Love, Laura Gant

Hello, I'm Laura Gant, the author of Prayer Woman: 41 Days Of Praying Over Your Husband. My book is a fast. God had me go on this fast for unity in my marriage, and during my personal 41 days, and He spoke to me daily. I made handwritten colorful index cards and taped them all over my prayer wall, where I pray daily. As I leaned in to listening to the voice of God, He spoke, and I wrote. But, it started out just a personal fast for my marriage. I didn't know it would turn into a book, or a movement of women on the same mission....but God! When the Lord spoke to me three months after my fast had ended, He gave me a date to publish the book, which is essentially my handwritten notes that He spoke over me. It is with great honor and joy to give you this Prayer Woman book, and now do it together, arms linked. Here is a snippet of the 41 day fast of women who are leaning in to Jesus' heart. Enjoy this Day 1, and enroll at lauragant.com/prayerwoman for access to daily series of videos to be done with the lessons in the book.

The Lord has been calling me to go deeper still, into the rich presence of Him. As I've been answering the call, yet again, my answer is "YES, Lord!" Jesus is so faithful to peel back layer after layer on me that has accumulated over the years, and revive my innermost parts. God has gone beyond removing my shackles of shame, tears and ash and brokenness, and instead, spoken a word of life..."COME ALIVE!" I know He can do the same for you. Will you trust Him? Get ready for breakthrough, healing, reviving, and promise! It's yours for the taking, but will you surrender to Jesus in a more intimate way than you've ever known possible? Let's go, sister.

In this episode, I host Maria Collins, a fellow sister in the Lord and Life Coach. She discusseshow to be your Husband's helper, be aligned with your God given purpose, and keep your family first with these three tips: Stay humble and serve, Listen to God's voice,  and Abide with Jesus so that are able to give generously to your husband and your family.Learn marriage tips for: Having your husband's back, Speaking up, Putting down offense, and Serving your spouse. Maria shares on how to grow with your spouse in communication by no longer using the words “never” and “always” because they make your spouse feel like they can't meet your expectations.  Even if something is missing in your communication or marriage or heart, stop focusing on the negative and trade it with gratefulness.Serve your husband and your family as UNTO THE LORD, not from his energy or your bitterness or bad attitude. We must reflect Jesus, to woo your family by kindness, to break down walls of offenses, and press in to the Presence of God where HE ignites you for your pouring out.When you have a miscommunication with your spouse, pray: “God, give me the right words and take what I want to have happen, so that I can be your vessel for sowing Your good." After you go to God, then, ask your husband ‘how can I pray for you? What is attacking you? Let's bring this to light, this is God's house, and we will fight TOGETHER!'Go to GOD first to help your spouse, with humility and as his cheerleader, not from a correcting, teaching, or wounded spirit. Be a friend, support, and cheerleader to him. Defer your emotions in the hiding place. Give your desires and needs to God first so that you can bring your husband peace, honor, respect, and safety!The More you speak Life, Living things in your marriage will come alive.For your children: we are example in the home, as moms, who are raising mighty arrows in the Lord's awesome army to go out and exemplify the love of Jesus.Book a Vision Session with Maria Collins:  https://calendly.com/maria_collinsFind Laura Gant:Join the Living Aura Movement monthly membership of women growing in the Word, in heart, marriage, business, and life.

Do you realize that your spirit is your responsibility?In Proverbs 25:28 it says, “whoever has no rule over his own spirit is like a city broken down, without walls.”When your spirit is like a city with broken down walls it makes that city defenseless.Perhaps your spirit, your city, has had its defense system against attacks become damaged or maybe it has tumbled down altogether.What makes your spirit vulnerable for attack?If we don't take care of investing in and pouring into our spirit, it can become weak.The Lord has been showing me the power of living on manna from Him daily, and not to rely upon What I got yesterday or last year or even from previous years of strength in God,But instead, to DAILY feed my spirit, get daily Manna, provision, from spending time with Jesus.This builds up your city walls, repairs cracks in the foundation and breaches in our fortificationsThat become open to every kind of imaginable attack.Attacks come from our own mind, our own misunderstanding, from situations we didn't expect, from people , from our loved ones, and from the devil.But in any of these, we have a choice to make for how our spirit will respond.If our spirit has not been fortified by God's presence and time in His Word, then we are already weakened.The reason why it's vital to take responsibility for your spirit is that : Your spirit make way for you in life. Your spirit is the key to your future, whether it's one minute or hour or year from now, your spirit is the gateway.In Proverbs 4:23, it says that we should guard it all diligence.Poor choices, lack of wisdom and understanding, emotional instability, unmet needs, unforgiveness, pride. These all lead to weakening our spirit, which leaves us open and vulnerable for assault. Assault can come in many ways to distract, tempt, misguide, and take us completely out of mission.So what is your mission that you are needing to show up for with a strong spirit?It's being a wife, a mother, a business owner, a homemaker, a friend, a sister, a daughter, a pastor, an encourager.Daniel 6:3 says that Daniel had an excellent spirit. It was this quality that changed how King Nebuchadnezzar viewed him, and as a result of Daniel's spirit, he was favored and promoted.Your spirit is your light. It's what attracts favor in your life. If you've been asking for a promotion, something to happen in your marriage, an answered prayer, a miracle, then focus on the health and purity of your spirit.Ask yourself:Are you teachable? Humble? Obedient to God? Do you listen more than you prove your point?There are many spirits that you simply cannot teach. You cannot teach an arrogant spirit, a know-it-all spirit, or a proud spirit.But you can teach a humble one.PRAYER: Lord, help me to lead my heart and spirit to Jesus daily, that my spirit may be excellent, pure, radiant, and right before you, Lord. Bring to mind anything that has caused me to live ‘wounded', and enable me to have a right spirit. Renew a right spirit within me. Increase my purity to see how to fortify it, how to listen to your voice, and know and obey your will that I may walk into my glorious future and Your good plans for my life. Reveal leaks in my spirit that sabotage its health. Open doors of opportunity for me because of what you are doing in my spirit. Help me, God, to resist a polluted spirit, so that I can be free to be generous to others.JOIN LIVING AURAIf you are a daughter of the King who wants to grow in her faith, join the Living Aura Movement today for monthly lessons, prayer, journal prompts, special guest speakers, and faith activators delivered right into your member portal.

Are you feeling stuck, sad, depressed,Why should I know about the Favor of God?Why do I need it?Have you ever wanted a change in your life, but you didn't know how to get there? How do I become more, make my life better? How do I stop pushing through and get relief from sadness, depression, loss? How do I get real blessing, favor, and happiness?Finding and standing in the Favor of God is: being in the Word, being in His presence, and allowing yourself to be available for Jesus to come live with you, as you abide in Him. If doors aren't opening up for you, you feel aimless, and are feeling all the NOs of life, like life is closing you up, find Jesus' presence.The favor of God fulfills you, remains with you, gives you real and lasting purpose. It goes to fight FOR you in your darkest hour. It's your weapon of victory.Stop attempting to "put on", "adding" THIINGS in your life in your failed attempt to get happiness and success. If you want more peace, take off striving. If you want joy in your home, answered prayers, lasting fulfillment, then the favor of God is available for you.

He knew there was a God, but he lived as if God didn't exist. Tired of his own hypocrisy, disgusted with his life, he sat down in the back room of his studio one night, put his head in his hands, and prayed: “Lord, if You can use someone like me after all I have done to wound Your heart, I make myself available to You.” He transformed the exercise studio into an outreach center. By 1984, Turning Point Ministries was recognized as a church, and to this day is the umbrella ministry for Somebody Cares. His years of ministry have taken him to numerous communities and nations; from urban to foreign missions; from garbage dumps to the palaces and halls of government leaders. As an Asian-American, Doug is considered a bridge-builder of reconciliation among various ethnic and religious groups. From preachers to politicians, he is recognized as an ambassador. Doug is a sought-after international conference and crusade speaker. Annually he addresses thousands throughout the U.S. and abroad on topics such as compassion evangelism, persevering leadership and community transformation, and more. Additionally he is invited by civic leaders including mayors and police officials to address issues in major cities across the US. From one-on-one ministry to crusades of thousands, Doug is a revivalist at heart. He burns with an evangelistic passion to see people reached with the Gospel. He is also a licensed counselor.

Join me for another episode on leveling up by taking courageous actions, even if they aren't completely planned or ready, going after your business dreams, getting a coach, and learning to keep going and adapt when seasons of life change. GUEST: Rebecca WilcoxRebecca Wilcox is a Motivational Life Coach for women who want to rise up for more in their life, relationships, dreams or desires.She worked in HR for Gulf Oil Houston after she received her BSBA from the University of Arkansas. Her side hustle was getting gemstones from Brazil and designing jewelry for her customers.In the late 80's, she moved to Arkansas to help run the family feed store business while raising 3 kids.Because of her love for people and connecting them to the area, she began Arkansas Welcome Service welcoming newcomers to the community which she did for 10 years.Rebecca's philanthropic side lead her to be the Executive Director of the local United Way which she did for 4 years before needing to run the feed store full time.As 2013 arrived, Rebecca realized she was settling for a business that was draining her personal finances as well as her energy. She closed the brick-and-mortar business and moved it online to Amazon.By 2017, Rebecca felt that tug for wanting more in her life; wanting to connect with like-minded people who enjoyed self-growth and learning.Her research, coaches, courses and study lead her to create the group, Women Courageously Living.

It's a super fine line, to know how to live the balance of wisdom and childlike wonder. But it is SO possible. It's just something to learn, and once you learn, oh my goodness, the best sense of freedom comes. Looking into this mindset from the outside, you might see a tinge of the opposite of freedom, because it looks like I'm saying there's a rule to follow with the hype of hope. But actually, once you try this, you'll understand that it's truly a lifesaver to your inner energy! So, what press in this week to pause and hear the word for your year.Keeping your inner energy alive, untamed, childlike, hopeful, optimistic..this changes everything.Here's a mind reframe:  You are a creator, not a consumer. You can do anything. You can have anything. Money is infinite. Creativity is infinite. Love is infinite. So, take love, for an example….if you know, in your heart of hearts, that love is infinite then you know that it is also your superpower when you allow it to play full out. Are you pushing down any ounce of loving your inner energy and creativity and dreams? Is some form of letdown, warped identity, abandonment, rejection, fear, anxiety, depression voicing its truth in a megaphone? Louder than your superpower? Then you're not living full out. Write this down: “I give myself permission to enthusiastically hope inside every flowing step I take in my momentum towards abundance.”Haven't left a review yet? I invite you to head on over to iTunes. Thanks for your support.

Just Go For It. Jump in faith and promise! I believe in you. You are an overcomer, a doer, and you are totally awesome in your unique voice.
