Praise the Lord Readers,

I want to take a moment and encourage everyone who has ever been broken.

God’s intent behind being broken is to bless you. Remember in Luke 22, when Jesus broke the bread and then distributed it? Well, if your prayer is to be used and be nourishment for someone else, you have to be broken.

Brokenness is not a bad thing. It’s not a place most people desire but rest assured some distributing is coming shortly after your breaking. Unless you break the vessel you cannot get all the precious contents. It’s through brokenness, that our true anointing flows to bless those around us. We shine the brightest when we are in situations, God alone can fix. They aren’t comfortable but rest assured God is getting the glory if you suffer well!

KINGDOM

have identified four components essential for the full operation and effectiveness for fulfilling kingdom assignments. These components are purpose, people, places, and partnerships. Each one of these essential components will be discussed in detail.

Purpose Purpose, for our discussion, concerns the reason for our existence. Why are we here?

Discovering our purpose helps us find our direction and focuses our attention and energies. Spending time with the Holy Spirit helps us with the discovery of our purpose.

The Holy Spirit will provide clues as to our purpose. Jesus knew why He was born and once He announced His purpose, He started

CRITICAL EXAMINATION Understanding God’s Word is foundational

STEWARDSHIP {dress and keep the garden}

Genesis Introduction

The book of Genesis, in Hebrew means rê’shı ̂yth- the first in place time order and rank. H7225 (Gen 1:1)

Surrounding Context In five days God created everything productive for man to survive. (Gen. 1:1-25) When God placed man in the Garden it was for a specific task and that was to tend and take care of it. Gen. 2:15 tells us God put Adam in Eden to tend and keep it. Dress means - aw-bad’- work, serve, labor.

(H5647) Keep means shâmar- hedge, guard or attend. (H8104) God’s intent is that mankind would be productive in all they placed their hands to do.

Original Audience Those who came out of Egypt after 430 years of bondage. These words were very valuable to Israel because they could see how God called them to be owners from the beginning.

Today’s Audience Today we are no longer under the Adamic, Noahic, or Abrahamic covenant but in the covenant made by Christ’s blood.

Heb. 9:25 For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant...

(NIV) Our dominion comes from a heart submitted to God first and then and only then, can we truly walk in good stewardship. While management does not save, it is an underling principle in the life of a believer.

Your DNA carries a special map called purpose that can only be lived to its fullest with God in you. The power of God works in earthen vessels to accomplish what we can’t in and of ourselves. The gifts that God has in you are to be properly managed meaning, only used to advance the Kingdom of God. Your gifts, children, finances and marriage are not for your glory but for God’s glory. When we properly manage and take care of what we have it gives praise to our creator. True stewardship is taking care of every area of your life. Proper balance is important to God. According to Matthew 25:23, if you are faithful over the few, God will cause you to prosper. God bless you.

PROPHETIC ENCOUNTER

Work The Power Inside Of You Prophetess

Kimberly M. Fleming Ephesians 3:20 Now unto Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the POWER that works in us.

This is one of my favorite scriptures because, one day in prayer, God showed me that in order for Him to do exceedingly abundantly above all I could ask or think, I needed to tap in and use the POWER He has given me. There is power that God has given us but we don’t use it.

Don’t get me wrong I love the prophetic, I AM a prophet.

However let’s not become prophecy junkies. Seek the Lord for yourself through prayer, fasting, and studying your Word.

Exercise your faith and begin to use the POWER that is in

you. Mark 11:23 says, “Have faith in God and whoever says to the mountain be thou removed and be cast into the sea and does not doubt in his heart but believes those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.” God will move mountains when you stand in faith believing, when you use His Word, and the POWER He has given you.

So, in this New Year 2016, have faith in God. Trust in Him. Don’t doubt or lean to your own understanding. God has equipped you to overcome every obstacle and every trial. Everything you need to live victoriously this year is in that POWER that’s working within you.

Now work that POWER that’s in you and He will do exceedingly abundantly above all you can ask or think.

Be blessed!

Prophetess Kim Fleming

What is transformation in terms of Romans 12:2?

In context of that passage, Paul has spent several chapters describing this glorious inheritance we have received through faith in Christ. He ends it by talking about

how we have been en-grafted into the vine and the gifts of God are irrevocable. In light of everything God has done for you, God is beseeching you, which in the Greek, is a term meaning, “I’m begging you,” don’t be conformed to the image of this world. Conformed in the Greek means, “to be pressed into the mold.” It’s the idea of allowing the outside influence to shape you. Don’t allow your circumstances, culture and disadvantages you’ve had to experience, define your life. Present your body as an act of worship. By doing this you will learn to think differently.

The Greek word transformation is where we get the word metamorphosis. The case and point study is the process of the caterpillar to the butterfly. The caterpillar has

L A N ATIO

RN

written in its

DNA that it can fly and that it’s supposed to be a beautiful butterfly but caterpillars can’t fly.

When we look at the Greek word it’s the idea that the end result is already written in the DNA but you’ve got to go through the process for what’s deposited on the inside to come to the outside.

Some people want an early release. Why is the process so important?

It’s the struggle of breaking out of the cocoon that gives the caterpillar the strength to fly.

Everyone is looking for a shortcut and trying to circumvent the process. There’s something that we learn at every level that prepares us for the next. The key to all of this, is the fact that there is no shortcut.

Don’t Conform

Conformity is allowing the world to think for you. Instead of

accepting your history as destiny, do something different. Allow the Word of God to renew your mind. When you are going through difficulties let the reservoir of the Word be your source.

Inner Healing Healing is actually a work of the Holy Spirit.

What is the difference between inner and outer healing?

Pastor L. Graddic: Outer healing is physical. It may be something that needs to be corrected in our lives.

You may need to be healed from habit or something you can do yourself.

On the other hand inner healing is actually a work of the Holy Spirit coming within you to heal something or a place in your life that has received trauma. The Holy Spirit will work through the care giver which is the person who is praying for the other person. The Holy Spirit is so important because He will reveal to the person who is praying, the healing that the wounded person needs.

are not able to be expressed, but the Holy Spirit can reveal it to the both of us. We both then begin to pray that the enemy will loose that thing so that freedom can come.

Is intercessory prayer a large part of being healed?

Apostle R. Graddic: I would say that it is 90% of a person’s inner healing.

Inner healing comes when a person realizes they’ve been hurt. We are good at carrying our hurt. Even some leaders. People don’t look for you to be hurt, they look for you to lead. A lot of times leaders are leading people that are hurt, when they should be receiving healing themselves so they can be more effective.

“I’m tall. I reached five feet seven inches in sixth grade. I have always been one of the tallest girls in my class, for as long as I can remember.

I hated it. I towered over the boys and I never felt very feminine. My mother watched this, over the years, and would tell me. “Don’t slouch! Be proud of your height.”

Yeah, yeah, mom. Her words fell on deaf ears. I wanted to be petite, small, and cute. I was none of these in my mind. I was too tall, too big and less than. I began to slouch again.

I learned I had other skills that others valued, more than cute looks and petite frame.

I was intelligent. I had something to say and others listened. I stood tall again. I was kind to everyone, regardless of their appearance. I fought for the underdog – for those no one else loved or understood. I felt good. Then I

lowed the other person to take my self-worth, to make me feel less than: inferior. I had to fight it every day, by putting on a brave face.

Shake it off. It hurt, but I tried not to let it show. I grew a thick skin, but still felt small underneath.

This was not the kind of small I wanted to feel! This was wrong. I continued to give pieces of myself away to others through my twenties.

Seeking approval from others who did not deserve my attention.

Bending to be who I thought they wanted me to be.

Loving the wrong people for the wrong reasons. It was never enough. I was never good enough.

Little did I know, it was not me, but others who had the issues. I had to hit a low before I picked myself up off the bottom and got back up. It was a LOW low. I put myself in harm’s way and did not care about my own safety. I finally

snapped out of it and got back on my feet. I had to rebuild my self-esteem and self-worth. No one else could do this for me. I had to do this for myself. It was hard and it took over a decade to accomplish.

I was finally feeling good about myself. I had a good job, nice apartment, good friends and colleagues who respected me. I was in a meeting with my supervisor: a very petite, cute woman, who was quite a powerhouse. We had good talks. She coached me as a mentor. I respected her. After that meeting she told me, “you know, you sit very straight, rigidly. It’s a little off-putting to the men in the meeting.” I was crushed. Here was my mentor telling me to

slouch, to be less “intimidating,” for others’ approval. I couldn’t believe she was buying into this.

I heard a voice come out of my body saying, “Okay, I understand, and I’ll do that next time.”

I just gave a piece of me away again. I thought about this conversation all that day and the rest of the week. I turned this over in my mind. Should I be different at work than in my personal life? Was I intimidating? Should I change to fit the expectation?

Should I be less than? Then I heard my mother’s voice in my head. “Don’t slouch! Be proud of your height.” I straightened my spine, stood tall and decided to be ME. I’ve never looked back and I never will!

So now, I encourage you, the reader, to do the same. Regardless of your size, height, or weight, stand tall because you are beautiful, smart, and important. Never let anyone take a piece of you away.

Detoxification

A 101 Guide to Restoring Vitality

N

ow that the New Year has rung in, many people will contemplate embarking on a detoxification and/or cleansing program. These two terms are used interchangeably, but truly have different meanings. First, let’s clarify the meaning of these terms. Cleansing means “to wash clean; to purge.” Detoxification is defined as: “the metabolic process by which toxic substances are eliminated from the body, rendering substances from toxic to

non-toxic.” The former works gently with the body and kick starts the eliminative processes bringing the body to a more balanced state. The latter requires more energy and nutritional support to biochemically activate the body’s detoxification pathways, converting harmful toxins to substances that can safely be excreted from the body. Detoxification and cleansing go hand in hand.

Cleansing is undoubtedly an adjunct to detoxification and one will get optimal results, with their detox program, when including cleansing therapies. However, cleansing can be done on a continual basis, on its own, to keep the body balanced and free from excesses. We live in a culture of excess. People tend to eat too much, drink too much and overly stress to the point of bodily imbalance and

Cleansing is a way to counteract excesses in lifestyle.

On that note, where are we being exposed to toxins that need detoxing/cleansing and how do you achieve detox/cleansing? We are all exposed to toxins on a daily basis. Toxins come from our food and

water, the environment (outside and inside our homes/jobs) hygiene and house cleaning products, medications, alcohol, pathogens (in the body), and our own metabolic processes. It is impossible to completely avoid toxins, however, they can be reduced and managed.

Detoxification is usually achieved through the supplementation of specific nutrients, either orally or intravenously, as well as, diet modifica-

DAVIS

WALK IT OUT! What did Jesus come to show believers?

Jesus came to show believers the power of God. Before Jesus came in the flesh as God, there was no demonstration of what the miraculous looks like.

Jesus came to show us how to operate in the miraculous on earth.

Paul was stating in 1 Corinthians 2:4, I didn’t come with great words. There are a lot of preachers who can give you some wonderful words but they have no power.

Why has it become common in society for people to say I’m a Christian and not live the life of Jesus?

In society everyone is compromising and wants to be the next wonder and the next

great in the Kingdom. It’s become common for people to live one life at church and another life outside of church. We are taught that all of us are the children of God and the Bible say’s my sheep know my voice. If we hear His voice we will live how He told us to live.

Why are so many people not applying what they preach?

That comes with accountability. No one is telling us you have to do the right thing. The standard of holiness is still set. I got to the point where I wanted to preach so badly and I had to juggle between my passion and my past time. I had to get my behavior together so I could operate in my passion.

The Greek definition for Kingdom is basileia G935; royalty, rule, a realm.

KINGDOM IS...

Matthew 23:11 The greatest among you will be your servant.

The Truth Behind the Leadership Chair

The duties that fall on a leader’s shoulders are momentous. Every leader has to be sure that God has called them to lead. If He hasn’t called you, the weight can crush you. Some people look at the leadership seat and desire to sit in it not knowing the responsibility.

You don’t know the weight that comes with the chair. Some people will dog you to your face and you still have to love them and be a genuine example. Money may lack but you have to stay consistent. Your body may be sick but you still have to pray. Everyone smiles and admires your strength not knowing the grace it takes to hold you daily.

The place where many leaders find themselves is like Moses in Numbers 11. They put on a smile but inwardly, they’re suffering from the weight. I believe you have to be graced to sit in certain seats. If God has not called you, don’t go. If He has, He will keep you and hold you under the weight of the pressure.

When you are serious and dedicated to doing right no matter the cost, there are many times you will have to raise your hands and let God handle situations. You are the under Shepard God is the Shepard. You are the agent which God uses to grow and teach His people. The church is not yours but God’s. Don’t let your assignment make you bitter or upset.

Seek God’s help in every situation. I know the people look at smile and don’t see the responsibility that comes with leading people but don’t let anyone make you strike the rock, which is talks about being disobedient to how God told you to handle a situation. Your reward is prepared, walk out the journey with God’s help. John 21:17, encourages us to feed HIS sheep. If we love the Lord, let’s serve God’s people with love and not emotions.
