P.U.S.H – Pray Until Something Happens

Beloved,

This letter comes to you with a strong sense of burden on my spirit to call
your attention to some imperatives that you cannot take for granted in 2009.

In spite of the promise that God's Word holds for the contemporary Christian
in our generation, those who are not prophetically postured and prepared to
face the perils of these times will fall victim to diabolical attack. Child of
God, do you know that you can experience 100% victory in every conflict with
the enemy 100% of the time? Nevertheless, there is an important condition:
you must be properly prepared!!! That is why as God's servant, I am sounding
the alarm. Prepare yourself now, as you have never been prepared before.

Are you irritated during church service time?

Are you bored when it is church service time?

Are you occupied with other things, or your watch during church service time?

Are you excited about coming to church?

Do you feel agitated, vexed or provoked?

Do you feel weak sometimes?

Do you go for days without fasting and praying on your own?

Do you nag and scream at your children and use your hand on them out of
anger?

Are you insensitive to the needs of people around you/your family, workers
and friends?

It is a sign that your flesh has the upper hand in your life. Whenever the
children of Israel rose up to eat and drink, they rose up to play, and went in
to arguments and strife and sinned. Don't take these symptoms for Granted.
Satan is on your case. You are prime target for him in the year 2008. As you
procrastinate and put until tomorrow what you must do today, the enemy is
buying time to disorganise and weaken you, little by little, to a point where
you are completely neutralized (Pro. 24:33-34).
He has no power over your will, so by your will you can make a decision to win
and take GIANT strides with God in 2008.Call upon the Blood of Jesus, and
hold on to the horns of the altar for spiritual revitalization in the year
2008. Ask for the quickening of the Holy Ghost for your spirit, soul and body.
Declare in the name of Jesus; new beginnings and that old things are passed
away and all things have become new. Declare in the name of Jesus; the snare
is broken and you have escaped. Pray that the Blood will avail for the
negligence and the ignorance of the people of God. May God spare His leaders
and may they not fall prey to the spirit of death and destruction.

I pray for you that God will make you strong in Him and in the power of His
might. May He teach your hands to war a good warfare, and make your feet
like hind's feet. May God remember you and avenge you of all negative forces
and entities. I need you now more than ever. I believe that standing together
as one, we can Pray Until Something Happens, and reach lost souls for Christ
as we advance the kingdom of our God and His Christ.

bosom of their children after them the Great, the Mighty God, whose name is
the LORD of hosts. You are great in counsel and mighty in work, for Your eyes
are open to all the ways of the sons of men, to give everyone according to his
ways and according to the fruit of his doings .You have set signs and wonders
in the land of Egypt, to this day, and in Israel and among other men; and You
have made Yourself a name, as it is this day.. You have brought Your people
Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and wonders, with a strong hand and
an outstretched arm, and with great terror; You have given them this land, of

descendants also would have been like the sand, And the offspring of your
body like the grains of sand; His name would not have been cut off Nor

Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.

Mic 4:12-13

but they do not know the thoughts of the LORD, Nor do they understand His
counsel; For He will gather them like sheaves to the threshing floor. “ Arise

Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying, Let us go up against
Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the
midst of it, even the son of Tabeal: Thus saith the Lord GOD, it shall not
stand, neither shall it come to pass For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the
head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim

stubble.

wisdom, integrity, protection and guidance and an awareness of God's presence
in their hearts and mind.

1 Corinthians 3: 18 20
Let no man deceive himself, if any man among you seemeth to be wise in this
world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise .For the wisdom of this
world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their
own craftiness. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that
they are vain.

hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able
to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and
height To know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be
filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly

children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit[a]is in all goodness,
righteousness, and truth), Finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And
have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose
them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them
in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for
whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore He says: “ Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.”

ridges abundantly, You settle its furrows; You make it soft with showers, You
bless its growth You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip
with abundance

greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the
faith

breeches caused amongst the people

For Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed
for Thessalonica Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. Only Luke is with
me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for ministry. And
Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus. Bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at
Troas when you come and the books, especially the parchments. Alexander the
coppersmith did me much harm. May the Lord repay him according to his works

God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of
Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and
carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning
craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive. But speaking the truth in love,
may grow up into him all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the
whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint
supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part,
maketh increase of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying
of itself in love.

This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as
other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind. Having the understanding
darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is
in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Who being past feeling have
given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with
greediness.

Ephesians 5: 1-4

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as

Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a
sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour. But fornication, and all
uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as
becometh saints Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are
not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

the earth. Bind the ministry of the accuser in our midst and release the

through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

member of the congregation. The Revelation gifts: the word of Knowledge, the
word of wisdom and the discerning of spirits. The power gifts: Gifts of healing,
working of miracles and gifts of faith and the vocal gifts: prophecy, different
kinds of tongues and interpretation of tongues. Pray for divine insight and
foresight, dreams, visions and revelations from God.

1 Timothy 4: 14-15

much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask

through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same

humble spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of
the contrite ones. For I will not contend forever, Nor will I always be angry;
For the spirit would fail before Me, And the souls which I have made. For the
iniquity of his covetousness I was angry and struck him; I hid and was angry,
And he went on backsliding in the way of his heart. I have seen his ways, and
will heal him; I will also lead him, And restore comforts to him And to his
mourners.“I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace to him who is far off and
to him who is near,” Says the LORD, “And I will heal him.”But the wicked are

it hey salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners; the
LORD fulfill all thy petitions. Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed;
he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right

food from afar. She also rises while it is yet night, And provides food for her
household, And a portion for her maidservants. She considers a field and buys
it; From her profits she plants a vineyard. She girds herself with strength,
and strengthens her arms. She perceives that her merchandise is good, And her
lamp does not go out by night. She stretches out her hands to the distaff, And
her hand holds the spindle; She extends her hand to the poor, Yes, she
reaches out her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of snow for her
household, For all her household is clothed with scarlet. She makes tapestry
for herself; Her clothing is fine linen and purple Her husband is known in the
gates, When he sits among the elders of the land. She makes linen garments
and sells them, And supplies sashes for the merchants..Strength and honor
are her clothing; She shall rejoice in time to come. She opens her mouth
with wisdom, And on her tongue is the law of kindness. She watches over the
ways of her household, And does note at the bread of idleness Her children
rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her:“Many
daughters have done well, But you excel them all.”Charm is deceitful and
beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised .Give

putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which
is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in

women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto
their own husbands :Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose
daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any
amazement. Pray for singles (men and women)To be concerned with the things
God and to be perfect His will.

please her husband.

deceitful plotting.

down to the earth, As a lion is eager to tear his prey, And like a young lion
lurking in secret places. Arise, O LORD, Confront him, cast him down; Deliver
