(Through Intercession)
If our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.– 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 Since God doesn’t save anyone against their will, does it really do any good to pray for people who consciously refuse to receive Jesus as Lord? Yes! Yes! Yes it does! You see, in spite of the fact that most all unbelievers who have purposely refused to receive Jesus as Lord think they have made that decision of their own free will, the truth is, they haven’t. The Word of God says they have been blinded by Satan. He’s blocking their perception of the truth. So their decision hasn’t been freely made at all. Through the prayer of intercession, you can interfere with the satanic forces and help take the blinders off! You can also change circumstances with your prayers and help create situations that will bring them in contact with the Lord. You are well within your spiritual rights when you do. Jesus said in Matthew 12:29 to first bind the strong man and then enter his house and spoil his goods. So pray: “You spirit blinding the eyes of __________ (name), you stop what you are doing to keep him/her out of the kingdom of God. In Jesus’ Name, you stop NOW!” Jesus also said in Matthew 9:38, “Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he/she will send forth laborers into his harvest.” So pray, Lord send someone to __________ (name) with the Word of God. You know who he/she will listen to. I claim __________ (name) for the kingdom of God. I believe I receive his/her salvation and deliverance. In faith I praise You for it.” Believe it’s done when you pray. Don’t sit by and let the devil take you friends or loved ones without a fight. Pray! Pray! Pray! Come against the “god of this world.” Take off the blinders and open his/her eyes to the glorious gospel of God. Scripture Reading: 2 Corinthians 4:1-7

Enjoy this Prophetic, (Poetry From the Holy Spirit) Word that appeared in an article I recently read. I entitled it “A Prophetic WORD”,
A PROPHETIC WORD “When the seed is sown in the earth, before the sun can rise and set, the seed has demanded that your need be met. The heart will respond without regret, but the process has only begun, and it is not revealed yet; but have confidence and respect for the seed, for it has given its life for what you need. It will work night and day, giving substance to what you say. It will assemble the information piece-by-piece and know the exact time for its release. So set a watch on what you speak and how you pray, for a time of release comes every day. Take heed to the Words God has spoken and obey. For you see, the fruit is being fashioned each day. The process continues until the harvest is perfected in this very way. For day-after-day the seed demands, and the earth does obey. But be careful not to tamper with the seed, for if you do, you will come up with a weed. But if you will encourage it with the water of the Word, it will produce exactly the way you have heard.” 1. Genesis 8:22: “While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest shall not cease.”
Confession: “Therefore, I sow my seeds in faith, knowing that the law of seedtime and harvest is working on my behalf.” 2. Genesis 1:11: “And God said, Let the earth bring forth…after his kind…and it was so.” Confession: “Therefore, I have sown financial seeds, and I’m expecting them to produce after their own kind in the form of financial blessings.” 3. Mark 4:26-27: “So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground…and the seed should spring and grow up.” Confession: “Therefore, I’m expecting every seed that I have sown to grow up, to spring up, and to produce an abundant harvest.” 4. Job 36:11: “If they obey and serve him, they will spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.” Confession: “Therefore, because I have been obedient to God, I have sown my seeds. I fully expect my days to be filled with prosperity and my years with pleasures.” 5. Psalm 115:12, 14: “The Lord hath been mindful of us: he will bless us…. The Lord shall increase you more and more.” Confession: “Therefore, because God has seen my sowing, His mind is continually on me. I’m expecting more and more financial blessings, and more and more financial increase to come into my life.” 6. 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.” Confession: “Therefore, because I have given, I’m expecting good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running-over harvest from every seed that I’ve sown.” 7. 2 Corinthians 9:6: “He which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.” Confession: “Therefore, I’m entitled to and I’m expecting a bountiful harvest because I am a bountiful sower.” 8. 2 Corinthians 9:8: “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” Confession: “Therefore, I’m expecting to have all sufficiency, more than enough, abounding in financial blessings, so that I am able to sow into every good work which the Holy Spirit impresses me to be a blessing to.” 9. 2 Chronicles 20:20: “Believe in the Lord your God, and so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.” Confession: “Therefore, since I do believe in the Lord my God, and I believe what His prophet has spoken regarding (2020 being the year of SUPERNATURAL INCREASE, A NEW DOOR HAS BEEN OPENED) then I’m expecting to be established and prosper each day throughout this year and beyond. It shall come to pass in my life in Jesus’ Name. So be it.” As you water your seed with the Word of God and speak these faith-filled confessions, believe to receive an abundant harvest in 2020! Don’t be discouraged if it doesn’t happen right away—let patience have her perfect work. You will reap an abundant harvest if you don’t give up! The Trinity refers to the fact that God is revealed in three persons, and yet He is one God. Each person (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) is wholly God—not just a part of God. And together, they are God in oneness. Matthew 28:19 says, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”
Each Person of the Trinity has individual characteristics, responsibilities and operation. Yet none ever acts independently or in opposition to the others. There is always total unity and harmony. “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word (the Son), and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” (1 John 5:7). Interestingly enough, the word Trinity itself is not found in the Bible. But the concept of the Trinity can be found from the beginning in the book of Genesis. In the account of Creation, God said, “Let us make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness...” (Genesis 1:26). Another characteristic of the Trinity is order. It is not an order of importance, but an order of operation. All plans come from the Father, through the Son, by the Holy Spirit. The Father initiates, the Son proclaims (He is the Word in John 1), and the Holy Spirit executes. Each activity is vital but incomplete without the others. An example of the Trinity working together in harmony is found in Matthew 3:16-17: “After his baptism, as Jesus came up out of the water, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and settling on him. And a voice from heaven said, 'This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy.'” Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. – 3 John 2
Once you begin to believe it is God’s will to prosper you, you can’t help but wonder how He is going to do it. Is He going to put a check in the mail? Or start floating $20 bills down from the trees? No. He’s going to do it by prospering your soul. He’s going to plant the seeds of prosperity in your mind, will and emotions, and as they grow, they’ll produce a great financial harvest. Go to the book of Genesis and read the story of Joseph. It’s a perfect demonstration of what I’m talking about. When Joseph was sold as a slave to the Egyptians, he didn’t have a dime to his name. He didn’t even have his freedom. He’d been sold as a slave. But, right in the middle of his slavery, God gave Joseph such wisdom and ability that he made his owner prosper. As a result, the man put Joseph in charge of all his possessions. Later, Joseph was put in prison. There’s really not much opportunity for advancement in prison, is there? But God gave him insight that no other man in Egypt had. That insight landed him a position on Pharaoh’s staff. Not as a slave but as the most honored man in the entire country next to Pharaoh himself. He rode along in a chariot and people literally bowed down before him. During a worldwide famine, Joseph was in charge of all the food. Now that’s prosperity! How did God accomplish all that? By prospering Joseph’s soul. No matter how dismal his situation became, no matter how impossible his problems, God was able to reveal the spiritual secrets that would open the door of success for him. That’s what makes God’s method of prospering so exciting. It works anywhere and everywhere. It will work in the poorest countries on the face of this earth just like it works here in the United States. And you can be sure that it will work for you! Scripture Reading: Genesis 39 Father, in the Name of Jesus, I realize that as a believer my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. My acknowledgment of Your presence on a daily basis makes my faith in You effectual. I believe that You, heavenly Father, are leading and guiding me by the Holy Spirit through my spirit, and You are illuminating my mind.
As I yield to the Holy Spirit, I believe my steps are ordered of You, LORD. I commit and trust myself wholly to Your guidance, expecting You to cause my thoughts to become agreeable to Your will, so my plans will be established and succeed. I trust in You, LORD with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding. As I acknowledge You, You direct me in the paths of righteousness. I confess that as I become more God-inside minded, I can more easily recognize the inward witness of the Holy Spirit. I hear the voice of the Good Shepherd, and a stranger’s voice I will not follow. I am aware that my spirit is the candle of the LORD. I meditate in The WORD day and night, not letting it depart from my mouth, I test my inward witness with The WORD, for the Spirit and The WORD agree. I am quick to act on The WORD, as well as the prompting of my spirit. I am not a hearer only but also a doer of The WORD. Therefore I am blessed in all my deeds.

...I beseech thee, show me thy glory. Exodus 33:18 What would you say is the single, most outstanding thing about God? What's His most important characteristic? Some people would say it's His power. Others, His holiness. But God Himself would give a different answer. You can find that answer in Exodus 33. There Moses is asking God to show him His glory. Now the word glory could literally be translated "heavy weight." It refers to the heaviest, biggest, grandest thing about someone. It's the sum total of their worth. So what Moses was actually saying was, "Lord, I want to see the weightiest thing about You. I want to know Your grandest attributes." What did God say to him in response? Chapter 34:6-7 tells us, "The Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin." Just think about that! When Moses asked God to show him the most important thing about Himself, God showed him His mercy. That means if you and I are to imitate God (Ephesians 5:1) we must major in mercy too. Mercy, goodness, forgiveness and compassion must mark our behavior above all else. Major on mercy and others will see the glory of God in you. Scripture Reading: Exodus 33:7-23, 34:5-10 Walking in the Wisdom and Guidance of the Holy Spirit

Therefore I am blessed in all my deeds. #1 SEEDTIME AND HARVEST
I’m a sower. I understand the law of seed-time and harvest. Every seed I sow has unlimited potential! Through the sowing of my seed I determine my own destiny. No devil can stop me from prospering; no famine, no drought, no bad economy, no recession, can keep me from prospering. My seed produces harvest! Abundant harvest! More than enough harvest! In the Name of Jesus Christ. #2 THE BLESSING THE BLESSING of the Lord is on my life and it is there for good! I’m the seed of Abraham Galatians 3:6-9 Just as Abraham “believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.” So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham. I have a right to be blessed! I have a right to be blessed coming in; I have a right to be blessed going out; In the city; in the field. I’m the head; not the tail. I’m above only; I’m never beneath because the blessing’s on me! Everything I set my hands to do is blessed! The blessing on my life makes me rich, prosperous, successful, wealthy, and totally unlimited!!! In the Name of Jesus Christ, Hallelujah! RIGHTEOUSNESS IS CRITICAL HABITUALLY (RICH!)
Righteousness has everything to do with your prayer life. The nature of God is righteousness. The nature of Satan is iniquity. 1 John 5:17 All unrighteousness is sin… 2 Corinthians 5:17, 21 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. James 5:16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another…The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. 1 John 5:14-15 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. Isaiah 32:17 The work of righteousness will be peace, And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever. |
