❤️ Who wants to do this together? Pastor was teaching on building up our faith and asking Our Father for what we want...And make it bigger than what we think. Check out my notes and let me know if I missed anything so I can update the steps. And then... please put in the comments if you're going to join in on this exercise, too. Let’s Build Up Our Faith to the Next Level- 1. Define what you’re believing God for. Be specific. Put a timeline on it. 2. Before sleeping and upon waking: Pray in tongues and imagine with high emotion what you’re asking Him for.  3. Declare and Thank God for it beforehand. 4. Then, do the thing. Take action with the next steps ahead of you. 5. Bonus: pray, fast, plant a seed. This is my start on this journey... Last night, to close out our nightly bible study with the family [husband (Nick), Ari (14) & Gigi (11)], I explained what we were doing and why. Then, we each prayed in the goal: To have Nick home working our business together full time. We left out details about "how" on purpose. Tonight, I'll add in a timeline of "by when". We didn't do it perfectly, but we started. Today, I'm fasting solo. And now, I'll go plant a seed with joy. Maybe we can share our journey in the thread to keep each other encouraged. Who's in? ❤️

You Should Pray this Prayer Often, so save it for later. "Heavenly Father, I repent of any sins in my life and my ancestors' lives that have resulted in a curse. I repent of all disobedience, rebellion, witchcraft, idolatry, lust, perversion, adultery, fornication, mistreatment of others, murder, cheating, lying, sorcery, divination, and occult involvement, and I ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing through the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. I take authority over and break any and every curse upon my life in the name of Jesus. I break all curses of poverty, lack, debt, destruction, sickness, death, and vagabondism. I break all curses on my marriage, my family, my children, my home, and my relationships. I break curses of rejection, pride, rebellion, lust, hurt, incest, Ahab, Jezebel, fear, insanity, madness, and confusion. I break all curses affecting my finances, my mind, my sexual character, my emotions, my will, and my relationships. I break every hex, jinx, spell, and spoken curse over my life. I break every fetter, shackle, chain, cord, habit, and cycle that is a result of a curse. According to Galatians three thirteen, I have been redeemed from the curse of the law by the sacrifice of Jesus. I exercise my faith in the blood of Jesus, and I loose myself and my descendants from any and every curse. I claim forgiveness through the blood of Jesus for the sins of the Fathers. All of my sins have been admitted, and I loose myself from the curse that came as a result of all disobedience and rebellion to the Word of God. I exercise my faith, and I know that confession is made unto salvation according to Romans ten. Therefore, I confess that Abraham's blessings are mine. I am not cursed, but I am blessed. I am the head, not the tail. I am above and not beneath. I am the lender and not the borrower. I am blessed coming in and blessed going out. I am blessed, and what God has blessed cannot be cursed. I command spirits of rejection, hurt, bitterness, unforgiveness, bondage, torment, death, destruction, fear, lust, perversion, mind control, witchcraft, poverty, lack, debt, destruction, double-mindedness, sickness, confusion, infirmity, pain, divorce, separation, strife, contention, depression, sadness, loneliness, self-pity, self-rejection, anger, rage, wrath, anguish, vagabondism, insecurity, inferiority, abuse, and addiction to COME OUT in the name of Jesus.

So i was praying in tongues last night and today and I started feeling this real powerful fire rising up from within me as I kept praying. And soon I started even like seeing my flesh falling off of me in the spirit. It was powerful. But I started thinking that in the midst of that I had to remind myself that the fire I was feeling (Holy Spirit) was a person with feelings. And as I looked deeper, I realized I wasnt feeling love in the midst of that. And the Lord reminded me of 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 and it broke my heart cause I realized that I was only seeking his blessings and was seeking him. So I started praying for Him to help me in this area and I kept praying in tongues as im driving for work. Then I see on Spotify Shay sent me a link to a song. And the lyrics to the song is saying that the Lord is always on our side and will never disappoint us and just how much He means to us. Then I just keep listening to the next few songs and over and over the Lord is reminding me through these songs how much He loves me to the point where I started crying like a baby and I missed a turn for the delivery I was doing 😂 then I was talking to the worker that was unloading the truck im driving and told him that Jesus loves him (in Spanish cause he doesnt speak english) and handed him a gospel tract card. And i used to feel a little anxiety and fear when doing that and this time I didnt feel that at all. His love is everything and is the answer to everything! 😭❤️🔥🙌 I pray that you all get that same hug He just gave me today in Jesus name ❤️

The First & Second Joshua (Yeshua) What’s the Most Common mistake Most Christians are making in their walk The Authority of the Believer Spiritual Warfare And More There are very common cycles that most people are currently walking in and it’s so unfortunate but also so possible to see true freedom. Let’s talk tonight and if God has put a specific topic on your heart, put it in the comments and let’s see if we can cover that as well.

I'm learning as a New Pastor how to Shepherd. There are three main roles of a natural shepherd: Leading Feeding and Protecting The leading, i'm learning, is just following well. If i'm following Jesus correctly, the sheep will move in the right direction. I don't need to be overbearing or constantly correcting and redirecting... it's actually the Holy Spirit who does those tasks. For a shepherd he uses a tool called a shepherd's crook to lead and redirect but Psalms 23 says The Lord is our Shepherd and his rod and staff comfort us... but rods are used for war and staffs are used to redirect... God can even make correction comforting. Feeding is again the work of the Holy Spirit... I've had the experience of preparing a sermon and I thought it would be an encouraging message, yet the congregation says they were convicted or felt beat up by the word...but if you have a problem child and you preach on their known issue.... it's like their the only one who didn't answer the alter call, didn't respond to the message and actually preferred your previous message. Lol The Holy Spirit is the one feeding... as im seeing... Being a Shepherd is more like being the best lamb... the lamb closest to God. Protecting works like this. If i'm safe... the sheep are safe as long as they stay close and follow instructions, but the Bible says, "Strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter." If im wounded or overwhelmed then the sheep are in danger. This is showing the importance of my dependency on Christ and not pointing to any authority or skill that I have to lead, guide, protect or feed. The paradox is im learning... to be a good shepherd... I don't need to do more, I actually need to do less. I need to trust that God is working and give him room, making sure not to interfere. No matter who you are reading this... if you have any natural or spiritual authority over another... then these points are true for you. Are you a Father, Mother, Employer or Minister? Then you have a role to play in being a sheep closest to our Shepherd, because this is the beginning of leading... learning how to follow well.
