Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

Being blessed is more than having things. Being blessed is directly related to who you receive counsel from, who you befriend, and the spiritual condition of your heart.

Today, as we pray, we beseech God to direct us on the path to blessing. We thank God for his direction on how to be blessed, and we pray that we allow the Word to do the work God sent it to do in our lives.

This morning we are grateful for the open door of deliverance. Walking through this door will not only require that we have faith, but that we TRUST the Lord with all of our heart. We must also understand that walking through the door will require change. Deliverance means freedom. We must leave the chains of low self-esteem, negative thinking, self-righteousness, self-sabotage, rebellion, and rigidness behind. Those of us that are following the prophetic decrees from the Father, through Bishop Frank A. White, understand the journey will not be easy. We must realign ourselves with God’s Word in order to continue on this path of greater works. Whatever they are, we will not be able to do them in our own power. If we are to glorify God we must do it by His power. Today, we pray that we not only see the open door of deliverance, but that we have the strength and courage to walk through it.

Our praise is a product of our perspective, and a coalition exists between our worship and healing. Our exchange of words during our daily walk determines the spiritual outcome of our day. Today, we will speak about victory, healing, and righteousness. We are determined to decree it until we see it. 

Speak and believe; your words have power! Many things dilute our understanding of God's Word. Because we live in a time where creating content is the focus regardless of integrity or worth. Words fill the air without a filter or acknowledging their innate power to cause an effect. Children are exposed to words beyond their comprehension, and adults are exposed to things that are immoral and toxic. In the midst of all of this, there is the Word of God. It is the Word that instructs us on how to conduct our speech. God's Word alerts us to how much power we have within our words: the power of life and death. As believers, we must walk circumspectly, being an example of how to use this instrument of power: our tongue. We will be held accountable for every idle Word. This sobering truth is what pushes us to pray without ceasing. Today, we take the responsibility of our words. We will speak life through the power of God's Word, and then we will believe it to come to pass. 

There is nothing more fearsome than powerful storms. It is during these times we realize our strength is small. As the southeastern portion of the country braces to be hit by a powerful storm, we look to heaven for divine protection. It is our prayer that not only will faith be increased today, but out of the ruins, testimonies of miracles, signs, and wonders come forth. Pending doom is still pending because we know a God with all power in His hands. Today, we agree that everything will be alright through it all because there is nothing impossible with God...

As we walk in new beginnings and receive the blessings of God, let us remember that God has promised new testimonies, new opportunities, new cycles of success. We will be unstoppable as we walk together in unity. This new season is for those that will be willing to align in harmony under the direction of the leader. We come against fear, confusion, lack of peace, and anxiety. Together we move forward into our season of "New Beginnings."

As we approach the Throne of Grace, we acknowledge the mercy of God that has kept us from being consumed. As we meditate on Psalm 136, we are in awe of the mercies God has released through generations so that we might have a right to the Tree of Life. We have been set free to enjoy our new beginnings...We thank God for ridding our lives of delays and hindrances. Our hearts are open to whatever God has in store...

Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
² Oh, give thanks to the God of gods!
For His mercy endures forever.
³ Oh, give thanks to the Lord of lords!
For His mercy endures forever:

⁴ To Him who alone does great wonders,
For His mercy endures forever;
⁵ To Him who by wisdom made the heavens,
For His mercy endures forever;
⁶ To Him who laid out the earth above the waters,
For His mercy endures forever;
⁷ To Him who made great lights,
For His mercy endures forever—
⁸ The sun to rule by day,
For His mercy endures forever;
⁹ The moon and stars to rule by night,
For His mercy endures forever.

Today's decree from the Father by way of Bishop FAW...

"Praise the Lord! Let the people rejoice because He has done great things! Thank you for your continued support and prayers. I am so grateful to have such a powerful intercessory prayer team...

This is what I received from the Father last evening. "Words matter!" Words have power. "Death and life are in the power of the tongue" (Proverbs 18:21) . The Devil does not have power over death and life; our own words have the power over life and death. It is out of the heart that the mouth speaks. Anything negative is death. The Word of God counteracts all the words of death spoken over our lives. That is why David said, "Thy word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against Thee."

Decree a thing, and it shall be established. The decree is law, a command released by the authority. Once a decree is declared, it cannot be changed until the person who made it has died. If an earthly king's decree has that much power, how much more do the words of the King of kings have...

I decree and declare that October is the month of new beginnings...old cycles of failure are being replaced. I decree that nothing will be able to take you away from the secret place of the Most High God. I decree that you will have the peace of God. I decree that the Hand of God is upon you right now. You will never be at a disadvantage. I decree that the light of God will shine over your destiny. I decree that you will have everything you need to complete your assignment. From this time forward, I decree that the hand of God will shield you from all evil. I decree that a wall of fire is surrounding your life right now." ...Bishop FAW

New things are always exciting, but a new beginning is even more exhilarating! God has decreed that October will be the month of new beginnings. Imagine the testimonies we will hear in the coming weeks. Get ready to rejoice with them that rejoice! We are about to experience something new!

Bishop FAW's morning decree:
"Although we have not yet crossed over into the month of October, I feel in my spirit, that October will be a month of "New Beginnings." Put that in your Prayer Journal. You will be the recipient of new blessings, new opportunities and new testimonies. I decree and I declare that October is a month of new cycles of victory, success and prosperity that are going to replace old cycles of failure. Everything about you is going to change for the better in the month of October. You will be blessed with accelerated growth and development. I call forth every individual, and every resource that is assigned to assist you to fulfill your Kingdom assignment. I decree and call it forth now, that you are favored in the month of October. This will be our month to enjoy the fullness of the abundant life that God has given to us. I decree and declare in the month of October, ABUNDANCE! You WILL enjoy the fullness of the abundant life that Christ has given you. You will live for God. You will work for God. You will walk with God, and you will worship God. I want to share with you the 136th Psalm:

136 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
² Oh, give thanks to the God of gods!
For His mercy endures forever.
³ Oh, give thanks to the Lord of lords!
For His mercy endures forever:

...Bishop FAW

It is a wonderful thing to know that not only does God hear us when we pray, but He will answer us. There is nothing that we can present to God that He cannot handle. God is well able, and we can trust Him.

We will all experience a thorn in our flesh at one time in our lives. It could be a painful memory, a job, or a situation outside of your control. Nevertheless, it is yours to bear. Always remember that God's strength is made perfect in our weakness and that His grace is sufficient to take us through.
