Many years ago, I had a conversation with The LORD that began with “My greatest desire is to be intimate with you” and I am still saying that when I begin to Pray.

I recently found my Notebook from 1995 and those words were my opening Prayer!

I had to stop and smile as I began to Pray.  I said  “LORD, I am intimate with you and it is still my heart’s desire!”

Then I stopped and pondered a little while about this one truth, ‘we are truly creatures of habit’.

The only problem with that is we must make sure it is still our greatest desire and we are not just repeating something we have ‘gotten used to’.

As I sat in stillness, He spoke softly,  “I have called My People — My Friends.

True friendship is becoming rare on earth in these end-times.

When you are intimate with Me, you are never lonely.  You find a peace of mind and never need sympathy.

I desire for the hearts of My Chosen to find their identity and strength in My Presence.

I bring you Blessed Assurance once again that you must trust the leadership of The Holy Spirit one step at a time.

You must take Authority over the spirit of fear and unbelief that are operating at full speed in the world today.

I have given you weapons of warfare.  Always choose to remain stable as you take a stand on My Word!

I will lead you by the inner witness.  So keep your heart will great diligence that you will stand guard against double-mindedness.

You must not fall in the trap of allowing yourself to be led by your feelings.

People will always let you down. 

Circumstances will change, so take care not to ‘let yourself down’!”  says The Father God.

Remember, feelings are fickle and you must guard your spirit and take care not to cross over into the flesh.

Always write it on your heart that ‘No weapon formed against you shall prosper’ … only Believe, Beloved!

Some who are reading this might say, “Oh I know that!  That is elementary!’

But The LORD said, “No one who is double-minded will receive anything from The LORD.

Never base your life’s decisions based on money or lack, for those are some of the things the enemy always as his weapon to take you down.”

The LORD spoke to me as I was waiting before Him tonight,  “Many of My CHOSEN have habits they cannot let go of.

Also, many who once walked with Me have fallen away from their Salvation and Covenant.

Many have fallen prey to a spirit of compromise and I am here to release them and set them free.”

I feel led to leave you with this Prayer.

True, heart-felt Repentance precedes Deliverance.

Maybe this is not for you — but for a loved one.

In any case, let The LORD speak to you and receive peace that passes understanding in Jesus’ Name.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, there are area in my life ____name the habitual sins____ that I have not fully surrendered to my LORD, Jesus Christ.

LORD, forgive me of compromise.

I also ask You for courage to approach the pulling down of strongholds without reluctance or willful deception in my heart.

By the power of The Holy Spirit and in the name of Jesus, I bind the satanic influences that were reinforcing compromise and sin within me.

I submit myself to The Light of the Spirit of Truth to expose the strongholds of sin within me.

By the mighty weapons of the Spirit and the Word of God, I proclaim that each stronghold in my life is coming down!

I purpose, by the Grace of God to have only one stronghold within me: the stronghold of the Presence of Jesus Christ!

I thank You, LORD for forgiving and cleansing me from all my sins, and by The Grace of God, I commit myself to follow through in this area until even the ruins of this stronghold are removed from my Mind!

Thank you, Father God.

In Jesus’ Name, I pray!  Amen!
