But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect~ life in its fullness until you overflow! John 10:10 TPTįall is in full swing. Finally, God has a prayer He can work with to help us get the abundant life He longs to give us.Ī thief has only one thing in mind~ he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. When we relinquish our “give me” prayers for a “take it all, Lord,” kind of prayer, change happens. Ultimately, the prayer that changes things is the prayer that doesn’t ask for anything, but submits everything to God. Spurgeon, Taking Possession of Our Inheritance, from So what is the prayer that changes everything? a believer) why not take a saint’s inheritance.” ~C. “Be not satisfied until you are conformed unto his image…Aspire to the utmost God can give…The highest privileges of the covenant of grace are not the monopoly of advanced saints, they are the common property of all believers…If you are a saint (i.e. Yet, hearing God’s heart over your situation is part of our inheritance as His children. While it may not be a right now word(save it for later), know that prophetic words are never a magic foretelling of your future(that’s not biblical). (…just read your Old Testament where there are plenty of prophetic words of God for us). God has been speaking His heart for His people through the prophetic for a very long time. ![]() I get you! For the record, it’s biblical. ![]() If you’re unfamiliar with the prophetic voice of God, I understand. More importantly, this experience gave me the confidence I needed to hear His voice for myself and others too. Later, I would learn to trust God speaking to me through others. But, her kind words made feel comfortable, like I was being welcomed home. As a Southern Baptist girl, I wasn’t accustomed to prophetic words and such. How could that be? She didn’t know me, but she was open to hearing God’s voice for a hungry girl who didn’t know what she was starving for in this life.Īt that time, I was just beginning to understand the Spirit-filled things at work in my life. He knew me.Īll I’d ever wanted was met in her words that flowed like honey over my heart. God says, ‘Into Me see, daughter.’ Look into God’s character and you will find the intimacy you’ve been longing for sweet girl…that’s the more you’ve been after.” Miss Betty whispered over me. The prophetic words spoken over me that night lit a passionate fire in me that’s never gone out. After the second night’s service, she pulled me aside and told me things only God knew. Lovingly, she wrapped 3 words around the longing in my heart and suddenly the more I longed for was tangible. She had something I knew I needed, but I had no idea what in the world it was.įortunately, Miss Betty saw what my heart longed for but had no words with which to communicate to her. She was unlike anyone I’d ever met before, older and wiser, and very peculiar to me. When I met Miss Betty at a women’s retreat almost a decade ago, I honestly didn’t quite get her. Then, my mind went back to Miss Betty’s secret sauce for seeing change. Nothing else had worked all my activity and repeated prayers for more hadn’t amounted to any real change in my life. But if big change was what I was after, how in the world could sitting still be the answer?īe still and know that I am God.

Change happened when I began to pray in a way I never had before.įor years I’d been praying and asking God to give me this or that…more of His character, more in my coffers so I could do more for Him, more of what I thought I needed. Honestly, I didn’t know how to pray for the breakthrough I so desperately needed. Sadly, my little girl prayers lasted long into adulthood. When I began to pray differently, big changes started happening in my life. This one shift sets off a landslide of possibility that truly changes everything. When we turn our prayers of “give me, give me, give me” to “You can take it all, God,” something miraculous happens. However, the heart behind our prayers is capable of bringing our breakthrough and some mighty big changes with it. Regrettably, there’s not one magic prayer that changes everything. Do you need a breakthrough prayer over your life? I’d be lying if I told you I had one.
