Beloved sister, welcome to Day 3 of Juicy July 2025! What a joy it is to see you here once again, praise God! Each day, our spirit is waking up more, and I believe something powerful is stirring within us all. Today, I encourage you to lean in and open your heart wide.

Stay ready for great things are unfolding in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
MELODY FROM OUR HEARTS
Let’s start with singing melody from our hearts to God. Please pause for a moment, rise up if you can, lift those hands, and praise the Lord. Let the song below rise from your core. Burst out in worship, sis. Let Him have it all.
SO WILL I by Hillsong United
Audio:
God of creation
There at the start
Before the beginning of time
With no point of reference
You spoke to the dark
And fleshed out the wonder of light
And as You speak
A hundred billion galaxies are born
In the vapour of Your breath, the planets form
If the stars were made to worship, so will I
I can see Your heart in everything You’ve made
Every burning star, a signal fire of grace
If creation sings Your praises, so will I
God of Your promise
You don’t speak in vain
No syllable empty or void
For once You have spoken
All nature and science
Follow the sound of Your voice
And as You speak
A hundred billion creatures catch Your breath
Evolving in pursuit of what You said
If it all reveals Your nature, so will I
I can see Your heart in everything You say
Every painted sky, a canvas of Your grace
If creation still obeys You, so will I
So will I
So will I
If the stars were made to worship, so will I
If the mountains bow in reverence, so will I
If the oceans roar Your greatness, so will I
For if everything exists to lift You high, so will I
If the wind goes where You send it, so will I
If the rocks cry out in silence, so will I
If the sum of all our praises still falls shy
Then we’ll sing again a hundred billion times
God of salvation
You chased down my heart
Through all of my failure and pride
On a hill You created
The Light of the world
Abandoned in darkness to die
And as You speak
A hundred billion failures disappear
Where You lost Your life so I could find it here
If You left the grave behind You, so will I
I can see Your heart in everything You’ve done
Every part designed in a work of art called love
If You gladly chose surrender, so will I
I can see Your heart, eight billion different ways
Every precious one, a child You died to save
And if You gave Your life to love them, so will I
Like You would again a hundred billion times
But what measure could amount to Your desire?
You’re the One who never leaves the one behind
OPENING PRAYER
Abba Father, we invite You into today’s session. Grant us Access, Abba! Take over. Take the whole atmosphere. Saturate this moment with Your presence, Lord. Break every chain, raise every weary heart, and fill us with Your fire again. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
TESTIMONY
Sis, let us read through this testimony before we go any further:
Praise the Lord!
Last Juicy July was a very special one for me, not just because of what God did for me personally, but because of what He did in the life of someone I had been praying for over the years.
I have a dear friend who had been struggling to conceive. She had confided in me about her battles with a spirit husband, and for years, since I had my first child. I carried her burden in my heart. I constantly lifted her up in prayer, asking God for mercy. I believed that one day, she too would testify.
When we started praying together, she got pregnant, but sadly, she lost the baby. Then it happened again. Two or three pregnancies ended in miscarriage. My heart broke for her. But I didn’t stop praying. I just adjusted my prayers and intensified them.
Now fast forward to Juicy July of last year, I was pregnant again. She didn’t know. She came around to visit, and while she was joyful for me, I could sense the ache in her. I had been praying before she arrived. That the Lord will grant her own child.
I had washed and prepared some of my older baby’s items out of faith. I gave her so much that the car boot was full. I spoke over her. I asked my children to lay hands on her womb. I prophesied that she too would carry and birth her baby.
Then we traveled.
About four or five months later, we spoke again, and she suddenly said, “I’m pregnant.” I was stunned. “You’re what???” She said, “Yes!”. Brethren, this lady saw her period a few days after that visit and the cycle afterwards, she took in! That very same cycle!
She told me that when she got home, she took out those baby items I gave her. She held them. She wept sore before God, saying,“Lord, please, let me carry my own child. Let my child come and use all of these things” And God did it!
The cycle did not miss.
And guess what? In May, she gave birth to a beautiful, healthy, chubby baby! No complications. No miscarriage. No delay. The baby came full of life and some of the very items I had given her in faith were used for this precious child. She showed me the videos face to face. Ah, this woman who had been waiting for over five years!!
She and her husband kept saying thank you to us. Ah, what a glorious God. We had to keep telling them it was God. Ah, I hung on to Him for them that Juicy July.I’m here to say, God hears prayers. He answers during Juicy July! I’m grateful that He allowed me to witness His power and His goodness in this way.
God is in this place. He answers here. Glory to You, Lord.
TESTIMONY PRAYERS
Shout Halleluyah on behalf of our sister. Amen.
Our God is a wonder! If He has done this, yours is just next in line! May your own story bring people to tears of joy soon, in Jesus’ Name. Amen!
Let’s take this moment to lift our voices with gratitude:
Thank You, Lord, for these testimonies. We give You ALL the glory. None belongs to us! Father, glorify Yourself even more in the life of the testifier in Jesus’ Name.
Now, say:
Oh Lord, don’t leave me out. Let me carry my own testimony with dancing from the beginning of Juicy July 2025 to the end and thereafter. Lord, may everyone praying in Juicy July 2025 have something tangible to show in Jesus Name. We receive it by faith in Jesus Name. Amen.
EXHORTATION: CONTAINING THE PROMISE OF THE FATHER
Yesterday, we cried out for our spirits to wake up. We realized that we’ve ignored that part of us for far too long. We’ve lived by emotions. We’ve followed our minds. We’ve nurtured our bodies. But that quiet part of us, the spirit, was starving, sleepy, and sunken. So we prayed. We asked God to shake it awake. And He did. Now you ask: what next? Now that your spirit is awake, what happens now?
Listen carefully, my sister. The spirit must carry. Your spirit was not awakened just to lie around. It was not revived just to sit there and breathe. No. The spirit was designed as a container. A vessel. A womb. Your spirit was built to carry the Holy Spirit Himself. It is like a depth. And the only thing on earth we can liken that kind of depth to is the ocean. So deep, so wide, so mysterious, and so strong. That is what your spirit is like. That’s the space God created within you so He could fill you with Himself.
Look at that mad man at Gadarene. He was hosting thousands of demons. Thousands. That should tell you how vast and spacious the human spirit is. Sister, if a man could host legions of devils, how much more can you host the Holy Ghost? Your spirit was not resurrected to sit fallow. If it must rise and be strong, it must carry something, something greater, something weightier, something holy.
THE GREAT SHUTDOWN
This was God’s intention from the beginning. When He made Adam and Eve, He wasn’t creating machines. He wasn’t programming robots to obey and worship without heart. He made humans in His image, beings who could choose, who could feel, who could desire and love. Because real love must be chosen. So God gave them the most powerful gift: free will. And with that gift, He placed before them two trees. The Tree of Life represented dependence on God. The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil represented independence from Him. These trees were not just physical trees, but they were gateways. Spiritual systems. One was rooted in God. The other was rooted in rebellion.
When Adam and Eve chose to eat from the tree of knowledge, what they were saying in essence was, “We don’t want to keep receiving life from You. We want to figure things out on our own.” And that very moment, man’s spirit broke. That bite triggered something catastrophic. In the spirit realm, it was like a sudden, violent shutdown. The glory light in man switched off. Boom. Darkness. Silence. The spirit that once danced with God in perfect rhythm, gone. The constant glow of God’s presence, snuffed out. It was as if the socket that powered man’s spirit was pulled from the Source of Life itself.
You just imagine a house once filled with light, warm, glowing, radiant. Every room lit. Every switch working. The sound of music, laughter, and life flowing through the halls. Now imagine a power outage. Every light shuts off. The refrigerator dies. The fan stops turning. The music is gone. The warmth disappears. Silence. Cold silence. That’s what happened in man’s spirit.
It was like a strong, green, living tree. Roots deep in rich soil. Branches reaching high. Full of fruit. Now imagine someone cuts that tree at the roots. The leaves are still green for a moment, but the truth is, it’s already dead. That’s what happened to Adam and Eve. They looked alive, but they were dead. Their spirits, cut off from the Source. Their glory, gone. Their identity, shattered. Their confidence, broken. Their connection with God, severed.
And it began to spread. Like poison in a bloodstream. Like rot in a garden. Everything around them started dying. Even creation felt it. The trees began to wither. The animals became wild and violent. The ground, once yielding fruit easily, began to resist them. Thorns and thistles grew where beauty once reigned. The birds stopped singing the same way. The wind carried sorrow. Something had shifted. Because man was the crown of creation. And when the crown fell, the whole creation groaned.
And here’s the most heart-wrenching part, dear sisters. God couldn’t reach for them like before because sin had buried them under layers of death. Sin is not just a mistake, sis, it is a barrier. A wall. A thick, heavy fog that hides man from God and God from man. That is death. Death is not just the heart stopping. Death is God gone. Death is living on earth without heaven’s touch. Death is the spirit under lockdown. Death is walking around glowing on Instagram but hollow inside. Death is doing ministry, marriage, motherhood, life, without connection to the Source. And that’s what sin does. It buries. It blinds. It chokes. It builds a wall between us and our Father. And it doesn’t matter how much God longs to reach you, if sin is in the way, His holiness cannot break protocol. He is too pure. Too righteous. Too clean.
THE WAY OF BLOOD
But God yearned for them. Even though man was buried under shame, fear, and guilt, God’s heart ached for His creation. God did not give up. He made a way. And that way was blood.
The Bible says, “For the life of the flesh is in the blood.” The first time blood was shed in Scripture was not by man, it was by God. After Adam and Eve fell, God Himself killed an animal or more and used the skin to cover their nakedness. That was redemption. Something innocent had to die so the guilty could live.
Blood is life. Sin is death. They are the two opposite forces in this spiritual battle. Sin brought death, death that shuts down the spirit, cuts off connection to God, and buries man under a heavy, dark weight. To conquer death, life must come in. And life only comes through blood.
That is why God shed blood. Because He desperately wanted man. The God who created the stars and breathed life into dust looked at His fallen children with a heart full of fierce, relentless love. A love so strong that He moved heaven and earth to bring man back.
So, in the Old Testament, blood became the way God drew close to man. Whenever He saw blood offered, He could come near. But only for a moment, only to an extent. The blood of animals was never enough to clean man from the inside. It was only a covering, a temporary fix. The animals didn’t sin. Man sinned. So man must pay the price.
And God knew this. So the Word came down. God Himself came down to live exactly like a man. He walked among us, felt our pain, carried our sorrows. And after a life of perfect obedience, love, and sacrifice, He shed His blood, His own precious blood.
Now, as many of us believe in Jesus and are washed in His blood, we are reset to factory settings. The Blood of Jesus restores us back to factory setting! Hallelujah! But that is not the end. It is just the beginning. Think about a baby when it is born. Has the baby become an adult at birth? No. The baby is just a baby. That’s where we are after giving our lives to Him, just born of the Spirit into the kingdom. Congratulations, that is one of the greatest things that can happen in anyone’s life. But the baby needs to grow!
So even though we have been washed by the blood, and that is amazing, we are still like Adam when he was first made, or like Jesus when He was born. We now face a choice: Do we eat from the tree of life, living in total dependence on the Lord? Or do we eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, trying to figure things out on our own? What choices are we making every day?
WAIT FOR POWER!
Our spirits have been purged from the darkness that filled it at the fall through the blood, but what’s next?
Our spirits were darkened at the fall, but through the blood, they have been washed clean. So, what’s next? The container is purified, but empty. Look at what Jesus told His disciples after He died. He told them to lock themselves up and wait. Wait until the container is filled! He said, “Tarry for power!” Without that power, they couldn’t be holy, couldn’t truly love Him, couldn’t do anything eternal.
That deep space inside you, that loneliness, that gap, that’s exactly what Jesus wants to fill. Only God pouring Himself into that depth can bring true satisfaction and purpose. When He fills it, life begins to make sense.
So when you look at the Scriptures, you keep hearing Jesus Christ talking about the promise of the Father, the promise of the Father. “Wait and be endued with power,” He said. “Wait in a particular place.” He told them clearly, “Lock yourselves in the upper room. The promise is coming. Power is coming. Life is coming.” Over and over, He emphasized it. That was the assignment: prepare for the promise. Wait for the outpouring. The Holy Spirit was coming, not to merely touch them, but to fill them.
That’s John chapter 1, verse 12: “But as many as received Him, to them He gave power to become the sons of God.” Power to become. It is a process. You become. You grow into it. The Holy Spirit is that power to become, the promise of the Father.
So, it is not enough to just give your life to Jesus. Thank God you’re born again. But after birth, there must be growth. After salvation, there must be power. The moment you’re born into the Kingdom, God expects you to go beyond the Adam stage, the blank slate. Because listen, this flesh we are in? It is weak. It has been corrupted. It will fall. It will fail. Satan will take advantage of it. He will scream through the flesh. He will push the appetites, the lusts, the desires. He will use what you naturally like against you. Because the flesh is made from the earth, it always wants the things of the earth. That’s why you need something higher, something deeper, something that will tune your spirit heavenward.
That something is the Holy Spirit. He is the one that gives you the power to say no. The power to resist temptation. The power to carry heaven in this body made of dust. Look at Peter. Before the Spirit came, he couldn’t even stand up for Jesus. He denied Him, three times! But after the Spirit came, this same Peter stood boldly before thousands. He preached, he healed, he was even willing to die for Christ. That’s what the Holy Spirit does. That’s the difference.
Jesus told His disciples, “It is expedient for Me to go.” Why? So that the promise can come. He was telling them, “What I need from you now is this: Go somewhere, lock yourselves in, and begin to pray. Begin to welcome the promise of the Father. Ask. Seek. Knock. Prepare your spirit to receive.” And they did. For ten days, they prayed and waited. They tarried. And then, He came. The Holy Spirit came! And when He came, it wasn’t quiet. No one could deny it. There were tongues of fire. There was power. There was boldness. There was change. That is life. That is eternal life. That is God, not just with man, but now in man.
Jesus couldn’t enter into Peter when He was on earth. He couldn’t enter into John. When He walked the earth, it was “God with them.” But He knew that wasn’t enough. He had to make a way for “God in them.” So He left. And He sent the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God in us. God living in us. God roaring from within us. That is why you have a spirit. That is why you are deep. Deep enough to host the Spirit of God. Deep enough to carry the same presence that hovered over the waters in Genesis. Deep enough to carry the Spirit that raised Christ from the dead!
Sister, your spirit is not a cup. It’s not a teaspoon. It’s not a bottle. It is an ocean. A depth. A womb. It was made to carry God. And here’s the thing: it will carry something. If not God, then something else. The mad man of Gadara carried legions of demons. Many spirits, inside one man. That tells you just how deep the human spirit is. Now imagine that space filled with the Holy Ghost. My Bible says, “Out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water.” Some versions say “depth,” “innermost being.” That’s it. That’s the place. That’s the space. And only the Holy Spirit was made to fill it.
You can try to fill it with music, movies, relationships, fashion, ministry, even Christian activity. But it won’t work. It won’t satisfy. That space was built for one thing: God. He must fill it. And when He does, your life will shift. Your words will carry fire. Your gaze will carry light. Your steps will carry direction. He will turn you into a vessel, one that portrays Christ wherever you go. People won’t just hear you speak; they’ll see Jesus in you.
That’s the promise of the Father. The Holy Spirit. When He comes into your life, He doesn’t come to sit idle. He comes to conform you to the image of Christ. To pattern your life after Jesus.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THE PROMISE?
So, this is exactly the call. You’ve given your life to Christ, praise God. But have you asked for the Holy Spirit to come? Or are you still afraid He won’t? Still thinking you’re not holy enough? Still waiting to reach one mysterious level of holiness before you qualify for the Spirit? My sister, who told you that? Where did you see that in Scripture?
Jesus knew. He knew that without the Spirit, even the most passionate follower would fall. Peter couldn’t stand. John couldn’t. None of them could. So Jesus gave them a direct command: “Don’t go anywhere. Don’t preach. Don’t teach. Don’t move. Wait. Wait for power.” Because without that power, they would crumble under pressure. But we, we often try to run this Christian race with just head knowledge, human strength, and a sprinkle of church attendance. That’s why we keep falling, rising, falling, rising, with no stability. No strength. Just struggle.
You think holiness will fall on you like rain one day? You think you’ll grow into it by sheer willpower? Let me ask you: who will make you holy? Who? Even walking with Jesus in the flesh didn’t make Judas holy. It didn’t make Peter holy. It didn’t change Andrew. Why? Because proximity to Jesus without the indwelling Spirit cannot produce transformation. That’s why He died. That’s why He shed His blood. And that same blood that washed your sins is more than enough to qualify you for the Holy Spirit to enter you!
Paul met some of John the Baptist’s disciples. They had believed. They had accepted Jesus. But the first thing Paul asked them was, “Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?” Because that is the next step! The very next thing after salvation is infilling. You were not saved to live a powerless life. You were saved to carry the very power of God.
Peter went to Cornelius’ house and simply preached Jesus. Just as he spoke, the Holy Spirit fell upon the entire household. Boom! No long altar call. No ceremonial bath. No seven-day retreat. They believed, and He came. That’s how it was in the Bible. That’s how it should be now. If you have believed, your spirit is clean. The container is washed and empty. And the Holy Ghost is eager to enter!
Because listen, without the Holy Spirit, you will just keep rising and falling. The journey will feel like a burden. Your walk with God will be dry. Prayer will be hard. Obedience will feel impossible. You’ll feel weak, empty, frustrated. You won’t have joy. You won’t have direction. Christianity will look like a boring religion. That’s because you’re trying to live God’s life without God’s Spirit. It doesn’t work.
But if the Holy Spirit comes, and you let Him lead, something will shift. You’ll find strength. You’ll begin to hear instructions. You’ll begin to obey promptly. He will tell you, “Give Me 30 minutes tonight,” and instead of arguing, you’ll rise and pray. He’ll tell you, “Go and apologize,” and even when you were the one offended, you’ll humble yourself and go. Why? Because Christ is being formed in you.
Every act of obedience stretches your spirit. The more you obey, the more He expands inside you. The more you yield, the more Jesus shines through you. And the more of Jesus people see in you, the more power flows from your life. That’s how holiness grows. That’s how glory flows. That’s how we fulfill the reason we were born.
Jesus said, “If any man thirst, let him come to Me and drink. Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” That belly is your depth. That ocean inside you is what the Holy Spirit wants to fill. And from there, rivers will begin to flow. Rivers of peace. Rivers of revelation. Rivers of power. Rivers of wisdom. Rivers of fire.
Sister, don’t let Satan beat you to it. Now that you know your spirit exists, and you know how deep it is, you must be intentional about what fills it. Because if you don’t fill it with God, the devil will fill it with something else. The devil is after your spirit. He wants to load it with pride, lust, confusion, fear, addictions, anger, religion, bitterness, anything but the Holy Spirit. But you must fight for your spirit. You must rise up and say, “My spirit will carry God.”
What a wonder, what a privilege, that God Himself wants to live inside of you. Jesus was Emmanuel, God with us. But the Holy Spirit is God in us. God in you! Jesus couldn’t enter Peter to help him. He couldn’t enter John. But now, the Spirit can. The Promise of the Father has come, and He wants to dwell in you richly. He wants to take over the space in your spirit. He wants to roar through your being.
So, my sister, I ask again: What are you doing with the promise of the Father? Have you locked yourself away to receive Him, like the disciples did? And if you have received Him, are you stirring Him up? Is He in control? Or are you still the one calling the shots?
Let Him reign. Let the Spirit carry.
ROUNDING OFF
Since this program started, the Lord has been giving us a golden opportunity: time to just sit, soak, and play instrumentals or worship that helps us pay attention to our spirits. My sister, that is the real matter. That’s what this entire life is about: your spirit! If your spirit is dead, you’re gone. If it’s asleep, you’re vulnerable. If it’s ignored, you’ll be carried away by the madness of this age.
Look around you. Can’t you see? The world is getting darker. Generation is becoming more corrupt. Everywhere you turn, news, trends, entertainment, churches, it’s evil upon evil. If your eyes are not open to see what season we’re in, fear will swallow you. That is why your spirit must come alive. If it doesn’t, the current of this world will sweep you under. You’ll wake up one day and realize you’ve been lost in the crowd, swallowed up by the world’s distractions.
This is why we desperately need the Holy Spirit. You cannot walk this path without Him. We need to start practicing silence again. We need to sit still. Listen within. Wait. Meditate. You’re in the market and about to buy something, pause: “Holy Spirit, should I buy this?” You want to reply someone sharply, pause: “Holy Spirit, is this what You want?” That inner stirring? That small check in your heart? That is Him. Obey that stirring. Even if you’re not 100% sure, start training your obedience by following that voice.
The more you obey, the clearer He becomes. The more you yield, the louder His whisper grows. Grace flows into you. You will feel it: power, boldness, conviction. Your spiritual senses awaken. You start dreaming heaven’s dreams. You begin to hear secrets. You begin to see with clarity. These are the disciplines that have changed my own life, just sitting with Him. Locking the world out. Letting Him speak.
And to mothers reading this, your children have that same depth. That same container is in them. Are you filling their spirits with Christ, or are you handing that space over to demons in disguise? Are you letting the media fill their hearts with witches, monsters, wizards, and magical wands from cartoons and series? Are you shaping their spirits with the Word or giving them to the world? Food for thought, sis.
Lastly, if you’ve been baptized in the Holy Spirit, it doesn’t end there. He can live in you but still be dormant. The power can be inside you and still feel like you’re empty. It’s not just about having Him, it’s about obeying Him. Surrendering to Him. You can carry God and still live like an orphan. You can host the Holy Spirit and still feel hungry, defeated, sorrowful, bitter, fearful. Why? Because your spirit has God in its depth, but your soul and body are blocking His flow.
You must break through the noise. You must push past your feelings. You must stir the waters. Stir the Spirit. Light the fire. Tear the veil. Or else, you’ll remain frustrated, living with a generator in your compound but no light in your room. The fuel is in the tank, the wires are connected, but until you pull the lever, you’ll still sit in darkness.
Sister, pull the lever. Stir the Spirit. Let Him move. Let Him take over. Let the promise of the Father rule from your spirit, flow into your soul, and transform your life.
STIRRING THE WATERS
Dear sister, it is that special moment. 10 good minutes of stirring the waters, of praying in the Holy Ghost. Please gladly take this short pause. Let the instrumental below play and just stir. Don’t rush this. Pray in the Spirit. Abba to Daughter. Spirit to Spirit.
And if you haven’t received the gift of the Holy Spirit yet? This is YOUR TIME! Cry out to Abba: “Father, fill me! Baptize me! Immerse me in Your Spirit! I need You for life, Holy Spirit, come. Baptize me with the Holy Ghost and Father, please grant me another pentecost in Jesus Name”
Let’s start stirring.
TAKE CHARGE
We are daughters, let’s take charge over the territories where we are represented right now.
Father, by Your mighty Name, I sanctify my body, my home, and my atmosphere right now. I cover myself with the blood of Jesus (Revelation 12:11) and declare every strange spirit, every demonic stronghold, to flee by fire (Psalm 34:7). I cleanse this place and myself from every trace of darkness (2 Corinthians 6:17). Let Your Holy Spirit fill this space and my life with Your perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3). I take authority as Your beloved daughter and refuse to be moved. In Jesus’ Name, Amen!
START PRAYING
Sis, if you’ve ever prayed before, now is the time to turn it up! You’re not here to joke.

Lord, I repent of silencing the Spirit. I have grieved You by disobedience. Today, I yield again. Take over my life! In Jesus’ Name!
-
Holy Spirit, You are in me, now flow through me. Touch my family, my work, my words, my walk. Fill every space again! In Jesus’ Name!
C. FOR THOSE WHO WALK IN POWER BUT ARE HUNGRY FOR MORE
-
Father, I thank You for the rivers already flowing, but I want more! Let it become a flood! In Jesus’ Name!
-
Oh Lord, I will not plateau in the Spirit. Take me deeper! Let there be new tongues, fresh fire, divine visitations! In Jesus’ Name!
-
Holy Spirit, expand my capacity. Stretch my spirit to carry more of You! Birth nations through me! In Jesus’ Name!
-
Jesus, I cry out for refilling! Refill me again and again. Let my cup overflow for the assignment ahead! In Jesus’ Name!
-
Father, I will not be stale. I want fresh encounters, fresh instruction, and fresh anointing! Pour it out, Lord! In Jesus’ Name!
-
Lord, let the Spirit within me begin to impact those around me. Let fire leap from me and light others up! In Jesus’ Name!
-
Father, make me a portal for heaven’s power. Let miracles, healing, and deliverance follow my yielded life! In Jesus’ Name!
NOW DECLARE:
My spirit bursts alive with power. I am stirred, awakened, and fully alive right now. Holy Spirit, flow through every part of me and saturate my life. I am a vessel of fire, unstoppable and overflowing with God’s presence. The power of God rises within me like a rushing river, flooding every dry place. I refuse to walk in weakness; I walk boldly in strength and courage. My spirit carries heaven’s glory everywhere I go, shining bright and roaring with authority. I declare victory over every fear, doubt, and stronghold in Jesus’ Name. I am filled, anointed, empowered, and ready for all God has called me to do. The Spirit of God consumes me, fills me, and overflows from me to others. My life is a living altar of worship, power, and praise. I step forward in faith, led by the Spirit, unstoppable in purpose. Every dry place within me is drenched with the fire of God. I am a Spirit-filled woman, a carrier of heaven’s fire and glory. In Jesus’ Name, I rise up, I shine bright, and I roar bold.
STANDING IN THE GAP
Now, please intercede. Stand in the gap for others. Take these three as if they were yours:
ONE: I have 4 months to go to round up my masters program but the ethical approval from the hospitals that I need to retrieve data from is not forthcoming, I want God to touch the heart of everyone concerned in the two places I submitted to approve the proposal so I can begin data collection to meet up with October project defense in Jesus name, Amen
TWO:God should take away anxiety, fear, worry and overthinking from my life. I had anxiety attacks in the past and I was able to get better but sometimes the trauma from the whole thing begins to come back. I need the peace of God and His presence every second and day of my life
THREE: Lord, please settle me maritally. I discovered that over the years the only prayer that remained unanswered in my prayer Journal is on Marital settlement… Lord please remember me this Juicy July.
Secondly, I applied for a grant Tetfund scholarship for my PhD since last year and it’s yet to get approved.. I got information this June that the request is still in the VC office yet to be sent to Abuja and also that the VC hasn’t approved any Tetfund application since he resumed office… I want God to arise on my behalf and intervene, I want the application to be approved this year. Lord Favour me
FATHER’S CORNER
Let the instrumental below play freely while you talk to God. Imagine Him seated right before you. Now, start to talk to Him like you can see Him. Heaven is open. Your Father is right before you. Ask away! Ask real things, meat, not chaff. It’s you and Him now. Spend this 10 minutes well, unrushed. spend more time if you so desire but make sure you spend time with your father. I can promise you before July ends, you’d start to have encounters you never knew existed! Ayaaa… Just open your mouth and let it pour! Amen!
Round off with thanksgiving when you are done.
