Question

"Who is familiar enough with his own heart to furnish it with knowledge?"

Study: Jeremiah 17:10 & Mark 7:20-23

Being an Intercessor

When you become an intercessor you are spiritually responsible for everyone you know.

When you pray you are suppose to speak the truth not the problem. We should pray the answer.

As an intercessor you don't operate according to your feelings. You operate in the realm of the spirit according to God's truth.

As an intercessor you must take on other people's situations or circumstances & become a servant to them in prayer.

Can you carry a name to the point of victory?
Ephesians 4:1-3
Ephesians 3:20

You need to submit yourself daily to being a living tabernacle of the Holy Spirit.
Hebrews 12:1

We need to be purified for service to God.
The Lord is saying to believers, " You are seeking after beauty, but I am seeking your purification. I can't heal you & prepare you to to serve rightly until the foreign thing comes out."

As an intercessory priest you must learn how to wrestle with the spirit of a lie, not the person who lies.
Psalm 1:1-3

If we want to be effective in intercession we cannot have a critical spirit.
1 Peter 2:9

As an intercessor you must have an unlimited resource of the Bread of Life from heaven present within you as you perform the service of the Lord at the table of shewbread.
matthew 26:26-28
John 6:53-57

As an intercessor, you must eat of Christ to become like Him & be prepared to battle in the heavenly realm. You have to digest the Word regularly to maintain a transformed lifestyle.
Psalm 34;8-10
John 15:6-7

As an intercessor you need the oil of the Holy Spirit on a daily basis.

When you become an intercessor, you stand between & among, you intermarry, you interweave on behalf of another person.

When you become a intercessor, you stand in the gap for someone else, & you don't come out of that place until the enemy has fully surrendered that ground & given up that territory to you.
Isaiah 45:11
Hebrews 7:25

When you are a true intercessor - a believer who prays, intercedes, & worships at home, or whever you may be- anyone who comes into your presence should be able to feel the presence of God upon you. The essence of prayer, intercession, & worship should permeate the atmosphere around you.
Matthew 25:21
James 5:6

When your intercession is empowered & directed from His divine presence, it will shatter the gates of hell.

The more you come to God with a pure heart, the more He will take you to new levels & fresh, exciting experiences through your walk of prayer.

This information came from the book: "The Threshing Floor." By Juanita Bynum

Lifestyle Change

Your life will be measured, not by the amount of money or power or fame you gain, but by the way you allow God to touch others through you.

Six Kinds of Prayer

1 Intercession: Is standing in the the gap.
Isaiah 59:16
Hebrews 7:25
Eze 22:30
Romans 8:26-27
Ephesians 6:18


2 Faith: Asking God to intervene in a situation.
James 5:15
Matthew 21:21-22
Mark 11:22-24

3 Consecration: When the believer needs to know or do the will of God.
Matthew 26:39
Hebrews 5:7
Hebrews 10:5-9
Luke 22: 42

4 Petition (Supplication): It gives the believer the opportunity to petition God before until the answer comes.
1 Timothy 2:1-4

5 Praise: It is praising the supplier without focusing on the need.
Jeremiah 32:17
Acts 13:1-4

6 Agreement: When at least two or three people band together in the name of the Jesus to request a thing from God.
Matthew 18:19-20

Summer is but a memory

I got up this morning to take the dogs for their walk and we walked into snow. It is chilly. It has been snowing all morning.

Current weather is: 32 degrees high of 40 low of 25 with 88% humidity. With periods of snow mixing with rain.

So I am a little sad. Summer is gone.
In winter we do not get much sun.

Names

The longest name in the Bible is a man's name Isaiah's son to be exact:
"Mahershalalhashbaz."
This means hasten the spoil, rush on the prey.

A thought to ponder

God is already present in the hidden depths of the present moment.

If joy were a smile... then delight would be a laugh.

Fall Activites

Saturday: I went to the first MOPS meeting of the year.
Sunday: Church
Tuesday: starts a biblestudy

New beginnings

We are starting a new school year. My husband has gone back to college as a full-time student. The schools are full of sickness. Both my husband and one of our sons are sick.

I am working on my second book.

Here in Alaska we are having a beautiful fall. The tempertures are comfortable 60-70.

Thought of the day

Without God, our week would be:
Sinday,
Mournday,
Tearsday,
Wasteday,
Thirstday,
Fightday &
Shatterday.
Remember seven days without God makes one weak!

Salvation

"I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my payer. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength., which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appionted him to be head over everything for the church., which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way."
Ephesians 1::16-23

A Question to Ponder

What is not getting done in God's kingdom because you won't intercess?

One person has the ablilty to make a profound difference! So what will you give your life to?

What if it is at the heart of our deepest fears & most obsessive anxieties that God most wants to meet us?

Courtship

Genesis 2:22-25 records the first union of a man & woman in a marriage ceremony performed by God. Suppose it could be said of every marriage, "the Lord God... made ... a woman & brought her to the man !" Suppose the preequisite to marriage were a woman made whole & beautiful by her encounter with the living God, led by Him to a man "under orders" & equipped for life because of his communion with his Creator! It would have a profound effect upon the joy & spiritual quality of that union. And I daresay it would change considerably the comon mode of courtship which we as a society have taught our young. Well might such a man response to to such a woman with the words of Adam:"This at last is bone of my bone & flesh of my flesh". The quality of such a God- ordained union would form the prospectus for a three - dimensional unity which would glorify the God who united them.
From the book:"A Woman's Worth"
By Elaine Stedman

Peace, freedom, wisdom, beauty, fidelity, love

May it be that the godly woman, whose gentle, quiet, spirit is her love- response to God's loving authority, in a unique way releases others to understand & experience these qualities of life. Is it not possible that the woman who responds with wise & loving submission to the authority of her husband might set him free to headship in the home? And this headship would, if universally practiced, set in motion a cycle of redemptive social responses which would restore order & love to humanity.
From the book "A Woman's Worth"
By Elaine Stedman

Spiritual Mothering

We should not live double lives. Showing one side of ourselves at home and another in public. Spiritual mothering is is the nurturing of Christ's life in ourselves & others, it is a total lifestyle. It is the outward function of our identity, the evidence that we are God's woman.
From the book:" A Woman's Worth "
By Elaine Stedman

Strengths & Weaknesses

Find out what God made you to do well & do more of it.
Do not concern yourself so much with what you cannot do well.
Concern yourself with what you can do & and do it with all your heart.

Relationships

When you balance praise with criticism, you're not balance at all. One critical remark weights ten times as much as one compliment.

Fires in Alaska

Currently we are dealing with a new fire. It is at Murphy Dome. Which is about five miles from Fairbanks. The smoke is so thick at UAF that they can't see the trees. I keep looking out my livingroom window and the smoke is just getting thicker.

My son Alex is working for forestry this summer. He said if the fire gets much closer to Fairbanks they will drop everything and go to work on this fire until it is out.

We have about 200 million acres on fire right now.

So it is difficult to breathe. So people are starting to wear mask.

I am asking everyone to pray for our area please.
