Do What You Can Do!

Mark 14:6-8; Judges 6:15; Ephesians 3:8, 1:3, 1:5, 1:11, 1:13-14, 1:18, 1:23, 2:1, 2:15-16, 2:18, 2:19, 2:21-22; Nehemiah 4:6; Isaiah 41:7; John 5:19

We are walking in today:  Do What You Can Do!


Mark 14:8  She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.  He told us on yesterday how to, then today He comes to tell us to do what we can do.  Have you ever had a verse that you read in the Bible and you have read past it many times?  Then suddenly it jumps out at you?  Mark 14:6-8 6) And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. 7) For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always. 8) She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.  So unless, I am missing the point, it would appear that the Prince of Peace, the Creator of all that is, the King of kings says that even if it doesn't amount to much in our eyes, it is our sincerity--do what you can do!  It is a good work for Him.  Boy that changes everything doesn't it?!  Do what you can do!  How easy it would have been for the woman to pass up the opportunity, not wanting to make a spectacle of herself or rationalizing who am I?  I'm nobody, I have little, this is Jesus, there is nothing that I can do that will matter.  How often do we hear or use similar excuses out of fear, complacency or avoidance?  I don't have enough time to be effective in ministry.  Do what you can do!  I don't make much money, my giving won't matter--do what you can do!  I can't sing or speak perfectly, I'm not a very good teacher--do what you can do!  I'm nobody, what difference can I ever really make?  Do what you can do!  I'm young, no one cares about what I think or what I can contribute.  Do what you can do!  I'm tired and have already done my share, my time has passed--do what you can do!  I'm scared, do what you can do!  I'm uncertain, do what you can do!  I'm unsure of God's will, but in the meantime, sister do what you can do.  I don't know much about the Bible or my faith--while you are learning, do what yo can do!  I have no clue how to tell others about Christ, while you are being trained in discipleship, do what you can do.  My life is a wreck, how can I matter in God's kingdom?  Do what you can do.  As Gideon and Paul both state their low rank--Judges 6:15 And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house. Ephesians 3:8  Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ.  Fiveamprayer, God is calling us to do what we can do!  He is not calling us to so that we can't do.  If it was not possible He would not be asking of you to do that thing that is on the inside of you!  Look at Gideon fighting a battle with 300 men and Paul who was formerly Saul who says that he is less than all of the saints!  Regardless of how they felt about themselves, they were obedient to God's instruction and did that they could do.  We are gonna be like Nike today and just do it, in the name of Jesus!  How proficient we are with excuses, sorry I mean reasons about not doing something for God or with our faith.  What small dreams or expectations we have in the kingdom because of the perceived things we can not do.  Jesus gave us the answer to that--do what you can do!  Remind yourself of what God has already declared true about you--remind yourself of what Jesus has already accomplished for you, by dying on the cross, taking your place.  Remind yourself about what God has already given you and is now at your disposal, the marvel at what you can do!  We walked in fact  yesterday--facts like, you are blessed with every spiritual blessing--Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.  God has given us everything we need and more!  He has left, nothing unfinished, unprepared or unsettled.  He has taken care of every aspect of this life and the one to come!  Fact--you were chosen by God before the foundation of the Earth, Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love.  Think of that, fiveamprayer!  God chose us before the creation of the world, before it was ever made!  He doesn't explain the reality of that to us in full, but it leaves us awestruck, at the thought of it.  Fact--you are holy and blameless before God because of Christ (Ephesians 1:4).  God sees us as He sees Christ.  Your sin was removed and placed on Christ.  And then Christ's holiness has been accounted to us.  Fact--you are predesignated to be adopted by God.  Ephesians 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will.  God has already decided that you were going to be one of His children, He predetermined this for His own good pleasure that you would be in His family.  Fact--you were redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ, it is Christ that bought us back from the slave trader of sin.  He paid the purchase price for you and for me!  Thank You Lord!  We now belong to Him.  Fact--your sins are forgiven.  When God  sees you on the day of judgement, you will have no sins that need to be paid for.  Fact--you have obtained an inheritance from God, Ephesians 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will.  As a child of God, you will receive an inheritance from God.  We so easily get excited by an inheritance from a earthly family member.  How much more exciting is an eternal inheritance?!  Fact--you are sealed with the garment of salvation, by the Holy Spirit, Ephesians 1:13-14 13) In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14) Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.  You are sealed with the guarantee of salvation, from none other than God Himself and the person of the Holy Spirit.  Could you ask for a better guarantee?!  Fact--you spiritual eyes have been opened to God's truth, Ephesians 1:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.  The truth of God that was once nonsense to you is now a heavenly treasure!  You spiritual eyes are opened, and God can now illuminate your heart concerning eternal truths.  Now you are gonna have some work to do on this weekend mediation. Get into the book of Ephesians, so you can get these facts.  Fact--Christ is your head and you are a part of His body which He fills all in all, Ephesians 1:23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.  Christ is now the head of a body that belongs to you.  You are a part of His body, you have a purpose, function and responsibility in life now.  He will fill you, all in all.  In order to be successful in your heavenly assignment. Fact--you were dead in sin but now are alive in Christ. Ephesians 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins.  You were dead in sin--dead, dead dead.  You were hopelessly enslaved in eternal separation from God.  Now we are alive in Christ.  You are alive and your destiny is now an eternity with Jesus!  Fact--you are seated in heavenly places with Jesus.  Ephesians 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.  You now share Christ's exaltation and preexistence above all the glory.  You are spiritually seated with Christ, already having had the blessings of salvation bestowed on you.  Fact--you are a product of God's personal work.  Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.  Like your salvation, your sanctification and good works are predetermined and orchestrated by a loving God who has planned them specifically for you alone.  Fact--you are a new person--at peace with God and reconciled to Him, Ephesians 2:15-16 15) Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; 16) And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby.  You are no longer at war against God.  God has no debt to collect from you--you have been reconciled and returned to His presence as a new person.  Fact--you now have direct access to the throne room of the King of the universe!  Ephesians 2:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.  You may now directly approach God because He sees you, as He sees Christ.  You now have access to the very throne room of heaven!  Fact--you are no longer a stranger, but a citizen of heaven and a member of God's household!  Ephesians 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God.  You are not a foreigner, no longer a stranger to God!  You are now one of His children, adopted into His family, welcome to His home!  Fact--you are a part of the holy dwelling of God.  Ephesians 2:21-22 21) In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22) In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.  You are now a part of the body of Christ, who's parts make up the temple that God in the Spirit dwells in.  So remind yourself of all these things, and to what you can do!  Jesus will be just as pleased with you as He is with the woman who anointed Him for His death, on our behalf.  Do whatever you can do--just do it and the Lord of life will say, you have done a good work for Me.  Well done my good and faithful servant!  Enter into the kingdom of the Lord!
So now that you know how to--just do it!  No more excuses, or reasons why!  Just do it!  Do what you can do!  It takes everybody to make a impact for the kingdom!  Look to see the what you can do!  God is not calling you to do things that you can not do, He calls you to do what you can do!  Then He strengthens you to do so!  Thank You God!  Let us get on the wall, together building it up together, like they did in, 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.  Isaiah 41:7 So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.  Fiveamprayer we all have a part that we can do, a part that is for us to do!  One can chase 1,000 but two can chase 10,000!  We are no longer stuck, we learned how to do a good work on yesterday for the Lord.  If He is calling you, walk it out, the Holy Spirit will guide you.  We will all have to fight!  We are in the army of the Lord!  We must get together and get busy about our Father's business!  John 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.  Be must get together on one accord!  We learned last week that we must all push in the same direction with like purposes!  What purpose is that?  That none be lost, that we are doing all things for His glory, not for self.  We are being called into action due to so many of us being inactive!  When do you get up and get in motion?  Right now is the time!  Do what you can do!  No matter how small it seems to us, the harvest is plenty but the labors are few.  Sure there are other people who can do something else, God is calling for you to do, that which you can do!  No more comparisons, excuses, reasons or explanations needed or wanted.  God knows what He put on the inside of you, and that is what He is looking to see in motion, in the building up of the kingdom!  No matter how small it seems, it is what God is calling you to do, how wonderful that He would ask us to move and line up with Him!  That we could be used to bring Him glory!  Thank You Lord for choosing us!  Hallelujah!  Do what yo can do, testify and tell others about Christ.  Get up and do what you can do.  What a weekend meditation!  What is that, you just sitting there in your church, and only the same person is helping out?!  We all have something that God has given us to do.  Pastors need help too!  Just do it!  Fight the devil, put on the whole armor or God!  Ask God what would You have me to do?  Tell Him that, "my confidence is You!"  Get up and move, it is through Christ, we can do all things!  It is getting late when no man can work.  This is about winning souls to Christ--not about numbers!  Give your testimony, do what you can do!  Just do it!  God has been waiting for you to get into position.  No more excuses, reasons, or delays.  You are to do what you can do.  Just get up and do it!  The blessing is in your doing what you can do.  Will you be obedient?  We know that obedience is better than sacrifice.  Stop sitting down on God, this is about kingdom business!  We must be diligent seekers of His word and workers of what He has given us to do!  Those that seek Him find Him. Those that are doing what God has called you to do, will be blessed.  God is showing up like never before!  He is leading and guiding us into all truth.  Do what you can do.  Don't look around, it is time to get into motion, do what you can do!  Let it be done all to the glory of God!  He has given us a new mindset, whatever You have for us Lord, we will do it!  We lift up prayer requests, have them rest in the knowledge that You will answer their prayers!  We come to repent for our excuses and reasons why we are not in motion.  Thank You Lord for forgiving us and casting our sins into the sea--that we are forgiven with no condemnation.  Thank You Lord to teaching us that we must forgive, to also be forgiven by You.  Thank You for waking us up with brand new mercies everyday in You!

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:   I will just do it!


Welcome to the overflow...

Lord, not our will, Thy will be done!  What would You have us to do?!  God is calling us, many are called but few are chosen.  You better answer the call!  What a mighty God we serve!  He showed us how to remain unstuck!  How to and to do what we can do.  Visit us on facebook, it will encourage you.  Take time out to read these scriptures for yourself!  Walk in this one!  Get in position and just do it!  Have a blessed day!

How To.


1 Thessalonians 4:1-8; Romans 3:23; Matthew 28:18; 1 Peter 1:15-16; Matthew 6:33, 17:21; 1 Samuel 17:39,  19:8; 2 Timothy 2:15; Hebrews 11:6; John 1:3; Isaiah 40:31; 1 Peter 4:8;  Proverbs 10:12

We are walking in today:  How To.



1 Thessalonians 4:1-8  1) Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. 2) For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. 3) For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: 4) That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; 5) Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: 6) That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. 7) For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. 8) He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.  On Monday we walked in, I choose to be stuck, Tuesday, believing, speaking and acting. Then on today, how to.  God shows up this morning with this word, because we need to be taught how to walk in this race.   In reading the Bible and studying, it is necessary to see how things are connected.  For example--it is essential to recognize how obedience is connected to faith.  Read James 2:14-26.  Likewise we must understand how sin and consequences are connected--Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.  There is no mysterious process you have to learn to see these connections.  No formula you acquire through academic training.  You just read, study and think--using the mind of God, that He gave us.  Applying that mind to the word that He gave you.  The Bible reads if we don't study we won't get the point and not be in position to respond properly.  If we neglect to see how things are connected--the word context, relates to how words and phrases are connected.  Here is a connection that we ought to see.  A connection between the facts and obligations in His word.  God generally responds to our need for information by giving us facts--the truth of God.  Which is stated in a factual expression, in His word--God directs us to engagement and obligation.  It is essential for us to see how the facts and obligations are connected. we will never get serious about obligations until we learn and accept the facts!  The facts that God obligated us to respond as He directs!  This is in 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8.  Let's look into the passage for facts.  Fact #1--you receive from us, from how you ought to walk and please God.  Keep this in mind, that Paul is writing to the church in Thessalonia, they had received apostolic instructions in Acts 2:42 about how to walk and please God.  Today in bookstores and libraries, you will find a whole section of books that are about how to do various things.  There are sometimes referred to as 'how to' books.  They are considered practical, providing instructions on how to build things or learn behaviors.  The New Testament, is the book we have about how to respond to God.  Discover how to be disciples of Christ.  How to think, how to feel, how to speak, how to act and react.  Put this down as a fact revealed by God through the Apostle Paul, which he said, you receive from us, how you ought to walk and how to please God.  Fact #2--you know what commandments that He gave you through the Lord Jesus. This is perspective, but the purpose is to emphasize what God has revealed  through the Apostle.  The instructions we need--the commandments are given, ordered--given by authority.  What we ought to do.  What we should not do.  How we should behave to please God and honor Christ.  We have on the pages of the Bible, commandments given through the Lord Jesus.  He has the authority to issue the orders that God gave.  Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.  Our duty is to learn those commandments and to live by those orders.  Fact #3--God did not call us to uncleanliness but to holiness.  This is in verse 7, when you think about the gospel--think of God calling sinners.  When the gospel is faithfully proclaimed, God identifies our problem--which is sin.  When the gospel is faithfully proclaimed God tells us of His provision to forgive us, in Christ.  When the gospel is faithfully proclaimed, God tells us what we should do to respond, to obey the gospel. To come out of sin and into the water of baptism--into fellowship and His identity.  Now why would God call us out of sin and into fellowship with Him?  That we might be holy!  1 Peter 1:15-16 15) But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16) Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.  God calls us to respond to Christ that we might live to please Him.  To walk in His ways so when we accept God's call and after we are baptised, if I participated in any uncleanliness, God did not call us to live in that way!  God did not call us into anything, but holiness!  This is a fact. When people who have been baptised fall back into sin and thus participate in uncleanliness instead of holiness thy are not living as God called them to live.  When I participate in anything that is not in harmony with God's will--I am not responding to His call, His call is in holiness.  Fact #4--He who rejects that doesn't reject man, but God who has also given us the Holy Spirit.  Notice the pronoun in verse 8--includes everything from verses 1-7, that is concerning the teaching written by Paul in this passage.  He who rejects this is guilty of more than just rejecting the man who is teaching it, he is guilty of rejecting God Himself.  The same God who gave His Holy Spirit to the Apostles to write this.  This is an interesting grammatical construction here.  Look again at verse 8, he who rejects this--do you recall some other verse in the New Testament that has the same kind of construction?  As stated Jesus said in Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.  This is the same construction in 1 Thessalonians 4:8 but the behavior and result is negative.  He who rejects this teaching, he who does not accept these facts, has rejected God.  There are four facts given by Paul in 1 Thessalonians 4:8.  You receive  from us how you ought to walk and how to please God.  You know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus.  God did not call us into uncleanliness, but holiness.  He who rejects this--doesn't reject man but God.  Who has also given us the Holy Spirit.  We need to shift gears, you remember when you read and study the Bible, we observe how things are connected.  Facts are given and based on those facts from God, obligations enforced--notice how obligation is firmly set in the passage.  We urge and exhort--you should, you ought, you should have seen, you should know, no one should.  What do these words and phrases signal?  Obligation. What is obligation?  It is what should be done!  The constraint of consciousness--which we do, what we should do, we are obligated by the facts!
Now with all of that being said--we ought to know how to remain unstuck!  We are called to holiness!  God's will, we will do!  He told us to do this, not that other thing!  God comes to tell us today 'how to'.  We gotta read and study His word.  Fiveamprayer, you have got to know, that you know, that you know!  Study His word from Genesis to Revelation, praying for wisdom for what you have read.  You know that you have got to walk this thing out.  We have been prepared and are being prepared for all that He has for us!  He is giving us instructions--now is the time to pay special attention of what we are to do.  Fiveamprayer this is your part!  You wanted to do something, now God shows up with what you are to do--setting down your ways and thoughts and only, walking and moving in obedience to what He instructs!  No more can we say that we don't know, but we are gonna try something.  God is telling us what to do and where to find the answers!  This is a open book test--but you will never pass the test if your book is sitting there closed, just collecting dust!   In this technological age we must never forget to have our face in His book!  That is where we must spend some face time before His written word that we grow and receive instruction!  Seek Him! 
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.  We must know how not to fall, how to walk by faith, how to only think His thoughts, how to cast down imaginations.  Ask the Holy Spirit to lead you to all righteousness.   We gotta know how to.  That God is calling us to another level.  He is teaching us how to stand.  The battle is not ours it is the Lords!  The race is not given to the swift but to he that endures until the end.  We have to learn how to fight the devil!  We must be suited up in the whole armor of God!  We must learn how to tell the devil to get behind us!  We are to pray and not faint!  We must call ourselves into a fast--Matthew 17:21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.  How to let the world know that we are Christians--John 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.  We are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds, how to renew our minds--in His word!  That is how we get a new mindset, reading His word prayerfully, to allow the awesome power transform us!  Sometimes we have to stay in the Spirit of the Lord, listening to gospel all day and keeping yourself humble and before Him.  We have gotta know how to!  How to stand in the evil day, these are the last days, the days of the book of Revelation.  We need to know what is coming.  We need to be seeking to have a closer relationship with Him!  We have been given so many tools that we don't know how to use.  It is high time we learned!  Take a look at David, a man after God's own heart, a mighty man of battle,yet in his youth he was not skilled in using sword or armor--1 Samuel 17:39 And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.  But how could he ever have the victories that God gave him if he had not prepared and learned to use the weapons and tools for battle?!   There was a time when his skills increased that he no longer only had a slingshot and staff as his only weapons.  1 Samuel 19:8 And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled from him.  This scripture would not be true is there was not some time for David to learn about weapons and have time to practice and gain skill with them.  We are to study and gain the necessary knowledge and skills needed for what God has purposed in our lives.   2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.  The workman is not ashamed due to knowing there is skill utilized that was gained under apprenticeship, study and practice.  God is giving us everything we need to be prepared and ready.  To be able to walk this out by faith, not by sight.  Will you submit to His will, His way?  Will you yield and be quiet?  Do you know how to do it?  Are you seeking how in His word?  A praying wife can save her husband.  Husbands are called to love their wives as Christ loves the church, giving His very life for it.  Are you loving your wife as Christ loves the church?  Do you know how to do that?  Are you seeking God for the answer to that question?  We must fall on our face before Him, seeking Him.  Some times we have got to go into our prayer closet and shut the door and pray.  Do you know how to pray?  God is calling us to pray.  We will need to know how to fight this devil.   We must be suited up in the whole armor of God.  The enemy is roaming the earth like a roaring lion, seeking who he may devour.  Do you know how to fight him?  Tell him, that no weapon formed against us shall prosper!  When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Lord will lift up a standard against him!  How to.  It is gonna take your faith!  That is how we please Him!  Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.  We are instructed to lean not to our own understanding, since we are in desperate need of teaching, our understanding isn't much.  That should not be a hard thing to set down!  Look to He who made all things--John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.  Trust Him--at all times!  There is the power of life and death in your words.  Do you know that God has given us authority and power?  Speak His word, that is what He responds to.  When you pray you can bind and loose things.  You can decree and declare some things.  Are you sealing your prayers in the blood of Jesus?  Asking that Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven?  We must pray over our marriages, our children, our church, ourselves!  We need to know how.  We have walked in how to stay unstuck--trusting God!  Leaning only to His understanding not our own.  Get into your word, and a true relationship with the Father!  He will speak to you and talk to you.  Seek Him daily!   We lift up fiveamprayer to find out how to be still, that is is already done--wait on the Lord!  Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.  We walk by faith and not by sight!  We lift up prayer requests, have them to learn how to stand and keep seeking You, no matter how it looks.  The focus remains on Him!  That He is willing and able to heal, deliver, cover, keep and protect us!  That we can place our cares on Him for He cares for us!  We no longer have to carry them around in worry, it is finished, it is done!  Trust and believe that the Father had got it all taken care of!   Fiveamprayer, keep seeking Him!  We must learn to cast down every imagination that would attempt to exalt itself against the knowledge of God!  We come to ask for forgiveness, we come to repent.  Teach us Lord, how to forgive, so that we can be forgiven.  Teach us how to let it go.  If we don't forgive the devil does not have to obey our rebuke--because we are walking in unforgiveness.  Set that thing down.  Why would you walk around disarmed, by walking in unforgiveness?!  Free yourself and let them go--forgive them!  Thank You Lord for casting our sins into the sea that the are remembered no more.  That You would forgive us with no condemnation, thank You God!  That You would cast our sins away as far as the east is from the west.  Thank You God for teaching us to say and stand on nevertheless, Thy will be done!

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:  
How to!

Welcome to the overflow...

We must love, fiveamprayer!  1 Peter 4:8  And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.  Lord teach us how to love each other--to love like You Lord.  Jesus said I do what I see My Father do, let us do the same!  Thank You God!  The world will know us by our love!  Love covers!  Hallelujah!  Proverbs 10:12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.  Thank You Lord, You have taught us that we can make sure to never be stuck again!  You have given us the tools.  To God be the glory!  No longer stuck!  Trust, forgive, seek Him more and more--a personal relationship, we have the how to's from God!  That is how we can stand.  Thank You Lord!  Use your tools and seek Him in His word today!  Seek Him like never before!  Visit us on facebook, it will encourage you!  Have a blessed day!

If MY People Who Are Called By MY Name..


2 Chronicles 7:14

Believing, Speaking and Acting.


Mark 5:22-42; Hebrews 11:6; Matthew 8:5-13; Numbers 23:19; Proverbs 24:19; 2 Chronicles 7:14; Philippians 4:6

We are walking in today:  Believing, Speaking and Acting.


 Are you ready to take a faith building journey through the word of God?  Get an in depth look at three people who's lives were transformed by Jesus' healing ministry and discover how believing, releasing their faith--trusting His word will bring you the same results!  One of the best ways to increase our capacity to receive from God is to study the accounts of the Bible which gives us people who were good receivers--I want to focus on three of my favorite:  the woman with the issue of blood, Jairus the synagogue ruler and the Roman centurion.  We find the first 2 are found in Mark 5.  These two accounts are intertwined in this section of scripture.  They are best told together.  Mark 5:22-34 22) And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet, 23) And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live. 24) And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him. 25) And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, 26) And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, 27) When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. 28) For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. 29) And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. 30) And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? 31) And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 32) And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. 33) But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. 34) And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.  Let's look at the woman with the issue of blood first--she was facing some very bad circumstances.  She was not only sick, she was sick and broke, (and God will heal what is broken!)  She could have easily stayed home and felt sorry for herself.  She could have sat up in her bed crying and thinking if God is good, why had He let this happen to me?!  But something happened to her, that made her decide not to do that.  She heard and welcomed into her heart the word of Jesus.  She had no doubt about what she had heard. That He is a healer to the people and she believed it!  What more did she do?  She acted on that word!  The first action that she took was to open her mouth and say what she believed.  Notice that she did not say what she felt or how terrible her life had been--she spoke words of faith!!  Mark 5:28 (AMP) For she kept saying, If I only touch His garments, I shall be restored to health.  She did not just say that once, either, she kept on saying it!  Then she took the next step of faith!  You can't stay there and be stuck.  You have gotta move!  She left her home, in spite of the fact that doing so was against the Jewish law for her to be in a public place in her condition.  She fought and pushed her way through, the crowd that was surrounding Him.  She reached out and touched the hem of His garment--sure enough, exactly what she said happened!  She was instantly healed.  There were other people who were touching Jesus also, but their's was not a touch of faith.  So they did not receive anything from Him.  She is the one who is believing, speaking and acting on His word that she heard about Him.  So she is the one who received--according to Jesus, by her faith, her believing that made her whole!  Mark 5:34 (AMP) And He said to her, Daughter, your faith (your trust and confidence in Me, springing from faith in God) has restored you to health. Go in (into) peace and be continually healed and freed from your [distressing bodily] disease.  Look at how Jairus, the synagogue ruler sees what he immediately needed.  We can immediately see striking similarities between his behavior and that of the woman with the issue of blood.  He too had obviously heard the reports of Jesus' love and power--and had believed them.  We also find him speaking in faith, while telling Jesus about his sick daughter:  Mark 5:23 (AMP) And begged Him earnestly, saying, My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, so that she may be healed and live.   Fiveamprayer, pay attention to those last three words.  They are not a request, they are a declaration of faith!  She will live!  Watch Jesus' response:  Mark 5:24 (AMP) And Jesus went with him; and a great crowd kept following Him and pressed Him [from all sides [so as almost to suffocate Him].   His response shows us clearly how God responds to those that reach out to Him in faith!  Those who are trusting His goodness and power!  Jesus did not say who do you think you are, telling Me what to do?  Maybe I don't want to come to your house.  Who are you to ask me to lay hands on someone for healing?  Maybe I want to do it some other way.  No, Jesus did not say any of those things.  On the contrary He immediately turned and went to Jairus' house, intending to do exactly what he asked.  He was easily entreated--Jesus is easy to receive from.  The Bible doesn't specifically say so, but I believe that Jairus exercised great patience to receive his miracle.  He had already told Jesus that his daughter was at the point of death.  Time was of the essence, but in spite of the critical nature of the situation, Jesus allowed an interruption.  He stopped and spoke to the woman who had been healed of the issue of blood.  Listened to her, and heard the story of her illness and confirmed that her faith has made her whole.  I can just imagine how Jairus could have felt.  Surely he was thinking, hurry up Jesus!  Can't you just talk to this woman, later?  To make matters worse, much worse, by the time the incident is over, Jairus receives very bad news.  Mark 5:35-36, 38-41 (AMP) 35) While He was still speaking, there came some from the ruler’s house, who said [to Jairus], Your daughter has died. Why bother and distress the Teacher any further? 36) Overhearing but ignoring what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, Do not be seized with alarm and struck with fear; only keep on believing. 38) When they arrived at the house of the ruler of the synagogue, He looked [carefully and with understanding] at [the] tumult and the people weeping and wailing loudly. 39) And when He had gone in, He said to them, Why do you make an uproar and weep? The little girl is not dead but is sleeping. 40) And they laughed and jeered at Him. But He put them all out, and, taking the child’s father and mother and those who were with Him, He went in where the little girl was lying. 41) Gripping her [firmly] by the hand, He said to her, Talitha cumi—which translated is, Little girl, I say to you, arise [from the sleep of death]!  I think that it is very interesting that when Jesus received the news of Jairus' daughter's death, He says immediately to him, be not afraid, only believe!  Why was Jesus so quick and definite about that?  He knew Jairus' whole hearted faith and his faith filled words had put him in a position to receive his daughter's healing.  He did not allow Jairus' faith to move out of position by letting fear into his heart.  Jesus did not want Jairus to have diminished capacity to receive, by speaking words of doubt and fear.  Thankfully Jairus did exactly what Jesus said.  He went to his house and took the girl by the hand and told her to arise.  She came back to life, healed just like Jairus said she would.  Some people seem to have the idea that faith offends God or maybe that God doesn't want to be bothered.  Religious people especially seem to get upset.  The idea that anyone would be bold enough to expect that God would do exactly what they asked, Him to do.  But the fact is, faith doesn't offend God, it pleases Him!  Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.  God isn't bothered by the boldness of the one who comes to Him in faith.  Because that boldness isn't inspired in the boldness of the person, themselves.  It is inspired by his confidence in God and His goodness, love and power!  One of the best examples of such confidence is found in Matthew chapter 8, the account of the centurion.  Matthew 8:5-13 5) And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, 6) And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. 7) And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. 8) The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. 9) For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 10) When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 11) And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. 12) But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 13) And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.  Isn't that amazing?!  Not only did Jesus do what this man requested of Him to do, He changed His plans in accordance with the man's next request.  Jesus intended to go by the house and heal the servant, but the centurion said in essence, I'd rather you not come to my house, because I am not worthy.  Just speak the word and the servant will be healed!
I don't know about you this morning--God is telling us to believe, speak and act and we shall receive.  We are to walk by faith not by sight.  We are no longer stuck, we are believing, speaking and acting on His word.  We are doers of the word, not hearers only.  Press your way through to touch the hem of His garment.  Ask Him to send the word. The word that does not come back void, that accomplishes all that it is sent to do!  Hold on and get unstuck!  Believe, speak and act on the word of God!  We are to speak to those mountains--believing, trusting and acting in faith like never before!  He stands at the door knocking, fiveamprayer.  Will you answer?  Will you get in motion, activating your faith?  God is calling us to believe, speak and act.  Now is not the time to give up nor turn around!  Speak His word!  Get unstuck and stay unstuck!  No weapon formed against us shall prosper!  Keep walking in His word, from Genesis to Revelations.  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?  If He said it, He shall do it!  Walk by faith and not by sight!  The Lord is our Shepherd, we shall not want!  Tell yourself this morning that you will lay aside every weight that would so easily beset us!  We can cast our cares on Him for He cares for us!  He brought us this far!  Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?  No matter what the world is going through, believe His word and apply it to your life!  Believe, speak and act on it!  I don't care what is coming against you--be not afraid!  We shall reap the harvest if we faint not!  Believe, speak and act, it is time for us to move into position to be blessed.  Come out from among them!  Speak, believe, act on His word!  It doesn't change and neither does He!  Proverbs 24:19 Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked.  Tell yourself this morning, this is the year that we will see!  It is revelation time!  God is more than able.  Get up!  He will never leave us nor forsake us!  His goodness endures to all generations!  Thank You Lord!  We are blessed and highly favored!  Believe, speak and act.  The fervent and effectual prayers of the righteous avail much!  He is a deliverer!  What does His word say?  Believe, speak, act.  Be not stuck any more!   What did God say?  Well do you believe Him?  Are you speaking His words?  Are you in motion on what He said?  You have got to believe Him and speak His word.  Get in position, fiveamprayer!  Time to get into action on what He has already told you.  When the money runs out, favor keeps on spending!  He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.  Believe, speak and act on His word.  Be like David, hide His words in your heart that you may not sin against Him.  Put on the whole armor of God that you will be able to stand!  Believe that He hears our every prayer, that is according to His word!  Speak and act on His word.  Don't just sit there and not speak and act on it!  Without faith it is impossible to please Him!  Say it over and over again, like the woman with the issue of blood--I believe You, Lord!  I trust You!  I am not leaning to my own understanding!  I believe there is healing in the land!  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.  Do you believe it, fiveamprayer?!  It is time to pray without ceasing!  Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.  Believe it, speak it and act on it!  That is how we stay unstuck.  We are getting free this week! Thank You God!  Cast down every imagination that would attempt to exalt itself against the knowledge of God.  He said to be of good cheer, He has over come the world.  There will be tribulations in the world, He has made us overcomers and conquers!  On Christ the solid rock we stand!  What did God say?!  Hold to the word!  Walk in the word!  Get in motion on the word!  We are stuck no more!  A praying wife can save her husband.  God is a God of reconciliation, He will heal your marriage!  God supplies all of our needs!  He rewards diligent seekers!  Suit up in the word, to stand!  No longer choose to be stuck!  Reach out to Him, there is enough healing in His garment.  We shall know the truth and the truth shall make us free!  We are created in His likeness and image!  The devil is under our feet!  He has given us dominion.  The devil is still a liar.  The enemies time is up!  The devil wants us to be silent and still.  We are to speak God's word and get in motion!  If He did it for the woman with the issue of blood, Jairus and the centurion--He will certainly do it for us!  He is the same today, yesterday and forever more!   He told Jesus to speak the word only!  Send the word God!  Because we believe it!  It is how all things were made!  Believe it, speak it and act on it!  You said God that we shall reap the harvest if we faint not.  He is more than a conquer, more than a overcomer!  We believe what You said God!  All that You have said about us, that we are fearfully and wonderfully made!  That His grace is sufficient!  We choose to be unstuck!  We lift up fiveamprayer, the fervent effectual prayers of the righteous avail much!  Thank You Lord for lining us up with the word!  Thank You for making us free!  We lift up prayer requests--have them all to believe, speak and act!  Those that need healing, that by Your stripes we were healed!  We repent and turn from our wicked ways!  We believe, speak and act on Your word!  Thank You Lord for forgiving us with no condemnation!  That you would casts our sins into the sea.  Believe, speak and act!  Don't just sit there in your sins!  God forgives us with no condemnation!  Get up today and believe, speak and act!

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:  
We believe it, speak it, and act on it!

You Choose To Be Stuck.


Deuteronomy 30:11-20; Philippians 1:22; Isaiah 56:4, 7:15; Proverbs 3:31; Psalms 25:12; Romans 12:2; Philippians 4:13; James 1:22; Luke 6:46-47; James 2:14; 2 Corinthians 2:10; Psalms 23:4; Hebrews 11:6; Genesis 12:1; Romans 10:8; Proverbs 14:12; Mark 11:24; Romans 4:17; Job 8:7; Romans 8:31

We are walking in today:  You Choose To Be Stuck.



Deuteronomy 30:11-20 11) For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. 12) It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? 13) Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? 14) But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. 15) See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; 16) In that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. 17)  But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; 18) I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it. 19) I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live. 20) That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.  Choose today, fiveamprayer--the way of the Lord!  God has set before us in the last days, blessings and curses.  Stuck in relationships that have been over.  Stuck in marriages, not ordained by God.  Stuck in churches that are not growing you spiritually.  Stuck in unforgiveness and will not move on.  Stuck in jobs that God has released you from.  There are areas in your life that you know are dead, but you choose to be stuck.  Some of you are sitting there waiting for the other person to make decisions about, what God has already told you--move on.  Stuck.  Stuck.  Stuck.  You choose to be stuck.  What are some of the things that keep us stuck?  Fear, the refusal to make a decision, waiting on someone else, disobedience and our flesh.  Philippians 1:22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.  We must choose things that please God.  Isaiah 56:4 For thus saith the Lord unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant.  Isaiah 7:15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.  Proverbs 3:31 Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.  Psalms 25:12 What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.  Choose not to be stuck!  No matter how much it hurts.  Let us get unstuck today!  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.  Philippians 4:13 (AMP)  I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency].  God will help you get unstuck!  If you hear His word, and do what He says.  We must apply the word of God to our lives!  James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.  If you can't be real with any one else--be real with yourself.  It is time to get up and move on!  Luke 6:46-47 46) And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? 47) Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like.  James 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?  Faith without works is dead.  Take the next step--God has already gone before you!  2 Corinthians 2:10 To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ.  Do it today!  Get unstuck!
Thank You Lord for the reading of Your word!  Thank You for letting us know we choose to be stuck.  Stuck in places where God has sent the release.  Stuck because you choose to be disobedient.  Take the next step, walk in faith.  We are to walk by faith and not by sight!  Psalms 23:4
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.  I choose not to be stuck and move on!  God has already made a way of escape for us, but we have to take the exit that He gives us!  What is your part, fiveamprayer?!  God has been giving us the answers to the tests so that we can succeed.  If we choose to answer anything else but God, we have just left the answer blank!  There is no other way.  He set before us two choices with the instruction to choose good, blessings--God!  Who is the blame when you do not choose the good you have been instructed to choose?  God sends His word, in many fashions and if we remain stubborn and do not move, that is choosing to be stuck!  Why continue to sit there tied to people who are not going any where when God has already told you to move on, that this is not for you?  You can't make things fit, nor wear God down with your disobedience.  The Father cares too much for us, to allow us to take on more than we can bear!  Thank You Lord, You always know best, whether we can see that we were wrong or not--have faith and trust and believe that He is never wrong!  It is time to get in motion!  Faith is an action word!  Pray to God, and He answers and we continue to keep sitting there?!  Get up and get in motion on what God has already told you what to do.  It is time to move on!  We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us!  Get unstuck.  We are more than conquers more than overcomers!  Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.  I choose not to be stuck!  How are you gonna set there and not walk in the decision that has already been made?!  Not making any movement towards the decision that has already been set out.  We are sitting in one place while our blessing has shown up somewhere else.  God is telling you, the blessing is not here, it is over there.  But will you move?  Get out of being stuck and claim what God has set aside for you.  Look at Abram--Genesis 12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee.  Abram had a choice to make to get up and leave his family and go to the place that God would show him.  The blessing was not there for him, he had to get into motion and move and down the road he had to leave his nephew Lot who left with him initially.  Get unstuck! 
God shows up when Abram and Lot part ways to continue the conversation regarding Abram's blessing (Genesis 13:8-16).  Choose not to be stuck.  It is not hidden from us!  For those of us that have prayed on that thing and have gotten an answer--get in motion!  Do not continue to sit there in disobedience, choosing to be stuck.  Who shall go up to heaven for us?  Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach.  God is telling us, it is right here, right now!  Many of us will miss it, because we choose to be stuck.  God comes  to set us free from relationships and ministries.  Move on, even if you are in tears. We have gotta choose God first!  His way is not our way!  Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.  Thank You Lord, for showing us the error of our ways.  It is time to get up and sit no longer stagnant-not advancing or developing in that church and not growing spiritually.  There is work to do, the harvest is plenty but the labors are few.  Many are called, but few are chosen.  It is time to operate in what God has deposited on the inside of you, operate in your gifts.  Your gifts will make room for you.  Those that diligently seek Him are rewarded!  Time to move on, God is calling us up higher!  Choose this day who you will, serve--God and His eternal treasure or the world and it's temporary trinkets?  The steps of the righteous are ordered by the Lord!  Greater is He that lives on the inside of me, than he that is within this world!  I choose to be unstuck!  I don't care what I see, I will walk this out by faith and not by sight.  God has never called us to walk by what we see in the natural, He calls us to walk by what we requested from Him--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.  He calls for us to walk in what we are to see manifested--Romans 4:17  (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.  Everyone can't go where you are going.  Be careful who you attach yourself to.  You may have to cut them off to go up higher.  If it is not of God--choose to get unstuck!  How can you say Lord, Lord and do not what He says to do!?  You keep praying and getting the same answer, but remain there--seated and unmoving.  These are the latter days, the days that shall be increased--Job 8:7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.  But many of us have chosen to be and remain stuck.  We know for ourselves that we are stuck in some stuff.  Let he who has ears to hear, let him hear!  Get unstuck!  Let him go!  Let her go!  Whatever is pressing on you.  Fiveamprayer, you are gonna have to loose somethings.  Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning!  When you get into motion, no longer stuck there will be a lifting of weight off of you!  You don't need to be in that thing!  Thank You God for sending Your word!  Hallelujah God!  We come lifting up prayer requests those known and those that are unknown.  Fiveamprayer, there is someone stuck in a relationship, a marriage that is not ordained by God, in churches where they are not growing, are connected to people, some are stuck in there minds, stuck in sins because they won't repent, stuck and stagnate--get a release from that thing today!  We lift them all up to You Lord, that they be unstuck!  Let them be transformed by the renewing of their minds!  That they can do all things through Christ which strengthens them!  That they choose to be unstuck!  No longer fearful or afraid to choose the way that You have already told us to choose.  This is not the time for church as usual--you won't get delivered nor set free. We must repent for not moving--some things won't look how we think they should look, but His ways are not our ways, nor His thoughts like our thoughts.  No more refusing to move!  Choose this day who ye shall serve.  Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:  
We Choose To Be Unstuck!

Welcome to the overflow...

Nevertheless, Thy will be done!  Not our will.  You told us to take Your yolk and to learn of You, that Your burden is easy and light.  He knows how much we can bear.  Someone is stuck in a relationship and they don't know if they can walk away.  Get unstuck to go up higher in God.  Somethings you are in is because you choose to be stuck--not anymore!  He is strengthening us!  We are overcomers and conquers.  Thank You God!  Thank You Holy Spirit!  You showed up today to make somebody free!  We shall know the truth and the truth shall make us free!   We don't have to keep sitting there, being stuck, blaming others.  No more standing still we are to see,You--You said this is the year we will see Your glory.  Keep walking, don't stop.  Hallelujah!  Walk in this word all day today!  Hallelujah!  Praise His holy name!  We are moving on and pressing forward!  Visit us on facebook, it will encourage you.  Take some time out to read these scriptures for yourself today.  Thank You God!

We are walking in today:  The Power Of Prayer, Stand On One Accord.

Acts 1:14-17 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, 16) Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus. 17) For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry. 
God told us yesterday that we must stand on His word, and His will be done!  There is no other option!  There are many of us that can testify that all the other ways and options do not work!  So now that we have completed our session in the school of hard knocks, let us take up His yolk and learn of Him--His way is easy and His burden is light.  That is what so many of us need right now, a easy and light burden.  But will you submit and walk in humility and obedience to His word?!  In answering the Lord, that His will be done, then we are to put off our ways and all that we know and pick up His way and the wisdom that He gives us!  Thank You Lord for showing up in such a mighty and awesome way these past couple of weeks.  We must stand together on one accord!  As Pastor Taffe taught on Wednesday night, in the book of Acts chapters 3 and 4, the power of prayer is displayed in a group that is on one accord and seeking after the things that are of God's will.  That is why God is calling us into prayer, prayer that is on one accord!  James 5:16 (AMP) Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].  That us how we can tap into that wonder working power--that we can push those mountains out of the way!  Think about it, if we all push by ourselves we can only move a small amount.  We may also be pushing in different directions.  But what would happen if we all got together, focused and pushed in the same direction at same time?  How much more power would be available?!  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.  What mighty and awesome things could God show up in, due to our obedience and agreement?  Thank You Lord for showing us the importance of being on one accord and seeking Your face!  Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven!  Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.  Acts 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart.  Acts 4:24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is.  Philippians 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.  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.  Thank you Lord for showing us the importance of being on one accord and seeking Your face, Your will done in the earth as it is in heaven!!  Thank You Lord!
So the power of prayer is that fiveamprayer stands on one accord.  Because we know in unity there is commanded blessings!  Let's get our prayer together and push this thing by one accord.  Standing together on God's word, knowing that if My people who are called by My name would humble themselves and pray....Fiveamprayer we are to pray without ceasing, to pray and not faint.  To stand on one accord with like minds and singleness of our hearts.  Not our will be done, but Thy will be done!  Pray for America, pray for renewed minds--that we stand on one accord.  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.  We come together, standing on one accord.  God is pouring out a blessing on us that there will not be room enough to receive!  We are standing because this is the year that we will see.  One can chase 1,000 and two can chase 10,000.  He shows up with 2 or 3 are gathered in His name!  God is causing a shift in our prayers.  He is more than able!  We must be like Joshua, as for me and my house we shall serve the Lord!  We will fall on our faces and pray.  Doing what thus says the Lord!  His will be done!  We are standing on one accord, looking for Your glory!  Even when we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we fear no evil for You are with us!  His grace is sufficient!  He is the God or reconciliation, He is restoring marriages!  We need God like never before!  We need to see His face!  We know that it is by Your Spirit, not power or might!  There will come a time that the Spirit of the Lord will fall on all flesh.  We need Your Spirit, Lord!  A pouring out of fresh oil and anointing on us!  We need to come together like never before--the world is going crazy!  We need Your word!  They that seek shall find!  We need You Lord like never before!   Call for men to take there rightful place--being the head and not the tail, above only, never beneath!  Let us get a back to Eden mindset!  Walking in our God given dominion and authority!  The power that God has given us to trample all over serpents.  We need to see Your face God!  We are standing  on one accord!  We are to speak to the mountains, believing to see them move!  We shall knock and the door will be opened.  You told us on yesterday, that Thy will be done!  That we are to be anxious for nothing!  That we must fall on our faces, seeking Your face!  That we have been given a mind to seek after You, doing the things that please You.  We are standing on one accord, to worship and see Your face.  Lord we ask You to have our thoughts to line up with Your thoughts!  Isaiah 55:8-9 8) For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 9) For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.  We are standing on one accord, a house divided can not stand!  We must continue in prayer, standing on one accord.  We must humble ourselves, seek His face and pray, turning from our wicked ways!  Then He will hear from heaven, forgive our sins and heal our land!  This is revelation time!  We are praying for the healing of the land.  We are standing on one accord, telling the devil, that no weapon that is formed against us, shall prosper!  Fiveamprayer, is standing on one accord.  You called us into a prayer circle, that has no ending nor beginning.  We are on one accord, interlinked together on this phone line, from state to state across this nation.  We get up early seeking His face, standing on one accord.  This takes all of us together, praying for the same thing!  We have to set aside everything that would cause division.  God is not the author of confusion.  Get this together!  We have to walk this out together!  There is no big i's or little u's.  We gotta push together!  We have gotta stand on one accord!  Standing on His word!  Thy will be done!  We are dropping our mindset, taking on the mind of Christ!   That is how we can stand on one accord.  Looking to help others to cross over this Jordan.  You always sent them out  2 by 2.  We are standing on one accord!  Thank You God!  One accord!  Think about it, on Pentecost they were all together on one accord.  God's glory fell in that place!  No more pulling in different directions.  United we stand, divided we fall.  Stop looking at people and judging them!  Teach them the right way.  Don't leave them behind.  All of that wisdom and you are not sharing it with any body!  Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.  We have to stop judging others, teach them the right way. We must stand together on one accord!  Stop the cliques and division in the church!  On our own, people do not want to stand on one accord.  That is what we are fighting against--stand together!  Especially us sisters, we often walk around separated, we must stand on one accord!  Let he who has ears to hear, let him hear!  Thank You Lord!  We waste too much time fighting against each other!  How about we fight to stand together!  That we won't just drop away when offenses come up.  Stand and continue to stand on one accord!  With us all standing together on one accord, we know that there are commanded blessings in unity!  We are on one accord!  It is God who builds up the church, we are on one accord!  If husbands would love their wives as Christ loves the church, giving His very life for it.  And that wives would submit themselves to their husbands, that a praying wife can save her husband.  That those who are married would stand together on one accord, then the children would line up as well--there is no division in the house!    We have to get on one accord!  Some of us are concerned about titles: bishop, minister, reverend--there are some that are sitting right next to you that have so much power and anointing  on them but you don't want to push or encourage them to go up higher, not higher than you.  We are to help each other!  Stand on one accord!  Thank You God!  We are on one accord!  Ask what you need from Him!  He is answering right now!  He is showing us His glory, because we are standing on one accord!   He came to give us life and that more abundantly!  We are on one accord!  Keep seeking His face!  Keep seeking Him early and first!  God is moving!  Someone on this line needs healing, to be set free and delivered--we stand on one accord!  Show us Your glory, Lord!  We come asking on one accord!  Have Your way Holy Spirit!  We are seeking Your face!  Hallelujah!  Thank You Lord!  They that hunger and thirst for Him, shall be filled!  We are on one accord!  More of You and less of us!  It is done, it is finished!  Thank You God!  All we had to do was to get on one accord!  If My people, who are called by My name would humble themselves and pray!  Show us Your glory!  Heaven and earth shall pass away, but His word shall stand forever!    Fiveamprayer is resting in His everlasting arms!  Thank You Your presence on the line!  We are on one accord!  We lift up prayer requests: prayers for healing, deliverance, marriages, singleness, churches, repentance!  We are on one accord!  Forgive us, Lord for trying to do this alone, You sent them out 2 by 2!  Moses and Joshua, Mary and Elizabeth, Naomi and Ruth--thank You God!  We come to repent for thinking we could handle this by ourselves!  One can chase 1,000 and two 10,000!  We are on one accord!

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:  
Nevertheless, not our will, Thy will be done!
