"Ephphatha"

As Jesus said to the deaf man with the speech impediment, I say to my soul, my mind, my heart, and my spiritual ears "Ephphatha"~ "be opened!"

I declare that I have an open mind and heart to receive the Word and to believe it, and that I have been given the measure of faith to act upon it. I declare by faith that Jesus' Word is working to open my spiritual ears to a greater level, so that I can hear what the Spirit is saying to me personally, and to the Church.

I declare that my tongue is loosed to speak forth clearly that which is established in my heart, the truth. I declare that I have the Spirit of wisdom, revelation and understanding and that He operates freely in my life, and I am cooperating with Him as I embrace the love of the truth.

I declare with boldness to the Church, the Body of Christ, that which is the will of Father, that all our spiritual ears and hearts be open to the full revelation of the Truth of the gospel of the Kingdom of Christ, and that we all speak forth that truth as one voice.

Be open!

God's Phone Number

I'm blessed, blessed, blessed because my Abba, Daddy gave me His phone number and said I can call Him up any time I want to! I know He loves me because He makes Himself available to me 24/7. He's never too busy to listen to me, talk with me, help me, comfort me and even discipline me. I joyfully receive His discipline because that reminds me that I am for sure His child, and that He cares for me. I will make a special effort today to spend time with Him and tell Him how much I love Him. I will obey Him quickly, because that is the best way to tell Him "I love You." And I will be certain to call His number up many times just so I can hear His voice. Daddy's number: Jeremiah 33:3

"Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." Jeremiah 33:3

"For whom the LORD loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives." Hebrews 12:6

And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!" Galatians 4:6

"If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love." John 15:10
