Reaching God Through Prayer

As we read today's encouraging word on the power of our prayers to God, realize that we do have the atomic power to break down the enemy's encampment, take back what he has stolen from us, and, as Dr. Cindy Trimm states here, "...achieve our goals in accelerated fashion..."

God is talking to us, and in this season we are encouraged to blast through to hear him, using prayer and fasting together like never before. As the article states, "...This is a season which you should be reinforcing your prayer life with fasting. Prayers that are released by faith and through fasting are like missiles..." Read on and be encouraged to break through to God.

Cindy Trimm: "The Atomic Power of Prayer"

In this season, your prayers will also cause acceleration. You will receive supernatural empowerment to accomplish many things, to progress, to advance and to achieve your goals in an accelerated fashion. What would normally take you a year to accomplish, God will supernaturally allow you to accomplish in a month.

Nehemiah, through prayer, rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem in record breaking time. Get ready to break some records and to defy odds. I encourage you to continue to bombard Heaven with breakthrough prayers. Let them explode like atomic bombs within the enemy's camp.

I decree and declare that you will experience breakthrough shortly. Do not give up on your dreams. Your worst days are behind you. Your best days and blessed days lay ahead of you. Indeed the best is yet to come. I decree that as you break through, your glass ceilings will become wooden floors.

Fasting and Prayer Activate Us

This is a season which you should be reinforcing your prayer life with fasting. Prayers that are released by faith and through fasting are like missiles and take on the form of spiritual atomic bombs, causing nuclear-type explosions in the realms of Heaven and Earth. Matthew 17:21 says, "Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting."

Blast your way into victory over the attacks of the enemy. Ascend into the realm of power. The higher you go in God, the more dangerous you become to the enemy. As you pray, show no mercy to the enemy and take no prisoners! Lift your voice and unleash the atomic power of prayer.

The atomic bomb began as a concept and idea. Einstein postulated that if the atom is split, it would create tremendous exponential energy. Like an atomic bomb, God's power has been split between Heaven and Earth. While He maintains power over the heavens, according to Psalm 115:13-16, He has given man power and dominion over the earth realm.

Psalm 115:13-16 clearly states, "He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great. The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. Ye are blessed of the LORD which made Heaven and Earth. The Heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the Earth hath he given to the children of men."

Prayer is one of the ways this power is activated. Bombard the heavens and use it as a spiritual nuclear weapon against the enemy. Religion has held all the power within the pulpit. But in this season, the power will be split between the pulpit and the pew. We are about to experience spiritual nuclear explosions with:

· Miracle fall-outs

· Deliverance fall-outs

· Healing fall-outs

· Prosperity fall-outs

· Family deliverance fall-outs

· Salvation fall-outs

· Breakthrough fall-outs

Blast Your Way into Victory

I have been blessed to befriend Einstein's grandson who continues his family's legacy of research. I declare that as you implement your prayer strategy, you will leave a legacy of prayer that is perpetuated for generations to come. Breakthrough has to be pursued. You must prevail over territorial spirits in order to possess your possessions.

In the book of 2 Samuel 23:13-16, we read of David's quest to quench his thirst. He had a divine desire for that which God had prepared for him before the foundation of the world:

"And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines pitched in the valley of Rephaim. And David was then in an hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.

"And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate! And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David."

In this text, the enemies of David had set up a barricade to prevent him from getting what really belonged to him. His military generals broke through and blasted their way through barricades in order to confiscate that which belonged to David from the hands of the enemy.

This is a season when the Body of Christ will blast their way into victory. The enemy has illegally seized many of our possessions and must be made to give them back. He will not give them up until you demand it. You must learn how to pound at the gates of the enemy and demand that he gives up what he has stolen. He is a thief and must release what rightfully belongs to you. Tell the devil, "this is not a threat; I intend to use my atomic weapon of prayer."

Be encouraged. May the hand of God be upon you today and forever. As 1 Thessalonians 5:17 says, "Pray without ceasing!"

Intentional on God

As we attempt to hear God talking to each one of us, this word today illustrates another one of our requirements to be able to hear His voice.

We must be intentional, purposeful, with intent - about the things of God. "... Our foundation must be steadfast on the solid Rock and Chief Cornerstone, and when that is secure, we will act and not react when shifting circumstances occur in our lives..."

Read this word by Cindy McGill, and be encouraged as you hear, again, God's voice.

Cindy McGill: "We Must Be Intentional About the Things of God"

There seems to be some things God is directing us to pay close attention to. As times and seasons shift, we have a tendency to be anxious in our efforts to find clear direction. There are many things that would capture our attention and take us off on rabbit trails, going down paths that seem good, but we lose sight of the real focus which is Jesus. Our foundation must be steadfast on the solid Rock and Chief Cornerstone, and when that is secure, we will act and not react when shifting circumstances occur in our lives.

"This is what the Almighty LORD says: I am going to lay a rock in Zion, a rock that has been tested, a precious cornerstone, a solid foundation. Whoever believes [in Him] will not worry." Isaiah 28:16

We Must Be Intentional About Our Love

Our first heart tug is to love the Lord with all of our heart. This is elementary. If we first love the Lord, then other things won't capture our attention and uproot our anchor. From this place, every other thing flows. We cannot love others if we do not know how to love God. As we are intentional about learning to love God and spend time with Him, He instructs us and transforms our hearts to beat with His.

Many things are revealed to us when our focus on Him is first. Things become very clear and defined. When we submit to God, we can then resist the devil and he will run away from us (see James 4:7). The plans of the devil will not work out when our lives are submitted to God who is love and we are clearly handed the victory.

Secondly, we are to be intentional about our love for each other. When we purpose to love each other, it reflects the love of God to a world who is watching. It is the very DNA of the Kingdom of God.

We Must Be Intentional About Our Walk

We must be determined to walk the walk of faith. It is a most certain path that is ordered, bringing us into the very plan of God. We must train our eyes to see what God sees, our mouths to say what God says, our actions to do what God does and live a determined life of honor and preferring someone over ourselves.

Galatians 5:16 tells us that if we walk in the Spirit, we won't carry out the desire of the flesh. When things come up in our lives, we can learn to get God's view on the situation. We can ask God what He thinks and what His plan is for the very thing we are dealing with. We learn to live by the Spirit and not by the things we see. A focused, determined walk will give us open doors, increased anointing, favor, clear direction and make us visible lights in a dark world.

We Must Be Intentional About Our Prayers

Declarations have power. When we pray, believing what we pray with expectancy, God honors our prayers and He answers. Faith-filled prayers that line up with God's Word and plan can bring radical change to situations. God actually looks for these kind of prayers.

Second Chronicles 16:9 says, "For the eyes of the LORD move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His."

The authority Jesus gave us, when used in prayer, is unmatched in its transformational power. Spoken, declarative, faith-filled words have creative power. Power to heal, deliver, resurrect, loose, bind, create, prophesy and provide avenues for God's will to be done here on earth like in Heaven. Glory and heavenly manifestations accompany such prayers.

We Must Be Intentional About Our Unity

We must choose to gather ourselves together in unity to pray, eat together, share truths, worship and live our lives. The early Church did this very thing in Acts 2:41-47, and God did mighty signs and wonders in their midst and added to the Church daily those who were being saved.

"So then, those who had received His word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls. They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles.

"And all those who had believed were together and had all things in common; and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need. Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved." Acts 2:41-47

It is refreshing when we can all live together in unity of heart and spirit. When we can let down the walls, drop offenses, and choose a heart of gladness and simplicity. The whole atmosphere changes when tensions cease and we choose to love each other. The fact is, none of us know it all. Only God knows it all, and when we humble ourselves and come together in unity, it creates an atmosphere where God will command His blessing (see Psalm 133).

We Must Be Intentional About Our Worship

We are created to worship. Our spirits cry out to worship the One who is so worthy to be worshipped. As we enter a worship time, if we will prepare our hearts to fully surrender to the Lord in worship, our lives are transformed with revelation light. Our worship is breath to God and it is where He chooses to make His address (see Psalm 22).

When we worship God with all of our hearts, it is revolutionary. Divine exchanges take place and our hearts are softened and healed. Anger, bitterness, hurt, depression and the like have to leave when we are in a place of true worship. Deep calls unto deep and our spirits connect with the Holy Spirit. We discover more clearly what we are designed for and our love for Him increases as He pours His love back on us.

Worship is essential for growth in God and our spiritual walk. To the degree we fully abandon ourselves to worship God, we find true freedom from all kinds of heaviness and bondages that try and keep us imprisoned. Someone once said, "We become like the thing we worship." Let's worship God and become like Him.

We Must Be Intentional To Live in the Peace of God

The God of peace crushes satan beneath our feet (see Romans 16:20). Peace will lead us and guide us safely. The only real peace we have is our assurance that God is in complete control. God said He would keep us in perfect peace when our minds are fixed on Him (see Isaiah 26:3). Peace is a major weapon of our warfare. Being anxious for nothing, we can fully trust that God who started a work in us is certainly able to complete it (see Philippians 1:6).

"Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10

These may be uncertain times, but God is with us and on our side. There are more with us than those who are against us. If God is for us and fights our battles, then we don't need to fight the torment of fear. Staying in peace and trust delivers a great relief and allows us to keep our focus.

There is much to do in the days ahead. It's truly the Church's finest hour. People are searching for answers and we possess the ANSWER, Jesus. Prodigals returning, people coming to know the Lord, healings, signs, wonders, fresh revelation, mysteries being revealed, new visitations from Heaven are all a part of the coming days.

Let's remain INTENTIONAL in purpose as these new days approach.

Bless ya,

Cindy McGill
