Ephesians 1: 17,18
May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory...give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him.
That the eyes of your understanding be enlightened that you may know what is the hope of His calling and what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints.
Beloved of God, This is "all about you"
Do you really want to make a difference in your world? I'm sure as most believers deep down in your heart you do. Once you realize and start to see the purpose and potential of God through Christ Jesus in "your" life rather than looking at others and thinking "I wish I could" , "I wish I could" You will!
Why would "you or I " ever want to be like someone else when God has made us so beautifully unique. As reading in beautiful Psalm 139 reveals to us.
Yes, you have something so unique and special that others don't have. Your finger print is one of a kind. Your eyes hair your personality are just the way you were meant to be. No one can fill your shoes like "you" can. God has created you for a specific purpose and reason. And only "you" must discover how God wants to use you. Don"t be anxious about this for It's already within you. You "will feel comfortable" in it. Your hunger and love for God to search for the spot light of your very own arena will bring you the peace of God that will surpass all understanding. "His Peace" will forever be our guide and our daily strength.
Make it your desire to accomplish this with an open ready heart and soon it will gently unfold as you take the word of God such as this beautiful "Ephesians" scripture and pray it into your life daily. God loves when we pray His words over our lives. It shows Him how much we love and desire to be like His precious Son Jesus. After all, He is our example. God is made flesh in "Jesus" for all of us to follow". "How Awesome" and "mind boggling" and "Great" is the Love of God unto us!
So Ask, Seek, and Knock, for only those who stay "focused and persistent" will reap! and truly fulfill our lives in Him.
Prayer
I pray today for the spirit of wisdom and revelation for my friends today. That they would pray diligently for these wonderful gifting s to come alive in their hearts and lives. Oh Lord that they would see how much they are needed in our lost, dark and fear ridden world.
I pray your precious ones would come to the realization of who they are in Christ Jesus and what a unique and high purpose He has for You (enter your name) as you walk closely in His footsteps.
*Open my eyes (your name) to see through "Your" precious eyes the desperate needs in this epidemic of hurting people in our world by reaching out to make a difference daily. Even i it's only through a warm smile or a timely prayer.
*Remind me of how truly special and unique I am to "You Lord" and that you have created and designed me for one thing "to reflect the love of Jesus".
*Turn my heart away from discouraging words or lies the devil places into my mind to deter me from the vital and important mission you have for me..
*Help me to see into the high calling of greatness you have placed over my life to walk.
* Let not the desires of my own heart become more overpowering than the breath of your life leading and chalenging me daily.
*That I would desire to continually seek for your perfect will. For your Holy Spirit to be the only voice I become acquainted with and abide in continualy.
*Finally to come into realization of my glorious hope and calling through the abundant riches and glory of "My inheritance" through "Christ Jesus".
Beloved,... God awaits for you to pray His powerfully anointed scriptural prayers over your life. This Ephesian prayer will enlighten and encourage you to become more and more like His Son Jesus. Ever renewing and releasing this hope within you of your divine calling. Only then you will taste and experience what God "will" do with a yielded vessel such as "You are" to mold and use as He wills.

Praying and Waiting
Lord, you tell me in your word not to loose heart and keep on trusting and believing ? But "why" do you allow me to wait so long for some healings in my body while other circumstances come so quickly. Why does this need I'm waiting for today still not become manifested? I "Am" praying.
If you have found yourself saying these words I surely can understand and relate. There have been times when waiting for a healing or a change of circumstances that seems to be take days, months or even years. We can't understand why if God says He is our healer why doesn't He just simply heal our situations right away. This is a question of much controversy in most believers hearts.
Did you ever think that while we are in a situation of discomfort pain or maybe great unhappiness of circumstances that the Lords desire to heal and comfort us is instantly heard. But in fact there are dark evil strongholds keeping these requests from coming to pass in our lives. We find this by Reading the story of Daniel in old testament telling us that he prayed for 21 days before his answer came "via" a personal visit from the warring Angel ( Many believe to be Gabriel ) saying, Daniels prayers were heard immediately but took 21 days because of "tremendous demonic warfare" taking place in the heavenlys.
(Daniel 10:12)
Then He said unto me fear not from the first day thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before the Lord God, thy words were heard verse :13 but the Prince of Persia withstood me one and twenty days. This meaning demon warfare with angelic messengers keeping our prayers from being received into our lives. This clearly shows us "not to give up" or the devil wins. Michael was then called upon bringing emediate "victory"! Do you see why the "pressing in and not giving up" is so vitally important. Intercession (Holy Spirit led prayers) is needed to break through in the spirit realm. This is where the "God given power" is. This is why its so important to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit with it's power). Not only water baptism.
Psalm 40:1 I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
This word "incline" means to deviate from an erect position.
The "Noah Websters1828 first Edition of the American Dictionary of the English language" describes it like this "To bend stoop or bow lovingly concerned". The Lord is actually stooping down hovering over you listening with compassion our heartfelt prayers. An act of endearment and tender love that you don't see but sense and feel as your paying. His "Holy Spirit" breathing lovingly into you and I "listening and waiting"and interceding and crying with you. During these moments as you linger in His presence there may be other things He will show you by His Spirit to comfort and help you. These intimate times become what I call the "Glory realm" a vision may appear or maybe a word whispered into your heart or a lingering from the Holy Spirit that brings into your being a miraculous peacefulness you desperately need . So be sensitive believing just as the scripture says "He inclined unto me and heard my cry". He is with you while you are crying out to Him in prayer.
There are also countless testimony's of this unexplainable love through someone else interceding through prayers directed by the "Holy Spirit". To pray for another in trouble this my friend is a "spiritual call for help" from God for "you to pray right now!" Just as an ambulance blows it's horn when rushing to someone in need. This urgency is your call to pray for another as you become more and more sensitive and yeiled tn prayer. On this spiritual level mysterious people may appear as an answer to you prayers just in time to help someone out of a wrecked car or keep someone from drowning. These are "Angels" on assignment ministering prior to a tragic event bringing someone to safely. Or as in this next story I will share with you shows how the Lord answered the deepest prayers of a woman's desperate search for the truth to be made known to her through the very unusual circumstance "a broken t.v" that suddenly started working in the midnight hour showing her the way truth and life in Jesus Christ.
A pregnant woman who previously had her other two children delivered at home ran into complications with her third child's home birthing. Because of her religious beliefs she believed no other help should be administered which kept her from receiving the medical attention she desperately needed in her excessive laboring that led from hours into days. Her husband relented after being pressured by his wife's friend to do something "Quickly" before they both die!
Rushing her in to a nearby Hospital Emergency room found their unborn child had already stopped breathing for to long a period of time and had already died in her womb.
Through the mercy of God and a heartbroken mothers prayers they saw a miracle take place as the E.R. doctors resuscitated the infant back to life.
Her story goes on to say she was locked in a "tradition and form" of rebellious belief that imprisoned her family with strict legalism and fear that she would go to hell for simply cutting her hair, or wearing earrings. The list went and on. She knew nothing else from her youth about true salvation or freedom through Christ Jesus. It was her persistent cry's for God to intervene with " the truth" that brought her a break through as mysterious thing took place while she was pressing into the night praying and crying out to God. A christian program kept popping up on the screen of a "broken" t.v. while she fervently sought for answers deep into the night. God was intervening right before her eyes by bringing her answer through an Evangelist teaching and preaching the love of Christ, without all the "man made" laws and legalism she so urgently needed to hear to be set free.
With the help of her closest Christian friend she was able to attend christian gatherings which brought restoration and healing into her ready heart delivering her and her family from the dark condemning religious lifestyle that was not from God but from 'man". May I again again remind you the t.v. was totally broken and unusable but this Christian Preacher kept appearing over and over while every other station was black. She unmistakably knew it was God speaking directly to her while "desperately" searching for the truth. Yes"God heard" and responded quickly reaching out to her in a way she would never forget that it was Him!
On the another side of my spiritual walk I have lost some wonderful believing friends that during their sickness I spent countless hours laying hands on them praying and doing all I knew to do in the scriptures and they "still" went home to be with the Lord before their time.. These traumatic disappointments left me shattered in my faith. Again we can ask Why Lord WHY? I prayed knowing and believing you would heal them. During one of these times pressing deep into the night He told me "You didn't know the heart of His loved one" "Only I do" He went on to tell me "They desired to go with me to their eternal peace". The Lord said "I will never supersede the desires of his precious ones requests". I will never forget His answer as it so deeply touched my heart till this day.
I learned a very deep truth from the throne of God Himself. He will never force a person when deep within they have run the good race of faith and are ready to at "Long at last" be with "The Lord."
The realm of the Spiritual is not like this natural one. Once we are at that point of crossing over Its up to us if we stay or go. If a person is very weak and old is is inevitable that they are ready. But for the younger the only time God will not deem our request to let go of this earthly realm is when He knows there are still many things He desires for us to still do here. Knowing we are needed here for "His" special assignments and kingdom work.
The pregnant woman's child should have never lived after being in labor for so many days but God had a plan, a miraculous plan and a testimony for this family to be part of so that countless others would be set free from the legalism of hateful religious beliefs that are not of Him. Also hearing of the miraculous ways of our "Wonderful Good God" Who is "Truly alive" and still setting people free as we call upon the wonderful name of "Jesus" who is still "Healing" us in "body soul and spirit" faithfully as we call upon His "Mighty" name in this "Holy most intimate encounter" we call "prayer".

Does "anyone" care?
Yes Someone Cares!
God says to "You" this day.
Don't you know that I have created this universe and all others still being discovered at this moment! Look up at the mountain of clouds rolling in my magnificent Heaven. My "Glory" awakens the world as the day breaks then I put it to rest at sunset blessing you with day to work hard and night to rest in my "Almighty" peace.
I have created each day "a painting" for you to enjoy and surround you with my love and signature reminding you of my abundant presence in your life. Look! see the trees and the lovely flowers I have given you each in their season so that you'll never be listless as they cheerfully brightening your heart with my continual joyfull array of colors preparing you for whats awaits you in heaven one day..
Listen and you will hear my seranade comeing from my tiniest winged creatures as my songbirds sing in purest Angelic tongues, my love song to you.
Be watchfull of my lakes and rivers a constant reminder of my ever flowing love to you. The strong and mighty waves controling the seas continually rolling with power that no one else commands except your Father God.
Whose dark blanket beckens the day creatures to their place of sleep as others are awakened as horizons of azure like a mother peeking softly to awaken her infant babe.
Who hears your cry sending Angelic beings to the earth to those who love my "Son Jesus" A precious gift of my Light to a world of darkness and sin. And even those who have "spurned and cursed" Him with fist held high will I heal and draw unto myself.
You ask me this day "does Anyone care for Me"?
I say to "You" this day "I Love You"
Even after all that I have created. My most prized possetion will forever be "You" My precious creation.
My precious child I will never leave you or forsake you till the end of time istelf when I will take you up to my Heavens to be completely mine in "Eternal peace" for ever more.
**Psalms 103:13 N.K.J. Tells us As a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear Him.
The Hebrew word for pity means to "to fondle, to cuddle to love, be compassionate. God is saying He is cuddling you. God is putting His arms around you and is stroking your cheeks. He is holding you saying "I know your concern, I know what your going through. No matter what your facing "I care"
God is not mad or angry with you. No! He is thinking wonderful thoughts about you.. "Yes you may be going through a great trial or are being tempted and tossed. But know that you are my child and I will not allow the enemy to trap or ensnare you I will bring you through this battle in life. Yes! Keep on praying trusting me I am going to bring you through!.
Your Father God
