Prayers for Our City: December 17, 2018 – 7 Mountain Prayer
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: And his name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 KJV
Offering you a word of encouragement which seems appropriate for this advent season and the times we are in as a city/state/nation. You women will especially appreciate the analogy that our brother uses! Let our prayers before the Father this week be filled with adoration and anticipation.
Christmas Blessings and love,
Connie Oakley and Huntsville/Madison County 7 Mountain Prayer Initiative
The Birthing is Coming–Get Ready!
A Word by Derrick Gates
Many have felt that they have been caught in the middle of a spiritual war vortex. This war has been marked with depression, anxiety, fear, financial struggles and many other things, but with every inch of victory, you are creeping closer and closer to the biggest breakthrough of your entire life. This birthing of destiny will set a new standard of blessing and open heavens over you, your family, and your ministries. In the birthing process, you first have to go through the process to prepare you for your position.
Conception happens when God breathes your vision, purpose and destiny into you. If you lack vision you must get in position to receive. You must posture yourself to become intimate with God so He can breathe the breath of purpose into your life.
Many have received this blueprint from Heaven and moved on to the 1st trimester. This is an important stage because you must fight for the belief in your destiny. It’s easy to believe the enemies lies that lead to the self-doubt in yourself and your ability. The enemy will try to convince you to abort your destiny and dreams. As you fight through the lies your life begins to change physically, emotionally and spiritually as He takes you deeper into the chambers of His heart and you shed the qualities of the world and dive deeper into His love. Faith can move those mountains, but doubt can build them right back. Simply believe and move forward no matter what the natural looks like.
The second trimester will encourage you to change your routine, craving more time with God, more spiritual things, and less of the world. This stage of the process is reforming your identity into what He meant for your life. Shedding your idea of what a Christian looks like and molding you into His purpose for your life. This will challenge your foundational beliefs and back you into corners forcing you to slay tradition and religious spirits alike.
The third trimester is where many of you are right now. You feel the pressure of the enemy on you, he is trying to get you to give up and give your destiny away for adoption. The warfare seems too much and you feel like your being crushed. Keep pressing in because the crushing is where you get the kingly oil, the pressing is where you get the new wine.
Now the birthing is coming, get ready, get ready, get ready for your massive breakthrough from God. God is rejoicing with you like on the day of your birth. Begin to use the weapons of your warfare. Worship like you never have, declare and decree to the things you have been waiting for, sow like your pockets are overflowing, and watch this destiny come forth with a mighty, triumphant shout from Heaven. 1. Receive your vision. 2. Believe what God has spoken. 3. Declare and decree to everything that moves. 4. Watch your destiny manifest in your life.
