Isaiah

Ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I [am] he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

KJV Isaiah 43:10

Isaiah 44

“This is what the Lord says—

Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty:

I am the first and I am the last;

apart from me there is no God.
Isaiah 44:6

Do not tremble, do not be afraid.

Did I not proclaim this and foretell it long ago?

You are my witnesses. Is there any God besides me?

No, there is no other Rock; I know not one.”
Isaiah 44:8

Current Events

I have been watching intently the current events that are shaping our world. Just today I was reading a quote by Franklin Graham. He said that “Christians Will Lose the Power to Pray Outside Church Walls ‘Maybe in My Lifetime’. Franklin Graham recently was told he could not speak at the Pentagon for the National Day of Prayer because of remarks he made about Islam. There is an open hostility and an assault on Christian values brewing in our nation. Jesus spoke of persecutions that would take place before He would return. He also said He would give us a mouth and wisdom in which we would use to respond to our persecutors. God always give us what we need.

Luk 21:12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.

Luk 21:13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

Luk 21:14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:

Luk 21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.



The greatest need for our nation and our churches is a spiritual awakening to God. One of the four things that God laid on my heart in 2009 was the “Outpouring of the Holy Spirit”. Without Christians standing up and praying for this great outpouring of God’s Spirit we as a nation and a church will be greatly diminished. The Bible speaks of a great spiritual awakening in the book of Joel. God desires to give HIS church what it needs in these last days. An outpouring of His Spirit.



Joe 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

Joe 2:29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.



Now is the time to pray, now is the time to seek God with all our heart. You may be asking, “How do you know that?” (Remember one of the things that we were supposed to be praying about was insight of the seasons or being able to discern the time in which we live.) The Bible speaks about the nations in Joel Chapter 3.



Joe 3:1 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,

Joe 3:2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.



Notice in verse two it says “ALL NATIONS”. All Nations were involved in parting the land. In verse one it talks about the captivity of Judah (West Bank) and Jerusalem. This is the topic of discussion among the nations as I write this letter. The nations are discussing these two areas of land that God gave to Abraham and his descendants. Our nation was one of the last countries in the world to stand with Israel. The U.S. is increasingly distancing itself away from Israel to appease radical Islam. While we witness a growing hostility toward Israel, we will witness a growing hostility toward believers. But God, always will meet our need. As we witness these events unfolding we will experience one of the greatest spiritual awakenings this world has ever seen. The event coinciding with the nations forming their alliance against Israel will be the great outpouring of God’s Spirit. This is the time to seek God with all your heart. It is a time to rejoice because our redemption draws near.

A Prayer for My Marriage

A Prayer For My Marriage

Father, in the Name of Jesus, I come boldly to Your throne of grace to find help and mercy in this time of need. I come with Your Word, Father, concerning my marriage.

The Bible says in 1 John 5:14-15, This is the assurance we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of Him.

I know Father, that it is Your will for my marriage to be healed. I know that Your will is for my mate and I to be in agreement, to be at peace, and to have a beautiful relationship.

Therefore, I have confidence that You will heal my marriage. I thank You, Father, that You were a witness on our wedding day when we made our marriage vows. I confess that my mate and I will guard ourselves in our spirits so that we will not break faith with one another. (see Malachi 2:14-15).

I praise You, Father, that my mate and I are no longer two, but we are one flesh. You have joined us together. And what God has joined together, no man will separate (see Mark 10:7,9). I know that Satan has come to destroy my marriage. But I also know that Jesus came to bring life to my marriage (see John 10:10.)

I thank You, Father, that You have given me power over all the power of the enemy (see Luke 10:19). I know that my mate is not my enemy. My fight is against the principalities and powers of darkness (see Ephesians 6:10-12).

In the Name of Jesus, I resist the devil and he must flee from me and my mate (see James 4:7). I take authority over the spirit of confusion, strife, adultery, and divorce and all the powers of darkness that have come to destroy my marriage. In the Name of Jesus, we are free from the power of the devil.

Father, I pray that You will show me the changes that I need to make. I pray as David prayed, I desire truth in my inner being; make me therefore to know wisdom in my inmost heart (see Psalm 51:6). I desire to know the truth because the truth will set me free. Help me, Father, to walk in love toward my mate.

Know I know, Father, that You are not willing that my mate perish, but that he/she will come to repentance (see 2 Peter 3:9). I pray that You will enlighten the eyes of my mate's understanding in order that they may know the hope to which You have called him/her.

I thank You, Father, that my mate will turn to You and we will serve You all the days of our lives. I thank You, Father, that my mate and I cling to one another and we love each other as Christ loves the church (see Ephesians 5:22-32).

I pray that we will get rid of all bitterness and anger and that we will be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another just as Christ forgave us (see Ephesians 4:31-32).

I know, Father, that You have a specific plan and purpose for me and my mate together. And I thank You for perfecting that which concerns me (see Psalm 138:8). Amen.

A Prayer for Our Marriage

A Prayer For Our Marriage

Father, in the Name of Jesus, we come boldly to Your throne of grace to find help and mercy in this time of need. We come with Your Word, Father, concerning our marriage.

The Bible says in 1 John 5:14-15, This is the assurance we have in approaching you our Father: that if we ask anything according to Your will, You hear us. And if we know that You hear us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of You.

We know Father, that it is Your will for our marriage to be whole. We know that Your will is for us as a couple to be in agreement, to be at peace, and to have a beautiful relationship.

Therefore, we have confidence that You will make our marriage complete so that people will glorify your name in the day of visitation. We thank You, Father, that You were a witness on our wedding day when we made our marriage vows. We confess that we will guard ourselves in our spirits so that we will not break faith with one another. (see Malachi 2:14-15).

We praise You, Father, that we are no longer two, but we are one flesh. You have joined us together. And what God has joined together, no man will separate (see Mark 10:7,9). We know that Satan’s purpose is to destroy our marriage. But we also know that Jesus came to bring abundant life to our marriage (see John 10:10.)

We thank You, Father, that You have given us power over all the works of the enemy (see Luke 10:19). We know that we our not enemies with one another. Our fight is against the principalities and powers of darkness (see Ephesians 6:10-12).

In the Name of Jesus, we submit ourselves to you and resist the devil, therefore, he must flee from us (see James 4:7). We take authority over the spirit of confusion, strife, adultery, and divorce and all the powers of darkness that have come to destroy our marriage. In the Name of Jesus, we are free from the power of the devil.

Father, we pray that You will show us the changes that we need to make. We pray as David prayed, we desire truth in our inner being; make us therefore to know wisdom in our inmost heart (see Psalm 51:6). We desire to know the truth because the truth will set us free. Help us, Father, to walk in love toward each other. Amen.

Who I Am In Christ Bible Study Indianapolis

Mighty Women of God!

Our study for this semester will begin in 2 weeks on Thursday, Jan 21@ 7pm. We will continue to lay a solid biblical foundation by utilizing a devotional written by Neil T. Anderson titled “Who I Am In Christ”.

You may purchase this book through your local Christian book store or www.ficm.org (Freedom In Christ Ministries) for $14.99. I also located used books thru Amazon for $6.00+tax. Although owning a book for the study is not necessary, I highly recommend it in order to benefit the fullness from the study. It is an excellent book!

Here is a deeper understanding of what we will gain from this study of God’s Word:

Have you ever been tempted to doubt God’s love for you? Do you spend much of your life trying to earn God’s favor? Do you struggle with feelings of rejection or the approval of others?

The most important belief we posses is true knowledge of who God is and we are as His children. We will always consistently behave in a way that is consistent with how we perceive ourselves, whether this perception is based off of deceptions formed by our previous pain and heartache or the Word of God. It is not what we do that determines who we are. It is who we are that determines what we do.

Henry Ford put it this way…“Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right.” Your thoughts about yourself, good or bad, will determine your life.

Gods Word clearly speaks this Truth in Proverbs 23:7. “For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” If we do not have a revelation of our identity, acceptance, security, and significance in Christ we will never be able to live that free, abundant, overflowing life, filled with joy and purpose destined by God!

Ladies, it is time to rise up, discover our position through revelation of His Word, and take our position in Christ! Lets thrive, not just survive!

Come join the girls as we embark on a journey together to walk in His Freedom and purpose!

Please let me know if you will be joining us this semester. Please invite friends, this is a foundation study for anyone. Look forward to seeing you!

Blessings,

Cassy VanZant
