Covenant Renewal Prayer


Prayer from the book: Covenant Sisterhood Embracing Heaven's Divine Connections

Father God, we come before you humbling our hearts and aligning our minds with you and your divine will.  We ask that you first create in us a clean heart and purify us that we may be vessels unto honor and meet for the master’s use.  We cast down our cares and lay them down at the feet of Jesus.  We repent of holding bitterness, strife, envy, jealousy and anger in the crevices of our hearts.  We ask that you would forgive us for allowing offenses to take our focus off of you and what you have purposed for us to do.  May we recognize the enemy for who he really is. 

May our eyes be open to see through your eyes and with your perspective.  May our way of thinking be elevated above every circumstance and every problem we come against.  May our hearts become pure before you as we work together to see your will performed in the earth. Not our will, but your will be done in the earth as it has already been firmly established in heaven. May your purpose be continually revealed as we seek you daily for instruction and wisdom.  May our hearts burn with passion to complete what you have begun in us. 

Father God, we thank you for reminding us of what true covenant relationships represent, and we honor you for bringing us to and strategically setting up those divine connections that can only come from you. Revive, restore and renew those covenant relationships we walked away from prematurely. Forgive us for breaking confidence and covenant with the sisters you had divinely connected us to. May we recognize and understand that these relationships are not about us but are about fulfilling your purpose in the earth.

May we walk in love and treat our covenant sisters with honor, dignity and respect.  May we walk in integrity and in peace with those who you have divinely connected us to. And, Father God, we ask that you will bless our covenant relationships with your mercy, grace and power.  

We honor you now for all that you have done, and for all you will do through our submitted and committed vessels. Thank you for the grace to finish the course that has been set before us.  Thank you for the opportunity and privilege to represent you as kingdom ambassadors.  We will not be ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ for we will walk in holy boldness to bring both glory and honor to your mighty name. 

May the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts be pleasing and acceptable in your sight; O God, our Lord, and our redeemer, in Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Spiritual Double Agents


On last year during a time of prayer the word double agent came up in my spirit. As I pressed though in intercession to get revelation of what was being revealed, I began to feel an intense sadness in my spirit as I prayed for and covered those within the Body of Christ who had become innocent victims of this ongoing issue. Just a few days ago, the word came back and after being confirmed I am now commissioned in the dawn of this beautiful morning to scribe what is on the Father’s heart. 

Since the beginning of the history many have posed as double agents whether they knew it or not. In fact as we go back through both the Old and New Testaments we will see where men and even women have acted as double agents to obtain not only information but also favor and blessings from others and God. Many of these biblical examples include people like Saul and his relationship with young David, King David and the story of Uriah the Hittite, Tamar, the daughter in law of Judah, those who connected and followed after JESUS, the story of Simon the sorcerer and lastly the story of the young woman who followed after Paul and Silas in the book of Acts.

As we go to Merriam Webster’s dictionary we will see the meaning of the word double agent and what it is described as:

“A spy pretending to serve one government while actually serving another.”  

        As we dig deeper for more understanding, we go back to check the meaning of what an agent represents to get the fullness of what the term double agent truly means.  The word agent is described as:

“One that acts or exerts power, something that produces or is capable of producing an effect: an active or efficient cause, one who is authorized to act for or in the place of another. And lastly, one engaged in undercover activities (as espionage): spy <secret agent>.”

          You may ask, why is this so important especially during this time and where do I fit in this equation? In just a few moments you will have a greater understanding as to why it is extremely important for you and those divinely connected to you to know this truth.

In this past year the word concerning covenant relationships rang throughout the Body of Christ as the Father brought forth clarity, wisdom and instruction on how these divine relationships were to operate. This realignment was birthed forth to reveal true kingdom relationships and to produce in the earth what was on the heart of the Father. As these new covenant relationships began to blossom many who were not pleased with these new relationships began to desire what could only come from relationships which God had personally brought together.

Instead of letting God hook up the divine connections for them, there was an increase of people who began to connect with those who they thought could take them where they desired or wanted to go. What’s interesting to note about these types of relationships is that many knew on the front end that they did not have the heart of the Father concerning those they desired to be connected with.  And when their impure motives and agendas were revealed, many became bitter and sought to sabotage the character of those they once desired to be connected to. If it had not been for the abundant grace and protection of God, many kingdom assignments would have been hindered or destroyed.

A spiritual double agent as downloaded to me, is a person who is in relationship with you who connects, but their heart and devotion is not to walk in agreement with God’s plans for your life. Their purpose is only to use you to achieve and promote their own personal agenda. Now is a better  time than any to seek out God as to those connected to you who have truly been sent by Him and to know if those who cling to you like dust mites clinging to the bottom of a dust mop are truly legit or just serving as spiritual double agents.

In this season as the things which you have prayed for over the years begin to  manifest and come to quick fruition; continue to stay alert and put on your armor daily as you take care of your assigned Kingdom business. Keep and maintain your focus and check yourself daily to be sure your love walk is for real.

This message is by no means to startle or alarm you but is used to help keep you in the spiritual loop concerning the heart of the Father. The word of God tells us in 1 Peter 5:8 that we are to “Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” The enemy can only devour those who are not prepared and walking in fear. 1 John 4:18 tells us “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.”  So in other words, we must continue to walk in love with others including those who have come into our lives undercover as spiritual double agents. 

As our love walk is renewed and strengthen, and as we began to pray for those connecting to us with the wrong agenda, we are allowing an opportunity for the love of God to draw them back to the Father’s heart so that real transformation can take place within their hearts and minds. When this process happens, a two fold victory occurs. The kingdom of God becomes blessed beyond measure because we are able to complete our kingdom assignments, and God the Father is glorified as another soul experiences His awesome love, deliverance and restoration.


Blessings,

Prayer of Salvation
I repent of all of my sins and right now I do confess that Jesus is the Son of God and that He died for the remission of my sins. I believe that Jesus died and was buried and rose again, and is now seated at the right hand of God in Heaven. I receive Him now as Lord of my life and I now commit to serve him for the rest of my days.

It’s in Jesus’ name I do pray, Amen.

If you have just prayed this prayer and want more information about beginning your new life as a Christian, please write us, we will be happy to send you a free booklet.

Are you connected to the Body of Christ?

A clique (pronounced /ˈkliːk/, also /ˈklɪk/ (U.S.)) is an exclusive group of people who share common interests, views, purposes, patterns of behavior, or ethnicity.[1] A clique as a reference group can be either normative or comparative. Membership in a clique is typically exclusive, and qualifications for membership may be social or essential to the nature of the clique. (Info taken from Wikipedia)

On yesterday evening Father placed within my heart to pray & intercede for every person who has ever been rejected, separated, pushed aside or discounted by people who said that they had no value when it  came to ministry in the Kingdom of God. As I prayed my heart went back to all of the times when I have personally been cast out so to speak from people who rejected me because I did not fit into their mold or way of doing things because I was seen as different or peculiar. This past Sunday my Apostle and Pastor taught an awesome message  about people who have been thrown into a pit by other people. I rejoiced because I had been there in that place many times before, too many to even name.

Looking back over the 30 years that I have worked in ministry (from singing in the youth choir at age 15 to serving at a local Nashville nursing home) I have seen many cliques formed. When cliques are in full operation, you will begin to see an increase in wounded and rejected people within the church because the sole purpose of a clique is separation.  If you are part of a ministry group and you begin to notice that mini-sub groups are being formed within that ministry where only a select few are offered admittance than you are seeing a clique in action. Mind you, I am not talking about cell groups or ministry within a church setting, because these are bilibical (see Acts 2) What is on the heart of the Father today is concern for those who operate or participate in the gathering of cliques within the Body of Christ. These are not biblical nor do they serve or benefit a  kingdom purpose.

The Body of Christ was officially established in the book of Acts chapter 2 when those assembled in the upper room were together in one place and on one accord. In Acts 2: 42-47, it details how the body of believers operated. "They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." They were blessed beyond measure because they were connected to the Body of Christ.

So if you find yourself connected to a sub-group within the body of Christ and it's sole purpose is to scatter and not gather then you are operating contrary to true kingdom purpose. The word of God in Luke 11:23 says "He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me, scatters."

Know that God loves each and every one of his children and He is not a respector of persons. His desire to have relationship and fellowship with all of His children including the ones who have been cast to the side and rejected. Ask the Lord to forgive, heal and restore you on today if you have taken part in any cliques, know that He is waiting with out stretched loving arms to receive you back into the fold.
