IN DEBT to the Believer and the Unbeliever
"Both to Greeks and to barbarians
(to the cultured and the uncultured), both to the wise and to the foolish,
I have an obligation to discharge and a duty to perform and a debt to pay."
Romans 1:14 (Amp
)

Wait in Silence

"My soul waits in silence for God only
For my hope is from Him."
Psalm 62:5
Here I am, Lord. Here I am again. I've come to meet with You at the Mercy Seat. I've come to wait upon You. My soul waits in silence for You only. You alone are my hope and my salvation. You alone are my hearts desire. You alone do I seek. I wait upon You, Jesus, to see Your face, that I might truly know You and experience Your glory.
I thank You that my soul waits in silence for You alone. Deep calls unto deep.

We Are Desperate

"And there I will meet with you;
and from above the mercy seat, from between the two
cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony,
I will speak to you about all that I will give you in commandment
for the sons of Israel."
(Exodus 25:22)
As I hear and respond to Your Word, Father, I come to meet with You again at the mercy seat. I come to hear what You would say. I wait upon You once again. As I wait, and as I listen, I hear You say:
"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the Lord, "He is my refuge
and my fortress;
My God in whom I trust.
Surely He shall deliver you from the snare
of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence.
He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall find refuge.
His faithfulness is a shield and a bulwark."
(Psalm 91:1-4)
This is Your secret place, Lord. This is Your meeting place, this secret but revealed place upon the mercy seat, between the wings of the cherubim. It is where You have chosen to meet with us, the place where we will find refuge and protection. It's the place where You show us and remind us of Your ultimate and forgiving love, the life blood of Your Son poured out for us, the sacrificial Lamb of God, unblemished and without sin given for us so that we may be restored and redeemed back to You. You draw us, Father, to this secret place where You might find intimate communion with us. You draw us here to show us that this is where You operate from. You show us it's from mercy that Your heart and love are set upon.
O Father, we bring our families to this mercy seat. We bring our nation. We bring this world. We draw upon Your mercies for them. We draw upon Your forgiveness, upon the shed blood of Your Son Jesus. We draw upon the power of that blood to break the works of the enemy and turn their hearts back to You. You said, "Surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence." Surely You will do this as we stand in the gap for them and bring them to the mercy seat of Your forgiveness. Release Your mercy, Lord. We come boldly to Your throne of grace to receive mercy to obtain grace in our time of need. Surely You hear us and will respond. We need Your Spirit poured out upon us, Father. Without it we will surely perish. We are desperate, Father God. We are desperate! Come, open the flood gates of heaven and let it rain, let it rain, let it rain!

The Curse Has Been Broken

The blood has been poured out upon the Mercy Seat. The curse has been broken. The curse of poverty and lack, the curse of sickness and disease, the curse of addiction and oppression, they have all been broken by the shed blood of Jesus poured out upon the Mercy Seat, the blood of His sacrifice given in payment for our sin. We acknowledge this divine truth, this supernatural power that is hidden from the natural man but is revealed by the Spirit to the spiritual man. We embrace this truth and this gift and apply it to our lives and circumstances. We refuse to be governed by our circumstances that change daily, but will only be governed by the truth of the Word of God. The Word of God is truth and it remains. It never changes.

Lord, we thank You for Your blood. We thank You for the price You paid for our sins, the price You paid to redeem us back to the Father. We thank You for the power of Your blood, the power of Your Word and the Power of Your name. The name of Jesus is above every name. And we stand in Your name and we apply Your blood over our home, over our family, over our city and over our government and our nation. We break the power of the enemy, the power of every evil thing that is coming against us, and we release Your power, Your grace and Your mercy. We thank You for Your love, Father, and we receive the outpouring of Your Spirit and Your grace and Your blessing of prosperity and abundance in this hour. Amen and amen

"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law,
having become a curse for us."
(Galatians 3:13)

Meet Him at the Mercy Seat

"And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you
from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim
which are on the ark of the testimony, about everything which
I will give you in commandment to the children of Israel."
(Exodus 25: 22)
Lord, You said meet You at the mercy seat and You would speak with me there. Here I am, Lord. I come to meet with You here. I come to hear Your voice. I wait upon You.
I see on the mercy seat the blood that's been poured out, the price that's been paid, the blood of the Lamb that's been poured out upon the mercy seat as payment for my sins and the sins of all humanity, and I hear You say, "It is finished, the price has been paid." And I hear You sing in a mighty voice, "Now, open the flood gates of heaven, let it rain, let it rain. Open the flood gates of heaven, let it rain, let it rain."
Lord, I thank You for Your mercy. I thank You for Your blood and Your life that's been given and laid out for us. I thank You for Your grace that now flows out of heaven for us to receive, the unearned, unmerited favor and blessing of God. I thank You that we can't earn it, we can't be good enough for it, we can't even pray enough for it. It is truly a gift of Your love given to us. We receive it, Lord. We receive Your grace. We receive Your love. We receive Your mercy.
We position ourselves to just receive, Lord, to be recipients of Your great grace.
Lord, I receive this mercy and this grace, and I receive it for my life, for my family, for my church, for my city, for my nation and for this world. I receive it, Lord, and I draw upon it. I put a demand upon it and draw upon it for a great deposit in this desperate hour. I apply the blood and I receive Your grace. Amen

Blessed Is The Man

"How blessed is the man who does not walk
in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the path of the sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of the scoffers!
But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
And he will be like a tree firmly planted
by streams of water,
Which yield its fruit in its season,
And its leaf does not wither,
And in whatever he does, he prospers."
(Psalm 1:1-3)
Lord, I thank You that I choose daily to walk seperate from the attitude of the world and the wicked ways of its nature. I thank You that I choose daily to step out of the way of the one that has chosen to sin and disobey Your will and Your Word. And Lord, I thank You that I choose daily to not sit with the scoffer and entertain his thinking and attitudes, the one that would scoff You and Your Word, the one that would scoff Your gifts and say that they are not for today. I thank You that I choose to embrace all of You, all of Your gifts, and all that You have for me. I thank You that as I do this and as I meditate on Your Word night and day that I will be like a tree that is firmly planted by the waters of life, and that I will bear fruit in my season and that everything I put my hands to will prosper.
Lord, I thank You that You have given me the power and the ability create wealth so that You may establish Your covenant in me. I thank You that it is Your will that I prosper and that I'm in good health just as my soul prospers.
It IS Your will that I prosper, Lord. It IS Your will that I am empowered and anointed to create wealth. It IS Your will that I walk in divine health and that my soul and mind are healthy and full of life and positive attitude. So, Lord, I thank You that I choose to fill my mind and my mouth with Your Word. I choose to say what You say. I choose to think the way You think. I choose to walk with You and live in and through You. I seperate myself and consecrate myself to You that You will have Your way in me not only today, Lord, but everyday. Amen

The Divine Intersection

The divine intersection is the intersection of time when God's love and power intersect our prayer and faith. It's that intersection of time when the two collide and manifest the answer.
The Lord showed me that this divine intersection is that divine timing when our faith and perserverence meet the Author and Creator of the prayer and the prayer ceases to be a prayer but it becomes a manifestation and a testimony of His love.

Lord, I continue to walk this journey of faith, daily encouraged by Your love and mercy. I thank You for Your abundant grace and look with anticipation and expectation for the divine intersection of time when the prayers You have birthed in me become manifestations and testimonies of Your love. I thank You that Your mercies are new every morning and Your goodness and mercy shall surely follow me all the days of my life.

"For this purpose was the Son of God
manifest, to destroy the work of the devil."
(1 John 3:8)

Responding to the Nightwatch

Lord, I thank You that You wake me to partner with You in prayer for Your will to be done here on earth as it is in heaven. I thank You that as I respond to Your call that I become Your vessel to work through. I thank You that You have given me the gift of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues to aid me in my prayers. When I know not how to pray as I ought, the Spirit who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is and prays for the saints according to the perfect will of God. I thank You that You have shown me that when I pray in the Spirit that it's like praying Your pure Word over and into the situation. Your Word is like a hammer that shatters the rock, it pulverizes the rock and the mountain before me, the situation of difficulty and seeminly impossibilities that I am praying about. I thank You, Lord, that as I yield and respond to Your leading and activate this gift during my prayertime in the nightwatch that mighty kingdom work is being done, faith and prayer are literally moving mountains. What cannot be done in the natural IS being done in the Spirit, and You are using me and others that will respond to Your call during this powerful time of the night watch to be Your vessel and partner to move the mountain and let Your glory shine through.
I say, "Yes, Lord" I will rise and partner with You and be Your vessel. I will pray much in the Holy Spirit, with the attitude, the mind and the compassion of Christ, that the pureness of Your will shall be done here on earth and in this situation as it is in heaven, and that I will shatter the rock and the mountain of impossibility before me and see Your will be done and Your glory revealed. I thank You, Lord, that Your grace is being released and the mountain is becoming a plane. Hallelujah

"Is not My Word like fire?" declares the Lord,
"and like a hammer which shatters a rock."
(Jeremiah 23:29)

Activating the Supernatural

As I rise early to seek You, Lord, I pray much in the Holy Spirit, digging deep, breaking up the fallow ground. I dig deep to find Your heart. I dig deep to know the depths and heights of Your love. I want more, Lord. I need more. I will go further. I will dig deeper. I will break through the obstacles. I will break through the doubt and unbelief. I will break through the fear and insecurity. I will crucify my flesh. I will not let my flesh and old man have his way. I will crucify him through the cross in prayer, seeking You with all my heart.
I thank You for this supernatural prayer language You have given me, Lord. I thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit, that when I know not how to pray as I ought, the Spirit prays for me, the Spirit searches the heart and knows what the mind of the Spirit is and prays for the saints according to the perfect will of God. I thank You that when I activate this gift in faith that I cut right past my natural mind and thinking, and I enter into a supernatural stream of Your divine love, faith and wisdom. Thank You for this gift, Lord. Thank You for giving me such a powerful gift to activate the supernatural in my life. Thank You for giving me the faith to pick this gift up and activate it. Thank You that You have shown me when I receive and activate this gift that it opens the door for the other gifts to operate that You have given me to receive and use. These gifts are all supernatural gifts and they operate through faith. It takes faith to receive them and faith to activate and operate in them. So I believe in You, Jesus, I believe in these gifts and I believe that they are for me. I receive them and activate them by faith today, and I begin by praying much in the Holy Spirit.

"And in the same way the Spirit also helps our weaknesses;
for we do not know how to pray as we should, but
the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep
for words, and He who searches the hearts knows what
the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints
accordingto the will of God."
(Romans 8:26-27)

Draw Close to God

When we draw close to God, He draws close to us. When we seek Him with all of our heart, we find Him. When we pull away from our busy schedule and draw close to Him in prayer, seeking Him with all our heart, it honors Him, and He comes and makes His presence known and felt by us. He loves it when we do that, when we prioritize Him and push everything aside to be with Him.
I love You, Jesus, and draw away from everything to be with You today. You are the only one that satisfies and fulfills me. You are who I need and who I want. I invite You, Holy Spirit, to come and fill me and fill this room with Your presence right now. Come and have Your way in me today.
I take the inheritance that You have given me, Jesus, that is mine in Christ, and I give it to others in faith and in love. I purpose to destroy debt and lack in Your Bride. I purpose to destroy the works of the devil through the manifestation of Your love and grace.
I invite the people to come to Your table of blessing that You have set and prepared before us in the presence of our enemies. I enlighten them to what is before them, all the blessings and goodness of Your grace and mercy. I encourage them to partake of Your goodness and to receive Your grace gifts of love. I encourage them to step into their kingdom position and inheritance by receiving You into their heart. You gave Your life, Jesus, and shed Your blood in payment for our sins, canceling our debt and all the decrees that were hostile against us. You made a public display out of our enemy 2000 years ago and have come to manifest that display in our lives today. Your glory is being released and revealed in our lives this hour.
Thank You, Jesus, for Your love and faithfulness. You are AWESOME!
Amen

"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb
and by the word of their testimony."
(Rev. 12:11)

The Wonders of His Glory

There has been a reversal released, a reversal of the curse. I thank You, Lord, for the reverse released over my life from lack to abundance, from poverty to prosperity, from debt to debt-freedom. I thank You for Your blessing and favor upon my life. I give You all the glory and honor for all the increase. I thank You, Lord. I receive Your grace, Your unearned and unmerited favor, that I may be a blessing and advance the kingdom.
Now, Jesus, I surrender all and sink into the depths of Your love that I may know and see the wonders of Your glory. Amen

"And I will show wonders in the
heavens and in the earth."
(Joel 2:30)
