Turn Away and Pray 8/20/24

Welcome to Turn Away and Pray Tuesday, I am Jennifer Murphy and I am honored to usher you into the presence of God through prayer. Also, to reinforce our prayers on Tuesday we join together as believers in a corporate fast sacrificing natural food for spiritual enrichment during a specified time. You can join the fast 6am-12noon, 6am-3pm, or 6am-6pm. The discpline of fasting not only enhances your sensitivity to the the things of God but it releases the anointing, the favor and blessings of God.

Bracing for Impact

Psalm 19:7–11 (LEB)

The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving life.

The testimony of Lord is firm, making wise the simple.

The precepts of Lord are right, making the heart rejoice.

The command of Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.

The fear of Lord is pure, enduring forever.

The laws of Lord are true; they are righteous altogether,

more desirable than gold, even much fine gold;

and sweeter than honey, even honey in the honeycomb.

Moreover, your servant is warned by them;

in keeping them there is great reward.

How many of you know that the Lord’s law is perfect, restoring the soul? Do you understand that his thoughts towards us are good and not evil to give us hope and a future? See, there are many Christians that live life walking on egg shells as if God is on the throne waiting for us to mess up. His word tells us that with lovingkindness has he drawn us and with an undieing love, he loves us. His thoughts towards us are good my sister, my brother. He’s a loving God, who desires your obedience to his word so that you can access the promises which are Yes and Amen. So as we enter into His gates with Thanksgiving this morning and his courts with praise, I want you to brace yourself for the impact of His presence. See, I have a spirit of expectancy this morning, I want to encounter the King of Glory this morning. Come on, let’s begin to worship Him, let’s worship him in spirit and in truth. That means, rid yourself of distractions, and begin to speak well of the God who works miracles, who makes the darkness light, who turns bitter into better, come on the way maker, the promise Keeper, the able God, God our Father, Our Shepperd and we shall not want. We honor you, we honor your presence and we say welcome. Welcome Holy Spirit, welcome into our hearts, into our homes, into this prayer today. We make room for you, we say have your way. King of Glory, shine the light from heaven, if there’s anything that displeases you, that seperates us from you and your will, that hinders our walk with you, we ask that you remove it now. We want to be found faithful today. We want clean hands and pure hearts today, we want your glory to revive us today and set us up for the blessing that makes rich and add no sorrow. Hallelujah lamb of God, Hallelujah Holy One, come on worship this morning. He inhabits the praises of His people, he dwells where there is praise! Come on, if you are one of His and have gathered here today, He wants to hear from you. Come on and shake off the sleep, and engage with your Father, you are the true and Living God, Our Father in heaven, honorable is your name, you are high and lifted up and worthy to be praised. There is no above you, and none besides, you. Gracious God, you are all togehter lovely and faithful to your children. Your word tells us that if we call upon your name, you will answer. So we call you Jesus, Master, Savior, Our Redeemer, Our Healer, Jesus the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, Jehovah God! We say Jireh, you are enough! Jireh, You are enough! Over and over again, you have proven yourself and we gather together to say Hallelujah, to say Thank you Jesus. Thank you for waking us up this morning, thank you for starting us on our way, Thank you for the activity of our limbs…come on just begin thank him. Thank you Lord for breathing the breath of life into our lungs today. You are the one who loved us with an unfailing love and we say Thank you Jesus. Beautiful Savior, sometimes you just got to let him know how much you appreciate the way that He loved you. You couldve been dead, you could’ve lost it all, but you are still here on purpose for a purpose and God told me to remind you this morning Brace yourself for Impact. The impact of his glory, he’s doing a new thing and now it shall spring forth, he’s making a way in the wilderness and rivers in the dessert. Come on and open your mouth and release your sound. What do you need our Father in heaven to do today. Release your sound, and brace yourself for the impact of His presence. His word is lamp unto our feet and a light unto our pathway and he is speaking to us this morning, When we desire him and his will and keep his law, great is our reward. Some of us have been waiting on the reward of the Lord, and I encourage you today…don’t stop waiting. For they that wait upon the Lord, He shall renew your strength, you will mount up on wings as eagles, you will run and not get weary, you will walk and not faint. The spirit of the living God is sweeping over your soul today, you wil not faint. You will run and not get weary, you will walk and not faint. Your mounting up on eagles wings, so that you can soar above your circumstance. God said not only will you soar, but you will have the ability to see further and not be side swiped by the enemy. Your spiritual vision is being enhanced in his presence. Tell him “Enhance my spiritual sight” you need Keen sight in this next season because the enemy will come in like a flood but the Lord will lift up a standard. We need to be abel to identify the standard that has been lifted. Come on say it again “Lord enhance my spiritual sight” Come on press in, press in to his glory and be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Old things must pass away and behold all things become new. I need the new. Come on tell the Lord “I need the new” This is your time of refreshing, your time of renewal. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but you Lord delivers us out of them all. Some of my brothers and sister listening right now need your deliverance, need your touch, meet them right where they are, as they lay at your feet today may they experience your divine visitation, a fresh wind, a new oil, the power of your Holy Ghost. Let them release anguish in your presence, let them release the fears that have entrapped them in your presence, release anxiety, and depression that imprisons them in your presence. Holy Spirit permeate every home, every soul under the sound of my voice that they may experience you on another level today. May the eyes of their understanding be open and that they receive all that you have for them. Welcome Holy Spirit, speak to us, move upon us, teach us, guide us, align us in the name of Jesus. I bind the yoke of disobedience and the spirit of rebellion off of you and your bloodline, and I loose spirits of obedience and submission to the will of God. You will no longer wander in the wilderness while the promise land is waiting. You will not long for the things you lost, for God is saying I will restore the years! Joel 2:25-27 that the swarming locust have eaten, the grasshopper has destroyed

Joel 2:25–27 (LEB)

I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten, the cankerworm and the catepillar and the palmerworm. My great army which I sent among you. And you shall eat plenty and be satisfied and praise the name of the Lord your God. And my people will never be ashamed.

Come on if you need restoration,just stretch your hands towards heaven and say “Restore Me Lord” come on ask and it shall be given “Restore Me Lord, Restore my marriage, restore my friendships, restore my children, restore my finances, restore my ideas, restore my drive, restore my ambition, come on go deeper, restore my love for you Lord, restore my love for those that are hurting and lost, restore my passion for your kingdom to come and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, Restore Me Lord. I can’t do it in my own strength I need you to Restore Me. That’s good place to pour out, Hallelujah, Hallelujah Lord, as your daughters are pouring out Lord, as your sons are laying it all at your feet, Drench them in your presence Lord, align their desires with your desires for them. He said you will find him, when you seek me with your whole heart. Come on this time say it from your heart and brace yourself to experience his restoration. “Restore Me Lord”, as you are restoring me, send your restoring power to my children, give them a desire to serve you, a desire to seek you and your presence. Captivate their hearts and their minds, in a world that is showing them so much self-gratifying practices, cover them and bring them to your feet. We war from our children today, all over this country and we speak life over them, we command the hand of the enemy to loose your hold off our seed. Loose your hold off of their dreams, loose your hold off thier minds, loose your hold off their determination. We bind every oppressive and depressive spirit and cast you to the pits of hell. Every foul and perverse spirit that attempts to entrap them and cause addictive behavior we bind you up and loose spirits of love, peace, joy and sound minds. Our children will know the Lord’s voice and a stranger they will not follow. I appropriate your blood over their ear gates, their eye gates, their heart gate and decree no weapon formed will prosper they are the head and not the tail, they are above and not beneath, they are the Lord’s beloved children and they will submit to his ways. We cover our families today, we will identify the sin that has ran ramp-ped in our homes and will bind it up and loose the spirit of the living God. We as parents will submit to the King Glory and show forth his marvelous works so that our children will come into alignment. We will no longer operate under the power of satanic devices because Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. Come on, tap into the greater.

Mount up on wings like an eagel. It’s time to take your rightful place and know that God is backing you. His words tells us that goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives. Come on goodness and mercy is following you, as you follow Christ, goodness and mercy has your back! We accelerate in the spirit and we proclaim that we will “Eat in plenty and Never be ashamed” this is God’s word! His words is quick and powerful and sharper than any two edge sword. We need to decree it and believe it, to cut down anything that doesn’t represent Life! Come on decree it out of your mouth. The fruit of my womb is blessed, my children are a reward from God, blessed is the man who’s home is full of them. Some of us are raising other people’s children, teaching other people’s children, mentoring other people’s children, it’s your call, keep going, it’s your call keep pouring! God is renewing your strength. His promise is to deliver you when you call upon His name. His promise is to give you the desires of your heart, His promise is to bless you indeed and enlarge your territory. His promise is to be the lifter up of your head. His promise is to heal the hurting and bless the broken. His promise is to never leave us nor forake us. So take him at his word this morning. Brace yourself for the impact of his glory on your life! Brace yourself for the Impact of his power! Allow his presence to renew you, his presence to fill you, his presence to restore you and his presence to strengthen you.

Wait on the Lord and be of good courage, and he will strengthen your heart. Wait I say on the Lord. He will not suffer your foot to be moved. Whatever you sow, that will you also reap. He is not slack concerning his promises. He will deliver, he will deliver! I’ve never seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging for bread. Come on and embrace his presence, in his presence is the fullness of Joy and pleasures forever more. When you are in the presence of a faithful God, you can make your request known. The more seasoned saints would say “he may not come when you want him but he will be there right on time” He’s here and he wants you to know that you are loved by him. As you continue to open up to receive from him I want you to set your mind on one thing you need God to do, I know many of us have more than one thing, but I am going to test your faith this morning, to get one thing in your mind that if God don’t do it, it will put you in a difficult place. Lord you have heard the request of your people, your word said in Matthew 18:19

Matthew 18:19 LEB

Again, truly I say to you that if two of you agree on earth about any matter that they ask, it will be done for them from my Father who is in heaven.

As your intercessor, I stand in agreement with my brothers and my sisters that their request be heard and answered today by you my Father who in heaven. You are true to your word and it never returns void. So we praise you in advance for what you’ve already done. Come on, put a praise on it! If you believe that God cannot lie, if you believe that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. I’m excited for the testimonies that will follow this prayer today. I thank you God for showing up and showing out in our lives. We brace ourselves for the impact of your glory. Keep us and Cover us until we meet again. In your son Jesus’ name. Amen and Amen.
