ESTABLISHING AN OVERALL PRAYER LIFE: THREE CATEGORIES

Prayer for my personal life: breakthrough of God’s glory (strength, favor, etc.) on my inner man, in my circumstances (physical, financial and relational) and through my ministry as God’s power is released through my hands, His authority through my words (singing, preaching, conversations) and prophetic revelation to help others (1 Cor. 14:25)

THE BRIDAL PARADIGM OF KINGDOM MINISTRY AT THE END-OF-THE-AGE

UNDERSTANDING THE KISSES OF GOD’S WORD

2 Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth (Word) – For Your love is better than wine.  (Song 1:2)

An essential emphasis of the Holy Spirit in the generation of the Lord’s return is to reveal the emotions of God and the beauty of God.
