Women Who Pray

The Great Commission!!!

Known it since childhood!!!  Asked God to choose me!!!!   To send me!!!!

Decided that I must me a Home Missionary…since HE didn’t send me!!!!

You know what I like about being older…and I do like being older!!!  I’m not wanting to look younger or feel younger or be younger!

Been there and done that!!!

Younger for me was much more foolish!! Much whinier!!! Much more unsure of myself!!

Now, I know why that is!

I was more foolish until I began spending my time with the Wise ONE!! El Elyon!!! Until I learned to abide (to live) in the Secret Place…instead of occasionally finding my way there.

I was whinier because I felt like I didn’t measure up…too much and not enough!!! If what I thought was perfect was not going on with me and those I cared about, I whined!  I didn’t know the perfecter would perfect me in all counts that He wanted perfected and not where He wanted me and all of you (those around me) to remain the same.

I was unsure of myself because I didn’t Trust that my Creator…my Potter…knew exactly what He was doing all the time.  I needed only rest in Him!

I love that I can say each day, “WOW!!!!” and mean it!!!! I’m wowed everyday by my friend…and what a friend my JESUS is to me!!!  Closer than any brother!!! or any other relationship I have.  He loves me just as I am!!!

Terrrrrriiiiiiiiffffffffffiiiiiiicccccccc!!!!!

Don’t you love that today a writer can just write!!! Blogging is great for allowing emotions to flood pages…it is like free verse is to the poet!!! Wooo Hooooo!!!!!

Well, today, preacher Teddi…and I do mean that just like I’m saying it…is afire!!!!!

Teacher Teddi will try to give this some order but the preacher in me is on fire to let you know that it’s not as hard as we make it!

So, let’s begin here with Go Ye Therefore!!!!

Matthew 28: 19-20 reads:

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost…

Amazing time we are living in! The bad is gettinworse…chaos…havoc…unruliness…anger…

Sin abounding everywhere! We of the elders…hard to believe that I’m there…well we are finding that no one wants our advice.

We are finding that our voices are fainter…and our bodies are weaker…even if we walk, run, stretch, eat correctly…we still are not like we were.

Our bodies must be built up everyday…and it takes longer to do everything…

It’s very important to  take care of these bodies…because they are the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Emotionally most people are drained by the end of the day…so much coming at us every single day!

What is so amazing though…at least it is to those of us who have spent time in prayer and Bible Study…those of us who have spent time in the Secret Place of the Most High…is that we find it easier to operate in the Spiritual realm.

We no longer have to call a fast…or make our bodies or minds behave…or obey…we simply listen and move exactly when God says.

We no longer have to make resolutions or give things up at lent that torments us…we simply worship Him in all His Holiness.

It really is not about us.  John was so wonderful to tell us this and James…and Paul…and David…Peter too! and all those following Yaweh!

Jesus in us the hope of glory I knew a long time before I began walking in it.

I used to have to get ready…now I stay ready…

I never take my armor off…

That doesn’t mean I don’t veer but if even a toe or a hair is out from under my protective covering…all chaos breaks loose.

My covering is my husband. If I was unmarried it would be my father.

I could preach all about submission…or subordination…but that’s not what it is about. It is the order of power…it is the place of protection.

Very clearly our military understands submission…for the Commander in Chief even has 4 different levels of generals alone…4 star…3…2…and 1.

Then there is the Full Bird Colonel…and the Lieutenant Colonel…and on down the line to the private.

Big deal if they do not salute their superior officer.

If our families understood that the person with the highest rank had the most responsibility God…just like the 4 star general has more responsibility to keep all below him in order to the Commander in Chief, they would operate much smoother.

We can’t keep God’s commandments that he gave Moses…for if we break one we break them all.

However, God said if we love Him with all our hearts, souls and minds…and we love our neighbor (anyone else) as ourselves…then we have fulfilled the law.  The law of GRACE…LOVE…the law Believers are set free to do.

Amazing when we realize the Grace God has given me…the unmerited…totally undeserved Grace that He’s given me is a gift that I can share with all that He gives me…my husband, children, sisters, nieces, nephews…friends…and even those that hate me.

Love is the same…I don’t have to love only those who love me…though that’s the easiest…I can love them to life! I mean I can love them because they are God’s child or will be if I love them in prayer…that lifts up Jesus which draws all of them.

I’m walking in an amazing place…I have a sister and a cousin…prayer warriors…who are under attack…and the God in me is at peace that He that knows tomorrow has brought me into such a peaceful place tonight.

There are many people praying…my sister is an evangelist…with so many she has won  going to be there with us in Heaven. We are expecting You LORD to deliver her today…because each day is Today. We’re not promised tomorrow…and it never comes anyway. Such a God thing!

My cousin witnesses the power of God in her suffering…she is such a blessing to all around her. Both of these women I am so blessed to have as relatives…and as sisters in the family of God.

Praying for a niece

Father, we pray that we may fear You according to Your Word: for there is no want to us who fear You. The young lions do lack and suffer hunger, but we who seek You will not be in want of any good thing. We pray that we honor You with our capital and sufficiency from righteous labors, and with the first fruits of all our income, in order that our storage places may be filled with plenty, and our vats be overflowing with new wine. (Proverbs 3: 9, 10 AMP)

Father, we pray we will bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in Your house. We pray that we will test You now in this matter to see if You will not open for us the windows of heaven, and pour out for us a blessing until there is no more need or room. Then You will rebuke the devourer for us, so that he may not destroy the fruits of the ground; nor will our vine in the field cast its fruit. And all will call us blessed, for we shall be a delightful land. (Malachi 3: 10-12 KJV/NAS)

Father, we pray that as we give, it will be given to us; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, it will pour into our laps. For whatever measure we deal out to others, it will be dealt to us in return. (Luke 6:38)

So, Father, we pray we sow bountifully in order to reap bountifully. May we give as we have purposed in our hearts, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for You love a cheerful giver. And You are able to make all grace abound to us, that always having all sufficiency in everything, we may have an abundance for every good deed. As it is written, “He scattered abroad. He gave to the poor, His righteousness abides forever.” Thank You, Father, You Who supply seed to the sower and bread for food, will supply and multiply our seed for sowing and increase the harvest of our righteousness. You will enrich us in everything for all liberality. (2 Corinthians 9: 6-11a)

Thank You, Father that Jesus came that we might have life, and that we might have it more abundantly. Thank You, Father, for supplying every need of ours according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus. For every good thing bestowed and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from You, Father of lights, with Whom there is no variation, or shifting shadow. (James 1:17) (Philippians 4: 19) (John 10: 10b KJV)

Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, may we let our minds dwell on these things.

We allow you to create in us a clean heart, Holy Father, and to renew in us a steadfast spirit. We ask that the spirit of the Lord rest upon us – the spirit of wisdom and understanding, counsel and might and strength, the spirit of knowledge and of the reverential and obedient fear of the Lord. We pray that we ever be continually filled with the Holy Spirit and the fruit that the Holy Spirit produces: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

We pray that we walk and live habitually in the Holy Spirit, responsive to, controlled and guided and led by the Holy Spirit, so that we will not gratify or carry out the craving and desires of the flesh, and not be subject to or come under the law.

We pray unceasingly for ourselves and all of our tent that we be filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That we walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness.

Father of glory, You have given to us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in our knowing Jesus. The eyes of our understanding have been enlightened in order that we know the hope of our calling, the riches of the glory of His inheritance in us, and the exceeding greatness of His power toward us His saints – the true believers– according to the working of His mighty power that He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the Heavenly places.

Jesus, our Lord, sits far above all principality and power and might and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. God, our Father, has put all things under Jesus’ feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to us – the Church – which is His body, the fullness of Jesus who fills all in all. We trust You, Lord, with all our hearts, and we lean not to our own understanding. We acknowledge You in all our ways, and You will direct our paths. We trust in You in order that loving kindness and mercy surround us. We will not trust in man or make flesh our strength – for the joy of the Lord is our strength! We will continue in the Faith firmly established and not be moved from the gospel – the good news!

We will abide vitally united to You so that Your words will remain in and continue to live in our hearts, so that we may ask whatever we will and it shall be done for us. For You have called us and chosen us that we might go and bring forth much fruit, and keep on bearing – birthing and travailing – lasting, remaining, abiding fruit – even into old age, Lord – that You may be honored and glorified – and that we may show and prove ourselves to be true followers and disciples of Yours!

Our goal to reach the 10/40 window better known in the Bible as the uttermost and certainly the most unreached nations in the earth began in 2013 when we went to India. A lovely woman of God in India caught up with us after we returned to America. Since then we now have 34 churches with 28 pastors on staff of Women Who Pray Ministry India and our prayer blanket is in 9 languages besides English. We are also in Africa…Uganda, Kenya, and Liberia…and moving to more everyday.… We are in the Philippines and Pakistan…and will begin in October in Dubai UAE.

**Praying For America

During my commission to go forth, the following words were spoken over me and this ministry (Women of Pray):

There are many women who are waiting to hear the call from you to come and pray. Call for the cunning women. Send for the mourning women to come and join in the time of prayer to prepare for battle. This — what God has called you to do — is to prepare people to enter into a time of prayer where they can be consistent, dependable, and faithful. He has called them to do such a thing as to go through the Word and some prayer books with the Word, and, then, for an hour to prove themselves, and they sometimes don’t understand the importance of it. They get tired of it, and they don’t see why they ought to keep doing the same old thing all the time — but God says, It’s to prove something. It they can follow His instruction — if they can do what He says over and over even when sometimes they don’t see results — the Lord says, He will bring them to a place where their voice will be heard throughout the nations — even during the time of prayer — that it won’t just be heard by the other intercessors that are on the line with them — but their voice will go out as they begin to pray, and as they begin to proclaim the Word in prayer — that the enemy will hear it even in the heavenlies because the devil resides in a place in the heavenlies. The principalities and the powers — the rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness — will hear the prayers of those that are training, saith God!

Truly, it is boot camp! It is getting up early. It’s enduring when you are tired and when you are sleepy. It is boot camp! It is getting up when you don’t feel like getting up. It is praying when you don’t feel like praying, saith God. It is boot camp, but they will be ready to fight on the front line. Those that fall aside — those who couldn’t hang in there — they can’t go to the front line because we’ll be defeated if they go to the front line because they won’t be able to stay awake one hour. They won’t be able to endure an hour, so don’t think anything about having to be a tough sergeant at times. Be a drill sergeant when you need to be. Rebuke when you need to. Reprove when you need to be ready to obey God! I have anointed your ears and you do hear Me — and you do not question as to why I want you to do it — you just do it! You will see blessings, blessings, blessings saith the Lord. The sound that goes forth will be a clarion call — beyond what you would expect the normal range of a sound to be because it will not only be heard here but in the heavenlies — announcing and proclaiming that the women are up and praying, that they are there and are going to stand, and that they are going to cause a change to take place. It is cause and effect! The sound goes forth, and the effect of it will change the very nature and course of things that are taking place here on earth. 

Thank You LORD for Your Clarion Call! Amen and Amen.

Father, we lift up the older women LORD in Your Body who have been given the assignment to teach the younger women. So many of us just do not know how to pray and have our prayers answered. We confess that we have so much need all around us and that our nurturing nature is getting us into the pits our dear loved ones are in.

As wives Father we are continuing to acclimate to our new roles…caused by the canges of seasons, age and circumstances. Some of us are the same age as our husbands and as we are aging together …with hearing loss and with eyes waning…and new aches and pains as these bodies age…and we are frustrated with our husbands and frankly LORD ourselves. We don’t have those same needs we had as early lovers but we still need affection. Some of us need hugs while others of us need just a quiet nod of approval. Then’s there are those of us with quite an age difference…we may be dealing with an elderly husband while we are still full of energy and goals. Some of us are dealing with a sick husband…or a depressed husband…or…well LORD there are so many scenarios.

Some of us have become widows before we ever thought possible…maybe due to the fact that our husband was older…or sick. Others of us have lost our husbands suddenly with no warning. Here too are many scenarios.

Many of us women Father have children…all ages of children…and anywhere from 1-7 children. Some of us had them very early so we have grands that are older…and many of us had our last babies later in life…here too what a multitude of plights we women face.

I mean LORD that when we sing We Need You …We Do Need You! You are the ONLY ONE who can aid us…who can carry us through…so we pray this morning for…we wives, mothers, sisters, daughters, grandmothers, aunts, nieces, granddaughters…and doesn’t it just go on and on. We also pray for we friends and mentors and disciplers.

Father may we seek first Your Kingdom and take our assignment from You. We are in covenant with You. May we stop struggling with all that we cannot do and do what we can!

PRAYER is what we can do! Remind us LORD as Beth Moore has given us these words:

We are not in control! We cannot control all our people! We cannot control our situation! Even when we want what is best, we cannot control the outcome! We cannot make people behave! We cannot make people believe! We cannot make people be strong! Because we are not GOD!!! God alone knows the end from the beginning! He alone knows how this thing will turn out. We hereby fire ourselves from His job!…and we agreeto see our fight for control as what it really is…a screaming testimony to our distrust!

Thank You LORD for cleansing us of all our sins…not just the ones that we were saved out of…but the ones that have come along as we walk with you daily. The enemy wants our joy and he comes to steal, kill and destroy it daily…even hourly it seems sometimes. Out of each battle where we’ve seen victory…may we stay in our whole armor and not let the enemy come to cause us to stumble! When we are offended we are stumbling…forgive we women for needing to be nurtured, loved, and hugged and cared for…and allowing that need to cause us to be unnurturing, unloving, not huggable and uncaring. Forgive us for allowing rejection that we received…be transferred from us back to that person and/or others…and for causing us to reject ourselves.

May we take the wisdom from our mentors to stay focused on the goal. We are running a race …and we are not racing against each other for we are all in this race to win…and receive the victor’s crown! And then we are to lay it at His feet.

Thank You LORD for birthing this prayer in me…as my mentor Germaine…said You Pray it Teddi! It’s not my assignment!

Woooooo Hooooooooo!!!!!!

What a Mighty God we serve! Here is a powerful song…anointed from on High…for demolishing cancer…our enemy! Thank You LORD for Darlene’s testimony that cancer is not of God and that she hates cancer! I join her and sing and dance with her and all her orchestra…and all the people in the place…and all of you who join us as we tromp on our enemy cancer…that is under our feet!! Woo Hoo!!!

Now, pray with me this prayer that God has given us to pray against cancer!

As we join together…one of us chases 1000…and 2 of us chases 10,000 and…3 chase 100,000…4 chase 1,000,000 and on and on! I love God’s multiplication!

How many can we chase as we join in one voice!! Glorrryyyy!!!!!

Thank You, Father, for sending Your Word, the Lord Jesus, and healing us and delivering us from our destruction! We give You thanks for Your loving kindness, and for Your wonders to the sons of men!We bring to You all requests and petitions for healing – believing that You – Jehovah Rophe – are our healer!

Father, we your mothers, sisters, daughters, grandmothers, aunts, nieces, granddaughters…all the women in our tent…stand in the gap for all our tent!

We confess our sin as wives for not obeying Your WORD…the lamp unto our feet and the light unto our path. Forgive us wives for refusing to submit unto our own husbands as to You LORD! Thank You we are the Forgiven!

We confess all unforgiveness that has kept us bound from receiving answers to our prayers! We loose ourselves from all that besets us! We refuse to be offended! We wall in forgiveness because we are the Forgiven! We give Grace to all whether they deserve it or not…because of the Grace that has been given us!

Father may we seek first Your Kingdom and take our assignment from You! We are in covenant with You! May we stop struggling with all that we cannot do and do what we can! We can PRAY! We can PRAISE! We can shout and we can dance! PRAYER is what we can do!

We declare that we are not in control! We cannot control all our people! We cannot control our situation! Even when we want what is best, we cannot control the outcome! We cannot make people behave! We cannot make people believe! We cannot make people be strong! Because we are not You!!! You alone LORD know the end! We fire ourselves from Your job LORD!

You will perfect that which concerns us! We are running a race…and we are not racing against each other for we are all in this race to win…and receive the victor’s crown! And then we are to lay it at Your feet.

Thank You LORD for Germaine’s admonishment to pray this prayer for women!

Father we pray healing for every household of the Family of God! We pray healing for every Church of the Family of God!

Forgive our husbands also LORD for not loving their wives as Christ loves the Church! Thank You we are the Forgiven!

Forgive us Your children and our children and children’s children for not obeying…honoring… our parents as they followed You LORD! Thank You we are the Forgiven!

Now LORD we arise as the older women and we teach the younger women to love their husbands and their children according to You LORD! You are the WORD! Men arising as heads of households! Women rising as submissive women!

No more unanswered prayer for our families! We renounce disobedience to Your plan for the family LORD! We the remnant in the Church who go forth in Your Name in these End Times to take Your Gospel to the Ends of the Earth…well, we just plain let go of what besets us and we go forth in Your Name!

There’s been such a mess in our families and therefore the Family of God that we have not known the Way much less led the Way! We begin this day no more giving ourselves any excuse!

We the Forgiven march forward in Forgiveness…North, South, East and West!

Blessed are we because we walk not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of the scornful. Our delight is in Your law, and in Your law do we meditate day and night. We are like trees planted by the rivers of water that bring forth our fruit in season. Our leaves do not wither and whatever we do prospers! Great peace have we who love Your law and nothing causes us to stumble! We hunger and thirst after righteousness!

As we go forth with JOY…saturated from our head to our feet…depositing JOY everywhere we place our feet…our blessed feet!!!…we are strong and courageous! We do not fear! Our enemy comes out against us one way and flees before us seven ways.

We abide in You LORD bearing fruit into old age! We are known by our LOVE for the brethren!! Gloooorrrrrryyyyyyy!!!! We have broken free into Your glorious liberty!

As You taught your disciples how to pray, Lord, we – Your disciples in this day – pray – Our Father, Who art in Heaven – Hallowed be Thy Name! Today we hallow Your Name…

Sur or Petra – Rock (the foundation of the church, place of safety from any storm, stumblingstone to the world)

Forgive us our trespasses, Lord AS we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory – forever and ever!

Bless us like Jabez, LORD! Bless us indeed! Enlarge our territory!! Keep Your hand upon us, LORD, and keep us from the evil one, that we not cause pain or be in pain.
