The answer...

My prayer:
God of all creation who knows everything and is all powerful. I am so grateful that I get to come to you with whatever challenge is before me or before the people you have placed in my life. If someone is sick, you are our healer. If someone needs money, you are our provider. If someone needs wisdom to make a good decision, you are the knower of all things and you give us wisdom. If someone is in danger, you are our protector. 


God, we have more needs than we do people in this world. thank you for being the answer to every single one! I love you God and I pray for all of your children who are sick, in need, needing guidance, what ever the need God, I lift them up to you tonight God. You are the answer for every one. I love you Daddy! 


What God Said Tonight:
Your prayer has been very similar the last several nights. It is true that I am the answer to every need. There is nothing that has ever happened or ever will happen that I cannot handle. Nothing that is bigger than my ability to deal with it. 


I am not shocked by any situation or any problem I already know them all anyway. When you bring them to me, it is  not a surprise but I rejoice that you have brought it to me. I rejoice in your faith. I rejoice in our trust in me. Bring me every burden. Don't leave anything out. Leave them with me and I will fight the battle. The battle is and always has been mine. Leave it with me. 


There you go, now you are letting it go. You don't have to be tough. You don't have to be strong. You just have to give it to me and let me deal with it. 


There was a lot of things coming against you last week. You tried to be strong and stand up to it. I don't need you to do that. Standing strong in faith means giving it over to me so i can deal with it. Don't carry a burden that is not yours to carry. Let me carry the burden and you walk free to do the things we have talked about. I love you and I am here to fight your battles, carry your burdens and be your answer. Always.

Good vs. bad...

My prayer:
Miracle working God. You continue to amaze me every day! Two fantastic healing praise reports today!! Thank you for healing my friend's mom of breast cancer and the good report she got today that she will not need chemotherapy.

Thank you for healing that baby who is still growing in her mother's womb. The doctors confirmed today that "they don't know what happened"...but the baby is completely healthy and won't need the blood transfusions that they thought she would!

God I love your miracle healings!!! There is something so fantastic in seeing you smack down disease, injury or conditions! How many times have we heard the doctors say, "I can't explain it but..."

I am just in the mood to celebrate and praise you tonight God. What an amazing God you are. How did I get so lucky, so blessed to be chosen by you? How did I manage to find you in the midst of this crazy world and all the things that try to take people away from you? There are so many times that had I made a different decision or had you not intervened, I can't imagine where I would be.

Living for you is the most amazing experience. Full of intense joy and full of intense challenges. Thank you God for the joy and the challenges. Thank you for not being satisfied with leaving me like I am. Thank you for trusting me to not quit and to keep on going with you. I love you so much God.


What God said tonight:
What you said tonight is true. Living this life is amazing, both in the joy it brings and the challenges it brings. Thank you for recognizing the value in the challenge.

Some things that people see as "bad" are really the best thing for them. It is time to change perspective. It is time to change how you view "good" and "bad" things. "Good" things should be defined as anything that brings you closer to me. "Bad" things should be anything that takes you further away from me. This is the value system that you need to look at the world and circumstances with.

If you see everything in this light, you can surround yourself with "good" things. You can think on "good" things and your life will be so much better. "Good" does not mean only those things that make you feel good or happy. "Bad" does not always mean the things that make you feel pain or sad. Redefine how you see the circumstance and you can better respond to them.

Life is good because it gives you a chance to get closer to me. A life lived for me is very good because you are drawing closer to me everyday. Death is bad because it separates you from me (if you have not received everlasting life). A life lived without me is bad because it is without me.

Draw close to me, surround yourself with people and things that draw you closer to me. Concentrate on getting closer to me. This relationship we have is precious and grows every day.

I love you and want to be one with you. I want to be so close that people can't tell where you end I begin. I want that which is good for your life. I love you and your life. It is good.

Father's Day...

My prayer:
Mighty and awesome God. Creator of the universe and Father to all humanity. I honor you tonight in recognition of Father's Day. Thank you for being my father. Thank you for teaching me what that really means through the amazing "fathers" and "big brothers" you put in my life over the last several years.

It was only a few years ago when we were in Israel that the minister asked me, "Who is God to you and who is he not." My answer at that time was that you were teacher, healer and Lord in my life but that you were not father because my only concept of father was pretty twisted. I didn't know about a loving father who wanted to protect and provide for his children. "Father" to me at the time meant abuse, control and anger. Thank you for showing me the real meaning of "father." Thank you for healing my relationship with my biological dad. Thank you for healing the wounds and the holes that were left by a messed up childhood and bringing me to this place where I can rest and trust you as father in my life. You took what was a huge void in my life and within a matter of a few years, turned it into one of the most blessed areas of my life.

Thank you Father. I love you so much! I pray that I never lose the dependency of a daughter on her father with you.

What God said tonight:
It's good. When I created the world and all that was in it, I recognized it as being inherently good. Some things have happened since then. Things that make it hard to always see the good, but see with my eyes and you will see the good that is still there.

Every hurt can be healed, no matter how deep. Every pain can be soothed, no matter how intense. Your pain was a great example of the limitlessness of the healing that is yours. You must never forget. You must always remember that there is no pain, no problem no situation that is too much for me to take care of.

With earthly fathers, kids usually believe that to be true of their dad for a period of time when they are young. Then something almost always happens to show them that it is not true and they become disillusioned. They realize that dad is just a human, just a man and there is disappointment, a let down. But with me, there never needs to be that let down. I will never let you down. I need you to understand that, especially in the days to come. I need you to be always aware of my power in your life. I need you to always remember that you are my number one priority.

I love you daughter. I had a wonderful day. Thank you for spending time with me.

The ripple effect...

My Prayer:
Wow God, what a week so far. I'm pooped but excited to see you reaching people. I can't wait to see what you do next. I love it when you do the unexpected in my life. I love your surprises! We have the group from India coming tomorrow and I ask for your favor. I don't know what this opportunity will turn into, but I trust you to work it all to our good.

I want to lift up the many friends in my life that are struggling with sickness, disease and injury tonight God. I thank you for every miraculous healing that I have seen you do, both in my life and in the lives of those around me. I love it when you just show up and take care of it on the spot, like you did with my back on Sunday. That was awesome God! I didn't even pray. I was thinking, "Hmm, my back really hurts." (from so gracefully falling down the stairs on Saturday :) Then I thought, "I should ask for prayer at church today." Then you said, "Do you want prayer or do you want to be healed." I said I wanted to be healed and within 30 seconds, whiz bang, my back was perfect with no pain! I love that stuff God! I want to see more of it.

I want to see you heal like you did in the Acts church. I want to see us receive your healing as easily as we receive the sickness, disease and injury. I want our faith to be as persistent as our fear. I am not there yet. I pray that you help me to get there. I pray that you help me to see the barriers to receiving all that you have for us. I pray that you continue to teach me how to be more completely the woman of God that you want me to be so I can be the blessing you intend me to be.

God you are amazing, perfect and everything I could ever want or need. I love you with a love that I don't fully understand. I need you in a way that is so constant it is simply a part of who I am. Mighty, awesome, incredible creator of the universe. I remain in awe...

What God said tonight:
Don't worry about tomorrow. Don't worry about being good enough. Simply don't worry. We are on track. Your going to see all of what you envision. You are going to see the hundreds, thousands, millions healed. You are going to see me do even greater miracles. You are going to see it all.

I have shown you the lines of people waiting for prayer to be healed. What I haven't yet shown you is the millions of people whose faith is made stronger as a result of seeing those people be healed. What I haven't shown you is the ripple effect of every act of service and obedience in your life. Every time you say yes to me, there is a great ripple effect through the Kingdom of God. The smallest act of obedience can have a truly profound effect on millions of people.

I rejoice in your obedience. I rejoice in your submission and service to the Kingdom and the people. I rejoice in your service to me. But I don't love you any more or any less because you serve me. I don't love you any more or less because of your obedience, your faithfulness. I don't love you any more or less when you don't serve, disobey or lack faithfulness.

I love the heart of who you are. I love the perfected spirit that is in you. We will do great things together, but those great things won't make me love you any more or any less. You do not have to perform for me. Continue to love me and the rest will come. Continue to spend time with me, true quality time and the rest will come. Continue to tell others about me so they can come to know me as well and the rest will come.

I love you my daughter. You are so very precious to me. You're worth more than rubies or gold and you are the apple of my eye. Don't forget that and walk in the confidence of my love every day.
