Redemptively Impact Your Environment

It doesn’t take much awareness to notice all around us there is great need and a lot of KneadDoughhurting people. If our God is anything, He is Redeemer. His people will, therefore, bear His characteristics and likeness and they shall redemptively impact their environment and the people in it. May the people of God be like yeast growing in the dough and permeating arts and entertainment, business, education, family, government, media and religion. May we influence the present culture with the love, compassion, authority and wisdom of the rule of God. (Matt.13:33, GW)  “He used another illustration. “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman mixed into a large amount of flour until the yeast worked its way through all the dough.” We are praying you discover daily our Lord’s redeeming influence working through your life.

Our Lord’s Prayer Requests

PrayingForPeopleAs the people of God assemble today, may our Lord’s prayer requests be prayed by His people. May those things He desires on earth, in the lives of people be prayed in agreement with His heart and purposes.
“In this manner, therefore, pray:  Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.  10  Your kingdom come.  Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matt.6:9-10, NKJV)


 


When Water Acts Differently

Waterwall“I know the plans that I have for you, declares the LORD. They are plans for peace and not disaster, plans to give you a future filled with hope.” (Jer.29:11, GW) God’s plans for His own continue regardless of present circumstances. Consider: (1) Israel went through the bottom of the Red Sea on dry ground. The Red Sea, the water, was prevented from functioning like water. Though Israel was surrounded by water, it did not function like water where they were concerned. The same water (circumstances) functioned like water upon Pharaoh’s army but not on Israel (Cf.Ex.8:22-23;9:4,26;10:22-23;11:7;Isa.60:1-3). God Almighty caused water to act differently, He altered circumstances, because it was required to fulfill His promises and get His people to destiny.

Stepping Beyond Issues

WalkingthrucurtainAs the people of God assemble today, may the Lord enable them to step beyond issues that would otherwise hinder their hearing the truths of His Word. May issues not be considered or guarded as the Word of God is spoken. May those issues not be a screen that the Word has to get through before the Word can be considered for repentance and/or growth. May personal issues, and issues with others who are present in the meeting, take a back seat to the life and delivering power of the Word of God.

Psa 81:13 Oh, that My people would listen to Me, that Israel would walk in My ways!
Psa 81:14 Speedily then I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their adversaries. (Amp)


 


Hope Soaring

Hopesoaring
May you find your faith rising and your hope soaring as you discover
Mighty God doing the unexpected and accomplishing what you have
not even thought of that was needed in the equation for you to overcome.

”You have done amazing things ·we did not expect [beyond our expectations].
You came down, and the mountains trembled before you.” (Isa.64:3, EB)


 


Help to Draw the Net

Fishandnet
As the people of God assemble today, may they be infused with Holy Spirit power to be fruitful all the days ahead.  May vision and empowerment come to each one.  I pray that the fruit our Lord gives you and your church this year will be like the net the disciples had to call for help to draw in.  May there be such a bounty that the net would be near bursting with the catch. May your net be strong and hold.

“So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net to land, full of large fish, 153 of them; and[though] there were so many of them, the net was not torn.” (Jn.21:11, Amp)
