I took a survey and found out that there were many prophecies from various churches for 2012!   However, they had a common thread…God wants the best for His people and it’s time.

But, unlike the free chicken fiasco held by a popular franchise last year  (in my opinion); God’s got a very clear set of rules.  The rules are simple…those that look to him and operate in the things of God will flow in the Blessings…those that do not won’t.

So what needs to be done by the people who just aren’t clear?   I’d start with a Praise life…with a Worship life…with a Thanksgiving life…with a prayer life.  It will not happen over night, but over time you will be a pro and right where you want to be.  I believe this year, if you will make quiet time for God…He will accelerate things for you in amazing ways…He is amazing!

You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.  Jeremiah 29:13

And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”  Luke 10:  27

In Jesus’ name I pray that You may give me the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that I may know You better.

I pray also that the eyes of my heart may be enlightened in order that I may know the hope to which You have called Me, the riches of Your glorious inheritance in the saints, and Your incomparably great power for us who believe.

 That power is like the working of Your mighty strength, with which You exerted in Christ when You raised Him from the dead and seated Him at Your right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 

Also, for this reason I come before You Father, from whom Your whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name; That out of Your glorious riches You would strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that Christ may dwell in my heart through faith.

And I pray that I, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that I may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of You, Lord.

Father, You are able to do immeasurably more than any and all us believers could ever ask or imagine, according to Your power that is at work within us who believe, Father, let there be glory to You in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen

“Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.”
2 Corinthians 9:10

Last night I learned a big big lesson.  Some things which had been overlooked came to a head.  When the dust settled; I was angry.   I wasn’t angry at God…or any person.  I was angry at myself and the devil.  Because I had glossed over things and not dealing truly with the problems, in fact, they had not gone away.

I was too disgusted to pray!   I had never been that way.  If only I could praise I would feel better, but the truth is…I did not think of that!

I decided to write out a Prayer Of Petition.  You see, a while ago I had ordered Jerry Savelle‘s Book The Prayer Of Petition and I had even read it, but it “looked” like too much work.

It was time for me to put this matter on the altar and write out a brief and present it to God.  I decided to do this BEFORE I prayed!  I had a lot on my heart.  It took two and a half hours!  Oh my goodness!   But, when I finished…I had a solid foundation and a renewed confidence that God would solve everything!  I was no longer angry.

My final petition printed out was 9 pages long!  In the end…there was a lot of Thanksgiving!   When I prayed…God assured me that Everything Was Going To Be Allright!   That was the prophecy that our Bishop Keith A. Butler and the  Prophet of God, Kenneth Copeland…both whom I adore greatly and I have not said that enough! 

 

 

Isaiah 30:21 says, “And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This [is] the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

Yesterday, I had a directive from my heart to attend a training meeting that I was invited to.  As soon as I found out that I had overslept I immediately began to rationalize my not going.  I heard a really small voice say:  “Press your way.”    ” Okay Lord, I will.”  I replied.

So, I went to the meeting.  I went to the meeting and I kept wondering why the Lord wanted me to go?   I arrived and I knew nobody, this did not bother me at all because  lately I’ve managed to mesh into the background very well and have found some comfort there.  (It’s a humility role)

 

At the meeting, I made a new friend; a believer and as I spoke to them; I truly believe the Lord was using me when I spoke.   I’m so glad that I made this friend because they have expertise and training in areas that I need tio know about.  That’s Divine!!

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

“Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.” (Matthew 24:42)

 

COMMENT: It doesn’t matter what political stripe you may have but most Americans realize that it doesn’t make any sense to set a date that the United States will pull out of Afghanistan because all the terrorists would have to do is sit back and wait until after that date and then get into action. I believe that our Heavenly Father, in His infinite wisdom, decided not to tell us the exact date when Jesus was coming back. Can’t you just picture it in your mind’s eye? Many people would be “doing their own thing” right up until the “due date” and then, all of a sudden, they would repent and become “holier than thou”. Amos 4:12 exhorts us to “prepare to meet your God.”  I’m not trying to be morbid, just spiritually realistic. Remember the farmer in “The Parable of the Rich Fool“, Luke 12:16 – 21.  He was busy building bigger and better barns to store his crops, but that day was his last day on earth. I suggest that each morning we purpose to treat that day as, possibly, the last day of our lives. That way we will have the tendency to walk more closely to the Lord each and every day that “we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.” (1 John 2:28)

Years ago, as a teacher, I taught American History, but Deborah really opened my eyes to many wonderful facts about our Country. Please go to:

I guarantee you that you will be enthralled by this masterpiece.
