Life Changing Prayer

Donna Braman


BELIEVERS MINISTRY PRAYER LINE

Good morning my friends!  I had a great holiday break and spent much time in personal prayer of where the Lord wants to lead me as the educator of Believers Ministry, Inc.  Later this week I will do a newsletter to inform everyone of all that Believers Ministry will be doing this year.  I can tell you now that my spirit is filled with the work of prayer intercessory.  I am very excited about connecting to everyone again and connecting to new friends and lifting everyone up in the Lord.

On January the 10th I will be beginning a 21 day Daniel fast for the purpose of moving mountains in YOUR life.  There are certain mountains that require fasting in order to be pulled down. One that is foremost in my spirit is addictions and strongholds on the mind. So, if you have one of these oppressing you or a family member or loved one please get their name on the prayer list before the 10th. Faith in the power of Christ is going to move it for you in this new season.

Fasting is an element of three foundations Jesus commands us to do in our prayer life, yet churches rarely join together to do this powerful act that results in miracles, healings and the casting down of strongholds. To be an effective prayer warrior, you will encounter battles for others that will require fasting. Matthew 17:21.   It requires consecrating yourself to the Lord for the benefit of others.  Prolonged fasting looses the chains of injustice, breaks yokes and sets the oppressed free. When we obey God's commands, pray and fast, he says in Isaiah 58:8, then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear, then your righteousness will go before you and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard, then you will call and the Lord will answer when you satisfy the needs of the oppressed and hungry. He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame.  You will be like a well-watered garden and will raise up the age-old foundations, and you will be a repairer of Broken Walls.

How many of you would like for the Lord to be your rear guard this year!  I know I sure do!

That's how powerful prayer and fasting and living according to the word is.  Sometimes we get lazy about doing what the word tells us we need to do to get our breakthroughs, but I believe as more and more of us get back to the basics of Jesus' teachings we will see God move in a mighty way in our lives.  My love for each and every one of you and desire to see you and your loved ones free from oppressions wells up in my spirit like a spring flooding from the depths of my soul.  I have faith that God wants to move on our lives this year and I'm ready and bursting to turn that faith into substance with fasting and prayer! Prayer warriors get ready for a year of VICTORY!

My prayers for each and every one of you are taken from the mouth of the Apostle Paul, and I hope you read them with knowledge in your hearts and minds of how very much Christ loves you and is there to meet those very real needs.
Ephesians 1:16-23, The Lord has given you the spirit of wisdom and revelation of Jesus Christ.  I Thank Him that the eyes of your understanding are being enlightened to know the hope of your calling and the riches of the glory of His inheritance to you.  I thank him for revealing to you the exceeding greatness of His Power, which was wrought in Christ, when He was raised from the dead and set at God's own right hand.  Know that the riches of heaven are yours!

Ephesians 3:14-20, I pray God will grant you according to the riches of His glory to be strengthened with might your Spirit in your inner man.  That Christ may dwell in your heart by faith; and being rooted and grounded in love that you may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height; and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fullness of God.  The Lord is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that you ask or think, according to the power that worketh in you.

Colossians 1:9-11,  I pray that You will be filled with him with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you might walk worthy of Him, be all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing knowledge, to be strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with JOY!
