From the Pastor’s Desk…
Dear Member:
Greetings, in the Matchless Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
For the past two years we as members of Pentecostal Temple Church Of God In Christ
participated in a 40-day Consecration, which was initially inspired by the loss of our great leader,
my father, Bishop J. O. Patterson, Jr. During this difficult time the Lord placed on my heart to call
for a Consecration, and a sense of renewed peace and understanding covered our church, and
reminded us that God is with us.
It is my sincerest desire that we live in accordance with His will so that we may be rewarded for our
faithfulness and receive all that the Lord has for us. As we consecrate ourselves, “let us lay aside
every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us…” (Hebrew 12:1). For when we demonstrate our
dedication to the Lord, He will fill us with his spirit, love, and knowledge that surpasses all
understanding.
I would like for every member to join me as we prepare for the Consecration which begins
Monday, July 1 and ends Friday, August 9. I am requesting that we fast until 3:00 p.m. daily,
unless a member has a medical condition that dictates otherwise. These 40-days of Consecration
will be accompanied with a Pastoral Revival, which will be led by me, and will be held July 22-26,
and begin promptly at 7:00 p.m. nightly. Remember, God is doing GREAT things, and we are
expecting Him to do even “Greater Things”.
It is my prayer that the spirit of the Lord be with you and your family.
Yours In Christ,
Elder Charles H. Mason Patterson, Sr.
“40 DAYS OF CONSECRATION”
July 1 - August 9, 2013
.
What does it mean to be “Consecrated?”
Consecration refers to persons or things being separated to or belonging to God
for His purposes. They are holy and set apart for the service of God.
Leviticus 19:2 says…”You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.”
We aim to glorify God through our words, thoughts, actions, and deeds.
The membership of Pentecostal Temple Church Of God In Christ, family and
friends, consecrate ourselves and pledge to devote time daily to read the word of
God and pray. We desire for God to Renew, Revive and Refresh us individually
and collectively.
“Like Never Before…..
I will read God’s word, pray, worship, fast, witness, love one
another, forgive others, and serve God”
OUR PLEDGE
We pledge to pray for our Pastor and First Lady Patterson, our nation, national and local
churches, church clergy, executive leaders, auxiliaries and ministries, and for one another.

CHARLES H. MASON PATTERSON, SR., PASTOR
40 DAYS OF DEVOTIONAL ENRICHMENT
God’s first commission to man was to be a tiller of the ground (one who cultivates) in the Garden of Eden. He
was commanded to dress it (to garnish it, attend to its beauty), and to keep it (to guard and watch over it) Genesis
2:15. He has given His body, the church, a present day mandate to be spiritual “tillers;” to cultivate, and to
garnish His church in the beauty of holiness and sanctification. As His Body, going forth as workers together
with Him to cultivate new grounds, let the process first begin in our own hearts; keeping them cultivated for
the planting of the precious seeds of the Gospel, and allowing His Spirit to prune them so they will produce,
and reproduce the attributes of our heavenly Father. God is counting on us, His people, to effect change in
the earth through the Power of the Holy Ghost that resides in us.
Day 1 - July 1, 2013
I Desire To Show Myself Strong Through My People…
II Chronicles 16:9 – “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf
of those whose heart is perfect towards Him.”
I desire to do a make-over in the hearts of My people that I might show Myself to be El-Elyon, the Most High God, the
first cause of everything, the possessor of the heavens and the earth. I am truth, justice, righteousness, and perfection!
You, My people must be prepared to demonstrate to the world, through hearts and lives renewed by the power of the
Holy Ghost, just who I AM, and what I AM able do in the lives of My creation. So it is imperative that I work on your
hearts continually preparing them for service unto Me. Prayer, fasting, and consecration is heavens methodology of
achieving this goal.
Day 2 - July 2, 2013
The Whole Earth Groans as Though Experiencing Birth Pains… As It Waits…
Romans 8:19 – “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.”
They’re waiting for you, My sons and daughters. I have made My Holy Spirit available to empower you; to stand up in
you. The world is waiting for you to manifest yourselves as Kingdom People that they might be healed, delivered, and
set free.
Day 3 - July 3, 2013
Healing the “Land” of Our Hearts: The Process…
II Chronicles 7:12-16 – “And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and
have chosen this place for myself for an house of sacrifice. If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the
locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; If my people which are called by my name, shall humble
themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive
their sin, and will heal their land. Now my eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this
place. For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart
shall be there perpetually.”
You are My people, I have placed My name in you and on you. I have fathered you. You are mine. Your body is My
sanctuary, My dwelling place. I now summon you to a special time of prayer, fasting, and consecration. I would that
you would turn toward Me, seek My face; lay your hearts bare before Me that I may wash and cleanse you in My precious
blood. For this is what brings spiritual, emotional, physical restoration and healing to your personal land; and any lands
that have your name attached to them.
Day 4 - July 4, 2013
The Condition of the Uncultivated Heart…
Jeremiah 17:9-10 – “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the Lord search
the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.”
My beloved saints, you cannot trust your hearts if you have not allowed Me, My Word, to break-up the
dormant, hardened, and uncultivated places of your heart and do a thorough cleansing. Your heart will
deceive you. It will cause you to see truth as lies, and lies as truth. It will produce and devise untold
wickedness. You really don’t know what it is capable of conceiving and producing if not submitted to Me. I,
the Lord, am the ultimate search light. I test and try the motives and actions of your heart. As you consecrate
yourselves through prayer and fasting, I will reveal to you what you must clean up and clear out.
Day 5 - July 5, 2013
Spiritual Preparation for Spiritual Planting and Growth…
Hosea 10:12 – “Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break-up the fallow ground:
for it is time to seek the Lord, til he come and rain righteousness upon us.”
I am making a clarion call!! A brilliantly clear call to My people in this generation, to break-up the fallow
ground of your heart. My anointing will be as a plow to break up and break through the tough hardened
places of your heart; to heal areas hardened by pain, hurts, disappointments, abuse, neglect, and regret. My
desire is to rain down My righteousness on grounds made ready to receive. I desire to make of you “Ground
Breakers” going forth breaking and cultivating new ground for the planting of My Word and My Will in the
hearts of mankind, that the last days of this dispensation may yield a great harvest of souls.
Day 6 - July 6, 2013
Plowing Is A Must…
Hosea 10:12 – “Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break-up the fallow ground:
for it is time to seek the Lord, til he come and rain righteousness upon us.”
I must plow in order to cultivate. My righteousness and Holiness cannot be planted in an uncultivated heart
where no true repentance, corrupt affection, hate, strife, or unforgiving reside. These are the weeds, thorns
and thistles that must be rooted out, that the seed of My Word can take proper root; thereby, springing up
strong and uncontaminated by the enemy. Plowing the ground of your hearts is a must!
Day 7 - July 7, 2013
The Necessity of a Deeper Walk…
I Corinthians 2:9-10 – “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man,
the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.
But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God.”
I want to reveal to you by My Holy Spirit many deep things. Things which you have not seen nor heard, nor
your heart conceived. But you must wait in My Presence. You must come up higher and go deeper. (Rev.
4:1 Come up hither and I will show you…) You may say, how can “I” know these things? It is because I
reveal the depth of My plans, the hidden manna of My Word to you through the Holy Spirit who dwells in
you. For He searches all things, yes, even the very depths of me. He is a revealer of the mysteries of God.
Deep calls unto deep. My Holy Spirit and I are intimately inter-twined AND IN TOTAL AGREEMENT!
We wait on you to come into agreement with us.
Day 8 - July 8, 2013
The Necessity of Real Prayer… Real Fasting… Real Consecration…
Isaiah 58:6 – “Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo heavy burdens, and to let the
oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?”
This is what I have chosen, to afflict and humble the hearts and souls of My people that my anointing may be
present in you to loose and destroy the bonds of wickedness, to cast off the burdens of the oppressed, and
destroy every yoke. I would that My people would not only see the great need for salvation and deliverance, but
feel with your hearts and souls, to the extent that it will challenge and call you to real prayer, real fasting, and
real consecration. It is a necessity.
Day 9 - July 9, 2013
You Represent My Heart, My Eyes, My Hands and My Feet…Don’t Send the Wrong Message…
Isaiah 58:7 – “Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when
thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?”
The world will not know what I feel in My heart towards them or how My eyes of love view them except it be
exemplified through you; My people. I desire and need your heart, your eyes, your hands, and your feet to
minister to those who life has cast aside, those who are spiritually and naturally hungry, naked, homeless, and
those who Satan has beat down. As you lay your hearts before Me; do not attempt to hide or excuse your flesh
of its misdeeds, actions, and offences. Do not attempt to escape family obligations and responsibilities. I view
these things with great scrutiny! They mean much to Me.
Day 10 - July 10, 2013
The Broken Spirit and the Contrite heart…
Psalms 51:17 - The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart,
O God, thou wilt not despise.
The sacrifice acceptable unto me is your broken spirit and contrite heart, and that you desire My truth in your
inner-most heart and mind. Your heart must be made ready to receive the divine impartation of the seed of My
Word which is able to continually save you and keep you.
Day 11 - July 11, 2013
The Confessing Heart…
Proverbs 28:13 – “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and
forsaketh them shall have mercy.”
I require confession and forsaking of evil thoughts and actions. For if you cover them you will paralyze your
progress in Me. My hand of grace, mercy, and healing will not be stretched out to you. You must come clean.
Day 12 - July 12, 2013
The Naked Heart…
Hebrews 4:12-13 – “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the
dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with
whom we have to do.”
My Holy Spirit will dissect, lay bare, and expose your innermost self; that He might correct and heal that which
needs His tender loving care. Allow Him to pull up and root out everything that is not like Him.
Day 13 - July 13, 2013
Placing Your Heart’s Trust in Me…
Proverbs 3:5-6 – “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not to thine own understanding. In all thy ways
acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.”
Your life will lead you down many paths. Your heart may desire to take paths and ways that are unfamiliar or
unsafe. This is why you must trust Me with your heart. I am familiar with everything that you may encounter.
Always know that My Grace will not lead you where I cannot keep you.
Day 14 - July 14, 2013
When the Heart is Committed Unto Me…
Psalms 37:5-6 – “Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.”
Trust Me with the task that I have assigned to your life and ministry. I’ll watch over it with a fierce jealous
guardianship. Did I not say that I will perfect that which concerns you? Be assured of this very thing, I have
begun a good work (the work is already started), in you; and am willing and able to perform it unto the day of
My return. My precious Holy Spirit will walk you through each decision, and each challenge you encounter.
He will cultivate your heart and mind so that My Word and My purpose can germinate and grow unhindered.
Day 15 - July15, 2013
The Heart that Seeks Me…
Jeremiah 29:13-14 – “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
And I will be found of you, saith the Lord: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations,
and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused
you to be carried away captive.”
When you seek Me with your whole heart, your whole self, you will find that I am very near. For you will find
out that I have not moved away from you; but you wandered away from Me. I am just waiting in the spot where
you left Me; longing for your presence; missing the sweet fellowship that we once shared. Come back to My
love; and those things that have held you captive, (the misunderstandings, deep hurts, the wounds, even the sin)
I will heal, forgive, and drive away by the power of My Spirit.
Day 16 - July 16, 2013
I’ll Come to Where You Are…
Isaiah 57:15 – “For thus saith the high and lofty One the inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and
holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of
the contrite ones.”
Though I am the high and lofty One that lives and dwells in eternity; whose Name is Holy, I also reside in the
humble, contrite heart and spirit. I will revive it again. Guard your heart; let it rest in a state of humility and
contrition. This heart draws Me near.
Day 17 - July 17, 2013
Walking in My Counsel and Instructions….
Psalms 1:1-3 – “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor
sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not
wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”
Walk in the counsel and instructions of My Word, and be blessed! Let not your stand be according to the
ungodly thinking and doing of this world’s system. For they have no reverential fear of Me. They live in open
rebellion against Me! My people, you must be careful to guard your heart against this!
Day 18 - July 18, 2013
What is Your Stand…
Psalms 1:1-3 – “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor
sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not
wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”
You must position yourselves in the Holy place, the place of righteousness and true holiness. Adhere to My
principles, and display My character. Exhibit integrity. My Holy Spirit will aid and assist you. He will walk with
you and stand up in you. Spend quality time in My presence seeking My will and My way; and you will be
amazed at how I’ll take you from faith to faith, and glory to glory.
Day 19 - July 19, 2013
Be Careful Where You Sit…
Psalms 1:1-3 – “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor
sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not
wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”
Be careful where you allow your thought-life to take a seat, or dwell. Guard the ear-gate of your mind from
foolish, faithless slanderous words. Do not sit in close association or agreement with the elements of society that
speak against Me or what I have said. Keep a safe distance. Guard your thought life. Remember thoughts take
on character, and character becomes actions.
Day 20 - July 20, 2013
Delight Yourself in My Laws….
Psalms 1:1-3 – “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor
sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not
wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”
Allow My Words to become the love of your soul and the thrill of your heart. The more you delight yourself in
Me; the more you’ll experience My deep abiding love, joy and peace. I’ll take you beneath the surface of My
Word to the hidden Manna.
Day 21 - July 21, 2013
I Desire to Make Your Life Fruitful…
Psalms 1:1-3 - Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth
in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he
shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and
whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
I desire to plant your life as it were by great streams, of water enjoying sustenance only I can provide; to cause
your life to be a season of producing good fruit. My Word in you shall not wither, but will remain alive and
always producing. Allow Me to bless you and make you a blessing. In Me you will prosper in whatever you
undertake. You will be My delight!
Day 22 - July 22, 2013
Though I Walk in the Midst of Trouble…
Psalms 138:7 – “Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou will revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the
wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.”
In the day of challenge and trouble; when the enemy is trying to invade and diminish this time of revival in your
personal life; know that I am the saving strength of My anointed ones. And with the right hand of My
righteousness will save you. I Am the faithful God… My name is faithful!
Day 23 - July 23, 2013
Call Unto Me… I Will Answer You and Show You…
Jeremiah 33:3 – “all unto me, and I will answer thee and show thee great and mighty things,
which thou knowest not.”
I’ll answer you and show you great and mighty things; the hidden treasures of My Word; strategies of spiritual
warfare and how to fight in the heavenlies on your knees. You must escalate your war-fare to pull down
strongholds. I am your Battle-Axe.
Day 24 - July 24, 2013
I Wait On You to Bless You…
Isaiah 30:18 – “And therefore will the Lord wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he
may have mercy upon you: for the Lord is a God of judgment: blessed are they that wait for him.”
I’m waiting for you today to come into My presence. I welcome you. I have great things in store for you. I
desire to bless you with new strength to handle whatever you face today. I wait that I may be gracious to you.
Blessed are they that wait (serve) in My presence.
Day - July 25, 2013
While You Wait in My Presence….
Isaiah 40:27 – “Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest thou O Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is
passed over from my God?”
While you wait before Me in prayer and fasting, I will deal with those things you thought were too small for Me
to concern myself with. I will also turn the so called big things to your favor and cause them to work for your
good. Remember, when you love Me, all things work together for your good. For even the most minute thing
in your heart and mind are not hidden from My eyes. Remember My promise to you; I will never leave you nor
forsake you, and you can boldly declare I, the Lord, am your helper. I am Jehovah Shammah!
Day 26 - July 26, 2013
While You Wait in My Presence… Remember Who I Am…And Whose You Are…
Isaiah 40:28 – “Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the creator of the ends of the
earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.”
I created and made the heavens and the earth; then I made you from the dust of the earth. I Am courage and
strength, nothing tires Me. I Am wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. The universe and all that I have
created is held in its proper place by My spoken word and command. Know that I hold you and everything that
concerns you by the word of My power. (Heb. 1:1-3 AMP Version)
Day 27 - July 27, 2013
As You Wait in My Presence…
Isaiah 40:29 – “He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.”
My Spirit will pick you up in times of weakness. For My strength is made perfect in your weakness. Yes! I’ll
empower you, give you courage and boldness and the insight to carry out the assignment I have laid to your
charge. Don’t forget, I’m El-Elyon!!
Day 28 - July 28, 2013
Because You Wait in My Presence…
Isaiah 40:30-31 – “Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon
the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall
walk and not faint.”
You will bask in renewed strength each day. As your days be, so shall your strength be. I give you overcoming
strength. Whatever you have to deal with I’ll match it with My strength; it won’t overtake you or defeat you.
You will respond to My bidding with joyful promptness. You will walk and move in a new level of faith.
Day 29 - July 29, 2013
I’ll Be a Sure Compass…
Isaiah 58:11 – “And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou
shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.”
While walking through the wilderness of this world system, I will guide you with My eye; your steps will be sure.
Your inner-man will take on new strength. My Spirit will sustain you in every seasonal adversity. Your Life will
be like a watered garden; releasing the fragrance of My love, joy, and peace. And as a spring of water, though
constantly giving of itself, yet remaining full; so shall you abound in your personal and spiritual life. For the life
that is yielded to Me cannot fail.
Day 30 - July 30, 2013
I Have Comforted You… That You May Comfort Others…
II Corinthians 1:3-4 – “Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all
comfort; who comforts us in all our tribulations, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort
wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.”
I Am the God of all comfort. I have walked with you and continue to walk you through every trial and
tribulation. I know how to make you comfortable even in uncomfortable situations; that you may be able to
comfort others in like situations. Remember, I Am the God of all comfort.
Day 31 - July 31, 2013
Wounded Healers…
Isaiah 58:12 - “And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many
generations; and thou shalt be called the repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
I call you forth as wounded healers and life re-builders. My Spirit of anointed love flows through you, the
Church, My body. I call you forth to rebuild and restore lives. For many are looked upon with distain; as wasted
lives, a wasted generation. You shall be called the repairers of the breach as I send you to mend the torn, the
wounded, and the broken of society and the church. For as I Am healing your lives this gives you a greater
capacity to demonstrate great love, kindness, understanding, and wisdom. I call you forth…
Day 32 - August 1, 2013
Keep Your Eyes In My Word…
Jeremiah 1:12b AMP Version - I am alert and active, watching over my word to perform it.
Take your eyes off people, places, and things and put them in My Word. What I have promised I Am well able
to perform. Just as I watch over My Word to perform it; you watch My Word as it comes to pass in your lives.
Did I not say that I Am not a man that I should lie, nor the son of man that I should have to repent or change
My mind? When I speak a thing I shall make it good!! (Numbers 23:19) Keep your eyes in My Word.
As we embark upon the last “8” days of this God ordained time of Fasting and Consecration, let us enter
them with accelerated praise and worship to our God for what He has done in us and continues to do. In
Hebrew the number “8” is (Sh’moneh), the root word (Shah’meyn), means “to make fat, or to cover with fat,”
“to super-abound,” one who abounds in strength, to be covered with super-abundance spiritually and
naturally. So as a number, eight is the super-abundant number. Just as “7” is called the number of
completion, and represents the rest of God when He had finished His work in creating the heavens and the
earth, and forming man out of the dust of the ground; so “8,” as the eighth day represented a time of new
beginnings, a new era, or a new order.
The following are a few other biblical references to the number “eight.” The first born was dedicated to God
on the “8th”day of birth, signifying this new life belonging exclusively to God. God commanded Abraham to
circumcise all male children on the “8th” day of birth (Gen. 17:11-14). (The meaning of circumcision is the
“putting off of the body of the flesh” Col. 2:11). God saved “8” souls from the flood, Noah and his family, to
begin a new Godly order in mankind and re-populate the earth after the flood (I Pet. 3:20; II Pet. 2:5). The
leper was cleansed on the “8th” day (Lev. 14:10, 23), giving them a new beginning in life. King David was the
“8th” son of Jesse, (I Sam. 16:10-11), God used him to establish the new Israel. Even so the Lord is bringing us
to a new dimension in our consecration, a new level of faith and righteousness in Him.
Let us take very serious the Word of God and the instructions given us through our Pastor during these days
of fasting and consecration. As God is taking him to another dimension in Him; let us follow closely.
Day 33 - August 2, 2013
Oh, That Men Would Praise the Lord...
Psalms 107:8 – “Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!”
I desire to see an attitude of gratitude as I continue to bring you out and bring you through. When the enemy
thought he had you, I stood in the way. When you cried unto Me in your afflictions and trouble I was really
there before you called. Oh that you would praise Me, for I have dealt wondrously on your behalf. I have
blessed you to be an ongoing recipient of My loving care and tender mercies. Oh, that men would praise Me!!!
Day 34 - August 3, 2013
He Satisfies…
Psalms 107:9 – “For He satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.”
I satisfy the deep longings in the depth of your soul; longings nothing or no one will be able to satisfy. Anything
else in only a temporary fix. People, places, and things only have the ability to go so far. They cannot reach high
enough or go deep enough into the real you for you to experience real peace, joy, and ultimate fulfillment. I
satisfy to the full.
Day 35 - August 4, 2013
My Heart is Fixed to Praise…
Psalms 108: - “O GOD, my heart is fixed ; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.”
The heart that was broken and unsettled, the indecisive heart is stabilized in My hand. Now you can praise Me
with all your glory; that is with all your faculties. As you think on Me, you will praise Me with holy hands,
clapping them and lifting them up to Me. Your tongue will speak and sing praises unto Me. Your feet will
willingly walk in the way of holiness, and you’ll praise Me in the dance. These are the attributes of a fixed heart.
Day 36 - August 5, 2013
Celebrate My Enduring Mercy and Loving Kindness…
Psalms 118:1 – “O Give thanks unto the Lord; for He is good: because His Mercy endureth for ever.”
You cannot wear out My mercy. My tender sensitive mercy and loving kindness will under-gird and hold you up
all of your days; no matter what your day brings. I Am sensitive to you and feel what you feel. Just remember to
praise Me and give Me thanks.
Day 37 - August 6, 2013
Praise to Our God is Fitting For the Upright…
Psalms 33:1 – “Rejoice In the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the Upright.”
I have made you righteous by My own doing. So it is very fitting and appropriate to give Me praise. You owe it
to Me. Now; may I have it?
Day 38 - August 7, 2013
Yes Lord, You May…
Psalms 34:1-2 – “I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast
in the Lord; the humble shall hear thereof and be glad.”
I will praise and glorify Your awesome Name out of a grateful, happy heart. From my mouth I will make known
to others your loving kindness and tender mercies. My testimonies of You will humble the hearts of those who
don’t know You; giving them an appetite for salvation and deliverance. I will bless you at all times!
Day 39 - August 8, 2013
I Will Make Large Your Name…
Psalms 34:3 – “O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His Name together.”
I will make known the attributes of Your Holy Name:
Your Name is Elohim, the creator of heaven and earth, you were in the beginning. You have crowned me with
glory and honor. You are the God of might and strength. You are Elohim!
Your Name is El-Shaddai, the God almighty of blessings, the Breasty One who nourishes and supplies. You’re all
bountiful and all sufficient. You are El-Shaddai!
Your Name is Adonai, You are my Lord and Master; You are Jehovah, the completely Self-Existing One, always
present , revealed in Jesus; You are the same yesterday, today and forever. You are Adonai!
Your Name is Jehovah-Jireh, the God who sees. You see my needs ahead of time, (before they get to me), and
provide for them. You are Jehovah-Jireh!
Your Name is Jehovah-Rapha, You are my healer, and the One who makes bitter experiences sweet. You sent Your
Word and healed me. You healed me from the spirit of back-sliding, forgave all my iniquities. You healed all my
diseases. You are truly Jehovah-Rapha!
You are Jehovah-M’Kaddesh, the Lord my sanctifier. You have set me apart for Yourself. You are Jehovah
M’Kaddesh!
You are Jehovah-Nissi, You are my Victory, my Banner, and my Standard. Your banner over me is love. When
the enemy comes in; like a flood You lift up a standard against him; washing away all his plans and schemes with
the flood of Your anointing, rendering them powerless and ineffective in my life. You are my Jehovah Nissi!
You are Jehovah –Shalom, my peace-the peace that transcends, that goes above and beyond all human
understanding. Your peace, that garrisons and mounts guard (like a garrison of Special Military Forces), over my
heart and my mind in Christ Jesus. You are Jehovah-Shalom!
You are Jehovah- Tsidkenu, my righteousness. You became sin for me that I might become the righteousness of
God in Christ Jesus. You are Jehovah-Tsidkenu!
You are Jehovah-Rohi, my Shepherd, and I shall not lack or want for any good or beneficial thing. You are JehovahRohi!
You are Jehovah-Shammah, who will never leave me nor forsake me. You are always present, therefore I take
comfort, and am encouraged, and boldly declare; “The Lord Is my Helper”, therefore I will not fear or dread. I
will not be terrified. You are my Jehovah-Shammah!
You are to be worshipped and adored, for You are El-Elyon, the Most High God, the Possessor of the heavens and
the earth. You are the everlasting God, the great God, the living God. You are the faithful and merciful God,
the mighty God. You are Truth, Justice, Righteousness, and Perfection. You are El-Elyon, the Highest Sovereign
of the heavens.
The Name of the Lord is a Strong Tower: the righteous runneth into it and is safe!!! (Prov.18:10)
Day 40 - August 9, 2013
The Excellent Name of The Lord…
Psalms 148:13 - Let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name alone is excellent;
His Glory is above the earth and heaven.
We will praise and exalt your most high Name. Your Glory and Majesty is above all that is in the universe. Your
Name alone is worthy of exaltation. Praise your high and exalted Name forever!
