"We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed ... perplexed, but not in despair ... persecuted, but not abandoned ... struck down, but not destroyed."
2 Corinthians 4:8
†††
From reading this description of God's people, we sound like a tough skinned bunch ... ready to get right back up, when falling down, ready to persevere in all circumstances!
Well, I would say that that is just about right, don't you?
We know that we are of Him ... that we do not conform to the world, but to God's promises, and His mighty Word!
We have lived long enough to know, walked long enough to know, trusted long enough to know, that He is always with us, and we do not ever fear!
I pray that this description describes each one of us, as we walk and pray and trust and believe!
We have a Sovereign God, Who created not only us, but the whole universe, and we have a Holy Spirit, Who dwells within each of us, continually leading and guiding us, always in the pathways of wisdom.
We have power, strength, and fortitude in our God, and never have to rely upon human understanding, or human strength!
Now, with having said all this, I think we should feel pretty good about ourselves ... more than able to stand up and be counted for, in His mighty army!
Do all, within your power, to restore God in America, and in all the world, making Him King over all kings!
"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord ... the people He chose for His inheritance."
Psalm 33:12
†††
If any of you are not walking in close relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ ... if He has been tapping you on the shoulder, but you have not yet responded ... embark upon His Holy pathway today!
Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?"
Romans 8:35
†††
We must know, truly in our hearts, that we are loved by Christ.
No one or nothing can separate us from Him, except sin!
He intercedes for us, in prayers of power.
We cannot yet see what He has in store for us, but we can know and trust, that as long as we place our faith in Him, His plans are much greater than anything we can think of!
We tend to think small, while He thinks Big!
If something takes years to materialize, just consider all the forethought, all the planning, all the preparation, which our Divine Creator has orchestrated, for its fruition.
Ever since our births, God has led us down each pathway ... watched, as we made each turn, and He has been delighted, when we as little children, have believed and had faith.
I believe that whenever a person releases faith, it must illuminate the heavens, and inspires angels to sing!
Our faith is powerful, Our faith is rewarded, Our faith is awesome!
Do all, within your power, to restore God in America, and in all the world, making Him King over all kings!
"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord ... the people He chose for His inheritance."

"When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom."
Proverbs 11:2
†††
Those who have gained wisdom in life, have been those who have humbled themselves before God, in some circumstance or experience which has brought suffering, a broken and contrite spirit, and the willingness to learn God's way.
Once we have committed ourselves to His Way, we can expect teaching lessons.
We have invited God to come and teach us, to lead us, and we have become His student.
According to God's purpose and plan for our lives, He will lead us divinely to those pathways, which will eventually lead us to divine destiny, through the storms, the battles, transforming pride into humbleness.
If at one point, when the storm has become extremely harsh, we decide to give up, to become discouraged, we will linger there at that stage of development in Christ, until we are willing to tread through the waters of affliction, and reach our hand up to His, once more.
Our wisdom is taught through all that we have wrought!
When you're feeling low and lonely and no one seems to care,
Reach out to God Who loves you and unfold your wings of prayer.
Rise above the daily heartaches so common to us all. Just spread your wings and fly away before the teardrops fall.
Don't let trials and temptations like anchors, weigh you down.
Reach out to God ... He loves you and will not let you down.
You can rise above your problems ... you can soar most anywhere.
Just put your faith into action and unfold your wings of prayer!

"I want to know Christ and the power of His Resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in His sufferings, becoming like Him in His death."
Philippians 3:10
†††
The enemy is an expert at keeping one in bondage, especially on an emotional level!
He can continue to keep in front of us these things ... sorrow, grief, and mentally draining circumstances and situations which discourage us, even from years past.
If he can manipulate and control one's emotions ... anger, unforgiveness, hatred and sorrow, he can keep one trapped in that bondage, so that there is no way in the world, they can move forward, and enjoy the fullness of their faith, the freedom of their faith!
All those involved, who continue to add to the situations, are also being bound, and no one gets anywhere!
People go to their deathbeds, with harbored grudges, and resentments that stem from many years ago!
There has to be release of all the negative feelings, and one has to work hard in order to rise above such feelings, so they can move on up!
It is possible to do so!
Some are in peoples' lives as agents of the enemy, which the adversary has sent, to block and encumber one from their spiritual growth and purpose.
Recognizing these agents is essential in freeing oneself from spiritual bondage!
Ask God today, to purge your life of these adversarial tactics, and to subdue each and every assignment that is sent against you, which is meant to block your way into His purpose and His Mighty plan!
God will do it, for it is His battle, and not ours!
Free me, as the little bird, that has been released from captive cage.
May the enemy be subdued, as he sends forth his cohorts, and may Your mighty power assuage.
Lord ... I lift up these battles which are not mine to fight, and I depend upon Your Word, that You will make things right, and free me, as a bird.
In Jesus' name, Amen

"Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of My Father which is in Heaven."
Matthew 18:19
†††
As we pray with one another in agreement, we must be sure that both are believing ... and one not just hoping!
Our belief, our faith, cannot work, if one is in doubt.
This is exactly where many prayers of agreement will end up failing.
We must be able to release our faith, in full measure, together!
The two that are praying, must agree and must truly believe!
Please send a fresh anointing of faith upon all that read this.
Lord ... Deposit within their spirits, a deeper well of faith.
May we all be able to touch and agree ... with mountain moving faith!
Remove all doubt, all fear, all hope, and turn it into full blown faith, a full grown faith!
In Jesus' name, we pray, and we thank You, Amen

We are humans, all of us born of mere human strength.
We are strengthened, both physically and spiritually, through the power of the Holy Spirit within!
There are times we take on more than we can handle.
Time may not allow, our own physical or mental strengths may not allow, that which we wish to endeavor.
We must always know that our strength comes from God, and that He is our Strength!
Afflictions, illness, chaos and distractions may all cause fatigue, but we need to remember the words hidden in our minds and hearts, which strengthen us and empower us.
In the darkness of the valleys, we carry the lamps of light: God's Word, which lights the way!
In the darkness of evil powers surrounding us, encircling us, we carry His Word, to dispel it.
When we enter into darkness, and recognize it, we take along with us, His Word, which delivers light and truth!
All of our weaponry, all of our armor, begins with the everlasting Word of God!
Do all, within your power, to restore God in America, and in all the world, making Him King over all kings!
