Personal Message
Greetings,
I pray you are prospering in the Lord. God is faithful and He is still in control.
We had a powerful Miracle, healing and deliverance service last month with Prophetess Annie Wolo Johnson of Faith Healing Ministries. Many were blessed and testimonies of healing, miracles and deliverance abound. Some of the testimonies are posted on the praise reports page on our website.
Some of you may still be facing some challenges, but be encouraged. God has not forgotten about you. He knows where you live and He knows your every need. I encourage you to meditate on James 1:2-4 until you receive your breakthrough! "Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing."
Stay blessed!

Today, we are living in God's great end time harvest. We know that God's judgments are coming upon this earth. Already we see signs and prophecies being fulfilled before our eyes, which lets us know that Christ's coming is near.
In the midst of all that is happening today in our world, in the midst of all the seemingly impossible problems and situations you face, there is a key which will enable you to stand victorious over any and every obstacle or problem. That key is WORSHIP!
We are to continually offer up praise and worship unto God. As we do this "He who sits upon the throne will shelter them (us) with His presence. They (we) shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; the sun shall not strike them (us), not any scorching heat" (Revelation 7:15 -16).
Today, as we enter a new dimension of worship and praise by continually offering up sacrifices of praise and worship; declaring His praises to the world and glorifying God in our spirit and body; God's presence is going to cover us!
God wants you to know that, regardless of the circumstances you are facing, or may face in the future, He is on the throne, and He is in control. As you begin to offer up sacrifices of praise, His presence will cover you and protect you. In the midst of your trials and temptations, He will make you victorious.
Beloved, take time right now to offer up sacrifices of praise unto the Holy One seated in power and majesty upon His throne. He is worthy to be praised.
Shalom!

FOCUS ON GOD
There are a few reasons why people don't experience the God-kind of results when they are in pressure situations. The first is that they don't look toward God alone. In other words, they turn to other people for guidance rather than the Father. While people may help you feel better when you are going through a tough time, they don't have the answers to your problem; only God does.
King David was another example of a man who turned his face toward God and sought him when he was faced with insurmountable challenges at Ziklag. His enemy had kidnapped all the women and children in the camp, and his men wanted to turn on him because of it. David didn't know what to do so he sought God; he had no one else to whom he could turn. As a result, God turned around what looked like an impossible situation and David recovered all that was taken from him and his people (1 Samuel 30:1-6).
The second reason why many people don't see breakthrough in their lives is because their prayers aren't intense enough. James 5:16 says that effectual, fervent prayer is what gets results. Fervent prayer is prayer that applies intense exertion or ardent zeal. It continually bombards the enemy so that he can't retaliate. You can't just quote the scriptures a couple times a month and expect to get a breakthrough. You've got to get violent with your faith! That means that you apply the Word of God to your situation with intensity and consistency until you see results.
Finally, it is important that you maintain a perfect heart toward God. Many times Christians think that they must be perfect in order to obtain God's favor, but God isn't looking for outward displays of perfection; He is looking for a heart that always wants to do His will. That is what a perfect heart is. God doesn't look at the outward appearance of a person; He looks at the heart and intentions of a man (1 Samuel 16:7). When you miss the mark, repent and ask God to forgive you. Keep pressing into His will for your life, and seek to obey Him at every turn. You display a perfect heart when you do.
God is ready to show Himself strong on your behalf in the midst of hopeless situations. But you have to believe that He will come through for you. Turn your face to the wall and focus on the Word. Intensify your prayers and watch God perform a miracle on your behalf. He is faithful to do it when you focus on Him!
