It's almost hard for me to believe that my husband, Dave, and I have been married for over 50 years. When I look back, I am still amazed at what the Lord has done in our relationship and just how far we've come. I will never forget the day we first met. One evening I was outside washing my mother's car, when Dave pulled up in front of the house with his friend who lived upstairs. Trying to flirt with me, he leaned out his window and said, "When you're finished with that car, would you like to wash mine?" I sarcastically snapped back, "If you want your car washed, buddy, then wash it yourself!"
My child, pay attention to what I say. Listen carefully to my words. Don't lose sight of them. Let them penetrate deep into your heart, for they bring life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body. Proverbs 4:20–22 NLT We all want to live victorious, overcoming lives. And to live right, we need to believe right. But Pastor Prince, how do I begin to believe right? Hearing plays a huge part in right believing. You cannot believe right unless you are hearing right. Man, that was good! I don't want you to miss that.
There is a new breed of women rising on the earth. A new company of women brave hearts are emerging who carry an authority not given by man, but gained through personal victories. These women have already been tested by the Pharisees of religion and been confronted by the seductions of the snake. They have already faced the powers of the age and have overcome. Most have remained unseen by the masses because they never sought the spotlight. They have been quietly exercising their spiritual muscle in the secret place and overcoming devils with an audience of one.
For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. Psalm 91:11 NIV The Lord is releasing angel armies and heavenly hosts to help you! This is a time of major change, and this help is needed to bring things into place. Here he comes! The Commander! The mighty Lord of Angel Armies is on our side! The God of Jacob fights for us! Psalm 46:7 TPT There is something shifting starting in July as the Lord is bringing new angelic assignments and the release of warring angels over individuals, churches, businesses, cities and regions to help break the clouds of obscurity. Expect to get greater clarity into your situation. The enemy has overplayed his hand and over-attacked us, and the Lord is now moving at the right time to bring things into place.
If you are not familiar with the phrase, let me explain to you exactly what a core value is. Core values are the fundamental beliefs of a person. These guiding principles often dictate behavior and also help the person to understand the difference between right and wrong ... good and bad ... purposeful and wasteful ... valuable and worthless. Your core values, when used as a moral map, can help determine whether or not you are on the right path in life. So let me ask you again: What are your core values in life? Do you have any at all? Now that I have explained what a core value is, let me give you an example.
I was in a time of prayer recently when the Lord began to speak to me about becoming a voice. I believe this word was not just for me but for many in the body of Christ in this hour. As the Lord spoke to me about becoming a voice, He revealed to me that our voice is not just about our words, but also about the influence God has given each of us. You may never preach or teach for the people God has placed in your realm of influence; your voice may be the way you carry yourself and how you live your life.
I used to wreck every family vacation with spiritual warfare, until I learned to live out of the THIRD HEAVEN! I would spend all my time fighting territorial spirits, principalities and demonic entities. As a young person I had a very intuitive, discerning spirit. Because of that I could feel everything in the spirit realm. I lived under a constant sense of spiritual warfare. I was always having to rebuke oppression off of myself. This battle became very wearisome. I was operating in a genuine gift of discernment, but my focus had become so demonic that I lived in constant spiritual warfare. Then one day God made a statement to me.
The Lord has said in His Word that we are to come boldly before His Throne! The blood of Jesus gives us full access. Nevertheless, this does not allow us to come in arrogance. We come dressed in the mantle of humility in the Royal robes of Salvation and Righteousness. Arrogance and religion have no place at the Throne. Pride does not exist in God, cannot exist in heaven, or at the Throne. God wants His Body to get clean, get dressed, and get ready to dwell in Glory, to be granted full access to the Throne room. When Joseph was summoned to go before Pharaoh, he washed and put clean garments on.
I have had a private "prayer language" since I was 18 years old. No one taught me how to pray in tongues. I was raised in a church that didn't teach about the spiritual gifts mentioned in the New Testament. In fact, the first person I ever heard speaking in tongues was me, at the moment Jesus baptized me in the Holy Spirit. I don't think of myself as superior to anyone because I have this gift. Most people have never heard me pray in tongues because I do it in my private devotional time. But because I've written about it and preach about it often, some people have questioned it or even accused me of promoting false teaching.
Fear is "false evidence appearing real." Though this is often true, there are times we are and should be afraid, such as when a lion is breathing down our necks! God designed a built-in mechanism for those times called the fight-or-flight response, also known as the acute stress response. This is the response our body has when we are afraid, whether it is a real or perceived fear. Our bodies will release hormones to help us deal with the issue or to run away to safety. We will feel our hearts racing, our breathing increase and blood rushing to our limbs. The blood flows from our veins to our extremities to get us out of danger. When this happens, we aren't thinking; we are just getting out of the situation ... and fast! Then we return to normal.
