You can overcome anything ...

Daily prophetic word 
Fear of Failure Broken!
"For you have not been created for failure," says the Lord.  "Even this day, the fear of failure would try to tell you a lie and that you will never succeed.  Rise up now and break the fear and that voice of failure in your life!"

Prophetic Scripture:
Joshua 1:8 - This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein:  for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

The fear of failure is one of the greatest obstacles that people have to overcome.  Most often we fear failure because of a previous negative experience, when something didn't work out the way we planned.  Maybe it was a prayer that we prayed and we didn't receive the answer we wanted.  Perhaps, it was a project or business endeavor that didn't produce the desired results.  Whatever your circumstance happens to be, these things can plant a failure mentality or fear of failure in our minds.  Then as you step out in faith again, your mind will try to tell you, "remember what happened the last time?"  If we are not careful, then we find ourselves less willing to take steps toward the success God really intends for our lives.  However, the verse above, tells us the our road to good success is found by meditating on the Word of God.  Why is that true?  Because, if you keep looking at all those previous experiences, you will lack confidence in your ability to succeed in life.  But if you look everyday at all the promises and encouragement found in the Bible, you will go through the day feeling like you can overcome anything!  In addition to that, a lifestyle of daily focus on God's Word will also help you stay obedient to the Lord, and that in itself will keep you clear of failure!  We don't have to fear any type of failure when we keep our eyes on the Lord and His Word.  In fact, we have the power to speak to those thoughts and demons of failure and tell them to leave us in Jesus' Name.  Rise up and break the fear of failure trying to enter your life today! 

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, I know that You have created me to be successful.  I set my attention upon Your words today and ask that You will help me see the plan of success You have for my life.  I command all fear of failure to leave my life and declare that I shall be successful in the Lord!  In Jesus' Name, Amen!

Time to move on ...

Daily prophetic word 
Let it Go!
"Know that this is not the time to hold any offense in your heart toward another," says the Lord.  "Drop all feelings of resentment and anger in this season, even let them go from your thoughts.  For many answers to prayer are just waiting to be released out of the heavens for those of a forgiving heart."

Prophetic Scripture:
Mark 11:24-25 - Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.  And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

It is easy to overlook the fact that answered prayer and forgiveness go hand-in-hand.  Yet, no matter how we slice the pie, this is a biblical truth.  In Matthew 18, the story of the servant who asked his master to forgive him was shown a great amount of mercy and spared from prison.  However, that same servant went and found someone indebted to him and refused to show forgiveness like he had received.  As a result, the servant lost his answer to prayer.  His requests to his master were taken away from him once his master found out what he had done.  Prayer is the same way.  The things we pray for and ask God for in the expectation of His mercy toward us, are dependant on whether or not we are willing to show the same kindness and grant the requests of others with mercy.  The reason the Lord so despises an unforgiving heart is because everything we receive from Him has come through His forgiveness for us.  Every time He has supplied a new job, healed a loved one or answered our prayers, it is because we are forgiven and handed His mercy each time.  Therefore, that is how the Lord expects us to deal with others.  We have to look past their faults and let go of our offenses.  Besides all of that, offense brewing in your heart toward someone else will only tear you apart.  It will eat away at you and take away your joy.  You might ask, "Yes, but what about the joy they stole from me!"  Well, I say don't let them steal it further through an unforgiving heart!  Let it go and move on.  That is the road back to joy and when you do that the heavens are positioned to open over you and your most needed prayers will be answered!

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, I choose today to forgive every person who has done wrong toward me.  I forgive _______________________________.  I will no longer hold anything against them.  I ask You to bless them Lord.  Forgive me of those offenses  in my heart and I will not allow them in my mind anymore.  I thank You now that the heavens of blessing are open over my life and my prayers are being answered now!  In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Step out in faith ...

Daily prophetic word 
Demonstrations Are Here!
"I am waiting for you to not just talk about My power, but to demonstrate it," says the Spirit.  "Yes, step out in miracles, believe for signs and wonders in your life and in the lives of those you meet, and watch the display of My power.  For the demonstrations of God are here!"
 
Prophetic Scripture:
1 Corinthians 2:4 - And my speech and my preaching was not with the enticing words of men's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power.

Did you know that God wants to manifest His power for your situation?  He is just waiting for you to expect it and act like you believe that.  Often we talk about the power of God and how it was displayed so powerfully in the life of those in the Bible, historical figures, and in books.  But God didn't stop these demonstrations with the early church era, or even a few decades ago.  He manifests supernatural demonstrations because we are willing to step out on the edge and do something that causes Him to move.  I once heard someone say, "There is something about God that causes Him to pass by countless people to show Himself for that one who displays bold, unrelenting faith!"  Well, the Bible says in Hebrews 11:6, that we cannot even please Him unless we have faith.  True faith is expecting what you already know to be true, even when it isn't seen with the natural eyes.  God is real and manifests real miracles for those who will just step out on the water.  Go ahead and pray for that person to be healed.  Sow an offering and expect a breakthrough in your finances.  Do something that reveals your confidence in God to act on your behalf.  You don't have to wait and wonder if miracles will come.  The demonstrations of God are already here!  Just step out and watch the Lord display His power.  The more you do, the more you will see demonstrations of God in your life!

Prayer:

Father, I stir my bold faith today for the demonstrations of the Holy Spirit to operate in my life.  I believe for healing, revelation, deliverance, financial breakthrough, dreams, visions, and many wonders of Your power.  Teach me how to demonstrate that anointing and expect it to operate daily in my life.  Thank you Lord for Your anointing that rests upon me to work wonders.  I believe Your demonstrations of the Spirit are upon me today!  In Jesus' Name, Amen!

Greatness awaits...

Daily prophetic word 
Greatness is Increased
"Yes, it is in My will for you to step into greatness," says the Spirit.  "Know that I have opened that place of honor for you and the time to move toward it is now, even right now.  Go, for your increase of greatness has begun!"

Prophetic Scripture:
Psalm 71:21 – Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
God has specially designed a place for each of His children to stand in a place of honor and greatness.  Yes, greatness and honor are earned, however God will also anoint and cause it to rest upon your life.  God is the author of honor and He will see to it that you will receive due honor for your purity, lifestyle and commitment to His will.  It may take some time and hard work for you to step onto the platform of honor, but the key is to stay focused on what God has called you to do.  By staying with your calling and staying pointed on your road of destiny, greatness will find you.  The wonderful part is that God will comfort you along the road of hard work as you diligently move toward what He has for you.  Similar to a runner in a race, it takes diligence, practice, hard work, and endurance when no one is noticing you.  Then the honor and greatness of winning the race is only a moment compared to the private work and lifestyle it took to get there.  However, the greatness that God gives for your press of obedience will be the greatest reward you can receive.  Begin to press toward the greatness God has prepared for you and know that once you do, greatness will begin to open for you!  Move toward your season of greatness today!

Prayer:

Father, I receive Your place of destined honor for me.  I ask You Lord to help me as I press on the road toward Your will and destiny for my life.  Help me to walk in obedience and humility as I serve You.  Anoint me for greatness today and I thank You Lord that I shall be a great testimony unto Your mighty Name! In Jesus’ Name, AMEN.

My season of double fruitfulness...

Daily prophetic word 
Forget the Pain
"It is time to forget your season of toil and embrace your season of fruitfulness," says the Lord.  "For even as Joseph named his firstborn Manasseh, it was his declaration that he had forgotten his years of hardship and so must you declare that your years of struggle and toil are behind you now!" 

Prophetic Scripture:
Genesis 41:51-52 - And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh:  For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.  And the name of the second called he Ephraim:  for God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.

No matter what you have been through in life, God always has a plan to move you forward to a new chapter; a new beginning.  Whether the hardships of life came from your distant past or they just occurred yesterday, God is standing before you today, ready for you to put it behind you!  Let today be seen as a new season of fruitfulness in the spirit.  That is the best medicine for your healing from all hurts.  Notice in the verses above, when Joseph called his firstborn son Manasseh, he not only said that God had made him forget all his hardship and toil, but also all his father's house.  Why ALL his father's house?  That is because to him, the years he spent growing up held a lot of bad memories and hurts.  Maybe your upbringing was filled with similar memories and experiences.  Well, it's time to move from that place and open a new chapter in life.  It is your Ephraim chapter, your season of double fruitfulness! (Gen. 41:52) Even the negative of experience from this week will lose its ability to keep you down when you forget your hurts and struggles.  Put them out of your mind today, and dwell instead on the blessings of tomorrow and wonderful fruit God is producing in your life!

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You that today I give "spiritual birth" to Manasseh, by chosing to forget the hurts of yesterday.  I place my eyes on today and tommorrow.  I declare this is my season of  Ephraim.  I call this my season of double fruitfulness in the spirit!  I am blessed, I am healed and set free!  Thank You Jesus!  Amen!

Supernatural resources

Daily prophetic word 
Favor in Business
"Watch this day, for I will favor you in the sight of the world," says the Lord, "and I will place a spirit of increase over you and many people shall suddenly pour resources into your hands.  So that in all your business dealings, you will know that I have placed multiplied provisions over you!"

Prophetic Scripture:
Exodus 11:3 - And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians.  Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people.

Whenever God asks you to do something, He always provides the needed resources for you to accomplish the task at hand.  When God asked Moses to lead the people out of Egypt, He provided the needed resources for them to do so.  He didn't send them empty, but sent them fully supplied.  However, the unique part was the way in which the Lord supplied for them.  Notice he first caused them to receive favor from the Egyptians.  Think about the magnitude of what that entailed!  Here Moses has been threatening their leader Pharaoh for days, plagues were everywhere and the people were preparing to escape the country and they still found favor in the sight of the citizens of Egypt!  Talk about amazing!   In other words, God granted them favor when favor didn't seem possible.  Do you know that God wants to give you favor in your dealings too?  Even when it may seem like the economy is down or there are no openings for you to find a job.  God gives supernatural favor when favor seems hard to find!  Now that does not mean we have license to be rude or do things that will cause us to lose favor.  What it means is, that as we are obeying God and doing what is right, God will cause poeple to favor us, even when they didn't intend to do so.  Prosperity and increase begins with favor.  People give you things when it wasn't something they were planning or would even normally do!  Whatever business, talent, ministry or call you have been anointed for, your season of increase will come on the wings of God's favor.  Then you will be filled with more than you ever dreamed!

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, I activate my faith for unprecidented favor in all my business dealings today.  I declare new doors of opportunity and blessing will open unto me.  Rescources shall come into my hands in the most supernatural ways.  I expect favor to follow me everywhere I go today and I thank You Lord for anointing me for favor now.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!

His Glory...

Daily prophetic word 
Glory is Filling the House!
"Look now," says the Lord, "for the days when the weight of My glory shall fill your gatherings are being brought once again.  For in many places shall the cloud of My presence rest heavily among you to do signs and wonders, even in the houses of prayer once again!"

Prophetic Scripture:
2 Chronicles 5:13-14 - …then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord; So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.

So many Christians talk about wanting to experience the glory of God in their life.  God wants us to experience His manifested glory.  Ephesians 1:18, says we might know or experience the riches of His glory.  In the Bible, we always find this weighty glory from the Lord resting in places where the people were dedicated in worship and in prayer.  The context of the verse above was that the people were doing three main things when the glory of the Lord filled the place where they were gathered.  First, they were praying.  Prayer is paramount to experience true glory, both privately and corporately.  Secondly, they were giving God strong and unrestrained worship with their voices and instruments.  Then thirdly, they were making great sacrifices.  It wasn’t just one or two things being placed on the altar.  No, the number of sacrifices in this case was astounding!  We can make a place for God’s manifested glory to rest upon us by doing these same things.  Then we can be sure wherever His glory falls there will be blessings, signs, wonders, healing and miracles.  It will mean there will be times when we have to set aside our plans and spiritual agenda and let the Holy Spirit take over.  That is what the glory will do.  All we have to do is make room for it and then expect the glory of the Lord to fill the house!

Prayer:

Father, I thank You for Your glory.  Cause me to know and experience Your glory in my life.  I commit myself to prayer and sacrifice so that Your glory can rest on my house.  Help me enter into places of glory and I ask that You teach me how to handle the weightier things of Your Spirit with maturity.  Lord, let me walk in the glory You have for me today!  In Jesus’ Name, AMEN.
