Wise UP Messages for Mom’s • Proverbs 24:3–4 • Additional Scripture Readings: Joshua 24:15- Proverbs 2:1–6 • When we think of the wise, we might picture esteemed scholars padding through hallowed halls of learning. In their hushed offices and remote library stacks, they seem to have a monopoly on wisdom and understanding. • But where does wisdom really come from? How do moms like you and me wise up? • From living life well. Wisdom grows when moms and dads make careful choices about their priorities and the amount of time they spend with their children. It arises when arguments are settled with sane solutions and siblings are coaxed to peace. • It develops when families work together to squeeze extras from meager incomes. It blossoms when celebrations mark special achievements. Most of all, wisdom comes from living all of life’s days with an attitude of desiring and working toward God’s best in our families. • Wisdom doesn’t necessarily come from hallowed halls of learning. Sure, learned folks are smart enough. But the truly wise are those who learn to live life well, day in and day out. • Have Faith in God for every decision, and he will deposit Wisdom Daily. 4

Rebekah Autobiography

•

Rebekah Her name means: "Loop" or "Tie" Her character: Hardworking and generous, her faith was so great that she left her home forever to marry a man she had never seen or met. Yet she played favorites with her sons and failed to trust God fully for the promise he had made. Her sorrow: That she was barren for the first twenty years of her married life, and that she never again set eyes on her favorite son, Jacob, after he fled from his brother Esau. Her joy: That God had gone to extraordinary lengths to pursue her, to invite her to become part of his people and his promises. Key Scriptures: Genesis 24; 25:19-34; 26:1-28:9 Her Story The sun was dipping beyond the western rim of the sky as the young woman approached the well outside the town of Nahor, five hundred miles northeast of Canaan. It was women's work to fetch fresh water each evening, and Rebekah hoisted the brimming jug to her shoulder, welcoming its cooling touch against her skin. As she turned to go, a stranger greeted her, asking for a drink. Obligingly, she offered to draw water for his camels as well. Rebekah noticed the look of surprised pleasure that flashed across his face. Ten camels could put away a lot of water, she knew. But had she overheard his whispered prayer just moments earlier, her astonishment would have exceeded his: "O Lord, God of my master Abraham, give me success today, and show kindness to my master Abraham. May it be that when I say to a girl, 'Please let down your jar that I may have a drink,' and she says, 'Drink, and I'll water your camels too'—let her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac." A simple gesture. A generous response. A young woman's future altered in a moment's time. The man Rebekah encountered at the well, Abraham's servant, had embarked on a sacred mission—to find Isaac a wife from among Abraham's own people rather than from among the surrounding Canaanites. Like her great-aunt Sarah before her, Rebekah would make the journey south to embrace a future she could hardly glimpse. Betrothed to a man twice her age, whose name meant "Laughter," she felt a sudden giddiness rise inside her. The God of Abraham and Sarah was wooing her, calling her name and no other, offering a share in the promise. God was forging a new nation to be his own people. Isaac was forty when he first set eyes on Rebekah. Perhaps his heart echoed the joy of that first man, "Here at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh!" So Isaac and Rebekah entered the tent of his mother Sarah and made love. And the Bible says that Rebekah comforted Isaac after the death of his mother. Rebekah was beautiful and strong like Sarah, yet she bore no children for the first twenty years of her life with Isaac. Would she suffer as Sarah did the curse of barrenness? Isaac prayed and God heard, giving her not one, but two sons, who wrestled inside her womb. And God told her: "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger."

•

During the delivery, Jacob grasped the heel of his brother Esau, as though striving for first position. Though second by birth, he was first in his mother's affections. But his father loved Esau best. Years later, when Isaac was old and nearly blind, he summoned his firstborn, Esau. "Take your quiver and bow and hunt some wild game for me. Prepare the kind of meal I like, and I will give you my blessing before I die." But the clever Rebekah overheard and called quickly to Jacob, suggesting a scheme to trick the blessing from Isaac. Disguised as Esau, Jacob presented himself to his father for the much-coveted blessing. Isaac then blessed Jacob, thinking he was blessing Esau: "May nations serve you and peoples bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed and those who bless you be blessed." Isaac had stretched out his hand and passed the choicest blessing to his younger son, thus recalling the words spoken about the two children jostling for position in Rebekah's womb. The benediction thus given could not be withdrawn, despite the deceit, despite Esau's tears, and despite his vow to kill Jacob. Afraid lest Esau take revenge, Rebekah persuaded Isaac to send Jacob north to find a wife from among her brother Laban's daughters. As the years passed, Rebekah must have longed to embrace her younger son, hoping for the privilege of enfolding his children in her embrace. But more than twenty years would pass before Jacob returned. And though Isaac would live to welcome his son, Rebekah would not. When Rebekah was a young girl, God had invited her to play a vital role in the story of his people. He had gone to great lengths to pursue her. Like Sarah, she would become a matriarch of God's people, and like Sarah, her heart would divide itself between faith and doubt, believing that God's promise required her intervention. Finding it difficult to rest in the promise God had made, she resorted to trickery to achieve it.

•

The results, mirroring her own heart, were mixed. Though Jacob indeed became heir to the promise, he was driven from his home and the mother who loved him too well. In addition, he and his descendants would forever be at odds with Esau and his people, the Edomites. Two thousand years later, Herod the Great, who hailed from Idumea (the Greek and Roman name for Edom) would slaughter many innocent children in his attempt to destroy the infant Jesus. Yet God was still at work, graciously using a woman whose response to him was far less than perfect, in order to accomplish his purposes. Her Promise Rebekah heard Abraham's servant describe how he had prayed and how he was sure she was the woman God intended for Isaac. God himself had divinely orchestrated the events. Rebekah seemed to have known that and, when asked, answered simply, "I will go." Did Rebekah fully realize God's plan for her? Was she open to following that plan? Or was she simply entranced with the romantic notions of a young girl looking for her knight in shining armor? Whatever her motivation, the events were planned by God, and he was able and willing to faithfully continue to fulfill his promises through her. God's faithfulness, despite our waywardness and contrariness, is evident both throughout Scripture and throughout our lives. He will be faithful; he promises.

Gabriel (The Messenger Archangel)

•

Gabriel's name means 'God is my strength. Gabriel is the Angel of child conception or the process of adopting a child. This archangel also helps anyone whose life purpose involves art or communication. Defender of the Element of Water and of the West. The Angel of resurrection, mercy and peace and benefactor of " messengers". Purity, rebirth, creativity, prophecy, purifying your thoughts, body and emotions.Communication & the Arts. Patron Angel of all who work in the field of communications. postal workers, and clergy. Gabriel (Hebrew: ,‫ ַּגב ְִריאֵ ל‬Modern Gavri'el Tiberian Gaḇrîʼēl, God is my strength; Arabic: ,‫جبريل‬Jibrīl or ‫جبرائيل‬ JibrāʾīlIn the Bible, Gabriel is mentioned in both the Old and New Testaments. In the Old Testament, he appeared to the prophet Daniel, delivering explanations of Daniel's visions (Daniel 8:-vs-5–26,-and- 9-vs-21–27). In the Gospel of Luke, Gabriel appeared to Zecharias, and to the virgin Mary foretelling the births of John the Baptist and Jesus, respectively (Luke 1-vs-1–38). In the Book of Daniel, he is referred to as "the man Gabriel", while in the Gospel of Luke, Gabriel is referred to as "an angel of the Lord" (Luke 1-vs-11). Gabriel is not called an archangel in the Bible.Gabriel is interpreted by the Rabbanim to be the "man in linen" in the Book of Daniel and the Book of Ezekiel. In the Book of Daniel, he is responsible for interpreting Daniel's visions. Gabriel's main function in Daniel is that of revealer, a role he continues in later literature. In the Book of Ezekiel, Gabriel is understood to be the angel that was sent to destroy Jerusalem. According to the Jewish Encyclopedia, Gabriel takes the form of a man, and stands at the left hand of God.]Simeon ben Lakish (Palestine, 3rd century) concluded that the angelic names of Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel came out of the Babylonian exile.

•

In Kabbalah, Gabriel is identified with the sephirot of Yesod. Gabriel also has a prominent role as one of God's archangels in the Kabbalah literature. There, Gabriel is portrayed as working in concert with Michael as part of God's court. Gabriel is not to be prayed to; because only God can answer prayers, and sends Gabriel as His agent.

•

According to Jewish, in the garden of Eden there is a tree of life or the "tree of souls" that blossoms and produces new souls, which fall into the Guf, the Treasury of Souls. Gabriel reaches into the treasury and takes out the first soul that comes into his hand. Then Lailah, the Angel of Conception, watches over the embryo until it is born. Gabriel's horn

The trope of Gabriel blowing a trumpet blast to indicate the Lord's return to Earth is especially familiar passages. However, though the Bible mentions a trumpet blast preceding the resurrection of the dead, it never specifies Gabriel as the trumpeter. Different passages say different things: the angels of the Son of Man (Matthew 24-vs31); the voice of the Son of God (John 5-vs-25-29); God's trumpet (I Thessalonians 4:-vs-16); seven angels sounding a series of blasts (Revelation 8-vs-11); or simply "a trumpet will sound" (I Corinthians 15-vs-52). He is a powerful and strong Archangel, and those who call upon God to activate him will find themselves pushed into action that leads to beneficial results. Gabriel can bring messages to you just as he did to Elizabeth and Mary of the impending births of their sons, John the Baptist and Jesus of Nazareth. If you are considering starting a family, Gabriel helps hopeful parents with conception or through the process of adopting a child-or-being barren in your womb spiritually. Ask God to send and activate Gabriel if your third eye is closed and your spiritual vision is therefore blocked. If you need to obtain visions of Angelic guidance regarding the direction you are going in. If you need to obtain prophecies of the changes ahead. If you need help in interpreting your dreams and vision. Gabriel helps anyone whose life purpose involves the arts or communication. He acts as a coach, inspiring and motivating artists, journalist and communicators and helping them to overcome fear and procrastination. Gabriel also helps us to find our true calling. Ask for God to send Gabriel's guidance if you have strayed from your soul's pathway, if you need to understand your life plan and purpose. He can also help if you can find no reason for being or if changes are ahead and you need guidance. If you are contemplating a house move, major purchase or thinking of changing careers. Call Gabriel if your body is full of toxins and needs purifying and if your thoughts are impure or negative and need clearing and cleansing. Gabriel is also very helpful for women who have been raped or sexually assaulted and feel dirty as well as being under psychic,witchcraft, and demonic attacks or if you feel that you have absorbed someone else's problems.

Writer of the Month Danielle Taylor

Apostle Teyshana: What is your Desire for the Body of Christ? Prophetess Danielle: My desire for the body of Christ... My honest desire is that of what God has desired, is that we learn his ways, in other words get on his agenda. That we allow HIS will to be done in the body of Christ and not our own wills. My Destiny is to minister to the Body of Christ, to help build up the Kingdom of God, to encourage those that have been turned off from the love of God. Here is a sample of her writing and short stories: Ornitha Danielle invites you on a wild and fierce excursion through lies, betrayal, deception, and infidelity with some misguided trust, past and deep childhood hurt and broken relationships all wrapped up in some very steamy volcanic explosions. London Santiago is not your stereotypical woman; she comes from a Christian family home with devoted parents of the faith. She has the best of everything in her world a great education, money, and all the finer things that her career has offered her. While in college, she landed an internship at Golden Money Entertainment, one of the largest Entertainment companies in New York City. She was offered the job of Executive Director of Marketing & Promotions straight out of college. Now, with her killer looks, dynamite body, and brains to boot, London quickly catches the attention of Mr. Paul Winters, the owner of the company and not so eligible bachelor. When the Mrs. Winters finds out about it, only one can imagine what will happen next; she is adamant on bringing this to a complete halt! Mrs. Winters has a few things that must remain hidden under lock and key! Oh, what a tangled web they all weave when each of them conspire to deceive. What is done in the dark will eventually come to the light. My, my, my! The wages of sin is DEATH! PURCHASE A COPY: http://www.sofyhmagazineonline.com/2012/06/purchase-yourcopy.html?...

7 Steps being a successful Person At Startups.co, we’ve made it a habit to study the trajectory of entrepreneurs on their paths to success, and from our qualitative observations, we’ve noticed that there are definitely some common habits that have helped them succeed along the way. From ice cream powerhouses to ecommerce pros, here are some traits from great founders that I’ve observed and tried to emulate throughout my 20-year career as an entrepreneur. 1. Treat Customer Opinion Like Currency Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, the founders of the eponymous Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, consider their customers to be a huge driver in their creative process and the success of their company. From the moment they opened their original location—a rundown garage in Vermont—they constantly polled customers on their opinion on new flavors. When Ben & Jerry’s was big enough to start selling stock, they held statewide community meetings. Never forgetting their original customer base, any resident of Vermont who wanted to buy part of Ben & Jerry’s was given the opportunity. The company continues to give back on a global level, and the founders continue to be directly involved with customer suggestions, frequently sorting through customers’ emails and letters themselves. 2. Be Confident in Your Expertise As the co-founder of HTC, Cher Wang is one of the most wealthy and powerful entrepreneurs. She’s also one of the least well known, which she admits is a conscious decision that allows her to focus on the most important aspect of her business – creating quietly brilliant mobile devices. In the beginning of her career, Cher worked for a computer company that required her to transport unwieldy computer boxes while navigating train stations in Europe, where she was selling motherboards. She began to dream of the convenience and portability of a mobile computing solution. Years later, when Cher and her executive team were forced to make a choice on the direction of their company, and choose between hand-held devices or notebooks, Cher confidently urged that they make cell phones a top priority. Her confidence and expertise in her field led to an extremely profitable move for HTC. Within a few years, 1 in 6 cell phones purchased in the United States was an HTC model. 3. Become a Great Spokesperson Steve Jobs remains a constant inspiration and study for entrepreneurs looking to improve their presentation skills. In a world of wordy PowerPoint presentations, Steve Jobs was a maverick spokesperson. Steve valued visuals over verbal, and put on a show for each new product he was unveiling. His presentations looked so effortless that few would guess they were the result of countless hours of preparation and an entire team dedicated to making each inflection and movement perfect. Jobs was meticulous in his preparation and rehearsal and considered it to be a large part of his job. Jobs is a great reminder that no one is born a great spokesperson – it’s a skill that must be cultivated, practiced, and rehearsed.

4. Remain Humble Tony Hseih, the founder of Zappos, is notorious for his humility and approachability – so much so that he included “Be Humble” as one of the core values of his company. After founding a successful technology company, Tony was certain that the health of his company and culture was dependent on the rapport built by an equal playing field. No matter the level of talent, if a job candidate shows any egotistical tendencies, Zappos will look for a candidate with a better attitude. Tony himself strives to be a model of this core value, forgoing an executive office for a desk in the middle of a sea of cubicles, and maintaining personal relationships with employees despite Zappos’ enormous success. 5. Let Passion Drive Your Business John Mackey did not come up with the idea for Whole Foods overnight. He spent years working and living in urban food communes and was a member of three separate food co-ops. He learned some important lessons from his time there, and it sparked a fire to improve the quality of food and products for customers on a larger scale. According to Mackey, his desire to create a better food supplier is what led him to become an entrepreneur, turning his passion into a household name. Mackey is a huge proponent of work bringing satisfaction beyond a paycheck, and has used this philosophy in his hiring practices. In his (semi-autobiographical) book, he says that his goal is to create an environment where everyone is “so engaged in work that it feels like a calling.” 6. Embrace Obstacles Elon Musk is an entrepreneur who knows very well the risk of starting a new endeavor. After a successful exit from Paypal, Musk netted an estimated $165 million, and could have retired for life. An entrepreneur at heart, Musk was not content to give up his passion for starting companies, and chose his next two ventures because of the challenges they presented: SpaceX, a rocketbuilding and space transporting company, and Tesla Motors, a high-performance electric sports car manufacturer. Creating radical technology for the automotive and aerospace industries at the same time almost sent a well-capitalized Musk into bankruptcy. After several failed rocket launches and a rapidly depleting tranche of capital behind Tesla Motors, many doubted that Musk could carry on. Many would have cut their losses and moved on to a new industry, but Musk embraced the challenge, and found success as a result. After successfully launching a spacecraft into orbit, SpaceX signed a $1.6 billion contract with NASA. Tesla Motors launched its initial public offering in June 2010, raising $226 million and has sold over 7,000 Tesla vehicles.

7. Value and Reward Great Employees Few CEOs are as revered by their employees as Herb Kelleher, the founder of Southwest Airlines – and for good reason. This month, Southwest Airlines announced that all workers will share in a record $228 million profit-sharing payout this year. Southwest has a long history of profit-sharing and employee stock offering, as well as unparalleled employee benefits. Herb has made employee satisfaction the top priority of his business since its founding. According to Herb, “Employees come first. And if you treat your employees right, guess what? Your customers come back, and that makes your shareholders happy. Start with employees and the rest follows from that.” Herb credits the success of Southwest to his productive and motivated staff, even going so far as planning an entire advertising campaign extolling his employees’ customer service as Southwest Airlines’ strongest advantage over the competition. Whether you’re a veteran entrepreneur or aspiring startup founder, it’s incredibly valuable to study and learn from those that have come—and succeeded—before you. It has been a critical part of my growth as an entrepreneur and I couldn’t have founded or successfully exited from past companies without great advice from passionate mentors. If you’re interested in picking my brain or hearing more entrepreneurial tips, follow or message me @wilschroter and I’d be happy to continue the conversation.

Harriet Tubman, a woman who stood 7â&#x20AC;&#x2122;ft TALL

• • • •

•

• •

•

Born c.1820. Because she was a slave, and owners did not record their slaves' birthdates, the exact date of Harriet's birth is unknown -- different accounts list 1820 or 1821. BIRTH PLACE: Edward Brodas plantation near Bucktown, Dorchester County, Maryland. EDUCATION: Because of her indentured status, Harriet was denied the opportunity for education -- leaving her illiterate her entire life. Slaveowners did not want their slaves to know how to read or write. FAMILY BACKGROUND: Born into slavery on Maryland's Eastern Shore, Harriet's ancestors had been brought to America in shackles from Africa during the first half of the 18th Century. Harriet was the 11th child born to Benjamin Ross and Harriet Greene (slaves of Edward Brodas), her given name was Araminta and she was often called "Minty" as a child. But by the time she was an adult, she was calling herself Harriet. As was the custom for many slaves, Harriet began working at an early age. When five years old, she was first sent away from home, "loaned out" to another plantation, checking muskrat traps in icy cold rivers. She quickly became too sick to work and was returned, malnourished and suffering from the cold exposure. Once she recovered, she was loaned out to another plantation, working as a nurse to the planter's infant child. By the age of 12, she was working as a field hand, plowing and hauling wood. At 13, while defending a fellow slave who tried to run away, her overseer struck her in the head with a two-pound weight. This resulted in recurring narcoleptic seizures, or sleeping spells, that plagued her the rest of her life. In 1844, at about the age of 25, Harriet married John Tubman, a freeman. She gained permission to marry him from her owners and lived with him in his cabin, but she was required to continue working for her master. When Harriet told John of her dreams of one day gaining her freedom, he told her that she would never be free and, if she tried running away, he would turn her in. On one of her first return visits to Maryland, Harriet went to John's cabin in hopes of getting him to go north with her. She found that he had taken another wife. Later in 1869, she married Nelson Davis. She never had any children. ACCOMPLISHMENTS: The Biblical story of Exodus in which Moses freed the Israelites from slavery in Egypt to freedom in Israel, saw repetition in the years before the Civil War when Harriet Tubman freed over 300 blacks from slavery in the South to freedom in the North. For her commendable work she herself was nicknamed "Moses." Despite the hardships inflicted upon her and the unfairness of them, Harriet used her labors for self discipline and set for herself the goal of escaping to the North. She accomplished this goal in 1849, when alone and on foot she ran away from the plantation in the middle of the night and followed the north star to free land in Pennsylvania. It ” that she and two of her brothers were to be sold to a came about after her master died and she heard rumors chain gang. Her brothers left with her, but became scared, deciding not to take the risk, and so returned to the plantation. She traveled only at night, until she knew she had crossed the border between slaveholding and nonslaveholding states. She later said: "I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person now I was free. There was such a glory over everything ... and I felt like I was in heaven." Harriet had bravely won her freedom, but realizing how alone she was, she made a vow that she would help her family and friends win their freedom as well. She went to Philadelphia, found work cooking, laundering and scrubbing, and saved money to finance rescue trips. She became involved with the city's large and active abolitionist (anti-slavery) organizations and with organizers of the Underground Railroad, a secret network through which slaves were helped in escaping from bondage in the South to freedom in the North and Canada. Using the Wilmington, Delaware, home of Quaker abolitionist Thomas Garrett (1789-1871) as a checkpoint, Harriet Tubman undertook some 20 hazardous missions in which she covertly journeyed down south, pinpointed slaves, and led them to freedom up north, at times going as far as Canada. In leading these flights, with a long rifle in hand, she warned her escapees that, if any of them even considered surrendering or returning, the penalty would be death. Her persuasiveness was evident in that never on any of her missions did she lose a "passenger" on the Underground Railroad. In addition to her nickname "Moses," for her bravery Harriet was dubbed "General" Tubman by the militant abolitionist John Brown, with whom she worked in Canada. William Still (who recorded activities of the Underground Railroad) described her as: "a woman of no pretensions, indeed, a more ordinary specimen of humanity could hardly be found among the most unfortunate-looking farm hands of the South. Yet, in point of courage, shrewdness and disinterested exertions to rescue her fellow-men ... she was without her equal."

Believer is the Children of Light By Apostle Trina Davis

• • •

•

1.The light not darkness is the nature of believers. 2. Light bears the things of life the fruit of the Spirit. 3. Light shows what is acceptable and pleasing. For you were once darkness but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light. For the fruit of the light consists in all goodness righteousness and truth and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible this is why it is said wake up oh sleeper rise from the dead and Christ will shine on you. By Apostle Trina Davis

Who is your Strong Tower? By Chief Apostle Claudia Boatwright • • • •

• •

• • • •

• •

“The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe.” Proverbs 18:10 Although we might not realize it, we all have a strong tower. Our strong tower can be identified by the stronghold(s) that are apparent in our lives. Our ability to endure in the times of adversity, calamity and devastation is dependent upon the strength of whatever is supporting us – and the guidelines that are already established in our minds. Proverbs 18:10 tells us that the NAME of the Lord is a strong tower. So this is establishing that it doesn’t matter whatever oppositions may come my way – if I can attach a name to that “problem” – the NAME of the Lord will override that adverse situation. Every tower in our lives has the ability to become subjected to the strongest tower – which should be the Lord. For example– cancer is only a name; lack - only a name; poverty – only a name; it doesn’t matter what NAME something has been assigned. If you can identify it by ITS name; then there is another NAME that will overpower, override and completely eradicate that situation. Hallelujah!!! However, usually our problem is that we have “ungodly strongholds” established in our minds. Therefore, we have conditioned ourselves to run into the lesser towers instead of the ultimate Strong Tower. Nahum 1:7 reminds us that the Lord is a good and strong hold in the day of trouble. So since He is a “strong hold” – we should establish Him as our “stronghold”. Now in reverse, Proverbs 12:12 states that the wicked desire the stronghold of evildoers (NIV). (Note: there is a difference between the wicked and the unsaved; you can be saved and still have wicked ways!) So, begin to recondition mind – prior to the onset of trouble. Start by daily confessing – out loud - my mind is renewed! Confess that, “Lord, you are my strong tower and my stronghold”. Then in the natural – you must call upon the Lord FIRST when problems or adverse conditions arise. Instead of running to your phone, instead of texting someone, instead of running to: FB, Twitter, Instagram, or Periscope – Go to the Lord first! It’s only when we learn to acknowledge Him FIRST in ALL of our ways that we can make the statement that He is the Lord of our lives…that He is our strong tower. Then we will yield to His guidance and He will be able to direct our path and give us the peace that surpasses all understanding….. allowing us to be more than conquerors – REGARDLESS! “Where does your security lie? Is God your refuge, your hiding place, your stronghold, your shepherd, your counselor, your friend, your redeemer, your Saviour, your guide? If He is, you don't need to search any further for security.” Elisabeth Elliot

Prayer For Our Children Freedom By Apostle Teyshana Wiley â&#x20AC;˘

I Cast out all brujeria witchcraft, sorcery, demonic forces, phantom, anarchy, doom, destruction, demonic relics, and unscriptural prayers in the name of Jesus. All yokes, oxen, shackle, cord, habits, addiction, chains, and cycles are destroyed now in the name of Jesus. I cast imprisonment, suicide, murder, depression, fighting, gossip, anger, rejection, abandonment, disappointments, neglect, fatherless, motherless, hurt, pain, abuse of all kinds and format, rage, wrath, tyranny, lusts of the mind, and flesh in the name of Jesus. I send it all to the dry places in the name of Jesus. No weapon form against our children shall prosper in the name of Jesus.

The Lord alone is our children refuge, and place of safety in him we trust in the name of Jesus. I plead the blood of Jesus over our children from the crown of their heads, to the soul of their feet. I Command, Decree, and Prophesy over our youth and children to be ignited for revival in their spirits in the name of Jesus. Lord, come to their rooms on tonight, and call them by name like you did the Prophet Samuel. Give them the revelations, wisdom, knowledge, and understanding like you did with the Prophet Daniel. Arise up leaders just like you did with King Josiah. Allow them to be warriors and conquerors in the spirit just like King David. Allow them to worship you in spirit and truth.

Devotion for Married Couples Did you feel that Shake?

Psalm 46:1–11 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1 What could shake the very foundation of your marriage? For Rick and Amanda, it started with Rick’s working too much. With each promotion, Rick spent more time on the road and less time with Amanda. But success at work left him empty. He bought things he couldn’t afford to reward himself for his long hours away. Soon he and Amanda were arguing over money. To pay the mounting bills, Amanda found a job. She also found a sympathetic friend at work and tried to heal her hurts with an affair. When Rick found out about the affair, he quietly made plans to divorce Amanda. Before the papers could be filed, however, Amanda got sick with a minor illness. But complications set in, and she was put into the hospital. More than once, the doctors told Rick that she wouldn’t make it through the night.

That night Rick began to see things differently. He wanted to save the marriage, but he didn’t know how. As Amanda’s illness became progressively worse, she went into a coma. Rick feared for her life and spent every waking moment by her side. In Psalm 46, we see the world being torn apart by cataclysmic disasters—mountains collapsing into the sea, earthquakes, floods and military conquests. But the author of this psalm tells us that we shouldn’t fear. How could we not be afraid when faced with such terrifying events? The psalmist tells us that through all of the turbulence, God is with us. God is our refuge and strength when problems shake our world. He has such awesome power that the world actually melts at the sound of his voice. God is in control and will be exalted. As Amanda lay in the hospital, fighting to live, Rick was fired from his job. He had to sell their house and their car. But when everything he thought was important was stripped away, Rick found God was there through it all. When he heard God’s voice, it was as if his earthly troubles melted away. Rick believed God was in control and that Amanda would live. And she did. Today Amanda is permanently disabled. She requires full-time care. Life will never be the same for this couple. But their marriage has withstood the worst threats possible. They now trust God daily for healing, forgiveness and the restoration of their marriage. They endured past trials and found that God was their refuge. They will face future trials knowing he is their strength. Their marriage has never been stronger. Whatever long, dark nights you face as a couple, let this passage remind you that God is ever-present, the morning will come, and the battle has already been won. Jennifer Schuchmann Let’s Talk This psalm inspired the hymn “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.” What spiritual fortresses can we build to protect our marriage in times of trials? Recognizing that God is our refuge and our strength during trials means understanding his character before trials occur. What is God really like? How does knowing who he is provide us with strength and refuge? When our world is shaken, how hard is it for us to believe that God is really in control?
