The Evidence

About a week ago I had the opportunity to be in the mist of healing session. Two friends who had been praying for healing in two different ways but the same area. One was in need of a breakthrough when it came to conceiving the other healing from an operation. Both needed something new to happen with their husbands and marriage and even their attitude about their marriage. Have you been there? Seeking GOD for a change but not changing your attitude about what you seeking change in or for? I have... My Prayers would be like...Daddy please change my heart about this.... or Daddy please allow me to have a better attitude about this.... But no where in waiting on Daddy to do his thing that I did mine. No where did I speak positive about the situation or even allow there to be a place of praise and thanksgiving about the expected outcome. SIDEBAR: The evidence of what you asking Daddy to manifest is in your pre response not your post. Stop waiting to see the signs and wonders of Daddy working on your behalf and start thanking him that he has worked on your behalf and the signs and wonders will only add to your testimony. Ok... Sorry back to the post. So while out of town we had the opportunity to have a conversation with a great man of GOD who gave us words for all our situations. But it was not only the conviction that brought breaking, but the evidence. The evidence of the breathe or wind of GOD. What is the breathe or wind of  GOD? The Holy Spirit, the one that JESUS called the comforter. John 14:16-18 says: 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. (KJV)

The evidence of Daddy's love after giving his son to be sacrificed can be found in the post resurrection event of JESUS talking to his disciples. He not only calls the Holy Spirit the comforter, but, is truth, a gift that the world would not be able to receive, and he would dwell with you always. Then in the end of it, JESUS leaves us with the evidence that he will never leave us (you) comfortless. What does this have to do with anything you ask? The evidence of the Holy Spirit allow us to have the evidence of peace and comfort, because he is our truth he allows what we see to be blocked and reveals what Daddy sees for us.  The evidence of the comforter even goes farther when we look at Acts 1 & 2 and see the story of the day of Pentecost and how people were filled with the Holy Spirit, baptized in the spirit, and the spirit was poured out. The evidence!  This same evidence is what my friends in their situations experience. The out pour of the Holy Spirit and the manifestation of great comfort. I think this is what Daddy want for us, but because of unsure faith of the manifestation of the  results we seek or the results we can't control; we miss the evidence of the Holy Spirit. But we must remember that in the out pouring the evidence of the Holy Spirit yield supernatural result that cause life changing actions.
Prayer: Daddy so many times we find ourselves asking for things that we must first prepare ourselves for. That we must lean not on our own understanding and vision, but the vision and understanding of you. We seek your supernatural without tapping into what you have place in us, The Comforter... The Holy Spirit. Daddy as we yield our issues, situations, and circumstances to you, we not only take upon an attitude of victory, but an attitude of tapping into the evidence of the comforter. That the Holy Spirit shall pour out a breathe of comfort and truth, guiding us to a place of purpose in you. Daddy thank you for the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit thank you for interceding on our behalf, for setting the atmosphere for supernatural results from Daddy, for being the comforter we need in hard, unrealistic, faithless, and hopeless times in our lives. We thank you JESUS for your sacrifices for your promise to never leave us comfortless. In JESUS name...AMEN!

The Gift

John 3:16: "For GOD so love the world that he gave, his only son that whoever believes in him shall have every lasting life."
The gift of love is so great and unconditional. As I think about the gift of love that Daddy has shown me I get overwhelm with joy and gratitude. I was listening to a great sermon when I had the minister say "Love never counts its giving." What a power statement. To know that Daddy give up his only son to gain access to millions of sons and daughters that didn't even understand the giving at the time. What a gift!!! To know that Daddy continues to give you love despite...whatever sin you commit. What a great gift!! That when you rise every morning you possess the word of breath in you. In Genesis it states that "He breathed life into the nostrils of man." What a gift!!! To know that every time you breath in and out that your are breathing the beginning and end of what Daddy breathed into Adam when he created him. What a great gift!!! What an awesome gift!!! Know that you possess a gift that Jesus went to hell for just so that you can have an eternal life. A gift that give you access to an eternal heritage of provision, protection, and promise. A gift that took only one person's sacrifice so you wouldn't have to die in your sin and give you access to the father. A gift that can't be place on a value scale. One that overrides what others say about you. One that opens the doors to Daddy's presence and gives you a personal intercessor. WHAT A GIFT!!!  So today as you deal with situations, issues, and circumstances, remember the gift that was given to you. And if you are reading this and you have not accepted the gift can I extend the gift to you. If you want the gift and all that it can give you just pray this prayer with a heart of acceptance and faith: Daddy I am sorry that I have allow my own will to outweigh the gift your son's life. Forgive me! Forgive me for the things that have hindered me from see the value of this gift and the worth of it on my life. Right I believe that you JESUS are that gift and I receive you with an open heart and a submitting will. I believe JESUS that you died for me, fought for me, and  rose with all power in your that I may have eternal life and access to the father. I give you me in exchange for you. In JESUS Name. AMEN!!!

Prayer: Daddy I thank you for those that read this message about the gift and give their lives to you and received the most valuable gift that they could except... JESUS. Daddy I thank you for the gift. The gift of something that no man could create only you can give. I thank for the gift. The gift to be your daughter, to be your servant, to be who you called and purpose me to be; with faith and boldness, lacking nothing, with holding nothing. Daddy we thank you for the newness of your grace, the forgiveness of your mercy, and the peace of your joy. Thank you for being our Daddy. In JESUS Name... AMEN

The Experience

On this past weekend after a girls roadtrip (which was suppose to be a day thing, that turned into a weekend) I got to experience something new that remind me of the story of the man whose friends place him in the center of healing in a house. So let me retell the story that can be found in Mark 2:4; Luke 5:19. So Jesus was in the town healing people and he was doing it in a house that fully packed with people that were seeking and getting healed. These friends of a paralyzed man decided that they need to bring their friend to this house so that JESUS could heal him. Well they couldn't get through the doors of the house due to the crowd, but they were desperate to get their friend healed. So with teamwork and careful planning they climb to the roof top of the house with their friend who was laying on a cot and beginning to tear the roof off the house. SIDEBAR: You need people in your life who are willing to think outside the box, and who are desperate to see you healed. Ok... Back to the story. So the friends created an opening big enough to lower the friend who was paralyzed and on the cot down to the center of the crowd and in front of JESUS. SIDEBAR: I don't know where they got the rope to attach to the cot to lower him down, but can I tell you, you always need friends that are prepared... So let's continue the story.... JESUS stop and said to the man... Because of the faith of your friends you are healed... Now it doesn't say anything about what happen to the friends, but in my Holy Ghost Imagination (that's what a former pastor of mine use to say) I know that JESUS healed his friends to... Why you say that, you ask? Because it was their selflessness, faith, perseverance, and reluctance love for their friend that they went to the extreme to get their friend healed. JESUS acknowledge that and in his acknowledge I feel he was speaking healing, prosperity, and blessings to them and their household. So with that being said let me go back to the story of my girls roadtrip. We were at a friends house, who told us that we needed to meet this young man who was a prophet. We were open and we had all been a place of needing something great to happen spiritually. So the young man came and begin to prophecy to us individually; afterwards, he begin to pray for two of the friends that came with me on the trip. Well why he prayed, I touch and agree and intercede for them as well. They in return got to experience the power of GOD's glory and healing with the evidence of the Holy Spirit. Now after every thing was over I beginning to experience the healing that I had been seeking Daddy for. Because of their experience I gain a blessing too. Just like the friends of the paralyzed man. Their faith manifested his healing, but they returned got blessed too. That's just like Daddy. He creates an opportunity for one person to get a direct experience of him, but in return others get to experience the effect of his glory too.

Prayer: Daddy thank you for the experience. The experience of your new grace and mercy daily. Your love and eternal peace. Your gift of life and the title to be your child, to be called son or daughter. Daddy we enjoy the experience of you period, never taking it for granted, never losing sight of its value in and over our life. Daddy thank you for the experience of your healing, your provision, and protection through the blood of JESUS. Thank you for the opportunity to always be able to come to you for ourselves and experience the weight of your glory. To dwell in the presence of you. We love you Daddy and we understand that an experience with you is greater than anything that this world could ever offer. In JESUS Name.... AMEN!

The Vision

I am sure you have heard of the famous vision scripture found in Habakkuk 2:2-3: “Write the vision, make it plan that he who reads it can run with it. But the part B is what really gets me... For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end – it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay. It will not delay... What a vision! Not only does GOD tell us to write the vision, but he lets us know that it will not come to pass as soon as we right it, that it will have an appointed time for it's manifestation. When it comes to vision there are three ways that we can categorized the sight of. These three vision categories are:

Clear Vision: the ability to notice and acknowledge the facts but activate the faith. Having the boldness to write the vision down and await its appointed time and to be patient enough to wait for its manifestation with confidence
  • When you have clear vision you understand that failures are the cosigners to success.

Blurry Vision: knowing and focusing on the facts with the knowledge of what faith can do. Having the courage to write the vision, but doubting in your waiting. Praying for the promise that has already been cosigned by GOD with YES and Amen!
  • Placing your value more on your failures over your accomplishments. Allowing yourself to bounded with doubt, confusion, frustration., and stuck in a cycle of insecurity.
  • Here you must seek the prayer of Proverbs 3:5: ”Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding; and in all your ways submit him and he will make your path straight.”

Blindness: faithfully doubting in the vision of your heart and paralyzed in fear that you can't even write down the vision.
  • Can’t see pass the pain of your past, because the pain is still in your present. You are bound by lack, ignorance, and stubbornness.
  • In his vision category you must pray Isaiah 43:18-19: “ Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!”

Now that you know where your vision could be and were it should be, evaluate your vision. Are you possessing a clear vision or one that has you totally blind. Whatever your vision know that Daddy can take you where you need to be only if your wait, hold fast, and trust in his YES and AMEN.


Prayer: Daddy vision is what you had when you form this place we call earth. You saw darkness and created light. You saw void and created substance. You saw loneliness and created partnership. Daddy as we write our visions, give us clarity on the process we should take. Allow us to be connected with our runners, helping us to wait on timing that is perfect for its manifestation. Daddy allow our vision to be that of clear and not blindness. Help us to disconnect ourselves for people, places, and things that keep us in the place of blindness. Daddy we know that in the end you will get the glory and because of that we stay encouraged, hopeful, and remain excited at the greatness of what you bring forth through our obedience. In Jesus Name! AMEN

The Attitude of A Daughter

Ok.. I am coming to you Daddy because I realize that my attitude stinks. I mean truly stinks. For the past couple of months I have allowed myself to be sounded by my issues, situations, and circumstances, while trying to be there for others. I have cause myself to be moved, wavered, and persuaded by the things that others discussed with me. I have a bad attitude Daddy. I mean I am at a point where people just truly get on my nervous and I wonder why they are in my life..UGH Daddy I am totally disappointed with how I feel right now. Don't even know how this feeling came to be, but I do know that I don't like it and it's not me. I do know that this is not Christ like of me. Daddy this is not the attitude of your daughter. This is not how your children are suppose to look. I am filled with envy, which is bubbles over into jealousy, which manifest into anger, and result in disappointment. This is not the attitude of your daughter Daddy. What do I do? What can I pray? To get back to the attitude of your daughter? Daughter seek my word, change your behavior towards me. I have and still am a routine to you. You have to understand that you can't place me inside your box or a box period. I know you stress and strained about the prayers you feel I have not heard or answered. I know you think that things are coming against you and you doubtful about what this life has to offer. I know you had things under control and now they are out of your control. I know that you feel like things are happening for everyone but you. But daughter that should not change your attitude about the goodness of who I am as you father, provider, protector, love, friend, husband, counselor, listening year, and most of all your GOD. Did you forget that I am the "I AM?" Have you forgotten that I will and my will is greater than yours. Daughter change your attitude by changing your sight. Stop looking at the big picture or even the picture through your eyes. Stop looking at things as failure and start looking at the promise victory that I have always told you about. I know you feel like things are not working out in your favor and that you feel incomplete in certain areas. But you are whole in me. Stop looking at things in the perspective of time and opportunity and start looking at things in praise my glory. Here is what I need you to pray when your attitude doesn't look like mine:

*Prayer: Daddy this is the day that you have made I will rejoice and be glad in it. I believe that I will look up at the goodness of you and live in the land of the living. I will rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation be constant in prayer. For Daddy I know that this light momentary affliction is preparing me for an eternal weight of glory beyond comparison. I know that whatever I ask in prayer I will receive only if I have faith. I will destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of  you Daddy, and take every thought captive to obey Christ. I will put off my old self and be made new in the attitude of my mind. Whatever I do I will do it all for the glory of you Daddy. Understanding that I must believe in your exists and seek you to see your rewards. I know that without faith it's impossible to please you Daddy; therefore, I look not to the things that are seen, but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. Daddy today I place these things into effect in my life by sealing them in Jesus name  and agreeing to this decree with AMEN.

Now daughter pray these things when your attitude seem to to be out of place and it start to stink. Because while you are praying my Holy Spirit is convicting and the blood of my son Jesus is correcting. Remember my grace is sufficient it never runs out and it renews itself daily. Stay focus on me and stop trying to control what is out of your hands or not even meant for you to handle. I have you , but you have to truly trust me with your every thing. I will Daddy! I will work on trusting you moving in your yes instead of  going against your no and my it is so. Well Daughter that's all I ask. Love you! Love you too Daddy.

* The following are scriptures used to write the prayer. They are listed as they appeared in the prayer:
Ps118:24, Ps27:13, Rom12:12, 2Cor4:17, Matt21:22, 2Cor10:5, Eph 4:22-23, 1Cor10:31, Heb11:6, and 2Cor4:18 EVS and NIV
