PRAYER FORCE
Remaining
Secure In God’s Hands
We are so blessed to be a part of the family of God, so in this
week’s edition of our Prayer Force we will investigate the
subject called Remaining Secure In God’s Hands. We in the Body of
Christ must come to a realization that God seeks to watch over His
Children and keep us secure in His place. The enemy of your soul can
never take you out of God’s hands, it is impossible for him to get
to you because you are secure in the hands that hold the entirety of the
universe together. Remaining Secure In God’s Hands mean that you
have placed your trust in He who is very sure and reliable.
Whenever our Mission Team travels, we are cognizant what Remaining
Secure In God’s Hands means because He covers our every move. As we fly
on various aircrafts, travel in our vans down busy freeways, roads and
highways, we know that Abba is watching over us. Through inclement weather and
dangerous conditions because of reckless drivers, we are yet steadfast in our
confidence. Recently, we had a situation on a flight from Honolulu to Dallas
Fort Worth, our landing gears apparently couldn’t be lowered so we circled
the area and prepared for a possible crash landing. Believe me when I tell you
that Remaining Secure In God’s Hands kept our minds! God did it once again, He came through for our flight, as He had done about seven years ago in Brisbane, Australia. As a long member of God’s family I want to encourage all of you that Remaining Secure In God’s Hands will keep your mind and have you live a life of Faith that is pleasing to God. Did God fail Abraham, Noah, Moses, Joseph, Joshua or David? Can you locate where it’s written that the Lord turned His back on Rebecca, Sarah, Jacob, Deborah, Ruth or Naomi. My friend, you’ll never find it because it doesn’t exist! So live your life by Remaining Secure In God’s Hands! |
December 2 to December 8, 2007 His
Hands Are Stretched Out Still
“Manasseh,
Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together
Confrontational, this is one word many religious people use to
define who our God is. Why is God so confrontational you ask? Because He
is Holy, not pious, somber, quiet, gentle or loving, God is Holy!
You see, these other “small g” god’s are not holy, because
they are deceptive liars who keep their followers in absolute bondage.
People by the multitudes are trapped by their broken promise, false
prophecies and lies!
But our God does not lie, He cannot lie because He
is Holy! None can compare to Abba, not Buddah, Muhammed,
Cali, Pele, Zeus, certainly not Joseph Smith,
Brigham Young, Charles Taze Russel, Jim Jones, Ellen
White, L. Ron Hubbard, Confucius and Baal. And
we understand that our Holy God will not bow down and seek friendship
with these other god’s. He cannot associate with false practitioners!
Now look at our Holy Father and see what He is currently doing,
go on look and see for yourself. The scripture tells us a very
significant thing, it says that right now, at this very moment, His
Hands Are Stretched Out Still! You may be saying, “For
What?” God desires to touch, embrace, hold,
handle and bless His children daily. Can you see
that the Father’s Hand Is Stretched Out Still? If we are living
that life He expects of us, then why wouldn’t Abba stretch out His
hands to touch us? His hands are stretched out still! |

PRAYER FORCE
Binding
The Strongman
As
we live our lives according to the Word of God, our eyes will open up and
see the many enemies satan forms against us as weapons. They all need to
be dealt with because if they aren’t, they intend to kill us. In our Prayer
Force for this week we want to deal with a subject called Binding
The Strongman. Now I want you to clearly recognize and realize that
the strongman was placed there by the devil to control your life
and limit you in what your body will be able to do, especially for Abba.
Satan is very crafty, a subtle being who desires to collapse every plan
for your life through internal pressure, this is how the strongman
operates! A
strongman is very territorial, and does not like to be uprooted or removed
from its place of assignment. According to our Lord if he is removed,
after a season he will return to check out his former residence to see who
is currently occupying it. If no one else is there, the strongman will get
seven more wicked than he is! This is where we need to become wise in our
conduct concerning this very important matter. We are not contending with
humans here, but aliens who are under the authority of a leader that is
bent on stopping the plans of God for humanity and the ages. The
bible calls it a strongman so do not underestimate its power,
position and authority. To bind him, an alien, we
must know how it can be done or worse things can occur. He must first be identified
so you know what you are dealing with; you do not want to hit and miss
here! Next, you must recognize the strengths it has been given to properly
function and fulfill its job. Also, if you expect to bind this
strongman, you need to have a greater power then it has and
this is only received through our Lord Jesus Christ. You must also
get others with equal or greater strength to work with you to get the true
deliverance that is available from Abba. Binding The Strongman is
what we are called to do as believers who desire to live effectively for
God. |

9 to December 15, 2007 Identifying
A Spirit of Infirmity “Thine
eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and
When Abba
formed us He did so in a loving, compassionate, caring and most
important, Fatherly way. As He put Adam together in Eden, every organ,
every member and limb were fashioned with a purpose to function
properly; never needing to be healed, replaced or removed! From brain
cells to our corneas, we are truly wonderfully made. Medical science
marvels at the functioning of the human body and how the anatomy work
together and controls everything. Yes, God in His wisdom also placed
within each of us systems of checks and balances that keep our body from
being invaded by intruders.
Some of these intruders come from the outside while others may
also become active within our own bodies. Let’s look at something that
certainly qualifies as an intruder, its called bacteria.
Generally when we hear about a bacteria we see them as something that
originates when meat, poultry, fish or other food items aren’t
properly stored or handled. The dictionary says that bacteria is
also known as bacterium because it is regularly plural in
scientific use. Tiny creatures almost invisible to the naked eye carry
about sickness. Here’s the scientific definition: any of a domain
bacteria of prokaryotic round, spiral, or rod-shaped single-celled
microorganisms that may lack cell walls or are gram-positive or
gram-native. If they have cell walls, that are often aggregated into
colonies, which typically live in soil, water, organic matter or bodies
of plants or animals.
According to medical science, bacteria can be destroyed easily
although it will duplicate itself and maintain its life form. What is
more dangerous however is a virus, because they mutate, change,
hide and even go dormant for years. A virus has an
intelligence behind it that defies imagination, and it is not of God! |

PRAYER FORCE
Receiving
God’s Call On Your Life Let’s discuss a serious subject that concerns each of us called Receiving God’s Call On Your Life. As we desire to receive gifts from others, so too should we be when Receiving God’s Call On Your Life. Our lives have been predestined for success by God, our job is to quickly align ourselves with Him to get where we belong. You do realize that the call upon your life is when you get saved and delivered from sin. What God assigns you to do following your new birth is a bonus. God’s anointing comes upon your life upon your conversion, and it is for a divine purpose that you must recogniz
Do you think God will anoint an unbeliever to do His
kingdom work and ministry? Of course not! We are saved for
and with a purpose, and that purpose is to fulfill the will of
God. We must understand the concept of God’s anointing and how it
relates to our lives. This is an anointing for service that cannot be
obtained any other way, surely you don’t think the anointing comes from
a prophetic Word or the laying on of hands. This is a touch from heaven,
not earth. What we receive in the anointing is the ability to persevere
and complete the call with joy. When I received Jesus Christ as Lord, I lined myself up with His perfect will and upon receiving my deliverance I began to work out my soul’s salvation by doing God’s assignment for me. Remember, it is by grace we are saved, not of works, so working out my soul’s salvation cannot bring me redemption! I have accepted God’s will for me and that is what Receiving God’s Call On Your Life is all about. So salvation is more than getting our name in the Lamb’s Book Of Life, it is accepting the truth that God saved me with a purpose to work in His Kingdom and enjoy doing it with great success. Begin to make the best of your life after Receiving God’s Call On Your Life my friend. |

16 to December 22, 2007 Never
Overlooked “But you, Bethlehem Ephratah, you are little to be
among the clans of Judah; [yet] out of you shall One come forth for Me
Who is to be Ruler in Israel, Whose goings forth have been from of old,
from ancient days (eternity).”
In life there is a tendency for people to be
overlooked whether for promotion, invitations to events, making trips or
whatever other reason. Unless this has happened to you it would be a
little difficult to understand the feelings these people may have. Hear
me, in Christ you are Never Overlooked! Having made that
statement, you should put all those junk,
yucky feelings aside and effectively live a triumphant life for
our Lord. I recognize
that some are overlooked because of their stature and age
but whoever does that is making a terrible mistake. I am a firm believer
that God can use anyone for His Kingdom and have them to be very
successful. Case in point is David and
His being anointed King by Samuel the prophet. In I Samuel
16:7 God tells Samuel “Look not on his countenance, or
on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord
seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but
the Lord looketh on the heart.” Samuel was
about to make a tragic mistake by anointing, the wrong son of Jesse to
be Israel’s next King. He assumed that age and outward appearance was
a key factor and he was wrong! Whenever God is in something my
dear friend please know that you are Never Overlooked. While his
brothers were lining up before the prophet of God, David was yet out in
the field watching his daddy’s sheep. One by one they stood before
Samuel but the anointing was not on them, it was out in the field on
their kid brother. Finally the call came and David was summoned to stand
before Samuel and the unthinkable happened, God spoke and said “Anoint
him, this is he!” |

PRAYER FORCE
A
Major Investment You
hear them all the time, morning, noon, and night, people enticing you to
believe them, and how you need to make an investment in what they have. In
today’s Prayer Force we will discuss a serious subject we call A
Major Investment. When God does things He does it on a grand scale.
Consider the stars, when He called them into exsitence it was with many
factors in mind. They were to all depict the story of creation and the
Creator. With billions of stars we’re told that God knows them all
by name! That’s a tall order dear one. When
God re-created the earth, it took six days and look how it turned out. The
beauty and splendor that we enjoy today, and others have for thousands of
years, were masterfully planned by God. Consider the animals, fishes and
fowls, they were all created and we enjoy their very existence. You see
when God made them, it was a great investment because He allowed them to
perpetuate after their own kind. Dear one, when Abba sent Jesus to us,
that was truly A Major Investment! He only had one Jesus yet
He sent Him here. |
December
23 to December 29, 2007 The
Joy Of Giving “But when the proper time had fully come, God sent
His Son, born of a woman, born subject to (the regulations of ) the law,
to purchase the freedom of ( to ransom, to redeem, to atone for) those
who were subject to the law, that we might be adopted and have sonship
conferred upon us (and be recognized as God’s sons).” The
subject of giving can do one of two things for you. It can either make
you happy and excited because of what it accomplishes, or
it can cause you to get down right aggrivated because you believe
nobody should tell you how to deal with your money. This teaching called
The Joy Of Giving is shared because for every human, giving
must be taught, so a clear understanding can be grasped.
One thing giving isn’t, is stealing from a person.
Many think if you ask them to give, you’re invading their domain and
are actually deceiving them into releasing what they own to you, and with
their cooperation. Dear ones
there truly is a joy that consumes you when you learn how to give. Too
many believers live years in misery because they “have to”
give their tithes, offering, support to missions, etc.
I’ve spoken to many who’ve said, “If I didn’t have to give
the tithe and offering, I could pay my bills.” These
words reveal their heart and/or lack of understanding. The Joy
Of Giving reveals the maturity of a person and also their love for
the person they are giving to; especially if it’s the Lord. When Abba
sent Jesus into this world He already knew what would be happening to
Him. |

PRAYER FORCE
Commitment to Excellence
Serving God requires many things on our part, perhaps one that we
should master is the practice of Commitment. While we serve Abba
daily we need to seriously consider that we have been called with a
purpose and we must not give in or give up dispite what
the enemy throws at us. This is how we can develop a Commitment to
Excellence for the call of God on our lives; let’s discuss this
subject in this weeks Prayer Force. Here we go dear one, we are
privileged to have God choose us for His service so shouldn’t we exhibit
a Commitment to Excellence for Him?
On our jobs our bosses
demand loyalty, obedience, faithfulness, and of
course commitment. We have no problems giving this because we like
our jobs and the fact that we are compensated. Should we not give Abba a Commitment
to Excellence? I especially like the story as recorded in I Kings
chapter ten about King Solomon, his wisdom, wealth and all
that pertained to him. The Queen of Sheba traveled far and spent much to
witness all these things and was especially impressed by his servants and
their Commitment to Excellence. When people see a ministry, school,
job, ball team or administration functioning with a Commitment to
Excellence, it greatly impresses them and causes a challenge to rise
up. |
December 30, 2007 to January 5, 2008 The Danger of Looking Back “And
Jesus said unto him, no man, having put his hand to the plough,
If there was ever a word of wisdom we should heed
to, it is quite simply called The Danger Of Looking Back. All you
need to do is speak to many who once were serving the Lord and soon
you’ll see that one of the reasons, (if not the top) they have
quit is because they looked back at what life use to be for them before
they committed to Christ. I realize it is a sorry excuse, but
nonetheless it is one that is a reality. The enemy dispises his future
and seeks to persuade everyone else to forfeit theirs by always
recalling where they came from. Our Lord
boldly declared that those who look back are unfit
for the Kingdom of God and all that God has planned for them. This is a
serious statement saints, one that should never be taken lightly.
Look at the illustration we’re given. A workman who has proven
themselves faithful, dependable, and loyal allows his
mind to second guess what they are doing with the plough God
assigned to them. Perhaps time was wearing him out, discouragment
or fatigue was overtaking his body and he turned back to see how far
he’d come. |
