This month a prophet that I follow said that the word for the month was demonstration. That God would demonstrate this month!!! I received that word! And when I tell you that God is doing some mighty demonstrations THIS MONTH and it’s just the 11th day, but what am I saying? God created the heavens and the earth, and us all in 6 days, but it’s amazing to see the hand of God moving in your life and in the life of others!
You can either watch the world news or watch the hand of God move!!! That’s a word right there! Because really, if you want me to be real with you, watching the world news is like watching the enemy’s agenda. It seeks to incite fear and panic. It spreads bad news and makes people lose hope and faith. But if you tune into the frequency and the channel where God is STILL performing miracles, signs, and wonders, your faith will continue to rise!!
The prayer closet this morning is full of snot and tears. I am just keeping it all the way real. And if you think that’s gross, you must not have real cries. Real cries are where you just let loose and don’t care who see you or what mucus is doing. You are just releasing what’s on the inside of you. This morning, I was releasing because I have been seeing God DEMONSTRATE this month! I have seen prayers that I have prayed, people who I have prayed for change right before my very eyes. I have seen Kingdom books published. I have seen Kingdom businesses birth. I have even seen people grow spiritually!! The Holy Spirit said to me: “Have you checked? “ I said, checked what Lord? He said, “Have you checked what I have ALREADY DONE?” The Lord is saying…check my record!! What I promised, I AM PERFORMING! What I promised, I AM DEMONSTRATING!
And that’s where the snot entered the scene. That’s where the screams entered the room! That’s where the tears soaked up the floor. And it didn’t take long. I started with the most recent things that happened and it just went from there! The Lord said: whatever you ask me for that’s in alignment, I will answer it! And I need you to record it down so that when you don’t think I am moving, you can go back and look at how I moved before!
WOOOOO WEEEEEE!!! The Lord said, have you checked? I challenge each one of you to check your prayer request and SEE what God has ALREADY DONE!!
In the Scriptural Surprise, I turned to James 5. Now this is a scripture that I meditated on for a week in my 1 Hour Prayer Challenge group. And here I was at it again. I knew the Lord has something new for me to get. The verse that stood out was James 5:17-18! I am about to shout now! I am trying to contain myself, but when I read it…Y’all!
Elijah was a human being as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the land. Then he prayed again, and the sky gave rain and the land produced its fruit. James 5:17-18 CSB
Now what does it mean when it says he prayed earnestly. Don’t worry about looking it up. I did it for you:
Earnest means fervent, intent, purposeful, determined, industrious, ambitious. Earnest means resolute, serious, sincere imply having qualities of depth and firmness. Earnest implies having a purpose and being steadily and soberly eager in pursuing it. Google
It also means diligent, which means persistent. Now when I looked up diligent, I saw the opposite meaning of it was lazy. See we can’t be lazy. We have to wake up and pray. To pray is to invite the involvement of eternity into time. I got that from the Q&A section of my Tony Evans Study Bible (you already know I highly recommend you get one). It says make your prayer request specific, but then submit to the will of God because God’s will is always better than your request.
I can’t stress enough how important it is to have a prayer life. People have started calling me a prayer warrior now and of course I didn’t tell them to do that. But I realized that they can SEE the effects that prayer has had on my life and on theirs! God has used me to demonstrate His power and His glory to others! And to that I say…Thank you Lord! And Amen!
