Agape Love Works

Grace and Peace to all who read this,

First of all, I want to thank you all for your prayers and support. Your intercession has meant so much and it has helped me grow spiritually and stay focused on being a vessel to let the Lord do what He wants through us.

Secondly, I am compelled to write about how to ask the Lord to fight for you.

When you are choosing a righteous life, you will undergo a series of tests.
If you are growing spiritually, the Lord will prepare you for the tests through His Word. Similar to the physical realm- you go to school and read about a subject and then you are tested on it.

Now, our testings come in our day to day life, particularly with our interactions with others. It easy to be holy and righteous when you are alone in solitude, but when you are in society, in the workplace, at school, etc. this is where you will be stretched to mature and the testing process really begins.

How do you pass each test? When adversity comes, how can you ask the Lord to fight for you while you hold your peace?

Here are some basics that I have found. In Part 2, I will give Biblical scenarios to the following in a week or so (I am currently pressed for time). Here goes:

1. Submit your life to the Lord and His Will
2. If you have any sin/trangressions, repent and ask the Lord to help you
overcome them.
3. Read His Word and pray... then ACT on it... do what it says
4. When faced with adversity, ask the Lord to fight for you as you hold your peace. (see Exodus 14:14)

Continue to operate by the Fruits of the Spirit to others and you will see the Lord fight on your behalf. This works. Remember, to do your part after the above 4 steps by operating in the Fruits of the Spirit. (see Galatians 5:22-23). Do not speak ill of others. Bless them and forgive them. Find ways to love them when they rise against you. If you try to retaliate in your own strength and in the flesh you will lose your peace and righteousness. Hold your tongue against them and you will hold your peace.

Remember, whatever we reap, we shall sow. If you speak ill of others, they will speak ill of you. Bless others, and they will bless you. Love others and they will love you.

I pray you are growing in your spiritual journey as well and I speak a soft heart and ears that hear so this seed will bear fruit in your life.

Til next time,
Sis K.D.

Father God,

I lift you up and worship you, my King!
May you hear the prayers of your people.
May it be a sweet aroma to you, Lord.

Holy, Holy.... are you Lord.

We rest in knowing that you clear the path.
You part the waters and make a way.
Bless the Lord, O my soul
Bless the Lord, O my soul

We lift up our hands to you
Our voices rise as we give a shout
Bring down the walls as you did in Jericho

Send a fresh anointing to your forerunners
Expand our capacity, expand our territory
Keep us under your refuge
Lord of Hosts
You reign forever
Light our path
Lead us, King of Kings
We follow you, for you alone are worthy

Hallelujah
Holy, Holy are you Lord
There is none like you.
Shine, my Lord.
Let us rejoice in your presence.
Let us feel the weight of your glory.
You are welcome to have your way.

Every person that reads this...
Show them you are in control.
Give them peace.
Let them feel your love, Lord.
Light their paths and show them the way.

Thank you, Pappa...
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen.

Grace and peace upon you,

As some of you know, part of my ministry is in health, fasting and wellness.

When I first started scribing on the ministry's website, I mentioned the need to become vegetarian -- focusing mainly on raw foods-- and removing meat from my diet.

Today, I was lead to the following scriptures in the Bible:

Acts 10: 23-48, Acts 11: 1-18
Romans 14

I want to be sure that everyone understands that although it is a personal choice that I am making, it is not ideal for everyone and if we are going to become divided as a people about what to eat and what not to eat according to scriptures in the Old Testament vs. scriptures in the New Testament than we are in error. For we eat from faith and it is between us and God, not for us to pass judgment on others if they choose to eat meat. (see Romans 14)

A book I have been reading and highly recommend is Dr. Joseph Christiano's Bloodtypes, Bodytypes and You. I saw him on a Paula White show and eating according to your blood type and intuitive eating (listening and observing how your body/skin/hair reacts to certain foods) is the route I am taking.

Hopefully, these scriptures will bless some of you struggling with your diet and figuring out what to eat according to the Bible. Please be sure to avoid all silly confrontations with people who are ready to debate for hours about what we are suppose to be eating. Toss Romans 14 at them in a spirit of love and keep moving :)

Love you,
Sis K.D.

Grace and peace upon the Agape Love Works Intercessory Prayer Network...

As you know, I only write when under the influence of the Holy Spirit.
Today, I am called to send you this message about your very next step.

What is Your next step in life?

Yes, you have dreams... yes, you have goals... but what is your very next step towards living out your divine purpose?

Recently, I went through a season in the valley. There were a series of trials and tribulations and it lasted for so long I wondered if the Lord was going to see me through. Does this sound familiar? Have you, too, been through a season of hardship? Perhaps you have been having challenges at work, or trying to find a job in this recession. Perhaps you've had marital or relationship problems. Or, perhaps, you are just wondering what more is there to life?

When we submit our lives to the Lord, we know that He will see us through every trial, every tribulation. He will order our steps. The valley seasons are there to refine our character, to burn our flesh, to humble us, to quiet our soul and find rest in the Lord. We can try to build in our own strength, but eventually, we will find the works of our hands void of true happiness and fulfillment that only the Lord can provide.

When you spend quiet time in the Secret Place.. that place in your home where you pray and spend time with the Lord... ask Him to shed light on your situation. Declare "Let there be light!" and ask the Lord to order your steps. Ask Him "Father, what is the solution to this problem? What is the very next step out of this?" And then patiently wait to hear from Him. He will answer you. He will guide your path in this journey.

Let us pray.

Father God,

We humble ourselves before you.
Forgive us for running ahead of you.
Forgive us for magnifying our problems instead of magnifying you.
We plead the blood of Jesus Christ over us, over our families, over our homes, over our finances, over our church family.
Strengthen your saints, Father God and lead us into all truth.
We bow before your throne and we humble ourselves before you.

You are magnificent and we know that you have plans to prosper us and not to harm us, to give us a hope and a future.
Father God, shed light on the lessons to be learned in the valley.
Shed light on our path so that we may keep our eyes on you and the path you wish for us to take.
Give us strength in this economy to overcome and be a light for the lost in this world.
Fill us with the Holy Spirit with fresh fire!
Fill us with fresh oil!
Enlarge our vessel and fill us with a fresh anointing so that our cup runneth over.

You get the glory!
You get the honor!
You get the praise!

I speak favor over the Agape Love Works Intercessory Prayer Network!
I speak divine wisdom over the Agape Love Works Intercessory Prayer Network!
I speak peace over this group and I loose angels around us in the name of Jesus Christ.
I speak life into the valleys of dry bones where you have placed us to minister.
Let your living water flow from us, Father God. From our bellies, let your living water flow!

No weapon formed against us shall prosper!
Your sheep shall know their shepherd.
You are our shepherd.
And we thank you for leading us and guiding us into Your Truth, Your Will and Your Land you have promised us and our forefathers to this day.

We receive your fresh anointing.
We receive your direction, your instruction.
We are your faithful remnant, Father God and we love you.
You reign forever and ever...

In Jesus name we pray,
Amen.
