Pray for my trip to New York

I am writing to covet your prayers for my ministry trip to New York tomorrow 12/03/09. I also want to let you know that I appreciate your being a partner in ministry. May God continue to bless you richly in Jesus Name! Enjoy the following power scriptures!

                                  Isaiah 40:8
"The word of our God stands forever."

"Let all those who...put their trust in You rejoice...because You...defend them; let those who love Your Name...be in high spirits" (Psalm 5:11AMP) "The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms; He will thrust out the enemy from before you" (Deut 33:27 NKJV) "The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and knoweth them that trust in him" (Na 1:7) "Fear not...for I am with you...I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will hold you up...with my [victorious] right hand" (Isa 41:10) "You protect them by your presence from what people plan against them. You shelter them from evil" (Psalm 31:20 NCV) 'Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever" (Psalm 23:6 NLT) "The Lord stood at my side and gave me strength...The Lord will rescue me from every evil attach and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom" (2Tim 4:17-18 NIV) "Those who know your name will trust in You, for You, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you" (Psalm 9:10 NIV) "This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness" (Lam 3:21-23 NKJV) "I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety" (Psalm 4:8 NIV).

Daniel-the man of Dedication

DANIEL 6: 1-28

No one lives for God without being persecuted. No one lives for God without being misunderstood and criticized. A simple formula for a successful Christian life is: (1) Dedication, (2) Devotion, (3) Discipline, (4) Determination. Daniel had all these.

Daniels disposition (verse 1-5)
a. Preference (verse 1-3). He was chosen above others because of his excellent spirit. He pleased God.
b. Perfection 9verse 4,5). Not sinless perfection-he pleased God in his living (Matthew 5:48)

His difficulty (verse 6-9)
a. The scheme. If anyone obeyed or served any other king, he would come to all who live for God (2 Timothy 3:12).
b. The signing. The king, not fully understanding the motive behind the plan, signed his name. The order could not be changed. Stop praying or face the lions? What a choice. I just want to water your apetite. Check out subsequent series on Daniel for more on this amazing man of God.

Blessings of Grace!

Romans 4:16 For this reason it is by faith, that it might be in accordance with grace, in order that the promise may be certain to all the descendants, not only to those of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the Father of all.
2 Timothy 2:9-you are called with a holy calling, according to His purpose and grace before the foundation of the world.
Faith does not move God, God is already moved. Faith puts you in a position to receive what God has given by grace...
Galatians 3:8-And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "All the nations shall be blessed in you."
Acts 4:33-and with great power the apostles were giving witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and abundant grace was upon them all.

Titus 2:11-For grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men. Amazing Grace, how sweet!

The Goal Line!

If God's people will see nothing but the goal line, will accept nothing but victory, will pay any price, will suffer any hurt and hardship, will refuse to be discouraged or disheartened, we cannot help but win; because we are charged with the power of God's Holy Spirit. There are somethings money will do;  there are some things human effort will do; there are some things human ingenuity will do; but there are some things only God can do. I want to remind you that no one ever achieved greatness without human opposition. We need people today who will say, "We can, we must, we will!" Are you ready to be one of such people? The overcomer is one who is knocked down nine times, but gets up ten. It is not the boulders ahead of us that wear us down. It is often the grain of sand in our shoe. God never puts more on us than He puts in us to bear up every burden. There are far more valleys than mountain tops in the Christian life. God sends us two bad days every good day in order to keep us looking towards Him. God has a vision for you. Don't ever quit. Let your vision become an obsessive reality.

You Shall Not Die!

God wants you to live a long, good life. Lots of people live long lives and you will be one of them. But remember that the only way to live a HAPPY life is by living for God. God will be there for you when you are in trouble. If you love God and obey Him, then you can call on His NAME and He will answer you. What an honor to be a child of God? Because you love God, and you are His friend, He will take away evil from you. He will allow you to sit with Him up on High. It is fun when our Daddy, the ALMIGHTY GOD lifts  us on high and carries us in His hands. God will lift you on high, Amen! When the devil tries to scare you, and comes like a mean, old lion or an ugly snake, or a wicked dragon, when you're afraid, declare the Name of the Lord that is a strong tower, where the righteous runs into and is saved. We love you at AMAZING GRACE and keep up the faith. You are more than conqueror!

"Submit to God. Resist the devil." James 4:7 NKJV

When it comes to temptation, remeber these seven things: (1) Never say "never." You never become so spiritual that you're immune. "No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able , but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it" (1Cor 10:13 NKJV). (2) Realize you can stumble on the last lap. Because you haven't blown it yet, doesn't mean you can't. Satan is a master of timing, and he's in no particular hurry. (3) Acknowledge your basic drives. St. Augustine said, "There is nothing more powerful in bringing more power in bringing down the spirit of a man than the caresses of a woman." YOUR FLESH IS POWERFUL; ONCE INDULGED IT WILL ALWAYS WANT MORE. (4) Understand that you are responsible.Sin is a choice. When you choose to abuse God's grace you pay the price, either now or later. 'Do not be deceived...whatever a man sows, that he will also reap" Gal 6:7 NKJV). (5) You're not a helpless pawn.You may not be able to change what happened yesterday, but your choice, empowered by God's grace, will determine what happens today and tomorrow. (6) If you've sinned there's hope. God will forgive you and use you again. Jesus told Peter, " I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, srengthen your brethren" (Lk 22: 32 NKJV). (7) Stay safe by staying close to God. "Submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you."

ENCOURAGEMENT TO PRAY

Here I am in my hotel room in New Jersy and God put it in my heart to write to you about prayer. I am offering you prayer as a way to grow and develop a regular relationship with God. Communion with God is the one need of the soul beyond all other need: prayer is the beginning of that communion, some need in your life creates the motive for that urge to pray. Payer is talking to God. I've contemplatively prayed. I've prayed lithurgically. I've interceded and petitioned. The first model of prayer I learned as a new believer was ACTS: ADORATION, CONFESSION, THANKSGIVING, SUPPLICATION. I've prayed in various ways and has seen God work many miracles. I pray you experience miracle each time you pray in Jesus Name! Whenever you pray, present yourself to God without pretense. Be a real person in your relationship with God. Tell Him whatever is going on in your life sincerely. Attend to how you are thinking of God. Again, no pretending. Purge yourself of anything blocking your relationship with God. Approach God as the first thing in your life. May God bless you and keep praying without ceasing. 

I will be here in New Jersy for three days ministering and please keep me in your prayers. God bless you.

Shoes for orphans

Beloved,

As you read this, I pray that the Lord will bless you abundantly in Jesus Name. The Lord has put a big burden in my heart to collect, purchase and send shoes to orphans in Africa. This burden was birthed in my heart few months ago as I was distributing educational supplies to school children during my trip as I have always done in 8 years. For some reason, the Lord directed my attention to the children as they all lined up during the distribution of the educational supplies. Guess what I saw! I saw that almost 90% of them were not wearing any shoes. My heart was broken as I looked at their worn out, cracked tiny feet, as they ran around in jubilation that I brought them pens, pencils, erasers, sharpeners, books etc. Here the Lord was opening my eyes to see a greater need. Can you partner with me to send shoes to these children in the African schools, Orphanages and Motherless Babies Homes? I am requesting that you buy the shoes up to sizes 6. I am buying shoes beginning from 3 months old to 12-14 years old. If you cannot buy the shoes, please feel free to mail us a check or money order to:
BRIGHT COMPASSION CENTER
P.O.BOX 822562
DALLAS, TX 75382.

You can also give through our website http://www.amgrace.org/ using your credit card. We will use the money you donate to purchase these shoes and take to Africa, and best of all presently distribute ourselves. No amount is too big or too small. As you support our cause to make a difference in the lives of these kids, God will reward you greatly.

He Knows You!

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." Jeremiah 29:11

I knew you before time began. I know how many hairs are on your head. Like parent, like child, you are created in My image. I have plans for you. I've also given you the 'gifts' needed to fulfill them: and I what I give, nobody can take away. But don't neglect them: exercise them, and stir them up daily. Rest assured, I've started a good work in you and I'm going to finish it. I always complete what I begin. My word concerning you is forever settled, and My commitment to you is unending. In this life you will have challenges, but cheer up: I've robbed Satan of his power to control you and the world of its power to destroy you. When you're stressed out and worn down by pressures of life, lean on Me. I will be your rock, your fortress, your deliverer and your srength. Even though you fall from time to time, you won't be discarded because I am upholding you. But a word of caution: don't take advice from those who are spiritually blind and don't hang out with skeptics. Delight yourself in My Word and like a big oak tree growing by a river, you'll prosper in all you do.

God's Divine Healing Power!

A new wave of God's divine healing and anointing has been released upon the Body of Christ! As I was preaching in Europe last few months, God showed me that waves of His divine healing power, like mighty waves of the ocean, were going to sweep over the Body of Chrsit and engulf us. God spoke to me and said, "Son, I am going to heal my Church." God revealed to me that this wave of God's healing power was not going to be a 'surface" healing, but that it was going to be a DEEP HEALING. There is a five fold prophecy from God on His power that is being released.


1.We are in God's Endtime Harvesttime, and God gave us a promise that a NEW STRENGTH is coming into the body of Christ. God is going to cleanse and bring His church to a new position of FULL, COMPLETE WHOLENESS...spirit...soul...body!


2. It is God's time now for the church to be healed!


3. A new authority and a new power over all the power of the enemy is coming to God's people! The weak that have been struggling to overcome temptation and sin in their lives are going to become spiritually strong!


4. Many who are crippled, bound by pain, physically diseased...cancers, blood conditions, diabetes, heart diseases, AIDS...are going to rise off beds of affliction. This will be a sovereign act or work of God.


5. The true Body of Christ will rise from its current weak condition to become a powerful endtime Army, motivated and empowered by the Holy Spirit to fulfill God's purposes.

How Amazing to be at Amazing Grace

Do you know that God never intended Christians to be the poor of this world but a testimony of His blessing. Your character will open doors of success for you. God doesn't commit to talent He commits to character. Always discipline yourself before you do others. Remember that you need to pray without ceasing for what is gained by prayer must be maintained by prayer. The essence of prayer is a personal relationship between a believer and God.

The choice of the Disciples

Jesus disciples were criticized for their lack of manners. Did you know that? Specifically, they failed to wash their hands before eating. Now, today, this would be considered poor hygiene. In Jesus' time, it was considered poor religion. The Jewish ritual of that day was to ceremonially cleanse oneself before eating meals. Isn'nt it interesting, how many of the practices of the law have turned out to be beneficial? These disciples were chosen not out of their super intelligence or accomplishments. But rather, Jesus saw possibilities in them that those who criticized them did not see. Jesus decided to turn this into a teaching opportunity. You have been chosen and no man can take that away from you. You may not be perfect but you are God's child and that is what matters.

Prayer for Breakthrough!

Say this prayer with me: I testify to Satan and his host as to what the Word says the blood of Jesus does for me. Through the blood of Jesus, I am redeemed out of the hand of the devil. Through the blood of Jesus, all my sins are forgiven. The blood of Jesus Christ, God's son, continually cleanses me from all sin. Through the blood of Jesus, I am sanctified, made righteous, just-as-if-I'd never sinned. Through the blood of Jesus, I am sanctified, made holy, set apart to God. My body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, redeemed, cleansed by the blood of Jesus. Satan has no place in me, no power over me, through the blood of Jesus! I have overcome satan by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of my testimony and I love not my life even unto death. Rev.12:11. I present my body, a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God which is my reasonable service. I do not conform to this world but I am transformed by the renewing of my mind that I may prove what is good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Rom. 12:1-2. May the Lord grant you the desires of your heart, order your steps and cause His face to shine upon you. Amen.

The Power of Intercession

United prayer has more to do with heart attitudes than mass movements. Sanctified hearts, fervent prayers together, attract the presence of God. When we pray in specific terms, we begin to see a dramatic loosening of the enemy's stronghold on our lives. "Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against...spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Eph 6:12 God never leaves His people without hope. He always provides the resources that are necessary to meet the challenges at hand.  Intercessors can collect valuable information through the discipline of waiting on God. The focal point of our prayers should be God, not the devil. I encourage you to pray without ceasing. May the Almighty God continue to lead your life because if God is not leading your life, then somebody else is. Apart from God, we can do absolutely nothing. We need to be focused in our pursuit of the presence of God because pursuit is the evidence of our desire for God. The only way we can overcome is through praying-praying for one another, and asking God to give us victory over all the powers of the enemy.

The Great Promise

Nothing can be more certain than the promises of God himself. All the promises of our covenant God are ours to have and to hold as our personal possession. I like in my time of trouble to find a promise which exactly fits my need. The strength of prayer lies in your faith in the promise which you have pleaded before the Lord. We ourselves are living witnesses that God does not forget His word. God gives good things to men according to His promise. This is a matter of fact and a not a mere opinion of mine. We must not measure God by the rule of our feelings. In Christ we have continual peace under trials. The things promised in the covenant are already the property of the believers. No man comes to the Faithful Promiser but by Jesus Christ. We are without life, without light, without hope, and without peace if we are without God. Freely according to the riches of His grace, God promises salvation and eternal life to all who believe in His son Jesus Christ. If men loved good works as much as they pretend to do, they would love the faith which produces them.None can enter heaven who claim it by their own doings or boast that they have won it by their own stength. Glory is reserved for those who are saved by grace, and none who trust in self can enter there.

What Do You Do When You Can't Do Anything?

Have you ever felt you were in a situation where there was no way out? Circumstances of life sometimes seem to bring us to a dead-end street. When it seems there is no way out, God can make a way.

Israel at the Red Sea (Exodus 14:21)
The Israelites were there because God put them there (verse 2)
Solution: "Lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand" (verse 16, KJV). Today, God want you to stretch out. Stand and see further afar off. You are approaching your destination. Just one more step. Lifted hands mean many things--supplication, praise, surrender, authority. Some say "Throw up our hands." God says, "Lift up your hands." If God put you there, move forward in Him.

Jonah in the belly of the fish (Jonah 2:1-10)
Jonah was there because he put himself there.
Solution: Lifted up his voice in prayer of supplication (2:9). William Cowper tried suicide nine times before he wrote, "There is a fountain filled with the blood drawn from Immanuel's veins, and sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains." You may be in a situation of rebellion against God. You have gotten yourself in a place that seems a dead-end  street. There is a way out: a prayer of surrender.

Paul and Silas in the Philippian jail (Acts 16:22-24)
Paul and Silas were there because the world put them there.
Solution: Voices lifted in praise (verses 25,26). The world may try to shut you up or shut you in, but lift up your voice in praise to God who reigns on high.

CONCLUSSION
You may  be in difficulty because (1) God put you there; (2) you put yourself there; (3) the world put you there. Way out: (1) Lift up your hands; (2) lift up your voice in prayer; (3) lift up a song of praise. Inthe world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world" (John 16: 33, KJV).

Forgive and Be Fervent in the Love of God

Most things that come against us are little anthills. But the devil wants us to dwell on them. And when we dwell on them day after day, those little anthills become mountains that we made. Sometimes we don't control our emotions or our thought life. We take the bait of offence, we won't let go, and we become victims of the devil. Unforgiveness is not a luxury that you can afford to have!

If you've got unforgiveness toward anyone, repent and pray for the one who has offended you. Be fervent in the love of God. Pray in the Holy Ghost-let that river of life rise up within you-and you'll be able to resist the devil. You'll be able to resist the offence, your life will get better, and people around you will be attracted to you because you're full of love and life of God.
