Hello friends. Halloween is coming up. I’ve seeing many Halloween influences already in September. In this holiday of death and occultism, we must gear up daily in our spiritual armor and pray in the spirit too. I pray with my gift of tongues when I sense danger. I call my supernatural prayer language – my “spider sense” (like in the Spider man movies where Peter’s senses start tingling when danger is near and imminent.) I don’t usually pray much in my supernatural prayer language until October comes. But this year, I’m already sensing more dangers in September by how much I am praying with my supernatural prayer language. Let us make more time for prayer, even if we sleep less. During battle times, soldiers sleep less. It is what it is. 

Before the pandemic, our prayer group and the moms-in-prayer group met in person. Our group consolidated and pivoted to teleconference upon the lockdown. Now I feel strongly that we need to get back to praying in-person as much as possible. My goal is to pray at my church every Wednesdays. Besides the prayer and intercession work, there is great conversation that happens afterwards. We share our stories and also personal needs for prayer and intercession. In a big church like mine, there are also many stories of victories. Therefore it’s a great place for networking for God’s people to hear these stories and for newer believers to learn how to overcome their own struggles in life and relationships. You will not get these stories and shortcuts by attending only church services on Sundays. A pastor or guest speaker will teach biblical concepts and Bible characters; but when you are going through your spiritual warfare or a great life challenge, you will need testimonies and prayers from those nearby you to win. 

I had this dream about two weeks ago. Since I rarely remember my dreams and this dream isn’t escaping my mind; I believe it’s a dream message to me from God. 

Hello friends. I’m a very safety-minded person. Because of my inclination for safety, I keep alert on what I can do to protect myself and my loved ones. I’ve learned that the highest form of protection in this world is by our prayers through Jesus Christ. Praying corporately is even more effective and powerful than praying solo. That’s why I am so disciplined about organizing corporate prayer meetings. 

Hello friends. Tonight, I couldn’t sleep and when I was woken up around 2:30am and I couldn’t go back to sleep, I have learned to get out of bed and seek out God on why. Usually, it’s to intercede for someone or for an emergency somewhere. Today it was for my correction! I was under great conviction regarding my lack of self-control over my words recently. I thank the Lord Jesus for his blessing of correction! I realized that I have been agreeing with the devil rather than God’s words when I was conversing with people. I have repented over this sin and want to share key insights with you so that you will not make the grave mistakes that I made recently. 

Many families are dropping off their precious children to colleges this week. I hope these articles bless you to trust God with your children and to pray diligently for them. Prayers matter tremendously and so DO NOT allow the enemy to take away your faith in prayer. If you need help with your faith then please go to a corporate prayer meeting for the sake of your children and grandchildren. You can also increase your faith by reading the Bible, listening to good sermons and testimonies. As I reflect upon my younger years and even today, if someone would ask me what I’d like; I’d would ask for prayers to God through the name of Jesus Christ.

When I was commissioned by the Lord to start the women’s prayer group in 2016, I had little idea what I was supposed to do and what corporate prayer was all about. I also know why God didn’t allow me to have a co-leader despite my asking for the first two years. He knew that I would try to push the leadership responsibilities to my co-leader. He also knew that I wouldn’t take this work seriously during stressful times since it was a volunteer position after-all, from an earthly point of view. And I was still seeing many things from an earthly point of view and was very immature in my faith.

Hello friends. I was talking with a friend about Max Lucado and how much we love his books and teachings. He wrote many, many books. He just wrote a new book about the end times. As I was listening to his interview inCarey Nieuwhof’s podcast I was very surprised how open he was about his life, ministry challenges and his wife’s battle with depression. He also transitioned out of being the lead pastor of his mega church and talked about that challenge too. 

Hello friends. I am led to share with you Joyce Meyer’s book, Battlefield of the Mind. I have learned a lot from her. Growing up, her family was messed up BIG TIME. Her father was not only verbally abusive but he even sexually molested her regularly once she turned 13 years old. Her mom was so controlled by her husband that she turned the blind eye all through the years of abuse. Joyce Meyer was able to stop her father’s sick abuse once she left her parents’ home at age 18. She grew up at a time when people kept these kinds of family secrets within themselves.
