Good morning faithful warriors.

I know it’s been a while since I posted any writings. This year started out rough for my family, with the passing of my daughter- in- love Jennifer in late December, then my beloved cat and companion Miss Tina Binx also passed away a few days before Jennifer. Mid December, I had cataract surgery in my L eye a week prior to the above events. Unfortunately my eye surgery outcome was not what I hoped it would be. I still can’t see very well out of it.

I had flown down to sunny So. California in January to be with my son and my grandchildren for Jennifer’s Celebration of Life memorial. What a tribute! Though bittersweet to see my son and grandkids, I was glad to help out and support them as much as I could.

If I may petition you all for prayers for them, I would certainly appreciate it. They have a long road ahead of them. He needs the Lord in his life. I believe the Lord is pursuing him right, and will get a hold of him. Thank you.

I am glad to be back home here in the PNW in Oregon. We had record setting sunshine for the month of January. It was beautiful and crystal clear blue skies. Certainly a mood lifter.

I was especially grateful to be back in my War Room prayer closet. Oh how I missed it the week I was in California.

Sometimes being away from your normal routine makes you appreciate things even more.

So, for my devotional for today I will post:

Stop and Listen questions
Or “Time with Papa” as I sometimes call it.

I want to try something new this year with this. I’d like to implement my time with Papa during my walks with the list below, then wait and listen for Him to respond.

I plan to write these short questions on a piece of paper and carry it with me on my walk.

Usually in the past, when I take a walk with Papa, my prayers are more random “me” type prayers. Whereas, in my war room I tend to do more petition prayers for my family and others.

I hope this will bless you. And may you sense Papa’s desire to be with you and speak to your heart as you walk closely together.😊

Enjoy,
—Paula

P.S. Please feel free to add any additional questions to the list.

1. Lord, what do want me to focus on or know today?
2. Where are you leading me today?
3. What would you like to tell me right now?
4. Is there anyone you would like to lay on my heart to pray for or serve today?
5. How can I use my time to serve you?
6. God, is there a verse you’d like to bring to the forefront of my mind today.
7. How can I draw nearer to you in the busyness of my day?

GOD CAN!!

Testimony Tuesday again!
This video...all I can say is, this is why it is so important to listen and obey God's voice. You never know how He will use you. Be open. Be present. Ask God to surprise you when you step out the door for your day.

Love this! I believe the animals will be worshipping in heaven too! 🙌👏

We are equipped with supernatural power to resist the devil. 🙌🏼

Today’s Encouragement:

Even when the day feels overwhelming, remember that God’s strength is greater than your struggles. You don’t have to tackle everything at once—just take it moment by moment. He’s walking with you, guiding every step, and giving you the grace to get through. Keep going, you’re not alone.

Testimony Tuesday

Good morning prayer warriors!

I have an incredible testimony for you all today. This particular one is a little on the heavy side, only because it will tug at your heart strings, but the outcome is awesome because God is awesome!

Here is the teaser short clip from Instagram. I did some research and found the podcast with the full testimony which goes into way more details.

I’ll post the one short 20 minute video. At first I didn’t realize the 20 minute version cut off…doh! (I hate those cliff hangers) But I also found the full length version…1 hour 14 minute video. So you can skip 20 minute video and just watch the longer one. (Recommended)

So get your basket of laundry out to fold, or clean and sort your sock drawer you’ve been wanting to do, or find a project to do quietly while you listen because you’re going to want to hear this one. It will change the way you pray!

Standby...

First video is the 20 min version, followed by the longer one.😊

This mama mentions praying Psalm 91. It reminded me of a print out I did of Psalm 91 prayer in first person. I'll share it here...

Praying Psalm 91

Today, I dwell in the secret place of the most High, and so I abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

Today I say of the LORD, YOU ARE MY REFUGE AND MY FORTRESS, MY GOD; IN YOU I TRUST.

Surely you deliver me from the snare of the fowler, and from the perilous pestilence.

You cover me with Your feathers, and under Your wings I trust. Your truth is my shield and buckler.

And so, I am not afraid for the terror by night;
nor for the arrow that flies by day;
Nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness; nor for the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

A thousand shall fall at my side, and ten thousand at my right hand, but it shall not come near me.
Only with my eyes do I look and see the reward of the wicked.

Because I have made You my refuge, even the most High, my habitation;
No evil befalls me, nor does any plague come nigh my dwelling.

FOR YOU GIVE YOUR ANGELS CHARGE OVER ME, TO KEEP ME IN ALL MY WAYS.
They bear me up in their hands, lest I dash my foot against a stone.

I tread upon the lion and the cobra:
the young lion and the serpent I trample under foot.

Because I have set my love upon You, therefore You deliver me: You set me on high, because I have known Your name.
I call upon You, and You answer me:
You are with me in trouble;
You deliver me, and honor me.
With long life You satisfy me, and show me Your salvation."

Psalm 91 Prayer in first person

It is faith that moves God, not hope.
Faith is not hope, and hope is not faith. Faith says “I have it now.”
Hope says “I will get it sometime.”
Faith is present tense. Hope (a confident expectation) is future tense.
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1

“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
Hebrew 11:6

Testimony Tuesday

Well let me tell you something people! God is truly amazing!

Lately, God has been dropping some nugget testimonies right in my lap. Of course I need to share them all with you!

These next few video testimonies are “truly amazing.”

From God getting our attention, to making provisions, to meeting us right where we are at in our lives. He knows exactly how to reach us, how to touch us, how to show up and knows what we need. He desires a relationship with you and He will use whatever means to do so, even a song or a note hidden in a drawer to draw you unto Him.

He’ll make provisions in the most miraculous ways! He cares about what you care about.
He loves you that much!

Never forget how much you are cherished by Him. He is not asking for perfection, nor is He waiting for us to get our act together.
Nor does He want us to fret or be anxious.
He just wants us to come to Him, and He wants to show us how much He loves us. His love and grace is sufficient for any and all situations.

I hope you will be blessed by today’s testimonies.
