The History: A couple of years ago, I started journaling my prayers and God's responses to them. I told my friends about this, they were really interested. I told my Pastor about it and he said, how about sharing those on line. When I asked God, He said, my words are for you, but not just for you. And, here we are...I hope He speaks to you in these words.
My prayer:
God you are good. Every worry, every concern, every illness, every thing, I can bring to you and see you take care of it. You are so good to me. You are so good to us! I feel so incredibly honored that I get to come to you and that you are always there, always willing to listen, always available to help.
God you are awesome! I love you, I thank you, and I want to bless you God now and forever. What can I do that would bless you? Not as a payback but because I want you to be blessed. You bless me so much and I want you to be blessed. How can I bless you God?
What God Said Tonight:
A blessing is only meaningful if it comes from the heart. That you want to bless me, and that it comes from the heart is already a blessing to me.
You don't have to do anything for me. I am blessed by your heart and I am blessed by your worship. I am blessed by these times that we spend together. I am blessed by our faithfulness. I am blessed that you take time every day to get quiet and listen to me. I am blessed that you do not forget, you do not let the business of life get in the way. I am blessed by your willingness to say yes.
I love you my sweet daughter and I am blessed by you and by our brothers and sisters who strive to know me every day. I am blessed by every person who has made a decision to live with me forever. I am blessed by every person who shares their story of how they came to know me. I am blessed by you.
Receive a spiritual hug tonight my sweet and know that you have already blessed me.
My prayer:
Awesome God. I don't want to listen to me tonight. I have done nothing but complain inside my head today and I am sick of me. I want to hear what you have to say.
What God Said Tonight:
I love stained glass. When you are inside, it doesn't matter what it is like on the outside, as soon as the light hits the window, there is a beautiful reflection that shines in. From the outside, it makes a beautiful picture but hides what is happening inside.
I am your stained glass if you will allow me to be. I can can shade everything so it is beautiful in your life. No matter what it looks like. I can be your shield so that you are protected and what people see is me. People will see the beauty of me no matter what is happening with you.
I love you daughter and I know that today was a little rough. Remember on days like this to look to me. Look up and I will filter the beautiful light on you. You will see that things aren't so bad when you look at them through me. I love you.
My prayer:
Prince of Peace. There is such peace and such rest in your presence God. i am resting in your presence tonight. Sometimes your presence is powerful and changes things, it heals, it teaches, it fights the battle against evil. But, sometimes, times like tonight, your presence is just so peaceful and sweet.
My awesome God you are my place of peace and rest. I feel you lifting every burden and I am so grateful God. I just want to stay right here all night.
What God Said Tonight:
I want you to stay right here forever. I want you to experience my peace, my rest, all of the time. I want you to let me lift your burdens all of the time. I want to be with you all of the time and I want you to be aware of me all of the time.
I want us to live this life together, all of it. I don''t want you to hide from me. I don't want you to hide anything from me, even the things you think I wont like. Those are the things we need most to talk about. I love all of you and I want all of you.
Stay with me and I will give you peace. Let me into the secret places and I will heal and restore. I am yours, be mine forever.
My prayer:
Awesome God. I have a burning desire in my heart tonight. I can't stop thinking about it. God, I want every person on the earth to get the opportunity to experience your amazing presence. Not just hear about you. Not just learn about you. Not just pray in faith. But, I want everyone to have the chance to experience you love, your power, your presence and be changed by it.
God, there is nothing like your presence. I know we always talk about preaching the gospel in every corner of the earth and when that has happened, rapture. But, this thing that I have been feeling all day is a little different. I want people everywhere to get the opportunity to experience that free and amazing worship that we had last night. I want them to come to expect you to show up. I want them to come to expect your promises to come true in their lives. I want them to know you, really know you.
What can I do? How can I help?
What God Said Tonight:
Well my dear, I asked to you to look into your heart and ask for your heart's desire. Looks like you have. I love this one too. I want to be present and real in the lives of every one of my children here on earth. I want to show them my power. I want them to experience my love which is so great for them. I want all of those things very much too.
We have one thing that is stopping it. People have their own will. I will not bust into someone's life who hasn't invited me. But, for everyone who is ready, for everyone who is willing to let me in, I am here, ready and willing. I will get as close as they will allow.
I am showing you the big crowd worship that I have shown you before. You know the one. Thousands of people, outside, it goes on for days. Miracles, joy, love, power and healing. That is a real time and a real place you will see it in your lifetime. You will see my power covering thousands at a time. You will see healing wash like a wave over crowds. You will see people worshiping in spirit and in truth with freedom and joy. You will see it.
I will give you this and anything else that is burning in your heart. I love you daughter. Keep dreaming and I will keep providing.
My prayer:
Mmmm, My God, I am without words. A beautiful night of worship with you and with your people. A night of miracle healing. A night of your anointing flowing and moving in brand new ways. A night of prophecy and renewed hope. A night of filling up with your strength. Thank you. That is a very inadequate response God, but thank you. You filled my heart, mind, soul, and spirit tonight and I am resting in your arms in peace and joy.
What God Said Tonight:
You mustn't thank me for nights like tonight. You must understand that nights like tonight, when you get together in pure worship of me, believing that I can and will do anything, when you love each other, when you worship in spirit and in truth, when you welcome my Holy Spirit in, when you do everything I ask even when it doesn't make sense, those are nights that bless me as much or more than they do you.
You, all of you, were a blessing to me tonight. You were a balm of joy to my Spirit. You were an encouragement to my soul. You were a ray of hope in darkness.
I love you daughter and I love these nights when you get together and truly focus on me. Rest in this place of joy and peace that you created by inviting me in and worshiping me in spirit and in truth. I will remain with you.
My Prayer:
What an amazing revelation tonight God through Bill Johnson. You really do care about what we want. You really do want to give me the desires of my heart. Not just the desires that I want because I love you and I want the things that you want but also, the things that I simply want.
The temple in Jerusalem was built not because you wanted it but because of the desire of King David's heart. You chose a man to be king over your people. David is the one who wanted a physical home for you. If he hadn't wanted it, you may never have asked for more than the tent. That is amazing! Something as big as the temple that has effected so many lives been involved in so much conflict and so much power only exists because you wanted to give your child the desires of his heart. That is really amazing to me.
I am going to have to really think about this God.
What God Said Tonight:
You are getting it. You are not quite there but you are getting it. I want you to want and to desire. I want to give to you.
You have not because you ask not. I said that I meant it.
Why do you think you are having such trouble with the personal prayer/big wish list for your group? You pray for others. You pray for my will to be done. Those are both great things to pray for. Now, pray for yourself. Look deep in your heart and ask me for what you most desire. Not the things that you think you want because of other people. Not things that you see other with and you covet. But, look deep in your heart and ask me for what you find there.
Don't be afraid. I will not disappoint. But look deep and be sure of what you ask. I will give you what you ask for, so be careful.
My prayer:
Awesome, conqueror God. I think this season that I am in is about taking authority that you have given to me and standing in faith that what you say is truth, even when it comes to my own body. Literally commanding the natural to come into obedience with your truth God.
Thank you for what you are teaching me God. Is not easy, but even in the middle of it, I can see the benefit. Thank you God for loving me enough to not leave me where I am but to teach me and help me grow. I am yours forever God.
What God Said Tonight:
Are you up for this next season? Are you really up for all that I have for you? This next season is going to be more than you can imagine.
There are blessings and curses and you will have to rightly choose. There is life and death and you must rightly choose. This next season will have many turns, many decisions. You will follow me and use all that you have learned. You will see great danger but you will see great glory. There is so much that I want to show you, so much that I want to do with you. There is so much. Are you ready?
I am giving you the choice. I will not force you, especially in this. I will only take you as far as you want to go. I can promise great joy, great blessing. But, I can guarantee great struggle and danger. Can you trust me enough in the danger?
When you are ready, make your choice. It will be the first of many. Choose wisely.
