MANIFEST MANNA: Meditate on Acts 17:28 "In Him we live, we move, and have our being..." One of the primary rules of meditation is to ponder, consider, and reflect before you offer a response. With so many things going on competing with our minds for attention, not everything that is reflected on can be spoken about--nor should it be. Sometimes the best response to chaos is an INWARD one. A godly response to life's challenges can be our breeding ground for the miraculous! When we find ourselves in atmospheres of adversity; when we find ourselves in a stagnant place; when we find that every hindering spirit imaginable seems to have been unleashed against us; we can take solace that there is available to us, the divine breath of GOD flowing CONTINUOUSLY through our body temples! BREATHING your way through calamity is an art form that can only be mastered through [...]

Manifest Manna: Meditate on Psalm 8:1-2. “O Lord, Our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. V2. From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.” Why Did King David Put Singers & Psalmists Before The Ark? David organized 4000 musicians and 288 singers to minister to God in SHIFTS that continued 24 hours a day! (1 Chr 6:31-33; 15:16-22; 23:4-6). In fact, David financially released them that they might worship and pray as their full time occupation (1 Chr 9:33; 25:7). Being full time, they had the opportunity to develop in skill and grace. David taught that God inhabits or is enthroned upon the praise of His people (Ps 22:3). He understood that the people of God upon the earth through worship would enter into [...]

MANIFEST MANNA: Meditate on Isaiah 58:8-9. "Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry out for help, and he will say: Here I am." The root of this meditation has to do with the results one can experience when striving to please God. And one of the key ways that we please God is by reaching out to others. Ecclesiastes Chapter 3:5 says that there is a "time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing..." We are living in a time where we must accurately discern what season we are in--both personally and in the Body of Christ. The Spirit of the Lord is guiding us to treat this particular season [...]

MANIFEST MANNA: Meditate on Romans 12:6-8 "We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully." The gift God has placed inside of us has been put there to minister directly to our private pain, while at the same time, facilitating someone else's public breakthrough--so that HE may be glorified. These gifts then become a powerful part of our testimony. Our TESTIMONY is evidence or proof provided by the existence or appearance of something. Yet our FAITH is confidence in the fulfillment of a promise without actual evidence. How then, do [...]

MANIFEST MANNA: Meditate on Romans 8:26-27. "...In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. v27. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will." How grateful I am that God does not leave us to our own devises and resources to cope with daily challenges! If that were so, we'd be in a world of trouble. No matter how deep your knowledge of scripture, the extent of your education, or the gravity of your gift--without God, we can do NOTHING. Of course, we may experience a measure of success for a season, and may in fact prosper in the eyes of society. But the power of an intense, effective, [...]

MANIFEST MANNA: Meditate on Hebrews 4:16. "Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." Today, the Spirit of the Lord says, "Re-calibrate!" Every now and then, all areas of our lives deserve an internal assessment; an intentional re-checking of the course in which we have been on, and the devising of a plan which adjusts and corrects as needed. When we pray, our intention must be to activate and engage EVERY MEMBER OF THE TRINITY: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The principle is this: We are praying TO GOD, by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT, in the Name of JESUS! Now SHIFT your PRAYER POSTURE. Think of it this way: Jesus intercedes, God authorizes, and the Holy Ghost completes the assignment. NOW we are [...]
