amen good morning everyone and Welcome to our Saturday morning intercessory prayer thank you to all of you who come into the house this morning and I'd like to say thank you and welcome to all of our visitors uh who are with us via the media stream I hope that you have your hearts and your minds prepared to hear what the Lord is saying to us today concerning prayer here at Destiny uh our mantra for this year is change is inevitable and to me that just sounds like such a big word but for change to be inevitable we have our scripture taken from Ecclesiastes 3 And1 in the NIV version of the Bible and it reads there is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens and we know that according to what Dr Rob has told us that change happens whether we want it to or not that change is Unstoppable change happens whether we choose to participate in the change or not you know sometimes we feel like we want to try to prevent things or keep things from happening but we are conditioned or we are taught or we are trained to live carnally now when it says that you're conditioned or trained when you think about it from the time of concep ction change begins you change in the womb you change after you're born you you change uh as you grow up through life you know uh it's like the movie Peter Pan he didn't want to grow up he always wanted to be a kid but even though that was his desire and even though he wanted to continue to play and act like a child he eventually grew up so that is what our change training is about we are to grow up in the Lord and not always be children so in being conditioned for change or trained for change Pastor Roberts told us that change number one like our Mantra change is inevitable it's not only inevitable it's also invisible yes and because we don't always see the change when it happens we just know that it's there it's like one day you look in the mirror and your hair is black the next day you look and you see something shiny something white or gray sticking up and you say yesterday that wasn't there but change happens change is not only inevitable and invisible it is invincible meaning you can't fight against it and win now sometimes we want to dig in our heels and I know some women have the testimony that they don't grow old they're 25 or 35 whatever their favorite age is uh for as long as as they want to say that I'm not one of those women but it's Invincible you can fight against it we dye our hair we tuck things in uh things out but you cannot fight against change it is invincible and not only that is indispensable it is necessary we cannot stay the same we have to grow up in the things of the lord we in the natural surely if there's change in the natural you look at the trees you consider the seed and how it grows up how it opens up up sprouts and then as it grows up it gets older we are to mature in the things of the Lord so then Dr Sheila has told us about being in change training or training for Change and she gave the a a very uh appropriate demonstration of how when you want to strive for Mastery and we want to strive for Mastery in the things of the Lord in order to become to become a master of anything it requires practice it requires training it requires effort it requires that you um push past your pain or your comfortability that you have to do some things that you probably don't want to do and for a lot of us who like to procras things you want to put off you don't want to get to it quite now but it is necessary so you have to push you have to press towards the mark you can't just sit there and wait for it to come upon you it requires some work on our part so in our change training uh we know that we practice in the things of the Lord right we are not to be Sunday Christians or Wednesday night Christians or every now and then Christians for that matter because when you're in training it requires consistency that means you have to do it repeatedly it requires a repetitive motion on our part uh we have to discipline ourself right yes we have to be radical in that discipline because we we've got work to do we cannot sit around and and uh expect everybody else to do the work for us everybody has a part everybody has a position everybody has something that the Lord has purposed for you to do here in the earth amen so it's about time for all of us to get about our father's business and to do so diligently our scripture for this month concerning our our prayer intercessory prayer is taken from Ephesians chapter 6 vers 10- 11 and in the King James version it says finally my brethren be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might put on the whole armor of God that ye may be able to stand against the Ws of the devil and Dr Rob stated that the thing that stood out to him was that word finally and in looking at the word finally that means that there was something that occurred before that we learned that in in anything there's a progression with training if you're starting to train in weightlifting you don't start out with well most of us you're not going to start out with 100 pounds right away right right you have to build up to it so in Ephesians chapter 6 we find that that is the last chapter in that in that book so then you have one through five which for us is training that leads up to that part that we all want to say we're put on the whole armor of God before or we can put on that armor there are some other things that have to take place there's some training there's some changing that needs to go on you don't take a newborn babe and expect it to eat a steak no there's a progression there is training there's some learning that needs to to uh go on in the life of that child and we as newborn babes we desire to sincere milk of the word but can't always stay on milk we have to grow up and mature and learn how to Feast on the meat of the word amen amen so in chapter one we learned that we are redeemed you have to believe this thing you don't just say it and play with it lest you be like the seven sons of ska we have to be redeemed and know that we're redeemed we have to know that chapter two that we are saved and we know that salvation is not through our works it is by grace that we are saved through faith so then you have to know that you're redeemed because you've been saved and you receive it by faith so there is a progression there and then chapter three tells us that that there is a mystery and the Mystery that the world did not see back then is that it wasn't just for the Jews that God had opened things up for the Gentiles as well that we can be saved that we can receive Jesus as our Lord and savior chapter 4 teaches us that we need to learn to forgive and that's a big one in the Body of Christ because like the world uh offenses come but we have to learn how to forgive and move on like it says in the 10 Kingdom Keys we have to forgive the offense let go and we have to move on and a part of our moving on from that unforgiveness piece is that we have to learn to love and walk in love cuz we can say that we love but your walk won't show it on so you forgive you learn to walk in love and in Walking In Love that's a part of your growing up you're not going to be a child you're not going to tantrum you're not going to pout cuz how many you know Christians like to pout oh we pout we get attitudes but we are learning and as as we've heard it said we need to learn to get over ourselves cuz we're not so good that we haven't offended someone else so we all have been in need of forgiveness so we have to learn to forgive the word tells us that when we stand praying we are to forgive lest Our Father not forgive us and he not hear us when we pray pray and that's what this Saturday morning intercessory prayer is all about it's about praying when you've done these things you know you've been redeemed you know that you're saved you know that uh it God has all the love for you that he has for Israel you know that you have to forgive and you're learning to walk in in love then you get to the word finally finally you can be strong because you've grown up in this you say well how am I going to be strong it's not in you the word says it's in the power of His might so the battles are not won according to the word of God it's by his Spirit by his spirit so then what the word tells us in Luke chapter 18 verse one in the King James version it says and he spake a parable unto them them to this end that men ought always to pray and not to faint so if you're going to pray always that means everywhere if you're in the car you can pray you at work you can pray you're standing in the kitchen doing dishes I know a lot of us women can relate to this you standing in there and you praying you remember many of you have praying mothers or grandmothers and you can remember them being in the kitchen saying oh Lord or thanking the lord for something that he's done something that he's provided how he's worked things out 1 Corinthians 14- 15 says what is it then it says I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the understanding also so you've heard a uh it taught and you've heard about our prayer language how we pray in the spirit so you don't just have this this Avenue available to you to pray in the natural we pray in the natural of course sure but we also pray in the spirit we go on to receive our prayer language the baptism of the Holy Ghost and then in Jude 1 and 20 it says but ye beloved building up yourselves on your Most Holy Faith praying in the Holy Ghost so we want to build up our spiritual muscles we want to be able to flex and let people see our strength in the Lord that's why we pray always you pray at home you pray in your prayer closet you pray in your car you you you pray at work you pray wherever you are you call on the name of the Lord and He will hear and answer prayer so you pray for yourself but you also pray for others thereby comes intercession we intercede and that's why we come together corporately that we might touch and agree that we might uh call on the name of the Lord on the behalf of others amen amen amen so we're here we're going to get to work and we're going to pray to the Lord amen Amen on the behalf of ourselves and others amen everybody please stand most gracious Heavenly Father Lord we come once again with thankful Hearts we thank you for all that you have done for us and all that you are doing on our behalf we know that you are a a God who does not change You're The God Who is was and is to come you said that you were the same today yesterday and forever more but we understand that because because we are imperfect beings that we're ever gr we're ever learning we're ever changing and learning learning more about you we thank you for our Mantra this year to let us know that change is coming that change is inevitable and we need to be prepared for the changes that are coming we know that things happen in the world some things we like some things we don't like but those are things that we cannot change but what we can do is change our minds that we are transformed by the renewing of our faith we are Transforming Our Minds our minds are being renewed we are growing in faith we're growing in our belief and our ability to walk out on your word for we know that your word will come to pass it is unchangeable it is Unstoppable according to your word this world will pass away but not one jot or one title of your word will ever fail we thank you for the things that youve spoken over our lives for you are our Sovereign Lord you are Our Redeemer you are our savior it is because of you that we live move and have our being we thank you for all that you're doing in this body of Believers we thank you for how you are growing us up that though Trials Come offenses come we know that we can still rest in you we know that we can run to the rock that you will shelter us that you will be our safe haven that you will be our shield and buckler that you are our high tower that you watch over us and we can abide under the shadow of the Almighty that we can rest under your wings even as a hen nurtures her baby chicks we know that we can find protection we can find warmth all that we need is in you that it's none of us but it's all of you we thank you for your word that teaches us how we are to walk and how we are to build up our our faith and be in courageous and be very strong we know that our adversary the enemy is busy going to and fr walking up and down the Earth seeing whom he may devour but we thank you because we are still hereall we are still standing we're still calling on your name and believing that you are our deliverer and that we are more than conquerors through Christ that we are victorious through him that it's not not in us but we are we rest and abide in him so we are conquerors through Christ Jesus we thank you for our
