Warriors Arise: May 25, 2021
You all are so gracious! Nobody told me that my day of the month was off. After posting yesterday's prayer blog I realized I was on the wrong date. I remember thinking how cool it was that the day of the series was only 10 off from the day of the month. So, we are back to current date. I'm not skipping today because this may be your day, the revelation you need for what is going on in your life today.
Ezekiel 37:9-10 (NKJV) Also He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” ’ ” 10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.
What was dead is now alive because of one breath. There are times when I stop right where I am, close my eyes, and position myself before God. In that moment, it is as if I am in a bubble. I do not allow what is going on around me to distract me. I need to be in the presence of God. Once I focus being in God's presence, I take a slow, deliberate breath. I let my lungs fill and intentionally breathe out. In my mind, I picture God and allow His breath to breathe on me. The peace of God comes over me and ministers to every fiber of my being. My mind is steadied and the tension in my body is melting away. I may be in the midst of an argument and that moment everything changes in me. My kids have witnessed this over and over. When my eyes close they know the situation is about to change. They know Mom isn't finished. They know they can't leave because we aren't done. Some realize in that particular moment the argument is over and the situation will be dealt with and resolved.
Years ago, God spoke very clearly to me, "When you allow the conflict to lead to an argument you and they have lost. When it reaches the point of being a heated argument the enemy has won. Stay in control. Stick to the facts. Seek to get the situation resolved." Sometimes Holy Spirit will remind me of this right in the middle of a heated argument. I will close my eyes, take a deep, penetrating breath and allow the peace of God to saturate my being. A couple of years ago I was in an argument with Josiah and I did this. "Mom, that is so freaky! How can you be so mad and then in a moment you are calm and steady. Even the color on your face changed and your eyes are not hard." I shared with him what I am sharing with you today. It doesn't take a moment to breathe in the breath of God and be changed. He also knew at that point, the argument was over and we would resolve the issue. The devil was not going to get the win. God would win; therefore, we would win. He has given each of us a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Father, I position myself before You. No matter what is going on right now, I seek You and allow You peace to saturate every fiber of my beings. At this moment, I take a breath and breathe in Your perfect peace. Your peace is what allows me to think clearly, to see the situation from Your perspective and follow Your lead. I release all stress and anxiety to You. I will be anxious for nothing because You hear my prayers and make a way for Your will to be done. You desire is to bring people together, unified, supporting, and encouraging one another. I will keep my mind on You and live in perfect peace. You speak to my mind, settle my thoughts and release tension from my body. I receive Your breath in Jesus' name amen.
A Warrior in the Lord’s Army,
