Our Father's Heart In You

Jesus' Father is Our Father

A WORD FOR DAUGHTERS OF OUR FATHER

 

The Father favors you.

The Father’s Heart is yours.

 

Letters of the alphabet that are in Father are also in daughter.

Those same letters spell heart.

 

H-E-A-R-T in Father and H-E-A-R-T in daughter.

 

Your new heart is birthed from the Father’s Heart.

 

The Father’s Heart in you has equipped you as a carrier of the greatest commandments.

 

The Father made you to be one who loves the Lord your God with all your heart,

One who loves yourself as God loves you, and

One who loves your neighbor in obedience to God.

 

The greatest of all the virtues is love. Love also is the greatest power.

 

You can shift the atmosphere wherever you go by releasing the love that is within you.

 

Let the river flow!

Everyday Thanksgiving

EVERYDAY THANKSGIVING 2022

Wherever You Are

Prayer by Mary Barbour

 

GOD we are so thankful that you order our miles and steps to enter your outer court; that you have given to us an open door and seated us in this your global sanctuary; that you have filled this atmosphere with your glory and filled our hearts with praise and expectation while being together with you where we experience ever increasing joy.
 
Because of your great love for us our hearts are full and we have overflow for one another. Here we are with adoration, under the canopy of your covenant and covered by the blood of Jesus. Here we are with vibrations from heaven stirring up within us psalms, spiritual songs and utterances of praise. Here we are with ears to hear you speak to us, with eyes to see and thoughts of remembrance of all the blessings we have received and carry testimonies about. We are here because you have given to us contagious confidence in you to share with our brothers and sisters who are still coming through challenges and those who are fulfilling their destinies.
 
Lord, we take these precious moments to say, "Thank you".

• For all healings that are completed and those that are in progress, we thank you.
• For all restoring of souls from mourning and grieving, we thank you.
• For every child embraced in the loving care of parents, family, educators and community, we thank you.
• For provision of services needed and of sharing of expertise from members of AWF, we thank you.
• For called, appointed and anointed leaders, we thank you.
• For all who are following your plan for their lives and for those who will start today, we thank you.
• For your presence upon us, with us, in us, for us and through us, we thank you.
• For all good and kind things you inspired to do and for those received by each of us, we thank you.

Thank you for the privilege and honor to worship you in spirit and in truth.
Thank you for being the one in whom is our confidence, our trust and our lives.
Thank you for being God for all nations, all generations, and all creation.

Thank you for our personal salvations, our personal Pentecost experiences, our personal relationships with you, and thank you for receiving us into your family and placing us in community with these your people.
 
Individually we can say:

• Thank you, God, for giving me life.
• Thank you for saving me.
• Thank you for adopting me.
• Thank you for all provisions made for me.
• Thank you for the blood of Jesus covering me.
• Thank you for the Spirit of the Lord indwelling me.
• Thank you for including me in the covenant you made to yourself.

Most of all, thank you for your love and faithfulness and for all of our experiences of these sacred treasures.
 
By the authority you have given to us to speak in the Name of Jesus, this is our prayer.
AMEN!

Perfect Freedom

Greetings beloved,
I was reading & wanted to share from this encouraging devotional.  

I pray you hear HIS whisper to you always!

Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude.
Tell him every detail of your life, then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Jesus Christ.
[Philippians 4:6-7 TPT]  https://www.bible.com/bible/1849/PHP.4.TPT

I Hear His Whisper...

I Offer You Perfect Freedom.
 
To be truly free is to live in perfect unity with me and reliance upon me. It comes from a lifestyle of submission. This isn’t submission that stems from duty and obligation, but a true yielding of every aspect of your body, soul, and spirit, out of love. Love beckons you to lay everything at my feet. Every action, each thought, every desire is surrendered to me, the One who loves you perfectly.
 
When you live in submission to me, seeking my will and desiring to be fully surrendered, nothing can hijack your peace. This doesn’t mean you don’t experience trials, but it does mean trials no longer have a right to torment you. They don’t become bigger than the knowledge of my love and power. So be free in me. Let go of the pressure to make things happen on your own, and simply live in total trust. Freedom enables you to see clearly, because you act only on my instruction, joyously abandoned to my will. This is the freedom I’ve called you to. And it releases peace that surpasses all understanding.

Article extract: "Receiving from GOD"
 - When something unusual happens in our daily life, it is a time to tune in to your spiritual antennae. God is often at work. So, I prayed, “Lord, what are you saying through this?”
 - Remember -- GOD's nature is to do exceedingly beyond what we can think or imagine. Attach yourself to the vine to ensure success.
