Mornings With the Holy Spirit: Breakthrough Prayers and Prophecies

For the launch of my new prophetic devotional, Mornings With the Holy Spirit, I'm launching a week of special prayer calls. I'll read a devotion for the day, and launch into prayer with you and for you.
In today's call, we focused on breakthrough prayer and prophecy broke out! Click the headline to access the link to the prayer call.

Death Threats on Both Sides of Gay Rights Debate Need to Stop!
I've said it many times: Radical “Christian” activists can be just as nasty as radical gay activists in the culture wars. The Westboro Baptist Church certainly proves my point with its bona fide hate speech and repulsive funeral protests.
If this Kansas pastor's claim is true, though, traditional marriage supporters have gone way too far—way, way too far.
Jackie Carter, a pastor at First Metropolitan Church in Wichita, Kansas, says she's getting death threats for performing gay weddings. Carter has been holding the ceremonies since a federal judge struck down gay marriage there in November.
Why Are Some Pastors So Against Intercession?
I believe prayerlessness is the greatest sin in the church—and unfortunately some leaders are propagating this sin and discouraging those with prayer burdens from cooperating with the Spirit of God to bring His will to the earth.
I've seen for years how prayer is lacking in many churches. Even churches that do have prayer meetings often relegate intercessors to the back of the church lest their effectual fervent prayer offend the lukewarm saints. But a recent message I received on my Facebook page really took the proverbial cake.
A precious and confused saint wrote: “Can you please give us clarity. I hear pastors say God did not call intercessors and you can't find it in the bible. He said only Jesus can intercede. Thank you.”
Intercessors, Will You Respond to This Call From God?
The setting was festive with Christmas décor and cookies but the discussion was holy. I was sitting in the governor's mansion with about 75 pastors and leaders from around the country—including Mike and Cindy Jacobs, Pastor Jim and Rosemary Garlow,...

Feeling Oppressed? Learn to Discern Intercessory Prayer Burdens
I was sitting on the edge of a worn-out bed in a foreign city with my head in my hands trying to shake off a flood of disturbing emotions. I knew I couldn't effectively minister until I got to the root of the issue.
“What is wrong with me, Lord? I have absolutely no reason to feel this way. What is going on?” I pled with the Lord to reveal the root. I felt like my world was coming to an end; like there was no hope for a better tomorrow; like quitting and giving up. I started praying in the Spirit and then entered another plea.
“What is happening, Lord?” This time, He replied.

LISTEN: Discerning Your Call Into Prophetic Ministry
There is a lot of confusion regarding the call into prophetic ministry. Many Christians are looking for confirmation. “How can I tell if I am called to be a prophet?”
This is an important question. In order to walk worthy of your calling, you first need to be confident God has called you. Once you are sure, you can count the cost and decide whether or not to embrace the spiritual battle that lies ahead. Although I generally discount “checklists” that tell you whether or not you are an apostle or prophet or operate in some other ministry gifting, there are practical ways for believers to confirm a prophetic calling in their own hearts. In this prophetic roundtable teleconference, Clay Nash and Jennifer LeClaire will share Scriptures and practical experience about how to discern God’s call into prophetic ministry.

LISTEN: Spiritual Warfare Realities: Practical Instruction for Battle
Wondering why it always seems like you are under attack? Are you weary from the battle? Need to hone your spiritual warfare skills? You are not alone—and you are an overcomer.
1 Peter 5:8 says the enemy roams about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour and 2 Corinthians 2:11 warns us not to be ignorant of the devil’s devices. Clearly, there are prophetic spiritual warfare strategies and weapons we can wield to enforce the victory Jesus won on Calvary in our lives. Join Clay Nash and Jennifer LeClaire for this telephone seminar where we’ll discuss spiritual warfare from a practical and revelatory perspective. You’ll walk away encouraged and ready to run to the battle line! Click the headline to access the page with the streaming audio link.

A Powerful Prophetic Promise for the Weary
If perception is reality, then a godly perspective of your trials and tribulations can deliver you from your worst enemy: your own unrenewed mind.
I can't tell you—and, in fact, I'd probably be embarrassed to admit—just how many times I've allowed the perspective of my unrenewed mind to dictate my thoughts, feelings and emotions in the midst of what I perceived as overwhelming pressure. I can't tell you how many times I didn't think I could take another step; how many times I felt like giving up, calling it quits, throwing in the towel—and moving to some remote tropical island where the devil was less likely to find me.
Then after completely discouraging myself (instead of doing what David did and encouraging myself in the Lord), I discover that the pressure isn't as pressing as my perception of reality made it out to be. I was foiled by the enemy that is my unrenewed mind. I took the bait—hook, line and sinker—by looking at the smoke and mirrors of circumstantial evidence through eyes weary from the spiritual battle. (Can I get a witness? Surely, I'm not the only one.)
