    Clap Your Hands, Shout, and Sing Praises to the Lord

    Clap Your Hands, Shout, and Sing Praises to the Lord

    (Intentional Prayer) - Intermittent Audio Prayer Break
    Pray the Scriptures: I will clap my hands! I will shout to God with joyful praise! For the Lord Most High is awesome. He is the great King of all the earth. He subdues the nations before me, putting my enemies beneath my feet. He chose the Promised Land as my inheritance, the proud possession of Jacob’s descendants, whom he loves. Lord thank You for my personal Promised Land. Fighting this spiritual battle in order to conquer the land has drawn me closer to You. Thank You for being right by my side […]

    No Satisfaction – Not on My Watch

    No Satisfaction – Not on My Watch

    Count it ALL joy. Wow! This seems virtually impossible. A word that has been interchanged with count is the word consider. To consider it an opportunity for great joy is to think ahead or to look ahead. When there are tests and trials and heart wrenching struggles, there is room for God to move. Counting it all joy or considering it an opportunity for great joy is looking ahead to a better day. It's saying, “If I’m this low now, just think about how high God can elevate the circumstances of my life.” In the midst of our trials, we have the gift of looking ahead to the joy of watching God work it for good. We can watch Him settle a situation or reverse circumstances. We can watch Him wipe the slate clean. If He did it before, He can do it again. NOT ON MY WATCH will I give Satan any satisfaction of seeing me stay down […]

    Steps to Life

    Steps to Life

    (Intentional Prayer) - Intermittent Audio Prayer Break
    Pray the Scriptures: Lord, I come to You this day, not for my own needs, but for those of others who do not understand the necessity to know You. I intercede on behalf of those who have yet to find the path that leads to freedom through Christ Jesus. For individuals who have uttered the words, "I won't do it!" or "I can't do it!" I humbly request that You would break down their stubborn will and open their heart to a better way. Heavenly Father, I pray for their willingness and ability to see the darkness that surrounds them and for an understanding to emerge within their souls to where they want to follow You […]

    Living Above Our Circumstances

    Living Above Our Circumstances

    "God, I need Your help. Settle my thoughts and help me to learn to live above my circumstances." If it's not one thing, it's another. I believe that God wants to use me through prayer and encouragement through my hard times to encourage others. Yes, God's Word is enough all by itself, but we must also know how to practically make it through this journey; applying that Word to our individual circumstances. It (life, that is) is really hard sometimes and I believe that we need to honestly express that so that others will know that, "Hey, I'm not alone. She's a follower of Christ or he's a follower of Christ, but yet they have struggles, too. So, how do they make it through? What's different about them? What do they hold on to in times of distress?" [...]

    You Can Comfortably Rest in Him

    You Can Comfortably Rest in Him

    (Intentional Prayer) - Intermittent Audio Prayer Break
    Pray the Scriptures: Lord, when I come to You, tired in my body, exhausted in my thought processing, frazzled in my soul, I know that I come to the God of my salvation who offers complete rest for me. El Shaddai, God Almighty, I know that I am able to transfer all that I carry upon Your shoulders, releasing the heaviness that this life attempts to outfit me in each day. From Your well filled with unconditional love and grace and mercy, I am able to draw all the resources that I need. As one of the many benefits offered to me, You so graciously maintain an open door policy, through Jesus Christ, which always and without reservation needed, allows me to lay my weight upon Your throne […]

    Let It Do What It Do

    Let It Do What It Do

    (Intentional Prayer) - Intermittent Audio Prayer Break
    Pray the Scriptures: Lord, Your Word has been designed as an instrument for deliverance. It is complete, active and powered by You. It is enough and I am enough to confidently read and meditate on its truths. I feel Your power, while I utilize the Word of God in prayer as I strive to connect with You. With my voice, let me lift You up so that others may feel Your presence and see You moving within their set of circumstances. Lord, let Your Word do what it is intended to do. You require nothing out of the ordinary of me, for I am special as I am, sufficient as You made me to be. For I am Your chosen child, still growing, still learning, still finishing my process, letting Your Word do what it was uniquely created for, fulfilling it's purpose, and soothing every doubt that comes to destroy [...]
