I heard the Lord say "I’m putting in you a fresh new
determination, new eyes to see the need, sensitive ears to listen to
my instructions, steady feet, and enthusiasm. Look in the mirror.
You are a warrior, not a wimp, you’re a tiger, not a turtle, with
fire and not fear. You are rich in resources. I’m stretching you,
expanding your influence, to gather my people in my Spirit."
Mary Ellen -
Revive thy work in the midst of the years.
Barbara - When I
first started to pray, everything was foggy and cloudy around me.
Then as I started praying everything began to lift. I continually
gave him everything that was bothering me. The Lord kept saying,
"Give me your problems." Saw his hands were out to me,
saying "Clean yourself up, giving everything to me." And
he took everything.
Rod - I felt
like I was being placed in a cave, I felt like it was really dark,
but I could see a light above me, God was telling me "This is
the world, you need to continue to look ahead, continue to keep your
eyes on me, and stay humble. Sirach 3:17-21. … "My son,
conduct your affairs with humility..."
Theresa - "Be
not afraid! I have overcome each and every obstacle. I am breaking
through! You can fly, you can run and not be weary, you can live! My
Blood put an end to your guilt and shame and failures. Appropriate
this word. It is my will that you will live. Do not shrivel in the
corner, stand up and live!"

Ciria, Fresno - I Thess 5:17 and
Isaiah 50:4 - Speak to me oh my Lord. Jesus is inviting us to live in
his presence and attend to this place in our hearts where he resides
just like he resided in the Ark of the Covenant. He is calling us to
lift up our voice to him and he will answer. Lord, in the morning you
will hear my voice; in the morning I will pray to you, and I will
watch for your answer (Psalms 5:3). Christ asked his disciples if
they would “watch” with him for one hour and we must watch and
pray. However, I want to respond and open my heart to receive
healing, strength and his will. The Lord is faithful and his mercies
endure forever. The great “I AM” is still and always will be, our
shepherd, and we are his sheep. God’s thoughts of us are
innumerable like the grains of sand on the seashore. There is joy in
his presence and at his right hand pleasures forevermore ( Psalms
16:11).
David - Fresno -
The scripture says to me that I shall abide continually in the
presence of God when I pray. My mind will be quieted and nourished as
he speaks to me. It is his Kingdom come and his will being done. He
inhabits the praise of his people. To pray is to put aside myself and
the cares of my life and be in his presence. He waits each day for
our communion with him. God’s will is revealed in prayer. His
direction for life is revealed in prayer. Prayer brings my flesh into
submission to his will. Prayer humbles me to depend on God and not
myself. To pray continually is to presence with God.
Maya - Fresno -
Pray continuously and we as followers—his sheep will not lose sight
of
Jesus and deny
him, like the Disciple Peter. We will recognize God and his Son if we
acknowledge them in prayer. We sheep are not wise enough to know
God’s plan like when Jesus said that he will destroy the temple
made with human hands and build a new temple made without hands. Also
when Jesus had a pre-destined death; this also explains why Satan
didn’t know that Jesus was the son of God because he didn’t pray,
so he didn’t know anything. Overall, God is listening more than the
carnal man wants to speak and God wants to speak more than the carnal
man wants to listen.
Bryanna - Fresno
- It is a good thing to communicate with the Lord constantly. He is a
constant friend. He is always there. We don't have to drive across
town to visit him. We don't have to pick up the phone. He is even
closer to us than our spouse. We don't have to shake him out of his
deep sleep in the middle of the night to talk to him. We should be
every bit as available to him as he is to us. Always ready,
anticipating and deeply desiring our next encounter with him. Indeed
his thoughts of us are vast (Psalm 139:17-18). Tenderly like the
mother he will not forget us (Isaiah 49: 15). This relationship
deserves our every thought, deepest respect and most intense passion.
Twyla - Fresno
-1Thes 5-11, this scripture is saying to me there has been a lack of
prayer in my life. I have done an inventory of my defects of
character that have affected my life and anxiety has been one of the
biggest problems. It comes to me just as breathing does. I took this
to the cross and asked for forgiveness for allowing anxiety to alter
my life and relationship with God. I turned, walked away and left it
there with him. Throughout the day without ceasing I had to continue
to pray and the anxiety would come out of nowhere. Lord I praise you
for removing this anxiety. I give it back to you. Keep me close to
your will lord. The Lord, my comforter, filled me with peace and a
clear mind to experience the true relationship with God. It is a true
miracle of healing. I'm committed to continue to pray and praise
throughout my day, to draw closer and trust his plan for me.
Melina - Fresno
- (1Thess 5:17 ) This scripture means to pray continually for a
fresh and holy cleansing in our hearts. This is to clear all thoughts
and focus on nothing else but him first and always while we do our
daily duties. The more we pray we will be filled with joy. Be aware
of just “saying” holy things without really praying. Use your
prayer time like how you would when you’re focusing
on a hobby. Pray with structure and in a pattern throughout your day.
Prayer is a private time for the relationship between with you and
the Lord. In 1Thess 5:22, it says, “abstain from every form of
evil”. So do not do anything or go anywhere were someone or
something would pull you away from your prayer time to calm your
heart and open your listening spirit. Learn from the sign that you
ponder on and ask him why this captures your attention. “Let the
Lord sanctify you completely as your whole spirit and soul and body
be kept blameless” (1Thess 5:23). This means, the Lord will declare
you holy, cleanse you and bless you. He will also help lift burdens
from troubles in your life and the reward is your patience, worship,
and commitment of love.
Martina - West
Virginia - I saw the prayer warriors lift their hands up in prayer,
Jesus blessed and anointed each one. "Jesus has chosen you, he
has called you by name, this gift is given to a handful of his chosen
flock, take this to heart, be devout, be reverent be faithful to his
calling, follow his precepts closely, do not disappoint him, love him
always. This world and it's empty promises are not for you, it is
not you who chose me but I who chose you."
Madeleine -
London UK - Matthew 5:44-45, "But I tell you love your enemies
and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your
Father in heaven.

If you shall all
but come to Me
And listen with
your heart
The love that I
am sending you
Is only just a
part
The strength you
feel within you
Shall never go
away
A gentle word I
give you
Each and every
day
Listen as I call
to you
And you shall
feel within
A peace and
comfort from above
Forgiving you of
your sins
So follow as you
hear My voice
And never go
astray
Just heed My
words and follow Me
Through each and
every day

following words from prayer group member: Isaiah 55:3
...come to Me

Jeremiah

your welfare, plans to give you a future of hope
Jeremiah 31:33-35
Tina -
Morgantown, WV - My people, it is beyond your wherewithal what will
take place in your lives because of your obedience to prayer. Joining
and being united in prayer each month is a commitment that each of
you made on behalf of my Son, Jesus. I am thou Father who art in
heaven. Hallowed be my name, Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on
earth as it is in heaven. Believe these words, my children, and know
that you are doing a mighty work for the Lord. Nothing goes unseen.
During the darkest hours and when things seem bleak, I am with you. I
carry you in the palm of My hand. Be of great faith and seek not that
of the world.
Prayer: Lord we
lift these words to you. We are in training as we learn to listen to
you. Let all that is from you take root and produce fruit. Let all
that is just from us, let it be washed away as we grow in the grace
and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
