The Miracle is Within Us

Proverbs 18:14 informs us that, “The spirit of a man sustains him in sickness, But as for a broken spirit, who can bear it?”  It is evident that a miracle is needed for the healing of this unseen dynamic of humanity. The Hebrew root of the word “bear” means to sustain, endure, and also implies forgiveness. We understand from scripture, and from personal experience, that only God can heal the spiritual wounds, which have been inflicted by this fallen world we live in. I Thessalonians 5:23 says; “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [that is, separate you from profane and vulgar things, make you pure and whole and undamaged—consecrated to Him—set apart for His purpose]; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept complete and [be found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Sometimes we need to separate ourselves, and do damage control. But we must start with changing our minds.

Our minds are synonymous to our souls, and are where our thoughts, will, and emotions originate from. But the spirit of man is his conscious, which we may not be aware of due to thoughts that are in our subconscious. It is the Lord who knows the subconscious, i.e., the thoughts and motives. (see Proverbs 16:2) We have heard of psychiatrists attempting to delve into the subconscious through hypnosis, but God does not need to use such tactics. Scripture tells us that, “The spirit (conscience) of man is the lamp of the Lord, Searching and examining all the innermost parts of his being” (Proverbs 20:27). God has the ability to move in the past, present, and future; providing that human will does not prevent Him. This is where we play our part in the miraculous. We must open our spirits to God through time spent with Him in prayer. The prayers of others are powerful and needed. However, it is our time with The Great Physician, The Counselor, and The Prince of Peace that brings healing to our spirits, and wholeness to our souls. This healing can only take place at an altar of prayer.

It is vital to our spiritual well-being to have a place of consecration, which may seem archaic to some in this present age of “anything goes,” but God says, “I am the Lord, and I change not.” The altar of daily prayer will push back the dark forces that are trying to draw many away from God, who should be our first love. There are many who are preaching “another Jesus,” and those who are coming with lying signs and wonders, preaching the deceivableness of sin. There will be “mock” healings of sicknesses, in order to, if possible, deceive the “very elect.” But, by their fruits, we will know them. There is no greater miracle than a changed mind, or a healed spirit, which is evident in a life that once was living in darkness, but now is walking in The Light. This is something that neither the antichrist nor the man of sin can counterfeit. Walking in The Light can be seen in the lives of those who take their problems to God. They have spiritual insight because they remain connected to the true vine. When the “little foxes” come to spoil the power and faith that comes from the love of God, they are able to rise above any fall that may result. The “eternal miracle” that lies within each one of us is dependent on staying connected to the “True Vine.” Prayer is the spiritual glue that holds everything together.

Prayer for Drawing from the Living Water

“Isaiah 12:3”

If we want to activate the power of the Spirit of God, we must use the motivation of “faith in the drawing love of God.” All power, all miracles, and all healing forces operate through the abiding love we draw from because faith worketh by love. We must operate under the love motives of God or we are not drawing from the wells of salvation. For the word “salvation” in Hebrew means “Yashua,” or as Apostolics refer to as “Jesus.” Therefore, with joy or with faith in His love we draw power, strength and miracles from the wells of Jesus.

If we practice consistent faith in this kind of drawing, we release the kingdom of Jesus to others. Too often believers draw from many other motivations to perform Apostolic ministries. For example:

• Some are faithful in ministry out of duty and obligation. They are workaholics not doing what they do from an abiding attitude with the Spirit of God.
• Others are driven by a perfectionist attitude … striving for perfection with an obsession to not fail at any cost. On the outside they are impressive, but on the inside they are not drawing from the wells of Jesus. This leads to a controlling mentality. God always judges motives.
• Others are driven by the need to be accepted as the main motive of ministry service.

GOD SEEKS INTERCESSORS AND SAINTS WHO WITH JOY AND LOVE DRAW THE HOLY GHOST OUT FOR KINGDOM MANIFESTATION!

Now the desire of obedience is from the motive and drawing of the love for Jesus in prayer. Jesus asserts Himself as this, drawing living water to the woman at the well in John 4:6-14. This drawing love will release this woman’s bondage and strongholds if she draws from Jesus.

As a top priority …

• Fasting, sacrifice and giving are motivated by the drawing of joy and love from the wells of Jesus.
• This purifies our inner man. We experience transformation with this kind of motive.
• We mortify the deeds of the flesh by this kind of drawing.
• For perfect love casts out all fear.
• We follow holiness and we uphold doctrine because with joy and love we draw water out of the wells of Jesus, for He is our salvation.

Pray for:

1.    Preachers to preach truth and doctrine with conviction and with the great love of Calvary for the healing of the people.

2.    God to heal wounded intercessors with this love so they can return to the battlefield.

3.    God to unite Churches and preachers with greater unity from such intercessory love.

4.    An outpouring of miracles to spring forth with this overwhelming love in our youth groups.

5.    Preachers’ wives to find cleansing and healing from the battlefield they are facing.

6.    End-time prophesy to be released in the five-fold ministry from this well drawing the love of Jesus.

7.    A revelation of drawing love to produce the spirit of judgment and conviction in our evangelistic preaching.

The World Network of Prayer Presents 

24/7 WATCH: A Year-Round Initiative for 24/7 Prayer

As of January 1, 2023, WNOP has continued the 24/7 prayer and fasting chain worldwide. It has been such a great success in 2022 that it was requested again. Each week WNOP is posting a prayer focus as daily prayer for the entire week. Also, weekly a video is posted on the WNOP Facebook Page of a prayer leader and/or minister leading in periodic prayer.

Many people throughout the world have signed up by committing in their hearts unto God that they will consistently join together in united prayer and fasting. WNOP also has partnered with those in local churches who are already a part of a current 24-hour prayer chain. All of these hours of consecration are culminating to help provide a complete mass prayer covering over the entire Church body and to help bring greater success in all that we do in Christ! Together, let’s “watch and pray” and behold great and mighty things in the kingdom of God! Let’s prevail over the enemy with victory and declare, “Not on My Watch!”
