21 Days Of Engagement: Jan 3

Saturday, January 3, 2009

Jan 3

As I'm writing this, my phone went out, followed a few minutes later by the power going out. The enemy will always try to deter us from doing what we set out to do in God, giving us reasons to quit, abandon course. Fulfilling our purpose on the earth means that we climb over everything the enemy throws at us, keeping our eyes on Jesus and keep moving forward. Hebrews10:35-38 says "Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised." A large part of this 21 day time is learning to persevere under all circumstances....We all need endurance and perseverance to get to where we are called to go. This race God has us running in is a marathon with prizes along the way and a huge reward at the end.

Listening to God for 10 minutes or so could be as important as anything else we do in this 21 days......There are many noises, voices, demands and anxieties vying for our attention..Learning to quiet our soul is absolutely essential for us to hear heaven. Today is the first practice of that and though it is difficult, I encourage you to quiet your soul, cast all cares upon Him, receive His peace and "wait on the Lord." He will cause you to rise up like the eagle when we wait on Him...
While exercising, see what it's like to "pray without ceasing" by speaking in the spirit under your breath while walking, running, etc....Prayer will become like breathing to us over time....

You are awesome in HIM! Really.....Our confidence is beginning to grow in who He is in us. Poverty mindset take a hike. Inferiority complex and insecurity depart my life....In Him you live and move and exist.

As my friend Matthew Manigat says "I am keeping the faith, and the faith is keeping me."

"It's not how you start, but how you finish...let's finish well and watch this 5 minute video to encourage you to get up and keep going..."

As I read in Matthew 6 this morning and got to Jesus' words concerning our attitude during a fast, I heard the Spirit cheer us on. The concept was, "MorningStar Winston-Salem has just experienced its first corporate fast and with that unity, great power is released."

So expectant.

Okay - so did anyone else have a crazy experience with the Lord today - when we were waiting on him?....
I went hiking with the Lord up a mountain. Then we went flying in wingsuits - my suit was orange.:>) We landed in a jungle and used our swords to cut a path. Then the Lion of Judah licked my face & it tickled. All of the sudden I was floating through the air in a "prayer bubble". When I reached the sun, the bubble popped, I fell through the atmosphere and landed in the middle of a golden daisy... The Lord is crazy!!! Crazy fun!!!

I dreamed early this morning that I was trying to climb a steep path to a barn where I wanted to see newborn calves. My dog, Myles, was ahead of me and I depended on his help to pull me up the steep, somewhat snowy and slippery path to the barn. I looked behind me to make sure my children were follwing and they seemed to be doing fine on the path. I was grateful for my dog's help, or I could not have kept my momentum up the steep hill.

Any thoughts on this? I had to think the dog represented a friend...you know the saying that a dog is a man's best friend? We need our friends to encourage us when hard times come and we need that extra pull to get us to our destination.

A quick thought on Naomi's dream for what it is worth:
Myles may not just represent a friend, but provision. Myles is a retriever of Gold (Golden Retriever) that is leading you to a barn, which speaks of "storehouse" or "provision" also. The Calves also speak of provision - hamburger, prime rib, veal, etc. This dream seems to be an encouragement of God providing a guide who will go the extra "myle" to help you follow the path to provision for your family...

I am so glad we started this! Losing my mom this week would have been much harder without this to keep me focused and alive in my Spirit! It has been a huge help especially Friday - I could hear the Lord in so many small ways Friday, that I might have missed had I not been getting still and quiet with Him! He is good!

January 21

Great morning and hope you slept well. I know it feels like your stomach is eating itself by now. Tonight we eat and enjoy, and this will all be worth it. God is getting at things in us that normally wouldn’t be exposed. Let’s surrender to Him and let Him know how much we need Him in our lives. We are weak and pitiful without Him. See you this evening – MP

Commune: With juice, wine (if 21 or older) and bread (not a whole loaf, although you may want to), commune with Jesus and remember Him. Receive all that He has for you – all of His power and love. Exchange with Him. John 6, 1 Cor 11:23-26

Thanks: Spend 5 minutes or so thanking God. Not asking, just thanking Him. (e.g., Thank Him for all who are in authority over you, for difficulties, for discipline, for the nations, for Israel. Thank Him for the power of the resurrection, for food and provision, etc.)

Pray: Pray/speak/sing in the Spirit for 15 minutes (at one time).
+ Pray the Lord’s prayer in Matt 6: 9-13
+ For 5 minutes or so pray for the lost (unsaved relatives, co-workers, prisoners, people in our neighborhood, etc.)
+ Pray for a few minutes for the Jewish people, for Jerusalem and the nation of Israel (Ps 122:6).

Dance: Though your body may feel weak, worship with all of your might. Play a favorite song on some sort of audio player, close the blinds to the house, and dance with all of your might. Let loose. Repeat and go for it again. 2 Sam 6:14

Proclaim: Speak these verses OUTLOUD. Say them like you mean them. Engage your spirit in this:
II Cor 5:17, I Peter 1:3-4

Stand up and say this out loud (more than once if you want to):

“Jesus has given me everything pertaining to life and Godliness. I have been crucified with Jesus and I lack nothing in Him. I am a joint heir with Jesus. Through the currency of faith, I receive all that He has for me now. His power flows through my veins. Devil – I push you off of all the resources God has for me. I rebuke you and kick you off of the seed I have sown in the past. I remove you from my home, my health, my finances, my mind and my dreams. In Jesus name, be removed from the promises God has given to me and my family. My bloodline is cleansed and God is my inheritance and my portion and that portion is awesome. The prophetic promises God has given to me in the past are valid this today as invitations for me to step toward them. I will not dwell in the past, but in Jesus. The Kingdom of God is near and within me. Living water is flowing from my inner man to bring life to others. I am full of the Holy Spirit and the love of God.”

Wait/Listen: Wait on God without praying or straying for 10 minutes every day. Just listen and be still…Look and see…watch and wait….

Journal: Immediately after waiting, journal anything you heard, saw, felt, experienced. Remember to journal your night dreams and visions also.

Discover: Discover and learn more about Angels from the scriptures, what is their purpose, mission, etc.

Faith/Action: Build spiritual muscle of faith by doing the daily faith action.

Action: Ask God to place someone in our fellowship on your heart and ask God for a scripture and prophetic/encouraging word for them. Write it down and give it to them tonight or the next time you see them.

Read: Eat (Jer 15:16), digest and meditate on chapters:
Phil 1&2&3.

Fast: Continue fast from all criticism, all negativity about anyone. Fast from thinking/dwelling upon anything from the past that was hurtful.

I am no longer my own, but Jesus has purchased me and I am made in His image. My mind, body and spirit are His. I am no longer a slave to sin or fear or poverty thinking. I am not afraid any longer. I have been purchased by the living blood of Jesus and cleansed from all of my past. I have the mind of Jesus Christ.
The Holy Spirit Himself resides inside of me right now and my chest is His home address. All things are becoming new in my life. I am a daughter/son of the Father of love. I have no limitations in Christ. I can do everything that Jesus did and even greater things. I have full access to the Father through Jesus and I am seated in heaven right now with Him. I have a purpose to fulfill on this earth. Through Jesus I have been given authority over all of the power of the enemy. I hear the voice of God and I am an ambassador of His love to others on this earth. I am a New Covenant creature and I will follow Jesus today into every adventure He leads me into. He has a purpose for me to fulfill. I will love the unlovable through Jesus. I will see with His eyes. I will give away to others what He has given me. I will see the lost saved. I will see the dead raised. I will serve and obey the one I love and loved me first – Jesus. I am becoming the Lord’s best friend.”

Read, say these verses out loud, and receive them personally. Abide in the love of Jesus and your Father. Imagine them loving you. Ps 149:4, Jer 31:3, John 3:16, Rom 8:37-39

Worship: In your native tongue, worship the Lord for a few minutes with your voice. Feel free to play music to help.

Pray: Pray/speak/sing in the Spirit for 10 minutes (or so) continuously. Allow your spirit to pray in different ways, from warlike type of tongues to worshipful melodies. Push through when you feel like stopping. Notice how your tongue changes as the Holy Spirit leads you in different ways.
“But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith; praying in the Holy Spirit.” Jude 21
