Maturity Prayer Goals

Trying not to have problems, isn’t the goal. Using each attack and challenge as an opportunity to grow and become stronger should be the goal.

Trying not to have problems, isn’t the goal.

However, using each attack and challenge as an opportunity to grow and become stronger each time should be the goal.

So, don’t try to run, or will it away, because it won’t leave you be. You must master it, or it will master you.

As you battle in prayer and war, remember that this is a way God uses to exercise us to give us strength and to grow into maturity.

If we never had opposition, we would never learn by experience how to overcome. God wants us to become teachable so that in time we become teachers. God takes everything in our lives and turns it around for good.

You will have as much opposition possible in direct proportion to what your destiny demands. God will use you first, then family to conquer what is come to advance your authority with God.

It always is to teach us and to help others in the body. But He always begins in the home.

God is loading us daily with benefits and he will require much from you but take heart, The LORD is involved preparing you for your destiny.

As you take each step directed, first with daily repentance and prayer, your family is your responsibility lies first, then your extended family.

In any war, there must be a base that is strong, and if too much happens away from that base that draws you away from there, the enemy will continue to draw you away so to keep turmoil in your own home.

Your answer is in finding the secret place daily and like dressing, get up and dress you, your family, and home, protecting it and speaking the word over it.

This is how we must live these days because they are so evil and the enemy wants inside, because if he can smite you and your family, the rest will be scattered.

God’s got to get us right and together before we can handle helping anyone else. If you dive in after a drowning victim and you don’t know how to save the person, you both go down.

On an airplane, if the cabin pressure drops the one with the knowledge and strength is to put on your mask first before you can ever help someone else or you both die. We can’t help them until we can help himself.

To be standing in the gap in prayer for others is to intervene and take responsibility for their condition so that God will hear and favor us and intervene with our prayers for them. God cannot hear the prayer of sinners unless they repent. It is why we must learn to stand in the gap for others.

In the eyes of Satan, we are like walking time bombs because he knows intercession and warfare destroys the plans of darkness.

He can’t tell exactly what God will do through us but he watches us, distract us, and fight us so hard in the area of prayer and warfare.

Satan oppresses our minds to think in the natural but the devil knows you are very dangerous especially when you finally come to know who you are and what you have.

Yes, the greater one is in us and is far above anything the devil will try, and his goal is to keep you ignorant of his wiles.

He can sense and know from the things said what you are thinking, but when we start thinking the way God thinks and when we speak what God says, he is terrified and you will be fully released like a wrecking ball against the devil’s strongholds.

Be that wrecking ball in the spirit and take that dominion everywhere you go and listen and respond with the word and that love be supreme so that great damage will be done on your avenues daily.

Agree with God’s word that whatever ground has been given to you is holy ground and be the place where the mouth of the devil is bound from souls, deception, and all false doctrine be destroyed in Jesus’ Name!

We have amazing power when we learn to use it beloved!

Prophecy of the Black Mold of Sin

If WE don’t repent as The Church and as A Nation, layer by layer of rising tide shall overtake us and we shall see the collapse of a nation that forgot God.

While in prayer today I saw a well-advanced wall and its condition, meticulous.

I then in sequence, began to see over stages in time, layers of various paints applied. There were many layers and when the walls became dirty with black spots and grime that more paint was applied.

Instead of looking at what the black spots were, they were simply washed off and painted over again. It was revealed that each layer gave signs and symptoms of decay, much had been revealed but it was suddenly washed and covered up.

Finally, I saw what was behind all the layers of paint.

The appearance of the wall was rotten. All the supporting structure wood was rotten and covered with black mold.

I was shocked as the wall had looked so clean and meticulous. However, during times of the signs when revelations, would surface about the possibility of underlying issues, instead of wanting to uncover the source, the person would wash the wall and cover it with paint again.

It was during these times that I noticed there was the smell of sulfur.

At the beginning everything looked fine but over the space of time what appeared as solid and beautiful yielded to the weight of decay and the wall and it could no longer be supported.

When one looked at the wall over the years would have never known that the wall was unstable and rotten to the core.

What surprised me was that the paint itself gave support for it was covered with so many layers of paint that it gave it some temporary stability but, in the end, the wall collapsed merely by touching it.

Yes, it seemed strange that the outer layers were able to maintain a very meticulous appearance.

Interpretation

The wall represents the stages of time in a person, family, ministry, organization, cities, and nation that refuses to see the problem of unbridled sin that has been hidden represented by the black spotted mold and grime.

Although they could reflect perfection even advanced in years and in great condition outwardly, the stages of sin would peak out of hiding.

Then there would be a quick work in cleaning, covering up, and denying anything was wrong instead of repenting for their sin, and the soul of the nation.

Under the years of layers revealed, rotten supporting structure of all sorts rotten to the core and covered with the black mold with the stench of sulfur.

There was no lasting repentance, renewal, or revival, only resistance and to cover up the real issue of sin against God.

However, the weight of that sin that is carried can no longer be supported unless the sin is repented of and atoned for so that it will be wiped away. There can be no new beginning unless there is repentance and the slate is wiped clean.

There were many times when God would send signs, wonders, and revelations concerning underlying issues but those in rebellion simply said, “Peace man!” “Love one another!” “Free love man!” “Let’s keep God out of it because we are free!” “Hey my body is mine and I can do what I want with it — including killing my baby!”

Things have been pushed down, covered, and rejected too long. We are at the most serious window in time of our lives like none other.

There must be a great awakening in this nation to usher in the end time harvest. Will we witness the collapse as people, families, ministries, various organizations, cities and our nation?

If WE don’t repent as The Church and as A Nation, layer by layer of rising tide shall overtake us and we shall see the collapse of a nation that forgot God.

The nation that forgets God, God will forget. If we don’t learn from history we are going to repeat it.

We must repent and pray for the soul of this nation, for in all these levels it must begin with us then our families, our ministries, our organizations, cities, and our nation!

You have heard, “Don’t involve religion with politics?” What a lie! God has always been involved in nations, governing, and politics!

We must take back everything that has been stolen from us, and turn around and take responsibility and repent to God for our lives and nation!

The landscape will look very different next year depending on if we hear the warnings and obey. May God have mercy on our souls and the soul of this nation!

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace,” Isaiah 9:6 KJV.

Words of Wisdom

Don’t look to man for comfort and validation. Look to God, because your answer isn’t found when you regretfully rehash all the events in your life!

“Don’t look to man for comfort and validation.

Look to God, because your answer isn’t found when you regretfully rehash all the events in your life.

Nothing can change your history, but you do have hope for your future when you give your life totally over to God’s Validation!

Once surrendered, you will find such peace and goodness that only comes from the lover of your soul.”

* * * * * * *

“Becoming silent, is a weapon against the enemy!

Holding our tongue when there is a war waged against us is winning!

Though the winds of adversity come and you are troubled on every side… though tossed to and fro by every wind it seems like we will never come out of these foreboding winds and demonic clouds that bring deception and every rouge wind that appeals to the love of the flesh.

Silence is a test. When severe storms come remember who is in your ship and the anchor of your soul.”

* * * * * * *

“You cannot reason with demons so don’t argue.

If the person cannot receive what you are conveying, be quiet, and keep your peace.

The enemy is calling you “sheltered” and trying to say you are out of touch with life and the world when in fact you are praying for your world!

This is a tactic of the enemy to bait you out to argue and beguile you and twist your words, to put the blame on you!

Don’t receive their blame and speak the truth and release them and let them go!

When they argue and put the blame on you it is actually the evil spirit that is talking through the person they mirror who they are to be you!

Don’t receive the blame, shame, game, or guilt! It isn’t about you, it’s about tactics the enemy is using to try and silence you! Give NO more place to the devil!”

* * * * * * *

“As believers, we must learn to walk in the Spirit and not be conformed to what people want, because these that are not of God, OR some can be of God, can pull you away from your steadfastness in Christ.

Put no confidence in an unfaithful person.

You cannot depend or rely on anyone who is fickle and double-minded. People come and go and are led by the desire of the flesh with every wind and popular idea.

They may be all for you one day and against you in the next. Or these will change moment by moment. Take back your sanity and live!”

Fickle, Fickle and Double-Minded!

The Holy Spirit spoke the word ‘Fickle’ to me. He also said ‘Double-Mindedness.’ and not to put confidence in a fickle or double-minded or unstable person.

A Look at the word ‘Fickle’.

The Holy Spirit spoke the word ‘Fickle’ to me today.

He also said ‘Double-Mindedness.’ He said not to ever put confidence in a fickle or double-minded and unstable person.

Fickle: Definition (from ©Dictionary.com)

“People who change their minds on a whim, or appear to, often without being able or prepared to explain why. Likely to change, especially due to caprice, irresolution, or instability; casually changeable, not constant or loyal in affections, unstable, unsteady, variable, capricious, fitful, inconstant. Fickle, inconstant, vacillating, describe persons or things that are not firm or steady in affection, behavior, opinion, or loyalty. Fickle implies an underlying perversity as a cause for the lack of stability: rejected by a fickle public. Inconstant suggests an innate disposition to change.”

As believers, we must learn to walk in The Spirit and not be conformed to what people want, because these that are not of God can pull you away from your steadfastness in The LORD.

Put no confidence in an unfaithful person. You cannot depend or rely on anyone who is fickle and double-minded.

People come and go and are led by the desire of the flesh with every wind and popular idea. They may be all for you one day and against you in the next. Or these will change moment by moment.

Having a lot of friends or numbers of people beloved is not an indicator of success, neither is popularity. I see so many superficial people. Do not let this bother you and just move on with those who want to be connected with you in The LORD.

Having relationships with those who are unequally yoked with you — can hinder you.

Do not plow with an ox and an ass together. Not only will the same yoke not fit right, but the ox will also pull forward and the ass will stubbornly resist and sit. Do not yoke together an ox and ass.

“For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder,” Nahum 1:13 KJV.

Do not measure your plumb line against whitewashed walls; they are filled with dead men’s bones. You must never turn over trust to a fickle person.

If someone said they will be there for you they will be there! If something happens and they leave, don’t take it personally beloved.

If someone says they are committed to God and His leadership then they change, which is an indicator of lack of integrity and loyalty.

Learn to discern beloved. Watch people and put no confidence in an unfaithful man. There are many who say they would be your friend and they put up a good show, but they leave that should be a red flag.

Go with your gut. When they go, do not try to convince them to stay. Let them go beloved. It is actually a good thing.

Forgive them, release them, and let them go. Why? It only gets worse and you don’t need the grief. There are plenty of others that are sincere and actually need our help.

People are fickle, but those who are with you and sent by God will remain no matter what because God told them to be there. There are no stable novices. You need to be fruit watchers.

You cannot hang out with an unfaithful person or you will come into league with them. We need to be sure of whom we keep company with.

Often people will promise you the moon! But the signs are there beloved, learn to trust, and believe what God is showing you because they have no substance of faith in their lives.

Those who are double-minded, fickle, wishy-washy, are unstable IN ALL THEIR WAYS! Give no place to the devil and deliver yourself from fickle people, you don’t need this unless they are truly surrendered to God’s will.

I hope this helps to encourage you or all relationships. May we all surrender to God’s will and not our own will, in Jesus’ name!

“Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever. And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, The LORD cometh with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage. But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,” Jude 1:11-17 KJV.
