Time Stamps:
7:22: As Lajuanda and Kristene would get together and pray about the business, the grace of God on Lajuanda’s life would begin to flow. This allowed Kristene the ability to see that, instead of being her assistant, Lajuanda was being tasked through the Spirit to intercede for her business.
13:15: We all must grow into who God’s called us to be. We need to deal with our own insecurities, our own understandings, and what other people speak over us that’s not true, and we must know that God wants to use us to advance His Kingdom. True humility is taking hold of those things allowing Him to transform us.
16:16: Intercession is all about gaining territory so that we might get above what the enemy is trying to steal, kill, or destroy. It’s partnering with God to expose the schemes of the enemy and create a pathway of breakthrough for personal reasons, for people, your church, businesses, or nations.
21:34: We need to ask the questions, think these through, pray these things through, and get God’s heart in the matter because there has been an abuse of the gifts.
26:25: We must begin to think these through considering our view of money. Do we see money as something we put too much security in making it an idol or as something that simply needs to be stewarded well for Kingdom purposes?
32:21: Intercession is the prayer that helps us let go of the lack we have experienced: the unhealed places within, the dry and arid places in our lives, and the deceptive schemes of the enemy who wants to rob us of the abundant blessing of God.
38:22: Learning to stay in God’s rest is us staying in the blessing of God–staying in His presence and trusting God, allowing Him to work. God’s blessing is tangible, and He wants to pour that blessing out upon His people. It’s back to the idea of living in the garden.
40:00: The question to ask is: Am I going to try to bring about God’s blessing on my own terms; or am I going to come at it through prayer, depending upon His timing, and allow Holy Spirit to lead the way? In all of that, you find the ministry of intercession.
