#First 21 - Day 21 Our FirstFruits!

And so this morning, we wrapped up our 21 day prayer/fast this morning with prayers of Thanksgiving and Praise to the ONE who is Faithful and True.

We've received testimonies of salvations, of healings, of provisions of finance, places to live, testimonies of God making a way where there seemed to be no way, because He is the Way Maker, He is the Healer, the Savior, the Deliverer, The Provider, the Restorer and The Reconciler.

But most of the and most important of all, we hold testament to the Gift of having our hearts burn again for Him. Of having a renewed hunger and thirst for prayer, for His Word and most importantly for HIS PRESENCE!

His Presence that goes before us like a cloud by day and a fire by night, His Presence that surrounds us and is our rear guard. It's in His Presence that we find ALL that we need and more. Faith is found in His Presence. Grace is found in His Presence. Hope is found in His Presence. Goodness is found in His Presence. Conviction and repentance are found in His Presence. Joy is found in His Presence. Love is found in His Presence. Wisdom is found in His Presence. Guidance is found in His Presence. Salvation and Healing are found in His Presence. Mercy is Found in His Presence. Oh the Benefit of His Presence!

May the Fire on the Altar of Our Hearts NEVER GO OUT! THIS is our GIFT FOR 2016!

Ephesians 3:14-21

"...For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Now to HIM who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be Glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!" Amen. And now, that the 21 days are complete, continue to WALK in this way. Continue to put God first, acknowledging Him in ALL your ways, and He shall continue to 'establish' your path. (proverbs 3). For 2016 is the Year of Crossing Into the Presence and Over into the Promise. The Year of being Renewed, Rebuilt and Restored. The Year of Extending the Tent Peg and Reaching outward toward the Call. The Year of being Released as an Arrow of God's Deliverance and of Receiving 'Arrows' of Deliverance for Kingdom Advancement. You shall no longer walk with head bowed but will 'see' and 'know' the ONE who is the glory and the Lifter of your head (Psalm 3). You shall walk in power and authority of the ONE who rumbles from Heaven and disperses your enemies and makes the crooked paths straight before you. This Firstfruit offering of 'first things first' shall cause the blessing upon the rest of the 'crop' of 2016. The priority has been set (Matthew 6:33), His Kingdom first and so we can expect and know that according to His Word, ALL these 'other' things shall be added according to HIS Will and Purpose. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we pray and believe for Yours, Lord is the Kingdom. Yours is the Power. Yours is the Glory. Forever and Ever. Amen.
