Counsel For Living #1

PrayForOneAnotherCounsel For Living #1—In keeping with Paul’s instruction for disciples’ every day living in Ephesians Chapter Six, let us pray every day and in every situation in the Spirit and let us use every kind of prayer. We must know how to pray in particular situations. Simon Purvis lists some of the prayers we should be praying: 1) Prayer of Thanksgiving, 2) Prayer of Petition, 3) Prayer of Agreement, 4) Prayer of Authority and 5) the Prayer of Perseverance.

“Pray in the Spirit in every situation. Use every kind of prayer and request there is.
For the same reason be alert. Use every kind of effort and make every kind of
request for all of God’s people.” (Eph.6:18, Amp)

God Will Fulfill His Purpose

BreakthroughwallLying demons have come too late to tell you, God doesn’t care. Scoffing spirits have come too late to use religious people to convince you that God will not fulfill His purpose in you. People cannot keep you from fulfilling God’s purpose, no matter how adverse their personalities. Circumstances (no matter how dark and oppressive) cannot keep God from bringing you to purpose. Joseph, David and Daniel prove both points. People put Joseph and David and Daniel in impossible positions to work with. Circumstances degraded them, threatening not only purpose but their very lives. You know the Word of God and “they” have come too late to convince you that opposition and the delay of time mean God hasn’t put purpose in you that will be fulfilled.

Indivisible With Liberty

Flaghandspray
May God most high have mercy and help our “one nation under God”
that it stand “indivisible with liberty and justice”. May those who seek
the hurt and seek to destroy life and liberty in our great nation be
ashamed and humiliated and may they be turned back in defeat.

“Let those be ashamed and humiliated together who seek my life to
destroy it; Let those be turned back [in defeat] and dishonored
who delight in my hurt.” (Ps.40:14, Amp)

Lines Falling in Pleasant Places

Fenceline
This is the day the Lord has made so…

I will rejoice because the Lord has caused the lines to
fall for me in pleasant places, I have a good heritage and
He is working by His Word and His Spirit to deliver me
from the limitations of any negative portions of my heritage.

“The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Yes, I have a good inheritance.” (Ps.16:6)

Recipients and Dispensers


As the people of God assemble today, may they rejoice as recipients and dispensers of the New Covenant of the shed blood of JESUS and its bounteous benefits and may they breathe in deeply the awesome life of the Holy Spirit.

“[It is He] Who has qualified us [making us to be fit and worthy and sufficient] as ministers and dispensers of a new covenant [of salvation through Christ], not [ministers] of the letter (of legally written code) but of the Spirit; for the code [of the Law] kills, but the [Holy] Spirit makes alive.” (2Cor.3:6, Amp)

Your Home #27


Your Home #27—May you and your loved ones make plans in
your home for your family and your future and may the Lord
work wondrously to bring those good things to you for the joy
of your family and the glory of His name.

”By his wicked plan an evil man is trapped, But the righteous
man sings and rejoices [for his plan brings good
things to him].” (Prov.29:6, Amp)

Lean Into the Curve

RoadcurvelightsThere are those who become focused on their own disappointments and aren’t able to see that God is powerfully at work in the world today. One day in South America an atheistic, antagonistic city absolutely refuses to allow a Gospel evangelist to even set foot within the city limits. One day later the entire city is on its knees accepting Jesus Christ as Savior. (Charisma Magazine)
In one city in Central America so many people have been delivered from demon possession and so many have been delivered from mental disorders that the church there is called “The Crazy Church.”
Instead of sitting back and merely counting on tried and true ways and trusty rusty old institutions, God, help us lean forward with anticipation and ride that exponential curve with the Holy Spirit.
