The Holy Spirit's first agenda is to establish the first commandment in first place in the church. Jesus referred to Deuteronomy 6:5 and then defined loving God as the first commandment. Matthew 22: 37-38 "Jesus said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment."
God is love - wholehearted love. The very being of God is wholehearted love. Wholehearted love is first in God's personality and it is first in the relationships of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Father wants us to respond in wholehearted love because it is who He is and who He created us to be. We were created in His image for wholehearted love. It is the core reality of our relationship with God and the essence of salvation.
John 15:9
"As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in my love."
The body of Christ has set the great commandment aside. My prayer today is the flame of the love Father, Son, and Holy Spirit has for one another and for us to burn within all believers hearts. To full fill the second commandment to love others as ourselves the first great commandment must be in place in the hearts of the Bride.
Amen

Intentional 3/6/13
During devotional time and prayer time I read Genesis 3:15. Father God said there would be "enmity" between the serpent and the woman. I pondered this word so looked it up in Webster's Dictionary.
Enmity
Positive, active, and typically mutual hatred or ill will
So woman is to have a positive, active, hatred towards the serpent. Our intention should be to in a positive, active way show our hatred for the serpent.
Who is the serpent?
We all know it is a symbol of the enemy of our soul the devil.
Who is the woman?
All those created by God to be female.
Female?
The female carries the seed (egg) of life.
I believe the female reproduction system is a physical symbol of what we women do in the spiritual. We birth the will of God on earth. We carry the spiritual seed of life. Mary the mother of Jesus birthed life, truth, and the only way to heaven.
OK maybe I am getting out there but the bottom line is the enemy of our soul hates us and wants all women dead spiritually. So he aborts us, sells us into sexual slavery, subjects us to the lust of men, binds us with depression, low self esteem, shame, guilt, rejection, fear, the list is so long.
This morning Holy Spirit gave me one word "intentional". He said be intentional in what Father God has instructed you to do or created you to be. Woman of Prayer we must be intentional in showing the enemy our hatred for him in prayer. In prayer we are like a womb. We nourish, protect, and birth the will of God.
Father God I pray all those you have created to be female arise, awaken to the calling to nourish, protect and birth the will of God on earth. Awaken us to the authority you have given us as daughters of the Most High God. Give visions of the power we have when we pick up the sword of your word and declare it to the Heavens and to the enemy. Let there be a spiritual awakening to our purpose and
position in this battle against the enemy of the Kingdom of God. Make us intentional like Esther. Esther was intentional in what she knew she had to do to save her people. Father we must be intentional in what you have called us to do. To birth you must be focused and intentional. I pray to the Lord of the harvest prepare your birthers. Strengthen them to birth in the spiritual your labors of the end time harvest. Give us wisdom and discernment to lead this end time army of labors like your Debra did in the old testament. Help us to line up beside your men of war and carry the burden in prayer as your men of war swing the mighty sword of your word. Help us to put on the armor daily even though it feels heavy at times. We need encouragement to push when it hurts and seems impossible to keep pushing. We are your women the picture of your beauty on earth. Thank you for your mercy and grace. Jesus you see no flaw in us. We desire to put you Jesus as a seal on our hearts and our arm. We long to embrace your firer love that can not be quenched by troubled waters. Amen
