RISE UP, BELOVED OF GOD!
SPEAK the heart of the Father in all circumstances!
Take your stand as WARRIORS IN THE SPIRIT and watch the LORD move in POWER and LOVE through your prayers!

GET READY for the Lord to stretch forth His Hand and heal and deliver through YOU!
RISE UP, BELOVED OF GOD!
Pray for all people…and for all of those in authority! (1 Timothy 2:1). May God bless you, my friends, and may God bless America!! 🥰
“This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.” 1 John 5:14-15 NASB
Prayer works! Prayer makes a difference! May we never take it for granted, but may we see it for what it is. Prayer is our communication with Almighty God AND it is His communication with us.
We should always be praying with an open heart and a listening ear as we position ourselves to hear from our Lord and pray HIS will and desire for every situation. Praying HIS will and not our own is what will result in answered prayer.
As a follow-up to prayer, we may be called to declare and decree God’s Word out loud over a situation or over a place. We are God’s voice on the earth!! He uses us to PRAY His will, to SPEAK His will, and to DO His will!! HALLELUJAH!!
Father God, what a blessing to be able to join You in holy conversation! What a joy to be in Your presence and hear Your voice! Oh Lord! Help us to speak Your will boldly and with the authority You have given us!! May Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven! In Jesus’ Name! AMEN!! ~~Tina K. Roach
All of a sudden I noticed a small bird (wren?) on the potted plant (Rose of Sharon) outside my bedroom window a few minutes ago. It was hopping from branch to branch and even hopping on the window sill. This was atypical behavior and I grabbed my iPhone and was drawn closer to take a photo.
As I drew closer to the window, I saw what was drawing the attention of the wren — a snake slithering up the side of the brick by the window!! I then noticed my cardinals flying closer…perching on a nearby plant trellis.
It was interesting to me that the snake drew their attention and they came closer. Why? Was it because my back patio is where they get their food and they were ready to defend it if the snake encroached on their place of sustenance?
One thing is for sure, my feathered friends noticed something was where it shouldn’t have been. Something that they weren’t letting out of their sight!
I pray that we are as vigilant in our being Watchmen over our families, churches, and communities. May we see any encroaching danger and give the alarm and take a stand against it!!
God be with you today as you allow the Lord to use you to defend His territory!!
As I was speaking before a room of Lay Servants and Pastors a week ago, I found myself declaring, “God is calling us back to the prayer closet!”
It was a moment of feeling the heart of God and His desire to connect with us on a more intimate level…His desire to have one-on-one time with us without interruptions.
It is important not to forget the times of drawing near to God away from the crowd. Our public prayers are an overflow of our private prayers…..our public ministry is an overflow of our ministry unto the Lord.
All effective ministry flows out of our relationship with God. It’s time to be more proactive and committed to strengthening our relationship with Almighty God!!
“Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you…”. James 4:8 ESV
I have been thinking of this Scripture a lot lately. A lot has been happening in my life and I have come to the realization of how important friends are in helping me to accomplish God’s will in my life.
I don’t mean just the friendship and fellowship I enjoy with my Brothers and Sisters in Christ. And that is very special to me. But, I mean the importance of those people that I consider the “Aaron and Hurs” in my life.
I pray that everyone has those prayer warriors that will stand on either side of you and help you “hold your arms up” as you battle and press through until you achieve what the Lord is calling you to do during this time. Moses held the staff of God in his hand. I believe he had God’s anointing and authority to win the battle…but he needed help to achieve victory.
I am so humbled as I have seen the Lord place one and then another beside me as I need the extra support to be obedient in His plans for me. I can feel their prayers and support holding me up when I begin to feel weak and overwhelmed. I can feel their strength added to mine as I battle those forces that would try and stop God’s will from being manifested in my life.
Brothers and Sisters! We ALL need to join together as the Body of Christ and support and strengthen each other through the power of the Holy Spirit! God’s strength is multiplied as we come together in love and unity to bring about His will and purpose upon this earth. Battles are won as we line-up side by side, arms linked, focusing on the Lord and His plans for the moment. Let’s not get so caught up in the “big picture” that we miss what He wants us to achieve in the next moment! As we face each battle together…walking under the Lord’s Banner…we will see VICTORY!! Hallelujah!
I humbly say “Thank you” to all those that are my “Aaron and Hurs.” I can’t do it without you…
And I pray that I can be YOUR Aaron and Hur as the Lord uses you to achieve VICTORY in His kingdom!
Reflection of Glory!
