Joyful

S: “Joyful are people of integrity, who follow the instructions of the LORD. Joyful are those who obey his laws and search for him with all their hearts. They do not compromise with evil, and they walk only in his paths.” Psalms 119:1-3 NLT

“My suffering was good for me, for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees.” Psalms 119:71 NLT

“You made me; you created me. Now give me the sense to follow your commands.” Psalms 119:73 NLT

O: JOYFUL is he who is honest in his values. When his values align with the word of God. JOYFUL is he who lives in obedience to the word of God and seeks after God with their whole heart. They are unwavering against evil and walk along the path set out for them. 

A: My suffering has taught me to be he who is joyful. I pay even closer attention to Gods words and make sure it is aligned in my approach to everything. I know who I am, a child of the most high! He made me a powerful compassionate person and created me to use it for his service. I have to have sense to keep myself aligned with his word. 

P: I am nothing without you, oh prince of peace. I am nothing without you oh patient father and faithful deliverer. Great is your name! Holy is your name! Provider and way maker is your name, hallelujah!!!! It is in you that I live! You have established my place in your kingdom. I am nothing without you. You have called me into your will and I will be JOYFUL!!!! All praise be to you oh Heavenly Father. It's in you I live all of my being!!!! I am nothing without you. Give me a yearning after your word daily, may I never turn from it. Forgive me for trying to rush the process, I'd rather be patient in your will, than do and be who I am to be prematurely. I WILL REAP A HARVEST!!!! My season is here. Deliver me from anything that maybe keeping me from getting deeper and closer to you. It's in you I am JOYFUL!!!! I pray this in the living name of Jesus. Amen.

Reverence

S: “Fear of the LORD is the foundation of true wisdom. All who obey his commandments will grow in wisdom. Praise him forever!” Psalms 111:10 NLT

“Praise the LORD! How joyful are those who fear the LORD and delight in obeying his commands. Their children will be successful everywhere; an entire generation of godly people will be blessed. They themselves will be wealthy, and their good deeds will last forever.”

Psalms 112:1-3 NLT

“What can I offer the LORD for all he has done for me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and praise the LORD’s name for saving me. I will keep my promises to the LORD in the presence of all his people.”

Psalms 116:12-14 NLT

O: Reverence of who the Lord is, is wisdom. Doing what he has called you to  do grows wisdom. Therefore we praise God when we are functioning in our gift. Our praise will give us joy and we will delight in every other role we play because we reverence the commands of the Lord. It all comes back full circle and in abundance. It starts to flow to our children and they will succeed in everything. 

A: Because I chose to reverence God. I changed the whole makeup of a generation. My grand babies and great grand babies will be blessed and will be wealthy. They will make a difference!!!! The only way I can repay God for all he has done is to do what he has ordained for me to do in the lighr of his presence.

P: I humbly accept all you have called me to. In Jesus name. Amen.

Obey all the commands

S: ““So now, with God as our witness, and in the sight of all Israel—the LORD’s assembly—I give you this charge. Be careful to obey all the commands of the LORD your God, so that you may continue to possess this good land and leave it to your children as a permanent inheritance. “And Solomon, my son, learn to know the God of your ancestors intimately. Worship and serve him with your whole heart and a willing mind. For the LORD sees every heart and knows every plan and thought. If you seek him, you will find him. But if you forsake him, he will reject you forever. So take this seriously. The LORD has chosen you to build a Temple as his sanctuary. Be strong, and do the work.””

1 Chronicles 28:8-10 NLT

“Then David continued, “Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Don’t be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. He will see to it that all the work related to the Temple of the LORD is finished correctly.”

1 Chronicles 28:20 NLT

“Give my son Solomon the wholehearted desire to obey all your commands, laws, and decrees, and to do everything necessary to build this Temple, for which I have made these preparations.””

1 Chronicles 29:19 NLT

O: David is the example of the command he is leaving. He's saying in order for you to possess the land, you have to obey the command and because you obeyed the command the land will be given as a permanent inheritance to your children. We pave the way for our children. He prepare them for what God has called them to. Oh what joy it would be to pave the way for Kamea and provide the proper preparations for her to flourish! Whoo, that in my passing she will not want for anything but receive all God has for her through me. David says all this than puts it into action by blessing his son. I today pray the same over Kamea.

A: “Kamea, my daughter, learn to know the God of your ancestors intimately. Worship and serve him with your whole heart and a willing mind. For the LORD sees every heart and knows every plan and thought. If you seek him, you will find him. But if you forsake him, he will reject you forever. So take this seriously. The LORD has chosen you. Be strong, and do the work.””

“Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Don’t be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. He will see to it that all the work related to the Temple of the LORD is finished correctly.”

P: Sovereign Lord, you are worthy to be praised. Your name is higher than any other. You have commanded your kingdom to come amongst us it is and heaven. You have also commanded your will to be done in my life. By me obeying these commands it automatically gives Kamea the permanent inheritance. “Give my daughter Kamea the wholehearted desire to obey all your commands, laws, and decrees, and to do everything necessary to build up what you have called her to build, for which I have made these preparations.”” By me completing the necessary steps to launch the business according to your command I set Kamea in motion permanently. Forgive me for dragging my feet and not giving my all to your commands. Deliver me from fear and doubt. In the name of Jesus I pray, amen.

You who love the LORD

S: “You who love the LORD, hate evil! He protects the lives of his godly people and rescues them from the power of the wicked.” Psalms 97:10 NLT

O: Evil, wickedness and demons all exist. Therfore it is important to love the Lord for in him there is protection. In him he defeats the power of evil, wickedness and demons! 

A: To be evil, wicked and being lead by demons is real. Yet the more I hate evil and love God by clinging to his spirit and truth, the more he will show up and rescue me. I have the power to conquer fear for I belong to God.

P: I surrender all! I surrender all! All to you my awesome creator! Faithful is your name! I belong to you and your love oh Lord. Your kingdom is my home and your will is my resting place. Forgive me for not making this time with you sacred. Deliver me from fear and may my soul rest easy in your love God. I love you Lord and I honor you. Be with me, protect me and rescue me from evil, wickedness, and demons for your name sake. In Jesus name I pray, amen.

The Lord speaks through

S: ““The Spirit of the LORD speaks through me; his words are upon my tongue. The God of Israel spoke. The Rock of Israel said to me: ‘The one who rules righteously, who rules in the fear of God, is like the light of morning at sunrise, like a morning without clouds, like the gleaming of the sun on new grass after rain.’ “Is it not my family God has chosen? Yes, he has made an everlasting covenant with me. His agreement is arranged and guaranteed in every detail. He will ensure my safety and success.”

2 Samuel 23:2-5 NLT

O: Gods words are in my mouth and speak through me by the power of the Holy Spirit. If I rule my home based on godly righteousness, and in fear of God when I stand confident in my values I speak in love. My words won't pierce the heart but as calming and powerful as the light of sunrise it will gleam over the heart. Therfore, God has promised to bless my children. He has chosen them as the changed generation. He has worked out every detail and ensures their safety and success. 

A: I am where I need to be. Finish the core values and make them clear. Write out life goals, begin with the end to execute those goals and make yearly, monthly, weekly, daily smart goals to complete them. Once I set in stone my core values the more defined they will be to execute in every area of my life without wavering from the spirit that is within me.

P: Magnificent Father, there is none like you. Holy and righteous is your name. Your kingdom is here, your will is being refined within me. I pray for creative juices to flow from me, may my goals align with your will and your word. May I continue to daily develop and not stray from my values. Forgive me for not being in alignment sooner. May I be diligent in all you have called me to do as your child, wife, mother, Liz, my education and my business. Making sure my house is in order and my finances are managed are responsibilities to my family. I can't neglect who I will become and continue to be in the process. My personal development is apart of my education. Delver me from slothful ways and set me in the place I should follow. You are worthy. I praise you and thank you for awakening my amazing!!!! You're awesome, in Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Wait Expectantly

S: “O LORD, hear me as I pray; pay attention to my groaning. Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for I pray to no one but you. Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.” Psalms 5:1-3 NLT

O: This verse stuck out to me right away but I wasn't going to chose it because it said, "expectantly." In marriage they tell you not to expect things from your spouse but to live in anticipation. We usually have a high level of expectation from our spouses or for people in general. However, when going over this verse, I was doing the former, why would I pray and expect something from God, I'm not suppose to live in expectation. I realized that it's different, I can have a high level of expectation from God, he has never failed me. Waiting expectantly is given faith to my request. 

A: I know God hears me as I pray. I know without a shadow of doubt he pays attention to my every groan, whimper or cry. He listens and is excited with me and celebrates with me. Oh what a king, oh what a God! He alone I pray to and long to be in his presence. Every morning he here's my voice and is delighted to hear from me. Every day I bring request to God, it would be foolish of me to not wait, delay action, expectantly, look forward to. My problem is that I over analyze everything instead of delaying my response to everything and look forward to Gods answer to make sure I am in alignment with his plan. That is what made David a man after God's heart, he was aligned with God.

P: I don't know if it's possible, great and mighty God to be a woman after your own heart in this day and age. You are magnificent and holy! Your kingdom is here, your will for me is to help build it. Daily I pray never have I prayed expecting. My subconscious and I forgive myself for living in fear and doubting you as I pray. Deliver me from not having full trust in you. You are amazing God. Fill me up with more of you. I wait in expectation of my dreams becoming reality in Jesus name, amen

Who is this man?

S: “Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “My own son is trying to kill me. Doesn’t this relative of Saul have even more reason to do so? Leave him alone and let him curse, for the LORD has told him to do it. And perhaps the LORD will see that I am being wronged and will bless me because of these curses today.”" 2 Samuel 16:11-12 NLT

“The king was overcome with emotion. He went up to the room over the gateway and burst into tears. And as he went, he cried, “O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! If only I had died instead of you! O Absalom, my son, my son.”” 2 Samuel 18:33 NLT

O: Who is this man? Once again David is fleeing from his own London and kingship because someone is after his position. David was anointed as King, it was his purpose not his right. Absalom wanted to take his position as his own then killing his father. David runs into a relative of Saul who wants to kill him for taking the position of King fron Saul. Who is this man, David that despite Saul relative and his own son his response is let the Lord handle that perhaps he will see I am being wronged and bless me. Who is this man? Although his son had pre planned to kill him, assembled the whole Israelite army to do so, than hearing of his sons death responds, it only it was me instead. Who is this man? The man God himself appointed and anointed as King.

A: Who am I and what is my response? I was appointed and anointed to speak. The field I am getting in is hard to maintain but it's not my position, it's my calling. I can't predetermine in my mind what in going to do. It's not about me. David let go and let God handle the situation. His son died but David's anointing wasn't any less. Who am I and what is my response?

P: Sovereign God, holy is your name. Your kinship is here and it wrings blessings over me. I have yet to be in want. Your will has been appointed and anointed over me. Yet daily I neglect giving my time and attention to my craft. Forgive me for not listening to you and executing may my response be different. May my response be like David, spirit led in the anointing. Deliver me from old paradigms. Shift my thinking and renew my mind. In Jesus name I pray, amen.
