EXHORTATIONS - February 2023
Your favor will grow as you learn to steward it for the benefit of others. Stewarding your favor involves discipling the people He places in your life in their Christ identity.
As carriers of His light, you will step into your Christ calling to displace the thick darkness with the powerful Kingdom of light that you carry. His glory, His weighty presence, rises upon you, and the world is watching and waiting for you to step fully into your calling to arise and shine (Isaiah 60).
God has transformation and upgrades for you. You may be going through necessary mind renewal as the enemy has assaulted the thoughts and minds of many. The Spirit of God is calling for His people to abide in Him and His Word. From His Word, you then learn to speak and declare His truth over your own life, and then the lives of others
We are a light for others, pointing the way when darkness hides the path they should take. Understanding your Christ identity causes you to be immovable and unshakable. Hebrews 12 indicates that we are receiving a Kingdom that cannot be shaken.
The Lord is calling you to "arise and shine" to your full stature and position as you bear fruit that remains for His Kingdom. You will need to be grounded in your calling, your Christ identity, your right standing with God, and walking in the Spirit -- these things will be a strength for you and for others:
1 Peter 2:9: "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood..."
As you own your position in Him, you must acknowledge and embrace your inherited authority to rule with Him. Every Believer is called to be a priest unto God. You have been seated with Christ in heavenly places, and it is for a purpose. Jesus Christ is on His throne at the right hand of the Father, and you are seated there, in Him. to rule. You take up your keys -- binding and loosing, and bring Heaven to Earth by releasing the decrees and declarations you hear from the Spirit of God.

Even now, the Holy Spirit is descending, hovering, and brooding over you. Shake yourself from the depression in which circumstances have kept you! You are standing at the threshold of God's glory!
As you lift up your head to the Lord , you let the King of Glory come in (Psalm 24) and wage war through you -- giving you the power to take the land -- displacing the forces that seek to restrict and suppress your Christ calling.
He is about to blow your paradigm and expand your destiny consciousness. It's time to put on the new wineskins fully and receive the infilling of new strength, vigor, and faith. God is setting you up to ride the wave of your lifetime!

"'Come,' He said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus…" Matthew 14:29
Are you feeling the pull to step out of your comfort zone?
This pull is from God, as He's inviting you outside of your norm. It could be something you are scared to do. God is leading you to trust Him in your discomfort.
If you're feeling stretched, like you're coming up against uncomfortable situations, or like God is inviting you into risk --Take a step of faith! Your only option is to trust God, and that's a good thing! God is inviting you beyond what is comfortable to you in order to grow your faith and build your trust in Him. Push past your fear in order to allow God to lead you into new realms! Remember His promises. He is faithful!

You must stay fresh in His strength and not become weary, giving in to discouragement and disappointment. You must stay fresh in Him and sensitive to the Spirit of the Lord as He leads you into new fruit-bearing strategies for His Kingdom. You have the potential to change the lives of many Believers as you disciple them into their Christ identity.
God's purpose is the thing Jesus wants to do through you to advance His Kingdom.
" that He may give to you, according to the riches of His glory, with might to be strengthened through His Spirit, in regard to the inner man," - Ephesians 3:16

There is a paralyzing passivity so prevalent in the Church today. As prophetic voices, we must sound the alarm: these are not days of peace! We have no armistice with the workers of darkness! We must stir ourselves out of this stupor, as Scripture instructs you to do. You must rouse yourself to reality and awake (see Romans 13:11-14 AMP)
You must not entertain compromise nor tolerate complacency. On the contrary, you are called to confront the powers of darkness. Rather than remaining passive, complacent, or compromised, it is your responsibility to resist the enemy and stand firm (see James 4:7). He is a defeated foe – but we, nevertheless, must rout him out.
Ephesians 6:1-11 offers great advice concerning the best strategy for preparing for this conflict with the powers of darkness. Notice the very first verse: We must actively put on the entire armor provided for us by God. Christ Jesus states we must take a bold stand against the works of darkness if we are going to see the Kingdom of God advance.
This is a time of confrontation and conflict. Resolve in your heart that you will neither compromise nor retreat in fulfilling God's purpose for your life, you are going to exhibit bravery and boldness (see Joshua 1:9). Lift your head high and resolve that you, personally – empowered by the Holy Spirit are more than a conqueror – are going to make a difference in your generation. Now is the time to give your very best for advancing forward the Kingdom of God (see 2 Corinthians 6:2) through your Christ calling. Now is the time to hold nothing back! Make this hour your finest hour – to "win for the Lamb the reward of His suffering"
"And from the days of John the Baptist until the present time, the Kingdom of Heaven has endured violent assault, and violent men seize it by force [as a precious prize – a share in the Heavenly Kingdom is sought with most ardent zeal and intense exertion]" (Matthew 11:12 AMP).

His nail-scarred hand still reaches out --it still lifts up -- it still invites you to grab hold of Him and be empowered by Him to live in your Christ identity advancing His Kingdom in the power of the Holy Spirit. New Testament prophecy communicates this by exhortation into your Christ calling, moving you out of the confines and limitations of your narrow, bounded lifestyle.
This is a season that if you are intentional to go up the mountain and keep your gaze on Jesus, you will receive new perspective and vision. You will birth the assignment God has been waiting to give you. You'll come down the mountain and release the mighty thunderous sound into the earth!
ZZ – 2231 DW70 09-13-2023 February 2022 Exhortations
This present season is going to be a season of Genesis, of new creation—even new beginnings, this will also be a time of fulfillment of promises and expansion with an emphasis on Kingdom advancement. Be encouraged as God wants to put you right where you belong so that you can have an impact in your Christ calling.
The sons of God are led by the Spirit of God (Romans 8:14). It is the Holy Spirit that brings truth and revelation to the inner-man, the spirit man, or new creation in Christ that you are. It is in your spirit that God comes alive, not your soul. Your soul is affected as you affirm and meditate on scripture, therefore, become spiritually attuned – NOW you have given the Holy Spirit something to work with.
2 Corinthians 5:17 - "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."
As we are awakened to this realm of living, there is unlimited potential in how God can flow through us. Because we have been born of the Spirit, the nature of God is there to be accessed on the inside. We are not trying to get God to come down because He already did that. He awakened our spirit, gave us His Holy Spirit, and He trains our mind, through affirming and meditating on His Word, with His promises that we may partake of His divine ministry to change the world.
When atmospheres change from darkness to light and when Heaven is manifested on the earth, it stirs and shifts things in the invisible realm where God's angels are activated. As you continue to engage with God – manifesting His Kingdom in such a way through your Christ calling that the light of His presence changes atmospheres – His heavenly hosts will bring their assistance to you.

"And when they could not come nigh unto Him for the press, they uncovered the roof where He was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay." (Mark 2:4)
These men "broke open" the roof. You too are an "unlocker." You have been called, as a Believer, to break open things in the Spirit. These men were used to break open the roof to unleash the power of God to save and heal their friend.
It is your time to press into God's purpose for your life and unshackle the potential you possess in your Christ identity to bear fruit that remains by saving and healing those bound by satan -- through cultivating, nurturing, and discipling new believers into their Christ calling -- thereby living the crucified lifestyle inside the Word.
ZZ – 2236 DW70 09-15-2023 2023 February 2022 Exhortations
Don't allow yourself to stagnate and become callous and cold. Now is the time to awake from slumber and rouse to reality (see Romans 13:11-14)! Arise and shine and push on to new heights (see Isaiah 60:1-5). The Spirit of Truth is desiring to release profound, awesome revelation for you to come higher. If you contend and earnestly seek, this can be a season where the eyes of your heart are flooded with revelatory light (see Ephesians 1:17-18).
This is not a time to be vague and dim, but you must be bright and alert, clear and committed to advancing the King in His Kingdom.
You do not have time to delay, the Spirit of Truth is preparing a remnant to proceed to the next new level; you must advance and make progress (see Ephesians 5:14-15). In this next new level you will begin to grasp a higher, clearer insight into your Christ calling. Prepare to behold the living Lord Jesus in a much clearer way.
It's time to remove all lids of limitations off and believe God for big things, being assured that He is able to do much more than you could ask or even think (see Ephesians 3:20-21).
The Spirit of God is stirring your soul and awakening your heart to seek deeper depths and higher heights. This is the time for you to go all out for Christ and the Kingdom of God. Don't hold back; surrender yourself entirely to the control and guidance of the Holy Spirit. This statement is so true: "Deep calls to deep" (Psalm 42:7).
ZZ – 2242 DW70 09-16-2023 February 2022 Exhortations
In this season He is calling you into deeper places in His Spirit, where you have never been before. He has forged you in the fire and prepared you in trials and tribulations. And a depth, width, and height of His anointing and glory has been formed inside of you, all the while you journeyed through the times of disappointment, betrayal, and loss.
You carry an authority that the enemy must bow down to. As you make more room for Him -- there is a fire burning inside of you. He will take what the enemy meant for evil and He will vindicate you with His power and pull you into those deeper places, and you will use that authority to gain great territory and new land.
ZZ – 2244 DW70 09-17-2023 February 2022 Exhortations
If we think that our deliverance depends partly on God and partly on us, we will not have a settled peace in our heart. But when we know that it is the blood alone that saves, we will have an unshakable peace. Saves from what? -- anything that doesn't match up with heaven.
May those things that you felt died be resurrected in even bigger and better ways to the glory of God.
MAY YOU DECLARE: "Dreams and Destiny come forth!"
When you depend on Jesus continually, your whole perspective changes. You keep your plans tentative – you consciously live, move, and have your being in Him. This is the ultimate adventure.
We all need spiritual momentum in our lives. The enemy tries to slow or shift your momentum by bringing distractions to get you off course. We are called to "stay the course" -- to be in sync with His river of life.
Expect advancement from strength to strength! Expect to go from glory to glory as God opens impossible doors for the advancement of His kingdom through his CALLING on your life.
ZZ – 2245 DW72 09-18-2023 February 2022 Exhortations
Psalm 16:3 - "As for the saints (great, majestic, nobles, chiefs, holy ones, set apart ones) who are on the earth, 'They are the excellent ones in whom is all My delight.'"
Feelings lie! Go with what is already written about you because it's written in concrete. You cannot lose this time. You are too important to the whole scheme of things. It's not just about your destiny -- you are a part of the whole; you are a part of God's Big Plan.
The fulfillment of YOUR highest destiny starts NOW!
So stand up! Roar! Shake yourself from the dust that has choked you for so long; loose yourself -- oh captive child of the Most High!
Now you will take the Promised Land. Yes, Pharaoh has been hot on your trail and the Red Sea has been in your way, but God LOVES to let things get to the point of impossible before He steps in because then He can show His power best. Watch and see what He is about to do FOR YOU!
You are His superhero, reserved for this time in history! Why? Because you have what it takes to take the territory and WIN! Sit tall in a dignified place. Sit beside Him in His throne. It's time for you to co-reign, co-rule and co-create! Look up, because your recovery, your "cashing in time," your "pay off" day has come (see Luke 21:28)!

"Feed My Sheep." - John 21:17
If you love my Lord you have to FEED HIS SHEEP. There is no relief and no release from this commission.
The Lord is stirring you up and filling you with a deeper passion than you have ever known. In His presence you become the radiant Bride that shines with the very glory of God.
As the Lord reveals His CALLING on your life and its impact on others in the world -- by faith in His Word and empowerment within the inner man you live in a place of Power and Strength. You are the visible image of an invisible God. Because His image is on you -- your life belongs to Him. You will not be intimidated while carrying the light and power of truth—breaking the people of God out of old patterns to move forward into the great possibilities of the day. Challenge, convict, and put a demand on people. Challenge the antichrist spirit in the church.
"He that believeth in me, out of him shall flow rivers of living water" - John 7:38
ZZ – 2249 DW72 0-20-2023 February 2022 Exhortations
Pursue the things God has been speaking to you about your Christ calling. It's no longer time to ponder.
You need to know and understand your Christ identity. You must war for the Kingdom of God rather than be distracted by a noise from the camp of the enemy which is built upon self, idolatry, and individualism. It's now time to possess. Your provision is in -- following through in your next course of action.
Get up! No more waiting. Get up and get busy. Divine positioning is taking place, right now. You are being properly placed in the Kingdom and with the right people.
Expect advancement from strength to strength! Expect to go from glory to glory as God opens impossible doors for you to start bearing fruit that remains for His Kingdom.
This is not a time for passive, non-committed Christianity. You are called to become part of the bold, passionate, and powerful end-time army that brings forth His Kingdom throughout the earth.
ZZ – 2236 DW72 09-21-2023 February 2022 Exhortations
To not be moved by the world, you have to be shaken from past mindsets of the world. New requires a process, where the promises you often wait for are mined like diamonds.
We can focus on the loss the shaking has caused or, we can see it as a precursor for even greater grace revealed.
Rise up with expectation, not away from your wilderness but because of it. In God's upside-down Kingdom, the wilderness of shaking is actually chosen fertile ground for next season's multiplication!
Are you one of these shaken Believers God has called upon -- now unmoved on the inside so you can transform culture on the outside? The world may have brought shaking upon you, but God will use that shaking to reveal Himself through you to the world!
The oil did not cease, You are part of a new breed of Kingdom advancers who will not be moved by pressure, but who will move and disciple many others by your unearthly passion and enduring love. Your past season may have felt like a wilderness, but to God, it's now a harvest field of promises that He wants to reveal through you to the world.
Your shaking has made you a new breed of world changer who has abandoned the pressures of perception and expectation to live out a culture of leadership that Jesus Himself has set the course. The world around you is not just waiting for a new, great ministry; they are waiting for Christ in you, the hope of glory!
"But imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises..." - Hebrews 6:12

God's heart is beating for the harvest and souls and the equipping of the saints. The Holy Spirit is aligning us to what His heart burns -- for, our hearts will burn for too. God is releasing swift acceleration upon the Church Body and turning things around. God is refocusing your vision to see with greater clarity and aligning you to the Christ mandate for this urgent hour. God is releasing breakthrough over your Christ calling.
When God-change is happening, your decrees are imperative. Your voice become the rudder, setting the direction to head in and establish new territory. This is a time to declare what God is saying, and declare with expectant faith, as you are entering the days of greater glory and maximum, unprecedented harvest.
There are rivers being made in the wasteland and roads in the desert by your decrees. You must stop wasting time going over old history and be alert to the brand-new that is bursting out.
"Forget about what's happened; don't keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I'm about to do something brand-new. It's bursting out! Don't you see it? There it is! I'm making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands." (Isaiah 43:18-19, The Message)

Romans 5:3,4 - "And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope."
Jesus did not come to deliver us from our problems but from ourselves. He did not come to change our circumstances - He came so that we would die to our old life so He could live His life through us and advance His Kingdom throughout the earth.
Hebrews 12:2, "We look away from the natural realm and we fasten our gaze onto Jesus who birthed faith within us and who leads us forward into faith's perfection."
We are given strategies for breakthrough; and we are given revelation on the direction we should take or information we would need for moving ahead in our Christ calling. Some are given a scene of encouragement and exploits as they look through the eyes of Jesus. These Believers are walking through difficult times, but as they fix their eyes on Jesus their vision is filled with hope and Kingdom advancement.

Some say, 'The River is flowing. Just step in.' But we need to say, 'Just step in, and the river will flow.'
Some are passively waiting to see what God will do, while He is waiting for us to exercise faith to see Him move with power.
"And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord kept WORKING WITH THEM and confirming the message by the attesting signs and miracles that closely accompanied it" (Mark 16:20).
God worked with them instead of them working with God. THEY had a responsibility to step in FIRST.
Jesus told us that the Kingdom is like a treasure hidden in a field (Matthew 13:44). It was so valuable that a man sold all he had to get that treasure. When God's presence and work among us is so valuable that we would lay down other things for it, we will have it.
You are part of a grassroots movement amongst Believers that is emerging who aggressively have a single hearts goal to establish the King in His Kingdom on earth.
This is the time in which you must press into Him and continue to move with authority and power through your hunger, prayers, faith, and Christ calling. We must step in!

"Moses went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain. ...Moses went into the midst of the cloud and went up to the mountain. And Moses was on the mountain for forty days and forty nights." (Exodus 24:15, 18)
When we talk about clouds, there are actually two different kinds of clouds, spiritually speaking. You have the oppressive cloud, which has many in bondage. Then you have the cloud of His glory that manifests the Holy Spirit in and upon our lives. The good news is that you get to pick which cloud is going to be upon your life. God wants you tuned-in to His frequency, as you allow His bright glory cloud of light to envelope your life. In the beginning God said, "Let there be light" (Genesis 1:3)! When you speak through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, there is power to shift atmospheres from darkness to light.
Your voice is ordained to carry the prophetic power of God's Spirit, like a sword, to decree and manifest His Kingdom and will in the earth. Because of this, there is always an attack on your ability to praise, prophesy and release God's presence through your voice. God is wanting to invade the earth through your voice!
Without the prophetic, there is no assault from the enemy because there is no threat. There is no threat because there is no voice speaking the oracles (the divine utterances) of God (1 Peter 4:11).
Connect with God in the cloud of His glory. Be inspired by His Spirit. Stir the river of His Spirit inside of you and welcome the cloud of His glory upon you. Then speak and shift atmospheres, even your own situations, by proclaiming His divine utterances under the unction and anointing of His Spirit. Speak as one sent by Him to shift things on earth so they come under the transforming influence of Heaven.
ZZ – 2260 DW72 09-26-2023 February 2022 Exhortations
The Spirit of God has been fanning the flame of discontentment within the hearts of the saints causing them to feel a deep dissatisfaction with mere powerless religious actions. There can be no true revolution with contented people! What you feel within your spirit is a divine disturbance driving you to seek God on a deeper level.
"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father." - John 14:12
Christ Jesus has set the bar extremely high, and we are called and commissioned to do the works that He did as well as even greater works. We are living in the greatest time of history, for we have been given a vocation to accomplish the purposes of God through our Christ calling.
Be willing to go deeper than before, to yield more and more, to hearken to His voice, and, like the wind, allow its empowerment. Heaven has found its home inside of you. You have the power because His power lives within you.
Go and get yourself ready. Go when He opens wide the gate. Go and conquer. Go take the land, -- Do it with all of your might. His strength is within you. Passionately pursue and bear fruit that remains for His Kingdom as the light of the world. Let your eye be single so you can fully shine.
"The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light…(Luke 11:34 KJV)

This season will be a time of fulfillment of promises and expansion with an emphasis on Kingdom advancement. God wants to put you right where you belong in your Christ calling so that you can have an impact in your God-appointed place.
1 John 5:4 - ""For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith." The storm of bad decisions may be choices you made, or others made, that affected you. God will overrule bad decisions to bring forth wisdom and get you where you need to be. It is time for you to experience a fresh wind of His victory. It is high time for the sleeping giant (the Church) to wake up, come into their Christ identity, and quit tolerating Jezebel and religious control. Ahab represents the church that is in idolatry, caught up in performance (the show), and looking for titles while being in bed with the world.
Hebrews 1:6,7 - "But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says: Let all the angels of God worship Him. Of the angels He says: 'He makes His angels spirits, and His servants a flame of fire.'" There will be a growing consciousness of the angelic activity in your midst, especially as you activate them in through your worship. The angels are activated and energized by your surrendered pursuit of God. As you continue to engage with God – manifesting His Kingdom in such a way that the light of His presence changes atmospheres – His heavenly hosts will bring their assistance to you.
2 Corinthians 3:17 ""Now the Lord is the Spirit. And where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty…" Without the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, you will end up striving in your flesh trying to make things happen. He is the river that creates a flow in your life, removing the rigidity of religious rituals. Make this season a season of being renewed in His presence!
Daniel 11:32 - "…the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits." Your PURSUIT expedites His plans for your life. It is time to discover your Christ calling and pursue God in such a way that you can get positioned to equip (disciple) others and influence them with His glory. As you pursue the Lord and be obedient to the leading of the Holy Spirit, He will move you to the next stage of your ever-expanding destiny.
ZZ – 2265 DW73 09-28-2023 February 2022 Exhortations
This is not a season to hide, a season to be quiet, a season to run away, or a season to put your calling on the shelf for another time. This is a season to step into all that He's called you to be, without constant attacks and arrows flying at you from every corner – fully able to step into the calling God has for you.
"They [the former tyrant masters] are dead, they shall not live and reappear; they are powerless ghosts, they shall not rise and come back. Therefore You have visited and made an end of them and caused every memory of them [every trace of their supremacy] to perish" (Isaiah 26:14 AMPC)
This is a season when the Lord wants you to pursue the giants in the earth. This is a season where you will move from a place of being pursued to becoming the pursuer. You are going from being constantly attacked and constantly persecuted to a season where you will unveil, reveal, and expose the enemy's plans.
You will wander no more. You will stop looking and you will not have to continually be seeking, but you will find and you'll establish your feet and plant your feet in the land that He has given to you, You will finally build and establish that which He has put on the inside of you. But will you dream with Him or will you keep looking at your circumstances and letting them taunt you? For if you dream it, He will build it!
Will you lay it all down and surrender everything? What do you need to let go of? What about the people on your old path that didn't, or couldn't, come with you? On this new path, you can't be focused on what other people are doing and saying or you. You can't look around at Sodom, like Lot's wife did, and also be able to hold your gaze on Jesus. You are going to have to tune out the disapproval and noise of others and make the only thing you hear and see is the King of Glory. Let it all go!

2 Kings 3:15-26 - :"…While the harp was being played, the power of the LORD came upon Elisha, and he said, 'This is what the LORD says: This DRY VALLEY will be FILLED with pools of water! You will see NEITHER WIND NOR RAIN, says the LORD, but this valley will be filled with water…"
On an individual level, that DRY VALLEY you've been facing is about to become your very place of refreshing. Just like the Valley of Dry Bones (Ezekiel 37:1-14), nothing is too hard for the Lord. Instead of withdrawing from those hard places, Soak in those places. Worship in those places! Where there was once no living water, there will be pools of soaking in His presence.
In this passage, the Lord specifically said that He would fill these places with "neither wind nor rain." In other words, the source won't make sense. You also won't see or feel it coming It won't be by your effort. What's more, it won't even come by "storm." He merely does it in a way that is not natural, usual, loud, strenuous, or predictable.
Your dry places—those places that have been footholds in the past for the enemy—will now become your weapon against him as they become saturated by the Lord. Just as the blood in this Old Testament passage was prophetic of what Jesus would one day do, the areas of soaking are now going to become prophetic areas. They will become both a testimony of what the Lord has done and a prophecy of what He will do again.
There are places where the Lord is redirecting you—not to cut you off, but to stone up places where good water is "leaking off" and watering what God isn't growing in your life. Placing stones in the "soil" of the enemy has a way of preventing him from growing things too. Stones (testimonies), biblically, are monuments to what God has done. Any time the enemy tries to plant a lie, put a testimony stone there. It stunts the growth instantly.
Now comes a last-ditch effort from the enemy to derail you. It's often loud, exaggerated, out of nowhere, and very stressful. But if you rise above it in peace and see it for what it is, then it will come to nothing. It will fail. Don't pay any attention to it. Instead, enjoy the abundance that the Lord is creating in the places where you least expect it. Shift your focus to expectation and watch what He will do.

2 Kings 13:17-19 - “Elisha declared. ‘You will completely destroy the Arameans at Aphek.’ Then he said, ‘Take the arrows,’ and the king took them. Elisha told him, 'Strike the ground.’ He struck it three times and stopped. The man of God was angry with him and said, 'You should have struck the ground five or six times; then you would have defeated Aram and completely destroyed it.”
Be silent no more! Strike the ground! Believe that you are powerful and step into the fulfillment of God’s purpose for your life. Sanctify your tongue unto Him so that only praises flow from your mouth and not curses. Walk in forgiveness, daily, so that your arrows remain sharp and none will fall to the ground.
He is advancing in the earth and together you will take new territory for the Kingdom of Light. “Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.” (Psalm 81:10)

Isaiah 43:25,26 - “I, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake, And I will not remember your sins. Put Me in remembrance, let us argue our case together; State your cause, that you may be proved right.”
As long as you allow the devil to keep reminding you of past sins and failures, he will take advantage of you. Constantly dwelling on the past will keep your faith inoperative. And as long as you have no confidence in your Christ identity, your prayers will be hindered.
Why does God say that He won’t remember our sins for His own sake? So that there is nothing that can hinder your advancing His Kingdom in the earth! He blots out our sins for His own sake so He can help us to demonstrate His great victory over satan's kingdom in the earth through you.

2 Corinthians 4:3,4 - “And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God."
Since God doesn’t save anyone against their will, does it really do any good to pray for people who consciously refuse to receive Jesus as Lord?
YES IT DOES!
Unbelievers who have purposely refused to receive Jesus as Lord think they’ve made that decision of their own free will – the truth is, they haven’t. The Word of God says they’ve been blinded by Satan. He’s blocking their perception of the truth. So their decision hasn’t been freely made at all.
Through the prayer of intercession, you can interfere with the satanic forces and help take those blinders off! You can also change circumstances with your prayers and help create situations that will bring them in contact with the Lord. Believe when you pray and open their eyes to the glorious gospel of God.
