MAKE A PLEDGE TO FIGHT by Elaine Davenport (Sunday, July 15, 2007)

Heavenly Father, I have boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus. (Hebrews 10:19) I will not cast away my confidence in you regarding this situation that I face or am enduring because I KNOW that it hath great recompense of reward). (Hebrew 10: 35) I am the just and I live by faith. (Hebrews 10: 38)


I will fight the good fight of faith. Thereby I will lay hold on the eternal life that I have been called to and I will continue to profess a good profession before many witnesses. (1Timothy 6: 12) I thank you Father that Your hand is upon and on this situation that I face. I thank You that You are God and that You are able to make all grace abound toward me that I ALWAYS have all sufficiency in ALL things and that I may abound
(be plentiful, thrive and flourish) to every good work! (2 Corinthians 8: 8)
Thank you Father for being the God of all comfort. (2 Corinthians 1: 3)


I thank you that You comfort me in all of my tribulation. (2 Corinthians 1: 4) My faith is in Your power. (1 Corinthians 2: 5) I have the God kind of faith. (Mark 11: 22) If a problem is in front of me or hindering me; it is a MOUNTAIN! Therefore, I “say” unto the mountain in front of me: BE THOU REMOVED _______________ (speak whatever it is) AND BE THOU CAST INTO THE SEA. (Mark 11: 23) Because I believe and have NO DOUBT in my heart; I will have what I say. God’s Word says so and I BELIEVE GOD. In Jesus Name, AMEN

Hold Fast To Your Profession of Faith by Elaine Davenport (Saturday, July 14, 2007)

Occasionally I meet faith people who don't understand faith. I sympathize because I totally understand. We always have to remember that no matter how terrible any situation may be; that God can handle it. Maybe, we can't, but He can.


Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen. Hebrews 11: 1

Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him. Hebrews 11: 6
By faith, Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he went. Hebrews 11: 8



Dearest Friend, Blessings to you and yours. It is with great joy that I write to you today because I have been on quite a journey and I am relieved to have my feet settled and be in my right place, even though my journey continues. I am writing to you today to encourage you and to tell you to hold your chin up and to stand tall and be proud. Whatever you may be facing; you are not in it alone. I am praying for you. Prayer warriors are praying for you; but that’s not all. You see, behind the scenes, angels are moving and God the Father is arranging things so that you may have perfect peace. You just have to stay focused on God and speak the truth; the truth of Gods’ Word. I want to talk to you about your faith and my faith.

Do you believe God? Do you believe His Word? Either you do or you don’t. Everyday your faith will be tested. EVERYDAY.

*One morning after leaving prayer, I was walking next to a fellow prayer warrior. I said with my mouth: “I hate these dizzy spells that I have. I can hardly see or walk.” My friend looked at me and shook her head. She seemed angry. She said: “I don’t believe it.” She went on to say something like we just left prayer and you thanked God for hearing your prayers and ANSWERING them and now you’re out here confessing sickness. She looked at me as if to say: “WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PERSON THAT WAS IN THERE PRAISING GOD?”

I didn’t understand her lack of sympathy and pity at the time. I certainly didn’t like her response. I even prayed about it. Months passed and I realized this was good medicine that she gave to me. Sometimes believers go to other believers for advice and instead of a long dissertation of sympathy, they just need to hear three words: “ DO YOU BELIEVE GOD?”

YOU HAVE TO ACTIVATE YOUR FAITH by Elaine Davenport (Friday, July 13, 2007)

Today, you need to know that God will do some stuff for you,
I know that you realize that He always acts on cue,
Just like a contact number when you get a master card,
You can activate your faith, it should not be so hard,
God tells you in His word, He tells you that it’s true,
His word is full of love and you know it’s meant for you.
You want him to lift you up, protect you, be your guide,
The book is in your hand and He said: “My child, abide.”

Lift up your beautiful arms, and toward heaven reach out,
Call upon His holy name, you can even shout,
Ask Him to come beside you to go with you where you go,
He will never mislead you, He will never tell you: “No.”
Sing praises to His name and give Him all the glory,
Confess to him your woes, retell Him your lifestory,
He will not judge or leave, that much I assure,
He can ease your burdens, He can give a cure.

God loves you so very much, if you only knew,
You would never feel sad, you would not miss your cue.
He told me to really tell you how He watches o’er your life,
He’s your Shepherd and He’ll lead you- away from all the strife.
So, when you hear songs of God’s love, bouncing in your head,
Think about your spirit and how it must be fed.
God has told you many things; and you know that you’re first rate,
Feel His presence, renew your faith and enter in the gate.
