When is the last time you stood steadfastly on God’s Word for yourself?  So you have had disappointments and discouragements. We all have.  The difference between a successful prayer warrior and an unsuccessful one is persistence and consistency.  If there has been a failure, find out where it failed and keep on going, learning and succeeding as you go.

Faith, confidence is produced as we talk about the goodness of God and think on what His Word says to us.  He is a God of faith.  He is a God of encouragement.  He wants us to succeed in all that we set our hands to.  When we pray, He wants to hear faith and confidence in His ability to answer our prayers.  It is His ability that is released on our behalf.  It is not our ability.  Have confidence in God’s ability being released to answer your prayers.

Your prayers are effective; they are mighty; they work; they produce results.  Mighty man or woman of God, when you pray, your prayers produce the effect desired.  God has given you His power to produce the effect intended.  Believe in yourself as much as God does.  Know that your prayers are powerful.  Receive God’s encouragement and know that your Godly prayers are producing results.  Believe it!  Receive it!  Have it!

Are you ready to walk in victory in 2013?  OK, let’s do something about it.  Our victory that overcomes the world is our faith in God and His ability to take care of us and keep things complete and whole for our lives.  We overcome the world by believing that Jesus is the Son of God.  Well, as the Son of God, He is our Prince of Peace, our source of completeness and wholeness.

There is an authority that the children of God carry, which is felt by those around them.  That authority is demonstrated in their peace.

Peace is so much more than the absence of turmoil.  The Hebrew word SHALOM indicates far more than absence of turmoil.  In essence, it means: Completeness, wholeness, with nothing missing out of your life and nothing broken in your life

In the middle of a world that seems to be out of control in every direction, let us make this year our year of PEACE with the PRINCE OF PEACE as our direction finder.  In every situation you and I encounter this year, let’s make a quality decision to yield to peace instead of panic in our prayer time.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  This year go for it—-decide to believe, regardless of what you encounter.  Make it your goal that you are a believer, even if nobody else believes.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!  HOPE IN THE ONE WHO WAS BORN TO GIVE YOU HOPE!

Don’t you consider it absolutely awesome that God has provided a divine connection called prayer between you and Him to guide your expectancy through His Word and through His Holy Spirit!  A Spirit-directed prayer, based on the Word of God, produces God’s expectancy and thus God’s results.
