2018 was a great year, even in the times of heartaches and pain. Watching God even take my tears of pain and loss, and use them for nourishing the ground of my future of hope and dreams. I praise Him for His presence in my life and the signs and wonders that follow those who believe. I praise Him for the ability and calling that He continually seems to unfold before me. Watching God use me, a knucklehead, to develop and implement ministries like the “COME ALIVE!” conferences is very humbling. He continually shows me how easy revival can be through the power of Gospel. It doesn’t take years or even months for revival to ignite. Revival is upon the power of the Holy Spirit and the use of His tools He prepared for us. It’s time for the dead bones to COME ALIVE! again!!!
I praise God that He heals my pain and continues to transform me from “Victim to Victorious” (A new ministry in the starting phase). He continues to heal and strengthen me in what the devil intended for evil and destruction. Thus, just as HE rebuked the storm/wind (spiritual causes) and spoke peace over the waves (physical/emotional symptoms), that authority and power rests within my spirit to do the same thru His Spirit. I praise God He has taught me, and continues to teach me how to wield His power and authority as signs to both believers and unbelievers of His true Grace.
I praise him for inspiring me to finish a second book that speaks to the culture and religiosity within the churches, and a call back to repentance and Jesus methods of promoting and proclaiming the Gospel in Word and in Action. Churches continue to become more worldly and paganistic in their teaching and acceptances. Help the new wave of modern day prophets to speak words that will convict the hearts of men, bring repentance and release a fresh ministering of the Holy Ghost as a tsunami of revival and salvations break out in the churches chasing after Your presence and outpouring, and not in ‘mankind’s’ intellect, knowledge and religious ‘boxes’.
I praise Him for His refreshing presence in this spiritually dark time, and His unfailing love and outpouring as I attempt to seek Him with all my heart and strength. And, as I bring others along to experience His presence and Kingdom power. It’ time to quit talking about the King of kings, and Lord of lords, and start to SHOW people who HE IS!!! God wants to bring the churches out of the tombs of religion and compromise into a joyous and vibrant life of revival and spiritual reproduction of salvations and discipleship.
I praise Him for my family, church family and extended ‘Kingdom’ family. He continues to reveal my callings in the prophetic, apostolic and evangelistic realms. I praise Him for the gifts that He has placed around me in the lives of others to pour into me. I hope and trust that He will continue to open new doors of ministry and opportunity to perpetuate His revival in New Auburn and many other places He calls me. I praise Him that he provides people that I can minister with and to. Not by my might nor my power, but by His Spirit …!!!
I pray He continues to open new doors of ministry and opportunity to “grow and go”. I continue to pray for God to ruin me for the things of this realm, and refine me and define me for His glory and Kingdom principles. I pray that His End Time message will flow through me whether it is well received, or highly rejected. It is increase that I long for. I pray that I can decrease so that He will increase in my life. Lord teach me your ways. Show me your path. Instruct me of your wisdom. Declare to me your Truth. Release in my life your authority and power. Release your miracles, signs and wonders as a sign of my belief. Fill me with your Spirit as I empty myself of me. Saturate me with your Fruit of the Spirit. Flow through me with the Gifts of the Spirit. Ignite me to be a catalyst of revival and a demonstrative example of Your Presence. Help me discern in my life and in others good and evil, as well as callings and giftings. Continue to give me dreams and visions. And, I relinquish control over my life to Your leading and guiding.
Lord, I thank you that 2019 will be another anointed year through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit as they lead and guide me to the Father. I need Your Presence in my life! I can’t wait to see what ‘WE’ are going to do together in Your power and might.
