This Week Remember:

Prayer from John Paul Jackson via Facebook

A post from John Paul Jackson on Facebook:

A lot of you have been asking to post this. Here is the prayer that John Paul prayed on the episode of the "Mystery of the Father's Blessing" Have a wonderful weekend!

Therefore, may “The LORD bless you and keep you;
The LORD make His face shine upon you,
and be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you,
and give you peace.”And from me, May you reach the purpose for which you wer...e created. May you have courage above your peers.

May you have more passion for the things of God
than others think is necessary. May you dream more than others think is practical, and may you expect more than others think is possible. May you choose wisely, without earthly bias.

You have people to influence that you have not yet met.
You have lives to change that are waiting for your arrival.

You are strategically placed wherever God takes you by His grand design, just so you can become all He made you to be. That place is the place you can best grow, the place you can be most fruitful, the place where the future is changed because of your presence.
May you see vistas that others do not even know exist.

May you see God in every petal of every flower and in every blade of grass for each of them are designed by His hand. May you bless your children and may they become giants in the faith under the mighty hand of God.You will not fail, you were made by God to be here—for such a time as this.

Motives Matter--June 22, 2014

Power Thought for the Week from Apostle Stephen Garner:

The motives of our heart are the driving force for our passion and all that inspires us to do what we do. Scripture warns us in Philippians 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. The only way this is possible is to constantly allowing LOVE to be our MOTIVATOR. He will never fail you because LOVE is the one who above all is faithful and pure!

Marriage Moment from Marriage Works via Facebook:

Do the little things that matter to your spouse well and consistently.

Principles for Effective Communication:

Communication is the life line of any relationship.  Without it, the relationship will starve to death.

Voice-Activated Victories:

I will become God’s promotion, in the name of Jesus. Let every principle of heaven for my life take root, in the name of Jesus. O Lord, protect my portion, in the name of Jesus. Let Your glory, O Lord, speak for me today, in the name of Jesus. Let Your power establish my promotion, in the name of Jesus. Change my identity in the name of Jesus. 

O Lord, ...honor me with the provision of heaven, in the name of Jesus. O Lord, release my tongue to prosper, in the name of Jesus. Every good thing I touch will prosper and become a harvest, in the name of Jesus. I receive the mantle to harvest good things, in the name of Jesus. O Lord, gather my portions, in the name of Jesus. My promotion shall not be mistakenly carried away with the wind, in the name of Jesus. 

Let my words carry divine fire, in the name of Jesus. O Lord, send help to me from above, in the name of Jesus. I suspend every mystery of oppression working around me, in the name of Jesus. Destiny swallowers, vomit my destiny, in the name of Jesus. I recover my stolen vehicle of destiny, in the name of Jesus. 

I walk in divine acceleration in the name of Jesus. Today doors of extraordinary favor be OPENED unto me and my family in Jesus' name. During this summer the anointing of multiplication and increase shall overtake my life, family, church, and destiny.

Voice Activation from Pastor Tonya Hall via Facebook

Lord I thank you for giving me the victory over every challenging situation. I thank you that my life is in Your hands and I don't have to lean to my own understanding. I choose to TRUST You, and I am safe. I take authority of any kind of thinking that is contrary to the will of God and the Purpose of God for my Life. 

I pull down every stronghold that... exalts against the knowledge of God. I WALK in VICTORY. I reject and refuse anything that is not attached to my breakthrough. Holy Spirit thank you for cleansing my inner person. Joseph's life was changed by one appointment with Pharaoh I thank You that You have a life-transforming appointment has been set up for me. This is my appointed time of FAVOR. Divine Restoration has taken over my life. Your favor on me will provoke others to pursue You in a deeper relationship. 

This next victory will SILENCE my haters in Jesus' Name. Today every oppressor against my breakthrough will DROWN in a Red Sea. Every doer of evil, that has touched my life for evil, receive the torment of the Holy Spirit and be confounded and confused, in the name of Jesus. Every surveillance demon, guardian demon, and delegated demon, assigned to my life, receive the fire of God and be separated from me, in the name of Jesus. 

Let my name be coated with the fire of God, whenever its being called for evil, let the thunder fire of God answer, in the name of Jesus. Every spirit, power and personality working against my elevation, die, in the name of Jesus. I will not engage in unprofitable endeavors. 

I am anointed for God's Increase in Jesus' Name. Special doors will open for me to share the word of God. I am equipped for success, and I represent Christ WELL in Jesus' Name amen. #NOTHINGCANSTOPMENOW
