I used the marriage covenant anointing oil. Not to go into a long story but I haven’t seen my wife since September 2014 and she moved about 400 miles away.

Standing for my marriage has been a long and hard journey but the best thing that has happened to me. I have a relationship with God an intimate relationship. Well by faith I wanted to bless you by purchasing oil and support your ministry. Money has been tight

but I wanted to pour into someone who blessed me. By faith I anointed her side of the bed. Not knowing she would ever sleep there since she now lives 400 miles away and has no plans of coming home. Well she showed up at 4 am at my door last weekend asking for a place to sleep for the night. I knew she was in town but didn’t expect her in my bed. I prayed for her as I watched her sleep and thanked God for answered prayers. She left as quickly as she came but I saw a glimpse of the work that God is doing with her.

Chapter Excerpt Acceptance: According to Webster, acceptance is the act of taking or receiving something offered, favorable reception, approval, favor, and the act of assenting or believing. Do you feel accepted by your love ones today? Maybe you feel the opposite? God accepts you and loves you. There is no sin great enough that can separate you from the love of God. He wants you to come to him as you are. There’s no need to try to fix yourself up first because God is looking at your heart and not your outward appearance. Maybe you are critical of others?

God wants us to love others as we love ourselves.

Dear Heavenly Father, Lord, I will praise your name with all I have within me. You are a gracious and merciful God. Psalm 139:14 (ESV) says, “I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.”

Lord, you don’t see me as man sees me because you look at my heart (1 Samuel 16:7). Lord, I am glad that you accept me as I am. Ephesians 1:5 says, “God predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will.” Romans 8:38-39 (KJV) says, “ For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate me from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye?

You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.” God help me to look at others through the eyes of love and the way you see them.

Colossians 3:12-14 (ESV) says,” Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.

And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.” Thank you Lord, for accepting me as I am and not looking at my outward appearance as man does. Thank you Lord for helping me over-come so I can be more accepting of others. In Jesus name Amen.

Lord, help me to accept others as you have accepted me. Romans 15:7 (ESV) says,” Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.” Sometimes, I tend to be judgmental of others. Matthew 7:1-5 (ESV) says, “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?

MEET PROPHET SHAWN MORRIS From The Pit To The Palace. Prophet Shawn Morris came from humble beginnings to being anointed, prosperous, and sought after internationally. Read his powerful testimony.

Prophet Shawn Anthony Morris is a very unique and highly anointed man of God whose been called for such an appointed time as this. He is gifted to operate in all facets of the five-fold ministry, and has a passion and a heart for revival. He is a descendant of Gods’ General “William J. Seymour” of the Azusa Street revival which ended in 1915. He is the President/CEO of Shawn Morris International Ministries. He and his wife travel all over the world on mission trips sharing the gospel and setting the captives free.

They have traveled to and currently support charities in Ghana, Kenya, Jamaica, Israel, India, Canada, Philippines, Korea, and Pakistan. Shawn Morris International Ministries has an Evangelist Outreach program to help the homeless. We also support St. Jude Children’s Hospital, local restoration houses, and charities.

We hold fund raisers, local and international revivals/conferences, as well as, youth conferences to reach the world for the glory of God. Prophet Morris was born in New Orleans on December 10, 1979.

Prophet Shawn Morris went from tragedy to triumph. The enemy of our souls, the devil tried to take him out early. The enemy of our souls tries to kill prophets all throughout biblical history. He tried to kill Moses at birth (Exodus 1:6) and Jesus Christ (Matthew 2:16-18). He was

REJOICE ESSENTIAL MAY 2015 6

born prematurely with a hole in his heart. However, God kept him.

Next his mother’s boyfriend tried to harm him with acid. Sadly, his own mother abused him as a child by burning him with cigarette. Shawn was neglected by his biological father. He felt alone at times and he turned to the streets. Shawn faced rejected but the Lord said he was precious in His sight. Raised in the Calliope Housing Development had a strong impact on the bad choices that he made early in his life. He started using cocaine at the tender age of 13, then the use of heroin at the age of 15.

God’s grace was upon Shawn at an early age. His life was spared on multiple occasions. He had shoot outs with rival gangs and was arrested many times. He even was beaten up pretty badly by police officers. Even at his darkest times, the Lord was right there. For instance, Shawn recognized God was with him when had his first supernatural encounter at the age of fourteen.

Then Lord’s hand was upon Shawn and He began to do a great work in his life over time. One day Shawn and his cousins stole a car and went for a joy ride. All of a sudden, they turned onto a red dirt road where this twenty to thirty foot cliff was.

The car sped out of control, and off the cliff they went. As they were in the air, everything went into

Prophet Morris’ favorite quote. If a ministry is not SUPERNATURAL it is NATURAL, and if NATURAL then it’s carnal.” Author: THE HOLY SPIRIT. After his release from prison, he stopped the usage of drugs, but he continued to sell them. He pursued a music career that gained him some notoriety in the underground circuit of the Hip-hop world in New Orleans, Louisiana. However in August of 2008 Hurricane Katrina hit the gulf coast and caused major damage to New Orleans and the surrounding areas of the Gulf Coast.

slow motion. The car finally landed on the ground, bounced several times, and hit a tree that split the hood of the car in half. His face went through the windshield. Glass sliced his eyelids in two, ripped flesh from his face, and cut his neck.

After the collision, his face print was left on the windshield with a pair of bloody angel wings around it.

When the car was pulled out of the wreckage, it frightened everyone who saw it. The doctors said that if he had turned his head slightly to the left or right when he went through the glass, his head would have been completely cut off.

That was only the beginning of many crimes yet to come. By the age of 20, he had a list of crimes, which included battery of a police officer, drug possession, armed robbery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and the list goes on. When Shawn was in his twenties, he was facing ninety-nine years in prison for armed robbery and

attempted murder. He was involved in a shoot-out with a guy over money. The event had even made the newspapers. When Shawn was in prison he gave his life to Jesus.

He begin to experience the joy of the Lord during his storm and he was instantly delivered from his heroin addiction.

He vowed to God that if He got him out of prison, he would never touch heroin again and would be fully devoted to serving Him. He was facing 99 years in prison when God delivered him from the pits of hell.

Well, God is a covenant keeper, and He got him out of prison. The judge reduced his attempted murder charge to assault with a deadly weapon. Then they let him go because there were no witnesses, and the defendant didn’t even show up.

After he was released from prison, he didn’t keep his vow to God. The hand of God was upon him and God’s agenda was done in his life.

It was a storm of biblical proportions. Prophet Morris was then forced to relocate to Houston, Texas. After relocating to Houston Prophet Morris received more popularity with his music career that caused him to be connected to more national and international rap celebrities. But in May 03, 2008, God arrested his soul and he was filled with the Holy Spirit.

On that day there was a shift. God wouldn’t give up on Shawn. He had a mighty work for him to do.

Shawn’s childhood friend Joel came over to visit. However, Shawn was shocked because Joel had given his life to Jesus Christ and was a new person. Joel read “2 Timothy 3:1–7” out loud and the Holy Spirit convicted Shawn. He fell on his knees and felt an electricity travel all over his body.

He cried for hours on the floor and gave his life over to Jesus Christ. He was done with the sinful lifestyle.

He started giving away his cars and jewelry. He told the women he was pimping that he quit. He flushed all

FROM MISERY TO MINISTRY Shawn Morris International Ministries by the power of God offer healing, deliverance, supernatural encounters, miracles, prophetic teachings, impartation to activate, and demonstrate spiritual gifts in believers. This ministry is truly a blessing that equips the body of Christ. the drugs he had down the toilet, and all leftover addictions left him instantly. After his conversion, many people at his job and apartment complex were also saved and delivered.

One day, Shawn was at church when a Prophetess told him he was called to be a prophet. This was later confirmed when he met Pastor Benny Hinn. Later that year, he was attending a service with Pastor Benny Hinn and was called up out

REJOICE ESSENTIAL MAY 2015 8

of a crowd of 3,000 people. He fell on the stage several times because the glory of God was present.

God began to speak to him. Pastor Hinn laid hands on Prophet Morris and he said, “This man has a great anointing on his life and is going to have same anointing as I have.”

After that encounter, Prophet Shawn began to see in the spirit realm. One day as he was in deep prayer, he closed his eyes tight.

Once he became relaxed, he started

to feel light. He raised my hands to his face, and to his shock, both of his hands were engulfed in blue flames! Two weeks later Prophet Morris began to feel the heat of the Lord in his hands, and the prophetic healing and deliverance ministry was birthed at that very moment.

During Prophet Shawn’s storm, he was homeless for a few months after his ex-wife and he decided to go their separate ways. One night he had an encounter in his dream.

He was in front of a hospital, and he had two suitcases. He took his suitcases and stood in front of a bus stop. This huge bus that looked like a Greyhound bus pulled up. He got on and realized he was the only one on the bus. He was afraid because he had seen something like this in a horror movie. He yelled out to the bus driver, “Where are you taking me?” When the bus driver turned around and took off his hat, he had a crown of thorns on his head. He saw his eyes and blood streaming down his face. It was Jesus! When he woke up from the dream, he was pale as a ghost!

He asked a few people who knew how to interpret dreams and visions, and this was their interpretation: The hospital he was in front of represented the church. The suitcases indicated he was about to travel. The bus represented the size of his ministry. The part about showing him His eyes was to let Shawn know what kind of ministry he would have. The eyes represented the seer and the prophetic anointing. The blood dripping was to let him know that he needed to live a sacrificial lifestyle and suffer for His name sake in order to receive and maintain that anointing. That prophesy in the vision

came to pass. Prophet Shawn now travels across the world preaching, prophesying, and laying hands on the sick and they recover with signs following.

One day Reinhard Bonnke, a healing evangelist from Africa, had an impartation service in the United States. He was scheduled to be in Houston for a three day event.

Shawn’s new wife Tora and he decided to go since they had no personal mentor. They decided they were going to get all they could from God, by any means. They adopted a baby boy named Isaiah, whose mother was incarcerated.

The child had two small tumors, one on his eye and one under his tongue the size of a nickel. Isaiah was only several weeks old when he was due for surgery to remove the tumors. His wife turned to Shawn and said; “Baby, I believe if you pray for him he will be healed.”

Shawn agreed. He took baby Isaiah and lifted him up in the air, proclaimed his healing, and blew on him. The baby began to throw up. Fifteen minutes later as they were leaving for the meeting they checked the baby, and the tumor on his eye was gone. It had totally disappeared, but the one under

his tongue was still there. He told his wife as we walked out the door, “Don’t worry when we come back, the other one will be gone.”

When they got to the service they sat next a wheelchair-bound Korean pastor several African pastors tried to pray for him, but to no avail.

All of a sudden, Shawn heard the voice of God say, “Pull him out of the chair.” Shawn did his best to ignore His voice. He began to reason with the Lord, explaining to Him how he hadn’t been fasting and praying. The Lord politely repeated, “Pull him out of the chair.”

So Shawn decided to ask the pastor’s wife if he could pray for her husband, hoping she would say no.

She agreed to allow Shawn to pray for him, so Shawn began to lift him out the wheelchair. His wife suddenly said, “What are you doing?”

He told her, “Just trust me,” and he started to walk with the pastor, holding him by his waist for support. Then he heard the Holy Spirit say, “Let him go,” so he did. At first his legs wobbled, then all of sudden, the wheel chair bound pastor started to walk on his own.

The crowd went crazy. Bodyguards rushed Shawn because of the pandemonium. They said, “What are you doing?” Shawn replied, “I

Shawn was so hungry for God that he left everything to chase after the Glory.

Now Prophet Shawn operates in the Glory realm where gold dust, super natural weight loss, and money miracles appear.

am just doing what Reinhard would do.” Then the event host said, “Let him go, and let him pray for the people.” As he prayed, people were touched by God. It was glorious.

Afterwards, people came up to Tora and Shawn and asked to take pictures with them. When they arrived home, the tumor under baby Isaiah’s tongue had completely disappeared just as Shawn had spoken it. It was a miracle! Now baby Isaiah didn’t have to have surgery.

One night, while Shawn went to his home time to do a service, the

REJOICE ESSENTIAL MAY 2015 10

Glory of God showed up. The service started, and as he held an altar call, his grandma’s pants started to fall. She experienced instantaneous weight-loss. Then, a lady jumped up to her feet, shouting that she’d just seen money appear in her purse.

Prophet Morris was ordained as a Pastor/Prophet in the five-fold ministry under the leadership of Dr. E. Woodie Mathis and Holy Ground Ministries in December of 2008 in, which Prophet Morris was the governing Prophet over several of the house churches in the Houston

and Louisiana areas. During this time Prophet Morris also was the catalyst for a nine month revival that hit Houston, Texas in 2010 that led hundreds to the Lord.

Because of this phenomenal move of God many local and international churches have under the leadership of Prophet Shawn Morris as a spiritual mentor and father to many pastors around the globe. Prophet Morris has also started a program called Fisherman Evangelistic Outreach. Its sole purpose is to reach at risk youth and those who are

engaging in criminal activities with alternative solutions to modern day issues they face, such as HIV/AIDS prevention, social identity in the academic and work place settings, as well as, providing alternative music choices such as positive hip-hop and gospel rap.

This program also provides awareness of the spiritual essence of the gifts and talents that these youth possess. Also Prophet Morris has received his Ministerial Credential as a healing evangelist and became a member of the 4 Corner Alliance in October 26th of 2013 through Joan Hunter Ministries.

Murdock, Reinhard Bonnke, Josh Mills, and Bishop Lester Love.

With the direction of the Holy Spirit and wisdom of this mentors Prophet Morris’ ministry moves with great power in the supernatural. People have experienced rapid weight loss, financial breakthroughs, debt cancellations, money multiplication, money appearing in wallets/ pockets, instant deliverance, healings, oil dripping from their hands, body parts growing out, vertebrate aligning, gold dust, as well as, angel feather and heavenly rain drops falling in the service. Prophet Morris is passionate about God’s people and seeing them saved, set free, and delivered.

Many salvations have taken place in his services and many have also been filled with the Holy Spirit and immediately started speaking in tongues. His prophesy and word of knowledge continues to be ac-

curate like never before.. Prophet Shawn Morris is supported by his beautiful wife, Prophetess Adetoro Adegbenro Morris, a woman appointed by God.

This lovely woman of God from Dunstable, United Kingdom has a heart for the people of God. Read what the Lord placed on her heart to share with the nations. She has a passion for woman who have been abused. Experience Prophetess Charlene Saidi nurturing side as you become captivated by her daily writings.

Here’s a vision I had that I want to share with God’s people. In my vision, I had seen a roaring lion that was slowly creeping up to catch its prey. God showed me this is what the enemy does to us. He creeps in silently sometimes without us even knowing. John 10:10 says, “that the enemy comes only to kill steal and destroy.” 1 Peter 5:8 says, “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”

He is always looking for a way in to your life. That’s why the bible says be alert and it also says be watchful. If we are watchful then there should be no time for the enemy to gain access in to our lives. A lion creeps up then pounces. When he pounces into your life, we as Gods children need to stand up. We need to say “you picked the wrong son or daughter of the Most High God to pounce on Satan. I’m not the prey you’re going to like.” Put him back behind you where he belongs.

Glasses of deception The enemy brings deception in the area of purity. I was recently looking through you tube and

REJOICE ESSENTIAL MAY 2015 12

a video popped up which was a song out in the music industry of the world. As I began to watch this video, I noticed it was full of half-naked girls and rude actions.

The Lord began to show me certain things in this video about how the enemy brings deception in this area to many women and men. Many people today believe that it’s okay to have sex out of marriage if you love someone. That is a lie as the bible clearly says that you have to be married first. My point here isn’t about sex. My point here is to tell you what God showed me to speak.

The lord showed me that nonbelievers and also believers in the body of Christ are walking around with a set of deceptive glasses on.

The glasses were black like sunglasses we wear when it’s sunny, but these glasses are a Spiritual set. It’s a deception the enemy has put on people to believe in to his lies. The enemy wants Man kind to be lustful and sin with our bodies to try and destroy our purity. He doesn’t want you to be kept pure.

The bible says charm is deceptive, so when something looks charming it can be deception from the evil one. That’s where we should be

praying without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17).

He makes people believe in to his schemes and lies that it’s okay to do those sorts of things out of marriage. If you know someone who lives a life like that then you need to pray for those glasses to fall from their eyes and smash. Let the light of Jesus shine on them and who the son sets free is free indeed (John 8:36). The word of God says that our body is the holy temple of God, so if the enemy can lead you in to sin with your body then he will try and bring condemnation. If you confess your sins, God is faithful to forgive you.

Father I pray for every person reading this that has any dark set of

Spiritual glasses on. Lord I pray that you would remove every lie and deception that the enemy has placed upon your children and I pray that you would show them your love and show them the truth so it can set them free of any sin that reigns in their life and keep them in your righteous right hand and strength them in Jesus name amen.

My journey with Jesus Hi my name is Charlene I am 26 years old and I’m from London England. I’ve been a born again Christian for 3 years now and I’m loving every minute of this journey that The Lord is taking me on. I’m married to a wonderful man and we have 2 beautiful children. I’m going to start this blog with a little

bit about myself and what kind of background I’m from.

I wasn’t originally brought up in a Christian home. I have 2 sisters who are older than me one is 30 and the other is 34. My eldest sister is also a born again Christian who lead me to Jesus. She is a prophetic evangelist for Gods kingdom. My journey really started from when my sister started to tell me about Jesus and that he had died for me and that he loves me. At first I didn’t want to know but my sister still preached the gospel to me. At that time in my life I was facing a life changing situation where I was facing prison for a crime that I committed before I met my husband.

I had been working for a company and stole some money from there to feed a drug habit of mine. The company took me to court so then I was facing prison. I was frightened and scared and didn’t know what to do .I had told everyone one and my family that I was innocent and I did the sinners prayer thinking it would get me out of trouble but I didn’t mean it in my heart to ask for forgiveness from God. A little time after that I was still going through the process of court and started to feel convicted by the holy spirt of my sin and the fact that I was lying to everyone.

I didn’t know that’ it was the holy spirt convicting me at that time .I started to have this feeling inside of

REJOICE ESSENTIAL MAY 2015 13

me that I need to confess the truth to everyone that I did steal the money, and as soon as I did everything changed. Before I knew it ,it was all over and I was never sent to prison, I just had a criminal record. I continued my life after that as normal with my husband and our little boy, not even turning a blind eye that God has just saved me from going to prison. Still after that my sister carried on preaching the gospel to me and telling me all about Jesus for another year of my life .I had got married in this time and me and my husband was expecting our 2nd child. My husband and I found that we were facing another mountain. He had to go back to Tunisia to renew his visa. Everything was fine at first; we applied in Tunisia for his visa and were told it will be 13 weeks for his visa to come through.

My son and I had to come back to England while we waited for him to get his visa and come home.

I made a phone call to the home office who deals with visas one afternoon to find out what was

happening with our case as it had now been 4 months. That day I felt that my world had fallen apart, the officer of our case had just told me that my husband’s visa has been refused entry in to the UK. I was devastated. I didn’t know what I was going to do. I had told my family what was happening and I remember my sister saying to me she will get her church friends to pray for me and my husband. I had to go down a lot of channels to get my husband home. We had to appeal his case to an immigration court so a judge could overrule the refusal of entry. I was told by our solicitor that it takes 9 months just alone to get an appeal court date. I couldn’t cope with any more negative results.my sister kept saying we are praying for you Charlene.

I remember saying in the shower once God if your real please bring my husband home to me and our children. Remember I was pregnant with our 2nd child and I couldn’t fly over to see my husband as I was 6 months pregnant and didn’t want to fly just In case something hap-

pened with the baby.

After I had seen my solicitor that week I had a letter come through the post from the tribunal court saying that I had a court date within 2 months. I couldn’t believe it. In the back of my mind I was thinking maybe this God my sister talks about is real, but it wasn’t enough for me to fully believe. Before the date came for me to attend court I had my 2nd baby. Unfortunately my husband wasn’t there for the birth but I had my sister there with me, who was amazing as she had just lost her baby a few months before. God placed her there for me and gave her strength as when I look at it now it must have been hard for her. I went to court on the 4th July 2011 and my solicitor said to me that there were no other people who will be attending the hearing just me and the judge. I was shocked as normally the Home offices are there to fight against you on the reasons why they said no in the first place.

After all the evidence was given the judge looked directly at me and said I don’t normally tell people on the day of the hearing the outcome but I’m going to tell you Charlene that I am allowing your husbands appeal and will grant him access entry in to the UK.I could of fallen off my seat. I was so happy. After that my solicitor said to me it will now take between 2-4 months for my husband to get his visa from the embassy. There was my sister still there saying we’re still praying.

I had made some friends from the church from a baby group I went to which was the church girls who was running it. One particular Girl said to me your husband will be home in 4 weeks’ time, and then he was.

I was in total awe, I knew God was real; my husband came to the UK on 5th August 2011 exactly 4 weeks to what the church lady said.

In total me and my husband was

REJOICE ESSENTIAL MAY 2015 14

separated for 10 months .Everything was great afterwards I knew God was real but still felt inside I wasn’t ready to do the sinners prayer. It was 2 months later in October 2011 my sister lent me a worship album called the voice of hope

by Beverly Trotman and there was one song on their called the voice of hope I played it and just cried my heart out to Jesus and asked him to come in to my heart and forgive me of my sin. My life changed from that day onwards. I started going to church with my sister and started to read the bible. That was when Jesus took me on a journey with him.one year later on the 29th July 2012 I got baptised. I started to grow with God and started to learn the word of God and to hear God when he spoke to me through his word.

I use to get scriptures come in to my mind and I knew God was speaking to me. I would go to church listen to the sermons and worship but I always thought that’s there has to be more to you God. I use to get dreams of things happening in people’s lives and then it would come to pass or it would be a fact about someone. I didn’t understand at the time it was god trying to show me things, so I just left it and didn’t think anything of it. Later on in the year of May 2014 again everything changed i met a women of God who was running a coffee prayer morning on Mondays for women.

I saw her put things up on Facebook about this coffee prayer morning that it was amazing and that God showed up. I was so intrigued. I didn’t even know this women she was my sisters friend and I just added her to my Facebook one day. I felt a pushing in my spirt to go. So I message her one Day and said can I come to your coffee mornings, so she said yes of course. I was nervous because I didn’t know anyone. I started to go every Monday and had prophetic

words and prophecies spoken over me what then would come to pass. The lady who was running the prayer morning dropped me home once and we got speaking on some things. I told her about the dreams I had. She told me that they were from God and that they were prophetic dreams.

I started to do some research and started finding things out myself about the things I had experienced.

She then said to me that coffee prayer morning had a prophetess coming down and that I should come.so I went and met the prophetess and she messaged me a few weeks later telling me God told her to tell me to buy A book called The seer by James Goll. I had also experienced seeing a lot of demonic spirts as well. The seer book is all about a seer prophet. I was thinking to myself she must have this wrong I’m no prophet, and then one day at coffee prayer morning another lady spoke over me the scripture in Ephesians where it says about my eyes being enlightened to know the hope in which you are called Ephesians 4-4 and that my spiritual eyes would he opened.

Again everything changed I started getting confirmation of my calling that I was a seer prophet. At first I felt like I wasn’t good enough to be a prophet for God and was worried what everyone would think of me. I kept saying to God that I need him to confirm. He must have confirmed so many times and I still wouldn’t accept it until one day I heard him say to me embrace the calling don’t run from it.so I did. God has truly been amazing he has taught me how to hear his voice, to receive Visions and dreams and how to use my seer gift. It is all for his glory not mine. God places his prophets

around the world to do his work and to speak what he is saying to his people.

He has placed new friends and people to help me on my journey, and little did I know that the lady who runs coffee prayer morning is also a prophetess and she has been so helpful to me helping me with everything when I was new to it all. It was God’s plan all along for me to find these new friends in my life because if I never went to coffee prayer morning I wouldn’t be where I am today in my walk with Jesus .God used those people around me to get my calling known to me .We will always be learning and we have to let the Holy Spirt be our teacher. I’ve experienced many things with God but this is just a short blog to show u what God has done in my life. I now write blogs inspired by the holy spirt for Gods people; you can check them out on my Facebook page called the prophetic word of The Lord. It’s amazing when you look back at your life to see how far God has brought you.

Glory to God! He takes our brokenness and turns it for our good and his Glory .One thing I always said to God in prayer was “guide me lord” and I believe from that he did, he’s guided me to where I am now in life without me even knowing all of this at the beginning of my walk.

You are created for Gods Glory and to be used for his kingdom to reach out to the lost. Remember you were one of those lost people once and he used people to bring you to the place your in now, so now he will use you to bring people to him.

God’s number one is the souls of mankind. I hope you have enjoyed reading this blog and it will bless you in Jesus name amen.

DAILY PRAYERS THAT BRING CHANGES The most encouraging devotional on the scenes! Are you tired of not getting results to your prayers? Prophetess Kimberly shares revelatory keys that God gave her! Inside this award winning book contains over 50 anointed prayers to help you break through and bring change. filled the tabernacle.” In these scriptures, you see how the glory of God came through the form of a cloud. You can see how the glory is the presence of God. God can manifest his glory in many ways, which we will discuss later in this book.

Let me show you the power of speaking into the glory. Genesis 1:1-3 says, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.” Did you notice how there were two ingredients here?

The first revelatory key that God gave

me was to speak inside of his glory.

The word glory is mentioned 538 times in the King James Bible. You may be wondering what the glory is? The glory is the manifest presence of God. The glory is the beauty of his spirit. The glory of God is the energy of God or the unlimited power of God. Exodus 40:3435 (ESV) says, “Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

And Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud settled on it, and the glory of the Lord

REJOICE ESSENTIAL MAY 2015 16

The first ingredient was the glory of God or the Spirit of God. The second ingredient was the word that God spoke. When God spoke into his glory, a creative miracle occurred. Light came on the earth out of no- where. The Holy Spirit often speaks to me when I get into the glory of God saying “Kim speak your decrees.”

The glory of God is like heaven on earth. There are no diseases in heaven.

There is no pain in heaven. It is the will of God to bring heaven down to earth.

Jesus prayed “your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.” God wants his

children to be knowledgeable about his glory. Habakkuk 2:14 (ESV) says, “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.”

In the glory realm, prayers will become accelerated! Supernatural things begin to happen. For instance, once when I was in the glory of God and I spoke over myself for supernatural hair growth. My hair grew a half an inch. I could feel my hair follicles itching and noticed the next day that my roots were no longer dyed blonde but my natural black hair color.

How do you know when you get the glory? You may feel heat because God is a God that answers by fire. You might feel like something is pushing you down. You might feel chills or tingling over your body. You might see gold dust on your hands. You might feel dew like rain upon you. You might experience a glory cloud. I personally have experienced the fire of God almost every day. I long for it. I can feel his fire mostly in my hands but God choses where he wants to rest on me.

One time, I experienced dew from heaven while I was praying. I have to laugh when I reflect back upon this because I thought I spit on myself initially.

When I stopped praying I kept feeling

drops of water on my face, neck, and arms for a few minutes.

don’t stop praying. Tell them not to give up. They must keep praying.”

How to get the glory? The following are six steps to help you get the glory of God.

When you pray from your heavenly seat, your prayers are more effective because they are not earth bound.

There are demons assigned to block your prayers. One time God showed me a vision of three demons assigned to block my prayers. I saw myself praying and my prayers were going up into the sky but these three demons were standing in the way and preventing my prayers from entering the open heaven above them.

1) Connect with God having a sense of oneness with him. John 10:30 says, “I and the Father are one.”

2) You need to create an atmosphere of praise and worship. The windows of heaven begin to open when you do heart felt worship. You will begin to feel your burdens being lifted and feel a sense of peace.

3) Pray in the spirit (tongues) often.

Romans 8:26 says, “In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.”

4) Maintain a life of prayer, fasting, mediation so you can decrease and God can increase.

5) Be aware of his presence. God will begin to reveal things to you. For instance, you will receive words of knowledge, words of wisdoms, or visions.

6) Obey God. To obey is better than sacrifice (1 Samuel 15:22).

The second revelatory key is to pray from your heavenly seat. The Holy Spirit told me one time to tell his children to pray from their heavenly seat because there is a great battle going on in the heavenlies. God really wanted me to know how great the battle was in heaven so he gave me a dream. On October 22, 2014, I had a dream where the spirit of the Lord spoke to me. I was standing on the sidelines on the clouds. I saw thousands of angels on horses fighting against hundreds of demons.

There are more angels fighting for us than demons who are fighting against us. I begin to see the ground beneath us open up and saw the flames of hell.

The demons started to retreat back and fall back into hell. Then I heard the Lord speak to me saying “We are fighting for you in the heavens. Don’t give up and

After this vision, I began to do spiritual warfare. There are three heavens. The first heaven is the earth. The second heaven is hell or where the dark forces dwell which is the air in our atmosphere. This is why the devil is called the prince of the air. The third heaven is where God dwells and his heavenly hosts or angels dwell. When you pray from your heavenly seat you bypass the second heaven.

How do you pray from your heavenly seat? You do this by faith. You may not have the ability to see into the spiritual realm as a yet but we will pray for your spiritual eyes to be open later on in this book. I often see myself sitting down in the clouds to pray and you might be able to see also by faith once you pray a prayer of activation in this book.

Ephesians 2:6 says, “And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.”

Just decree right now and before you pray each time that you are praying from your heavenly seat.

The third revelatory key that God gave me was to pray in the throne room. On October 22, 2014 I began to pray to God. Recently, I created an atmosphere of worship in my home to invite the presence of God so I can constantly fellowship with him. I begin to read my bible and read Hebrews 4:16 (ESV) that says let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. I realize that this scripture was the key to enter into the

throne room of God. I have needs in my life at the moment and desperately need a miracle. So I began to worship God, then I quoted this scripture out loud. Next, I repented of my sins and asked God for forgiveness. Then I asked God to create in me a pure heart and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Finally I pleaded the blood of Jesus upon me.

Immediately I felt the fire of God upon me and I began ascending into the throne room.

I saw a golden throne with God sitting on upon it. I could not make out his face because it was full of this glorious white bright light. He was dressed in white andhis feet were a golden bronze color. I sawsome golden steps below the throne.

Then I turned to the sides of the room and seen hundreds of angels on the sides of the room. The room itself is indescribable because I have never seen a room like this room before. I threw myself in front of his throne and I began to speak my decrees for me and others until I fell into a sleepy trance. Then I saw myself descending past the stars, past the clouds, back into myroom.

Notice the steps I took to enter into the throne room. God is no respecter of a person, if I can do this then you can too.

The steps were reading the scripture, worship, repenting, forgiveness, asking for a pure heart and the right spirit, and pleading the blood of Jesus. When you enter into the throne room you should speak to every mountain in your life and command them to go. How do you know if you access the throne room? You might feel drained and fall into a sleepy trance.

You might feel heat. Just receive it by faith that you ascended if you were not able to see. We will now pray a prayer of activation out loud that your spiritual eyes will be open.

wife noticed a change in him.

Corey now puts God first in his life, he works one job, and he now spends more time with his wife and son.

Are you living a life like Corey which consists of you being extremely busy where you don’t have time for God or your family? Ask yourself, what matters the most in life?

In other words, most people spend their life achieving success and they are very miserable, lonely, and searching for that one person to share their life with. This is not what God intended for your life.

James 3:16 says, “For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and every evil practice.” It seems like people that live a simple life are much happier because they realize what really matters in life (God and family) instead of

covetousness and success.

Hebrews 13:5 says, “Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content what with you have, because God has said, I will never leave you; never will I forsake you”.

Let’s pray: Heavenly Father, I exalt you, my God the King, and praise your name forever and ever. I will praise you every day; I will honor your name forever. Help me not be selfish and not to suffer from covetousness. Proverbs 18:1 says, “Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment”. 1 Timothy 6:9 says, “Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.” But godliness with contentment is

great gain. Lord, show me what is really important in life so I don’t fall into the trap of being self-centered.

Lord, your word says in Romans 2:8 there will be wrath and fury where there are people who are self- seeking and do not obey the truth but unrighteousness. I decree and declare that I have the same mindset of Christ when dealing with my relationships. I will please my neighbor for his good and build him up.

Philippians 2:3-4 says, “ I will do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above myself, not looking to my own interests but to the interests of others.”

Lord, where selfishness has ruined my relationships I pray that you will reverse it and restore them. Lord, I realize that selfishness is one of the acts of the flesh. I decree that I will walk in the spirit so I do not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.

John 8:36 says, “So if the son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” I declare that I am free from selfishness. Thank you Lord for healing me.

Thank you for answering my prayer. In Jesus name Amen.

Scriptures To Mediate on For Selfishness: 1 John 3:17, But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him?

1 Corinthians 10:24, Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor.

Philippians 2:21, For they all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.

Brand New Book Excerpts Wouldn’t be wonderful to know that God hears and will answer your prayers without any doubt? It starts with righteousness. Righteousness is a free gift that you can obtain by faith in Jesus. It’s not a feeling. The worse sinners can become the righteousness in Christ. Most people prayers aren’t heard because of their lack of righteousness.

Proverbs 15:29 says, “The LORD is far from the wicked: but he hears the prayer of the righteous.” The prayers of the righteous avails much (James 5:16). So if you want results to your prayers accept the gift of righteousness.

Dear Heavenly Father, I come humbly but boldly to your throne. I confess my sins and repent Lord. I believe that Jesus died for me and I want him to come into my heart and have a relationship with me. Lord, wash me from all unrighteousness.

I decree that I am now the righteousness of God and I am alive and hidden in Christ Jesus. I decree that you Lord will hear and give me answers to my prayers as you will and not as I will. Thank you Lord, for answering this prayer in Jesus name Amen.

Are you being attacked because you stand for righteousness? Whenever you begin to live for God the enemy of our souls will cause people to attack you. They will falsely accuse you or betray you, etc.

If God is for you, who can be against you? You are blessed REJOICE ESSENTIAL MAY 2015 20

because you are suffering for righteousness sake (1 Peter 3:14). Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me (God) (Matthew 5:11-12). If you are suffering, God knows all and sees all. God will fight your battles for you if you keep your peace. You have the victory!

Dear Heavenly Father, I will praise your name. Lord,

I am suffering for righteousness sake. Lord, I ask for vindication which is my inheritance in the saints. Lord, I thank you for leading me in triumphal victory. I decree that no weapon formed against me shall prosper and every tongue that rises against me I shall condemn.

Lord, I thank you that I have the victory everywhere I go.

I will not be worried because you have already worked it out. Thank you, Jesus for answering this prayer. Amen.

Do you want every promise that the word of God says you can have? Receive the

gift of righteousness by faith through Jesus Christ and tap into these promises. Jesus died for your sins so you can become righteous. God withholds no good thing from the righteous (Psalms 84: 11). Those who seek the Lord lacked nothing (Psalms 34:10). What the righteous person desire will be granted (Proverbs 10:24).

The righteous will thrive (Proverbs 11:28). God’s blessing is on the righteous (Psalms 5:12). It will be well with the righteous and they will enjoy the fruit (benefits) of their deeds (Isaiah 3:10).

Receive this revelation and

walk in a new level with God!!!

Dear Heavenly Father, I know that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father except through him. I repent of my sins and receive him as my personal savior. I accept the free gift of righteousness. I decree that I will seek you first and your righteousness and everything else will be added to me.

Thank you, Lord that you hear the prayers of the righteous and deliver us from all our troubles. Thank you, Lord that the righteous are never for-

saken or their seed (children) begging for bread. Thank you, Lord that since I am the righteousness of God I will inherit the promise land. Thank you for answering this prayer in Jesus name Amen.

Do you want to live the victorious life? The righteous have victorious lives. When you look at the kings of the bible, there were a cycle of righteous Kings and evil Kings.

When the righteous King ruled, the Kingdom reigned because he honored God. When an evil King reigned, the nation would fall apart and degenerate.

Righteousness will rule and reign. You can inherit a mess and your righteousness will turn the situation around and make it beautiful. You can take over some chaotic situations caused by unrighteousness and it will bow its knee to righteousness and become beautiful. Receive this free gift of righteousness by faith through Jesus Christ.

Dear Heavenly Father, Lord, I come humbly before your throne and confess my sins. I repent Lord. Jesus I ask that you come into my heart and reign. Lord, I take the free gift of righteousness and I thank you for it. I decree that I will reign victorious in life because I am the righteousness of God. I decree and declare that I will have the victory everywhere I go.

I decree that no weapon formed against me shall prosper in the name of Jesus.

Thank you, that I have been set free because who the son sets free is free indeed. Thank you for answering this prayer in Jesus name Amen.

THE BENEFITS OF OBEDIENCE Wouldn’t you like to have everything that God promised you? No more lack but to be prosperous in all areas of your life? Wouldn’t you like God’s blessing to overtake you? Read a couple of chapters from Prophetess Kimberly Hargraves new book!

Are you in a trial and tribulation? Sometimes God will test you to see if you are faithful to him during the tough times. It is important to obey God so you don’t prolong your blessings or stay in the wilderness and complete the cycle again. Abraham passed the test when God told him offer up his son Isaac as a sacrifice.

Abraham went in faith and believed that God would raise his son from the dead. Abraham trusted God. God did not allow Abraham to sacrifice his son and provided a ram in the bush. Since Abraham obeyed God, God blessed him and multiplied his offspring (Genesis 22). Will you obey God and pass your test so he can bless you too?

Dear Heavenly Father, Lord, I ask you to create a pure heart in me and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Lord, bless me to please you and obey your commands.

Lord, I love you so I will obey you. I decree that I will pass the test. I decree that you will increase and multiplied everything that was lost or stolen from me because I obey you.

Thank you, Lord that you are faithful and you will get me through tough times. Thank you for answering this prayer in Jesus name Amen.

It is in our best interest to obey God. God knows best and his plans for your life are better than your own plans.

Begin to obey God so you can receive his best for your life.

Dear Heavenly Father,

How do you know if you really love God? You know that you love God when you obey his commandments. John 14:15 says, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” We are commanded to keep the commands of God. Deuteronomy 13:4 says,” You shall walk after the Lord your God and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice, and you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him.”

Lord, I desire to please you.

I decree that I will love the Lord my God with all my heart, soul, and might. Lord, I rebuke my flesh and put away from me all sinful desires.

Lord, I understand when I obey you your blessings will overtake me. I bind up and rebuke the spirit of disobedience in the name of Jesus.

SINNER’S PRAYER Salvation is the best gift that anyone can possibly have. Sometimes we get weary on our journey with the Lord. Sometimes we fall down in life. Sometimes we get lukewarm when God prefers you to be either hot or cold. No matter what God wants to give you another chance to get it right.

Did you know that time is short? Everyone has an expiration date! You will not live forever! You never know when it’s your time to go. It could seem like a normal day, but then someone ends up passing away unexpectantly. Think about how many people you hear who went to work and never came back home. We see this often, where someone is here today and gone tomorrow.

For instance, a plane crashes suddenly and many innocent lives are lost. Psalm 103:15 says, “Man’s days are like the grass.” The grass will eventually wither and die. This life is a journey and we need to realize that this is not our final home. What we do here on earth determines our final resting place, heaven or hell. Jesus wants to have a relationship with REJOICE ESSENTIAL MAY 2015 26

you as you go through this journey in life. Don’t spend another day living with Jesus as your Lord and savior.

Do you recognize the significance of Jesus dying on the cross? Most people feel like He died only for our sins. However, He also died for our sorrows and our healing. Additionally, He died so you can become righteous. 1 Peter 2:24 says, “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”

Jesus took 39 lashes on the cross for every sickness, sorrow, and your sins (Deuteronomy 25:3).

Isaiah 53:5 says, “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and

with his stripes we are healed.”

Isaiah 53:4 says, “Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.” He loved you so much that he became that sacrificial lamb. You should have died for your wickedness but Jesus stood in your place. John 15:13 says, “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.”

Many times, we take His sacrifice for granted.

When we deliberate sin, we are nailing Jesus back on the cross. Don’t put Jesus back on the cross.

He has already suffered so much for you. Jesus stood in the gap for you so now God can look at you and see His son.

Read this prayer out loud if you want Jesus to come

inside of your heart.

Lord, I believe that you died on the cross for my sins. Romans 10:19 says, “Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. “ I make you Lord and Savior of my life. Lord, I desire to have a relationship with you. Lord, I confess any sins of ___________. I repent Lord for all my sins. Wash me in your blood in Jesus name. Lord, I want to spend eternity with you

once I leave this earth. I ask you for forgiveness.

Lord, I pray that I will walk in a manner that is pleasing to you in Jesus name.

I will bless your Holy name! You are Righteous and Holy! I repent of my sins. I repent for backsliding. I repent for nailing Jesus back on the cross! I want Jesus to come into my heart again and live there! Thank you Father for loving me so much that you sent your only begotten son (John 3:16).

Jesus, I am so thankful

emotion that I would ever face whether it is depression or despair.

Dear Heavenly Father, I will praise you with everything that I have within me. You are so good. I thank you for your grace and mercy. I humble myself. I am nothing but you are everything to me.

I am thankful that I get to experience motherhood and I do not take that for granted.

Forgive me for complaining and not praying as much as I should.

A wife of noble character who can find? I am worth far more than rubies. My husband has full confidence in me and lacks nothing of value. I will bring him good, not harm, all the days of my life. I select wool and flax and works with eager hands.

I am like the merchant ships, bringing food from afar. I get up while it is still dark; I provide food for my family and portions for my servant girls.

I consider a field and buy it; out of my earnings I plant a vineyard. I set about my work vigorously; my arms are strong for my tasks. I see that my trading is profitable, and my lamp does not go out at night. In my hand I hold the distaff and grasp the spindle with my fingers. I open my arms to the poor and extend my hands to the needy. When it snows, I have no fear for my household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet.

I make coverings for my bed; I am clothed in fine linen and purple. My husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.”

LOOKING FOR PEACE? Sometimes things around you in life can fall apart or not go as planned? However, if you stay connected to the vine which is Jesus Christ, you will have the peace that surpasses all understanding. God wants to give you peace today!

Are you struggling with an area of your life today and looking for peace? As children of God, we might be going through a storm.

It’s important to not allow the storm on the outside to get inside of us. When you know who you belong to, you have an advantage.

You will realize that no matter what circumstance you face, you will come out victorious. Somehow deep down, you know that God will make a way. You know eventually He will come through for you. If you just hang on to the hem of His garment, you will get pass the wind and the waves.

God will supernaturally give you peace. John 14:27 says, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” In other words, you can have chaos all around you but God will keep you in perfect peace. As a child of God you can overcome.

The things that you went through or are going through, other people would have lost their minds. God cares and loves you so much that he became a shield around you.

Jesus came and He off took some of the heavy load you were carrying. Matthew 11:28-30 says, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take

my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” No matter what hell you are facing, God has kept your mind when the enemy of our souls tried to take you out. God wants to you rest. How do you know when you enter into the rest of God? You know because you will have the peace of God. Philippians 4:6-7 says, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Don’t worry about your situation. God began to work for you the first time you prayed. Put that energy elsewhere and activate your faith.

Take a stand on the word of God. Face your giants and declare the word of God. Spend time in the presence of the Lord to receive peace. Psalm 16:11 says, “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Tell your storm to be still and know that He is God (Psalm 46:10).

Dear Heavenly Father, I exalt your name! I can’t do anything apart from you. John 15:5 says, “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” Thank you, Lord for your spirit! Zechariah 4:6 says, “Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of hosts.”

Thank you, Lord for giving me peace in the midst of my storms.

John 16:33 says, “That in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation.

But take heart; I have overcome the world.” I decree that I will have the victory. I am so grateful that I can rest safely in your salvation and cling on to your words. Psalm 40:1-3 says, “I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry.

He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God.” Thank you, Lord for bringing me out of troubles and setting me up for success. Thank you, Lord for answering this prayer in Jesus name Amen.

FACING LONELINESS No one likes to feel lonely. It can be hurtful. God understands your pain. Do you trust Him to bring you through the lonely season? Remember you are not alone! Your lonely season will not last forever.

Sometimes in life we get lonely.

Deep down, we all desire to be loved, to have companionship, and to be with other people. Many times we can feel all alone even if we are around other people.

Oftentimes, we have to go through lonely seasons. During those seasons, we feel as though no one cares, understands or people are just too busy. This is the season where no one else is around except God. Lonely seasons can be painful.

However, it is your chance to grow spiritually. That pain can help you learn how to truly praise God. You may feel lonely but you are not alone. God is with you.

Isaiah 41:10 says, “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” You do not have to be afraid of the lonely seasons because God will get you through them. When you get weak and ready to give up, God will provide you with his strength. During your darkest times, God will hold you up and surround you with his love, his peace, and his comfort.

1 Samuel 12:22 says, “For the LORD will not forsake his people, for his great name’s sake, because it has pleased the LORD to make you a people for himself.” During your lonely season, this is when the hand of God will begin to mold and shape you into the image of his son, Jesus Christ. God is the potter

REJOICE ESSENTIAL MAY 2015 32

and we are the clay (Isaiah 64:8).

God wants to show himself strong in your life and your circumstance.

God will get the glory out of your circumstance.

During this season, you cannot have many people around you because you are pregnant with destiny. The enemy will use the people closest to you to abort your baby. If it’s God’s will, he will replace the right people into your life in the next season. He will also weed the wrong people out. However, your destiny, your purpose, and your relationship with God are too important. Sometimes you have to go through to get to. You have to go through the loneliness for a season to get to the blessing or the promise land.

John 14:18 says, “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.”

Everyone else might have left you, however God will be with you. God says in Joshua 1:5 that just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not leave you or forsake you.

Sometimes, it may even feel that God himself has left you. You need to realize that the teacher is quiet during the test. God is sitting back and watching you to see what you are going to do.

Are you going to give up on God because the trial seems too hard?

Or will you stand still and believe the word of God? Remember there is a season for everything. Your

season for loneliness will not last forever. God has the right husband, wife, or friends just for you. God is working on the other side of the mountain. Focus on God during this season and things will begin to fall into place. God says in Matthew 28:20 that he will be with you always, to the end of the age.

Dear Heavenly Father, Lord I come boldly to your throne of grace to obtain mercy in my time of need (Hebrews 4:16). Jesus you understand the pain that I am feeling because Hebrews 4:15 says “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.” Lord, help me to overcome this burden of loneliness. I decree that I will cast all my cares upon you (Psalm 55:22).

Lord, I decree Isaiah 26:3 over myself that you will keep me in perfect peace because my mind is stayed on you. I plead the blood of Jesus over my mind and emotions.

I bind up the spirit of loneliness, rejection, and abandonment in the name of Jesus. I decree that I am set free because who the son sets free is free indeed (John 8:36). I decree that my morning is here! Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5).

Thank you for answering this prayer in Jesus name Amen.

HEALTHY LIVING God wants his people to be healthy and for them to live a long life. He wants us to care for our bodies because they are his temple here on earth.

Too many of God’s people are unhealthy. In the western diet, there is more of a consumption of meat and starches instead of vegetables. The meat is often the largest portion on the dinner place. Westerns are always on the go and prepare foods that are more convenient to cook. Instead of cooking a home cook meal, they will stop and get a hamburger and fries from a fast food chain. This type of diet can cause severe health problems in the long run.

Complications include heart problems, diabetes, stroke, and high blood pressure. God wants his people to be in good health and to be prosperous (3 John 2).

When was the last time that you ate vegetables? The darker the vegetable the more healthier it is for your body.

According to Winston Craig, PH.D, Leafy vegetables are ideal for weight management as they are typically low in calories. They are useful in reducing the risk of cancer and heart disease since they are low in fat, high in dietary fiber, and rich in folic acid, vitamin C, potassium and magnesium, as well as containing a host of phytochemicals, such as lutein, beta-cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, and beta-carotene.

One study showed that an increment of one daily serving of green leafy vegetables, lowered the risk of cardiovascular disease by 11 percent. In the Adventist health study, the frequent consumption of green salads by African-Americans was associated with a substantially

lower risk of mortality.1

2 cloves garlic, finely sliced

Because of their high magnesium content and low glycemic index, green leafy vegetables are also valuable for persons with type 2 diabetes.1 Green leafy vegetables are rich in beta-carotene, which can also be converted into vitamin A, and also improve immune function. Millions of children around the world have an increased risk of blindness, and other illnesses because of inadequate dietary vitamin A from green leafy vegetables.1 Green, leafy vegetables provide a great variety of colors from the bluish-green of kale to the bright kelly green of spinach. Leafy greens run the whole gamut of flavors, from sweet to bitter, from peppery to earthy. Young plants generally have small, tender leaves and a mild flavor.

Many mature plants have tougher leaves and stronger flavors.1 Here is a simple Kale recipe.

1/2 cup vegetable stock or water

Total Time: 15 min Prep: 5 min Cook: 10 min Yield: 4 servings Level: Easy Ingredients 1 1/2 pounds young kale, stems and leaves coarsely chopped 3 tablespoons olive oil

TESTIMONIES The enemy is overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony (Revelation 12:11). When we share testimonies, our faith increases! We start to believe God for the impossilbe! We can see the power and the hand of God in any situation. God can turn any test into a testimony! We know if God did it befoe, he can do it again. Our testimonies glorify God!

I was born in a Christian family. I went to church regularly but I did not receive Jesus as my savior. During my college days I use to watch films weekly in theater once in week. But I could not change my habit. One of my committed Christian friends told me about Jesus when I was admitted to the hospital with severe fever and breathing problems. She told me to pray every day and morning for my health. She told me I should give more importance to Jesus so that I can live a happy and healthy life. I asked God’s forgiveness for my sins and accepted Jesus as my personal savior. Even though I received Christ sometimes I worried in difficult situations. When I read 2timothy1:7 God does not give fear of spirit but he gives power of God, love and sound mind. After I read this I stopped worrying in difficult situations. --Irene God blessed me and kept me alive when I was homeless and had no one. He showed me forgiveness and that he was there and cared and gave me joy and hope and I’m expecting all he’s promised me in his word. I’m believing not saying, “well if god loves me”; He does! He showed me. Amen. Praise God. --- Angela

I was 7 or 8 years old. I was abused. I was a reject; my own mother disowned me and wished me dead. I didn’t know love at all. I was sexually and physically abused by different people because no one cared for me and no really cared if I lived or died.

One day someone told me that Jesus Christ loved me and died for me and bought me and I said how can he love a person like me I’m a sinner and deserve to die and go to hell but I’m glad I gave him my whole life and taught me how to love and forgive. He also healed me and gave me a right mind and just love singing for him.-- Mary I had been smoking for 13 years.

I attempted to quit 2 times.

Each time was full of headaches, iraitability moments, and

strong temptations. When I quit 2 months ago, it was so easy. I really wanted to quit for him. I prayed for help. I had about 5 cravings. Each one only lasted seconds. Every time I started to have a craving I asked Jesus to take it from me, and it was instantly gone. Glory to God! Thank you Jesus! ---Patrick D. I was just about 8 years old when the devil laid hold of me. He used me for many sinful things. I was disrespecting everybody , stealing money every where I go, lustful; I did many things that are very sinful.

But through it all I used to go to church regularly but did not know God. I was only going to church because I felt that it was a style of fashion.

The devil used me to do many sinful things which I didn’t even

understand. It even got to a time when I wanted to stop all the bad things I was doing but I coudn’t because it had already gone deep down In my spirit.

One day, one of my Junior High School teachers who is also a Pastor preached in my school and the words fell on my heart and swept the dirty deeds away from my heart then he prayed for me and I received Salvation and I became free from the devil.

Even after the prayers the devil still wanted to use me more but the power of God had already been established in my Spirit.

So I let go of all my past and moved on as a new creation.--By: Michael
