Today is my BIRTHDAY and I am shouting hallelujah all over the place!! I have been up since around 2:50 a.m. giving the Lord all my morning! He can have this whole day, but I know He has so much in store for me and I am excited about it!!

As I prayed this morning, He said: A year of praise, progress, and Holy Ghost power!!! Y’all I got so excited, because initially I was thinking that from 2019-2020 it has been that, but I believe He was letting me know that this birthday year WILL BE a year of more praise, more progress, and more Holy Ghost power!!

As He and I talked very early on my birthday morning, and I prayed for you and many others, I said to Holy Spirit: Anything that WE have established without your permission, WE give you permission now to REestablish it your Way God! If you agree with that, say AMEN!!

So yall, I was praying and dancing in the prayer closet with FAITH SHOES on and everything! Yes I have some shoes that I know I will one day walk in. How do I know…FAITH! So I danced in them to BREAK them in!! Yeah, because the God of the breakthrough is going to BRING FORTH every thing that He has already told me is mine! Hallelujah!!!

Then I went into more prayer with thanksgiving. I was just flowing with the Holy Spirit and I heard Him say, I chose you. I created you. I picked you. I knew you!

There was scripture to that and I went looking for it. Let me tell you something…when I found it…I have been in full tears every since. My phone has been dinging with happy birthday messages and I have been sitting in the prayer closet crying. As I read each translation, more tears kept coming!

Y’all I barely got to the book of Nehemiah for the Scriptural Bible Study, but when I did, these words in verse 15 stood out: But I acted differently because I honored God!

And then Nehemiah’s prayer in verse 19 just wrapped a nice bow around my birthday morning prayer time with God:

Remember me with favor, My God, for all I have done for these people. Nehemiah 5:19

Today may not be your BORN day, but since it’s mine, do me a favor and reflect on your own birth as a gift for me (I mean yes I am taking other gifts today too.. LOL). But I want you to read Jeremiah 1:5 and just let it resonate with you. God knew you BEOFRE HE FORMED YOU! And if there is anything in going on in your life where you feel like no one knows you, understands you, or accepts you…remember this. God does! He knew you BEFORE you knew you. Matter of fact, a great assignment today is to begin the process of discovering WHO HE KNEW BEFORE HE FORMED YOU!

Thank you in advance for all your birthday wishes! I can feel them in my spirit. If you want me to feel them in my cash app, just hit me up at $fonjames or you can also donate and show love here on the website! I love you all and thank you so much for being a part of the On Assignment By God FAMILY!!

SALVATION PRAYER

If you don’t know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior and you’re not a believer, but you have a desire to be, all you have to do is openly confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9). When you pray that prayer, you are saved. Get connected with a good, bible-based church in your community, stay connected to other believers, and start having daily conversations through prayer with God every single day. Welcome to your new life with Jesus Christ!!!
