Dear Father: I praise You as You hear my prayer. Forgive me of transgressions and iniquitous patterns in my generations. Cause me to be drawn to You and experience Your goodness. Show me Your mighty deeds, confidence, strength, and power. Still everything around me and enable me to rejoice from morning until evening. Visit me, enrich me, and provide all you have prepared for me. Watch over and bless me. Crown my year with goodness and guide me as I follow your path with abundance. Let me prosper in your joy as you place songs in my heart. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen. Psalm 65

The year 2010 is an important because it is the first year in a new decade. It is hard to believe that we are now ten years into the 21st Century. We are entering into the second decade of the 21st Century. Why is the first year important? Because we must position ourselves in this coming new year. The way we respond to what God says to us and where He places us will establish us for the upcoming decade. I have recently been praying for direction for the new year. What does God have for us in 2010? Why do we need prophetic direction for the coming year? We need prophetic direction so that we can consecrate ourselves and draw closer to God. We need direction so that we can enter into all that God has for us as His people. Amos 3:7 reads, "“Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.” Dr. Chuck Pierce recently taught, “We need to understand the times and the seasons of the Lord, Pierce explained how the church has come ...

We are currently live in a changing world. Over the last two years the world has changed drastically and will continue to do so in the coming year. The church must learn how to discern the changing seasons. We must allow the Holy Spirit to teach us how to embrace what God is doing and when to enter into a new season. We are in the closing days of 2009 and about to enter into 2010. What does God have for us in the coming year? I believe that Genesis 26 is a key chapter to read and study for the coming year. This will be a year to redig some wells that have been stolen and stopped up by the enemy. It will also be a year to dig new wells. I believe that 2010 will be a year of movement. Some reading this posting have been sensing a geographical change coming, but just don't know where. God is going to bring things in focus in the coming year and put the pieces together for you. There are four different winds of adversity that are going to come against the b...

Unity comes with a great price. It does not just happen. The Apostle Paul wrote these words to the church at Ephesus in Ephesians 4:3, “Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” The Amplified Bible reads, “Be eager and strive earnestly to guard and keep the harmony and oneness of [and produced by] the Spirit in the binding power of peace.” Unity is not without cost. It is the result of a people who are submitted first the Lord, then to the God given authority in their lives. Unity cost you your own agenda. It means uniting together behind the mission and vision of the church. Most churches never realize their potential because they have not settled the authority question. If you have a problem submitting to authority then you have a submission issue in your relationship with the Lord. If we cannot submit to the God ordained authority in our lives then we will not be able to...

The Apostle Paul wrote the first letter to the Corinthians to address division in the Church.  Division in a church, a family, or an organization becomes an entrance point for the enemy.  The enemy thrives in a divided atmosphere.  Disunity and division produces contention. Contention is defined as “a struggling together in opposition; strife.  a striving in rivalry; competition; contest.  strife in debate; dispute; controversy.” (Dictionary.com). A divided church is a contentious church.  Division is a problem that happens in every church.  The early church experienced this problem in Acts 6:1-7.  Verse 1 reads, "There arose a murmuring against the Hebrews by the Hellenists, because their windows were neglected in the daily distribution."  This problem was solved by addressing the problem through prayer.  Verse 3 reads, "Therefore brethren seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom w...
