Ezekiel 34: 25-27: And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods. And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing. And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.

Terror will not come near. (NLT)

And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain.

PERSONAL PRAYER AND CONFESSION:

IN HOLY EXPECTANCY.  Micah 7:7.

My God will hear me!  A holy, joyful expectancy is of the very essence of true waiting.  We must see how entirely it is to be the fault of the observation of God who raised Jesus for the dead.  Isaiah 46:10…Quote.  Be still…

AS A GOD OF JUDGEMENT.  ISAIAH 26:8-9; 30:18.

Mercy and judgment are forever in His dealings.  Judgment punishes the sin, while mercy saves the sinner.  Or rather mercy saves the sinner not in spite of, but by means of, the way judgment that came upon his sin His Holy presence will stir up and discover hidden sin as we wait on Him Malachi 3:2, Isaiah 64: The soul that longs for God and for deliverance from sin bows under them in humility and in hope.

Jer 29:11-14: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory… your love is better than life (Psalm 63:1-3)

How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty ! My soul yearns even faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. (Psalm 84:1-2)

Now devote your heart and souls to seeking the Lord your God. – I Chronicles 22:19

 And you my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts.

 For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. – Jer. 29:11-13

 I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things.

WAITING ON GOD: THE WAY TO THE NEW SONG. PS 40:1-3.

Waiting on God brings a rich reward, deliverance is sure; God Himself will put a new song in your mouth.

FOR INSTRUCTION Ps. 25:4-5.

An Army also waits for instruction or waiting for orders from commanders in chief.  Not just the word written, or taught but divine guidance in particular situation.

We give our sense of need and our faith in His help.

The power and the blessing of united waiting is what we need to learn.  The great aim will be to bring everyone in a praying worshiping company under a deep sense of God’s presence so that when they part there will be the consciousness of having met God Himself of having left every request with Him and of now waiting in still here while He works out His salvation.  Waiting before God, waiting for God, and waiting on God are the conditions of God showing His presence.

6. FINANCES OF THE MINISTRY

The financial state of the ministry is very important. When we prosper financially, it wil enable us to reach more parts of the world with the gospel and establish more churches. Our vision is worldwide and we need money to be effective in mission work. Zech 1:17: Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem. Through prosperity shall the Stone Church be spread abroad. Let’s pray for financial abundance to enable us:

  • To plant more churches and reach more people this year and to enlarge our territories
  •  Gain more grounds through the media outreach (Word on Air).
  •  To finish the building project of the ministry, the Word Alive International Convention Center.

2 Cor 9:8: And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

Phil 4:19: But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Resist the devil

  • Zech 1:18-21: Pray against every counsel and plan of Satan to scatter the church, to bring disunity and strife in the church of God. Pray against all schemes of the power of darkness against the church. Resist all agents of the enemy in our midst. Zech 1:18-21: Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns. And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem. And the LORD shewed me four carpenters. Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.
  • Matt 16:18-19: And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

PERSONAL PRAYER AND CONFESSION:

THE GOD OF OUR SALVATION Ps 62:1
Wait on Him for SALVATION waiting on Him is the Highest

It is the ascribing to glory of being ALL

it is the experiencing that in ALL things

THE KEYNOTE OF LIFE – Gen 49:18.

In the way of surrender, and obedience and desire and trust in all comprised in this one word: waiting on Him, waiting for His salvation.  It combine the deep sense of our entire helplessness of ourselves to work that is divinely good and our perfect confidence that our God will work it all in His divine power.

Use the following scriptures to pray for them:

  • Eph 1:16-19: Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power.
  • Eph 3:14-19: For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Pray that more people will be exposed to the preaching of Gods word that goes out from this church so that we will have more sons and daughters. Let our children come from afar and nurse at our sides. In areas which seem to be barren land to WAM, lets pray that the Lord will cause such lands to yield for us. Isa 54:1-3: Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD. Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
  • Pray that the Lord will make room for us even in places where there is a strong influence of Satan holding the land captive. In spite of the enemy, Lord, make room for this local assembly in other regions of this state and its environs. Pray that God will prepare a table before us. Gen 26:22: And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.                              Ps 23:5: Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

5. IMPACT IN THE PLACE WHERE WE ARE LOCATED

Josh 18:1: And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.

The presence of the congregation of Israel brought about conquest of the land. In the same vein, lets pray that in this place where we are located, the powers of darkness will be subdued before us and as a result, we would impact in this land.

Eph 3:9-10: And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

PERSONAL PRAYER AND CONFESSION:

FOR THE COMING OF HIS SON.
Lk. 12:36, 1 Tim 6:14, 15 (ASV) 1 Tim 1:9-10

Waiting on God in heaven, and waiting for His son from heaven, those two God has joined together and no man may put asunder.

The father, who in His own time, will reveal His son from heaven, in the God who, as we wait on Him prepares us for the revelation of His son.

The hope of that glorious appearing will strengthen you in waiting upon God for what He is to do in you now.  That same omnipotent love that is

QUIETLY .  Lam 3:26, Isaiah 7:4, Isaiah 30:15.

Close connection between quietness and faith.  They show us what a deep need there is quietness, as an element of true waiting upon God. Heb 2:20, Zeph 1:7.

Take time to be separate from all friends and all duties, all cares and all joy.  Time to be still and quiet before God.  Take time not only to secure stillness from man, and the world but from self and its energy.  Let the word and prayer be very precious.

We sink into our willingness to let Him work and reveal Himself.  Do let us wait quietly.

Do it even now… God is light: the father the eternal, in accessible and incomparable light: the sun the light concentrated and embodied, and manifested: the spirit the light enterzing and dwelling and shinning in our hearts.

WAITING ON GOD: IN HUMBLE FEAR AND HOPE.  Ps 33:18-22.

In waiting upon God, our eyes looking up to Him, meets His looking down upon us.  This is the blessedness of waiting upon God that it takes our eyes and thought away from ourselves, even our needs and desires and occupies us with God.

All contradiction are reconciled in God.  Righteousness/peace, judgment /mercy, holiness/love, infinite power/infinite gentleness … fear/hope.  The lower we bow, the nearer God will come, and make our hearts bold to trust and hope.  God’s eye is on them that humble themselves.

It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore. We desire unity so that the power of God will flow among us!

And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

Pray for a revival in the church; for an outpouring of His Spirit bringing a refreshing and bringing people closer to God. Pray that the gift of prophecy be revived in the body of Christ. Zech 10:1: Ask the Lord for rain in the spring and he will give it. It is the Lord who makes storm clouds that drop showers of rain so that every field becomes a lush pasture. (NLT).

  • Pray that God will heal the church of backsliding and restore us. Hos 14:4-8: I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him. I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon. They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon. Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.

7. UNITY OF THE SPIRIT

Ps 133:1-3: Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

Pray for unity among all the believers in this country. Pray that the Lord will open our eyes and give us understanding so that we will walk in love one towards another and walk towards a common goal. We shall not be divided against ourselves.

PERSONAL PRAYER AND CONFESSION:

THE TRUE PLACE OF THE CREATURE. Ps 104:27-30,

Just as much as it was God’s work to create, it is His work to MAINTAIN. The whole creation is ruled by the one unalterable law of waiting upon God – powering into them according to their capacity, the riches of His goodness and power creatures blending dependant on the All Glorious God.

FOR ALL SAINTS: Ps 25:3.

We shall help to bear each other’s burdens, and so fulfilled the law of Christ.  Love to the brethren and love to God are inseparably linked.

Teach us to wait on that for each other and pray for each other.

PRAYER TOPIC: PERSONAL REQUESTS

1. NEW THINGS

Pray for new things in 2014, it’s a new day so lets trust God for new things in our lives. This year shall bring good things towards me and God shall cause the glory of this year to be greater than all the previous years.

Isa 43:18-19: Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing ; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

2. PRAYING IN THE HOLY GHOST

Pray in tongues concerning this new year as we lean on the Holy Spirit to help us to pray Gods will for the new year. As you pray in tongues, we are speaking the mind of God into every single day this year asking for His hand to guide us through the year.

Rom 8:26-28: Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

We don’t know what to pray for as we ought for 2014, therefore we rely on the Holy Spirit to help us to pray as we pray in tongues. As a result, we expect that ALL things will work together for our good.

3. REHOBOTH

Each person should pray to enter into rest this year. All the things we have struggled with in previous years shall cease to exist in 2014. Isaac had so many struggles until the Llord gave Him rest! This year, I will enter into rest and I shall be fruitful in the land.

Gen 26:15-22: For all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth. And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we. And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there. And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them. And Isaac’s servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water. And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac’s herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him. And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah. And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth ; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.

4. SEASON OF INCREASE AND PROMOTION

Pray that this year will be a season of great increase and promotion for you. It is your set time to be favoured and God will speak a word over your life that will move you to greatness. Even though Joseph did not have the qualifications to be a prime minister in Egypt, yet when the word of the Lord came, a prisoner became a prime minister in a foreign land. The Lord will set me on high this year because I know His name.

Ps 105:17-20: He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant: Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron: Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him. The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.

Ps 102:13: Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

Ps 91:14: Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name

PERSONAL PRAYER AND CONFESSION:

WAITING ON GOD: PATIENTLY Ps. 37:7-9.

Ye have need of patience.  Let patience have its perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entice.  Patience is an important Christian character especially in waiting on God. Rom. 9:16…

All is of God that showeth mercy…wait His good time and mercy the waiting is to teach us on absolute dependence upon God’s mighty working, and to make us in perfect patience place ourselves at His disposal.  The patience is ministered to the waiting soul. Is 60:22…Quote.

WAITING ON GOD: KEEPING HIS WAYS. Ps 37:34

When waiting on God we need to be very careful that we keep His ways;

Out of these we never can expect to find Him.  Is 64:5, Ps 37:1-3

Surrender yourself willingly and trustingly to keep all God’s ways.  Don’t be seduced by the way of the wicked.  He will prove Himself God to you and work in you that which is pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ.  Put your power in God’s omnipotence and find in waiting on God your deliverance.

FOR UNLOOKED FOR THINGS. Isaiah 64:4, 1 Cor 2:9, Isaiah 63:15 – Quote, Isaiah 64:1-2 Quote – urgent.

Let us enlarge our hearts to wait on a God able to exceeding abundantly above what we can ask or think (Eph 3:20) Let us band ourselves together as His elect who cry day and night to Him for things men have not seen.  He is able to arise and to make His people a name and a praise in the earth

Note:  Prov 4:20-22: My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. The word of God is medicine to all our flesh, we will be praying and confessing te scriptures over our lives so that we can enjoy healiong and health all through the year.

Ps 105:37: He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. There shall be no sickness upon my body this year in Jesus name.

Because I hearken diligently unto the voice of God and I obey Him, no disease can be put on me for God will not allow any of the diseases in existence to be put upon my body. Therefore I am free from all diseases, known or unknown! Jehovah is my Physician and He keeps my body in good health and divine health, I and my entire household.
  • Ps 103:1-6: Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.  Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:  Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;  Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;  Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s. 
  • The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.  The benefits I enjoy because I know the Lord are many: all my iniquities are forgiven, all my diseases are healed, the Lord has redeemed my life from destruction; the Lord has crowned me with loving kindness and tender mercies…Gods mercies abound in my life and His mercies delivers me from destruction! His mercies bring deliverance from every sickness and every disease. I thank the Lord for His mercy over my life, because of His mercies, I will not be consumed or destroyed by disease! Lam 3:22-23: It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
  • Jer 30:17: For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; the Lord will restore health unto me this year and heal my body of every sickness and disease. I confess that my health is restored and my wounds are healed. I am whole in every part of my body.
  • Isa 53:4-5: Surely he hath borne our grief’s, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Jesus bore my griefs and carried my sorrows, Jesus was afflicted for my sake and with His stripes, I am healed. The healing Jesus obtained for me on the cross is the cure and remedy for every sickness and disease.
  • Ps 91:16: With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation, the Lord satisfies me with long life, He satisfies with good health as He shows me His salvation, therefore I confess that I shall live in good health all through this year and I shall not die, I will declare the works of the Lord in sound health.

Because I serve only the Lord God Jehovah, my bread and water is blessed and the Lord has taken away all sickness from my body and keeps me strong and healthy, even if I drink any deadly thing, it shall not harm me for God has blessed my bread and my water. My life will not be cut off suddenly by disease because God will fulfill the number of my days in Jesus name. The Lord takes away sickness from my body and from my entire household, therefore this year, I will walk in sound health.

  • Rom 8:11: But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

3. JUDGEMENT

The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. Pronounce Gods judgment upon every sickness/disease oppressing your body or your mind. The

sicknesses that hitherto oppressed me shall not be found any longer in my life, sicknesses that oppressed me in the previous years shall not oppress me anymore!

Ex 12:12: For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment : I am the LORD. Oh God, execute judgment upon every sickness and disease in my body. Pray that the Lord will stretch forth His hand upon your life and judge the enemy. Zeph 3:19: And I will deal severely with all who have oppressed you. I will save the weak and helpless ones ;(NLT) check KJV

Pray and command every sickness in your life to dry up, embarrassing sicknesses that bring shame to the name of God, resist all such sicknesses and insist that they would not find a place in your life anymore!

Ps 18:44-45: As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me. The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places. Let every sickness/disease taking residence in my body hear the voice of God and submit themselves to the word, fade away and come out hiding!

4. THE BLESSING

Gal 3:13-14: Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:  That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. The blessing of the Lord is the remedy for every curse, pronounce the blessing of Abraham upon your life which neutralizes every generational sickness or infirmity in my life from henceforth. The curse has been broken over my life and the effect of the curse which has manifested in various sicknesses has been removed. Therefore I am free from my family sickness; every disease passed from generation to generation in my family stops to operate anymore for Jesus has redeemed me from the curse! The blessing of Abraham has come upon me through faith in Jesus Christ.

5. THANKSGIVING

Isa 55:11-13: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off. We shall go out with joy in 2014 and be led forth with peace….SHALOM, nothing missing or broken in our bodies in Jesus’ name. Gods word spoken shall not return unto Him empty, it shall prosper in the thing whereunto we sent it. Rejoice for your healing has broken forth, no more sickness in our camp, no more diseases in our bodies. Wholeness, soundness, divine health all year round!

PERSONAL PRAYER AND CONFESSION:

  1. WAITING ON GOD: IN TIMES OF DARKNESS. Isaiah 8:17.

The privilege of waiting on God is one that brings great responsibility.

Even as Christ, when He outstand God’s presence, at once used His place of privilege and honor as intercessor; so we no less if we know what it is really to enter in and wait upon God, most use our access for or less favored brethren, Let us wait on God and give Him no rest till He makes Zion a joy in the earth. Ps 130:2.

TO REVEAL HIMSELF. IS. 25:9

The power and the blessing of united waiting is what we need to learn.  The great aim will be to bring everyone in a praying worshiping company under a deep sense of God’s presence so that when they part there will be the consciousness of having met God Himself of having left every request with Him and of now waiting in still here while He works out His salvation.  Waiting before God, waiting for God, and waiting on God are the conditions of God showing His presence.

PERSONAL PRAYER AND CONFESSION:

FOR SUPPLIES: Ps 145:14-15.

What animals do unconsciously, Man is call to do intelligently and voluntarily – By our free will it’s only noble and blessed.

An Army waits for supplies it does not proceed without its supplies – Day by day, every step we need supplies from above.  Cultivate the spirit of dependence on God and of confidence in Him.

TO KNOW HIS GOODNESS. LAM 3:25.

There is more good but God (Matt 19:17) His goodness is in the heaven. Ps 31:19, Ps 34:8.  The truly waiting ones will prove His words to be true.

If you want to fully know the goodness of God, give yourself more than ever to a life of waiting on Him.

God graciously uses our needs and desires for help to educate us for something higher than we were thinking of.  We were seeking gifts; He the Giver longs to give Himself and to satisfy the soul with His goodness.  It is just for the reason that He often withholds the gifts and that the time of waiting is made longer.

As the soul learns its secret, every act or excursion of waiting because just a quiet entering unto His goodness.

PRAYER TOPIC: DIVINE PROTECTION, DELIVERANCE AND LONG LIFE

3 John 2:  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

Note:  There is power in the spoken word of God. We would say pray and confess the blessings of God over our lives in the area of our deliverance from evil, divine protection and long life! It is Gods wil that we fulfill our days, protected from Satanic attacks and delivered from the traps set by Satan to bring destruction. 1 John 3:8: He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested , that he might destroy the works of the devil.  What does the word say about our deliverance and protection? The word is the final authority!

1. THE BLESSING

Isa 54:14-17: In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy. No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

In the year 2014 and beyond, I pronounce the blessing upon my life: I shall be far from oppression for I shall not fear; I shall be far from terror for it shall not come near me.

Everyone (man or spirit) who is against me this year shall fall for my sake.

No weapon formed against me shall prosper and I condemn every tongue that rise against me in judgment, I condemn the accuser of the brethren, every accusation of Satan against me this year is condemned. Every word that contradicts Gods word in my life this year, I condemn you!  Rom 8:31-33: What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. God is for me and no one can be against me because I am Gods elect, no one can lay anything to my charge.

Ps 91: He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.  A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.  Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.  For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.  Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.  With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. Use this scripture to pray over your life, pray every statement into your life for this year….A thousand will fall at my side but evil shall not come near me or my household.

2. SPIRITUAL WARFARE

Isa 49:24-26: Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?  But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.  And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

Ps 68:1: Let God arise , let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.  Isa 44:25: That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;

PRAYER: Arise on my behalf this year, O Lord and let all my enemies be scattered. Contend with those that contend against me and save my children. Frustrate the tokens of the liars and make those who make divinations against me mad. Num 23:23: Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought! There is no divination against me, neither is there any enchantment against my life in Jesus’ name.

James 4:7:  Resist the devil , and he will flee from you.
Eph 4:27: Neither give place to the devil.

3. LONG LIFE

Ex 23:25-26: And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfill.

Ps 118:16-17: The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.

Ps 91:16: With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Based on Gods word, I confess that my life will not be cut off suddenly this year. The Lord will fulfill my days and I shall be satisfied with long life. I shall be satisfied with the salvation of the Lord. I shall not die but live, and declare the works of the Lord. I shall not cast my young, the Lord will preserve my seed.

Ps 121:7-8: The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.  The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. The Lord shall preserve me from ALL evil, preserve my going out and my coming in. the Lord shall preserve my life this year in Jesus name.

4. VICTORY

Declare victory over the devil in every area of your life this year, he will not prevail over you. You have victory over sin, over habitual sins for sin shall not have dominion over you.

1 John 4:4: Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. i am of God and have overcome Satan, because the greater one in me puts me over; therefore I am a victor not a victim! I overcome Satan by the blood of the lamb. Give God thanks for He causes you to triumph this year! 2 Cor 2:14:  Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. Rejoice for you have the victory, this year is a year of victory in your life; you have victory over your enemies!

PERSONAL PRAYER AND CONFESSION:

IT’S CERTAINTY OF BLESSING. Isaiah 49:23; 30:18.

Blessed are all they that wait for him.  Ps 25:3

Inspite of all that’s happening around us locally and globally, He calls us to wit on Him, He assures us we will not be put to shame.

In the promises, He reveals Himself in His hidden glory! We will be irresistibly drawn to wait on Him alone. Ps 38:20 – Quote.

The keyword of all our expectation will be, He has said: “All they who wait on me will not be ashamed” Blessed now even in the waiting.  As you wait on Him God drawn near.  He will reveal Himself as the God who will mightily fulfill His every promise.

THE ALMIGHTY ONE. Isaiah 40:31

It is as that revelation enter into our soul that the waiting will become the spontaneous expression of what we know Him to be –a God altogether most worthy to be waited upon.  They will be strong with the strength of God; they will not be weary, like the He, not faint, mount up with wings as Eagles.

Mama Eagle pairs His young Eaglets … Deut 32:11,12.

 PERSONAL PRAYER AND CONFESSION:

  1. FOR REDEMPTION. Lk 2:25, 36, 38.

Here are the mark of a waiting believer – just, righteous is all his conduct, devout, devoted to God, ever walking as in His presence waiting for the consolation of Israel, Looking for the fulfillment of God’s promises: and the Holy Ghost was upon them.

They could do nothing about the birth of Christ but wait!  We too can do nothing about the revelation of Christ in our hearts but wait.  The service of our utter and absolute helplessness, the confidence that God can and will do all, are the marks of our waiting.

It is possible to be waiting continually on God, but not only upon Him.  There may be other secret confidences intervening and preventing the blessing that was expected… ONLY.

Destiny knows your privilege and want thou only upon God

Eyes, hands and feet, mind and thought, may have to intently engaged in the duties of the life.  But only my soul can wait on God.

Two enemies that want our attention, the world and self, But tell your soul wait ONLY on the God.

Remember your helplessness and the absolute sufficiency of God.

Enter deeply into your relationship of dependence on God, to receiver from Him every moment what He gives.
