Encouragement

6/6/15

- when you get up in the morning, go over your schedule with the Lord. Pray, "Father, You've already seen this day that I'm about to experience. Tell me the things that are important today and then help me to focus on them."

(Rick Warren Daily Devotion)

- Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come. (Jeremiah 33:3 NLT)

S: Stretch out your hand with healing power; may miraculous signs and wonders be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” After this prayer, the meeting place shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Then they preached the word of God with boldness. (Acts of the Apostles 4:30-31 NLT)

For instance, there was Joseph, the one the apostles nicknamed Barnabas (which means “Son of Encouragement”). (Acts of the Apostles 4:36a NLT)

O: Planning is important. Have clear smart goals and a plan of exciting them. I have overall life goals. I need to work backwards from them and ask God to guide me in my decision making. Planning is important in building my name. God has anointed us and the Holy Spirit has guided us to miraculous healing, through the lives we will touch within the Hope. We're in the business of restoring lives! Filled with the Spirit, we will preach the word of God with boldness. 

A: I am Barnabas, a daughter of encouragement. Just as Barnabas raised up Paul, I will rise up a generation, a people who may have suffered much, but God will turn it around. I need to make a plan of execution. I am the tool, the match that God is using to ignite this Valley with a new legacy. We will break the curse by stretching out our hands, with hope, restoration and change. It's time to live in the spirit and preach like never before with boldness.

P: Jesus! Name above all names!!!! We come knee bowed at your feet. Let your Spirit feel this place! May your glory overwhelm us. Continue to speak through your word, for your servant is listening. I am unclear how the church for The Hope will be, but may I not be selfish. May your will, not mine be done. You are showing me glimpse of your glory. May I take hold of what you are showing me. Help me to plan accordingly. May not our will, but yours be done. In Jesus name, amen.
