We are walking in today: One Mindset!
Genesis 11:6-7 6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. We can stand strong against our imaginations on one accord. Fiveamprayer we are a Divine Destiny Connection, the chain that links us together! Each of us are a link with different gifts and talents. We have become stronger with every link. One mindset can break the yolk of the enemy when dealing with our minds! Having thoughts that are not our own, the enemy is battling us in our minds! But as soon as we link ourselves together, on one mindset, the enemy and his weapons formed--will not prosper! We need to stand on one mindset! Look at Genesis 11:6, And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Fiveamprayer we are on one accord, that is why this is our year for asking for the impossible. In unity there is commanded blessings. Psalms 133:1-3 1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; 3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore. The power of one mindset will defeat the enemy. Line up your thoughts this morning, with the word of God. As God's remnant, is of one mind, one purpose, one impulse, one basis and one authority! That's of the scripture alone! He exercises His power through us! Acts 1:12-15 12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olives, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey. 13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James. 14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. 15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,) Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. As we take into consideration of the upper room remnant. We turn the question to preparation and unity--prayer and supplication during their 10 days together. The Greek word for prayer in the message is proseuché which is the common new testament term of prayer addressed to God. This word is also, sometimes denoted as a place that was devoted for prayer, as well as the act of praying. Somebody shout glory! The upper room was a place that was devoted to prayer and those gathered there were praying people! The Greek word for supplication, deésis which denotes a petition to God that stresses a need. Ask God for the impossible. We are the remnant in the upper room. These people recognize that they were a needy people without resources of their own. They had no economic power, no political power, no religious power. they had no spiritual power in and of themselves. But they recognized the source of all power! They waited and petitioned God. For that which Christ had promised to bestow on them. No doubt some at times were questioning how Jesus' word of this promise could possibly be fulfilled. Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. They have known that this could only be true if God brought it about. This sounds like fiveamprayer! Expect the unexpected, by faith. Prayer is preparation for doing, but far too often we want to be busy doing things without adequate preparation and prayer--to our shame. Today's church does little of this upper room kind of praying. Often effectively going through the motions, instead of really doing business with God in prayer. Often we do it as a formality, to ask for God's stamp of approval on things we have already decided to do--all of this without seeking His face. Often it involves little or no sense of the total inadequacies and utter need of resources that are not our own. Christ condemned the church in Revelations--because they thought it had all the resources that it needed when in fact is was wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked in the things that truly mattered to God. Revelation 3:17-18 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. This is what the upper room remnant was doing on one accord. Prayer. It is a a part of our unity. As we lift our hearts and our voices together to God like the inspired writer of Acts, Luke wrote in, Acts 1:14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. In these two verses he shares that they were gathered together on one accord. We come to gather on one accord, fiveamprayer! Lord we pray that we would continue on one accord! Lord have us to grow on one accord. As the Holy Spirit illuminates the scriptures for us as we cast down imaginations on Monday--it changed our mindset. We are the remnant on one accord--like minded in God's word! Amen!
Let me tell you when you get a people on one accord to call on God, nothing is impossible for them! Nehemiah 4:6 So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work. Look at what people on one accord can do! We are in this together, fiveamprayer! We stand on one accord on the promises of our great and mighty God--Nehemiah 4:14 And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses. Our God is so awesome! There is none like Him! 2 Chronicles 20:6 And said, O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee? One mind, one body, one language all in the upper room--the remnant, they got together in preparation for the Holy Spirit to fall on them! To receive the power to heal and cast out demons! Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Fiveamprayer, He is in the midst! We have gathered together to call on the name of Jesus! He is our Intercessor with the Father! He is asking God to pour down power on us! For we are asking You on one accord, for the impossible. Keep pressing and pulling on Him! Grasp on to Him, latch on to Him, hold fast to Him! He alone has your healing, your peace, your joy, and rest for your soul! God, You said if we called that You would answer us! We are to pray and not faint. Some times we are to pray and fast. Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. We can pray for the mountain to be cast into the sea! Thank You God! They were in the upper room, the remnant all in one place speaking one language--on one accord. They were praying and seeking His face. Do you need deliverance? Do you need healing? Do you need joy? Do you need peace? Get it right now, we are in the upper room! Thank You for having us prepare by laying aside every weight that so easily besets us! God has taken us to a new dimension in Him, we are beyond the veil--everything can't come in with you! You are in the upper room, fiveamprayer! We have not because you ask not! You are at the Father's feet, make your request. Lord, we ask that You cover our children, our marriages, send us healing. We want to be closer to You! We are to pray and not faint! We shall reap the harvest if we faint not. Fiveamprayer we are pulling and chasing after God! We need You Lord! Only Your ways are right and good! Some of us are putting our children on the alter, while others of us are putting ourselves on the alter. We come to ask You to have Your way God! We want more of You God and less of us! We need You Lord! Fill us with Your Holy Spirit! More and more of You God--we are in the upper room, the remnant! God is moving when the house is still, so early in the morning! Get into His presence and hear from Him! The Lord is in the temple, let all the earth be silent. He is moving and asking what do you need? Look at what happens when we are on one accord! That we gather together to seek His face. He is wrapping His arms around this prayer circle, thank You God! 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. God put us on one accord this morning! Your breakthrough was depending on us getting on one accord--together calling out to Jesus! Matthew 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. He is our healer! Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Fiveamprayer, He has already made us free! In your finances, what do you need? He is Jehovah Jireh! He is moving in your ministry, through you! Every petition that you send up, touching and agreeing--it is already done! No doubt or fear! Believe to receive it! We are in the upper room. We are the remnant, on one accord. Can you imagine James, John, Peter and everyone else--when they got together in one place, with one purpose, on one accord to seek His face!? They were all expecting from God! Thank You Lord that You do not disappoint! Won't He show up?! What power! What peace! What love! Thank You God, You are so good to us! Thank You for loving us like this, Jesus! What a holy and worthy God, You are! Just to be in His presence and us all calling on the name of Jesus! That we gather together to hear His word! And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. What have you been expecting from God? Fiveamprayer is one--nothing will be restrained from us, whatever we imagine to do! Expect the unexpected, by faith! His grace is sufficient! We are the remnant, on one accord like those in the upper room calling on God, on one accord. Your breakthrough happens today! Deliverance, healing--it all happens today! Nothing is restrained from us--because we believe and we are one. The people is one, nothing will be restrained from them--straight from God's lips! Psalm 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. He is showing us His glory! When you get together and pull on God--when you grasp onto Him, clinging to Him, fastened on to Him--with no plans of ever letting go-- certainly gets His attention. This is telling Him that no one else can do this but, You God. 2 Chronicles 20:6 And said, O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee? God will answer! 2 Chronicles 20:15 And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's. Fiveamprayer, in unity God commands the blessings! They came down and said the people are one--they will accomplish whatever they imagined to do! The people is one! Shout victory, right now! We have been waiting and seeking Him! We aren't letting go until You bless us Lord! We are on one accord! Thank You God! Thank You Holy Spirit! Hallelujah God! To hear this again click here.
We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: It is already done!
Welcome to the overflow...
Victory today is ours! It is already done. Already finished! Thank You Holy Spirit! When the enemy comes in like a flood, God lifts up a standard against it! No weapon formed against us shall prosper! Thank You Holy Spirit! Thank You God! When we all get together on one accord--God moves! Behold the people are one! God is looking down on us smiling right now! What a mighty move of God. We just want to stay in Your presence. They were gathered together in the upper room. Thank You God for Your power. James, John and the others were human just like us. Get into position and believe God's word. Like Joshua asking the sun and the moon to stand still. God is no respecter of persons--certainly we can ask for healing and deliverance! One mindset, praying and seeking His face! Thank You Lord! Visit us on facebook and keep your mind stayed on God, that we stay on one accord. Have a blessed day! Amen!
