Prayer for the Narrow Place

Dear Heavenly Father, Lord of the covenant, bend down and hear our prayer. Answer us in Your mercy, kindness, and unfailing love as we constantly call out to You. Protect us and save us for we serve You and trust You as our God. Lord, You are good and ready to hear our cry, offer forgiveness, and perform wonderful deeds as we wait and worship You. Give us happiness and teach us Your ways. Let us operate in truth and purity of heart, sincere, undivided and wholly fixed on You. Rescue us with Your love and compassion. Grant us new strength. Show us Your favor. You are great in who You are and what You do. May Your name be glorified as You demonstrate Your deliverance. Let all bow before You and praise Your holy name. (Psalm 86) Amen

UP – A United People

God is calling the local New Testament Church UP! He is calling us to rise UP in faith, to believe His promises, and possess our inheritance in Christ. He is calling us to be an UP people. What does the Bible have to say about being an UP people? Revelation 4:1 reads , "After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, "Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this." What do I mean by becoming an UP people? UP simply stands for a United People! If we are going to experience His power and anointing in a new way then we must become an UP people. We must unite together as one. How will this happen? It will take the anointing of the Holy Spirit to make it happen. Unity is a product of the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 4:2 reads, " Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." How do we position ourselves t...

The Wilderness Season is Over

Recently the Lord spoke very clearly to me and said, “The wilderness season is over.” The Body of Christ has been in a wilderness season. It is time for us to cross over into our promised inheritance and possess our promises. I believe that the wilderness season is coming to a close. When the children of Israel were enslaved in bondage they began to cry out to God for deliverance. God heard their cries and spoke to Moses through a burning bush in the wilderness, and commissioned him to lead them out of Egypt and back to the land that He had promised them through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The Promised Land was a land that flowed with milk and honey. It was given to Abraham and was their promised inheritance. Like the children of Israel God is calling us to rise up in faith and possess our promised inheritance in Him. Several weeks ago we celebrated Passover. Before God delivered the children of Israel out of Egypt He instituted the Passover. Passover marks the beginning of the...

Revival's Coming to our Land

Revival's coming to our land. A powerful outpouring from God's hand. Revival's coming in waves of power to all who will believe. The Spirit's instructions are enlarge your heart's capacity to receive. Revival is coming as a mighty raging fire. It will cleanse the sinners and believers inspire. Revival is coming as a rushing mighty wind. God says, "Church be ready for what I will send." Revival's coming - His blessing will fall like rain. It will release those held captive and heal those held in prisons of pain. Revival's coming with thunder and lightning God's voice will be heard. Will we be ready to hear His word! Revival's coming its time to pray. Revival's coming to a people who say - No matter the price we are willing to pay. W. Terry Baily 2/28/1998

A Normal or Abnormal Church

I don’t want to have church as usual but I want to experience an outpouring from heaven. We need to have a renewed sense of mission and a renewed sense of direction. Too many within the church have fallen into a rut and have allowed the winds of adversity to blow them off course. We must get back to Spirit-Filled living. God longs to pour out His Spirit upon and within His church. Recently the Lord began to deal with me about being a normal or abnormal church. I don’t know what kind of church that you are looking for, but I know what kind of church God is looking for! What we call normal, God calls abnormal! What God calls abnormal we call normal. The following items will help us distinguish between a normal or abnormal church: A Normal Church is predictable and refuses to embrace what God is Saying. An Abnormal Church is unpredictable and spends time listening to God’s voice. A Normal Church does the same things and you can set your clock by...

Time to Cross Over

Recently in prayer, I felt that the Lord was saying, "It is time to cross over." We are close to the Passover Season. Passover represents a time of crossing over. In Mark 4:35 we read the words of Jesus, " On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, let us cross over to the other side." Why did Jesus feel compelled to cross over to the side? He felt to cross over because there was an assignment on the other side with a man with an unclean spirit. This is a season to cross over into your new assignment. God always has an assignment for you. We must find what God is asking of us? Please note in Mark 4:36-41 that Jesus and His disciples encountered a storm on the Sea of Galilee as they endeavored to cross over to the other side. I believe there is a principle here. When you endeavor to cross over into your new assignment and enter your new season, you will encounter a battle or a storm designed to prevent you from crossing over into your inher...

Winds of Adversity Part 3 – Extreme Pressure

The third wind of adversity in our four part series on the Winds of Adversity is extreme pressure. One of the winds of adversity that we are dealing with today is anxiety and pressure. "The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith; and the beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety." — George Muller The Bible addresses anxiety in a number of places. Daniel 7:25 teaches that one of the tactics of the enemy is to "wear out the saints." The enemy's strategy is to wear us down with extreme pressure. Anxiety and extreme pressure will leave you emotionally drained – exhausted, and without hope. Many of you are experiencing great pressure. Satan's plan is to wear you out physically and emotionally, and move you out of God's timing. Daniel 7:25 reads, "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws:" What does the Bible say about dealing with anxiety? Anxi...
