At the start of March, specifically on the first day, I shared an inspiring message focused on the themes of kingdoms, dominions, and thrones. There has been an increase in activity that reinforces the importance of this timely message, which we must embrace to remain faithful watchmen and Portals of heaven's unfolding prophetic agenda.To truly comprehend the kingdom of God is to perceive it as the living, dynamic realm of God's life, perfectly embodied in the person of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our capacity to grasp the significance and extent of God's dominion over all human affairs and authority is directly proportional to our understanding of Christ as the King of kings and Lord of lords. This is not some religious theoretical knowledge, but experiential life of Christ embedded in the display of wisdom in anyone who has received Christ and are growing in obedience to his voice daily.Those familiar with the book of Daniel will immediately recognize this truth. One of the most magnificent displays of God's wisdom and majesty in Babylon was the revelation of God's absolute dominion over the kingdoms of men. Daniel and his companions didn't defeat Babylon through military might or political maneuvering. Rather, Babylon was brought to its knees through the power of men who maintained a lifestyle of devoted consecration before their heavenly Father.The living reality of God's presence within these faithful men demonstrated to Babylon that its worldly glory paled in comparison to the vast authority of God's kingdom residing within yielded vessels. This teaches us a profound truth: we cannot function in the elevated wisdom and governmental authority of God's kingdom when we lack the revelation of Christ's ascended life as sovereign over all things. The Scripture's PromiseDaniel 7:27 declares: "Then the sovereignty, dominion, and greatness of the kingdoms under all of heaven will be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will serve and obey Him."This revelation of the kingdom begins not with external conquest but with Christ's inner dominion over our hearts and the entirety of our being. The Gospel of the Kingdom commences with acknowledging Christ's authority over our interior lives our thoughts, motives, agendas, and imaginations must come under His government. Whatever we seek to understand or communicate regarding the kingdom must flow from the reality of the inward life we've embraced in Christ. Only then can such a life begin to influence our immediate world until those around us feel and witness the impact of this kingdom lifestyle.The True Nature of Kingdom CitizensThe kingdom of God manifests as the maturation of an incorruptible seed sown in those who have genuinely received Christ's life through grace and faith. This is not mere verbal confession or religious adherence, as many mistakenly assume today. Rather, it represents a radical transformation of one's entire thought pattern and lifestyle. As a result, kingdom citizens develop value systems and worldviews that appear completely alien to the surrounding culture. They become, in the truest sense, ambassadors of another realm—representatives whose primary citizenship lies elsewhere.Different Approaches to Kingdom TeachingMany devoted followers have faithfully proclaimed aspects of this Kingdom Gospel through their commitment to seeking the Father's heart. They have counted everything as loss to gain the excellence of the ascended revelation of Christ. Their spiritual understanding has been cleansed and illuminated through the ever-increasing life of God within them.
Dr. Camale D walks us through the purpose and principles of Intercessory prayer.
Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Father Charles Murr joins Terry Gospel - John 8:12-20 -Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." So the Pharisees said to Him, "You testify on Your own behalf, so Your testimony cannot be verified." Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I do testify on My own behalf, My testimony can be verified, because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you do not know where I come from or where I am going. You judge by appearances, but I do not judge anyone. And even if I should judge, my judgment is valid, because I am not alone, but it is I and the Father Who sent Me. Even in your law it is written that the testimony of two men can be verified. I testify on My behalf and so does the Father Who sent Me." So they said to Him, "Where is Your father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My Father. If you knew Me, you would know My Father also." He spoke these words while teaching in the treasury in the temple area. But no one arrested Him, because His hour had not yet come. Memorial of Saint John Baptist de la Salle, Priest Saint John, pray for us! Bishop Sheen quote of the day
Intercessory prayer is praying God's heart for a hurting world. Jesus' Spirit-anointed mission to the oppressed invites us to pray for those in need and participate in their liberation.
WHEN THE LORD BUILD UP ZION. The days ahead of the church and the nations is one that is already being shaped by the forces of influence. This influence is one of government; i am referring to spiritual government. All governments are spiritually rooted because man by default is spiritual.All that we are and represent is directly linked to spiritual influence. The challenge, however, is when we allow ignorance and the agendas of darkness to take advantage of the power and influence of our spirituality to seek to establish a contrary government on earth and that is what the enemy has sought to do since the advent of christ.Ezekiel 22:30“I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one.”The present era is a pivotal moment in the unfolding of God's prophetic initiatives across the globe. If there is a singular focus that will define the current emphasis and directives of heaven, it is the cultivation of a well-developed, mature intercessory spirit. The depth and quality of our understanding of intercession—and our approach to operating within the intercessory space—are critical to the Body of Christ. Indeed, the lack of a robust intercessory framework is arguably one of the key reasons for the unfortunate stagnation and decline in spiritual effectiveness observed in the Church over the past few decades.The Intercessory Space: A Foundational WombThe intercessory space is the spiritual womb that carries, births, and nurtures all ministry gifts and leadership qualities. This sacred space is where divine purposes are conceived and brought to fruition. When this space is compromised, every other structure we attempt to build crumbles like a house of cards. Intercession is not merely a supplemental activity within the Church; it is the bedrock upon which the health and vitality of all other spiritual functions rest. Without intercessory competence, the Church risks birthing immature and unstable leadership and ministries that cannot withstand the pressures of a broken world.
Prayer is mysterious. Jesus demystifies it by encouraging us simply to start praying. If we need something? Ask God for it. If we have a cry for justice, then shout it out. The newest part of this teaching by Jesus seems to be the shock that someone wouldn't pray for their needs or the needs of others. What's the difference? Jesus knows God as Father, a loving parent. Of course there's room to bring all of our needs before that kind of God.
Beginnings of Prayer – Part 5: Start Now and Improve Your Prayer Life -- A Robust Prayer Life Will Transform Your Life MESSAGE SUMMARY: INTRODUCTIOIN -- Prayer is: 1) spending time with God – acknowledging God's presence in all our lives' activities; and 2) conversation with God – listening to and talking with God. Prayer reflects on our relationship with God. Why don't we pray. The Apostle James, in James 4:2-3, provides a perspective regarding Prayer Life: “You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions." In praying, we should know the difference between prayers of "petition" (praying for one's own needs) and prayers of "intercession" (praying for the needs of others). God wants prayers of "petition" from us -- all our needs and concerns should be brought to Him in prayer because He loves and cares for us. However, God want us to, also, focus on others and their needs (intercession) -- physical and spiritual. "Intercessory prayer” is fundamental to deepening our prayer life and our personal relationship with God. SUNDAY MESSAGE -- This Sermon is Q and A session on prayer with Archbishop Beach and Rev. Matt Jordan. Jan Karen, author of the Mitford Series, says that "In the big issues of life as well as the small, God wants to hear from His children . . . the most important thing we get from prayer is the relationship that we enter into with God.". As Jesus tells us in Luke 11:9-10 that, as His followers we are both expected to pray and to ask as a fundamental part of our lives in Him: “And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.". Additionally, Luke tells us, in Luke 18:1, that we should continue to pray: “And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart." How do you know that God has answered your prayer? What does it mean when God has not answered your prayer? Why, if God answers our prayers, should we ask for others to pray for us? How do we know if we are praying in the Holy Spirit? Why does my mind start wandering when I start praying? How good is it to have a prayer journal? Why, sometimes, are we tempted to sin when we pray? How important is fasting? Do we stop in our prayers enough to give thanks to the Lord? The common position, derivative of all these questions is expressed to us in Ephesians 3:21b-24 that prayer is life changing and fundamental to a life in Jesus: “the truth is in Jesus, to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.". Pray specific prayers, in the Holy Spirit and in Scripture, for ourselves and for others -- be persistent. TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 129). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM A FORGIVEN. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9).

Beginnings In Prayer - Part 4: Listening to God Because He Desires to Speak to Us MESSAGE SUMMARY: Prayer is: 1) spending time with God – acknowledging God's presence in all our lives' activities; and 2) conversation with God – listening to and talking with God. Prayer reflects on our relationship with God. Why don't we pray. The Apostle James, in James 4:2-3, provides a perspective regarding Prayer Life: “You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions." In praying, we should know the difference between prayers of "petition" (praying for one's own needs) and prayers of "intercession" (praying for the needs of others). God wants prayers of "petition" from us -- all our needs and concerns should be brought to Him in prayer because He loves and cares for us. However, God want us to, also, focus on others and their needs (intercession) -- physical and spiritual. "Intercessory prayer” is fundamental to deepening our prayer life and our personal relationship with God. We need to consider "how we listen" to and for God. Usually, God speaks through the Holy Spirit like He spoke to Mary. Jesus tells us about the Holy Spirit and “listening” through the Apostle John in John 16:13-15: “When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.". God, mostly but not always, uses that "still small voice" in our minds. We need to seek out places and times so that we can listen for and to God. Listening validates relationships in our secular lives -- why would it be different in our relationship with God? God wants to speak to us because we have a relationship with Him -- He loves us and wants to be with us. God's "Counselor", the Holy Spirit, is His primary communication bridge to us. God speaks to us, through the Holy Spirit, as He promised. God guides us to all truth -- to His direction for our lives. When God speaks to you, write it down, as God tells us through the prophet Habakkuk in Habakkuk 2:2-3: “And the LORD answered me: ‘Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end — it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.'". God, often, speaks to us through the Bible, through other people, and through our circumstances. As we listen for God, we need to respond to God as Samuel did in Samuel 3:10b: "Speak Lord, for your servant is listening.". Pray specific prayers, in the Holy Spirit and in Scripture, for ourselves and for others -- be persistent. TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 129). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM A CHILD OF GOD. Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His Name, He gave the right to become children of God-- children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. (John 1:12f). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Jeremiah 33:3; John 16:7-14; John 10:1-25; Habakkuk 2:1-3; 1 Samuel 3:1-18.

Intercessory prayer explanation with Bro. Darrien Sparks - Monday Night - 01.20.2025
2 Thessalonians 1:11-12Intercessory prayer is not necessarily praying for relief for those who are suffering. It's praying with purpose in light of a kingdom perspective.
Man is so tempted to put faith in his own abilities that prayer has often come as an afterthought. Learn about the concept of "prayer-backing" and the perversion of merely thinking man needs God's support. Listen as Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones addresses this serious departure from what Scripture conveys as prayer. Look at the examples of Abraham, Isaiah, and Moses – all men of action, but moreso all men of great intercession. What is the greatest thing man can do at a time like this in history? Intercede before the throne of God! Are we to have greater zeal for denouncing sin or exalting the glory of God? Consider the example of Christ when He saw the state of the people – He was burdened for them. How ought we pray? Intercessory prayer is not mechanical, nor is it simple. Praying must always start with worshipping God, not presenting one's problem. Hear about Jeremiah's prayer as he reasoned and pleaded with God – even if those he was praying for were against him. Begin to see God's larger plan of salvation. Pray and not faint; God is your only source of strength. Fall before Him and leave your petition at His throne.

(James 5:16) Intercessory prayer is one of the church's lost ministries. When Christians pray for one another, they join Christ in His current work. Are you praying for other Christians, and have you asked others to pray for you? (08279241120)
F.A.M.I.L.Y. is a helpful acrostic to remember the four divine institutions God ordained to preserve us and our nation. The “I” represents intercession and inspiration. Intercessory prayer is when you pray for others, like for your family members, those who aren't saved, or for our nation's leaders. It also represents when the Holy Spirit intercedes on your behalf. You inspire those around you when they see your personal growth in the Lord Jesus Christ. They will see how you handle every situation and circumstance with a relaxed mental attitude by applying the Word of God in your soul and demonstrating faith in Him.
