I am determined to focus in prayer to get some things done so today I am implementing Zari Banks’ 24 Hour Breakthrough Prayer strategy once again. This time, I am doing it not just for my own deliverance but also for some others who I am agreeing with for total breakthrough this week. As I began, the Lord began to show me how I am perfectly positioned to receive from Him.
Sidenote: you have probably noticed that I mention Zari Banks a whole lot on my site, in my blogs, on social media etc. The truth is, Zari’s teachings have impacted me more than any other teachings over the last 18 months of my life (and counting). She has partnered with me in prayer several times for my healing and deliverance and she’s an amazing person. I tithe and sow into her ministry regularly because it is important to give honor where it is due. That may be challenging for some, but when God provides someone to facilitate your training, healing, and deliverance, you better show some appreciation and make an investment if you expect to receive anything from that relationship. If you haven’t gone to any of her websites yet, I urge you to do it today. www.ZariBanks.co is the hub where you can access all of her amazingness.
Anyway I was decreeing some things in faith on behalf of me and my friends a little while ago, then praying the Word of God over us and by the time I was done I was weeping because of the full realization that I only have the right to claim these scriptures for my life because God has redeemed me and rescued me from my own wicked ways.
For example, I prayed Deuteronomy 28:13 which states, “And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail, you shall be above only and not beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.”
There is an amazing blessing contained in that verse but there is also a condition: “if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.” There was a time in my life when I could have never dared to claim the blessing in that verse because I was not even trying to fulfill the conditional requirement. I was tired of not having what I wanted so I decided to take it by any means necessary. I was rebellious, angry, even wreckless at times.
I am so thankful that God did not leave me in that condition but gave me chance after chance to come to Him and allow Him to cleanse me and deliver me. There is no way I could have abandoned my sinful lifestyle on my own. I was so dependent on the highs that it gave me, even though the lows were emotionally and spiritually devastating. It was only God’s Love and Mercy that continued to pursue me and draw me closer to Him until I began to want the same things He wants for my life. He has taken certain desires away and equipped me to resist other things that are not beneficial for me now.
He has positioned me to be eligible to receive the great and precious promises that exist in His Word so that I can come before Him boldly as His daughter, confess my sin, know that I am forgiven, and freely receive from Him.
Thank You Father, because I know it was Only You who transformed a runaway daughter into the woman I am today, who wants what You want for my life.
