fight and pick up our weapons! We can't
worry about tomorrow! God gives us daily bread! The Lord supplies all
of our needs according to His riches in glory. There is nothing
lacking in the kingdom of God and we are children of the kingdom. We
can not be moved out of position or speaking out of turn based on what
we seen in this temporary kingdom of this world. Hold on to God's word,
the word that lasts forever! God has the final say! We have to suit
up for battle, this is combat time! We are fighting this devil! Take
your eyes off of the situation, look to God! Tell the sun and moon to
stand still we got to look at this with spiritual eyes! Get up and
fight today! Don't worry about tomorrow, let tomorrow worry about
itself! Matthew 6:25, 27 (AMP) 25 Therefore I
tell you, stop being perpetually uneasy (anxious and worried) about your
life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink; or about your body,
what you shall put on. Is not life greater [in quality] than food, and
the body [far above and more excellent] than clothing? 27 And who of you
by worrying and being anxious can add one unit of measure (cubit) to
his stature or to the span of his life? We are on the
battlefield for the Lord, we will serve Him until we die! The enemy
wants to take your mind off of your mission. He knows that you need
food and clothes. God crafted us wouldn't He also give us all that is
needful to us? Our God knows what we need even before we do. He even
prepares us in advance, we just have to pay attention and not to allow
distractions to divide our focus from Him! We are not to be anxious for
anything! Stand on His promises! Stand on His word! God You
said...take Him back His word, be a good student of the word! Pick up
your sword and keep on swing at those lies! His strength is made
perfect in our weakness. So even when we are weak, by God we have
strength! The joy of the Lord is our strength! We will not back down
nor turn around, we have come too far and prayed for too long! The
enemy can not take us off of our destiny track! There is no weapon that
is formed against us that shall prosper, fiveamprayer (a nice visual of
what no weapon prospering looks like)!
Every tongue that is spoken against us, shall be condemned, that is our
heritage as servants of the Lord! We know who we serve and honor, the
Lord God Almighty! Thank You God! For giving us Your righteousness,
that we are made in right standing with You by the blood of the Lamb
that was slain! We don't battle against flesh and blood, call the devil
out. I see you devil and your tricks won't work they have all fallen
to the ground, they have been made to no effect! My God knows the end
from the beginning and He works all things together for my good! Though
He slay me, yet will I trust Him! God comes to confirm His word and we
can stand on it! Don't look at the distractions! As Pastor Taffe
shared last night that we have to guard our heart, peace, joy and
energy. We are in this fight together. One can chase 1,000 but 2 can
chase 10,000! We have to have others to stand with us in prayer and
fight together! Constant in prayer, watching and fighting! We have to
stay under the word of God, that is what will strengthen us and keep us
in this battle. Our Rock is not like their rock! Fiveamprayer we have
the Rock of Ages, He is all knowing and all powerful! No one like Him!
Ever! God told us that we have to inspect, put on and keep on our
armor! We are in battle and can not be caught without our armor on! Nehemiah 4:20-23 (AMP) 20
In whatever place you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there.
Our God will fight for us. 21 So we labored at the work while half of
them held the spears from dawn until the stars came out. 22 At that time
also I said to the people, Let everyone with his servant lodge within
Jerusalem, that at night they may be a guard to us and a laborer during
the day. 23 So none of us—I, my kinsmen, my servants, nor the men of the
guard who followed me—took off our clothes; each kept his weapon [in
his hand for days]. God has given us the tools that we need
to be able to stand and fight! Don't worry about tomorrow. Thank You
Lord! He already knows what you have need of. Walk by faith and not by
sight. The devil thought that he had you afraid and fearful. That is
not even in our DNA! We were given power, love and a sound mind!
Fiveamprayer, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord with you!
Keep looking to God and not the situation! He is bigger than what you
are facing and He is in control. The position of power is always with
Him. What you are facing is not able to take out God! The Creator of
all things is certainly above what is staring at you. Trust and believe
that God is fully aware of what is going on and we have to be still and
see His hand move in our situation and give Him the glory and praise!
No one else but God can do it! So give honor where honor is due!
Praise Your name God, You have, are and have already brought us out of
what we are in and were in! Amen! The devil is still a liar! We are a
force to be reckoned with! Are you in your battlefield position, on
your knees? Don't worry about tomorrow, instead be planted in the word
of God. If you are worried about your marriage, your children, your
finances seek God first! He has the answers and give you peace that
surpasses all understanding! Don't worry about tomorrow, God told us on
Monday not to labor over food that will perish. Our God supplies all
of our needs! We have got to refocus and shake yourself. Get your
eyes back on God and see this thing in the spiritual. The devil is
still a liar! Look to God who orchestrated this all! He knows the end
from the very beginning, He is the Author and Finisher of our faith!
God can not be surprised! He has been preparing you and equipping you
before that battle, storm or fight got here. That is why He had us
standing on 2 Chronicles 20:17 and we are here still trying to fight and
worried about tomorrow?! God knew you would be here in this place at
this time. Trust God, His thoughts and ways are much higher than ours!
Stop being worried about tomorrow. Let tomorrow worry about itself.
Are you called by God? Then we know that He works all things for our
good! I am glad that God has the master plan, He orchestrated it all!
Stop leaning to your own understanding! Pick up your cross and follow
Him! Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and
finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured
the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the
throne of God. Look to God He is the Alpha and Omega. He knows
the plans that He has for you! Our Rock is not like their rock! Our
Rock made us and they made their rock! Stand on His word, He gave us His word to stand on! Thank You Lord! 1 Peter 4:12-13 12
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to
try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 13 But rejoice,
inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his
glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be
glad in it! Don't change your position because of opposition.
Fiveamprayer think it not strange of the fiery trial that you are in. I
am standing on Your word God! We have to trust Him like never before!
You will get all of the glory God! Praise Him in advance! Don't worry
about tomorrow, tomorrow will worry about itself. God supplies all
of our needs, thank You Lord! Get your eyes back on God! The enemy
had us distracted for a second. Keep your eyes on the prize!
Philippians 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Who are we not to suffer, we are the ones who committed the crime? Yet
Jesus suffered and is without blame--paid our sin debt! This race is
not given to the swift. I stand on Your promises God! This is all
orchestrated by You God! Get you focus on God. Walk out on the water.
God is beckoning us to come out into the deep with Him. Cast your
cares, He is making us better, wiser and stronger. Come on
fiveamprayer, walk on water! God says, "keep your eyes on ME!
Otherwise, you will sink." We are walking towards You Lord on the
water! Thank You for hearing our prayers and having us to press. The
battle is not ours it it the Lord's! Even in our the darkest hour, it
is darkest just before the dawn. Hallelujah! We will suffer no
temptation that is not common to man, that God will not make a way of
escape for us. To hear this again click here
We
seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: Therefore don't
worry about tomorrow, let tomorrow worry about itself!

Put On The Whole Armor--Check Your Armor!
Psalm 51; 1 Corinthians 14:33; Colossians 3:1-17; Hebrews 11:8; 2 Corinthians 10:3-5; Hebrews 4:12; 1 Corinthians 14:40; Ephesians 6:10-18; John 10:4-5; 2 Timothy 2:13; Proverbs 3:5; Zechariah 1:3; Isaiah 54:17; 2 Chronicles 20:17; Romans 8:31 ; Romans 14:11; Philippians 2:10-11; Ephesians 6:12; Joshua 10:23-25
We are walking in today: Put On The Whole Armor--Check Your Armor!
Psalm 51 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. 11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. 14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. 15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. 16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
Colossians 3:1-17 1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. 8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. 12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Hebrews 11:8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 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;
Ephesians 6:10-18 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. 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. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
This morning we welcome Deacon Troy to deliver what God has placed on his heart. We thank him for his obedience to what God has given him to do! Amen. We must have on the whole armor of God! The enemy is coming at us from many directions, we must be on guard and have up our shield of faith and look to increase it to protect a larger area. We must check our armor to see that it is ready to go. Are you in the word of God so that your sword of the Spirit is a sword and not a dagger? Once you are done with your inspection of your armor--make sure you put it on. That is how you are able to fight against the spirits, powers and principalities. So that you can stand, remaining in constant prayer in the power of the spirit. We must be in prayer, especially for others, keep praying! For all those from Testimony Tuesday, we must look over our armor. See to it that it is functioning and fitting properly. We must each understand what each piece is to do--belt of truth, speak the truth--the word of God. You have got to know that you know that you know! The breastplate of righteousness, doing right according to God's word. Have your feet prepared with the gospel of peace, let those who need to hear the good news! Jesus is coming and He will save you, we have got to believe and walk in faith! Have our shield of faith, they used to be made out of wood and then metal, we have to continue to build our faith. Don't let satan get darts through! Don't let him knock you down! Bind him and rebuke him in the name of Jesus! We are to pray that relentlessly! If there is a chink in the armor, search and find it. This is not a simple war, this is a permanent war. The outcome determines your permanent position--once judgement is passed there is no calling out to Jesus pull me out of hell. Edify yourself with the word, know it from Genesis to Revelation and Revelation to Genesis--that is your sword. A blade has to be very sharp--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. Once you have confirmed, fiveamprayer, that the armor is in order put it on and keep pressing against the attacks and devices of the enemy! We must band together in the body of Christ! You began basic training when you first came to Christ, being feed the milk of the word. Now we have to get into our advanced individual training! God is not the author of confusion, He is the God of peace and order! 1 Corinthians 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order. We have to know that, it is satan who wants to attack and throw things at us. We battle not against flesh and blood! When we come together as one with Jesus leading us there is no weapon can come against us! Amen! 365 Pocket Prayers (Prayer of Faith and Prayer of Spiritual Warfare) To hear this again click here.
We must sharpen our tools, it is time to get into the Bible and realize who God is! He spoke words out of His mouth and created this whole world! Whatever He speaks comes into existence! Abraham is the father of faith he moved into position, trusting and believing God! We have to be reminded who our Father is and what He has done in the lives of Abraham, Sarah, Moses, and Joshua for example. We have to sharpen out tools! The enemy is a roaming lion who is seeking who he may devour. We can't go out half way, with some of our armor on! Our weapons are not carnal We must read Ephesians 6:10-18 daily--we are fighting this devil day after day. Let us suit up and walk according to what God has given us to do! Faith is a process! God is keeping us here in faith until we really get it! Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God! Without faith it is impossible to please God! Let us walk with God like Enoch, he just walked with God right into glory! We got to be so close to Him, that our ears are sensitive to His voice. John 10:4-5 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. We are to be still and know He is God! You will not have to fight, set yourself, see the salvation of the Lord who is with you! It all comes by faith! What we need, by faith! In every step we take, by faith! This is a faith fight--it is all by our faith! God is taking us from faith to faith and glory to glory, He will get the glory by our faith! We trust and believe God by our faith. Do you believe it? Then you shall receive it! Mountains, be removed it! It is by our faith. We can tell the mountains to move out the way--we can ask for impossible and expect the unexpected! Fiveamprayer, come this far by faith! It was nothing but our faith, and trusting in His holy word, He has never failed us! He is faithful and compassionate! 2 Timothy 2:13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. Thank You God for reminding us to suit up for battle, we are in a spiritual war. Fiveamprayer, don't let the devil catch you off guard! We must constantly watch and pray! The enemy is trying to take you out, and sift you as wheat. The enemy comes to sift your mind, with doubt and fear. Do you have on the helmet of salvation? Did you pray before you left out this morning? The devil is still a liar, rebuke him in the name of Jesus! The enemy is a defeated foe and is already under our feet!! We and we cast down every imagination--casting down doubt, fear and unbelief! We loose the power of God and His Spirit. We bind up doubt, fear and unbelief. We loose power, love and a sound mind! Thank You God, for telling us to get ready to go out swinging our sword and to be suited up for battle! Check the armor. It is time to sharpen your sword! When was that last time that was done. Thank You God for sending Deacon Troy with this word this morning! We pray that You would pour back into him for his time and preparation for what he has poured out on the line. Thank you, Deacon Troy for coming to be the iron that sharpens iron! We must check our armor and suited up everyday. Do you think that trained soldiers go out to the battlefield without checking that all of their gear and weapons are fully functioning? Who would run out to the battle without the necessary tools and equipment? A gun but,no bullets? Having on only socks, but no boots? No of course not! Why would we got out without our equipment and tools? Are you trusting God or leaning to your own understanding? God tells us in His word, Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. The soldiers follow their commander trusting that the commander knows and has the best plan. Why would you doubt God's plan? He is our commander in this war--the Lord of Hosts some translations say He is the (CBE) Lord of heavenly forces, (CEV) Lord All-Powerful, (GW) Lord of Armies, (MSG) God-of-the-Angel-Armies. So this lets us know God is mighty in battle and ready to fight, that He has conquered and won many battles! Zechariah 1:3 Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. We lift up fiveamprayer this morning, they are suiting up and putting on the whole armor if God! We are strapping up our shoes of the gospel of peace and taking up our sword in, battlefield position on our knees. We are stand still, knowing that You are fighting our battle. 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. We are walking in the enemy's camp covered in the blood--that is our camouflage there is still power in the blood! We are more than overcomers, we are a force to be reckoned with! We are a child of the most high God! Thank You Lord that there is no weapon formed that can prosper against us! Thank You Lord and we lift up fiveamprayer to You, You, Lord know what they stand in the need of! We must suit up and sharpen our sword, get in the book know His word! We lift up prayer requests those known and unknown, this is a war cry and we are waging war against the devil! Hallelujah God! We repent for not having our armor on. How are we gonna wage war without the armor?! Lord, be my sword be my shield. I am tired of the enemy messing with me. I am waging war! I am a force to be reckoned with! Thank You for forgiving us with no condemnation, it is cast into sea remembered no more. Thank You for teaching us how to pray. Thank You God for giving us a place to come to early in the morning. Thank You God!
We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: We come this far by faith!
Welcome to the overflow...
Today is January 30 2013--we have come this far by faith! Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of the Lord! The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want! Lord, lead me to the rock that is higher than I. I will stand on the promises of God. Having done all to stand, stand therefore! Thank You God for Your grace and Your mercy. Taste and see that the Lord is good! We have to know that we will not have to fight in this battle, see the salvation of the lord with you, fiveamprayer! 2 Chronicles 20:17 Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you. Armor up fiveamprayer, the Lord is with you! Thank You God! Thank You Holy Spirit for reminding us to suit up, so that we can stand in the evil day. Stand, stand, stand some more! Check the sword, check the breastplate, put on the helmet. Thank You for Testimony Tuesday, we should be reading Ephesians 6 daily, we are fighting for our marriages, children and souls. Take your battlefield position on your knees. Thank You God, it is war time. We will never surrender to you, devil! We will never wave our white flag, devil! We are soldiers in the army of the Lord. The enemy is already defeated and under my feet, I have dominion and authority! I will never give up on God, nor turn around! Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? No never! We are coming into the enemies camp to get all that has been taken from us-- our minds, joy and peace. I am reaping the harvest the God promised me! I shall never wave my flag, I shall pursue and without fail recover all! God gave us spiritual weapons of mass destruction a long time ago and we are not suiting up for battle?! We can speak life or death in our tongues. We can say the name Jesus, demons tremble. 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. Philippians 2:10-11 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. There is no other name like His name! The demons scatter at the saying of His, name Jesus! Darkness can not stay in the presence of His name, Jesus! Call on His name! I will never wave my flag--in marriage, children, nor finances all going crazy, I will not give up! I am constant in prayer, not anxious for anything! I know that He is a rewarder to those that diligently seek Him! Wait on Him it will come to pass wait, His word will not return void! Hallelujah God! Thou He slay me yet will I trust Him. The devil wants you to give up, he is a liar, there is no going back--the only way is God's way! Don't give up! Don't you wave your flag, tell the devil that you will stand. Turn it over to God and stand. We are not leaning to our own understanding, we are to acknowledge Him in all of our ways and He directs your path! I'll never wave my flag. This is war time. We are a force to be reckoned with! This is the end times, it is war time! Suit yourself up for battle and take your position and tell the devil, if God be for me who can stand against me? When doubt and unbelief rise up, speak back to it God's word! God is for me, you can't stop me! He took the keys and took captivity captive and the gates of hell not prevail against the church! I am the church. You are not wrapped in bondage, Jesus holds captivity captive! Look at the God that we serve! He is the Lord God mighty in battle. He speaks a word and it is done! That is the how He made us, fear was not in our DNA! I am fearfully and wonderfully made! Wow God! He keeps reminding us who we are, suit up for battle. You are a force to be reckoned with! Suit up for battle. Come on! We have to have our minds transformed, we need a new mindset. We are not defeated! It is the devil who is defeated! It isn't over until God says! Don't get tired, keep swinging! Keep telling the devil he is a liar--in my finances, my marriage with my children you are still a liar! The stuff you thought you had taken, I am coming for it! God has made us better, stronger and wiser. So all of that stuff that I let you have in the past, these old tricks will not trip me up this time! I am suited up now! Thank you Deacon Troy for this word. Let us no longer fight him in the flesh nor by our power or might. We fight by the the Spirit of the Lord! Our weapons are not carnal! We crucify the flesh! It is by His Spirit! Not our will, Thy will be done--we are not carnal we are spirit! It is by His Spirit! There is war going on in the atmosphere and we are winning! Lord rise up let my enemies be scattered 1,000 at my left and 10,000 at my right but none come nigh me. Be suited up for battle! We are a force to be reckoned with! Are you ready to fight now!? Take your battlefield position. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord with you. Thank You God. I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me! Greater is He that is in me, than he that is within this world. Thank You for giving us the answer, the armor when we cried out yesterday that we are in doubt and fear. Suit yourself up for battle, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord with you!. Thank You God. We cried out help our unbelief--suite up for battle fiveamprayer! Thank You lord. You are not covered--that is how the enemy comes in. You have to cover yourself with the word of God! Be wrapped in the blood from the book of Mark, Luke and John. The devil is coming in because you are not praying. The adversary is seeking whom he may devour. Cover yourself, fiveamprayer! You gotta put it on--because if you didn't have to put it on God would not tell you to put it on! It is not automatic, He says the whole armor, not some. Put it on! We must not forget that we have to put it on. Watch as well as pray! We wrestle not against flesh and blood--we have to put on the whole armor! Thank You God for Your word! We can stand now because we got the armor on! Having our shield of faith, we can quench the fiery darts--we got to have the armor on! Thank You Jesus! Thank You Lord! 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 word wrestle in the Greek means to vibrate, shake. Wrestling is a contest between two in which each endeavors to throw the other down and is decided when the victor is able to hold down the other with a hand upon the neck. Joshua 10:23-25 23 And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon. 24 And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them. 25 And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the Lord do to all your enemies against whom ye fight. Fiveamprayer we have to trust and believe that the Lord indeed is truly with us! We are winning this battle because God is fighting it and He never looses! I like the image of victory from Joshua placing your foot on the neck of your enemy! That is why we must not allow the enemy to get us alone without our armor. One of the purposes of fear is to keep you quiet and unable to move. No more of the enemy grabbing us by the neck. The devil does not want us to speak God's word or the name that is above every name! JESUS! We have to stay armored up to remain in the victory that God has already won for us! So go out against him, fear not nor be dismayed the Lord is with you, fiveamprayer! Put on the armor and keep it in fighting condition! Amen!

We are walking in today: Put On The Whole Armor--Check Your Armor!
Psalm 51 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. 11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. 14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. 15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. 16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
Colossians 3:1-17 1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. 8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. 12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Hebrews 11:8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 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;
Ephesians 6:10-18 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. 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. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
This morning we welcome Deacon Troy to deliver what God has placed on his heart. We thank him for his obedience to what God has given him to do! Amen. We must have on the whole armor of God! The enemy is coming at us from many directions, we must be on guard and have up our shield of faith and look to increase it to protect a larger area. We must check our armor to see that it is ready to go. Are you in the word of God so that your sword of the Spirit is a sword and not a dagger? Once you are done with your inspection of your armor--make sure you put it on. That is how you are able to fight against the spirits, powers and principalities. So that you can stand, remaining in constant prayer in the power of the spirit. We must be in prayer, especially for others, keep praying! For all those from Testimony Tuesday, we must look over our armor. See to it that it is functioning and fitting properly. We must each understand what each piece is to do--belt of truth, speak the truth--the word of God. You have got to know that you know that you know! The breastplate of righteousness, doing right according to God's word. Have your feet prepared with the gospel of peace, let those who need to hear the good news! Jesus is coming and He will save you, we have got to believe and walk in faith! Have our shield of faith, they used to be made out of wood and then metal, we have to continue to build our faith. Don't let satan get darts through! Don't let him knock you down! Bind him and rebuke him in the name of Jesus! We are to pray that relentlessly! If there is a chink in the armor, search and find it. This is not a simple war, this is a permanent war. The outcome determines your permanent position--once judgement is passed there is no calling out to Jesus pull me out of hell. Edify yourself with the word, know it from Genesis to Revelation and Revelation to Genesis--that is your sword. A blade has to be very sharp--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. Once you have confirmed, fiveamprayer, that the armor is in order put it on and keep pressing against the attacks and devices of the enemy! We must band together in the body of Christ! You began basic training when you first came to Christ, being feed the milk of the word. Now we have to get into our advanced individual training! God is not the author of confusion, He is the God of peace and order! 1 Corinthians 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order. We have to know that, it is satan who wants to attack and throw things at us. We battle not against flesh and blood! When we come together as one with Jesus leading us there is no weapon can come against us! Amen! 365 Pocket Prayers (Prayer of Faith and Prayer of Spiritual Warfare) To hear this again click here.
We must sharpen our tools, it is time to get into the Bible and realize who God is! He spoke words out of His mouth and created this whole world! Whatever He speaks comes into existence! Abraham is the father of faith he moved into position, trusting and believing God! We have to be reminded who our Father is and what He has done in the lives of Abraham, Sarah, Moses, and Joshua for example. We have to sharpen out tools! The enemy is a roaming lion who is seeking who he may devour. We can't go out half way, with some of our armor on! Our weapons are not carnal We must read Ephesians 6:10-18 daily--we are fighting this devil day after day. Let us suit up and walk according to what God has given us to do! Faith is a process! God is keeping us here in faith until we really get it! Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God! Without faith it is impossible to please God! Let us walk with God like Enoch, he just walked with God right into glory! We got to be so close to Him, that our ears are sensitive to His voice. John 10:4-5 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. We are to be still and know He is God! You will not have to fight, set yourself, see the salvation of the Lord who is with you! It all comes by faith! What we need, by faith! In every step we take, by faith! This is a faith fight--it is all by our faith! God is taking us from faith to faith and glory to glory, He will get the glory by our faith! We trust and believe God by our faith. Do you believe it? Then you shall receive it! Mountains, be removed it! It is by our faith. We can tell the mountains to move out the way--we can ask for impossible and expect the unexpected! Fiveamprayer, come this far by faith! It was nothing but our faith, and trusting in His holy word, He has never failed us! He is faithful and compassionate! 2 Timothy 2:13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. Thank You God for reminding us to suit up for battle, we are in a spiritual war. Fiveamprayer, don't let the devil catch you off guard! We must constantly watch and pray! The enemy is trying to take you out, and sift you as wheat. The enemy comes to sift your mind, with doubt and fear. Do you have on the helmet of salvation? Did you pray before you left out this morning? The devil is still a liar, rebuke him in the name of Jesus! The enemy is a defeated foe and is already under our feet!! We and we cast down every imagination--casting down doubt, fear and unbelief! We loose the power of God and His Spirit. We bind up doubt, fear and unbelief. We loose power, love and a sound mind! Thank You God, for telling us to get ready to go out swinging our sword and to be suited up for battle! Check the armor. It is time to sharpen your sword! When was that last time that was done. Thank You God for sending Deacon Troy with this word this morning! We pray that You would pour back into him for his time and preparation for what he has poured out on the line. Thank you, Deacon Troy for coming to be the iron that sharpens iron! We must check our armor and suited up everyday. Do you think that trained soldiers go out to the battlefield without checking that all of their gear and weapons are fully functioning? Who would run out to the battle without the necessary tools and equipment? A gun but,no bullets? Having on only socks, but no boots? No of course not! Why would we got out without our equipment and tools? Are you trusting God or leaning to your own understanding? God tells us in His word, Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. The soldiers follow their commander trusting that the commander knows and has the best plan. Why would you doubt God's plan? He is our commander in this war--the Lord of Hosts some translations say He is the (CBE) Lord of heavenly forces, (CEV) Lord All-Powerful, (GW) Lord of Armies, (MSG) God-of-the-Angel-Armies. So this lets us know God is mighty in battle and ready to fight, that He has conquered and won many battles! Zechariah 1:3 Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. We lift up fiveamprayer this morning, they are suiting up and putting on the whole armor if God! We are strapping up our shoes of the gospel of peace and taking up our sword in, battlefield position on our knees. We are stand still, knowing that You are fighting our battle. 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. We are walking in the enemy's camp covered in the blood--that is our camouflage there is still power in the blood! We are more than overcomers, we are a force to be reckoned with! We are a child of the most high God! Thank You Lord that there is no weapon formed that can prosper against us! Thank You Lord and we lift up fiveamprayer to You, You, Lord know what they stand in the need of! We must suit up and sharpen our sword, get in the book know His word! We lift up prayer requests those known and unknown, this is a war cry and we are waging war against the devil! Hallelujah God! We repent for not having our armor on. How are we gonna wage war without the armor?! Lord, be my sword be my shield. I am tired of the enemy messing with me. I am waging war! I am a force to be reckoned with! Thank You for forgiving us with no condemnation, it is cast into sea remembered no more. Thank You for teaching us how to pray. Thank You God for giving us a place to come to early in the morning. Thank You God!
We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: We come this far by faith!
Welcome to the overflow...
Today is January 30 2013--we have come this far by faith! Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of the Lord! The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want! Lord, lead me to the rock that is higher than I. I will stand on the promises of God. Having done all to stand, stand therefore! Thank You God for Your grace and Your mercy. Taste and see that the Lord is good! We have to know that we will not have to fight in this battle, see the salvation of the lord with you, fiveamprayer! 2 Chronicles 20:17 Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you. Armor up fiveamprayer, the Lord is with you! Thank You God! Thank You Holy Spirit for reminding us to suit up, so that we can stand in the evil day. Stand, stand, stand some more! Check the sword, check the breastplate, put on the helmet. Thank You for Testimony Tuesday, we should be reading Ephesians 6 daily, we are fighting for our marriages, children and souls. Take your battlefield position on your knees. Thank You God, it is war time. We will never surrender to you, devil! We will never wave our white flag, devil! We are soldiers in the army of the Lord. The enemy is already defeated and under my feet, I have dominion and authority! I will never give up on God, nor turn around! Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? No never! We are coming into the enemies camp to get all that has been taken from us-- our minds, joy and peace. I am reaping the harvest the God promised me! I shall never wave my flag, I shall pursue and without fail recover all! God gave us spiritual weapons of mass destruction a long time ago and we are not suiting up for battle?! We can speak life or death in our tongues. We can say the name Jesus, demons tremble. 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. Philippians 2:10-11 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. There is no other name like His name! The demons scatter at the saying of His, name Jesus! Darkness can not stay in the presence of His name, Jesus! Call on His name! I will never wave my flag--in marriage, children, nor finances all going crazy, I will not give up! I am constant in prayer, not anxious for anything! I know that He is a rewarder to those that diligently seek Him! Wait on Him it will come to pass wait, His word will not return void! Hallelujah God! Thou He slay me yet will I trust Him. The devil wants you to give up, he is a liar, there is no going back--the only way is God's way! Don't give up! Don't you wave your flag, tell the devil that you will stand. Turn it over to God and stand. We are not leaning to our own understanding, we are to acknowledge Him in all of our ways and He directs your path! I'll never wave my flag. This is war time. We are a force to be reckoned with! This is the end times, it is war time! Suit yourself up for battle and take your position and tell the devil, if God be for me who can stand against me? When doubt and unbelief rise up, speak back to it God's word! God is for me, you can't stop me! He took the keys and took captivity captive and the gates of hell not prevail against the church! I am the church. You are not wrapped in bondage, Jesus holds captivity captive! Look at the God that we serve! He is the Lord God mighty in battle. He speaks a word and it is done! That is the how He made us, fear was not in our DNA! I am fearfully and wonderfully made! Wow God! He keeps reminding us who we are, suit up for battle. You are a force to be reckoned with! Suit up for battle. Come on! We have to have our minds transformed, we need a new mindset. We are not defeated! It is the devil who is defeated! It isn't over until God says! Don't get tired, keep swinging! Keep telling the devil he is a liar--in my finances, my marriage with my children you are still a liar! The stuff you thought you had taken, I am coming for it! God has made us better, stronger and wiser. So all of that stuff that I let you have in the past, these old tricks will not trip me up this time! I am suited up now! Thank you Deacon Troy for this word. Let us no longer fight him in the flesh nor by our power or might. We fight by the the Spirit of the Lord! Our weapons are not carnal! We crucify the flesh! It is by His Spirit! Not our will, Thy will be done--we are not carnal we are spirit! It is by His Spirit! There is war going on in the atmosphere and we are winning! Lord rise up let my enemies be scattered 1,000 at my left and 10,000 at my right but none come nigh me. Be suited up for battle! We are a force to be reckoned with! Are you ready to fight now!? Take your battlefield position. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord with you. Thank You God. I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me! Greater is He that is in me, than he that is within this world. Thank You for giving us the answer, the armor when we cried out yesterday that we are in doubt and fear. Suit yourself up for battle, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord with you!. Thank You God. We cried out help our unbelief--suite up for battle fiveamprayer! Thank You lord. You are not covered--that is how the enemy comes in. You have to cover yourself with the word of God! Be wrapped in the blood from the book of Mark, Luke and John. The devil is coming in because you are not praying. The adversary is seeking whom he may devour. Cover yourself, fiveamprayer! You gotta put it on--because if you didn't have to put it on God would not tell you to put it on! It is not automatic, He says the whole armor, not some. Put it on!

Fiveamprayer we have to trust and believe that the Lord indeed is truly with us! We are winning this battle because God is fighting it and He never looses! I like the image of victory from Joshua placing your foot on the neck of your enemy! That is why we must not allow the enemy to get us alone without our armor. One of the purposes of fear is to keep you quiet and unable to move. No more of the enemy grabbing us by the neck. The devil does not want us to speak God's word or the name that is above every name! JESUS! We have to stay armored up to remain in the victory that God has already won for us! So go out against him, fear not nor be dismayed the Lord is with you, fiveamprayer!

Do Not Labor For Food That Perishes!
John 6:22-35; Numbers 23:19; Philippians 4:19; John 6:47-48; Nehemiah 8:10; Jeremiah 15:16; Psalm 37:34; Colossians 3:23-24; 1 Corinthians 2:9; John 14:2-3; 2 Corinthians 1:20; Matthew 6:19-21
We are walking in today: Do Not Labor For Food That Perishes!
John 6:22-35 22 The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone; 23 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:) 24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus. 25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? 26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. 27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. 28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. 30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work? 31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. 32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. 35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. I AM the bread of life, whosoever comes to Me shall not hunger and whosoever believes in Me shall never thirst! This is what Jesus declares to the people, as well as us this morning. As Americans we worship our work and work at our play and play at our worship. It seems the only thing we don't take seriously is our worship. You have worked hard to provide a home for your family and to put food on the table. Do you work as hard to make that home a place of prayer? Jesus calls us to seek after eternal food, for holy food that has forever benefits. Not like the food of this world that will perish. We have been rebuked and chastised by His words and in repentance we ask like the crowd what must we do to be doing the work of God? What deeds are necessary for us to receive this eternal food. We are used to working for our food--the perishing food of this world. And so we are ready to work for that eternal food. But the answer of Jesus is shocking--this is the work of God that you believe in, Him who He has sent. God does all of the work. He sends His Son to this earth, who gives to us this food that endures to eternal life. Indeed as Jesus said at the end of verse 27 on Him, God has set His seal. The Son of Man, Jesus Christ Himself has been sealed as the Messiah, marked as the one whom God will give this food that endures. All that is required to receive eternal food is faith. To believe in Him who He has sent--that faith is the work of God. It is God's work within you. He creates faith, He is the one working in you, so that you can believe in Jesus. So that you can receive and partake of eternal food that He gives. Jesus is the eternal bread. The bread that gives life because He has come to conquer death. That was the work and the labor that was ahead of Him. His was a race of endurance. He endured the insults of men, the temptation of satan, the wrath of God and even death itself. His labor was more intense. His work more difficult than anything that you or I or anyone else has ever faced. And He conquered it. He won victory upon the cross. From there the bread of life was offered for the sins of the world. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit--all work together to bring you the bread of life. The only thing that endures, the only bread that gives life. You will enjoy that bread for all eternity, all who receive this bread will live forever. When Jesus said I AM the bread of life, He alone can satisfy our deepest needs. But His mission on earth was to satisfy our deepest supernatural needs. Jesus alone can fully satisfy you. Perish is defined as starved, famished, die of food deprivation. Jesus is saying labor has a wider meaning--don't focus on nor give all of your time to that which perishes. Even if you need it for the present life. This life is passing away and if all you did was to feed, clothe and amuse yourself, then your life has been wasted. Where your treasures are, there your heart will be also. The bread from heaven, the living water--these divine words will not pass away. In our relationship with God, which is the only thing that we can take with us, when we die and must be where our most focused and substantiated attention abodes. Let what is perishable, perish. Let what endures, endure. Seek to choose what leads to the imperishable.
I don't know about you this morning, but Jesus is the only bread that we need! He came that we would have life more abundantly. We have to feed ourselves spiritual food: His wisdom and knowledge. Get up early, seeking God. There is no one else like You, God! Stand on His word, it will not return void. He is the bread of life! We must hasten to His throne. We must endure in this time and season. Stand on His word and believe that He will provide for you. You got to know what kind of God that we serve! Why run after everything else but God?! He is Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah Tsidkenu and Emmanuel. He shows up with grace and mercy. Stay on the path that He placed you on! Keep standing on His promises. 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 have to stop working for things that will perish. Seek the things that are eternal! God is opening doors that no man can shut and shutting doors that no man can open. He is the only one that has brought this all into existence. He has already made provision for us! He is all that you need! The people just watched Jesus preform miracles and were still looking for other signs. Seek Him, only He can fix it! No matter what you are faced with! He is Alpha and Omega! He is all that we need! Stop operating in self. Set yourself and see the salvation of the Lord with you! Stop working for food that will perish. Keep praying without ceasing. Stand on His word. Do not labor for food that perishes. Seek God and trust Him! Seek God and put Him first! He is the bread of life, what God has for us we shall never hunger or thirst again! Look to God--Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. We have to stand on His word, that is what created everything anyway. Why would you put trust in anything else?! You are El Shaddai, You alone can fix it! No matter what we are faced with, there is nothing too hard for You! Lord, You are Alpha and Omega! Look to God, He is all that you need. Stop operating in self. Set yourself and see the salvation of the Lord with us! Stop working for food that will perish. Keep on praying without ceasing! Stand on His word. We must seek God and trust Him! Seek Him and put Him first! He is our bread from heaven! John 6:47-48 47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. 48 I am that bread of life. Seek out God, He alone satisfies! Only He can reach down into the dark places to truly heal and restore. He is the only one who can put the shattered and broken pieces back together again. The bread that Moses gave, came from You, Lord! Thank You God for sending us bread from heaven. Look to Jesus, He is the bread of heaven. There was a seal on Jesus--He died at the cross and got up three days later--it is already done! Do not conform to this world, come out from among them! God doesn't operate like the world. This is harvest time, He told us that the earth is ripe. We must trust God and stand still and see the salvation of the Lord with us! Lord, You are our bread of heaven! Lord, thank You for feeding us through Your word! Nehemiah 8:10 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength. Fiveamprayer, His strength is made perfect in our weakness! Keep reading His word! Do not labor for food that will perish. Why would we continue to labor over stuff that will not produce anything substantial? We are to meditate on His word day and night. Just imagine the people seeing Jesus feed the 5,000 and still asking Him for signs?! He is the bread of life! All that you need is found in Him! God comes to tell us this morning--I AM your source! I AM your mind regulator! I AM your perfect peace! He is the bread of life, stand on His word. Feed yourselves spiritually and put on the whole armor of God! Jeremiah 15:16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts. Stop laboring for things that will perish. Keep standing and believing on the word of God. Thank You for coming to let us know not to labor for food that will perish. Have us to take a look at ourselves, are we really seeking God? Are we doing all that we can to support the kingdom of God? Are you truly sold out for God? We have to know that no matter what, His grace is sufficient. We lift up fiveamprayer this morning that we can look to You and hear You say, I AM the the bread of life. I supply all of your needs. I AM Jehovah Jireh! I AM your Shepherd. They that seek Me, find Me! We lift up prayer requests let them hear God say, I AM your healer! I AM your deliverer! I AM your grace. I AM your way out! I AM the bread of life. Ask for forgiveness for asking for signs, you know that no one else but God could have done that thing. No more questions of how do I know, when God has given you all kinds of confirmation. Forgive us Lord, we repent for questioning what You have told us.
We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: Do not labor for food that perishes!
Welcome to the overflow...
Psalm 37:34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. Colossians 3:23-24 23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; 24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. John 14:2-3 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 2 Corinthians 1:20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. I AM the bread of life! They that hunger and thirst after righteousness shall be filled! What have you been believing God for? Examine yourself and see if you are seeking for things that will perish. Are you seeking Him first? Are you saying not my will, but Thy will be done? What a mighty God we serve! He comes to remind us today that many of us are working and sacrificing for everything but Him! He came that we would have life more abundantly. Set your affections on the things that are above--Matthew 6:19-21 19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Be careful, fiveamprayer of who or what you are making your god. There is a quiet storm on the line this morning, God comes to tell us that He is bread of life. Stop working yourself to death. God is the provider not the money! He should be the first thing on your mind when you wake up. Get up giving Him thanks and giving Him glory. He is still making miracles. They that hunger and thirst after righteousness shall be filled! He is the living word! Bread from heaven, feed us until we want no more. Stand on His word. Hallelujah! Glory to His name!

John 6:22-35 22 The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone; 23 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:) 24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus. 25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? 26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. 27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. 28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. 30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work? 31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. 32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. 35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. I AM the bread of life, whosoever comes to Me shall not hunger and whosoever believes in Me shall never thirst! This is what Jesus declares to the people, as well as us this morning. As Americans we worship our work and work at our play and play at our worship. It seems the only thing we don't take seriously is our worship. You have worked hard to provide a home for your family and to put food on the table. Do you work as hard to make that home a place of prayer? Jesus calls us to seek after eternal food, for holy food that has forever benefits. Not like the food of this world that will perish. We have been rebuked and chastised by His words and in repentance we ask like the crowd what must we do to be doing the work of God? What deeds are necessary for us to receive this eternal food. We are used to working for our food--the perishing food of this world. And so we are ready to work for that eternal food. But the answer of Jesus is shocking--this is the work of God that you believe in, Him who He has sent. God does all of the work. He sends His Son to this earth, who gives to us this food that endures to eternal life. Indeed as Jesus said at the end of verse 27 on Him, God has set His seal. The Son of Man, Jesus Christ Himself has been sealed as the Messiah, marked as the one whom God will give this food that endures. All that is required to receive eternal food is faith. To believe in Him who He has sent--that faith is the work of God. It is God's work within you. He creates faith, He is the one working in you, so that you can believe in Jesus. So that you can receive and partake of eternal food that He gives. Jesus is the eternal bread. The bread that gives life because He has come to conquer death. That was the work and the labor that was ahead of Him. His was a race of endurance. He endured the insults of men, the temptation of satan, the wrath of God and even death itself. His labor was more intense. His work more difficult than anything that you or I or anyone else has ever faced. And He conquered it. He won victory upon the cross. From there the bread of life was offered for the sins of the world. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit--all work together to bring you the bread of life. The only thing that endures, the only bread that gives life. You will enjoy that bread for all eternity, all who receive this bread will live forever. When Jesus said I AM the bread of life, He alone can satisfy our deepest needs. But His mission on earth was to satisfy our deepest supernatural needs. Jesus alone can fully satisfy you. Perish is defined as starved, famished, die of food deprivation. Jesus is saying labor has a wider meaning--don't focus on nor give all of your time to that which perishes. Even if you need it for the present life. This life is passing away and if all you did was to feed, clothe and amuse yourself, then your life has been wasted. Where your treasures are, there your heart will be also. The bread from heaven, the living water--these divine words will not pass away. In our relationship with God, which is the only thing that we can take with us, when we die and must be where our most focused and substantiated attention abodes. Let what is perishable, perish. Let what endures, endure. Seek to choose what leads to the imperishable.
I don't know about you this morning, but Jesus is the only bread that we need! He came that we would have life more abundantly. We have to feed ourselves spiritual food: His wisdom and knowledge. Get up early, seeking God. There is no one else like You, God! Stand on His word, it will not return void. He is the bread of life! We must hasten to His throne. We must endure in this time and season. Stand on His word and believe that He will provide for you. You got to know what kind of God that we serve! Why run after everything else but God?! He is Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah Tsidkenu and Emmanuel. He shows up with grace and mercy. Stay on the path that He placed you on! Keep standing on His promises. 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 have to stop working for things that will perish. Seek the things that are eternal! God is opening doors that no man can shut and shutting doors that no man can open. He is the only one that has brought this all into existence. He has already made provision for us! He is all that you need! The people just watched Jesus preform miracles and were still looking for other signs. Seek Him, only He can fix it! No matter what you are faced with! He is Alpha and Omega! He is all that we need! Stop operating in self. Set yourself and see the salvation of the Lord with you! Stop working for food that will perish. Keep praying without ceasing. Stand on His word. Do not labor for food that perishes. Seek God and trust Him! Seek God and put Him first! He is the bread of life, what God has for us we shall never hunger or thirst again! Look to God--Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. We have to stand on His word, that is what created everything anyway. Why would you put trust in anything else?! You are El Shaddai, You alone can fix it! No matter what we are faced with, there is nothing too hard for You! Lord, You are Alpha and Omega! Look to God, He is all that you need. Stop operating in self. Set yourself and see the salvation of the Lord with us! Stop working for food that will perish. Keep on praying without ceasing! Stand on His word. We must seek God and trust Him! Seek Him and put Him first! He is our bread from heaven! John 6:47-48 47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. 48 I am that bread of life. Seek out God, He alone satisfies! Only He can reach down into the dark places to truly heal and restore. He is the only one who can put the shattered and broken pieces back together again. The bread that Moses gave, came from You, Lord! Thank You God for sending us bread from heaven. Look to Jesus, He is the bread of heaven. There was a seal on Jesus--He died at the cross and got up three days later--it is already done! Do not conform to this world, come out from among them! God doesn't operate like the world. This is harvest time, He told us that the earth is ripe. We must trust God and stand still and see the salvation of the Lord with us! Lord, You are our bread of heaven! Lord, thank You for feeding us through Your word! Nehemiah 8:10 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength. Fiveamprayer, His strength is made perfect in our weakness! Keep reading His word! Do not labor for food that will perish. Why would we continue to labor over stuff that will not produce anything substantial? We are to meditate on His word day and night. Just imagine the people seeing Jesus feed the 5,000 and still asking Him for signs?! He is the bread of life! All that you need is found in Him! God comes to tell us this morning--I AM your source! I AM your mind regulator! I AM your perfect peace! He is the bread of life, stand on His word. Feed yourselves spiritually and put on the whole armor of God! Jeremiah 15:16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts. Stop laboring for things that will perish. Keep standing and believing on the word of God. Thank You for coming to let us know not to labor for food that will perish. Have us to take a look at ourselves, are we really seeking God? Are we doing all that we can to support the kingdom of God? Are you truly sold out for God? We have to know that no matter what, His grace is sufficient. We lift up fiveamprayer this morning that we can look to You and hear You say, I AM the the bread of life. I supply all of your needs. I AM Jehovah Jireh! I AM your Shepherd. They that seek Me, find Me! We lift up prayer requests let them hear God say, I AM your healer! I AM your deliverer! I AM your grace. I AM your way out! I AM the bread of life. Ask for forgiveness for asking for signs, you know that no one else but God could have done that thing. No more questions of how do I know, when God has given you all kinds of confirmation. Forgive us Lord, we repent for questioning what You have told us.
We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: Do not labor for food that perishes!

Psalm 37:34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. Colossians 3:23-24 23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; 24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. John 14:2-3 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 2 Corinthians 1:20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. I AM the bread of life! They that hunger and thirst after righteousness shall be filled! What have you been believing God for? Examine yourself and see if you are seeking for things that will perish. Are you seeking Him first? Are you saying not my will, but Thy will be done? What a mighty God we serve! He comes to remind us today that many of us are working and sacrificing for everything but Him! He came that we would have life more abundantly. Set your affections on the things that are above--Matthew 6:19-21 19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Be careful, fiveamprayer of who or what you are making your god. There is a quiet storm on the line this morning, God comes to tell us that He is bread of life. Stop working yourself to death. God is the provider not the money! He should be the first thing on your mind when you wake up. Get up giving Him thanks and giving Him glory. He is still making miracles. They that hunger and thirst after righteousness shall be filled! He is the living word! Bread from heaven, feed us until we want no more. Stand on His word. Hallelujah! Glory to His name!

We are walking in today: Watch God Turn Things Around!
Genesis 50:20 20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. Psalm 126:1-6 1 When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. 2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them. 3 The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. 4 Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the south. 5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. 6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. We are a remnant, on yesterday we gave God something to work with, now watch Him turn things around! They tried to set traps for you, but it is all being turned around for your good! They spoke all manner of evil against you, but it turned out for your good. They let hell hounds loose on you and they got some demons to come against you, but the Lord made your enemies your footstool! Set yourself, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord with you. Fiveamprayer, this battle is not yours it is the Lord's! Remember we are standing on 2 Chronicles 20:17 Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you. As for you, devil you thought evil against me--the enemy plotted to take me out. The adversary plotted to take me down. The devil wanted my job, my position, he wanted me to be dismissed, he wanted me to be fired, he wanted me to be terminated. The devil is a liar! I Am standing on the word of God! Look what a release does for you! Keep standing on the promises of Christ, my Savior. The enemy plotted against me--had meetings behind closed doors, then got on the hella-phone and sent out text messages and emails. What he meant for harm, God turned it for my good! God came from heaven, to tell us this morning to that He is. Those two words right there hold all the power of the universe in them! Trust in He who was not made nor can be duplicated! The only the first and the last the eternal the ancient one! Revelation 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. God is up to something! Fiveamprayer get ready for your miracle. Eyes have not seen nor ears heard what God has prepared for you and you and you on this line! Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. He is here to let us know what is to come is better than what has been! That is your future, fiveamprayer! It is going to be better than your past. Just like God did for Job in chapter 42 and 12. We have to make up our mind to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord with us! You have not seen nothing yet! The best is yet to come! Morning by morning we wake up to brand new mercies. Those He ordained, He will maintain. God is going to make it better, your future is going to be better than your past. Forget those things that are behind--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. But we must not forget that we are to reach toward the things that are before. Reach out and knock out the obstacles and barriers that prevent you from being free. Let God turn things around in your life. Reach out of your cage. Reach out of your box. Reach out of your comfort zone. We have to keep pressing toward the mark of the prize of the high calling of Christ Jesus! If you want God to turn something around in your life, let's tell Him in this life! We need you more than ever before! In telling Him that, the power of life and death is in our tongues, therefore I urge you to speak life! Then you can say like David did to the who giant, he slayed: 1 Samuel 17:45-46 45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. 46 This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. Boldly speak to your enemies, tell that giant that you have come to me with weapons but I come in the name of the Lord! I come with the One who makes a way out of no way! I come with the One who knows all things! I come with the One who is mighty in battle! I come with the One who can deliver me! The One that said all I have to do is stand still and see the salvation of the Lord with you! 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. I come with the One who knows the end from the very beginning and the beginning from the end. He is opening up a window and pouring out blessings that there will not be room enough to receive! I come with the One who makes everything turn around for my good, in the name of Jesus! I come with the One who's grace is sufficient.
I don't know about you, but God is about to turn somethings around in your life! He is making your enemies your footstool. He prepares a table for us in the presence of our enemies. I need God to turn somethings around in my life! He is God and He is God all by Himself! He is the great I AM! He is holy and righteous! He is our shield in the storm and He will turn things around for our good! All that rain that was pouring down on us while we were in that storm was bringing to maturity the harvest that we are to reap! Weeping may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning! I am so excited to see God turn things around in my life! I can stand still and see my God fighting for me! That is why He told us to ask for the impossible and to expect the unexpected! The devil is a deceiver, he will make you think that all hell is breaking loose! But God is telling you to be still, He has already gone before you. He is Jehovah Jireh and Jehovah Shalom! He is the only one who can give us perfect peace! Watch God turn things around for you! Overflow blessings, His strength and knowledge of who He is--is is already on it's way to you. You will not need to fight in this battle! I Am a remnant! I am expecting God to do some new things in my life. He told us on January 1 that the Earth is ripe, it is harvest time! Watch the healing and miracles show up like never before! Watch God turn things around! All you have been struggling with, watch Him turn it around! We will keep on pressing, no matter how you feel! I trust You Lord! Watch God turn things around for you! It is all working together for our good, fiveamprayer! Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. This is all for His purpose not our own! Be still and watch God turn things around in our lives! We serve a mighty God, a all knowing God. Let God be God and take your hands off of it! We are watching God turn things around in our lives! Weeping may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning. God is restoring our joy! Watch God turn things around! The devil has been plotting in your marriage, job, family and finances. Watch God turn it around! He is Jehovah Jireh--He alone, is the supplier of all our our needs! He is the same yesterday, today and forever more! The same God that was fighting back in the days of Joshua, is the same God that is fighting for me! The same God that was fighting for King Jehoshaphat, is the same God that is fighting for me! The same God that told David to take one rock and sling it, is the same God that I serve! I serve a one shot God! I don't know about you, but our God with one shot reconciles your marriage, with one shot restores your soul, with one shot His gives us peace that surpasses all understanding. Fiveamprayer, we serve a one shot God! That is the kind of God that we serve! Sometimes you have got to pick yourself up and encourage yourself. We are walking by faith and not by sight! We have to get up everyday and be suited up for battle having on the whole armor of God! Watch God turn some things around in your life! The devil is still a liar and he is plotting against you. The enemies main place of attack is in your mind, through your natural eyes. See this thing in the spiritual--watch God turn some things around for you! What the devil meant for evil, God turns it around for our good! We won't back down nor turn around! We may bend but we won't break! We are in a new Jerusalem. Take off your shoes you are standing on holy ground! Our latter shall be greatly increased! 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? Fiveamprayer, we have to know that He has it already done, it is already finished! Did you really think the devil wasn't going to come against you as he plants seeds of doubt?! 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. This is our time and our season! I am walking in the promises of God! I have already overcome! I Am a force to be reckoned with! You had better know who you are! The devil knows who you are. Psalm 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. Watch God turn things around in your life! There are things that you have been waiting on, keep standing on the promises of God! Fiveamprayer stand still and see the salvation of the Lord! Be unmovable, steadfast always abiding in Him! I will not be moved! 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. Hallelujah God! Watch God turn things around for your good! We are to watch and pray! We are to pray without ceasing. Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. God is a rewarder to those that diligently seek Him! Hallelujah God! Get up and start fighting, you have to know who you are! Watch God turn things around! Give Him the glory and praise! Hallelujah God we are still here! We get up this morning! All that the devil had plotted against us turned around for our good! We are still here! I Am a force to be reckoned with! God still has me on a mission, He still has me on assignment! Watch God turn things around for you! Give Him some praise! Thank You God! Holy, holy holy is Your name!

Give God Something To Work With!
Genesis 8:22; Matthew 17:20; Genesis 1:12; Philippians 4:19; Luke 6:38; Mark 11:24; Matthew 14:17,19-20; Exodus 34:14; Hebrews 11:6
We are walking in today: Give God Something To Work With!
Genesis 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Now that we know that we are the remnant, give God something to work with! We must get the understanding of seed faith down in this season. God is looking to bless the remnant by faith. We know that we are on holy ground! Ask God to plant your feet by faith. The earth is truly ripe but where is your seed faith? Everything in life starts with a seed. Including the things we receive by faith. In Genesis 8:22 God says while the earth remains seed-time and harvest shall not cease. The eternal law of seed-time and harvest, Jesus compared faith to a seed--Matthew 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. When we put our faith in God's hands it is like a seed we planted--we are giving God something to work with! And He will send the miracle that we need. No matter how small our faith seems to be, it will meet needs and solve problems that appear impossible, like moving mountains. This is because each act is a seed planted and it will multiply many times. Genesis 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. The seed of faith principle that we find in the Bible contains three keys we have to recognize that God is our source. Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. God will supply all our our needs according to His riches for us, His love for us, His power for us and His wisdom to guide us. He may use different resources like a job, gift, family or friends to meet out needs, but He alone is the source! He alone can not fail! The second principle, we are to give so that it may be given unto us. Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. We must first plant a seed of faith, so that God can multiply it back to us to meet our needs. Jesus is talking about giving in the deepest sense of the word. The giving of ourselves to God. This includes, anything we can give--love, time, patience, forgiveness, finances and prayer, whatever we have. Our giving reflects our trust in God and thankfulness. It links us to God in exhaustible resources for our every need. There is no way we can give to God without receiving something back from Him multiplied! The third principle is to expect a miracle--Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. The moment we ask God for something, the moment we do our part, God plants our seed of faith. We should believe God that the answer is on the way. It is important to expect our miracles so we can recognize them, and we reach forth to take it when it comes. It is also important to remember that God controls the time and the method, He will use to give back to us. Keep trusting and expecting our miracle. No matter how long it takes to reach us! Give God something to work with! No matter how little you think you have, sow it in joy and faith, knowing in your heart that you are sowing seed so you can reap miracles, then start expecting all kinds of miracles. He always sends the right answer at the right time and the right way. His timing and methods are always exactly right in our lives! Seed-time and harvest, seed of faith, but you have got to to give God something to work with!
I don't care what is going on in your life, seed-time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night--will not cease. Give God something to work with. We must plant seeds of faith. Give God something to work with! As the scripture says in Genesis 8:22, that there will be seed-time and harvest. We pray but do we really turn it over to God? Are you sowing in this time and season? Give God something to work with. You do know that it all belongs to Him anyway, don't you! In a tough time will you sow and continue to do so? He is directing your path but will you follow where He is leading you? The earth is ripe, this is heaven on earth, new Jerusalem--we must have a new mindset as we stand on His promises. No one provides like Him! Plant a seed of faith and just trust Him! He gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater. We know that faith without works is dead and without faith it is impossible to please Him. Turn it all over to Him! We must deny ourselves and ask, Lord what would You have me to do? Give Him your stuff, hand it all over to Him. He alone can touch, heal and restore us! Thy will be done, Lord! Give Him something to work with! He is working all things together for our good! No matter what it looks like, I will trust Him! My thoughts are not like His thoughts. His ways are not like my ways. Thank You God that your thoughts and ways are much higher than ours! We come to You to lay our burdens down and trust You. We totally yield to You, God! We will be obedient to what You have given us to do. He is our Shepherd and we shall not want. Lord, You are so awesome and holy! We set down trying to figure this out by yourselves-- we must know and trust God is in control. He has you in the palm of His hand, rest in Him. Rely on Him. Trust in Him! He is Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah Shalom, Jehovah Tsidkenu, only with God is all things made possible. Trust Him, hold on to Him, no matter what it looks like or how you feel. We are to pray without ceasing. Truly trust Him, stay on that fast and keep seeking Him. Lay it all down and walk in forgiveness. Don't hinder yourself, because you want to hold on to offenses!

Matthew 14:17(AMP) 17 They said to Him, We have nothing here but five loaves and two fish. 19 Then He ordered the crowds to recline on the grass; and He took the five loaves and the two fish, and, looking up to heaven, He gave thanks and blessed and broke the loaves and handed the pieces to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20 And they all ate and were satisfied.

We are walking in today: Give God Something To Work With!
Genesis 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Now that we know that we are the remnant, give God something to work with! We must get the understanding of seed faith down in this season. God is looking to bless the remnant by faith. We know that we are on holy ground! Ask God to plant your feet by faith. The earth is truly ripe but where is your seed faith? Everything in life starts with a seed. Including the things we receive by faith. In Genesis 8:22 God says while the earth remains seed-time and harvest shall not cease. The eternal law of seed-time and harvest, Jesus compared faith to a seed--Matthew 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. When we put our faith in God's hands it is like a seed we planted--we are giving God something to work with! And He will send the miracle that we need. No matter how small our faith seems to be, it will meet needs and solve problems that appear impossible, like moving mountains. This is because each act is a seed planted and it will multiply many times. Genesis 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. The seed of faith principle that we find in the Bible contains three keys we have to recognize that God is our source. Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. God will supply all our our needs according to His riches for us, His love for us, His power for us and His wisdom to guide us. He may use different resources like a job, gift, family or friends to meet out needs, but He alone is the source! He alone can not fail! The second principle, we are to give so that it may be given unto us. Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. We must first plant a seed of faith, so that God can multiply it back to us to meet our needs. Jesus is talking about giving in the deepest sense of the word. The giving of ourselves to God. This includes, anything we can give--love, time, patience, forgiveness, finances and prayer, whatever we have. Our giving reflects our trust in God and thankfulness. It links us to God in exhaustible resources for our every need. There is no way we can give to God without receiving something back from Him multiplied! The third principle is to expect a miracle--Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. The moment we ask God for something, the moment we do our part, God plants our seed of faith. We should believe God that the answer is on the way. It is important to expect our miracles so we can recognize them, and we reach forth to take it when it comes. It is also important to remember that God controls the time and the method, He will use to give back to us. Keep trusting and expecting our miracle. No matter how long it takes to reach us! Give God something to work with! No matter how little you think you have, sow it in joy and faith, knowing in your heart that you are sowing seed so you can reap miracles, then start expecting all kinds of miracles. He always sends the right answer at the right time and the right way. His timing and methods are always exactly right in our lives! Seed-time and harvest, seed of faith, but you have got to to give God something to work with!
I don't care what is going on in your life, seed-time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night--will not cease. Give God something to work with. We must plant seeds of faith. Give God something to work with! As the scripture says in Genesis 8:22, that there will be seed-time and harvest. We pray but do we really turn it over to God? Are you sowing in this time and season? Give God something to work with. You do know that it all belongs to Him anyway, don't you! In a tough time will you sow and continue to do so? He is directing your path but will you follow where He is leading you? The earth is ripe, this is heaven on earth, new Jerusalem--we must have a new mindset as we stand on His promises. No one provides like Him! Plant a seed of faith and just trust Him! He gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater. We know that faith without works is dead and without faith it is impossible to please Him. Turn it all over to Him! We must deny ourselves and ask, Lord what would You have me to do? Give Him your stuff, hand it all over to Him. He alone can touch, heal and restore us! Thy will be done, Lord! Give Him something to work with! He is working all things together for our good! No matter what it looks like, I will trust Him! My thoughts are not like His thoughts. His ways are not like my ways. Thank You God that your thoughts and ways are much higher than ours! We come to You to lay our burdens down and trust You. We totally yield to You, God! We will be obedient to what You have given us to do. He is our Shepherd and we shall not want. Lord, You are so awesome and holy! We set down trying to figure this out by yourselves-- we must know and trust God is in control. He has you in the palm of His hand, rest in Him. Rely on Him. Trust in Him! He is Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah Shalom, Jehovah Tsidkenu, only with God is all things made possible. Trust Him, hold on to Him, no matter what it looks like or how you feel. We are to pray without ceasing. Truly trust Him, stay on that fast and keep seeking Him. Lay it all down and walk in forgiveness. Don't hinder yourself, because you want to hold on to offenses! Know that God is the only one in control! Make and mold us, Lord into what You would craft us to be. Give it to God, your first fruits. Thank You God! If I had 10,000 I could not thank You enough! He has been just that good! Gooder and gooder is the Lord! He is always there, turn it over to Him and say His will be done! He told us that we are the remnant. Look to Him to open doors that no man can shut and to shut doors that no man can open. Look to God who is the Way the Truth and the Life! Be still and see the salvation of the Lord with you! He is showing us His glory! The great I AM! Give Him something to work with! He is our healer, reach out and touch the hem of His garment. He supplies all of our needs according to His riches in glory! He is our source of provision--the source of all things! Thank You God for being our Jehovah Shalom, that is how we can have peace that surpasses all understanding. The joy of the Lord is our strength!
