Leah Porterfield Smith Feet & Back Healed
PRAYER - "Here Am I"
Laban was making life difficult for Jacob, so Jacob had to make a deal with him to allow him to have all the "ring-straked and spotted" livestock. As soon as the deal was made, God intervened. Nearly all the cattle began to be "ring-straked and spotted." This was no accident. God clearly spoke with Jacob about the matter, and Jacob affirmed that he and God had discussed it. Conversations with God are profitable.
Genesis 31:11 - "And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I."
PRINCIPALS - "Tamar"
Poor Tamar! Married Er. He died. Judah gave her Onan. He died, too! Judah promised his third son, Shelah. She waited, childless, for years. Judah never delivered. Tamar tricked Judah into laying with her by posing as a wayside harlot. Later, his servants reported that Tamar was pregnant from whoredom. Judah ordered her to be burned, until she revealed that HE was the father of her twins - Pharez and Zarah! Pharez became grandfather to Boaz, David, and Messiah.
Genesis 38:26 - "Judah...said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son."
PRINCIPLES - "Contentment"
Can you be happy just living a godly life, or are you addicted to the world's sugar-coated poisons? Do you find that God, Church, and the Bible do not satisfy you, or furnish a level of excitement you have come to expect? Contentment is "a perfect condition of life in which no aid or support is needed." No aid or support needed? Are you addicted to entertainment, recreation, sports, or anything else? If you are bored with God, you are in big trouble.
1 Timothy 6:6 - "But godliness with contentment is great gain."
PROPHECIES - "The Butler and the Baker"
It is so impossible for us to know ahead of time how wonderfully God is working in our lives. Joseph, in prison after being falsely accused of attempted rape, met two of Pharaoh's servants. Joseph would interpret a dream for each. One would live and one would die. But most importantly, God would use that occasion to exalt Joseph to the throne of Egypt.
Genesis 40:1 - "And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt."

| PLAN ON ATTENDING GOD HAS ALREADY TOLD ME MANY MIRACLES |
Live in Power
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
– Romans 6:4
As a believer, you actually have residing in you the same new life God gave Jesus when He raised Him from the dead. The old sinner you once were has died. You’ve become a new creation on the inside.
You are full of the resurrection life of God!
But sin, disobedience and living a selfish, carnal life will keep that resurrection life from flowing out. Sin will separate you from the power of God, even though you’re born again. Resurrection life will lay dormant in you if you walk in sin.
You can’t overcome sin by trying to stop sinning, however. You overcome it by walking after the new life God has put within you, by spending time in the Word and in prayer. As you do that, the Spirit of God will strengthen you and enable you to put that sin under your feet.
Remember, though, the Holy Spirit will not subdue those old fleshly habits of yours on His own. He’ll wait on you to take the initiative. Then He will strengthen you to follow through with your decision. He will teach you how to walk in the new life that is on the inside of you.
Take the first step today by asking for His help. Say, “Lord, I desire to experience the power to live by this new life every day. By a decision of my heart, I put down the dictates of sin. I declare myself dead to sin. In Jesus’ Name, I will spend time in prayer and in the Word today. As I do, I believe I’ll receive a Holy Ghost refreshing in my life. I believe I’ll begin to live out the resurrection power that You’ve placed in me!”
