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

Matthew 6:6 and 6:18 Shut the Door
When you go to the secret place shut the door. Father God dwells in the secret place. "your Father who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." Even if you do not feel His presence Father dwells in the secret place. Call on Him! Remember to SHUT THE DOOR!

Jesus Wept 2/19/13
We sing songs about taking the mask off and we sing "I surrender all" but the pain of letting go of all we hide behind is to painful. Spirit of the Lord sets all men and women free. To finally face the pain the church needs the Spirit of the Lord present. Holy Spirit presence is mandatory to experience the freedom of the Lord. We use the word transparency loosely in the church and the world but to have transparency we must have a death of the old and a rebirth of the new. We have this "living hope" and we know Father God is not going to leave us in this mess we are in. We will be a bride dressed in a spotless white gown.
What do we as individuals and as the corporate church need to do:
Pray and stand in the gap for one another
We are to be a midwife and quite giving an epidural to those seeking the churches help. The church must learn to sit in the mess with others and do as Jesus did, JESUS WEPT. Learn to listen, and weep with your hurting brother and sister in Christ and come along side with truth.
To be this midwife we must have the presence of Holy Spirit. We must become the house of prayer Jesus told us to be.
Jesus,
I know the world is looking for the Holy. Start with me Lord. Holy Spirit teach us to seek the fulfillment of God's word in the body of Christ.
Amen
Spiritual Makeunder 2/21/13
Makeover - is a term applied to changing one's appearance using various means; cosmetics, veneers, surgeries, etc.
Makeunder - is based on the opposite principle - removing artificial enhancements to a person's appearance to give a more "natural" look.
Spiritually we lose our inner soul beauty by religious cosmetics, etc. and often never show the world the real person.
A Christian is to be the revelation of God and His love to the world. As long as we wear our religious cosmetics and never show the world the "holy" we grieve the Father's heart.
I would pray for transparency in the church but before anyone can be truly transparent they must receive the revelation of Father God's love for them and truly and deeply fall in love with God. The first commandment to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength must become real in us Christians. Then and only then can we be the Bride, love sick lovers of Jesus.
My prayer today is we stop being ashamed of being called Christian and seek the true meaning of Christian. Father we are called to be Christ "ones" or Christ-women and Christ-men. In Song of Songs Jesus calls to us to place Him as a seal on our heart and a seal on our arm. This seal sets us apart and identifies us as daughters and sons of the Most High God. First Lord we need a supernatural revelation of this love that only comes from you, this love that is strong as death, a jealousy as cruel as the grave, a love whose flames are flames of fire. A love that many waters cannot quench, nor a flood can drown. A love a man could give all he had and it would be nothing compared to the value of this Heavenly pure holy love.
A people so loved will be lovers. As we walk out a life committed to the first commandment we will not think of wearing "religious cosmetics" we will be a "natural", "pure", "holy" people. The world will take notice!
Father you are a God of His word. Bless your chosen people with a Holy makeunder.
Amen

It is not done till God says it is done
During prayer at the beginning of our churches 21 day fast the Holy Spirit spoke every clearly:
"It is not DONE till GOD says it is DONE."
As we complete this 21 day of fasting and praying we as a body of believers must understand we may finish 21 days but it is not done till God says it is done. We are not to go back to what we were before the start of this cleansing. During this 21 days our body and spirit has been detoxed from all sin and those things which pollute. Our Pastor gave a warning in his message at the end of the Sacred Assembly in the form of "3" Directives from God.
1. Repent of sin immediately.
2. Return to your first love and burn with passion for God.
3. Wait upon God.
I have a picture of a beautiful bride standing at the edge of a magnificent canyon with her arms outstretched and ready to fly. Holy Spirit is saying to us right now do not take a step backwards but take that first step forward and believe His everlasting arms will be there for you. Baby eagles take a leap of faith and mama eagle is always there to catch them. His everlasting arms will always be there and it is time (a NOW time) to believe we will fly!
Father do not let us back up now. Do not let us prematurely stop fasting and praying. You have started something beyond us all. Give us the boldness and courage to stay connected to you in prayer and fasting. To listen and receive your instructions in our quiet times and in corporate prayer. You told us loud and clear "My house is a house of PRAYER". You instructed us that the Bride would fast and pray till her Bride Groom returns. Amen

Intercessors 1/21/13
"I'm starting a ball rolling and I am going to roll over what stood in your way in the last season. I'm starting a ball rolling and I am going to make a way and pave a way for you to come on through. Move quickly behind Me, for things are now rollng from Heaven. For you rolled your cares upon Me and now the ball is rolling on your behalf and becoming a way opener for you."
A prophetic word from Chuck Pierce 1/19/13
1/20/13
Huckabee called for all churches to repent before God for the sins of our nation when we came together on Sunday. Many churches have called all people to a sacred assembly (Joel 1 and 2).
During the opening service for LCB's sacred assembly Holy Spirit showed me the word Heaven and the word Spirit of Man. The words were slowly coming together. As they came into alignment the words meshed together and became ONE. Holy Spirit said Heaven and the Spirit of Man is coming into agreement as man prays and humbles himself before God. We will see Heaven and Spirit come together as ONE. The future depends on this. Church must be ONE to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. I am the vine you are the branches. Abide in Me! Thy Kingdom come Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
Father God,
Take all that hinders us from be coming one with you in spirit. Bring our minds, body, and spirit under your authority. Bring us to that place of beautiful intimacy like we have never experienced before. Make our hearts burn with desire for you Lord Jesus. Consume us. Amen
