I pray that Your Name, Father, be holy in each of our lives.  That we set Your Name apart from all other names and live by the nature and character of Your Name.  That we live by all that Your Name stands for, that we live by nothing short of Your Name.  I pray that Your Name be set apart exclusively in our lives today for Your glory.  May our worship be worthy of and in honor of all that You are.  Let your name be holy in us as Your Name is holy in heaven.

I pray that Your will be done in Pagosa Springs and Restoration Fellowship as Your will is already established in heaven.  I pray that nothing be allowed that is not Your will.  I pray that our lives be lived in such a way that You will be honored to grant Your will in every situation.  No matter how great or how small.  Your will is established in heaven everywhere.  Let it be so in us today.

I pray that Your kingdom come to us today.  That the King’s domain be established in and around us. Let the King rule.  I choose this day to submit to the rule of King Jesus in my life. Let all that is the kingdom of heaven rule on earth in Pagosa Springs today.  Let us come to understand your dominion so as to take authority with dominion power that You have granted us.

I pray that bread would come to our tables today.  That all our needs be met.  Grant us enough bread to bless all around us.  Let Your bread spread to other tables around us through us.  Grant us the blessing of Your bread to us today in whatever form You choose to give it. I pray for millions of dollars to come to our tables in this city, county and state.  Bless us in that way so as to expand Your kingdom, not just our kingdom.  For Your kingdom is far greater.  Bless it through us today.

I pray that all that must be forgiven will be forgiven.  Let forgiveness flow through us.  Forgive us all our debts, sins, trespasses and shortcomings by and through the blood of Jesus.  Grant us the will to choose to forgive all who are indebted or have sinned and trespassed against us.

I pray that no temptation come our way that we cannot resist.  I pray that the evil one and all that is evil be set apart from us today.  I command every spirit connected to temptation and evil to leave us now in the name of Jesus.  I refuse to open any door to your evil ways in the name of Jesus.

I pray that You alone be granted power, glory and honor in our lives today.  I pray that the demonstration and manifestation of Your power and glory be all that it is meant to be forever and ever and ever and ever.  AMEN – so be it, let it be so!

1) 2011 will be a year of Intense Revelation.  This will be real and personal to everyone thirsting for and hungry for intimacy with God.  It is revelation about what He wants us to be and become.  What He wants done and how He wants it done.  This will require intimate personal relationshihp with Father.  Jesus went so far as to say He would not say or do anything that He did not first hear or see from Father first.  That will be the foundation of revelation.  Intimacy.  A face to face encounter, eye to eye.

2) 2011 will be a year of Aggressive, Compelling Zeal.  A year when we will chase after the zeal of God (Isa.42:13).  God is zealous about what He wants done.  A single focused, driven determination.  Ambition that will not quit.  Get-r-done mentality.  Nothing will dare get in the way of the zeal of God and what He wants with, in and through us at His expense, for His Glory and our benefit and pleasure. Zeal will consume us in a Godly way.  A John the Baptist focus as a mover and shacker for God.  A true forerunner spirit. Intense conviction.  Extreme passion.

3) 2011 will be a year of Uncommon Wisdom.  Where there is revelation and zeal we need the wisdom of God.  The what, how, when, where to be, and how to do what this is all about.  This wisdom flows out of intimacy and it partners with zeal.  It unleashes a discernment unkown to common man.  Ephesians 1:17-18 says this: “…that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened…”  This wisdom, knowledge and understanding becomes one with revelation and zeal.  It accomplishes only what God envisions for us and we get blessed.

So it is with great anticipation and excitement I want to challenge you to face the realities of this year.  Blessings!!
