Chinese Ministry

Well it certainly has been a long time! It is now the fourth year of being a FMA student at IHOPU.  Its been fast paced then slow, then back and forth again.

Chinese Ministry

The Lord has been doing something very interesting in my life. I have been surrounded by asians, and I am loving it. There has been this unique connection and joy as people have come all around the world to IHOP-KC. 

Chinese team:   

At IHOP-KC there is a wonderful place called the All Nations Prayer Room. There are sets led in many different languages- chinese, russian, portuguese, korean, german, farsi and arabic. They pray and sing the Word, and I have been blessed to be a part of the Chinese team as a group singer (the girl in the back). I am currently learning the language (mandarin) and its exciting to hear words and learn words about God and His glory and the love for Him that these ones have. Below is one of the sets we have done. 

Chinese language:

I have been taking mandarin lessons on my own (through Pimsleur) and now I have a conversation friend who actually was a teacher of mandarin before she came to IHOP. Her name is Yehong, and she calls me her daughter. Its been a lot of fun for both of us as we get excited when we are able to communicate! (We are both still learning) Run is our translator.

 There is now a Forerunner School of Ministry International which consists of mostly chinese/korean speaking students. All the classes are in chinese or korean and many of the students are still learning english! What an immersive adventure for them! 

Chinese songs- Nikki and Angela

Classes:

I have just finished Biblical Hermeneutics,  hermeneutic |ˌhərməˈn(y)oōtik|

adjectiveconcerning interpretation, esp. of the Bible or literary texts.It was a very good class to take in learning the ways of interpreting scripture correctly, and the ways of interpreting it incorrectly.  I am still learning the ways of inductive Bible study, but it is exciting see how one can go deeper in the word than I had previous knowledge of.
I also am in an Advanced Theory music class. There are only 4 of us in the class, so we get to decide the direction of where we go. Its nice! Its a class with my friends whom I love and its fun and I'm discovering there is so much to music, there is so much I don't know.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is a great holiday. Not only do we get together with friends and family, but we EAT! But really,
I love that in America, in the busy-oriented country, the whole nation stops to 'give thanks'. Though many in this nation do not know God, there is a holiday where we realize that what we have has been given to us; we are to be thankful. This thanksgiving I have been so blessed to be able to spend with my Aunt and Uncle and cousins in St. Louis. There is nothing like being with family! It has been very nice, and they have given me a lot to realize to be thankful for. I am so thankful that I have a car to have driven there, I am so happy and thankful that my family and I are not estranged from eachother. I am so thankful that God sees my every needsand uses my family to bless me. Though they may not realize it.
Being away from IHOP also made me thankful:
I am thankful, so thankful for the Prayer Room. I am thankful for the culture of honor that is being made there/ I am so thankful for my friends at IHOP that love the Lord and we can have fun without messing our bodies up with substances or with 'the ways of this world'. God is so good in giving me everything I need and giving me LOVE. I may not understand a lot of things, and I open my mouth to quickly a lot of times, but God still loves me with kindness, patience, and an everlasting love. What more can I ask for?

Back to School

Supernatural Provision

I'm reading this book called, "Supernatural Provision" by Mark Hendrickson. This is a quote from the book:
" Immersing ourselves in God's Word and spending time with Him creates the atmosphere for our hearts to be changed and our thoughts to be realigned into the conformance of heaven."

I'm preparing to lead worship at a youth camp I'm wondering if this works corporately. I know individually for sure. My thoughts are if one person were to do this, could that change the atmosphere at a camp? Imagine in a camp setting if the kids get immersed in God's word and spend time with Him, oh it gets me really excited. I pray for this to happen. That at the camp heaven would come to the camp for those 5 days.  There will be a quiet time slot alloted for the kids, so hopefully that is when they will spend time with God. And I know the guy bringing the messages is all about the Word of God. Really looking forward to this camp!


  
Anyways here are some study questions from the book:

Matthew 6:25-34

New King James Version (NKJV)

²⁵ “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? ²⁶ Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?²⁷ Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
²⁸ “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; ²⁹ and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. ³⁰ Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
³¹ “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ ³² For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. ³³ But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. ³⁴ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

The predicating factor in order for me to enjoy Heaven's provision, according to Matthew 6:33, is seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. 

The First Commandment in Moses' day was "You shall have no other gods before Me." Exodus 20. What Jesus said was the first and greatest commandment was "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ Matt 22:37 

Have you made it your first commandment?

They are the same. If you love God with everything you have then there will be no other gods in the picture. Writing honestly, I have some things that need to be displaced. And I'm sure God is toppling them down even now, I know He's started on certain things in my life. God help us to love only You with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Awaken love in us and remove everything that hinders love!

"So what does "seek first" look like in a person's life?"

First thought that comes to mind is make it a priority. 

The author writes about walking and experiencing the favor of God like in the OT. I have never thought about that. I feel like they also experienced times when they didn't have God's favor... What would that be like? Well, we have the Holy Spirit! That is pretty huge! I want to walk in God's favor!! 

"So the question is, Are we living at least at the level of the OT saints with God's sovereign and supernatural displays of provision, protection, and direction?"

Does it translate over?!? YES! 

I've gotten to see people experience God's supernatural provision, I have myself. I think perhaps something to clarify is the word 'supernatural', at the beginning I thought it meant spontaneous, or instant, or out of the blue.  But God takes care of us every day, and it crazy to think that God would do that anyways. He has done more than I have seen in taking care of me. But it does increase my faith when I hear testimonies of how God provided when there seemed to be no way. But also encouraging is seeing how God is faithful day after day to provide daily bread. That is still God at work. The Bible describes Him as faithful, why should I doubt the Word of God. He gave His Word. 

The book is thought provoking and I'm not sure I fully even understand what he is always saying. 

I'm realizing why I got the book in the first place- I got the book hoping for some kind of get money quick scheme, I had to repent of that. My family is going through a fairly rough financial time, and I was concerned. But God has been reminding me and showing me that He is my good Shepherd, who never lets me down.

Jesus, I joyfully accept your provision in my life! THANK YOU SO MUCH! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! 

Lord give us eyes to see your provision in our lives, and help us walk out joyfully in your gifts to us! Amen!

Israel and the Church in the End Times

Hey there!
This coming weekend at IHOP-KC there is a great conference coming up! It's called Israel and the Church in the End Times. click here for more info:

http://www.ihop.org/endtimes/

You can watch it on the webstream for FREE! It is totally worth it! I went to the conference last year and my mind was blown! I personally had not thought very much of Israel before coming to IHOP and didn't understand what significance they play in Jesus return. Very thought provoking, encouraging, and you should watch it!
Here is an excerpt from the webpage. There is also a video posted there; Mike Bickle talks more about the conference.

Dates: May 17–20, 2012
Speakers: Mike Bickle, Allen Hood, Wes Hall, and others
Guest Speaker: Asher Intrater
Worship Leaders: Misty Edwards and others

There is coming a time when life as we know it will be forever changed. The Bible describes it as a time of great revival and trouble and gives us much information on how to walk in the power of the Spirit in those days.

What do Jesus, the apostles, and the Old Testament prophets teach us about Israel and the end times, and how can we better understand and spiritually prepare for the end of the age?

What is the significance of Jerusalem and Israel in God’s end-time salvation purposes?

At this conference we will highlight various facets of the end times, focusing on what the Bible says about the people, places, and events involved.

Last year a man named David Pawson was the main guest speaker- he is incredible, if you can find anything by him online let me know! 

Blessings!

My story

God is so good! I'd thought I'd share a brief history of  my story:
I was raised in a Christian family, accepted Christ as my saviour when I was little, but when I was in middle school I remember making a distinct change in that I wanted to live my life for Jesus. I wanted to do things for Him in a specific way, that everything I'd do would be for Him. That is when the gift of prophecy first emerged in my life. God would meet me on the outdoor trips we would do as a school and I had a sense of going out to meet with someone and waiting for them, but didn't quite realize it was God. I somehow got a hold of Merchant Band's cd and a Misty Edwards cd that shook me up and changed my view of God. The cds pointed me to sing to God. That had been a new concept- singing directly to God, not just about Him.
In high school I got the revelation of God's nearness and love for me. That He is relational and personal and really knows me and wants me to know Him. I realized that I could actually talk to God like a real person, because Jesus is a real person! And that He will speak back to me, and that knowledge is too great for me! That changed EVERYTHING!
God started telling me about Holy Spirit.- He was just a name before, something in the stratosphere that I didn't understand.
And I came to the International House of Prayer and am being wrecked by what He is doing and who He is. He is wonderful, beautiful, faithful, loving, and good.  He is just and true in all He does. And I love Him.

Prayer

John 15:17 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.


If you keep reading on in John 15, it says that you abide by obeying his commands. Reference that with Colossians 3:3 that, "you died and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory." and I see that as a believer I am not my own. I am now in Christ, to find me you have to go through the blood of Jesus. So when I magnify myself instead of Christ it is like I am stepping outside of the 'boundary lines' of Christ.  I don't fully understand and these are just some of my thoughts, but I know that I don't want to be a branch that finds itself cut off. Let's stay in the vine that gives life, turn to Jesus and stay there. 

Isaiah 40:1-2

Comfort for God's People

40 zComfort, comfort my people, says your God.

2 aSpeak tenderly to Jerusalem,

and cry to her

that bher warfare1 is ended,

that her iniquity is pardoned,

that she has received from the Lord's hand

double for all her sins.
I'd thought I'd share on Isaiah 40.  I have been realizing when meditating and singing this passage that one of the reasons why it is so difficult for me is because it is not mainly about me. It is about the nation of Israel- God's chosen people. This passage is for Israel to encourage them that they can be comforted now because the Messiah they have been waiting for has come and will come again, his name is Jesus.

I've been struggling how to personalize it after I realized this. And though this passage is for Israel,  and as Gentiles we don't replace them, we are grafted in to the vine. 

God's character never changes.  So I can see God's character. Also the Bible says God doesn't have favorites. God is faithful to complete the promises He makes.  

I have been wrestling and grappling with this passage, still working on understanding it, but that is part of the fun and joy of the Word! Its been  interesting to view a passage for someone else and not for me.

Sermon on the Mount

Hey all!
Mike Bickle has started teaching on the Sermon on the Mount- Matthew 5-7. It is really good! I'm recommending it. I'm realizing the importance of knowing this passage well.  Here is the link to look at it:
http://mikebickle.org/
and on the left hand side it will say recent messages. They should have "Sermon on the Mount" like titles or "Kingdom living" or such.

Class: Basic Christian Beliefs, & KeysETT

A little update, the class I was going to take (Sermon on the Mount) was switched to this class: Basic Christian Beliefs. It is taught by Jono Hall.  We are reading the book Doctrine by Mark Driscoll.
We've learned a lot about christian history and following the history of thought in regards to God. Crazy stuff. It is a really good class!

In my KeysETT class (Keys, ear-training, and theory) I am learning new harmonized scale voicings and currently we are looking at the song, “I’ve Got the Victor Living In Me.”-> Really Fun! Maybe I can upload a video!! We are also continuing to grow in sight reading and singing.

In my Prophetic Singing class we are meditating on Isaiah 40. Every week we take 1-2 verses and read it, write it, sing it, pray it, paraphrase it, and cross-reference it. This has been amazing for me. I feel like I’m digging deeper into the Word and letting it soak into my heart by wrestling over words and phrases, and talking to the Lord about the verse. “What does this mean?” Its so amazing, I highly recommend you doing it. Perhaps we could even do the same passage together? We will be hanging out in Isaiah 40 until March.

In that class I am also learning technique and correct singing, while at the same time being encouraged as a prophetic singer that hears from the Lord and declares through song His heart.

I am also on what we call a “Harp & Bowl” worship team. If you go to IHOP.org and click on the “Prayer Room” tab, you can take a look at what I am being equipped to do and learning. Currently I am singing on a team and learning how to serve the team musically.

Next semester classes!

I am so excited for next semester already. Here is the lineup for the classes I will be taking:

FMA practicum with Pablo Perez
Sermon on the Mount with Sarah Sun Kim
theology of 24/7 Worship with Stephen Venable
Mike Bickle's class
Harp and bowl worship team


PUMPED!!

November newsletter

In my Beholding His Majesty class we have been studying attributes of God. We are reading A.W. Tozer’s book “Attributes of God, volumes 1& 2” while also having a teaching on attributes of God and the “Beholding” aspect with a combination of contemplative meditation. 

I really enjoy reading any of Tozer’s writings; the Lord has given him experiential wisdom. Plus he writes in a way I understand. J Between the 2 volumes Tozer goes through 20 attribures of God. SOOO good, I recommend you read it! Everything rises and falls on the knowledge of God. According to the revelation of God’s nature and person in our lives so will be our worship. Tozer writes in the preface, “It is utterly necessary that we know this God, this One that John wrote about…this One that theology talks about and this One that we’re sent to preach and teach about. It is absolutely, utterly and critically necessary that we know this One, for you see, man fell when he lost his right concept of God (3, The Attributes of God, v I).”

In my Life of David class, we are reading Mike Bickle’s After God’s Own Heart. It is all about, like David, going after God’s own heart and what that means and what it looks like by looking through the life of David. It is so good! Mike Bickle has spent some time meditating on this stuff, you can tell.  My heart has been growing and yearning to have this type of heart as I’ve been reading it. It is so encouraging and equipping! Mike wants to encourage people that we can go hard after God too. I have been getting a lot of revelation about the life of David just reading it. Its helped me gain comprehensive understanding and of the life of David. David’s life is so powerful, there is so much detail that I have just read over in the past.

I mentioned in my last newsletter that the IHOP community went on a 21-day fast (some are going until 11/11/11). It was a really good fast, meaning I really wanted to do this fast. In fact many people felt this way! That is only by the power of the Holy Spirit! J During this time the Lord gave me a lot of dreams, and I realized again that God can speak through dreams and often does. So I decided to take my dreams more seriously-testing them of course- and I am learning how to dialogue with the Lord about them…still learning! J  Through some dreams He’s shown me how to pray about some things. I like dreams a lot! J

During the fast I was asking for breakthrough, for healing/fire anointing –not completely sure what that means, but He’s got it and I want it!- & knowledge & love of God. He pulled through! He brought up some stuff, man!

The Lord is still doing things in me and bringing up areas to burn with His fire of love, so nothing will 

hinder love. PTL!!

FELLOWSHIP prayer

This isn't mine, its Mike Bickle but his copyright is the right to copy so... I was praying this this morning, its really good, and it takes time but already my heart is realigning with God. This is an acronym to FELLOWSHIP, you can get it off his website to: mikebickle.org

Here's a short version, look below this for more depth: 

F-fear of God

E-Endurance

L-love

L- light of glory (Ex. 33:18)

O-Onething life focus (Lk 10:42; Ps. 27:4)

W-count me worthy (2 Thes. 1:11)

S-speech

H- humility

I- insight with intimacy (wisdom)

P- peace and joy

II. TEN PRAYERS TO RECEIVE STRENGTH IN THE INNER MAN: F-E-L-L-O-W-S-H-I-P   

16 

 To be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man… (Eph. 3:16)  

A. F- Fear of God: Father, release the spirit of the fear of God into my heart. Release the lightning 

and thunder from Your Throne to strike my heart (Rev. 4:5) with Your majesty, that I might live 

in awe before You. Release Your presence and holy dread that makes me tremble before You. 

Unite my heart to your heart and Word and cause me to delight in the fear of God. 

40 

 I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me. (Jer. 32:40)  

13 

 The Lord…you shall hallow; let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread. (Isa. 8:13)  

11 

Unite my heart (to Your heart and Word) to fear Your name. (Ps. 86:11)  

3 

 His delight is in the fear of the LORD… (Isa. 11:3)  

B. E- Endurance (patience): Father, strengthen my spirit with endurance that I may do Your will 

with zeal and diligence and that I not quit pursuing the deep things of God. Impart endurance for 

fasting. Direct my heart into the endurance in which Jesus walked. This is a prayer for strength to 

follow through in my commitments to God and to fulfill my ministry calling when it is difficult.  

11 

Being strengthened with all power…may have great endurance and patience… (Col. 1:11 NIV) 

5 

 May the Lord direct your hearts into…the patience (endurance) of Christ. (2 Thes. 3:5)  

1. It takes the power of God to not quit. If you do not quit in your fervent pursuit you win.  

17 

 It was written, "Zeal for Thy house will consume me (Jesus)." (Jn. 2:17, NAS)  

9 

 Zeal for Your house has eaten me (David) up…10 I wept and chastened my soul with 

fasting that became my reproach. 11 I made sackcloth my garment… (Ps. 69:9-11)  

2. Lord, give me Your zeal as You gave it to Phineas.  

11 

 Phinehas…was zealous with My zeal among them… (Num. 25:11)  

C. L- Love: Father, pour out Your love into my heart by releasing the influences of the Spirit to give 

me revelation of Your love for me, that it may overflow in love back to You and to others.  

5 

 The love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit... (Rom. 5:5)  

9 

 I pray, that your love may abound still more…in knowledge and all discernment. (Phil. 1:9)  

5 

 May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God… (2 Thes. 3:5)  

6 

 Set Me (Jesus) as a seal on your heart…for love is as strong as death…its flames are flames 

of fire…7 Many waters cannot quench love, nor can floods drown it. (Song 8:6-7)  

1. Father, impart Your love for Jesus in my heart (Jn. 17:26). I agree with Jesus’ prophecy 

(Mt. 22:37) to receive grace to love God with all my heart and soul and mind.  

26 

 …That the love with which You loved Me may be in them… (Jn. 17:26)  

37 

 You shall love the Lord…with all your heart…soul…and mind. (Mt. 22:37)  

2. Father, allow me to comprehend Jesus’ love for me and to abide in it (stay connect to it).  

18 

 That you…may be able to comprehend…what is the width and length and depth and 

height…19 to know (experience) the love (affection) of Christ… (Eph. 3:18-19)  

9 

 As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. (Jn. 15:9)  

3. Let me see and love myself through Your eyes. Thank you for who I am to You.  

13 

 You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. 14 I will praise 

You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my 

soul knows very well. 15 My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in 

secret, and skillfully wrought… (Ps. 139:13-15)  

4. Father, “I agree with Jesus’ command and prophecy in Mt. 22:39 that I will love others.” 

Let me abound in love by seeing what You see and feeling what You feel about others.  

39 

 …You shall love your neighbor as yourself. (Mt. 22:39)  

12 

 May the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another… (1 Thes. 3:12)  

D. L- Light of glory: Father, let me see the light of Your glory or to encounter the “glory realm”. 

Give me Holy Spirit encounters (dreams, visions, angelic visitations, manifestations of light, fire, 

wind) as You gave to Moses, Isaiah, Ezekiel and John (Ex. 33; 34:29-30; Isa. 6; Ezek. 1; Rev. 1).   

6 

 A great light from heaven shone around me…8 He said to me, “I am Jesus of Nazareth…” 

11 I could not see for the glory of that light…I came to Damascus. (Acts 22:6-11)  

18 

 And he (Moses) said, "Please, show me Your glory." (Ex. 33:18)  

6 

 Lord, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us. (Ps. 4:6)  

16 

 His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength. (Rev. 1:16)  

3 

 Send out Your light and truth! Let them lead me…bring me to Your holy hill… (Ps. 43:3)  

3 

 Restore us, O God; cause Your face to shine, and we shall be saved! (Ps. 80:3)  

51 

 You shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending… (Jn. 1:51) 

17 

 I pray, open his eyes that he may see. Then the LORD opened the eyes of the young 

man…the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. (2 Kgs. 6:17) 

E. O- One thing life focus: Father, strengthen me to maintain a life in Your word with desire for it. 

When I lose this focus, send Your word to deliver me as You did for the saints at Ephesus, Sardis 

and Laodicea (Rev. 2:4-5; 3:1-3; 3:15-20). Alert me when I need to recommit my schedule and 

priorities to live as a person of one thing who regularly sits at Your feet, as Mary of Bethany did. 

Busyness, guilt and despair cause fervent believers to drift from their fervency.  

42 

 But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part… (Lk. 10:42)  

4 

 One thing I have desired…all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord. (Ps. 27:4)  

8 

 I have set the Lord always before me…He is at my right hand I shall not be moved. (Ps. 16:8) 

F. W- Count me worthy (faithfulness unto fullness): Father, strengthen me to walk in a way that 

You would consider me worthy to walk in my highest calling and escape all compromise that I 

might stand before You victorious in full obedience.  

11 

 We pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all 

the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power… (2 Thes. 1:11)  

36 

 Watch…and pray always that you may be counted worthy (prepared) to escape all these 

things (sins of v. 34)…to stand (in victory) before the Son of Man. (Lk. 21:36)  

1. No one is “worthy” to receive forgiveness which is a free gift because of Jesus’ 

worthiness. Rather, we are to have a worthy response to God by living free of 

compromise, thus prepared or worthy to walk in the fullness of our calling. 

2. The opposite of having a worthy response is to waste or receive God’s grace in vain.  

1 

 We…plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. (2 Cor. 6:1)  

3. Help keep me free of compromise that I would walk blameless body, soul and spirit.  

23 

 May the God of peace sanctify you completely; may your spirit, soul, and body be 

preserved blameless (without compromise) at the coming of our Lord… (1 Thes. 5:23)  

13 

 That He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before God… (1 Thes. 3:13)  

4. We agree with David’s prayers to walk in purity.  

10 

 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit in me. (Ps. 51:10)  

17 

 Your people…offer willingly to You. 18 O LORD…keep this forever in the intent of 

the thoughts of the heart of Your people, and fix their heart toward You. 19 And give 

my son Solomon a loyal heart to keep Your commandments… (1 Chr 29:17-19)  

1 

 Save me, O God! The waters have come up to my neck. 2 I sink in deep mire, where there 

is no standing; I have come into deep waters…the floods overflow me. (Ps. 69:1-2)  

5. We agree with David’s holy resolve to set nothing impure before his eyes.  

3 

 I will set nothing wicked before my eyes… (Ps. 101:3) 

1 

 I have made a covenant with my eyes; why should I look on a woman? (Job 31:1)  

6. Lead me from the storm of temptation, rescue me from its deep waters, and cleanse me 

from secret faults (Ps. 19:12; 69:1-2). Search me and show me my heart (Ps. 139:23).  

13 

 Do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. (Mt. 6:13)  

15 

 That You should keep them from the evil one. (Jn. 17:15) 

12 

 Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from secret (unperceived) faults. (Ps. 19:12)  

23 

 Search me, O God, and know (reveal) my heart; try me, and know my anxieties…  

(Ps. 139:23)  

G. S- Speech: Father, set a guard over my lips. Free me from defensive, angry and foolish speech (Eph. 

4:29; 5:4). Sustained communion with God requires restrained conversation with man.

 If one does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body. (Jas. 3:2)  

3 

 Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips. (Ps. 141:3)  

14 

 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable... (Ps. 19:14)  

1. The Spirit is quenched in our life by unwholesome speech (filthy, foolish, coarse jesting).   

29 

 Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary 

edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. 30 Do not grieve the Holy Spirit… 

5:4 

 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting… 

(Eph. 4:29-5:4)  

2. I set my heart to not sin with my speech (Ps. 17:3; 39:1). 

3 

 I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress. (Ps. 17:3)  

1 

 I said, "I will guard my ways, lest I sin with my tongue; I will restrain my mouth with 

a muzzle, while the wicked are before me." (Ps 39:1)  

H. H- Humility: Jesus, I want to learn from You how to walk in lowliness. I commit to take Your 

yoke of humility (lowliness of heart) on my life in my attitudes, speech, and actions. Give me 

wisdom on how to carry my heart in humility. 

29 

 Take My yoke…and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart… (Mt. 11:29) 

3 

 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem 

others better than himself…5 Let this mind be in you which was in Christ… (Phil. 2:3-5)  

I. I- Insight unto intimacy (wisdom): Father give me insight into Your Word, will, and ways. Give 

me wisdom on how to live before You that I may walk in intimacy (union) with You.  

17 

 May give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him… (Eph. 1:17)  

9 

 Ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual 

understanding; 10 that you may have a walk worthy of the Lord… (Col. 1:9-10)  

1. Father, “Give me insight that I may walk under the Spirit’s leadership that we may 

partner together in every issue in my life including my finances, schedule, emotions, 

circumstances, physical body (diet, health), relationships (in the home, office, ministry), 

my future, fears, addictions, etc. Give me new ideas in each area of my life”.  

26 

 The Holy Spirit…will teach you all things... (Jn. 14:26)  

2. Father, I long to walk in the fullness of Your will in every area of my life.   

12 

 Epaphras…always laboring fervently for you in prayers that you may stand perfect 

and complete in all the will of God. (Col. 4:12)  

3. Let me know the secrets of Your heart (Ps. 25:14). What are You thinking and feeling?  

4 

 Show me Your ways…teach me Your paths. 5 Lead me in Your truth…14 The secret 

of the LORD is with those who fear Him… (Ps. 25:4-5, 14)  

4. We ask for the Spirit’s insight into God’s end-time purposes (Dan. 11:35; 12:10), 

eternity, the New Jerusalem, the judgment seat of Christ, and hell.  

13 

 The Spirit…will guide you into all truth; He will tell you things to come. (Jn. 16:13)  

22 

 O Daniel, I have now come forth to give you skill to understand. (Dan. 9:22)  

20 

 The anger of the LORD (end-time judgments) will not turn back until He has 

executed and performed the thoughts of His heart. In the latter days you will 

understand it perfectly. (Jer. 23:20)  

J. P- Peace and Joy: Father, strengthen my heart with supernatural peace and joy that overpowers 

fear and anxiety that I would not sin. Sin grows fastest when fear or anxiety works strongly in us.  

7 

 The peace of God…will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Phil. 4:7) 

13 

 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound 

in hope (confidence) by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Rom. 15:13)  

16 

 Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. (2 Thes. 3:16)
