Trust in the Lord!
If ever there was a time to put your trust in the Lord, the time is now! Prophetic events are occurring at an amazing pace and even for those trying to keep up with the latest happenings, it has been challenging. During these troublesome times — the likes of which we’ve never seen before — commit to trusting God in every area and circumstance in your life.
Many of you have walked with the Lord for a long time and have learned to trust God through very difficult trials. However, even devout and committed Christians are struggling now more than ever with thoughts of fear and apprehension about the future. We are witnessing horrific violence, unrest, threats of war, water and food shortages, apocalyptic weather patterns throughout the world, political upheavals, and earthquakes (to mention a few.)

Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem
Recently I spent time in the Lord’s presence seeking how to effectively pray for the Peace of Jerusalem. The Holy Spirit led me to pray these prayers that I am sharing with you.
We thank you, Father, for your everlasting love for Jerusalem and your faithfulness to her throughout the ages. You are her mighty Fortress and Deliverer.
Lord, according to your request in Psalm 122:6 – “6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee;” we pray for Jerusalem during such a time as this. We pray for the Peace of Jerusalem, safety and protection, shalom and wholeness, health and happiness, blessing and fullness, righteousness and holiness. According to Zechariah 2:12 — We pray that you yourself would be the Wall of Fire around about her and the glory in the midst of her, Lord of Hosts, Adonai Tzevaot. Continue reading
Happy Vs. Joy
My best friend was always telling me he just wanted to be happy. My response was happy depends on things that happen. In other words, happiness depends on the external things that happen to us. Joy is an internal thing and is not dependent on what is happening around and to us. So happy depends on the external things in our life. Joy, on the other hand depends on the internal things in our life. Continue reading
Praise Him!
In the Prayer Center, whenever we receive a call about an answer to prayer we fill out a praise report form. Many times we end up shouting and rejoicing with the person for the goodness of our God. It is always so encouraging to the prayer warriors to share the joy of someone’s breakthrough.
I have learned over the years a key principle regarding praise and here it is! Praise God even before you see the turnaround in a situation. Maintain an attitude of expectancy. And why can we do this? Because God is a promise keeper and His Word is true. Continue reading
Why Fast?
In Jesus’ teachings concerning the Beatitudes, which means “attitudes be,” He taught about many subjects in Chapters 5 and 6 of Matthew. In Chapter 6:16-18 He gave instructions on how to fast and its rewards.
Matthew 6:16-18 – “Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.” KJV Continue reading
