Faith for the Nations Again!
“Rebuild again the standard of prayer for your nation,” says the Lord. “Don’t be dismayed by seeming political troubles here and there or what some say will happen. I am looking for those who will stand for the nations again.”
Prophetic Scripture:
Isaiah 41:10-11 – Fear thou not; for I am with thee; be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing and they that strive with thee shall perish.
With all of the shaking that seems to be occurring around the world, we need to stay in the plan of God and use our prayer weapons like never before. When the world falls apart, it is time for the church to arise! Like Peter, it is challenging to keep our eyes on Jesus and away from the wind blowing all around us. Yet, we can rest in the above Scripture that God is strengthening us to stand in the spiritual fight. We can pray for our leaders, presidents and judges that they will also be used to turn our nation back to righteousness. Determine that you will stand in the gap for your nation and the nations of the world. We have been anointed for this time and we have nothing to fear for our God is with us!
Prayer:
I am lifting my sword of prayer afresh today for my nation. I place my eyes on the way of God before me. Lord, I thank You that I have nothing to fear for You are with me and my family and You are watching over me today. I call my nation a blessed nations and from it many will arise and seek the Lord and preach His Word. I send angels to cover my nation and protect it from evil today! In Jesus’ Name, AMEN.

A greater level of spiritual perception ...
Daily prophetic word
A Bull's Eye in the Spirit
“I am placing you in My quiver of arrows,” says the Lord. “Yes, you will speak today and your words will move like swords and hit the bulls-eye every time. I call you My sharp instrument that shall display My glory! ”
Prophetic Scripture:
Isaiah 49:2-3 – And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me; and said unto me, thou are my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.
We are in an hour when God is sharpening His church. We are being prepared and polished for God’s purpose all over the world. I see the Body of Christ stepping into its most powerful time. We have to use our faith for that! What has felt like efforts of hit and miss in the past will begin to hit the target. God wants to make you a sharp sword that will never miss its goal. We have all felt at times like we could have done things better haven’t we? Well, expect that to change for you starting now! Start by speaking prophetic words that have a direct purpose. Command things to come to pass, both in your life and calling. I believe it is going to get easier to hit a bulls-eye in the spirit every time. Prophecies will become more targeted, ministry will be more precise and your current efforts will supersede your previous ones as you speak them with your mouth. Expect the world to be impacted as you present a new level of precise ministry today!
Prayer:
Lord, I welcome a place in Your quiver of arrows. Send me to my generation as a sharp spiritual instrument. I believe I will see clearer than before and have a greater level of spiritual perception. Use me for Your purpose as I use my words today as arrows in the spirit! In Jesus’ Name, AMEN.

Who's report will you believe ...
Daily prophetic word
God's Report is in You!
The Lord says, “Receive My report and not that of another. For what I have said is the final word in you. Accept it, believe it and rejoice! ”
Prophetic Scripture:
Hebrews 11:1-2 – Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report.
Many “reports” come to us everyday. There are news reports, doctor reports, financial reports, school reports, war reports, legal reports and so many more. We see them and read them constantly. If we are not careful, all the reports we hear can affect our ability to believe the report of the Lord. How deep is the report of the Lord really in you? Someone said to me, as they were headed to the doctor’s office, “I am believing I will get a good report.” Well it is good to get a good doctor’s report, but the final report (God’s) should be settled in us before we head to the doctor. In the verses above it says that the elders obtained a good report by what they believed. Their circumstance may not have looked like a good report, but they obtained one anyway! Their faith possessed it. God’s report is good. Solidify it in you today! Let His report be the final word BEFORE you accept any other reports!
Prayer:
I stand today, my Father, in Your report. It is the final word. My faith accepts Your report as the truth over any other report. No matter what the world reports to me, I believe Your report supersedes it. I thank You that I can trust in that right now as an anchor to my soul.

Today give HIM thanks and honor
Eyes That Recognize
Matthew 13:16-17 But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.
We need eyes that see and ears that hear, that perceive and understand what God is doing. Having the ability to recognize the Lord's work in our midst enables us to give Him honor and thanks. If we cannot value what is going on, then we don't have a launching pad for thanksgiving.
A heart of thanksgiving is of utmost importance to see God move in our lives and in the lives of others. Thanksgiving opens the gate of Heaven and the gate of our hearts to receive His activity in our lives. Without the gate-opener of praise and thanksgiving, we are left in a place of stagnation. The river of God's life is dammed up because of our lack of appreciation for what He has done and is doing.
If we cannot think of the good things He has done in our lives we have been stolen from. We all have the gift of life. We all have the ability to connect with God and be filled with His presence. We all have the choice to choose Him. Just to have the ability to choose is one of the greatest gifts of all. We can choose to enter into His life through our own spiritual hunger. Being hungry for God will bring us into a place of life and thanksgiving and open up the gates of Heaven, making us truly a people who are blessed to be a blessing.
Receiving His Glory
Isaiah 12:2-3 Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; "For YAH, the LORD, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation. Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation."
When we see what God is doing we need to have a heart that can receive what He is doing that we may be the beneficiaries of what is happening. There is no striving in receiving from the Lord, but rather a laying down of our lives to receive His life.
There is a letting go of things that hinder so that we can lay hold of things eternal. Our own flesh tries to work to earn God's blessings but they are given to us because we cannot begin to pay the price. The price we pay is spiritual hunger. We become hungry and pursue the Lord, being transformed into the habitations of God.
The Holy Spirit is the distributor of all the goodness and gifts of God. When we learn to draw from the wells of the Holy Spirit, we are able to gain access to the unlimited treasures of His presence and life. He freely gives us all things that pertain to life and godliness.
We should desire to be "like God" in the context of being reflectors of His glorious face. We are to be imitators of Christ in all that He lived out before us in the earth, not just bearing the fruit of the Spirit but demonstrating the Kingdom of God in power.
Deeper Thanks Equals Deeper Glory
Psalm 140:13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks to Your name; the upright shall dwell in Your presence.
Being receptors of His glory and presence, we then should enter into deeper thanksgiving, higher praise and greater commitment to His heart. In remembering the works of God we more and more experience His works in our midst. The more we recognize what He is doing, the more He pours out. It is the recognition, not taking things lightly, that He continues doing what He does, and bringing it up a level continues to increase His activity in our lives.
Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness shall be filled.
The more we recognize what God is doing, the more we can enter into gratefulness and the more He will pour out because of thankful hearts! More Lord!

Expect to be blessed ...
Daily prophetic word
Rewarded with Good!
“Know that I think upon you for good," says the Lord. "All you do in righteousness shall be rewarded by My good gifts. So I say, watch and you will see a good thing that I will do for you this very day!”
Prophetic Scripture:
Nehemiah 5:19 – Think upon me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people. .
Over the years, I have discovered that life can make people feel bad about themselves. At times, it gets easy to remember all your failures and forget your accomplishments. Of course, we all know people who want everyone to know their accomplishments! Yet truthfully, deep inside, people usually struggle with their confidence in one area or another. More than that, we can feel less than worthy to expect God to bless us for doing what is right. Nehemiah was not afraid to boldly ask God to plan a good reward for him because he had worked hard for the people. If you have children, have you noticed that they expect rewards for perhaps cleaning their room or getting good grades at school? Children can think of many ways to cash in on a reward, believe me! God is our Father, and as His children we should not feel ashamed for expecting Him to bless us for obeying Him and working hard for His kingdom. God keeps track of your good work for Him. Use your faith and believe that He will reward you with His good today.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I know that you want to reward me with good. I thank You that I can be confident in Your goodwill toward me. I ask You to bring Your good rewards to me, for the work I have done in Your kingdom. You are my wonderful Father and I thank You for Your good reward today! In Jesus’ Name, AMEN.

Stay close to God
Release of Weights!
“For why do you carry the heavy burdens?” says the Lord. “And why do you hold onto the things that pull you down into fear and torment? Release those weights that hold and distract you that you might run free. For I have already delivered you from them.”
Prophetic Scripture:
Hebrews 12:1 - …let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
We can easily pick up and carry all sorts of things in life that the Lord never intended for us to carry around. Some of these burdens are carried in our minds as fears, pain, resentment and rejection. Other times they manifest as sins, choices, and outward distractions that simply pull us away from the Lord. We have to make a daily choice and commitment not to allow various weights to attach themselves to us. It is easy to make the excuse that we are carrying these things because of circumstances that are out of our control. Maybe someone hurt you or the financial pressure in your life caused you to become a workaholic until God was not on your list of priorities. The only way to happiness is to make a set choice that we will not allow weights and sins to pull us off track. The trick is to watch for them because they don’t always come noticeably. The enemy tries to attach them a little at a time until you wake up one day and feel like a pack camel. Then you ask yourself, “Where did all these burdens come from?” The way to stay free from them is to stay close to the Word of God. Jesus said that His yoke or burden was easy and light (Mt 11:29). It is much easier to stay at the feet of Jesus and learn His ways, than to be weighted down by the world. The closer to God we become, the lighter we will be, but the closer to the world we are, the more burdened down we will stay. Isn’t it time? Run to Him and release those weights that are holding you down today!
Prayer:
Father, I come to You in humility at this moment and I lay aside every weight in my life. I release them to You and ask that You help me to not retrieve them anymore. I repent of every sin, distraction and act of disobedience right now, please forgive me. I give myself into Your hands and I choose to walk in the lightness that only You can provide. Thank You Lord that I am light and burden free today! In Jesus’ Name, AMEN.

Hearing your Father's voice
Daily prophetic word
Instructions Made Clear
“For now I will make you to hear My specific instructions for your life. So I say: hear now what you could not hear before. Listen to the sweet whispers of My mouth,” says your Father. “Yes, you have it clearly, so be at peace and walk it out with ease!”
Prophetic Scripture:
Proverbs 4:1 – Hear ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
One time when I was asking God about how He would respond to something, He gave me a very powerful illustration. The Lord simply asked me how I would want to respond to my children. We sometimes forget that God is a good Father! God responds to us as a good father would. As a parent, you want your intentions and expectations to be clear. You also want your children to have a healthy balance of your love for them, mixed with good structure and sound discipline. You want them to experience a stable life with good values. God is no different; He wants all of His heart to be clear to you. Stop saying you don’t hear God or know His instructions for your life. Change your outlook. Perhaps you don’t think you see it, but begin with the small things you already know. Maybe the only thing you know to do with your future is to be consistent in prayer and the Bible. Begin there. When we follow the only direction we know, God is faithful to add to it. You have to make a choice to pay attention to God’s directions for you. Watch carefully for them. Believe that you can hear the loving instructions of your Heavenly Father today!
Prayer:
Father, I receive the voice of Your instructions for my life. Help me not only to open my ears, but help me respond to Your voice. I thank You that You are helping me hear right now and I welcome all Your plans for me. In Jesus’ Name, AMEN.
