Pray out loud, at all times, in all that you do... so that
others may hear and agree and be saved and empowered. In the name of
Jesus. Amen.
pray
PRAY
like never before, all day long, under your breath, in your heart, in
your thoughts, out loud in the car, mumbling to yourself in the crowd,
unafraid of who hears, unashamed of looking foolish, owning the title
crazy and weird... pray.
if ever there was a time, an hour, a moment, an urgency... it is now.
pray over your families, your government, your community, your church,
your friends, all that you have been given authority over to influence
and protect and press and pull and lead into the image of Jesus Christ.
If we are not praying and declaring things into this world, it remains
unchanged. It remains empty and dark and full of luke warm pools of
stagnant putrid water... is that a clear enough image...
speak
pray
declare
when we do... oh if you could only see into that other realm... if you
could only see the power attached to your breath and the calories
expended...
the Spirit of God lives in you... it attaches
an anointing to every word... it goes forth as you pray, as you speak,
as you think, as you do... and something begins to stir...
where are you aiming such power?
are the sights of your weapon set on what matters?
have you not even lifted the barrel, or even wondered how to pull the trigger?
are you shell-shocked and standing with your mouth gaping as you watch
the enemy rape and ravage and rob all that you love and every person
that you were to protect???
raise your weapon!
this is war...
PRAY.
without ceasing, in all things, about everything, about everyone, all
day, and night, in your busyness, in your boredom, over your loved
ones, into the lives of your enemy...
that stirring, that one small moment of breath... sets a whole world into motion.
you thought it was all about keeping you alive... that breathing that
you do, that feeding of oxygen to your brain, to your body... no, it's
about so much more....
you breathe without ceasing,
now pray without ceasing...
it is the breath of life.
so speak life...

(Ephesians 6:17-18)
17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is
the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all
kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always
keep on praying for all the saints.
(Acts 12:5)
Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
(Romans 1:9)
For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his
Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;
(1 Thessalonians 5:17)
Pray without ceasing.
(2 Timothy 1:3)
I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience,
that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and
day;

you don't know what the outcome will be... only God knows.
some will choose to go their own way, some will reject the good that
God has planned and that you have claimed for them... do not be
discouraged by the appearance of things.
do not be discouraged
do not think it hopeless
do not think it bigger than God says it is
be faithful, plant, water, pray, believe, and trust God to bring the increase.
the outcome isn't your concern, the laboring is... don't blame, don't
find fault, don't look for excuses... God will let you find them just
as surely as he will pass you over if you choose to remain enslaved to
lukewarmness...
he is looking for the faithful, the
committed, the diligent, the honest, the genuine, those seeking his
heart and his will, those who are passionate to reflect his image and
his love.
FAITH
faith
you gotta trust him with the outcome as you diligently plant and water and pray...
pray
without ceasing.

6I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
7So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
8Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall
receive his own reward according to his own labour. (I Corinthians 3;
KJV)
6I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God
made it grow. 7So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything,
but only God, who makes things grow. 8The man who plants and the man
who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his
own labor. (NIV)
