Isaiah 54:1-5 MSG

“Sing, barren woman, who has never had a baby.
Fill the air with song, you who’ve never experienced childbirth!
You’re ending up with far more children
than all those childbearing women.” God says so!
“Clear lots of ground for your tents!
Make your tents large. Spread out! Think big!
Use plenty of rope,
drive the tent pegs deep.
You’re going to need lots of elbow room
for your growing family.
You’re going to take over whole nations;
you’re going to resettle abandoned cities.
Don’t be afraid—you’re not going to be embarrassed.
Don’t hold back—you’re not going to come up short.
You’ll forget all about the humiliations of your youth,
and the indignities of being a widow will fade from memory.
For your Maker is your bridegroom,
his name, God-of-the-Angel-Armies!
Your Redeemer is The Holy of Israel,
known as God of the whole earth.

• We prayed towards the manifestation of the "suddenlies" promised and prepared for our new Church property and our congregation - a testimony to the glory of God! Now is the acceptable time for the increase of the Kingdom, especially in Niagara!

As we pray today, we are holding up the Blood over our families, ministry, nations and whipping situations with the Blood.

"The blood of Jesus purges me of every defilement of the enemy. The blood of Jesus keeps and guards my mind day and night. The blood of Jesus prevents deception and aborts every attempt of the enemy to deceive me. The blood of Jesus is my divine covering and protection against all the fiery darts of the evil one. The blood of Jesus is alive! So full of life and grace, it perfects that which concerneth me, reconciling everything in me to the perfect will of God every day and in every way." - Grace Ryerson Roos

Grace Ryerson Roos shared a greatly indispensable Word of testimony in one of her books, “The Blood”:

“Several years ago the Holy Spirit taught me a lesson in spiritual warfare that I have never forgotten, and I have used it successfully many times since.

I was sitting in my living room praying, when in a vision I saw the outside door open and a giant of a man step into the room, closing the door behind him.

He had a sneering grin on his face and in my heart I knew he was a demon spirit. I ordered him to leave the house. He threw back his head and laughed mockingly. I repeated my order emphatically.

Again he just laughed, highly amused. I jumped out of my chair and faced him. Pointing to the door, I commanded, “In the Name of the Lord Jesus, get out of here!”

He roared with laughter, utterly unconcerned.

Then to emphasize I was nothing in his sight, he reached for me with his long, powerful arms and picked me off my feet, cradling me against his chest like one would a baby. I was very indignant and began beating his head with my fists, ordering him with every breath to put me down.

He laughed the harder, overcome with mirth that I should even try to fight him. Look at his size! I did not have a chance! I created so much fuss, however, he finally put me back on my feet.

I stood there looking up at him, praying silently, “LORD, what do I do now?” Immediately I felt the handle of a long whip slipped into my hand, and then I KNEW what to do.

I raised that whip (which represented The Blood of our victorious LORD Jesus) and whipped him unmercifully with it. He was startled but gave no sign that he noticed the beating, continuing to laugh mockingly at me.

But I KNEW the power of this whip and faithfully applied it to him with all the strength and determination I had. He kept up his bold front of unconcern and confident victory — but suddenly I noticed the mocking light in his eyes was fading and an unwilling look of respect took its place.

I immediately took courage and renewed my attack, commanding him on the authority of The Blood of Jesus Christ to leave my home at once. Continuing to laugh, yet seeking to deceive me to the end, he tried to hold his ground, but suddenly overcome with the POWER of that victorious Holy Blood, he opened the door and fled.

Some Forgiveness Scriptures

Eph 4:32;5:1-2
And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. 2 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.

Col 3:12,14
Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;
14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.

Joel 2:25 NKJV
[25] “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you.

The Biblical meaning of the word 'restoration' is to receive back more than has been lost to the point where the final state is greater than the original condition. The main point is that someone or something is improved beyond measure.

“I WILL RESTORE” - 5 JULY 2008 - Prophecy delivered by Kenneth Copeland -

“Now, I’ll do the same for you,” saith The LORD, “I’ll do the same for anybody. I came to destroy the works of the devil, and I will destroy everything the cankerworm has stolen from you, I will absolutely put it away. I will restore, I will restore, I will restore. Redemption and restoration are what I do. And if you’ll believe Me for it, if you’ll begin to confess it every day, if you will begin to call it over your life, over your family, over your bank account, and over your physical body and over your mind, I will restore!” Hallelujah!

Kenneth Hagin Feb 18/03 PROPHECY - There shall be a restoration! There is a restoration in progress at the moment. A restoration spiritually speaking, when there shall be restored a full manifestation of the Spirit...This is the time of restoration. And there is coming a restoration in the world, in the natural realm. Restoration of marriages. Restoration of those who have been out of fellowship with one with another. For some reason or another, selfishly walking in their own way. Refusing to fellowship with others, but there's a restoration. It's working even now & you cannot see it & you do not know it, but it is, ha ha ha. And shall shortly come to pass.

Jerry Savelle May 14/89 (Breakthrough)...All that you have lost shall be recovered and yea, I will even raise you up, saith the Lord, in these days to invade the enemy's camp and take back EVERYTHING he has STOLEN. For this is the day of breakthroughs...

Jerry Savelle 'Devastation to Restoration'

Devastating situations involving family, marriages, health, finances, relationships etc. We need to know that God is a restorer no matter how devastating things in life have become. God can turn it around.

AND MY WORD IS AT WORK SO BE AT PEACE. THE WORKS OF YOUR ADVERSARY ARE ABOUT TO CEASE. HE THOUGHT HE HAD YOU, BUT I ALWAYS COME THROUGH. I'M TURNING THINGS AROUND JUST LIKE I SAID I WOULD DO. ITS NEVER OVER UNTIL I'VE HAD MY SAY, THAT IS WHY I'M CALLED THE TRUTH AND THE WAY. I WATCH OVER MY WORD WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO STAND, AND I BRING DELIVERANCE AGAIN AND AGAIN. SO NEVER GIVE UP AND REFUSE TO GIVE IN, IT'S ALMOST OVER, YOU'RE ABOUT TO WIN.

Read through Gen 13,14:1-16; 18:16-19:30 (story of Lot)

Lot is Abram/Abraham's nephew. Lot chose the lush looking land, when he and Abram separated. The land where Lot lived (Sodom and Gomorrah) was invaded and Lot was taken captive. Abram and his trained servants attacked and brought back Lot and all the goods/people that were taken. Lot returned to his land (full of wickedness), however God was going to destroy it. God did not hide His intentions from Abraham, and Abraham interceded. God showed His mercy towards Lot by sending two angels to rescue Lot and his family from the coming destruction.

In both of these instances, it was Abram/Abraham who stood in the gap and rescued Lot.

We have family members, who were serving the Lord, but chose to go and live in the world. And they have come back to the Lord, but then have been drawn into the world's ways again (by partaking in, desiring worldly goods, or by tolerating what occurs around them).

Prayed...

• We are standing in the gap for their return to the Lord and a complete transformation.

• God is a merciful God who desires all come to repentance and be saved.

Rom 10:17 tells us that faith comes by hearing and hearing the revealed word of God.

Hebrews 11:1 AMP
[1] Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses].

Matthew 9:27-30 TPT
[27] As Jesus left the house, two blind men began following him, shouting out over and over, “Son of David, show us mercy and heal us!” [28] And they followed him right into the house where Jesus was staying. So Jesus asked them, “Do you believe that I have the power to restore sight to your eyes?” They replied, “Yes Lord, we believe!” [29] Then Jesus put his hands over their eyes and said, “You will have what your faith expects!” [30] And instantly their eyes opened—they could see!

Matthew 9:27-31 MSG
[27-28] As Jesus left the house, he was followed by two blind men crying out, “Mercy, Son of David! Mercy on us!” When Jesus got home, the blind men went in with him. Jesus said to them, “Do you really believe I can do this?” They said, “Why, yes, Master!” [29-30] He touched their eyes and said, “Become what you believe.” It happened. They saw.

[3] For such [praying] is good and right, and [it is] pleasing and acceptable to God our Savior,

[18] When there is no clear prophetic vision, people quickly wander astray. But when you follow the revelation of the Word, heaven’s bliss fills your soul.

Luke 19:1-10 TPT
[1] On his way to Jerusalem, Jesus had to pass through Jericho. [2] There lived a very wealthy man named Zacchaeus, who supervised all the tax collectors. [3] He was very eager to see Jesus and kept trying to get a look at him through the massive crowd. Since Zacchaeus was a short man and couldn’t see over the heads of the people, [4] he ran on ahead of everyone and climbed up a blossoming fig tree to get a glimpse of Jesus as he passed by. [5] When Jesus got to that place, he looked up into the tree and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry on down, for I must stay at your house today!” [6] So he scurried down the tree and found himself face-to-face with Jesus. [7] As Jesus left to go with Zacchaeus, many in the crowd complained, “Look at this! Of all the people to have dinner with, he’s going to eat in the house of a crook.” [8] Zacchaeus was amazed over his gracious visit to his home and joyously welcomed Jesus. Zacchaeus stood in front of the Lord and said, “Half of all that I own I will give to the poor. And Lord, if I have cheated anyone, I promise to pay them back four times as much as I stole.” [9] Jesus said to him, “Your repentance shows that today life has come to you and your household, and that you are a true son of Abraham. [10] The Son of Man has come to seek out and to give life to those who are lost.”

• This was Jesus' last journey before His triumphant entry into Jerusalem.

• Zacchaeus, desired to see Jesus. His heart was open.

• Jesus explained to them that He had come to save all people, including the lost and the worst of sinners.

• That day, Zacchaeus was transformed! He promised to change his ways right away and repay all of the people he had cheated.

God's love, forgiveness, and salvation transforms you.

We are praying for breakthroughs in our families understanding and desire about salvation, and then for their transformation through salvation.

1 Samuel 17:33-36
And Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.” 34 But David said to Saul, “Your servant used to keep his father’s sheep, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, 35 I went out after it and struck it, and delivered the lamb from its mouth; and when it arose against me, I caught it by its beard, and struck and killed it. 36 Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God.”

2 Samuel 5:17-25
Now when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. And David heard of it and went down to the stronghold. 18 The Philistines also went and deployed themselves in the Valley of Rephaim. 19 So David inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?”
And the Lord said to David, “Go up, for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
20 So David went to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there; and he said, “The Lord has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water.” Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim. 21 And they left their images there, and David and his men carried them away.
22 Then the Philistines went up once again and deployed themselves in the Valley of Rephaim. 23 Therefore David inquired of the Lord, and He said, “You shall not go up; circle around behind them, and come upon them in front of the mulberry trees. 24 And it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then you shall advance quickly. For then the Lord will go out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.” 25 And David did so, as the Lord commanded him; and he drove back the Philistines from Geba as far as Gezer.

*I confess that I am excited God has chosen me to be a part of this last-days’ generation! The Holy Spirit inside awakens me to what teaching is right and what teaching is wrong — and I have a spiritually discerning ear to know what I should accept and what I should reject. I further declare that I will NOT be a part of the “itching-ear” generation. Instead, I have a heart for the solid, time-tested teaching of the Word of God. On this Word of Truth I stand, and I will not move or even budge. Where God’s eternal Word is concerned, I will allow no room for negotiation!

And he called to her and said, “Please bring me a little water in a cup, that I may drink.” 11 And as she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.”
12 So she said, “As the Lord your God lives, I do not have bread, only a handful of flour in a bin, and a little oil in a jar; and see, I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die.”
13 And Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go and do as you have said, but make me a small cake from it first, and bring it to me; and afterward make some for yourself and your son. 14 For thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘The bin of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil run dry, until the day the Lord sends rain on the earth.’ ”

Overcome any giant in your life by applying these 4 Steps To Face the Giant in Your Life and conquer it today!

What giant are you facing in life? Is a mountain of debt screaming at you? A daunting diagnosis dominating your thoughts? An addiction driving you? A possible breakup threatening your marriage?

If anyone in the Bible knew about facing giants, it was David. David went to visit his brothers on the battlefield and found himself facing Goliath—an almost-10-foot-tall giant tormenting and intimidating the entire army of Israel with his daily taunts.

Life comes with giants the enemy uses to strike terror in your heart, flood your mind with worst-case scenarios, and stop you in your tracks. But, like David, you can overcome such giants by knowing your covenant with God and following the same 4 Steps To Face the Giant In Your Life that David did; you can defeat those giants every single time!

Step 1: Identify Your Giant

“David asked the soldiers standing nearby…. ‘Who is this pagan Philistine anyway, that he is allowed to defy the armies of the living God?’” –1 Samuel 17:26

David identified Goliath as the giant in his life—the one who had come out against the armies of God. How do you identify your giant? Check your mind and thoughts. Where have your thoughts been going? Whatever you have been worrying about is typically where your giant lies. Are you thinking about the bills you can’t pay? A recent diagnosis from a doctor? A child you aren’t sure how to reach? Your thoughts expose your giant.

To identify your giant, it’s important to recognize what is and what is not of God. The devil comes to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10). If something has come to your life to steal, kill or destroy, it is not of God, it’s a sickness or disease or an unexpected bill that you can’t pay. It could also be a fearful mindset, an insecurity that continues to hang around long after Jesus paid for you to be free of it.

When David called Goliath “this pagan Philistine,” he was exposing Goliath’s true identity, which was not of the house of Israel and not in covenant with God. Goliath came to torment the people of God and to steal from them. In identifying your giant, like David, call it what it is—something that has come to steal, kill or destroy.

Step 2: Jesus Defeated Your Giant

“When a lion or a bear comes to steal a lamb from the flock, I go after it with a club and rescue the lamb from its mouth. If the animal turns on me, I catch it by the jaw and club it to death. I have done this to both lions and bears, and I’ll do it to this pagan Philistine, too, for he has defied the armies of the living God!” –1 Samuel 17:34-36

David knew his covenant with God, and because of that, he experienced victory after victory in defeating the lions and bears that came to devour the sheep from his flock. David knew that God would help him, back him, support him. This is why he was able to defeat the giant Goliath. Knowing what belongs to you in your covenant with God is important to facing and defeating the giant in your life.

The Bible says that the devil prowls around like a lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). You can withstand him by being firm in the faith (1 Peter 5:9), knowing that Jesus defeated him. In fact, Jesus already defeated whatever giant is threatening you. Jesus defeated the principalities and powers, making a show of them openly (Colossians 2:15). Any giant that has come against you has already been defeated by Jesus, and you can take your stand in faith against it.

Step 3: Declare Words That Reinforce Your Giant’s Defeat

“The LORD who rescued me from the claws of the lion and the bear will rescue me from this Philistine!” –1 Samuel 17:37

David declared words that reinforced Goliath’s defeat. He declared the end from the beginning. He reminded himself that the God who rescued him many times before would rescue him again. You can do the same thing, reminding yourself of all the times God has come through for you.

Then while looking at your giant—your empty bank account, your painful body or a loved one who is making bad choices—you can declare the Word of God. You can declare the truth of your covenant with God and all that it provides. If you need finances, declare God’s Word that He meets all your needs in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). If you need healing, declare that by the stripes of Jesus, you are healed (1 Peter 2:24). If you are praying for a loved one, you can pray that God opens their eyes to the truth, and that they will turn from darkness to light (Acts 26:18). By declaring the truth of your covenant, you are reinforcing your giant’s defeat.

Step 4: Speak Words Directly to Your Giant

“You come to me with sword, spear, and javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies—the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. Today the LORD will conquer you, and I will kill you and cut off your head. And then I will give the dead bodies of your men to the birds and wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel!” –1 Samuel 17:45-46

Never run toward your giant with your mouth closed! Instead, speak the Word of God and keep speaking it. That’s how you activate God’s covenant within you. It’s how you put it to work in your life. Mark 11:23 says, “I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart.”

This is what David did the day he faced his giant. He spoke covenant words directly to his giant—covenant words that God honored and executed on David’s behalf.

Whatever giant you are facing, you can overcome it by activating these 4 Steps To Face the Giant in Your Life. Instead of taking down lions and bears like David did, you are taking your stand of faith in the finished work of Jesus and what He has accomplished for you. As you do, watch God go to work on your behalf extinguishing every giant arrayed against you.

Feb 2024 Excerpts

Amid the tremors shaking our world, now is not the time to retreat. This is the moment to lean in, press on, and trust in the favor and the promises of God.

As I write this letter, I sense the leading of the Holy Spirit, guiding me to share a message of hope and encouragement. I believe, as you read this, you’re about to experience something extraordinary—a major breakthrough.

The Holy Spirit said to me, “For those of you who have remained faithful through all the turmoil that's been taking place in our world, you are on the brink of a major breakthrough.”

So, don’t grow weary now, for this is not the time to back off of your steadfast commitment. It's not the time to retreat. Continue to trust in God, and to lean on His everlasting words, for He is orchestrating miracles in your favor.

As you continue to trust God, know this, something good is on the horizon, and it's about to manifest in your life.

You’re entering a new season of blessings. Yes, favor is on the way, the likes of which you've never encountered. Prepare your heart for positive changes, for miracles that are about to unfold, for your God will not let you fail.

God is orchestrating miracles behind the scenes on your behalf, even at this very instant.

Stand firm and watch vigilantly, for what seemed impossible is on the brink of becoming reality. God has not forgotten you; you’re ever in His sight, continuously in His thoughts. This is your Psalm 20 moment, where the Scripture reminds us: “May He send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion. May He remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings." (Psalm 20:2-3, NIV)

The Passion Translation says, “[He will] remember every gift you have given.”

Isaiah 45:15 in The MESSAGE Paraphrase, says, “Clearly, you are a God who works behind the scenes, God of Israel, Savior God.”

I’m here to tell you, God is right now working behind the scenes on your behalf. You may not perceive it now, but your victory is being prepared right now.

A major breakthrough is headed your way. Something big is on the horizon. Just stay in faith. Keep celebrating and praising God in advance.

What you've been steadfastly believing for is not in vain. Continue to stand firm, to pray, to sow, and above all, to rejoice, for your breakthrough is near. It is not a matter of 'if' but 'when'—and it is imminent.

Your breakthrough is about to break through!

Let me leave you with a word that the Lord impressed upon my spirit—a word to strengthen you, to fortify your faith, and to assure you that your waiting has not been in vain. The Lord is declaring, "I have already gone ahead of you; your breakthrough is at hand, with no further delays. Ready your heart for the harvest of blessings, for the God of your breakthrough has made a way where there seemed to be none."

So, I urge you now, make a stand of faith, lift your voice, and offer a shout of praise to the God of the breakthrough. The Lord said to me, “The depth of your praise will determine the magnitude of your breakthrough.”

2 Thessalonians 2:7
For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.

And He changes the times and the seasons;
He removes kings and raises up kings;
He gives wisdom to the wise
And knowledge to those wo have understanding.

He knows what is in the darkness,
And light dwells with Him.
23 “I thank You and praise You,
O God of my fathers;
You have given me wisdom and might,
And have now made known to me what we asked of You,
For You have made known to us the king’s demand.”

(Prophetic Word from Bethel)

“Get ready to do a victory March in March!”

It says, “I heard God say, “Get ready to do a victory March in March.” I believe there’s a significant shift coming in the spirit in March this year. And it’s going to bring breakthrough and turnaround that many people have been waiting for.”

So if you need a word, just receive this this morning. Put your expectation in what God is saying here. What He’s saying in His Word for whatever situation you’re facing, whatever deal you are grappling with right now, just know that God is at work and March is going to be an opportunity to do a March and to experience victory.

It goes on to say…

“These things that God has been preparing behind the scenes for you, and I believe many are about to step into great victory. God says you have passed the test and have triumphed over the enemy, and now you are about to see breakthrough! The enemy has been trying to intimidate people, and some people have felt like you’ve been having to work hard to keep your head above water. But God is saying, ‘Look up.’ What the enemy has meant for evil, God is about to turn around for good. The enemy is trying to distract you and to cause you to doubt the words that God has spoken over you.

"But God is saying ‘Stand firm and don’t quit. You’re about to see victory!’

*Praying towards this prophecy

Ephesians 6:10-13
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Isaiah 34:8
For it is the day of the Lord’s vengeance,
The year of recompense for the cause of Zion.

2 Chronicles 20:14-17
Then the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly. 15 And he said, “Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the Lord to you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. 16 Tomorrow go down against them. They will surely come up by the Ascent of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the brook before the Wilderness of Jeruel. 17 You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!’ Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you.”

Psalm 44:3-8
For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword,
Nor did their own arm save them;
But it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance,
Because You favored them.
4 You are my King, O God;
Command victories for Jacob.
5 Through You we will push down our enemies;
Through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us.
6 For I will not trust in my bow,
Nor shall my sword save me.
7 But You have saved us from our enemies,
And have put to shame those who hated us.
8 In God we boast all day long,
And praise Your name forever. Selah

Isaiah 40:1-2
“Comfort, yes, comfort My people!”
Says your God.
2 “Speak comfort to Jerusalem, and cry out to her,
That her warfare is ended,
That her iniquity is pardoned;
For she has received from the Lord’s hand
Double for all her sins.”

Praying for wisdom

James 1:5-8 AMP

[5] If any of you lacks wisdom [to guide him through a decision or circumstance], he is to ask of [our benevolent] God, who gives to everyone generously and without rebuke or blame, and it will be given to him. [6] But he must ask [for wisdom] in faith, without doubting [God’s willingness to help], for the one who doubts is like a billowing surge of the sea that is blown about and tossed by the wind. [7] For such a person ought not to think or expect that he will receive anything [at all] from the Lord, [8] being a double-minded man, unstable and restless in all his ways [in everything he thinks, feels, or decides].

We know that God instituted marriage/family right from the very start.

As we approach Family weekend, our prayer is for open doors with our unsaved loved ones.

Colossians 4:3-6 TPT
[3] And please pray for me, that God will open a door of opportunity for us to preach the revelation of the mystery of Christ, for whose sake I am imprisoned. [4] Pray that I would unfold and reveal fully this mystery, for that is my delightful assignment. [5] Walk in the wisdom of God as you live before the unbelievers, and make it your duty to make him known. [6] Let every word you speak be drenched with grace and tempered with truth and clarity. For then you will be prepared to give a respectful answer to anyone who asks about your faith.

Josh 24:15cNLT
...But as for me and my family, we will serve the LORD.”

CFaith Devotion- The truth is that our family is included in the promises of salvation. Again and again we read in Scripture the familiar phrase, “you and all your household.” Truth resident in one’s life has the potential for spreading through a family, and even through a whole family tree.

If you happen to be the only one in your family serving the Lord, rejoice! The Lord has chosen you to introduce salvation to all your loved ones. A little leaven leavens the whole lump (Gal. 5:9). You will live to see your entire family serving the Lord.

It’s just a matter of time!

Prayed...

We prayed for the Lord's will to be done in the Provincial election and the upcoming Federal election. Canada has a destiny by God for the last days.

Ephesians 5:14-17
Therefore He says:
“Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light.”
15 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, 16 redeeming the
time, because the days are evil.
17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

1 Corinthians 16:9
For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

Psalm 92:10; 12-15
But my horn You have exalted like a wild ox;
I have been anointed with fresh oil.
12 The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree,
He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Those who are planted in the house of the Lord
Shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They shall still bear fruit in old age;
They shall be fresh and flourishing,
15 To declare that the Lord is upright;
He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

Hebrews 10:24-25
And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
— Galatians 6:9

I’ve told you before, but today I sense a leading to tell you again — you must stay steady and on track with the assignment the Lord has given to you! Believe me, I know what it’s like to get tired of staying steady and holding the course. But those moments when you’re tired and tempted to quit are the exact times when you need to grab hold of the power of God and determine that you are not going to stray from your course until you’ve finished what God asked you to do!

In moments when weariness tries to get the best of me, I meditate on Galatians 6:9, which says, “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” The word “weary” in Galatians 6:9 is the Greek word egkakos — a compound of en, which means in, and kakos, which describes something evil. Here it actually depicts a person who is tempted to throw in the towel and quit, thus surrendering to evil. In this verse, God commands you and me not to surrender to any temptation to give up. He promises that in “due season,” a harvest will be reaped if we won’t quit — the manifestation of what each of us is believing for will come if we will not cave in and give up.

Notice that God says the manifestation comes in “due season.” This tells us that each seed has its own set season — a specific, individual time when the seed will produce its harvest. Even if multiple seeds of various kinds are planted at one time, each has its own season to be reaped, depending on the seed. One seed produces in one set season, and another seed is reaped in a different set season. But no matter what season our seed is to be reaped in, God promises that if we are consistent — if we steadfastly keep sowing our seed into the ground and refuse to let weariness take us down — a time will come when “we shall reap.”

The words “we shall reap” describe a future, fixed event. So if a seed has been sown, a harvest is guaranteed to happen — if we stay on course. This is why Paul continued, saying, “…if we faint not.” The word “faint” is a Greek word that pictures a person who has become so weary that he gives up and forfeits what he’d been waiting so long for and what he was so close to reaping. Pressures applied against such a person caused him to become tired and weary. As a result, his grip slackened, and the thing he’d held on to and hoped for slipped from his hands. The result was loss. In the case of Galatians 6:9, he lost a harvest.

The most common thing that causes one to loosen his grip is weariness. That’s why Paul urges you not to throw in the towel in times of spiritual, physical, or mental exhaustion. It’s exciting to plant seeds of faith, and it’s really exciting when harvest comes. But in order to reach that point of reaping, you must hold on tight to what God has told you and remember that your seed has a set season when it will produce if you don’t disrupt the process.

Often people are tempted to quit believing because they get tired. Maybe you have felt this very same temptation. But God promises you in Galatians 6:9 that if you will remain steadfast, your time of waiting will eventually produce a harvest — the manifestation of what you’ve been waiting for and believing to see.

We’re all believing for something and sowing seeds toward it. I don’t know what you’re trusting God for in this season of your life. Perhaps no one knows but you because you’ve kept it between you and the Lord. Maybe it’s a financial harvest, a breakthrough in a relationship, or a healing or restoration in some area. Maybe this harvest is taking longer than you’d anticipated or expected. But I want to reassure you that God’s Word and His promises are absolutely true — and if you will just refuse to give up and quit, it’s only a matter of time until your long-awaited blessing arrives!

Romans 4:17
(as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;

2 Kings 8:1-6
Then Elisha spoke to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, “Arise and go, you and your household, and stay wherever you can; for the Lord has called for a famine, and furthermore, it will come upon the land for seven years.” 2 So the woman arose and did according to the saying of the man of God, and she went with her household and dwelt in the land of the Philistines seven years.
3 It came to pass, at the end of seven years, that the woman returned from the land of the Philistines; and she went to make an appeal to the king for her house and for her land. 4 Then the king talked with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, “Tell me, please, all the great things Elisha has done.” 5 Now it happened, as he was telling the king how he had restored the dead to life, that there was the woman whose son he had restored to life, appealing to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, “My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son whom Elisha restored to life.” 6 And when the king asked the woman, she told him.
So the king appointed a certain officer for her, saying, “Restore all that was hers, and all the proceeds of the field from the day that she left the land until now.”

Isaiah 43:8
Bring out the blind people who have eyes,
And the deaf who have ears.

Joshua 21:45
Not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.

Joshua 22:1-4
Then Joshua called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, 2 and said to them: “You have kept all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you. 3 You have not left your brethren these many days, up to this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the Lord your God. 4 And now the Lord your God has given rest to your brethren, as He promised them; now therefore, return and go to your tents and to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you on the other side of the Jordan.

And because he was mighty in faith and convinced that God had all the power needed to fulfill his promises, Abraham glorified God!
