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
)

Holy Spirit Fall Fresh On Me

"Come Holy Spirit, fall afresh on me.
Fill me with Your power, satisfy my need.
Only You can make me whole, give me strength
and make me grow.
Come Holy Spirit, fall afresh on me."

Come Holy Spirit. I need a fresh outpouring of Your Spirit. I need You more today than ever before. More of You, Lord. More love, more power, more of You in my life. Come Holy Spirit, fall fresh on me.

It's In His Presence

"In Your presence, that's where I am strong,
In Your presence, O Lord, my God.
In Your presence, that's where I belong,
Seeking Your face,
Touching Your grace,
In the cleft of the Rock."

This song sings and speaks so much of my heart.
It's in Your presence, Lord, that I find my strength. It's in Your presence that I'm able to touch Your grace, and I that can see Your face. It's in Your presence, Lord.
This is where I belong. This is where I long for. Nothing can substitute Your touch and Your presence. It's precious to me, Lord. And as I move forward in You, Lord, keep me in the cleft of the Rock. Keep me tight within Your grasp. Keep my eyes and my gazed focused on Your face, that I may reflect Your glory and Your grace. O Lord, it's in Your presence that I am strong in You, that I can conquer and overcome every obstacle, that I can be who You've called me to be. It's in Your presence, Lord.
I guard that place in You. I protect it and I prioritize it. I am jealous after it, Lord, just as You are jealous after me. Your love for me and my love for You is expressed and exchanged in this hiding place in the cleft of the Rock. You are my Rock. You are my Redeemer. You are my Deliverer, the Lover of my soul. You are my all in all. Keep me hidden in You, Lord. Keep me in that cleft of the Rock, in Your presence where I belong. Amen

It's All His

"The earth is the Lord's
and all its fullness."
Psalm 24:1

The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof.  It all belongs to You, God.  We take our stand on the land of our inheritance - our home and our church.  We stake claim on that land for the You, God.  We stake claim on it, and we will not be moved in Jesus name.
"The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine," declares the Lord.
Haggai 2:8
You, Lord, are drawing the silver and the gold of this world into the Kingdom for Your Kingdom purposes. We partner with You and claim it and draw it into the Kingdom for this last-hour Kingdom work in the harvesting of souls.
"The wealth of the wicked is laid up for the righteous."  
Proverbs 13:22
We ARE the rightousness of God IN Christ Jesus. We take our position in You, Lord, and receive Your rightousness, and we receive and take hold of the wealth of the wicked in Your name.  We draw upon it and bring it into this land, this earth that we stand on IN Your name.  We draw upon and command the wealth of the wicked and the silver and gold to come to the house of God where it belongs, where Your presence dwells.

Come Kingdom of God.  Be done will of God, here in my life, in our family, in our church in this region as it is in heaven. Come and be glorified through the transference of wealth of the wicked to the righteous.  We do not shrink back, but we take hold of our position in Christ, and draw upon the blessing of our inheritance in Jesus name. Lord, You respond to our faith and our prayers. You search our hearts and purify our motives that Your will may be done in our lives, that Your Kingdom would come, and that You would receive all the glory. Your eyes are searching to and fro across the earth to strongly support those whose heart is completely Yours. It's all for You, Lord. It's all for You.  Amen and amen

Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say So

"Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy."
Psalm 107:2

I thank You, Lord, that You are my Redeemer, my Healer and my Deliverer. I thank You that You have redeemed me from the pit of lack and debt and poverty, and You have set my feet upon the Rock of my Redeemer. I thank You that You have redeemed me from the curse of the law, having become a curse for me, for it is written, "Cursed is everyone that hands on a tree." I thank You that You did this so that the blessing of Abraham might come upon me through the life given for me in Christ Jesus. I thank You for Your life that was laid down for me, Jesus, for the blood that You shed for my sins so that I may be redeemed back to my Father in heaven. I thank You that because of that blood I am now seated with You at the right hand of the Father, far above every rule and authority, every power and dominion, and every name that is named, and everything is now been put under my feet. I thank You for the blood that redeemed me, the blood that washed me, the blood that gave me access into my heavenly position in Christ Jesus, and the blood that speaks of my blessings and my divine inheritance. I thank You that I appropriate this blood daily and enter into the Holy of Holies, into the presence of my King, the Lover of my soul, my Master and my everything. I thank You, Lord, for loving me to life, for loving me to my position at Your side, and for calling me Your bride. I thank You, Lord, for blessing me with every spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus, that in You I have more than enough, and in You all my needs are met not just according to my needs, but according to Your riches in Christ Jesus. I thank You, Lord, that You are pouring out blessings upon me that there is not room enough to receive it, and You are rebuking the devour for my sake. I thank You that You are blessing me that I may be a blessing. I thank You, Lord, that heaven and earth is being moved for Your bride so that You may be glorified in her in this last hour and that You may partner with her in the greatest harvest of souls of all time. I thank You, Lord, and I praise You for Who You are and all that You are doing. All to Your glory, Lord. All to Your glory.  Amen and amen

As We Forgive Our Debtors

"And forgive us our debts, as we have
forgiven our debtors."
Matthew 6:9

Last night as this Word was ministered to us in service, the Lord reminded me of His answer to my prayer and His performance of His Word in my life.  Four months ago the Lord spoke to me through this same Word to forgive and cancel some debt that someone owed to us and had been paying on monthly as per our agreement. This wasn't necessarily something that was going to be "in our budget" as that monthly income was something we depended upon as well, but in obedience and in faith to what the Lord put on my heart and had spoken, we did this, and now four months later He forgave and canceled a debt that we were paying on that was much larger. Glory!
Our God is a God of His Word. He watches over His Word to perform it. He is faithful and just, and I am so greatful for the Holy Spirit to lead me and guide me into His perfect will. God loves us and has a plan for our redemption and our blessing, and as we just surrender all and listen for His leading, He takes us there. He has SO much more for us than we can imagine, but He wants us submitted to His will and led by His Spirit. I give glory to my Father for His great love and faithfulness. Amen and amen

Testimony of God's Goodness

"And when you were dead in your trespasses
and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He
made you alive together with Him, having
forgiven us all our transgressions, having
canceled out the certificate of debt consisting
of decrees against us and which was hostile
to us; and He has taken it out of the way,
having nailed it to the cross.  When He had
disarmed the rulers and authorities, He
made a public display out of them, having
triumphed over them through Him."
Colossians 2: 13-15

I delight exceedingly in giving testimony this morning of God's goodness and faithfulness as He watches over His Word to perform it. Yesterday the Lord blessed us with some awesome news that He had canceled our remaining debt that we had been working on paying off over the last four years. Glory to God!! This remaining debt was truly a significant figure, and now God was pouring out His blessing, rebuking the devour and blessing us so that we could be a blessing.  This news came to me the day after completing a 21 day Daniel fast focused on seeing God open up the blessings and opportunities that He had provided for me to pursue this vision and dream that He had given me in "Operation: Free the Bride" to destroy debt and release prosperity into the hands of His bride. I was standing on His Word in Isaiah 58:6, "Is this not the fast which I have chosen, to loosen the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free and to break every yoke?"  God has truly loosed the bonds of wickedness in our lives and broken the yoke, for debt is bondage and He is breaking that bondage and yoke, and setting the oppressed free!
I give this testimony for God's glory, but also as one of encouragment for others to know and receive the love and faithfulness of God for themselves, that He is moving on our behalf as we trust and walk with Him, obeying His leading and aligning our lives with His Word. He IS rebuking the devour for us. As we seek first His kingdom, all these other things WILL be added to us. As we bring our tithes and offering into the storehouse, He WILL open up the windows of heaven and pour out on us a blessing that there is not room enough to receive it, and He WILL rebuke the devour for our sakes. God is good, and He is faithful. He DOES watch over His Word to perform it. He is our Father, and He has good plans for us to success and prosper, and as we align our lives with His Word and His will, those plans WILL manifest.

I praise You, Lord. I give You all the glory and honor due Your name. I thank You for Your faithfulness and Your everlasting mercy. I thank You for blessing me so that I can be a blessing. I thank You for moving in this area of debt cancelation in my life, and ask You to multiply this seed of blessing for the purpose of blessing others out of debt as well. I thank You, Lord, for breaking the bondage of debt and setting us free as truly kingdom children should be. And I thank You, Lord, for more of these testimonies as You go about breaking the yokes and bondags of debt, setting us free and blessing us so that we can be a blessing. All glory and honor are Yours, Jesus.  Amen and amen

Drawing the Line and Opening the Floodgates

It's time to draw the bloodline. It's time to decide and declare what kingdom you're in, what belongs there and what does not. It's time to decide what you stand for, who you're standing with and why you're standing there. It's time to draw the bloodline and not give the devil any room to steal and rob from you anymore. It's time to apply the blood of Jesus over our lives, over our families, over our finances and over everything we hold dear. It's time for us to REALLY BELIEVE in the power of that blood, what it accomplished, what it purchased and what it defeated at Calvery. There IS power in the blood. There IS victory in the blood of Jesus and in His name.
It's time to draw the line on the fear. It's time to draw the line on the shame. It's time to draw the line on the addiction, and the sickness and infirmity that continues to plaque and hinder you. It's time to bring an end to the schemes of the devil and release the fullness of God's power through your faith in the blood and through your praise in your assured victory. It's time to stand, walk and live in the kingdom of God that lives within us. It's time. It's God's time. It's kingdom time. It's victory time.
Lord, we declare the kingom of heaven is at hand, it's within us, and we draw the bloodline and stand in our position in the kingdom seated with You at the right hand of the Father. We resist the devil and he flees. We apply and appropriate the blood of Jesus over our lives, over our homes, over our families and over our finances, and we declare them all brought under the power of that blood, redeemed from the curse and restored to life and wholeness. We thank You, Jesus, for all You did for us at Calvery. We thank You for giving Your life, shedding Your blood and being the sacrificial Lamb that paid for our sins and paid the full price for our debt. We give You our lives, surrendering fully to the leading of Your Holy Spirit, and we align ourselves with Your Word as testimony to the world that we are Your very Body and continuing the works that You did here on earth. We thank You, Lord, that those things You did, we will do also, and greater things will we do because You go to the Father. Thank You, Jesus, for daily interceding for us, for hearing and answering our prayers and for glorifying Yourself in us.

And now, Father, as we stand in our position in the kingdom, You said in Your Word to ask You for rain in the later rain, so we ask You today, open the floodgates of heaven, and let it rain, let it rain! Open the floodgates of heaven. Let it rain, let it rain!

"Ask the Lord for rain
In the time of the latter rain."
Zechariah 10:1
