DAY 2: SPIRIT TO SPIRIT: THE ONLY WAY IN!

TEXT: JOHN 4:23-24; MATTHEW 6:6

BIBLE STUDY: JOHN 2

Beloved sister, welcome to Day 2 of Juicy July 2025! Oh, what a joy that you made it here again today, glory to God! The spiritual juices have only just begun to flow, and it’s about to get deeper, sweeter, and more intense! If Day 1 stirred something in your heart, get ready, Day 2 is that divine push into deeper waters. The Lord is drawing us beyond the surface today and my prayer is that our spirits indeed journey with Him. 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.

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:

Sisters praise the Lorrrrrrrd!!

God has been so faithful to me and mine. I bless God for His vessel whom He is using to bless this house: Mama Yaks. I pray the oil upon your head will never run dry ma. God bless you so much in Jesus name. Amen

I realised I’ve been keeping last year’s Juicy July testimonies but I’m here now to give all glory to God for prayers answered.

Last year, I shared my requests with the house to join me in prayers for my wayward siblings’ salvation and to the glory of God, my sister and cousin are now born-again and recieving discipleship in the Word. Shortly, after Juicy July my sister gave her life to Christ in the most unconventional manner. My sister in particular is someone that gave everyone in the family so much headache with her lifestyle. Everyone gave up on her at a point, in fact till today, my mother still marvels at the transformation she sees in her daughter. She almost cannot believe it’s the same person that troubled her so much from a young age. It’s a long story, but to the glory of God my sister is redeemed by the blood and growing in faith. We’re trusting God to do it for my remaining siblings.

Another prayer request I shared was for my friend who was on the verge of being rejected for a visa and losing a huge opportunity. His visa got approved on August 13th, just two weeks after Juicy July. Chaii Jehovah Overdo!

One more request was for my friend who was sick and needed funds to sort her house rent. In that same August, she got a remote job that paid in 6-figures and she was able to clear her bills. She was also miraculously healed of all the pains she was feeling and stopped taking medication that same month.

I’m so grateful to God for these answers and many more on the way. Glory be to Jesus!

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.

EXHORTATION: SPIRIT TO SPIRIT: THE ONLY WAY IN!

So, my grandmother died. We went to the village, and there we were, right there, around her body. While everyone else was just… there looking at her, perhaps not too moved, maybe thinking “Well, that’s the end of life”, something different was happening to me.

I couldn’t just look at her body and move on.

My grandmother had always been bubbly, energetic, so sweet, so concerned about people. And yet, there she was. Still. Lifeless. Lying in a wooden box. And she was… gone.

Her body was right in front of me. But she was gone. Gone!

I looked at her and I couldn’t shake it.

“This cannot be all there is.”

I’d always been a deeply inquisitive person. From when I was younger, I’d look at myself in the mirror and ask, “Where are you? Who are you?”

I just knew there was more to me than the image staring back at me. That couldn’t be the whole story. That bag of bones in the mirror wasn’t the full picture. And I was determined to find out what else there was.

But the day my grandmother died, it hit differently. It wasn’t just some random person anymore. This was someone close to home, and that proximity shook me.

I started to ask again, “God, who am I really?” I just knew that there must be more to me than this bag of bones I carry around! One minute, someone is here. The next, they’re gone. Surely, that cannot be the whole picture.

So, the fact that I have a body like everyone else is sure. Then, I also knew I had a soul. I could feel things, think, plan, cry, laugh, build, create. I could work and make money- and all that came from my soul. My mind, my brain, my personality, my will. So, that part of me that’s enterprising, intelligent, witty, emotional, that’s the soul.

But that couldn’t be all! Then I pressed further and realized that just we had been taught at the church and in the Bible, I have a spirit. Okay. Spirit? So, where is the spirit? How is it? Where are you, spirit?

But when the revelation came, ayayayaya, when it shifted from my head into my heart, from my knowledge into full experience, something shifted forever in me. My life changed.

I began to engage. I began to press in. I began to try and connect with my spirit.

Let me tell you, sis, this is not just an abstract thing. Your human spirit is real. It is tangible! But the danger is, If you don’t pay attention to your spirit… if you don’t intentionally engage and awaken it… your spirit can lie unutilized your entire life.

It can sit there in the sacred, quiet background… never being activated, never expressing its full purpose… until your final breath.

And then, sis, you stand before the Father, the One who gave you that spirit, and realize…
“I lived for my flesh. I lived for my soul. But my spirit, the real me, I ignored.”

I lived in futility. I fed my body. I pampered my emotions. I chased things in this world…But my spirit, the eternal me, was left to gather dust.

LIVING SOULS OR DEAD INDEED?

Our body, this body we spend so much time building up, adorning, flaunting, and preserving, is not even the real us.

The soul is what makes us truly alive. But to separate us from mere animals, God gave us something deeper than the soul- a spirit.

And when God breathed into man in Genesis, the Bible says: “…and man became a living soul.” (Genesis 2:7)

WHAT ARE YOU REALLY LIVING FOR?

And so, the question comes to you: What do you live for?

Do you live for the bag of bones? The makeup? The looking beautiful? The washing of yourself? The making of your hair? Just appearing good in front of the mirror?

Is that what your life is about?

Or do you live for the world, intellectually, economically, socially, Making money, writing things, achieving, pursuing, and striving… Doing things that, in the final analysis, will not matter in eternity?

Have you actually come to a realization, not just in your head, but in your heart, that you have a human spirit? A real, living, God-breathed human spirit that is hidden in your very depth?

There is something in you, deeper than skin, deeper than mind, it is your spirit.

That breath of life that God blew into man in the beginning, it is in you. But it must be engaged!!! Not just acknowledged, it must be in control, sis!

Your spirit must arise until it becomes the real you. It is more real than your bag of bones. It is more real than your emotions, your creativity, your intelligence. It must come out, rise up, and begin to soar.

Have you come to this realization yet? Because sis, until you come to this realization, you will never be able to truly contact your Father!

You cannot contact your heavenly Father with your bag of bones. You cannot contact Him through your soul, your intellect, your emotions, your personality.

The ONLY channel by which you can truly commune with your Father…is your spirit!

If your spirit is untapped, unawakened, and unutilized… If you’re unaware that there’s a spirit right inside of you, then you will never truly access God. You’ll never walk in real intimacy. You’ll never hear Him clearly. You’ll never be one with Him in the way He longs for. Your walk with God will always live in your head. It will be theory. It will be religion. It will be noise. It will never translate into your heart. Never become life. Never become spirit. Never become truth.

Oh, may your spirit come alive this Juicy July!

SPIRIT TO SPIRIT: THE ONLY WAY TO THE FATHER

So, Jesus Christ, while He was on earth, you know, He came to teach us how to be a son. That was His assignment. That’s what Jesus came for. Adam failed at doing that assignment. Adam couldn’t live as God would want His son to live.

So, the Second Adam had to come, to show us exactly how to do it. And one day, while Jesus was at the well, He met a particular woman. We popularly call her the Samaritan woman. This woman was having a chat with the Lord. And during their conversation, she said:

“You know, you Jews believe that we must come into Jerusalem before we can contact God.”

And honestly, that was correct! That was the covenant arrangement at the time. That was what was obtainable. God only had a covenant and relationship with Israel. So, to access God, yes, you had to go to Jerusalem. You had to go to the temple. You had to meet with a priest. You had to bring a sacrifice. That was the model. But Jesus said:

“Yes, that’s correct. However…”

“The time has come, and now is, where you don’t have to go to Jerusalem. You don’t have to go to any mountain. You don’t have to go to any valley.”

“Now, you just have to contact God spirit to spirit.”

Because, the Father is Spirit.

And those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:23-24)

Ayaaa, sis! There’s no shortcut. There’s no emotional bypass. There’s no geographical access point. It has to be spirit to spirit. That’s the only way.

If you want to contact God, because He is actually Spirit, you can only contact Him by your own spirit.

And that’s what the Lord was trying to make the Samaritan woman understand. That’s also exactly what we must come to terms with in our walk with God.

So, our Father is Spirit. If we must contact the Father…If we must enjoy the Fatherhood of God…If we must daily live above this world, live above its worries, its anxieties, its burdens, its lusts, its weights…If we must live beyond the reach of oppression, depression, and defeat… We must be able to contact our Father.

But here’s the truth: Our Father is hidden!!!!

To contact the Father, you must go on a journey!

YOU MUST JOURNEY!

So yes, our Father is not on the surface. Our Father is not someone you just sit down and bump into casually. No, no. You don’t just scroll on your phone and stumble into Him. He is not found through laziness or indulgence. He is not discovered through convenience.

To get to that point where you can sit in your room and genuinely say: “Father, You see this situation…”…and you’re actually able to talk to God, …and He talks back to you, …and you’re able to receive from Him, …you’re able to see visions, pick signals, hear instructions,

It means you must have journeyed. It doesn’t come on a platter of indulgence. It doesn’t come on the sofa of spiritual laziness.

You must journey in the spirit. You must build koinonia. You must engage in constant ascendancy. You must cultivate a robust spirit, alive and sensitive.

So when you sit down, your spirit can easily pick the Father’s signals. It just flows, like Wi-Fi with strong network. That was exactly how Jesus was.

JESUS AT LAZARUS’ TOMB

Jesus arrived at Lazarus’ tomb, and in that moment, He felt emotion. Yes, He shed a few tears. But then He ascended beyond the soul. He entered the spirit, and said: “Father, I thank You because You hear Me.” That was it.

Spirit to Spirit. Direct communication. No noise. No gimmicks. No drama. Just depth.

We too can get to that level. But it doesn’t come just like that. You cannot be a lazy Christian…

You don’t pray, You don’t read your Bible, You don’t fast, You don’t obey, You don’t yield …and then expect to experience the fatherhood of God?

No! The Fatherhood of God will never be real to you if your spirit is dead.

If your spirit is unexercised, If your spirit has no voice, no strength, no dominion, If your body and your soul are running the show, then don’t expect to feel the reality of God as Father.

You can say, “Abba Father” all you want with your mouth, but if your spirit is not alive, you won’t know what you’re saying.

And that’s one of the major attacks of the devil! Satan wants your spirit to remain in the background. Why? Because he knows that once your spirit comes alive, once you begin to contact the Father, once you begin to ascend into sonship and intimacy, he has lost his grip on you!

So he works overtime to keep your spirit in bondage. He fills your day with distractions, noise, cares, movies, gossip, food, sleep, addictions, TikTok, fear, and busyness.

He will keep you obsessed with your bag of bones, pampering your flesh, doing hair, flexing your nails, adorning your outer shell.

Or keep you trapped in your soul, emotions, money-making, mind games, selfish ambition.

All of this, so that you will never pay attention to your spirit.

IF YOU MUST CONTACT THE FATHER…

You must rise above flesh and soul. Your Father, who is in secret, your Father, who is in the depths, your Father, who is Spirit…You must find Him in the spirit.

As we are seated right now, He is here. He is present. He is omnipotent. He is omnipresent. But we cannot find Him with our eyes. We cannot touch Him with our emotions. We cannot sense Him with our logic. Only the spirit can find the Spirit.

But alas, because of the Fall of man, our spirits dropped low. Our spirits became dull. Our spirits became secondary.

Now if we must rise and say: “Oh Daddy… You’ve been here all along!” Our spirit must come alive again!!!

OUR FATHER IS HIDDEN

Yes, sis, our Father is hidden. But what does that mean?

Proverbs 25:2 says:

“It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.”

It is God’s delight to hide things. Why? Because He wants us to grow. He wants us to stretch. He wants us to rise in our spirit.

From the beginning, it wasn’t so. In Eden, our spirit was supposed to be in charge. God made man to function spirit-first. Access to God was normal. Natural. Constant.

But what happened? We didn’t choose Him. Adam and Eve chose another voice, the voice of Satan. And so, our spirit fell. It dropped in rank. It became buried under the weight of flesh and soul.

Now, those things that were once easy, Revelation, connection, communion, clarity …are now hidden.

We must search out those hidden treasures. We must awaken our spirits and search in the spirit. Only when we search in the spirit will the Lord begin to reveal His wisdom to us.

That’s why the scripture says:

“Call to Me and I will answer you, and show you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” (Jeremiah 33:3)

But how will you call, if your spirit is asleep? How will you search, if your spirit is unexercised?

THE TABERNACLE: A SHADOW OF YOU!

So, in the Old Testament, there was this structure called the Tabernacle. And if you have studied the Scriptures well, you will realize this: There are certain things in the Old Testament that were pictures, shadows, of what was to come in the New Covenant.

We no longer live under the Old Covenant. We live under the New Covenant. But many of those Old Covenant practices and patterns were examples, shadows to help us understand the deeper spiritual truths we now walk in. One of the clearest examples of this is the Tabernacle.

In the Old Testament, the Tabernacle was where God lived. It was literally in the middle of the Israelite camp, the very center. So whenever someone wanted to confess sin, Or the priest needed to offer sacrifices, Or they were seeking the presence of the Lord, they would go to the Tabernacle.

That’s us now. That’s our bodies now. We are now the Tabernacle of the Living God. That’s where God dwells.

THREE PARTS OF THE TABERNACLE = THREE PARTS OF MAN

The Tabernacle was built in three parts:

The Outer Court
The Holy Place
The Holy of Holies

That is exactly how we are, sis.

The Outer Court is our human body, the part people can see.
The Holy Place is our soul, our mind, will, and emotions.
The Holy of Holies is our spirit, the innermost, deepest, sacred place where true communion happens.

And the Holy of Holies? That’s where God dwells.

OUTER COURT CHRISTIANITY

Now let’s look at the Outer Court, our bodies.

If you check the Tabernacle in the Old Testament, that’s where the ceremonies happened, the activities, the sacrifices, the noise, the gathering, the movement.

People saw you there.
People noticed your actions there.
People said, “Ah, she’s really working for the Lord.”
You bring your ram, your offering, your worship…
You look busy. You look spiritual.

But listen, sis: If that’s all you’re doing, just activity in the Outer Court, you haven’t even started to contact the Father. Because, guess what? God is not in the Outer Court!!!

THE TABERNACLE WITHIN

So now, we go beyond the Outer Court, and we enter in… and then we see the Holy Place. This Holy Place is where the priest stays. The sons of the priest, the Levites, that’s where they operate. That’s where the candlelight is. That’s where the table of showbread is. It’s an amazing place to be!

It’s deeper. You are closer to God now. You can feel the emotions. You can feel the fire. It’s deep. You may even shed tears, because this is the place where things begin to make sense to your soul.

Here, you are worshipping from the soul. You now understand more than those in the Outer Court. You have revelation, you have feelings, you have insight.

But listen closely, sis: Even this can’t carry you through. Because… you still haven’t met with Him. You’ve still not pressed beyond into the Spirit, where He, the Father, is found. You’ve still not dug into the depths where the God who dwells in secret can be contacted.

THE INNER PLACE: THE HOLY OF HOLIES

Now, there is a deeper place. There is an inner place, an inner chamber…That place is the Holy of Holies.

In the old Tabernacle, only one man, the High Priest, could go there. Only one person at a time. He didn’t go in casually. He went in by the blood of the lamb, a shadow of the blood of Jesus. There was a thick curtain, a veil, dividing the Holy Place from the Holy of Holies. That veil was what separated man from the presence of God.

Now listen carefully, sis: That curtain? It still exists in the lives of many believers today. Yes, Jesus has come. Yes, He tore the veil at the cross so we could have access. But many of us are still divided within ourselves.

Our soul and our spirit are muddled up. We can’t even find the dividing line anymore. Everything is just mixed. Our emotions take over and masquerade as spirituality. We feel something and assume it’s deep. But feelings are not always spirit!

And this is where the devil has done a very good job, sadly. He’s blurred the line between soul and spirit. So now, people think they are walking with God, but it’s only emotions. They think they are communing, but it’s just vibes. They cry during worship, but never enter in.

And that is exactly why the Bible says the Word of God is like a double-edged sword. It is sharp enough to divide soul and spirit.

We must come to a deep realization that our soul and our spirit are two different things. They are distinct, and each has its place.

But the battle is that the spirit must rule the soul, not the soul ruling the spirit. We need to arise! We need to cut them asunder! We need to break through and enter into the Holy of Holies, the very place where God dwells. Only there, when we burst open that curtain, will we begin to see: “So you’ve been here all along…”

Yes, God has been right there. But we couldn’t see Him. We couldn’t sense Him. We were worshipping in the body and the soul, thinking that was enough. But it was only a step away. If we would just arise and meet Him in the spirit, all things change. That is the issue! That is the only place where God is truly found.

You don’t need any other light there, He is the light there. That is where the true encounters happen. The cherubim cover the mercy seat, the throne of God, and the glory fills that place.

Sis, I pray that the Holy Spirit impacts your heart with revelation, so you know this beyond head knowledge. Because many know this truth. Many preach it. Many teach it. But few experience it. And it is in the experience of this reality that our liberation comes. It is in this encounter that we truly begin to live.

If not, we will continue to suffer. We will chase meaningless things. We will compare ourselves to others. We will struggle and live like orphans, even though we are in the church!

This is the heart of the matter.

THE CLARION CALL

And so, this is the cry today. I’m here to excite that spirit within you, to make you realize there is something more. Actually, there is more to this life! If you start to live from your spirit, in and out, you will see your life begin to nexus, it directs your going out and coming in. It begins to reveal things to you that make you know life is more than what you see. You’ll begin to experience joy in your chaos. You’ll have life in your death. Things will begin to happen around you, but you will no longer be living from this realm. You will be operating from a realm
different from the realm everyone else can see.

That is exactly the call today, sis, to come higher!

You begin to see beyond every other person. You begin to enter another dimension, another strength. And that is the call today, that you tell your soul:

“You know what? Soul, I’m pushing you aside. You are no longer in charge. My spirit is in charge.”

We need to go on a journey to find this spirit and this spirit must rule the soul. Rule your intelligence. Rule your emotions.

That is where God is. It is more than emotions. It is more than activities. He is in the depth, in the secret, hidden place, Spirit to spirit, father to daughter.

When you begin to truly realize Him, when you sit at His feet, you will never want to leave. It will no longer be a place you just visit. It will be a place you want to dwell. You cannot leave that place. The tastebud is changed. You cannot sit with the King in His glory, the Father of life, and then go back to your old life unchanged. It is forever changed. You are changed from the inside out. The glory is too bright to ever want to leave. It is too bright to just visit once in a while.

As soon as you come into contact with Him, you will always want to go back. There will be a longing in your spirit. And that is it, sisters.

Can we exercise our spirits? Can we understand that we are more than the bag of bones and our souls? That we have a spirit? And that spirit is the only part of us that can contact God?

Can we understand the truth? Yes, we need to know doctrines, but the truth must always go into the spirit, truth and spirit, that’s how we worship, that’s how we contact our Father.

Can your spirit just cry out within you, sister?

Father, Father, I need You. Give me the power to bring my soul under control, to bring my body under control, to rise up in my spirit, to have a spirit that is alive!”

If you are longing for a personal, deeper relationship with Him, you must rise in your spirit. And you don’t have to have been born again for 10 years or 20 years. You could have just been born again today, and your relationship starts today!

Look at Paul, the apostle. He gave his life fully to the Lord, and then he went on a honeymoon with God for two years, in Arabia. He was alone with the Lord. And you can see the expanse of Paul’s life, the depth of revelation and mysteries of the Church he shared with us, because he went on that koinonia with God. He went on a journey, a field trip, a honeymoon with God.

What about you? What about you, dear sisters?

God is not hiding from you. He’s not saying, “Oh, you should just stay frustrated and hidden.”

No! It is His deep desire that you come higher.

He is saying: “Yes, come higher. My daughter, come up higher. I need you. I need your spirit to be alive so that you can hear what I’m saying.” I’m talking to your spirit, your inner being, but you can’t hear Me because you are dead inside. Your spirit is down. You’re just going through the motions. You’re just doing religion, just doing services. I need you to be spiritual. I need you to come alive.

Can you also cry back at Him that: I want to find my Father. I want to find my God who is in the secret.

OUR EXAMPLE

So, as the firstborn, the firstborn among many brethren, Jesus is our perfect example. He is the one who bore the race perfectly before us, the author, the beginner, and the finisher of our faith.

That was exactly what He did: always in the Spirit, always in tune, in sync with His Father, always being led by His Father.

He said in John 5 that He did nothing of His own self; it was only what He saw the Father doing, what the Father revealed to His eyes, everything. That was all He did.

What about us?

Jesus lived in the Spirit. You could almost see Him every now and then, breathing in the Spirit,
doing everything according to the prescription that heaven gave.

What about you?

Whose prescription are you following? Who is guiding your life?

Is it the world? The trends? Social media? Your desires and passions and dreams?

What exactly guides you? What is the formula by which you live?

You were not sent here on earth just to exist, you were sent for a purpose. And you will never be able to achieve that purpose if you do not realize the Father who is in secret.

We are going to be praying today.

If there is a you to pray, there is a Him who answers.

He delights in your prayers. He delights in revealing Himself, but your spirit must come alive so you can hear the voice of the Spirit.

A dog cannot fully understand the voice of a human until it has been trained. A human cannot fully understand the voice of the Spirit until they have been trained.

Your body cannot be trained to hear God. Your soul cannot be trained to see God. Your spirit is the one that can be trained, and it needs to come higher. That is exactly what we are doing today.

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.

Thanksgiving

Abba Father, I thank You! Thank You for calling me higher, for drawing my attention beyond what I can see, touch, or understand.

Thank You for tearing veils and opening my heart to search for You in the depths.

Thank You for the Word, for breaking the silence, and for reminding me that You are not far, you are just in the secret. Father, I bless You!

Thank You for not giving up on me, for not leaving me to wander aimlessly. I return all the glory to You!

Father, thank You for light! Thank You for truth that is breaking like dawn in my soul. Thank You for making this message so clear and simple that I can no longer deny it.

I pray, Lord, let this revelation not be stolen from me! Let it become a fire shut up in my bones. Let this Word grow roots in my heart. Let it not just excite me, it must change me! I will not just hear and walk away. I receive understanding and retention in Jesus’ name!

Confession

Father, forgive me! Forgive me for paying so much attention to my face but not my spirit.

Forgive me for caring about how I look on the outside while my spirit was starving.

Forgive me for feeding my body and soul daily, but ignoring the very engine room of my life.

Forgive me for chasing shadows, Lord. I have worshipped my job, my desires, my image, but forgotten the breath of life You placed within me. I return to You today. Have mercy, Lord!

Self Deliverance

In the name of Jesus, I break free from the lies of sight!

Every hold of physical beauty, material ambition, carnal distractions, loose me and let me go!

I refuse to be deceived by certificates, by applause, by trends. My eyes will no longer lead me astray in Jesus’ Name

I command my soul to reject what is temporal and cleave to what is eternal. Lord, deliver me from this earthly blindness! From today, I will no longer be ruled by what I see, but by the Spirit that sees all!

Commanding the Spirit Within

(Place your hand on your chest and cry)

Oh you, my spirit, come alive in the name of Jesus! I command you, arise from the ashes!

Receive fresh breath, fresh fire, fresh oil! No longer shall you lie dormant while my soul and body run the show.

I call you forth from hiding, from weakness, from slumber, take your place!

Rule as you were made to rule. My spirit, be quickened by the Holy Ghost! Be ignited again! Let every deadness disappear, let every laziness catch fire.

Spirit of the living God, possess me! (7x)

Oh, For Grace

Father, I receive grace! Grace to stop living from the emotions, from the intellect, from the bag of bones! Grace to begin a new walk in the Spirit.

I receive power to crucify the flesh, to silence the soul, and to prioritize my spirit man.

Holy Spirit, tutor me, mentor me, help me walk by the Spirit and not by sight.

From today, I will not be ordinary. I will not be carnal. I will not live in the shallows. I choose to live in the deep, in sync with You, Father!

Now Declare with Fervency

In the name of Jesus, I declare, I AM NOT ORDINARY! I am not just a bag of bones. I am not just a pretty face. I am not just emotions and intelligence. I have a spirit, and from today, my spirit comes alive!

I arise from slumber. I arise from deception. I arise from distractions. I shake off the dust of the flesh! I shake off the pride of the soul! I arise and ascend into the holies of holies where my Father waits for me!

I receive divine access! I receive divine strength! I receive divine focus! I receive divine hunger! I will not be satisfied with religion anymore! I will not settle for emotional goosebumps! I want the real God, the God who hides in the secret! And I will find Him!

From today, I no longer live from the outside in. I live from the inside out! I am a woman of the Spirit. I am led by the Spirit. I am empowered by the Spirit. I will see what others cannot see. I will hear what others cannot hear. I will walk in what others cannot walk in.

Let my spirit catch fire! Let my altar be rebuilt! Let my eyes open! Let my ears open! Let my spirit rise and soar like never before! In the Mighty Name of Jesus!

STANDING IN THE GAP

Now, please intercede. Stand in the gap for others. Take these three as if they were yours:

ONE: Before I was born my dad had started building his house in the village and till now I’m over 30 years that house is still not built. Lately my younger brother went there with my dad because termites has been eating part of the house, he told us that untill that house is complete before we can be free , that our progress is attached to the completion of that house. Please The Bud Family join me in praying.

TWO: 1. I want God to intervene in my husband’s health. Heal him of High BP, kidney and liver challenges and grant him wholeness in his body, soul and spirit.

2. I want God to intervene in the life of my 3yrs old son. He is so strong willed, hardly obey instructions and self willed. I want God to touch his heart, visit him this Juicy July with a circumcised heart. That my children be taught of the LORD and their peace be great.

3. I want God to intervene in our finances as a family, deliver us from struggling, living from hand-to-mouth, bless all that we put our hands to do, rebuke devourers, cankerworm and caterpillars for our sake And teach our hands to create and sustain wealth.

THREE: The Lord is always preparing something great for me during juicy July that why the devil does all he can to stop me from participating fully. The first juicy July I attended was 2023 and all of a sùdden, I fell sick and couldn’t continue, 2024 i participated but on day 11 or so, my phone went bad and I couldn’t fix it. Please pray for me that whatever the devil may be planning to prevent me from participating fully and receiving my blessings this year will not come to fruition it won’t see the light of the day. Also pray for me that I will receive spiritual uplifting and enter into a better relationship with God

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.
