Do Not Remember The Former Things

Isaiah 43: 18-19 – “Do not remember the former things or consider the things of old.  I am about to do a new thing.  Now it springs forth.  Do you not perceive it?”

You are putting walls up.  Stop listening to the liar.

I want to be your friend that says I accept you just the way you are.
I know you messed up, I know you continue to hurt, and I know
God takes what has died and speaks life to the dry bones.

I speak life to you.  Forgiveness.  It is finished.  You are before the Judge
and he declares life.  He gives freedom to the captive.  Hope to the hopeless.

He says to the one who’s stealing life from you, “Steal no longer.”

I speak Courage to you to face your life.  Step through the wall, the wall is not real,
it’s an illusion, a lie to sap your strength.  I declare strength, courage, truth
to face God and receive His love for you.  He’s handing it to you.  Let Him love you!
He knows you don’t deserve it, stop taking that path to God.  Release it all, all the
condemnation, all the ugly sins, all the holes sin leaves.  Wholeness is what God gives.

You have wisdom that’s cost you a great price and a destiny that will amaze you.

All you’ve gone through prepared you to be healing hands to many hurting people.

A Prayer for Financial Breakthrough

Lord Jesus you have all provision.  You are my source.  Let this be realized in my life this day.  I don’t know why everything dries up.  All the work, all the bank accounts and external security are gone.  I have a few pennies on my dresser and some rice.  You know these things.  Let me be strong in your Word and in your supernatural provision.  Thank you for this opportunity to have nothing else to rely upon except your still presence.

Break these mountains and blockages by your power.  Debt, silence, job loss and personal economic collapse.  I speak breakthrough in faith right now.  Favor, unexpected opportunities and economic restoration.

Heavenly Father, in Jesus Christ Holy Name, I pray Your Word over my finances and I thank You for manifesting Your Word in my life according to:

Luke 6:38 – “As I give, it is given to me, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over.”

2 Corinthians 9:8 – “My God makes all grace abound toward me in every favor and earthly blessing, so that I have all sufficiency for all things and I abound to every good work.”

Deuteronomy 28: 1-14 – “I am blessed in the city, blessed in the field, blessed coming in, and blessed going out, my laying down, my rising up.  I am blessed in the basket and blessed in my bank accounts, investments, health, and relationships; they flourish.  The blessings of the Lord overtake me in all areas of my life and I receive them.”

Psalm 1:3 – “I am like a tree planted by rivers of water.  I bring forth fruit in my season, my leaf shall not wither, and whatever I do shall prosper.”

Proverbs 10:22 - “The blessings of the Lord makes truly rich, and He adds no sorrow with it.”

Deuteronomy 28: 8 and 12 – “The Lord has opened to me His good treasure and blessed the work of my hands.  He has commanded the blessing upon me in my storehouse and all that I undertake.”

Deuteronomy 8:18,11:12 – “God delights in my prosperity.  He gives me power to get wealth that He may establish His covenant upon the earth.”

Numbers 13:30, 2 Peter 1:3-4 – “God has given me all things that pertain to life and godliness, and I am well able to possess all that God has provided for me.”

Psalms 37:4 - “I delight myself in the Lord, and He gives me the desires of my heart.”

Malachi 3:10-11 “The Lord rebukes the devourer for my sake, and no weapon that is formed against me will prosper.  All obstacles and hindrances to my prosperity are no dissolved.”

Psalms 23:1, John 10:10 - “The Lord is my shepherd, and I do not want.  Jesus came that I might have life and have it more abundantly.”

Amen.  In Jesus Name.  There is breakthrough.  There is hope.  There is more coming and help is on the way.

What is Prophetic Recovery?

“..we were so utterly, unbearably crushed that we despaired of life itself.  We felt that we had received the sentence of death so that we should rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead.” – 2 Corinthians 1: 8-9

The purpose of this blog is to glorify Jesus and provide  healing writings for those who are at the complete end of the line.  We are not talking about having a bad day.  We are targeting the crisis point, the END; you are absolutely alone and adrift in a vast swirling ocean of darkness and chaos.

You go through life and experience catastrophic loss – death, divorce, sickness, isolation, personal economic collapse, extreme trauma and enter into the dark night of the soul.  When all is lost what we are looking for is a supernatural point of contact with the only thing left.  The little fire of hope inside the soul that is the Spirit of God carrying you through the dark pipeline of the process of grief.

Prophetic Recovery is more than recovery.  At the total zero point of human life it is thriving in what Jesus has already said about who you are.  It is recovery-plus.  You get back more than you had before because the last vestiges of self are obliterated.  All hope.  Every spiritual blessing and provision in Heaven is already in you.  We are speaking out the absolute promises of God, the future-now, while we are in the pit of absolute despair.

How To Deal With Grief

“Indeed you note trouble and grief, that you may take it into your hands; the helpless commit themselves to you.” - Psalm 10:14

“…He withdrew in a boat to a deserted place by himself.” – Matthew 14

If you are reading this you are here for a reason.  We won’t waste time with pontificating about life stories.  Here is the point.

It’s really bad.  We know.

You lay in bed crying, curled up in a ball, staring at the wall and you are saying to yourself, “Oh my God what am I going to do now?”

Mere words aren’t going to help at this point.  All we can do is simply say this:

We have been there.  The only thing that helped us in the early stages was this.  Jesus and John the Baptist were friends.  Herod chopped off John the Baptist’s head.  When Jesus heard the news he went away to the wilderness.  And when he came back…“When he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them and cured their sick…They need not go away; you give them something to eat.”

It is almost like you can imagine this intense gut wrenching grief of crying out in isolation to God.  The waves of pain.  Taking it to the point of isolation with the Father. Which is the only place you can take it.  Then, the aftermath of grief, grief-in-action, is compassion with a vengeance.  It is  vengeance because he came back to town and healed everybody.  All of them.  The hurting people.  He came back from the wilderness with compassion, healing and the multiplication of bread and fish.

You can imagine it not being like regular plain old healing but angry healing.  Supernatural angry vengeance on the darkness in the world.  Healing like a weapon.

That is what grief does.  You cannot be the same anymore when He get’s through with you. The way to deal with grief is to give – out of your pain and your loss.  That is the only way.  The loners, the isolated and hurting are everwhere.  They have always been near and now you are one.
