Right now, you have resurrection power attached to your prayer life! You can look on things that are absolutely dead and pray forth eternal LIFE! The power in us is the same potency God demonstrated when He raised Jesus out of the grave; it is resurrection power. Our mission is to bring resurrection life to situations that are dead.

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
"So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."—Matthew 6:25-34

The power of contentment
“I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at last you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you lacked opportunity. Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:10 – 13 NASV

For the mature, no position or esteem among men can replace the "surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus [our] Lord."

He wants to hold you when you're sad, rejoice when you're victorious and walk through life's journey with you.

make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God.
Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low;
the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain.
And the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all mankind together will see it.
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken."
To every weary pastor, fainting worship leader and discouraged Believer, keep on keeping on in worship! The enemy may be asking you,What is the use? But you must see from God's point of view that your seemingly insignificant worship is pushing back the powers of darkness! The highway is now appearing!

God wants to birth a new culture and mindset in the Church this year that will release His love and compassion at a new level. Therefore it is a time to seek His face and let Him turn our hearts so He can bring to birth an awakening of His love and redemptive power in the world.
God is giving great grace to turn things the right direction in the Church so we can display His love, His power, and His glory to the nation.
Our wineskin must be more flexible, forgiving, loving, and accepting if we are to be as Jesus is in this present world. Dead religion still looks for a legal remedy for life's problems. But the Kingdom of the Son of His Love looks for a redemptive solution. A great turning is coming to us. Let's pray—even travail—till it's birthed.

God's Covenant Will Meet More than Just Our Needs
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is a covenant-making God. God made a covenant with Abraham to bless him so much that all the nations of the earth would be blessed through his seed. Jesus made a covenant with all who put their trust in Him and follow Him into a new life in the Spirit that surpasses anything humanity has ever been offered. He will never leave or forsake us.
The love and grace that saved us can bless us so much that we have more than enough to bless others in the same way. No matter what happens in this present world or in our personal lives, we are blessed and made to be a blessing.
This year is a time to discover how to move into covenant blessing and see miracles of redemption more than ever before. Let it start with our nuclear families and spill over into our communities of faith and into the world. Need is temporary, but God's blessings are eternal. Don't settle for getting your needs met, reach for His covenant blessings.

Jesus is a Shepherd of Love
"When He saw the crowds He had compassion on them because they were harassed and helpless like sheep without a shepherd." Matthew 9:36
"I am the Good Shepherd; I know My sheep and My sheep know Me, just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father – and I lay down My life for the sheep." John 10:14-15
A good shepherd will leave ninety-nine sheep to go and search for just one sheep that is lost. Whether we are sent to one, one hundred, one thousand or one million, the principle of the heart of our Shepherd King is to seek and save the lost.
"'Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?' Jesus replied, 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the law and the prophets hang on these two commandments.'" Matthew 22:36-40

Servanthood is not about the language we use on our lips but about the language of God's love expressed through our heart motivation and responses to life, discipleship and mission.

"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God..." 1 John 4:7
"We love because He first loved us." Verse 19
In this world there is a confusing and sometimes horrific array of what "love" looks like and how love is expressed. It is therefore important to anchor our understanding of love in the purity of the origin of love. As John teaches us in Scripture, true love comes from God alone. God is the origin of love and His unconditional love is a sanctuary from every other kind of conditional, demanding, abusive and perverse love that the spirit of the world attempts to dupe lonely and hurting people with.
Beloved saints of God, we carry within us the most powerful force on the earth – His love! We can only love because God first loved us and in knowing this love we are exhorted to show one another love.

As the King of kings, Jesus decreed love to His disciples, "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another." (John 13:34-35)
"You call Me Teacher and Lord, and rightly so, for that is what I am." John 13:13
Jesus taught by lifestyle modeling. In other words, the Lord demonstrated God's perfect love in all that He spoke, thought and did. As a Son serving His Father, Jesus gave us the perfect blueprint: when we give God precedence (first place) in our lives by living out the mandate of the two Great Commandments, He sets a precedent (something original and brand new) as we reach out in His love.
Giving God's love first place causes our hearts to overflow with God's, and other people (our neighbors) become our priority. We are therefore enabled to be apostolic ministers because of His resurrection love.

"God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him." 1 John 4:16b
God didn't just give us His love for the moment of salvation. God's love is intended to be our lifestyle and our permanent focus and flow. When we realize this important truth, we will not be striving to love others. Love is a gift that our Father has given to us as His children. We don't produce God's love. We receive grace, we embrace the Holy Spirit and we can, therefore, live in God's love 24/7 and 365 days a year.
God's miracle-working love is relevant in every situation, circumstance, culture and people group on the face of the earth. God's love is the antidote to every war, every kind of hate and all societal problems. God's love is the only lifestyle that doesn't carry a "government health warning!" In fact, God's love is unparalleled in its Governmental authority and untouchable in the purity and power of its global jurisdiction.

"This is love; not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." 1 John 4:10
Jesus was sent to suffer for our sake and to take our place in many divine exchanges at the Cross. He was forsaken so that we may be accepted. He took our sin, our sickness and our poverty and exchanged them for forgiveness, health and prosperity in the Kingdom of God. When we consider what the Lord suffered for our sakes, we realize that the Cross is the epicenter and ultimate expression of the Father's love expressed in Christ to us.
Sending is sacrificial, and produces fruit that will last for all eternity. Jesus walked in obedience to His Father's will and embraced Calvary at the core of His understanding of what it meant to be a son serving in a "sent one's" capacity and so, too, must we. Sending is about the multiplication of God's love. In being sent, we become Kingdom ambassadors with a harvest mission and a glory canopy over us of the finished work of the power of the Cross and the Blood of Jesus. Amen! Catherin Brown

"This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him." 1 John 4:9
Perhaps you may have heard the phrase, "prove it" when someone is less than convinced on a matter. I have found that not-yet-Christians occasionally struggle to understand that God's love has no gimmick, no "catch," no hidden agenda or secret clause. In His kindness, God foreknew that this might come up in conversation and so we rely on the proof of God's love - Jesus was sent to the Cross from the Father in love. Sending flows from God the Father's heart, and Jesus' sacrifice at Calvary and gives us life in abundance.
When we realize that we can live in and through Christ's finished work at Calvary, we come to an experiential understanding that our life-blood is in being a "sent" one.

Word for Today
Making a difference - I'm not a blind optimist. Bad things can happen. Our economic situation could get worse. My point is that we're here to overcome evil with good. It's time to get to work and offer solutions that will put our nations, cultures and communities on God's track. We're here to reverse recessions and cause revivals. We don't just pray for results, we are the agents for change that bring the results. Prayer isn't what we do; it empowers what we do. John Garfield

I believe that there is a new season coming on God’s children and this earth that will be releasing an intense oil of restoration and reconciliation. It is an oil that says, "We will not throw them away; instead, we will salvage every one of them and restore them to their original purpose and destiny."
This oil is extremely strong in nutrients. It is potent to the enemy because it will give enough life to whatever it touches to raise back up the dead areas of our lives and bring a total renovation. When God puts his hands of restoration on a life, He completes it fully. Something restored often increases in value and beauty.

Preparing for War
If you are willing to take up the supernatural weapon of prayer and fasting as a regular part of your arsenal, then say to the Lord right now, "As You lead, Lord Jesus." If you are willing to pay the price of regular prayer and fasting so that you can pull down strongholds, have victory for your life, and bring deliverance and freedom to the captives in your generation, then tell the Lord, "Where You lead me, Lord, I will follow." Mahesh Chavda

Jesus expects you to fast and to pray. In Matthew 6:5-7, He didn't say, "When you feel like praying…." No, He said three times, "When you pray…." Not if.
In the same way, Jesus didn't say, "If you should someday decide to try to fast, although I know it's almost impossible for you…" in Matthew 6:16-17. No, He said, "When you fast…." He didn't give us the option not to fast. He considered it to be such a natural part of the Christian life that He told the disciples and their critics that prayer and fasting would be a part of their lives after He left them. Nothing has changed since He said those words. If you are a Christian, then you pray. If you are a Christian, then you fast. Mahesh Chavda
