God created us in his image. He spoke the world into existence. With our tongue we speak life or death and create our world . God brought Ezekiel to a valley filled with dry bones. God told him to prophesy to the bones and they would come to life. Ezekiel spoke as the Lord told him to and the bones became a great army. In the same way, we can speak to the parts of us that are dead and dry and they will come to life once again. Speak life to the dead promises in your life and see them come to life. Jesus came to give us abundant life. Agree and speak abundant overflowing life to those dead places and watch them come to vibrant life!
So God created human beings in his own image.
In the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:27 NLT)
Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to these bones and say, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Look! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again! I will put flesh and muscles on you and cover you with skin. I will put breath into you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’” (Ezekiel 37:4-6 NLT)

Financial prosperity, isn’t always the evidence of true spirituality, but love and mercy is. How much love and mercy do you have for those who don’t have it for you? Many in the church are on spiritual welfare, because of our deficiency of pure love and mercy, in manifestation.

What you say, is what you sow.
What you sow is what you reap.
Your harvest comes from your mouth.
Plantings of life or death in your speech.
What you think about you bring to pass.
You express what your heart births in thoughts.
Words bless or curse, producing good or bad fruit.
Your mouth – a most powerful weapon for good or evil.
Don’t be misled–you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. (Galatians 6:7 NLT)
May my words and my thoughts be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my sheltering rock and my redeemer. (Psalm 19:14 NET)

Sometimes it takes many years, for individuals, to realize what they were looking for in others, they actually had within themselves, all along. How they were trying to submit to someone who was less mature than them. How they were compromising who they were, to only fulfill whom someone else was.

God has given us his Word, to read and put it into practice in our lives. It can save our lives and give us abundant life. If we pay attention and obey, blessings from God will flow to us. He doesn’t want us to merely acquire knowledge but to get low to the ground, teachable, allowing it to correct our direction and change, leading us into true freedom. The Word applied makes your life poetry that blesses others.
So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls. But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it. (James 1:21-25 NLT)

Is your worship what God requires
Are their flames in your heart burning for Christ
Are you singing what he wants to hear
Or what’s familiar or popular in your ears
Did you know that worship
Is more than a performance
But how we love The Lord
In unity and harmony
How we treat each other
Our sister and our brother
Is a reflection of our praise
and our worship
We need true repentance for true deliverance
and forgive as Christ has forgiven us
Worship is a lifestyle
not a formality
Let’s give God
All the Glory
So I will give you all my worship
I will give you all my praise
You alone I love to worship
You alone are all my praise

Our battles do not get won by our own strength, cleverness or intelligence but by trusting and obeying Yahweh’s instructions. The nation of Judah had three nations invade their nation. Judah listened and obeyed what the prophet of Yahweh God said. Judah did not come with the normal weapons, but had singers going in front, towards the enemy, praising God. The enemies turned on themselves and killed each other.
Judah prospered and was successful due to their obedient faith in the Word of Yahweh. This is also, true for us today.
They rose early in the morning and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa; and when they went out, Jehoshaphat (king of Judah) stood and said, “Listen to me (hear attentively and obey), O Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, put your trust, faith, belief, and confidence in Yahweh your God and you will be established, like pillars supporting a door. Put your trust, believe, be faithful, stand firm, in His prophets and succeed, prosper, and advance.” (2 Chronicles 20:20)

You are coming into your own. You are emerging from the bud to blossom. For I AM transforming you by the rays of My Glory. I love you, for who you really are.
Aureate (gilded, golden color). I love you, just the way you are. Gold. You are crossing over to your promised land. Similar, to the metamorphosis of the butterfly , which evolved from the caterpillar , God’s love transforms us. However, the transformation is not so much, changing you into someone else, but rather, UNCOVERING WHO YOU REALLY ARE.
The Love, the Father has for you, is so revolutionary. His Love causes you to see yourself, as “priceless gold,” in lieu of the “cheap lead,” you once thought.
