A Message from Bishop Eddie L. Long We are in the Year of Jubilee! It is our Year of Freedom!! We have

entered into a “set time” with God when we can expect

unprecedented grace and favor.

God’s desire is for the earth to be restored to its original intent. That

is why He sent Jesus who came to restore that which was lost. We

celebrate Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection, but please remember

that when He ascended, Jesus gave power and authority to the

Church. Now we have the ability to be “restorers” to bring order

through our God-given dominion.

During the 50 days following Jesus’ resurrection, His followers journeyed on The Road to

Pentecost. They joined together in unity in the Upper Room. In the power of the Holy Spirit,

they reclaimed the order of God in the midst of chaotic times. People of all nationalities would

feel the impact of their decision to set themselves apart with the Lord, consecrate themselves

for His service, and expect the manifestation of His might.

Likewise, it is of great importance that we take time to corporately agree with fasting and

prayer as we stand together in this season. We must come together in agreement, ready to

move with the Lord in His power as He shifts the nations and establishes Kingdom order in the

earth. It is not by might nor by power that these things will happen—but by the Spirit of the

Lord.

As we pray together over these next fifty days, expect the Spirit of the Lord to shift you into

deeper relationship with Him, shift your priorities, shift your thoughts, words, actions and

habits. Expect your purpose to become clearer and look for new opportunities to fulfill your

Kingdom assignment. The impact of the modern church hinges on our ability to be relevant, so

be intentional about these areas of focus:

Invasion: Enter the world’s conversation.

Infiltration: Be a part of the culture.

Institution: Develop systems that bring change, development and discipleship.

My prayer for each of you is that you move closer to God as we journey together over the next

50 days. Be blessed in the Lord and remember that your next—is now!

Amazed by His grace,

Bishop Eddie L. Long

And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15

The Road to Pentecost Guide

The Year of Jubilee

Every seventh year was a "Sabbatical Year" for the nation, when the land was allowed to rest; and every

fiftieth year (after seven Sabbaticals) was set apart as the "Year of Jubilee."

This year we have identified a focus for each week during our Journey to Pentecost. And since this is the

year of Jubilee, all of our focus is on God restoring to His people—what the enemy has tried to deny:

Restoration of our Kingdom Authority and Power – Days 1-7 (March 27 – April 2, 2016)

Restoration of our Kingdom Influence – Days 8-14 (April 3 – 9, 2016)

Restoration of our Families – Days 15-21 (April 10 – 16, 2016)

Restoration of our Health – Days 22-28 (April 17 – 23, 2016)

Restoration of our Wealth – Days 29-35 (April 24 – 30, 2016)

Restoration of our Innovative Ideas and Creativity – Days 36-42 (May 1 – 7, 2016)

Restoration of our Godly Wisdom – Days 43-49 (May 8 – 14, 2016)

Celebration of Jubilee – Day 50 (May 15, 2016)

Our focus will allow us to operate corporately, unified in our supplications to the Lord. In this

Consecration Guide, on each day there are specific biblical verses and meditational thoughts that are

presented for your times of meditation.

Also, at the end of each week, there is an opportunity to study further in each of the areas that are

identified. We encourage you to embrace these elements as tools to take you deeper into the Word and

the Will of God during your personal journey.

At the end of our journey, we will all celebrate the greatness that is our God and all that He has restored

to us during this time of consecration. Please, take this time to get all that God has for you along this

Road to Pentecost.

Fasting Instructions

The Road to Pentecost requires a time of focus and along with prayer and meditating on God’s

Word. To aid our focus and consecration, we will have periods of fasting as noted below:

Week 1-2: 14 days – Positive Words Fast – no negative words

Week 3-4: 14 days – Media/Social Media Fast – limit media and social media

Week 5-6: 14 days – Daniel Fast – avoid meats and sweets

Week 7: 8 days – Partial Fast – no food from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eat one meal after 6:00 p.m.

Week 1: Restoration of Our Kingdom Authority & Power–Days 1-7 March 27 – April 2, 2016

Day 1: His Image Fits! In order to understand the Kingdom Authority and Power we have, we must first understand who we really are. Often, whether with family or in the marketplace—or even based on what is being presented in the media or on television; we find ourselves laboring to discover who we are. It is easy to rely on those images to conclude that those images are us. No, instead, our true identity and position is clarified through Genesis 1:26. That is, we were made in the image of God and our likeness resembles Him. And, because we were made in His image; our position is with Him: we have dominion! What a simplistic and amazing truth! God created us to be uniquely powerful in a likeness that He created. DECLARATION: We declare we are identified with Christ. We are created in His Image and Likeness and walk in His Dominion! Truly His Image Fits!

Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.

Genesis 1:26 NKJV

8 | P a g e

Day 2: Raised With His Power Now that we understand who we are, now it’s

time to understand the ability God has given us.

We were raised to fulfill a greater purpose in our

lives. And, no matter what the past was, or even

what it may look like at this very moment; it still

does not compare to the definite greater

purpose God has for us. Restoring our Kingdom

Authority and Power means demonstrating His

Power in us! He raised us with His Power to fulfill His Purpose. And, when we do this, all who witness

will only see Him. It is the Lord that will be declared in the earth when they see Power and Purpose in

action in us. Indeed, we were raised to declare the Kingdom Authority and Power in every area of our

lives. PRAYER: Father, we thank You for raising us with Your Power and Purpose to demonstrate and

fulfill in the earth. We thank You so much for your power. In Jesus Name we pray, Amen!

Day 3: An Authorized Fight Our Kingdom Power and Authority gives us the

ability to fight off everything the enemy tries to

do to us. We may never have to fight off any

actual serpents or scorpions but, the serpent is

revealed as one who exploits or betrays trust

and has a poisonous sting. Either one of these

instances in any form will come to fight us, to get

us off focus and utterly try to destroy us–but

they can’t! Why? Because we have authority over them that we must not take lightly. It’s not a small

thing–rather, it is a fact through His Word. At times, we wonder why God would authorize the fight to

take place. But God wants to remind us of the power we already have. No matter how intense the

fight is, it shall not affect us–because WE WIN EVERYTIME! DECLARATION: We declare and decree we

are winners through every fight–In Jesus Name!!!

Day 4: Be, Fill and Do! Through His Word, God gives clear instructions

for how we are to walk in our Kingdom Authority

and Power. Although, we know there are times

when we become stagnant and get caught up

with where to begin, instead of just stepping out

in faith, the text says we are to be fruitful and

multiply. Just imagine, if we produce love and

then multiply more love or produce a consistent

prayer life and multiply with others to pray more–how awesome is that! And the list is endless. Next,

we are to fill the earth and have dominion. Let’s fill the earth with grace, mercy and peace. But, check

this out, we are to have Dominion. Notice the first two letters of this word is Do. One of the word

meanings for Dominion is Authority! Praise God!!! PRAYER: Father, we Thank You for clarifying with

us our role in our Kingdom Authority and Power. We will BE, FILL and DO in Jesus Name! Amen!

But indeed for this purpose I have raised you up,

that I may show My power in you, and that My

name may be declared in all the earth.

Exodus 9:16 NKJV

Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Luke 10:19 NKJV

Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

Genesis 1:28 NKJV

9 | P a g e

Day 5: Now Really…Who IS? Sometimes while we are in a moment of

meditation there are other influences that try to

get our attention and even make us think they

are too big to be handled. Our scripture for

today reminds us that God is, He is our Rock,

Strength, Power and it is He who makes our way

perfect. God makes our feet like the feet of deer.

Why deer feet? Because, deer have great leaping

ability, being able to jump 8 feet into the air! And just like the feet of deer can be set on high places:

SO IT IS FOR US!!! So, let’s ask ourselves who is greater than the Kingdom, Authority and Power we

already have? Now Really…Who IS? No one but GOD! DECLARATION: We declare and decree that we

have great leaping ability over every obstacle that tries to distract our time with you. We declare and

decree that we are focused on our high place of Kingdom Authority and Power! AND IT IS SO!

Day 6: Don’t Bring It Up… ANYMORE! Our Kingdom Authority and Power is restored!

Now is not the time to give the accuser any

opportunity to play with our thoughts or

emotions. We say enough is ENOUGH! Our text

reminds us that as a result of Salvation, the

Power and the Kingdom Authority we possess,

we can no longer be accused by the enemy.

Even the things the enemy keeps trying to bring

up—it’s cast out in Jesus Name! Those things have no substance and have nothing to do with our now!

It is done! PRAYER: Father, we bless and honor you and with our voice in this very moment we say

we will not bring up anything that tries to derail our birthright to walk In Kingdom Authority and

Power!!! Today and every day we know without hesitation it has been cast out of our mind and heart!

We are free because you already freed us! In Jesus Name–Amen!

Day 7: IT IS SO!!! Our Kingdom Authority and Power gives us the

right to speak it, say it and proclaim it. Now it is

time to manifest what we know, what we have

learned during our communing time with Him.

We must be consistent in our posture to speak

of His Glory, His Power, His works in our lives

and His Majesty! His Authority not only endures

for us but also the generations now and

thereafter. DECLARATION: We declare and decree this is a set time of being on this Road to Pentecost.

We thank You Lord for your teaching and redemptive revelation of the Kingdom Authority and Power

we have. We declare and decree we will stay in this proper place and not be caught up, confused or

disjointed by what You who are Sovereign already proclaimed in our lives. We just don’t own, but we

possess the Kingdom Authority and Power to stay in Your Image and Likeness, to take Authority, be

the Winner and to live out Your Purposes with Power. IT IS SO! In Jesus Name! Amen!

For who is God, except the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God? God is my strength and power, And He makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of deer, And sets me on my high places.

2 Samuel 22:32-34

…I heard a strong (loud) voice in heaven, saying, Now it has come the salvation and the power and the kingdom (the dominion, the reign) of our God, and the power (the sovereignty, the authority) of His Christ (the Messiah); for the accuser of our brethren, he who keeps bringing before our God charges against them day and night, has been cast out!

Revelation 12:10 AMP

In the beginning God created the heavens and

the earth. The earth was without form, and

void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.

And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face

of the waters.

Psalm 145 11-13 AMP

Going Deeper in The Lord’s Restoration of Our Kingdom Authority and Power Although we have a plan to read verses on specific days to encourage us in our process to restore the

Kingdom Authority and Power God has given us, now we will take a deeper look into the Word of God.

Interestingly, this period of meditation and reflection is not only pushing us to saturate ourselves but also

to become wiser in representing our lives in this manner. As we read the additional scriptures listed

below, note the points on: “What Kingdom, Authority and Power is—and what it is not” and what it means

for us to operate in Kingdom Authority and Power?” It’s ALL in His Word. So…Let’s Go Deeper!

Day 1: What is Kingdom Authority and Power? Romans 14:17 (NKJV) - For the Kingdom of God is not

eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Please note the text states

the kingdom of God is not an outward thing but rather an inward factor. The Kingdom of God is a

conscious decision that requires us to demonstrate righteousness, peace and joy. When we operate in

righteousness, peace and joy we are representing Kingdom Authority and Power.

Day 2: 1 Corinthians 4:20 (NKJV) - For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power. When we look at

the definition for the word power, we will find the following: the ability to do something or act in a

particular way, especially as a faculty of quality. Here are other words in conjunction with power: ability,

capacity, capability, potential, faculty and competence (notice the intense tone in each of these words).

Our Kingdom Authority and Power is not mere words – its power. And that power means everything in our

lives we have the ability, capacity, potential, faculty and competence to succeed in, to conquer and

complete.

Day 3: 2 Peter 1:3 (NKJV) - as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and

godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue. Because He gave us His

divine power we have all things that are connected to life, godliness and knowledge of who He is.

Day 4: What Kingdom Authority and Power is not! Luke 17:21(NKJV) - The kingdom of God does not

come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is

within you. Our Kingdom Authority and Power is not something we can see or locate for directional

purposes. Instead, it’s inside of us! All we have to do is look…inside of ourselves. Now, that’s Kingdom

Authority and Power!

Day 5: Restoring Our Kingdom Authority and Power means we possess certain abilities: Matthew 12:28

(NKJV) -But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.

Surely, we possess the ability to cast out demons and surely when we do…the kingdom of God has come

upon us.

Day 6: Matthew 6:13 (NKJV) And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For

Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Restoring our Kingdom Authority and

Power is not going to come without a fight, some pressure and distractions. The evil one wants us to stay

stuck and will do everything possible to ensure we are stuck. We have to fight. The Greater One inside of

us who is fighting for us and with us is all we need! And guess what?!? YES...WE WIN!!!

Day 7: The Restoration of Our Kingdom Authority and Power Means We First Take Action Matthew

6:33 (NKJV) - But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be

added to you. First things first is the seeking of the kingdom of God. In order for us to become people of

action; we have to become people who seek the kingdom of God first. Today and everyday let’s arise and

live the manifestation of this scripture.

Week 2: Restoration of our Kingdom Influence – Days 8-14 April 3 – 9, 2016

Day 8: The Kingdom Proclaimed Do you struggle at times with what to say and how to say it? St. Francis of Assissi said, “Wherever you go, preach Christ, and if necessary, use words.” This reminds us that in just showing up, true followers of Christ demonstrate His character and have a positive impact in spheres of influence. Increasingly today, one must also speak up and declare. Obediently show up and speak up, as the Holy Spirit directs. Having the mind of Christ means asking, receiving and declaring what “the Father says.” Paul influenced attitudes and behaviors of Corinthian believers by resolving to “make a display of the knowledge of nothing except Jesus Christ and Him crucified . . .” (I Corinthians 2:2). Paul spoke Godly wisdom as set forth by the power of the Holy Spirit, “not the wisdom of this age.” Declare God’s wisdom; His Word only will accomplish all that He has spoken! DECLARATION: Father, we receive the mind of Christ and declare Your words over our lives, as Your Holy Spirit leads us into all truth—for your glory!

“Now we have received, not the spirit of the

world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we

might know the things that have been freely

given to us by God. These things we also

speak…”

I Corinthians 2:12-13a NKJV

13 | P a g e

Day 9: Personal Witness-Public Impact A postage stamp affixed to an envelope may

seem small in size, but carries great significance,

for without its presence and position the sealed

message cannot reach its destination.

Undoubtedly, the Samaritan woman could

never have imagined the impact of her personal

testimony. Meeting Jesus at Jacob’s well and

being set free sent her running to the village to

bear witness to the Truth. Like her, when the Lord reveals Himself and delivers us from a life of sin, we

too must surrender all, “go, and tell” the good news wherever God sends us. Our “stamped” life then

serves as a “living epistle” to win many to Christ! PRAYER: Abba, Father, Thank You for drawing us

to Your well of Living Water—which we have freely received, we freely give…in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Day 10: On Wings of Prayer Science’s “Butterfly Principle” says, in essence, a

butterfly flapping its wings on the African

Continent eventually affects weather on

California’s coast—thousands of miles away.

Similarly, prayers of the righteous are never

stuck; our “wings” not only affect earth’s realm

but also the heavenlies—two dimensions! As

“salt of the earth” and “light of the world,” our

prayers are relevant to earthly matters, for it takes heaven to bring all into order. Bishop Long has

declared, “God says, ‘There are certain situations I have made judgment on, that I will hear your plea.’”

That is kingdom influence! Our prayers influence the lives of those near and far—and generations yet

to come. Take time to intercede for individuals…families…also for nations. Flap your “prayer wings”

and expect favor with God and man! From our prayer closet, we affect the world for the kingdom!

PRAYER: Father, Thank You for the powerful gift of prayer. We take to “wings of prayer” according

to Your will, and mountains move! Amen.

Day 11: In Jesus’ Name Societal and workplace “name dropping” is

common among those seeking to rise to the top,

gain wealth, or exert power without paying the

price. This is not so in the Kingdom! As

bondservants of God, we have been “raised up

with Christ,” seated with Him on high, at the

right hand of God. We seek the things

above…“See things from His perspective and pursue those things over which Christ presides” (Colossians

3:1, 2 MSG). True and lasting influence comes from how we demonstrate the power of Jesus’ name

in Earth. Whether with family, on the job, in school or worship, every relationship thrives from being

our authentic selves in service to Christ: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working

for the Lord, not for human masters…It is the Lord Christ you are serving” (Colossians 3:23a, 24 NIV).

PRAYER: Father, Thank You for Jesus who already paid the price and You have given Him a Name

above all names. We lift it up!

“Many of the Samaritans from that village

committed themselves to him because of the

woman’s witness: ‘He knew all about the things I

did. He knows me inside and out!’”.

John 4:39 MSG

“Let me tell you why you are here. You’re here

to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-

flavors of this earth. If you lost your saltiness,

how will people taste godliness? You’ve lost

your usefulness and will end up in the garbage”.

Matthew 5:13-15 MSG

“Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord

and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you

will receive the reward of the inheritance; for

you serve the Lord Christ.”

Colossians 3:23-24 NKJV

14 | P a g e

Day 12: No Limits, No Boundaries! Glory to God; true authority is ours to speak His

word! Signs, wonders, and miracles manifest

daily in the earth. Testimonies abound—

evidence of prayers of faith and declarations

made in Jesus’ Name. The centurion knew his

influence was limited but recognized the

unlimited influence of the Word of God! No

boundaries can restrict the Living Word going

forth, by faith, from the believer’s mouth. “[God] sent His word and healed them, And delivered them

from their destructions” (Psalm 107:20). Watch and pray. Seek God’s will and act. Declare His Word

over all the earth: over war-torn areas, natural disasters, persecutions, illnesses, and poverty. Set no

limits on where to send The Word: “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows

and proclaims His handiwork” (Psalm 19:1). Saints of God must do no less! DECLARATION: Father, in

the Name of Jesus, we declare righteousness, peace and joy in the lives of Your people—near and

far!

Day 13: Water For the City A “death sentence” spoken to King Hezekiah

who lay on his sick bed caused him to “turn

about.” He wept bitterly before God for mercy

and reminded God of his years of faithful

service. Never underestimate the power of

prayer. Never underestimate the power of

God! God saw His servant’s heart, heard his cry,

and remembered His covenant—and turned it

around! Fifteen added years in the king’s life influenced life in an entire city: “Now the rest of the acts

. . . he made a pool and a tunnel and brought water into the city…?” (II Kings 20:20 NKJV). “The prayer

of a person living right with God is something powerful to be reckoned with” (James 5:16b MSG). When

God allows you to redeem time, it is to bless others, for His Name sake. Rejoice! DECLARATION:

Father, we will walk as wise servants redeeming the time, for the days are evil. In Jesus’ Name…

“The centurion answered and said, ‘Lord, I am not

worthy that You should come under my roof. But

only speak a word, and my servant will be healed”.

Matthew 8:8 NKJV

“Go back to Hezekiah…Tell him, ‘This is what the

LORD, the God of your ancestor David, says: I have

heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will

heal…restore…rescue…defend this city for my own

honor and for the sake of my servant David’”.

Day 14: Be Fruitful and Multiply! “Any family that does not bear fruit and multiply

will eventually disinherit themselves…no matter

who they are!” God blessed all that He created

to be fruitful and multiply, i.e., tree, fowl, fish—

all! Humans are born to multiply, thrive, subdue

and have dominion over everything—excluding

one another! Male, female alike, we are to lead

in our sphere of influence, family being the

greatest. We are to bear biological and spiritual children, think “generationally” and train them in the

“fear and admonition of the Lord.” God promised to make Abraham “exceedingly fruitful” among the

nations . . . “to be God to [him] and [his] descendants . . .” Pray for spiritual wisdom and revelation to

“tend your garden” . . . to know “the riches of the glory of His inheritance...” Generational blessings or

influences are born from obedience to God’s Word. DECLARATION: Father, in the Name of Jesus, Your

children will produce Godly seed in the earth, giving You glory, from generation to generation.

Amen.

“Then God blessed them, and God said to them,

‘Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and

subdue it; have dominion . . .’”

Genesis 1:28a NKJV

Going Deeper in The Lord’s Restoration of Our Kingdom Influence

“In the former account [which I prepared], O Theophilus, I made [a continuous report] dealing

with all the things which Jesus began to do and to teach. Until the day when He ascended,

after He through the Holy Spirit had instructed and commanded the apostles (special

messengers) whom He had chosen. To them also He showed Himself alive after His passion

(His suffering in the garden and on the cross) by [a series of] many convincing demonstrations

[unquestionable evidences and infallible proofs], appearing to them during forty days and

talking [to them] about the things of the kingdom of God” (Acts 1:1-3 AMP).

Jesus is alive, and He continues to reveal Himself through infallible proofs to us today! We

are His “world changers”; unlimited kingdom influence is ours, in the power of His Name. On

the Road to Pentecost, go deeper to discover ways the Holy Spirit shows us how to witness

of our Risen Savior and Lord.

Week 3: Restoration of our Families – Days 15-21 April 10 – 16, 2016

Day 15: Original Intent In our journey on The Road to Pentecost, we are declaring a restoration of the family. We look to God, our creator and reexamine the original intent of God in placing the family upon the earth. God spoke to Adam and Eve and told them to be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion. God also told Abram that through him all the families of the earth shall be blessed. God has laid out what each family should accomplish in the earth. We must ask ourselves as the family, are we ruling, subduing and having dominion in the world? DECLARATION: We declare a return of our families back into God’s Divine order. We call the family back into solid units according to Your original intent for our family. We speak a return to strong families. We speak a divine turnaround in the dismantling of the family and the attack on the family, in the Mighty Name of Jesus.

…a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

Genesis 2:24 NKJV

18 | P a g e

Day 16: A Message to Fathers God blessed Abraham because he obeyed

God’s commandments. There is no way to get

around this fact. God blesses obedience! God

desires to pour into those who are thirsty for

His Presence. Do you want to see your family

flourish in the midst of this harsh world? As

you increase your time speaking with God, He

will reveal the mysteries and destinies that lie

within YOUR bloodline. God will pour His Spirit on your descendants, and His blessing on your

offspring. God has a great desire to bless the family as a whole and pass down gifts and talents to each

generation through the teaching and influence of the father. DECLARATION: We declare each father

has a greater thirst for God, greater hearing and eyesight for the things of God for his family, and

long life because he obeys God’s commands. In the Precious Name of Jesus.

Day 17: A Message to Mothers A mother’s love goes the distance with her

family. The love of a mother transforms the

family and is powerful in being the “spiritual

glue” that holds the family together. A

praying mother is like a rare jewel keeping

Heaven’s blessings flowing into the family.

Trust, spiritual growth, good fruit, peace and

order in the home are just some of the

benefits of a mother who is rooted and grounded in God. We will see the Mighty Hand of the Lord

move on our behalf to restore the family. We stay in position as the under-girder of our husband and

children until God totally transforms the family. DECLARATION: We are taught from our youth to

declare Your wondrous deeds. When we are old and gray, we continue to declare your strength to

this generation and your power to all who come. We see our family restored and walking in victory.

In the Awesome Name of Jesus.

Day 18: A Message to Children God loves children. We love our children as

parents. God tells us that children are a gift

(heritage or inheritance) from the Lord, the

fruit of the womb—a reward! And if we obey

His commands, He will bless the offspring of

our womb. To get that blessing, God tells us

to train up a child in the way he should go, and

even when he is old he will not depart from it

(God’s training and His path). All throughout the Bible, God reminds us to teach our children God’s laws

and commandments. DECLARATION: We reverse disrespect from children to their parents. We speak

that our children prosper in the Lord, for they walk with God and speak with God. We return to

training up our children in the fear of the Lord with great miracles to follow. We declare that our

children have a greater understanding of the Lord. We declare that our children do great exploits

and walk in power. In the Wonderful Name of Jesus!

…that you may fear the Lord your God, to keep all His

statutes and His commandments which I commanded

you, and your son and your grandson, all the days of

your life, and that your days may be prolonged.

Deuteronomy 6:2 NKJV

Give ear, O my people, to my law; incline your

ears to the words of My mouth…we will not hide

the word from their children, telling the

generation to come the praises, strength and

wonderful works that the Lord has done.

Psalm 78: 1, 4 NKJV

Assemble the people to Me, that I may let them hear

My words so they may learn to fear (reverence) Me

all the days they live on the earth, and that they may

teach their children.

Deuteronomy 4:10b NKJV

19 | P a g e

Day 19: Spiritual Calling The Lord declares that one generation shall

praise Thy works to another, and shall declare

Thy mighty acts. God has revealed the

importance of equipping the next generation of

the body of Christ. We often overlook the fact

that the generations to come are called by

God—just as we received our calling from God!

Let us not fail to train up our sons and

daughters in the governmental order of God as apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers.

DECLARATION: Lord, we look at our children with Your eyes of understanding. Lord help us to see

clearly who You have called our children to be. Lord, God show us the gifting in our children as the

next generation of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, whether they be 7 months,

7 years, or 17 years of age. We declare a strengthening of our family because we teach and train our

children. In the Glorious Name of Jesus!

Day 20: Community As God restores the importance of the family

unit, the book of Numbers describes God as

asking Moses to number the males above 20

years old for an army. Each of the 12 tribes

consisted of families which had grown, into at

least 30,000 males, making up the

community. God is showing us His order for

the family because He gave the heads of

families the responsibility for handling the affairs of the community. God is showing us how order in

the family is powerful for advancing the Kingdom in the earth. As the family is solid and strong, our

communities are solid and stronger. DECLARATION: We understand the position, task and function

of the family. Our communities are intact, we are of one mind and we are united in the purpose of

God. Order, strength and vision are restored to the family. In the Powerful Name of Jesus.

Day 21: Return to God As fathers, mothers, and children we declare

a return to God’s purpose for how we are to

behave and relate to each other. We desire to

worship before our Holy God in Spirit and in

Truth. God is restoring the family unit,

therefore, we call our families back into God’s

divine order with the message of love and

hope. What does this look like? We establish

family prayer times, Bible study and vision setting for each family member. No one moves forward not

knowing what their purpose and destiny is on earth. God desires to make us into a mighty nation of

believers. DECLARATION: We call our fathers back into order as the head of families; we call our sons

and daughters back into God’s destiny for their lives. We do not forget the next generation, training

them up at a young age. We speak that our children are no longer wandering, lost without direction,

or the will to live. Lord, our communities are thriving! We thank God for the restoration of the family!

All the ends of the world shall remember and turn

to the Lord. And all the families of the nations shall

worship before You. For the kingdom is the Lord’s,

and He rules over the nations.

Psalm 22:27 NKJV

And He gave some as apostles, prophets, and some

as evangelists, and pastors, and teachers, for the

equipping of the saints for the work of service, to

the building up of the body of Christ.

Ephesians 4:11-12 NKJV

Take a census of all the congregation of the

children of Israel, by their families, by their

fathers’ houses…every male individually…all who

are able to go to war in Israel.

Numbers 1:2-3 NKJV

20 | P a g e

Going Deeper in The Lord’s Restoration of our Families

Are you prepared to see what God is doing in marriages? Get your eyes ready to see what a family

intact, unified, and called to their purpose, looks like. We are about to see young people restored to

their families. The prodigals are returning anointed and knowing their purpose. After the word of

God, the family is the foundation of the community and the church solidifies the community. As a

whole, the family unit makes strong churches. The churches unify having one mind to usher in God’s

Kingdom dominion here on earth. We are the living examples of the Word of God made in flesh

form.

God is advancing His Kingdom and this is good news. The following background scriptures are listed

for the family to declare together. The declaration of God’s Word gives us one mind, one vision and

causes us to create Glory. We are creating a mighty shift in the atmosphere over our families, homes

and then the communities we represent. This shift brings about revival and causes the angelic host to

move as God’s Word is released. Finally, in declaring the Word, the family is positioned into correct

alignment to receive the assignments, tasks, and ministry that God has preordained. The family

operates with clarity, and assurance as the Kingdom of God is being ushered into the earth realm.

Deuteronomy 11:8 declares that we shall keep every commandment which I command you today, that

you may be strong, and go in and possess the land which you cross over to possess. Let us meditate on

the words that we may be strong and go in and possess the land. We see the importance of each

person, knowing their role in the family, becoming trained and fully equipped. This is our time to

regroup, to be strengthened to rule, reign, subdue and have dominion.

Week 4: Restoration of our Health – Days 22-28 April 17 – 23, 2016

Day 22: Health is a Covenant Forever Notice in verse 25, “there He made for them a statute and an ordinance,” these words indicate more than a passing promise. This was to be a permanent covenant incorporated into the life of God’s people. There is no record that God ever rescinded this promise. In fact, He put one of His redemptive names, Jehovah Rapha, into this legal agreement; God said, “I am the Lord your Healer.” PRAYER: Almighty Father, You established healing as part of Your covenant to us forever. Father, You sit in complete Authority on your Throne. There is no danger of You falling off; no risk of You walking away; and no threat of You ever being usurped from your Throne. You are The Loving, All Powerful Father. Forgive us of sin and all doubt. We acknowledge You as Jehovah Raphe, The Lord Our Healer, and seek restoration of health and wholeness in the Mighty Name of Jesus.

There He made a statue and an ordinance for

them… I will put none of the diseases on you

which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am

the Lord who heals you.

Exodus 15:25b, 26a NKJV

22 | P a g e

Day 23: Health is My Birthright On Day 9, the Truth of His Word reveals that

healing is our birthright -- given at “birth” (i.e.

when one accepts Jesus as Lord and Savior); is the

“right” or privilege for health restoration.

PRAYER: I plead the Blood of Jesus over my

family and rebuke (i.e. stop) all infirmities,

sicknesses, diseases, curses and bondages

affecting my bloodline. Each are cursed at the

root (i.e. dry up, melt, dissolve) and cast out; never to return in the Mighty and Matchless Name of

Jesus.

Day 24: Health is a Promised Benefit Unfortunately, far too many view Our Father on

His Throne seeking every opportunity to zap us for

mistakes. This could not be further from the

Truth. He knew us before birth and knows every

possible sin, mistake and supposed failure that

can occur. Yet, in love He gave His Only Son who

remains the only way to Our Father. Jesus as “The

Way” enables all to receive forgiveness, mercy

and lovingkindness by grace. Grace is the FREE, unmerited favor that cannot be earned. Simply believe,

then receive grace. Next, replace sin-consciousness with a God-is-Love consciousness. PRAYER: Thank

You Father for Your healing grace. I could never earn it. The Blood, shed on my behalf, remains ever

powerful to redeem, deliver and heal. Help me to focus on Your Truth. Help me to keep Truth in my

heart and speak Truth every day. I acknowledge that whatever I focus on grows bigger. Now, I

choose to focus on Your Truth. I receive the benefit of health restoration for me and my bloodline.

Day 25: Health is Available to All Health restoration (healing) is recorded both in

the Old and New Testament. There is no record

or even a suggested sentiment that Christ ever

refused to heal anyone. He healed all who

“came” or who were “brought” to Him. PRAYER:

In faith, I thank You Father for the complete

restoration of “(speak the person’s name)”. I

stand on your Word that demonstrates Your love, power and authority to restore health and

wholeness. Because of Jesus, I remain victorious over all the schemes of the enemy. Premature death

is canceled and I proclaim your glory, goodness and restoration in this year of rest, freedom and

Jubilee.

That you may love the Lord your God, that you may

obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for

He is your life, and the length of your days; and that

you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to

your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give

them. Deuteronomy 30:20 NKJV

Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits; Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies.

Psalms 103:2-3 NKJV

Now Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in

their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the

kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and

all kinds of disease among the people.

Matthew 4:23 NKJV

23 | P a g e

Day 26: Health is God’s Will There is no better way to find God’s will regarding

physical healing than by a close study of the ministry

and teachings of the Lord Jesus. Jesus is the

expression of the Father’s will. In His entire life and

ministry He was “The Word,” speaking out the will of

God. He said, “For I came down from heaven, not to

do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me”

(John 6:38). He literally acted out the will of God.

Therefore, when we see Jesus healing the multitudes

who came to Him, we see our Father revealing His will. The healing of the sick was done, then, as a revelation of

God’s will for Man. PRAYER: Thank You Lord for the multiple demonstrations of health restoration by

Jesus. We commit to focus on You, The Lord Who Heals. The veil was rent and Heaven is now open

for us to receive restoration for physical, mental, emotional, financial and spiritual health.

Day 27: Health is Life in the Word God wants to speak (commune) with Himself.

We are made in His image AND the Holy Spirit is

given to dwell within. Why is this important for

health restoration? In John 14:6, we learn that

Jesus is The Way (i.e. path infers action), Truth

(i.e. Word) and Life (i.e. promise). Therefore, to

live life as God promised, our actions must

include His Truth as an essential component of

our day-to-day living. The choice is simple: His Word = Life. In this explosive Information Era, let’s take

advantage of how the Word is readily available on the Web, smart devices as well as a physical Bible;

ensuring that we include the Word as part of daily prayers, thoughts, speech and deeds. PRAYER: Lord,

if my life seems too busy to include time to study the Word daily—then it’s too busy! Just as I feed

my physical body, that will die if not adequately nourished; if my spirit is not nourished, it will weaken

and give out. Please prompt me to nourish my spirit daily to have life more abundantly.

Day 28: Health is Resting in God The last six days on the Road to Pentecost has

laid a solid foundation for health restoration as:

A Covenant Forever (Day 8)

My Birthright (Day 9)

A Promised Benefit (Day 10)

Available to All (Day 11)

God’s Will and Life in the Word (Days 12, 13)

On this seventh day of health restoration, the

focus follows the example of God to rest. I John 5:14-15 reminds us that our assurance for anything

asked comes from being aligned to God’s will. His will is His Word. We have prayed, declared, meditated

on and believed God for restoration of health. Now, faith enables rest! In other words, be anxious for

nothing (Philippians 4:6). Again, worry for “no” thing, including health restoration. To worry means

that trust is lacking. Armor up with the Word, so that “rest” is assured now and in the future.

DECLARATION: God said it! We believe it! That settles it!

And the prayer of faith will save the sick and the

Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins,

he will be forgiven.

James 5:15 NKJV

In the beginning God created the heavens and

the earth. The earth was without form, and

void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.

And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face

of the waters.

Genesis 1:1-2 NKJV

Now this is the confidence that we have in Him

that if we ask anything according to His will, He

hears us. And if we know that He hears us,

whatever we ask, we know that we have the

petitions that we have asked of Him.

I John 5:14-15 NKJV

Going Deeper in The Lord’s Restoration of Our Health

Among the 27 instances of healings by Christ, there are 7 cases in which a demon was cast out; 11

occasions when friends brought the sufferer; 6 occurrences where the patient made a personal

appeal; and 3 times when Christ performed the healing while at a distance. Here are additional

references to leverage in your study for Health Restoration.

Week 5: Restoration of our Wealth – Days 29-35 April 24 – 30, 2016

Day 29: Love: The True Wealth of GOD The enduring condition of our hearts and minds are often clouded with concern for the accumulation of earthly riches. We are sometimes so jaded by this concern, we don’t realize the only way to establish “true wealth” is by connecting and committing to loving GOD. In Proverbs 8:21, the Bible says: “That I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth, that I may fill their treasuries.” GOD Loves us so much that HE wants us to inherit wealth. The only requirement is to love HIM. If we love HIM, HE has promised us that HE will fill the treasuries of our hearts, our minds, and our spirits with the “true wealth:” HIS fruit called love. PRAYER: Heavenly FATHER, thank YOU for your unyielding love. Help us to love YOU, and understand that “true wealth” comes from YOU. Open our heart, mind, and spirit to receive the fruit of YOUR Love.

My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold,

and my revenue than choice silver. I traverse the

way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths

of justice, that I may cause those who love me

to inherit wealth, that I may fill their treasuries.

Proverbs 8:18-21 NKJV

26 | P a g e

Day 30: Life: The Wealth Eternity How would you feel if you were to arrive home

and realize someone had stolen your

possessions, killed your plants, and destroyed all

of your valuables? How would you feel instead,

if you arrived home and the police were there

and stated that someone tried to break in, but

your alarm went off while they were driving

through your neighborhood; leaving your

belongings intact and the culprit is in custody? The enemy came to steal your joy, kill your dreams, and

destroy your faith, but he didn’t know you had a security system called “The Blood.” His attack set off

a spiritual alert, and he was arrested by the angels GOD Placed in charge over you. The best part is he

didn’t know Jesus had already purchased an insurance policy for you called “salvation,” that had an

eternal payoff. All you must do is receive it. DECLARATION: We have an abundant wealth called life—

both here on earth and eternally with my GOD, through Jesus Christ! This wealth we cannot earn,

nor can it be taken from us!

Day 31: Wealth that Honors The Hebrew word “kabad,” means heavy or

burdensome, is used to define “Honor.” The

Bible speaks of two types of Honor: ascribed

honor—based on relationship; and acquired

honor—based on what is earned. Putting all of

these uses together in Proverbs 3:9-10, could be

interpreted as, “It should weigh heavy on your

heart to make all that you have, and the first of

that which is added to you, available to the Lord; measured by your relationship with Him, and what

the Lord has given.” PRAYER: Lord, help us to honor You with all that we have, and all the first of what

You add. So that our vats overflow with the harvest of Your plenty!

Day 32: Wealth Comes From GOD If you wanted to start a business, but you didn’t

have the money to do so; you could go to a

banking institution and ask them. Whether they

gave you the money or not, you chose them

because you knew that they had both the

resources and ability to give you what you

needed. You understood there would be some

credit requirements, but you filled out the

application anyway because you realized that they had the power to write the check. Our Heavenly

FATHER is not a bank for you to get resources, HE is the SOURCE from which the banks get their

resources! So whether or not the bank approves your application, asking GOD acknowledges that you

identify HIM as your SOURCE, and it gives HIM the opportunity to show you what HE is able to do!

DECLARATION: Heavenly Father, YOU are THE SOURCE of my strength, and The Source for all that we

need. We know that wealth comes from YOU! Thank you for making us great and giving us strength!

Honor the Lord with your possessions, and with the

firstfruits of all your increase; so your barns will be

filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with

new wine.

Proverbs 3: 9-10 NKJV

The thief does not come except to steal, and to

kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may

have life, and that they may have it more

abundantly.

John 10:10 NKJV

Both riches and honor come from YOU, and YOU

reign over all. In Your hand is power and might;

in YOUR hand it is to make great and to give

strength to all.

1 Chronicles 29:12 NKJV

27 | P a g e

Day 33: Wealth Establishes Covenant The people of GOD were on their way to the

Promised Land. They had seen the wealth of

Egypt, and were about to come into their own.

GOD knew HE had to place some disclaimers

with HIS people so they would not become self-

righteous once they saw what GOD had

prepared for them. In doing so, HE reminded

them that the wealth they were about to come

into was based on the establishment of the covenant that HE made with their fathers. The covenant

GOD made with their fathers was an agreement from GOD to Man. GOD’s reminder of His covenant at

this time was so the people would remember that HE is a GOD of HIS Word; and so they would not

forget HIM and become consumed by the wealth they were about to inherit. PRAYER: Heavenly Father,

as we come into wealth, help us to remember YOU and teach our seed about YOUR Covenant!

Day 34: Power to Get Wealth The Hebrew word for “power” used in the

context of Deuteronomy 8:18 is the word

“koach,” which denotes strength or ability. This

means that you have been given a unique ability

to get wealth, which all seems straight forward.

The alarming thing is the Hebrew word koach

looks and sounds like the English language word

“coach.” The revelation is this, “Wealth is

already placed on earth and you have the ability to obtain it.” But in order for you to do so, you must

keep GOD on your mind—and know that HE Has given you an Earthly Coach, in the Holy Spirit, Who

will lead and direct you on how to obtain it! PRAYER: Thank You GOD for giving us the ability to go

and get wealth. Allow YOUR Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth, and know where to go to obtain this

wealth that YOU have hidden for us all!

Day 35: Time to Enjoy Wealth You had a very successful week in business and

decided to invite some family and friends out to

dinner at a very fancy restaurant. It was a seven

course feast. And just as they were bringing out

the parmesan and shrimp crusted steak with the

lobster side, the fire alarm went off and

everybody was asked to leave the building. Even

though the owner compensated everyone’s

meal—you never got to even take a bite out of the steak! As you work hard to obtain the riches and

wealth that GOD Has given to you, our prayer is that your body remains in good health, and you and

your loved ones will have the time to enjoy it together. DECLARATION: I shall live and not die. I will be

about my FATHER’S Business and accomplish HIS Tasks in good time. I will enjoy all that GOD Has for

me. I will take the time to enjoy the gift that GOD Has given men.

And you shall remember the Lord your GOD, for it is

HE Who gives you the power to get wealth, that HE

May establish His covenant which HE Swore to your

fathers, as it is this day.

Deuteronomy 8:18 NKJV

And you shall remember the Lord your GOD, for

it is HE Who gives you the power to get wealth,

that HE May establish His covenant which HE

Swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

Deuteronomy 8:18 NKJV

As for every man to whom God has given riches

and wealth, and given him power to eat of it, to

receive his heritage and rejoice in his labor-this

is the gift of GOD.

Ecclesiastes 5:19 NKJV

28 | P a g e

Going Deeper in The Lord’s Restoration of Our Wealth

When this study began, the immediate thoughts were focused on financial wealth, with money as the

focal point of much of this understanding. Upon completion of the study, it is clear that although

resources are a component of wealth, the condition of our hearts, our minds, and our relationship with

GOD and others—are greater components in obtaining the “true wealth” of abundance. In this we are

to remember GOD as we come into what HE has for us, because just as HE shows us how to obtain, we

must allow our “Coach,” the Holy Spirit, to direct us on how to use it, multiply it, and leave some of it

as an inheritance to our generations to come. As we do so, we must ensure that we don’t just pass

them resources, but teach them how The Lord brought us through, how He kept us, and how they

should respond with each generation, paying it forward.

Week 6: Restoration of Our Innovative Ideas & Creativity–Days 36-42 May 1 – 7, 2016

Day 36: Jesus, Our Restorer “I am He,” is what Jesus told those who came looking for Him in the garden. But, Who is He? Jesus is many things to many people –Provider, Peace, Truth, Healer, Deliverer, Shepherd and more. Most importantly, Jesus is our Restorer. When man fell – we were separated from the Father and lost many things including true God inspired creativity. Jesus came so that man could be brought back into proper relationship with the Father. Through His sacrificial death and resurrection we received restoration. Jesus didn’t leave us alone. He promised us the gift of the Holy Spirit and told us that we would receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon us. And at Pentecost the Holy Spirit came and He gave us power to truly create again. Jesus is our Restorer. PRAYER: Father, Thank you for sending Jesus –our Restorer –who sacrificed His life so that we would be reconciled back to the Father. Thank You for loving us that much. Help us to walk in this restored new life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Jesus said to them, “I am He.”

Now when He said to them, “I am He,” they

drew back and fell to the ground.

John 18:5b, 6 NKJV

Day 37: God, Our Creator “In the beginning God created…,” that’s what

the Bible tells us. God had an idea, a plan that

would bring Him glory. An idea that would

bring forth a man and a woman who would

bless the earth by being fruitful and

multiplying; replenishing the earth; subduing

the earth; and having dominion over the

earth. Do you know the creative power that

God has placed in you? We were created in His image. As born again believers His Holy Spirit lives in us

– and as such the same creative power that was ‘in the beginning’ is in us. Walk in the creative power

of God. PRAYER: Father, Thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit. Thank You for creative power and

abilities. Thank You for creative ideas that will bring You glory and bless those in the earth. In Jesus’

name. Amen.

Day 38: Jesus, Light of the World The first thing God spoke was, “Let there be

light.” Light illumines, it shines, and it allows

us to see. There are hidden areas of treasure

in us that God’s light needs to shine on so that

we can recognize those many gifts, talents,

novel ideas and inventions that He placed

within us. As you begin to experience

bountiful blessings from your God inspired

innovations, let your light shine before others that they may see your good works and glorify our Father

in Heaven. Walk in the Light of the Lord. PRAYER: Father, Thank you for being our Light and Salvation.

Thank you for your Word being a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. Let Your Light continue to

penetrate the recesses of our heart and lead us into all truth. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Day 39: Jesus, the Bread of Life The Lord’s Prayer teaches us, “Give us this day

our daily bread.” Jesus is the Bread of Life and

each day we should be feeding on His Word.

Through study, prayer and meditation He

provides us with ‘seeds of ideas and

inventions’ that must be planted, fertilized,

cultivated and harvested. The physical bread

we eat didn’t start out as a loaf of bread. It

began as a seed that was planted in the ground that grew, was harvested, processed and prepared.

The same is true for many of the ‘seeds of ideas’ we receive from God. They too must be processed to

come into the fullness of what Christ intended for His glory. PRAYER: Father, Thank you for ‘seeds of

ideas and inventions’ that You have given me. Help me to go through the process of growth and

maturity so that the harvest of ideas may be produced and reaped for Your glory. In Jesus’ name.

Amen.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the

earth. So God created man in His own image; in the

image of God He created him: male and female He

created them.

Genesis 1:1, 27 NKJV

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am

the light of the world. He who follows Me shall

not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

John 8:12 NKJV

“I am the Bread of Life.” “I am the living bread

which came down from heaven. If anyone eats

of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread

that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for

the life of the world.”

John 6:48, 51 NKJV

31 | P a g e

Day 40: Jesus, the Resurrection and the

Life You used to dream. You had ideas and visions

but life circumstances caused them to fade

away and die. Jesus is our Resurrection

power. He was raised from the dead and lives.

He desires to restore that which you thought

was lost and hopeless. He is life and He came

that we would have life and life more

abundantly. Trust Him and dream again. PRAYER: Father, thank You for restoring to me the dreams

and ideas that I let die as life got difficult. I am trusting You to watch over Your Word to perform it

in my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Day 41: Jesus, the Door Doors give us access to places. Doors are

gateways to opportunities. There are doors

that the Lord has opened to us. These

opportunities may direct us to new

innovations and strategies or provide support

for our creative ideas. We must open the

doors or walk through doors that are already

open; and that takes action. We must have

active faith and go forth. As long as we stand still we do not accomplish anything. Get up and start

moving. Enter through the doors of opportunity and watch God bless you. PRAYER: Father, Thank You

for Jesus being the door by which we can have eternal life. It is in Him that we live, move, and have

our being. We will no longer stand at the door but will walk through the doors because we can do all

things through Christ who strengthens us. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Day 42: Jesus, the True Vine We can do all things through Christ who

strengthens us. We can do nothing without

Christ. He is our source. Without Him we have

no true God-inspired ideas or creativity. With

Him we have all of this and more. We must

abide in Him and His love. He is our life. Love

must be the impetus for all we do – not selfish

ambition or gain. Love is the Father’s will. It is

who He is and it is His desire for who He wants us to be. Let the creativity of God flow through you as

you abide in Him and show His love to the world. PRAYER: Father, help me to abide in You and Your

love. Your love is perfect and casts out fear. You showed us true love by sending Your Son, who is the

Way, the Truth, and the Life. Help us to love like You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the

life…”

John 11:25a NKJV

“I am the Door.

If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and

will go in and out and find pasture.”

Genesis 1:1-2 NKJV

I am the true vine…

I am the vine, you are the branches. He who

abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for

without Me you can do nothing.

John 15:1a, 5 NKJV

Going Deeper in The Lord’s Restoration of Our Innovative Ideas and Creativity

Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (freedom).

2 Corinthians 3:17 NKJV

In the beginning, God created…He created in freedom. How do we know this? Everything He spoke

happened! There were no hindrances. Freedom is the atmosphere for creativity. Through praise and

worship, we create an atmosphere of freedom, where the Spirit of God can move freely in our lives.

In this year of Freedom, let’s walk in freedom so that we might create and dream.

Take the opportunity each day to search the scriptures for nuggets of wisdom to make your own!

Day 36: Exodus 3:14-15 –God told Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” Who is God to you? Who has He been in

your life? Joel 2:21-32 –God is a restorer of the lost years, finances, ideas, health, hope, salvation and

love.

Day 37: Genesis 1-2 – God created by speaking forth. There is creative power in our words. Our words

are spirit and life. As they go forth, things are happening in the atmosphere that we cannot see. Watch

your words and determine that they will be spoken forth for God’s glory.

Day 38: Matthew 5:13-16 –We are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. II Timothy 1:6-7 –Stir

up the gifts that are in you.

Day 39: Matthew 4:1-11 –The Bread of Life declares to the enemy that man doesn’t live by (physical)

bread alone but by the words that proceed from the mouth of God. Jesus is the Word and we must live

by Him.

Day 40: Genesis 37-47 –Joseph was a dreamer. He was excited by what God showed him. Then life

happened. Yet through the circumstances, Joseph held on to the dream until it was manifested.

Day 41: Revelation 4 –There is a door standing open in Heaven for you to walk through. You must come

up higher though to see it and go through it. Come up higher.

Day 42: John 15:1-17 –Abiding in God is a daily walk – one in which the Holy Spirit will lead and guide

us as we willingly obey Him.

Week 7: Restoration of our Godly Wisdom – Days 43-49 May 8 – 14, 2016

Day 43: Praise God for Wisdom Daniel praises God for the wisdom God had given him. In your meditation time, review Daniel 2:21-22. Daniel is about to interpret King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream (Daniel 2:24-45). God had given Daniel supernatural wisdom (prophecy) to address each part of what the king had dreamed. Daniel’s wisdom came from God, not from man. James 1:5, tells us to ask God for wisdom. “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.” PRAYER: Father God, I ask for wisdom and I am truly thankful to You for answering my prayer. I receive wisdom from You, NOW!

I thank You and praise You, O God of my fathers;

You have given me wisdom and might, And now

made known to me what we asked of You, For

You have made known to us the king’s demand.

Daniel 2:23

34 | P a g e

Day 44: The Beginning of Wisdom The fear of the LORD is Godly; it is not of the flesh but

of the Spirit. God does not give us the spirit of fear,

but He gives us a sound mind and love. Fearing God

is obeying God. In our everyday walk, let us fear the

LORD and do His will. Fearing Him begins our

knowledge of Him. Studying His word adds His wealth

and richness to our lives. Fearing the LORD makes it

easy to follow His instruction: Wisdom!

PRAYER: Father God, I declare and decree that I fear You with a holy fear and follow Your instructions.

Thank You for imparting Your wisdom in me in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Day 45: Rewards of Wisdom God rewards the man who is good in His sight with

wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner He

gives the work of gathering and collecting so that He

may give to the man who is good before Him. What

comes to mind? Think about the “Parable of the

Talents.” The man who received the one talent said,

“And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the

ground. Look, there you have what is yours”

(Matthew 25:25). This man was called wicked because he did not use wisdom, resourcefulness, knowledge

or obedience. The man with the one talent, that he did not invest, was told this: “Therefore take the talent

from him, and give it to him who has ten talents” (Matthew 25:28). God rewarded the man with ten talents

because he used wisdom and doubled his five talents.

PRAYER: LORD God thank You for increase and multiplication; thank You for Your Word, which is truth

and life.

Day 46: Wisdom: The Principal Thing Wisdom is first, foremost and the main thing.

Solomon, the principal author of Proverbs, uses

poetry, parables, short stories, and wise maxims on

how to relate to parents, children, neighbors and

even government. In these verses, a father is

instructing his son to get wisdom, to love her, and

to get understanding. A caring father knows that

his son will need wisdom and knowledge. God is

our caring Father; He knows our need before we

even ask. Ask God for wisdom; there is no age requirement here. Ask, whether you are young or old.

Wisdom is the main thing.

PRAYER: Father God, I thank You NOW for wisdom and understanding and for loving me so much to

give me provision and instruction.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,

but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Proverbs 1:7

For God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy to a

man who is good in His sight; but to the sinner He

gives the work of gathering and collecting, that he

may give to him who is good before God. This also

is vanity and grasping for the wind.

Ecclesiastes 2:26

Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget,

nor turn away from the words of my mouth. Do

not forsake her, and she will preserve you; Love

her, and she will keep you. Wisdom is the principal

thing; Therefore, get wisdom. And in all your

getting, get understanding.

Proverbs 4:5-7

35 | P a g e

Day 47: Build on the Rock The Beatitudes are passages of Scriptures in the New

Testament, written in parables that Jesus began to

teach His disciples while He was seated upon a

mountain. Here, in Matthew 7:24, Jesus teaches the

disciples and all believers to build upon a solid

foundation. “Build your house on a rock” is a

metaphor for starting with a firm foundation. Our

relationship with God must be firmly founded up

God’s Word. Our prayer life is purposed in God’s will; Jesus knew His purpose and set out to teach the

same to His disciples then and now. The wise man builds his house upon the rock, not the sand. For upon

the sand, when the rain comes and the wind blows, the house will fall. Yet, when the house is built upon

the rock, it stands. He is a wise man who builds his relationship with God, his marriage, his family, or his

business on the rock.

PRAYER: Father, I decree and declare that I shall build all you give me to do on a solid foundation in

Jesus’ name. Amen!

Day 48: Speech: Seasoned with Salt Apostle Paul teaches the doctrines and the

practicalities of serving one another—like Christ, in

the Book of Colossians. Christian grace is necessary,

when we as loving believers encounter each other as

well as those who are outside the Christian faith.

Truly, we have to lovingly meet others where they

are. Our speech must be seasoned “with salt”; our

speech must be used to build up and not tear down.

What we say to others will ring in their spirit long after we have departed. Walking in wisdom toward one

another means that we can redeem the time knowing what to say and how to say it.

PRAYER: Father God, thank You for giving me the wisdom to speak love and life to others on this journey.

Day 49: Wisdom, Blessings, and Honor The Lamb of God was slain for our redemption that

we may be able to have that connection and

relationship with God. Jesus received riches and

wisdom, and honor and glory. We give thanks for

His great sacrifice for us. He, now, sits at the right

hand of His Father and will come back for a mature

Body, His Bride (the Church), without spot or

wrinkle.

PRAYER: Lord God, You so loved the world that You gave Your only begotten Son to redeem us from

destruction and sin. Now, receive our living bodies as sacrifice, holy unto You, our reasonable service in

Jesus’ name. Amen.

Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine,

and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who

built his house on the rock.

Matthew 7:24

…that I may make it manifest, as I ought to

speak. Walk in wisdom toward those who are

outside, redeeming the time. Let your speech

always be seasoned with salt, that you may

know how you ought to answer each one.

Colossians 4:4-6

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive

power and riches and wisdom. And strength and

honor and glory and blessings! Amen! Blessing

and glory and wisdom, Thanksgiving and honor

and power and might…Revelation 5:12, 7:12

Revelations 5:12, 7:12

Going Deeper in The Lord’s Restoration of Wisdom: The Lamb of God As Christ’s disciples, it is our duty to disciple others and to go after souls and bring them to our loving God

through the love of Jesus Christ. Since we are heirs and joint heirs with Christ, it is our responsibility to

complete the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20).

Take the opportunity each day to search the scriptures for nuggets of wisdom to make your own!

PRAYER: Our Father, thank You for Your great and awesome sacrifice of Your only begotten Son; thank

You for knowledge and wisdom that we may fully follow Your plan for our lives and help others to see

You and obey You in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Celebration of Jubilee – Day 50 May 15, 2016

Day 50: God’s Year to Act! It is alarming how the modern day church has

turned its back on the historical Jewish aspects

of our faith. In our desire to separate ourselves

from Jewish traditions in the name of

Christianity—we have lost out on many aspects

of the promises of God. The “Year of Jubilee”

was structured to bring equity back into the

Jewish community. It allowed parity to be re-

established by releasing those who were in

captivity, to be set free; debts to be canceled and property (and people) that were sold to pay off debts

to be returned to the original owners. Now consider the Modern Day church—overcome with debt and

bereft of our heritage because it has been sold off as well.

Perhaps, for all that we have gained, we have lost so much more! When Christ came, He came not to

cast down the Law, rather He came that the Law would be made complete in Him. In that, perhaps this

is where we “threw out the baby…” so to speak! In Christ, we are reminded that even in spite of how

He was treated—that is, by those who accepted Him as well as those who rejected Him, He came with

the Spirit of the Lord upon Him.

In His coming, He positioned His arrival as the Savior: as the Jubilee for all mankind. That is, in Him, we

would be pardoned from death; we would once again be able to see the Hand of God moving in the

Earth; and all those who have been “battered and burdened,” would be set free. But He didn’t end His

thought there—and He could have, and we would have been satisfied. So even greater He

acknowledged that this was “God’s Year to Act!”

Most of us are of course familiar with the more familiar reading, “To Proclaim The Acceptable Year of

the Lord.” It is poetic; it flows from our mouths—but we don’t walk away with the same understanding

as we do when we read, “God’s Year to Act!” That interpretation leaves us with a greater level of

expectancy; a greater level of hope; a greater expectation of God showing up in our situation.

That is why it is critical today to embrace this year of Jubilee, so that we can once again lay hold to that

which God has given us. So no matter where you find yourself today we encourage you to stay

attentive! Keep your eyes open—and your ears alert; because just when you think all is lost, God will

act—on your behalf!
