My prayer:
Thank you for an incredible small group tonight God!!! Thank you for bringing new people to the group tonight! Thank you for the amazing healing praise reports!! Thank you for healing one of the member's back pain (that she has had for 2 years) tonight before our eyes!!! I love to see your amazing power at work!!!!!!!!
I just have to praise you tonight. I just have to let everybody know that your power is real. That you are real. That your promises are REAL!!!! You are so amazing. Thank you for being YOU!!!! My God you are amazing! I wonder if I can type in my heavenly language? Wonder what that would be like or if it is even possible?
You are awesome, amazing, incredible, fantastic, marvelous, terrific, perfect. You are every good word that has ever been created. It is so easy to love you!!!!!
What God said tonight:
You make me smile daughter. It is my pleasure to show my power to you and to your friends. It is easy to bless you when I know you will recognize me as the source and not let it get you messed up. One of the dangers of blessings is that people can get stuck on the blessing and forget who blessed them. When I know that you won't forget, you won't forget me, it is easy to bless.
Your world is about to change. I have been talking about it for awhile and you have already seen a lot of changes, but it is about to change even more. I know you are ready, but I want you prepared and on the edge of your seat for this next change. I want you poised to act. I want you to be so ready to move that there is no hesitation. Like the door of the plane, just step out. I will be your tandem instructor behind you to give you the last minute nudge, but step out. Be poised and ready.
You are so going to love this next stage. You are so ready. I love you, I adore you and I will lift you to the next level. My darling daughter, you are mine and I am yours forever.

Unity...
My Prayer:
What a weird day God. Thank you for reminding me tonight of the vision and promise. Thank you for friends who hear you and speak into my life. Thank you for bringing them to me to speak over the things that I am afraid to ask you about. Thanks for knowing what I need even before I tell you.
You are so amazing. I love you more than I even thought was possible to love. I remain so grateful to you for all that you do everyday for me, for my family, for my friends and for the world. So often people ask me, "Where is your God?" when they see disaster, tragedy or sickness. You are in the rescue, the restoration, and the healing. You are in the recovery business in a world where we are bent on making decisions that try to destroy us. Thank you God for being my saviour, redeemer and recovery guy! I am yours now and forever. Thank you for renewed vision tonight.
What God said tonight:
I love you, just in case you forgot. I do what I do out of my love for you. Keep trusting and loving me. Sweep away the distractions so we can be together as one. I want your whole life. I want your entire devotion. I want your love.
It isn't that you can't have fun or a life. Remember, I came to to bring you life and bring it more abundantly. But in living, be one with me. Let there be a unity between you and I that cannot be broken. Let there be a unity of purpose that cannot be shaken. Let there be unity that brings strength and accomplishes what you cannot accomplish on your own.
Find the place of agreement, both with those people in your life and with me and run with it. Look for the places of agreement, that's where the strength is. That's where the action is. I love you and in this unity we will accomplish more tomorrow than today.
Rest my love. There is a great purpose in tomorrow and you will need your strength to meet it.

I LOVE YOU...
My prayer:
Healer, great physician. maker of every one of us, creator of the universe. In awe of you Lord. Thank you for your healing power. Thank you for being the great healer of our bodies, our emotions, or spirits and our souls. Thank you God for healing me. Thank you for healing my friends, my family and so many more people throughout the world.
Thank you for being the God that I can always run to. Thank you for being the one that I know will always be there no matter what the challenge. Thank you that I can trust you when everything else has gone crazy. Thank you for being the calm in the storm and the peace that passes all understanding.
Thank you for being my provider. Thank you that you meet all of my needs out of your riches in glory. Thank you for teaching me how to be a woman of God. Thank you for loving me and teaching me how to be loved. Thank you for teaching me how to love.
Thank you for the Bible that teaches me all of the promises that you have for me, for us. Thank you for amazing experiences that help me to grow and to know you better every day. Thank you for incredible people who encourage and love on me. Life is so much better with people to share it with!
If there was a word better than awesome, I would use that word. Sometimes I wish we had a whole new vocabulary just to praise you God. It seems inadequate to use the same words that I use everyday for everyday things. Maybe that's one reason you gave us the heavenly prayer languages through the Holy Spirit? You knew we would run out of words to worship you adequately? You have all of my praise, my worship and my love Lord.
What God said tonight:
Hear me tonight daughter. You are loved. You are loved. You are loved. I love you, you know that. Know that you are loved. The assurance that comes from truly understanding you are loved and that you don't have to earn it is so important. Hear me again, I love you.
Your praise is beautiful and a sweet fragrance to me. I adore your words and even more, your heart. I love to spend this time with you. You are everything I hoped you to be. When I was creating you, I had this day in mind. I had this moment in mind. I love you. Peace...rest, love, live, pray, it is an easy formula. And remember, I LOVE YOU!!!!

Serving...
My Prayer:
Lord my God, I'm here tonight without much to say. Thank you for your protection today. Thank you for amazing people in my life. Thank you for all you accomplished today.
I don't feel like I did much today. I guess I helped a couple people in little ways. Doesn't feel like enough. I feel a bit empty tonight. Part of it might be the Sunday night blues. I'm almost never excited for another Monday.
Ok, I am going to stop whining right now. Sorry God. How about I focus on the amazing love and patience you have for me. God, how long do you have to hear me complain about the same stuff? You are so patient. You would be well within your "rights" to have turned your back on me long ago.
Why is it easier for me to see what isn't there than it is to see all the amazing things that are there? Last week in Bible study we talked about not looking at the donut hole but looking at the sprinkles. I need to look at the sprinkles more. You are my sprinkles. The joy you bring in my life, the opportunities, the people, and the love.
You had me born on this day quite a few years ago with a purpose and a plan for my life. I pray God that you correct for anything I have done to mess up that purpose. I pray that everything you need to be accomplished through me is accomplished. I pray that I don't get in my own way of what you want to do through me. I pray God that you continue to teach me to love and to pray and to live for you. I pray that each day is one day closer to you God. I love you God. I will continue to do my best. Forgive me when my best is not enough to accomplish what you need to accomplish. Cover me with your grace so people always see you in me.
What God said tonight:
Sweet love. Listen to me and hear me. It is time for a new leaf, a new day. It is time to stop repeating the same circle. You have much to learn and much to say. You are a teacher and a prayer warrior but you are about to see how that plays out in a whole new arena.
You are about to see how the preparation of the last 10+ years is going to be used. Every moment of the preparation will be used for your good and for the Kingdom of God. You won't have to worry about not doing enough. You are doing more than you realize. Buying toilet paper when the church runs out is as important as praying for the sick to be healed. All service is the same. It all has the same level of importance and the same level of reward. Just like there is no sin that is greater than other sins, there is no service that is greater than another service. I value it all.
I value the submission and the willingness to serve. I value the servants heart. I don't value the result. I am in charge of the result, not you. So I value your willingness. I value that you say yes whenever I ask. I value that you seek out opportunities to bless people. That is what I value and that is what you need to teach. Teach by example.
New level, new leaf, new year and new season. I love you more than you can receive but I love you that much anyway because I can't help it. I wouldn't want to if I could. Press forward my love.

Highs and lows...
My prayer:
Incredible God. You really are more than I can imagine. I can barely wrap my mind around the aspects of you that you have shown me so far and I know that is just the tip of the iceberg.
God, when I get out of my own box, when I step outside of what is comfortable, I get to see a glimpse of how much more there is in life. How much more there is of you. Your love, your knowledge, your power is infinite. Infinite, there is a word that I use but can I actually grasp it. Can I grasp something I have never seen, heard or felt? Never ending. Never ending love. Never ending strength and power. Never ending...wow.
Today I stepped out of what was comfortable and for a minute got to see life from a new perspective. A new angle. It has left me in awe. It has left me sitting here kind of lost in my own mind. It has also left me dissatisfied with life as usual. That is always hard for me. When I experience something amazing, like skydiving or seeing you heal someone, I love it, it is amazing and I am so excited. Then, afterward, there is day to day life and it feels like a let down. I get a little addicted to the highs God. I love them and can't wait for the next one.
I pray God for your power and anointing in services around the world tomorrow. I thank you for the freedom to worship you. I thank you for an amazing church at Zyxter that is so focused on seeking you and really trying to leave the religious routine behind. I pray a special blessing on the Pastors of Zyxter. Let them know that all the work they are putting in every day is important, meaningful and a fulfilment of what you have called them to. I pray God that you prepare me to serve in whatever capacity you have for me. I thank you for the opportunity to serve your people and Kingdom. There is really nothing better than serving you. I love you Daddy. Thank you for today!
What God said tonight:
Darling daughter. Your place is here. Your time is here. Your work is here. You are in perfect position for what I have for you now. I appreciate that there is a let down, but the life of a servant of the Kingdom of God is that way sometimes. If you were high all the time, you wouldn't recognize the joy of it. The day to day, makes it possible to fully appreciate the amazing miraculous moments.
You are going to see many more things in your life. You are going to see many more miracles, some of which you can't even imagine right now. There are people that you are going to meet that will blow your mind. There are things you will do that are so far beyond what you have done so far. There are things you will see that you will doubt your own eyes at times. I have so much for you. I have so many things to show you yet. Try to remember that in the day to day. Try to always remember that we have an amazing future together.
Your prayers for services have been heard. You know how I love when people gather in my name. Worship in spirit and in truth tomorrow. Let you worship make a way into your next step, into your future. Let others see the worship and the love that you have for me. Shine my girl shine. I love you more today than yesterday and more tomorrow than today. Sleep in peace tonight.

Receiving...
My prayer:
Mighty God, my prayer tonight is for friends, family, people around the world. God we all need you so much. We don't even begin to realize how deep our need for you is. God I pray that you touch the hearts of people around the world tonight, tomorrow, this weekend. I pray that they come to know and see you in a new way, a more real and personal way than ever before. I pray that they learn how to receive all the amazing promises that you have for them.
I thank you God for all that you are doing in my life. It is a really exciting time and I am so grateful to you! My trust and my love and my hope is in you. Guide me and direct me, never let me out of your sight God. Keep me on your path. Love, love, love you!
What God said tonight:
Tonight is special. We had to get past your barriers tonight to get to what I needed to say. Tonight is not about any specific need or any specific promise but tonight is about understanding the ability, the art of receiving.
I have so much for you and for all of your brothers and sisters but I can't get it to you if you won't receive it. I want to fulfill your prayer to every single person on this earth, but they won't receive it. There is a receiving problem in this world. There is also a giving problem at times but there is a receiving problem.
Who wouldn't want everlasting life? Apparently a fair number. I miss my children. I miss all of those that have chosen a different road. It breaks my heart to see them struggle lost and alone. It pains me to know that they are only one decision away from living the life that I have chosen for them.
It is time to get their attention. Don't be shy about sharing your love for me. Don't be shy about sharing my love for you. Let the world get a little jealous of that love. Maybe if they are jealous, they will want it enough for themselves to choose me and a life with me.
I yearn to have all of my family together again. I long to wrap my arms around the lost and say welcome home. Preach, share and love throughout the world that the lost can be found, that the hurting can be healed, that they unlovable can be loved. This is a serious assignment and I can't do it without you.
Be blessed and receive all that I have for you. Don't count yourself short, accept it all that you can live in my full blessing. I love you more than you know and want you to have everything that I have.

Insecurity...
My prayer:
El Shaddai, God of more than enough.
I'm having an attack of insecurity tonight in just about every area. You know this doesn't happen to me too often, but tonight...well, I just don't know. I don't want to talk too much about it because I know that can make it worse but I'm feeling really inadequate tonight.
You made me and you say I am fearfully and wonderfully made. You have said I am the head and not the tail. You have called me a royal priesthood. You have destined me to succeed. Against all of that, my "feeling" really shouldn't have any weight at all...but...if I'm honest, it does.
Does my life, the things of done, the people I have known really matter? Sometimes I think it would be really great to have a, "It's a Wonderful Life" experience where George gets to see what life would have been like if he hadn't been around. It would help to know that my life made a difference and has had an impact. People tell me it has, but then I wonder are they just trying to be nice and encourage me? Do they really mean it?
Wow, I am really having a little pity party for me tonight huh God. Maybe it's my birthday coming up. I always get reflective around my birthday and the new year. In my head, I know that you have been able to accomplish a lot through me during the last year, but in my heart, I feel like I just don't always have the right stuff.
Argg! I hate listening to myself tonight God! I know that I love you. I know that every good thing in my life, every good thing I have done is a direct result of you. I am making a decision right now to think about that and stop worrying about how I feel. Stop worrying what people think. The only thing that really matters is that you are my Lord, my savior and my father. You are my teacher and my healer. You are everything that I need. I don't need to be much because you are all.
What God said tonight:
Sweet daughter, stop beating up on yourself. Stop it. You deserve to be kinder to yourself. You are so patient with others. You have learned to give others all the space they need to grow and learn. Give yourself that same space.
You are my daughter and I love you right where you are. If you never did another thing in your life, I would not love you any less. Just rest a minute in my love and let it heal you. The world really beat up on you or maybe it was just you beating up on you, but now it's time to heal. Now it's time to rest. It doesn't do you, me or anyone else any good to get stuck in insecurity.
You know that you are my daughter with first son rights. Everything that belongs to Jesus belongs to you. Every promise in my Word belongs to you. Doesn't that show you how much your life is worth? Doesn't' that let you know how much I think of you?
You keep falling in the trap of basing your worth on performance. We have been here before and I am betting we will be here again. You know the answer, stop being a people pleaser and be a God pleaser. Look to me for your worth, not to people, not to what you can or can't accomplish. You will always be able to look at your accomplishments and see the things that you didn't do or didn't do well, if you want to. There will always be someone better, smarter, quicker and prettier for you to compare yourself to, if you want to. Do you want to? Does it do you, me or them any good? No, you know it doesn't.
Look at yourself in my mirror with my eyes. You are the best you I know. I made you unique to be and do exactly what you are being and doing. Do we still have things to do? Do you still have things in yourself to improve? Absolutely! We call that life! And life, as you know, is good.
I love you just as you are. Every freckle and every hair, every smile and every tear, I love you.
El Shaddai, God of more than enough.

Sweet daughter, stop beating up on yourself. Stop it. You deserve to be kinder to yourself. You are so patient with others. You have learned to give others all the space they need to grow and learn. Give yourself that same space.
You are my daughter and I love you right where you are. If you never did another thing in your life, I would not love you any less. Just rest a minute in my love and let it heal you. The world really beat up on you or maybe it was just you beating up on you, but now it's time to heal. Now it's time to rest. It doesn't do you, me or anyone else any good to get stuck in insecurity.
You know that you are my daughter with first son rights. Everything that belongs to Jesus belongs to you. Every promise in my Word belongs to you. Doesn't that show you how much your life is worth? Doesn't' that let you know how much I think of you?
You keep falling in the trap of basing your worth on performance. We have been here before and I am betting we will be here again. You know the answer, stop being a people pleaser and be a God pleaser. Look to me for your worth, not to people, not to what you can or can't accomplish. You will always be able to look at your accomplishments and see the things that you didn't do or didn't do well, if you want to. There will always be someone better, smarter, quicker and prettier for you to compare yourself to, if you want to. Do you want to? Does it do you, me or them any good? No, you know it doesn't.
Look at yourself in my mirror with my eyes. You are the best you I know. I made you unique to be and do exactly what you are being and doing. Do we still have things to do? Do you still have things in yourself to improve? Absolutely! We call that life! And life, as you know, is good.
I love you just as you are. Every freckle and every hair, every smile and every tear, I love you.
