I hope you never hear the word GLORY and think of it the same way.
Psalm 8 – God crowned him with glory.
"I’ve made you to look like me – rule like me …”
Literally crowned or clothed with the glory of God.
When people say "the truth will set you free," it is not always in the correct context. It is not always speaking of the truth of God's word.
But tonight we heard truth. The truth of God's word. The truth about His love and plans for you! I hope you never hear the word GLORY again and think of it the same way...
"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord." 2 Cor 3:18
Let's memorize this scritpure!

I was so blessed by last night's class. There were so so many things that just jumped out at me. One of the most amazing things that I heard last night was what Pastor Mary Jo said.... not to take on prayer burdens that were not intended for me. I had never ever heard something like that before and I feel it really set me free.
There are many "needs" that I have never felt much about but would always travail in prayer because it was the "right" thing to do.
But this revelation set me free. Thank you Holy Spirit and Thank you Pastor Mary Jo.
I am so looking forward to what God has in store for me and for all of us these next few weeks.
AMAZING!!!
I am so excited about this class!! The atmosphere is amazing and the sweetness of the presence of God is all over the place!! I love it!!
I am already recieving a closer relationship with the Lord through the revelations reveiled!!
Burdens are being removed knowing that God has a specific assignment for me... not EVERYTHING!
I realize understanding God better results in understanding me and others better...
I can't wait to see where my relationship with God is going to be by the end of these Classes...
Thank you guys so much for listening to the holy spirit when He said to do this class!!
Revelations upon Revelations are hitting me!!! :D
You guys are awesome!!
Mary Jo, I love your heart!!!
Last night was glorious. The thing that hit me most was how God wants quality prayers, not quantity.
There have been seasons in my Chrisitan walk where I prayed for a couple of hours, even waking in the night to pray and travail. For a few years, that is not been my experience.
While I know God doesn't care how long we pray, rather that we listen and talk with/to Him all day, I was freed up last night to pray "sentence" prayers with power and precision, and that alot of words don't make it a better prayer.
I was even able to share this concept this morning with my daughter in love for whom I gave a word a long time ago that she is "God's warrior princess." She always brings this up in our conversations and emails, and signs off with "God's warrior princess," when times get tough.
Today, I exhorted her to pray "sentence" prayers. She has a 2 year old daughter and a 1 year old son, and a 3 mos old she babysits each day!
I took it further to say she could spend a month on one Psalm, starting with Psalm 91, and take ONE VERSE into EACH DAY. A verse a day keeps the devil away, I told her!
Mary Jo, it's a delight to hear your vision, and to know you understand the difference between worship, prayer and intercession. O hallelujah! I'm following you, sista!
Praying for you as you lead the Gateway's Annies and Bills!

This morning I had several things to pray about that I've been praying for long time, but on my walk this morning, I asked first, "Father, how would you like for me to pray about this?" That question right there made it feel like a real partnership, and not just me lobbing off requests to God like throwing a ball over a fence.
In regards to what Jeanette said:
That is soo true!!! I was hanging out with God in my car today and as I was feeling a bit overwhelmed with the thought of my brother who is Away from the Lord, I asked God in utter desperateness(for lack of a better word) and I felt God wrap His loving arms around me as I heard Him say, "nothing. just sit with me... I've heard your cries. now lean on me!" Amazing!! I was amazed by the response of God that was so burden lifting... "my burden is easy, my yoke is light". It was good to just sit in God's presence with the assurance that my prayers have not gone unheard!! and just let God love on me!! He's awesome!!
I thank you for this class... as I said in an earlier comment, my relationship with Christ is reaching deeper levels!! Amazing!!
Wonderful teachings, Holy Spirit inspired and led, thank you Mary Jo and Team. My reading today from "Sparkling Gems", page 118 is so perfectly timed. The "My Confession" is: "I declare by faith that prayer is a central and segnificant part of my life. God has great spiritual adventures planned for me, and He wants to reveal them to me during my time of prayer. I am steadfast, immovable, and consistent in my time with God. Nothing is as important to me as those moments I enjoy with Him as I spend time with Him each day. He refreshes my spirit and enlightens my mind with the knowledge that He wants me to know. My prayer time is a key to the success God is giving me in my life. I declare this by faith in Jesus' name! " In appreciation and Love in Him. Bob G
Amen and Amen
There were so many "light bulbs" going off in my head last night that it's a wonder someone didn't notice!! Especially when Mary Jo mentioned that the Lord will reveal who to pray for. That really set me free! I felt guilty when I didn't feel like praying for someone or something that others were earnestly praying for, but on the other hand God will wake me up in the middle of the night and have me quoting scriptures over someone! hooray for God!

Wow you guys, I have tears in my eyes reading all these posts! I guess I always felt alone in my passions for prayer and intercession and I'm finding a whole new world of people I relate to!!! I'm so glad I've figured out this blog thing and made my way to you... I don't feel so alone now!!!
