Perseverance in PRAYER!
The WORD becoming who we are!
DISCIPLINE to put God first!
Jesus well equipped us to be victorious and overcome! But like the disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane with Jesus, our spirit is willing, but our flesh is weak. They could not pray even one hour, but instead fell asleep. We can be on our devices or watch a ball game for hours, but it’s uncomfortable to pray for an hour. Our discipline to build up our spirit to be strong is in PRAYER & the WORD.
The Lord wants to prepare us for what is coming, so we are ready for it, and not just reacting to it when it comes that we would be victorious, and a refuge of people that holds the TRUTH. Are you willing to makes prayer & intercession and the will of God number 1 in your life?

God wants to purify our mouths – what we say, how we say it, in our relationships, in our workplaces, in our homes. What comes out of our mouth should bring edification.
We live in the most critical culture and time – today. The devil is the accuser, and being critical and accusatory is operating in darkness. The enemy will use accusation to tear up the Church. Judgement will come to the Church first. Search our hearts Lord for any place that we operate in criticism and accusation that needs to be purified, so that what comes out of my mouth would bring edification.
Malachi 3:2, John 8:6-11, Proverbs 4:23, Luke 6:45, Psalm 139:23-24
Paul wrote to the church at Corinth for the purpose of speaking about the expectation of being in harmonious relationships and unity in the house of God, and then instructed them with how that is accomplished in light of using the gifts to bring Edification, Unity & Peace.
The Church should be:
Speaking in tongues ✓
Interpreting in certain situations ✓
Prophesying ✓
Desiring spiritual gifts ✓
Not forbidding speaking in tongues ✓
All things done decently and in order ✓
We must trust God to let Him say what is “decent” and “in order” and not our tradition.
If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord.But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.Therefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues. Let all things be done decently and in order. I Corinthians 14:37-40 NKJV
Hebrews 10:25, Mark 7:3, Galatians 3:27-29, 1 Corinthians 11:5, 1 Corinthians 14
Holy Spirit is IN YOU for NEW LIFE, and He comes UPON YOU for POWER & GIFTS for ministering to people. Tongues is a gift we receive when we are baptized in Holy Spirit, allowing us the ability to speak to God, and in the spirit speak mysteries. The Church must not forbid it.
It’s going to be essential for all believers, the Church, to operate in the Power of Holy Spirit in the days to come. The wisdom needed in the end days comes from the Bible, and it’s available. We must be on the cutting edge of prophecy. What is God saying in this hour?
1 Corinthians 14, Jude 20, Ephesians 6:18, Isaiah 28:11–12
Charla Lewis – The Roads Kidz Pastor – shares a dream she had with an interpretation and unpacks the deceit that the enemy uses against us to create a hold and imprisonment of our minds that is stealing our time, relationships and our continual development in our relationship with God.
Entertainment and all its devices have been a deceitful cover up, a smoke and mirrors that we partner with to keep us from realizing the unseen and heavenly realm and partnering our faith with what God is doing. The “American Dream” has become the “American nightmare.”
Galatians 5 : 13 Beloved ones, God has called us to live a life of freedom. But don’t view this wonderful freedom as an excuse to set up a base of operations in the natural realm. Constantly love each other and be committed to serve one another.
