Prayer Tool of Fellowship with the Saints 

and Positive People - Ratchet

Saints are not just the prophets of the Old Testament and the apostles of the New Testament. Anyone who is a disciplined follower of Jesus

Christ and makes a conscious choice to develop in Christ consciousness is a saint. The time that saints spend together is called fellowship. Formal fellowship takes place when you regularly gather with others weekly for services and studies. Informal fellowship provides an opportunity for saints to do fun things together, such as going to the movies, sporting events, or playing games. Both formal and informal fellowships strengthen and encourage you to continue in your love journey and path towards wholeness. The original disciples were so effective in their kingdom work because “they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers (Acts 2:42).” For your holistic growth and development, you must do the same.

The idea of fellowship is not limited to saints but is inclusive of positive people. Spend time with like-minded people who are doing things you desire to try or that you enjoy. Fellowshipping, in this way, leads to connections that can enhance your health, harmonious relationships, and your wealth. You can also mentor people who have a hunger for success in an area that you may specialize in that is not directly related to spirituality. Building genuine rapport and establishing authentic relationships with other positive people who may not be aware of their spiritual identity leads them to a deeper connection with the Divine.

A ratchet is a mechanical device with a toothed wheel and pawl that permits it to move together in one direction to tighten a bolt or screw. When you Fellowship with the Saints and Positive People, you move in one direction together to strengthen and manifest mutual good in your lives. Although you may experience challenges in fellowship, rest assured that it is working together for your good. “All things work together for the good to them that love God to them who are the called according to God’s purpose (Romans 8:28).

  Who do you desire to be when you grow up? Read – I John 3:1-10 Scripture : “Beloved, now we are the offspring of God, and what  we will be has not yet been revealed. But we know that when  Christ appears, we will be mirror images (I John 3:1).” Denial : “My life is not about wants, but desires.” Affirmation : “I AM becoming more of the beloved offspring of  God that I already AM.” T.J. Holmes, an award-winning journalist and ABC news anchor and  correspondent, was the keynote speaker at my daughter,  Courtney’s, graduation from Walden University on Saturday, August 3, 2019, at the National Harbor in Prince George’s County, Maryland.  It was one of the largest graduations that I had ever attended. There  were graduates there from all over the earth. I cried from the time  the commencement address began until it ended. It was more than  me being proud of my daughter’s accomplishment of getting a  master’s degree in business administration. It was deeper than the  gathering of family an

Spoken I AMs Read – John 6:53-70 Scripture: “ It is the Spirit that gives life, not the flesh. The words that I speak, they are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63).” Denial: “There is no limit to who I can be.” Affirmation: “Everything that Jesus Christ said about himself, I can say about myself.” Jesus, our Wayshower, understood the power of his words.  Therefore, he made a conscious decision to speak life. When Jesus  said the words, I AM, he meant what he said. He was declaring his  divine nature and the truth of his being. When we see Jesus as our  Wayshower, it brings our attention to the truth that everything that  Jesus said about himself, we can say about ourselves. Every I AM  statement that Jesus made in the scriptures we can declare about  ourselves. There are seven recorded instances where Jesus actually begins a  statement with the words, I AM. I AM the Bread of Life (John 6:35).  I AM the Light of the World (John 9:5). I AM the Good Shepherd  (John 10:11-14). I AM the

Praying in the Already

  “ He asked this only to try him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do (John 6:6).”  Many people see prayers from the imagery of two roles: Santa Claus or a short-order cook. Some see a Santa Claus who gives out toys and gifts based on their naughty or nice behavior. The thought is that if you do all the right things, then God hears and answers your prayers. However, if you think, say. or do something that is not right or perfect, then God will not give you what you desire.  Others see God as a short-order cook. A waitress takes your order then calls it out to the cook who makes it in the kitchen. When your order is ready, the cook rings the bell signaling the waitress to pick it up and bring it to your table so that you can eat it and pay the bill. Some people believe that through prayer, God takes your requests, cooks them up, and delivers them to you.  When you pray in the already, you realize that God is neither Santa Claus nor a short-order cook.
