” that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man”

I’m posting a prayer I have developed this past year for ME (my copyright is that you have the right to copy).  Its not the only thing I petition heaven for as many of you are regularly in my conversations with Jehovah!  I’ve often thought why do I pray for myself, it seems so very selfish!  Why isn’t something changing? God, do you hear me?

Yet, I knew that in order for me to be strengthen in my inner man I needed to ask for help!

Hallelujah! Revelation has come to my soul…He hears me…He told me so! Yes, He does talk to us!  AND that is the fruit of intimacy with our Bridegroom, King and Judge! He loves to hear our hearts and He will and does share His heart with us!

Our conversations with the LORD can be much like they are with others: when one is speaking the other is thinking about what they are going to say next instead of slowing down to listen.

The issue of “being still and knowing He is GOD” is simple but not easy.  I would close my eyes and  hear the rush of thoughts competing with the voice of the LORD!  Sometimes I would finally quite down and fall asleep.  What heavenly peace! There have been moments where I sensed I had broken through the gates of heaven into His Throne room but alas, it was time to get back to life.

It took me almost a year to understand the importance of writing all the “tasks” or “distractions” from prayer  down during my time before the LORD and then laying them aside.

My prayer for you is that you will being the journey of regular/daily prayer. Write down things you would like to talk to the LORD about. Organize your list.

Here comes the the secret to prayer:  SCHEDULE IT! Your prayer times will perish (vanish) if you don’t first SCHEDULE IT!

We All Need to Strengthen the Inner-man!

My Prayer****

FATHER, release the spirit of the fear of God into my heart. Release the lightning and thunder from Your Throne to strike my heart (Rev. 4:5) with Your majesty, that I might live in awe before You.

Release Your presence and holy dread that makes me tremble before You. Unite my heart to your Heart and Word and cause me to delight in the fear of God.

ABBA, strengthen my spirit with ENDURANCE that I may do Your will with ZEAL and DILIGENCE and that I not quit pursuing the deep things of God. Lord, give me Your zeal as You gave it to Phineas and David and my beloved Jesus!

Impart endurance for FASTING. Direct my heart into the endurance in which Jesus walked so that I may have the strength to follow through in my commitments to God even when times are difficult.

FATHER, pour out Your love into my heart by releasing the influences of the Spirit to give me revelation of Your love for me, that it may overflow in love back to You and to others. ABBA, I cannot love others as you do without the revelation of how God loves God.  Would you impart to me this truth that I might be salt and light and a true witness.  Give me strength and discernment and direction into Your Heart for all my decisions and actions that my life will glorify you.

FATHER, allow me to comprehend Jesus’ love for me and to abide in it. Let His seal upon my heart fill me that I will love you with all my heart my soul my mind and my strength.

ABBA, help me to comprehend what is the width and length and depth and height of your love by experiencing the affections of Christ.  Let me abide in your love!  Let me see and love myself through Your eyes that I might daily thank you for who I am to You.

ABBA… let this love we have increase day to day for all eternity!

FATHER, let me see the light of Your glory. I want to encounter YOU.  Grant me Holy Spirit encounters (dreams, visions, angelic visitations, manifestations of light, fire, wind) as You gave to Moses, Isaiah, Ezekiel, John and Paul, LORD, they were all men, just like me.  Please show me your glory!!  Lift up the light of Your countenance upon me that I migt see you in all truth.  Lift me up in the spirit and bring me to Your holy hill.  Open my eyes that I may see you!

ABBA, strengthen me so I may maintain a life in Your word with desire for it. When I lose this focus, send Your word to deliver me as You did for the saints at Ephesus, Sardis and Laodicea.  Alert me when I need to recommit my schedule and priorities to live as a person of one thing who regularly sits at Your feet, as Mary of Bethany did. Lord, let me recognize business, guilt and despair for what they are and to submit them to you and ask for help to overcome them that I may maintain fervency in my relationship with you.  Stir my heart to be in Your presence and to behold the beauty of the LORD!

FATHER, strengthen me to walk in a way  worthy of my highest calling and to escape all compromise that I might stand before You victorious in full obedience.  Help me to be faithfull unto all the fullness you have for me!  Cause me to be sober and alert that I will be prepared to escape the entrapments of sin.  Let me not be found taking your grace for granted.  Keep me from compromise so that I may walk blameless in body, soul and spirit!  Strengthen my heart that no offence may enter in. Create in me a clean heart.  Give me a steadfast spirit that I might guard my steps and walk in purity. Grant that I will have resolve to set nothing impure or wicked before my eyes.  Search my heart and reveal any secret faults that I might cling to and deliver me from evil.  And let not my heart be anxious.

ABBA, set a guard over my lips. Free me from defensive, angry and foolish speech. Let me restrain my conversation with man so that I might not trespass against my neighbor.  Let me not stumble in my words.  Let the words I speak be acceptable to you. Holy Spirit quench any unwholesome speech and let no corrupt words come from my mouth.  Let me be known as one who speaks life and only those words that bring edification.  Let me speak grace to those you bring into my life.

JESUS, I want to learn from You how to walk in lowliness. I commit to take Your yoke of humility and lowliness of heart in my life in my attitudes, speech, and actions. Give me wisdom on how to carry my heart in humility. Let me do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit and let me learn the mind of Christ!  Teach me to esteem others.

FATHER, give me insight into Your Word, will, and ways. Give me wisdom on how to live before You that I may walk in intimacy (union) with You.  Kiss me with the kisses of your word that I will have a spirit of wisdom and revelation in all knowledge of you and your will for my life.

ABBA, give me insight that I may walk under the Spirit’s leadership, that we may partner together, in every issue in my life including my finances, schedule, emotions, circumstances, physical body (diet, health), relationships (in the home, office, ministry), my future, fears, addictions, etc. Give me new spirit-filled ideas in each area of my life.

Let me know the secrets of Your heart…what You are thinking and feeling.. Show me Your ways…teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth…

I ask for insight into Your end-time purposes for eternity, the New Jerusalem, the judgment seat of Christ, and hell.  Give me, Lord, skill to understand Your mysteries even in the last days.

FATHER, strengthen my heart with supernatural peace and joy that overpowers fear and anxiety that I would not sin. Guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus! Fill me with hope and joy and peace that I may walk in confidence and the power of the Holy Spirit!

Ok, so I’ve prayed this prayer over a year and sometimes I look at the way I lived my life at the end of the day and wonder what happened?  The question is: “What would have happened if I hadn’t prayed these prayers?”

Becky and Jerry...IN ACTION!!!

The LORD wrapped up Becky and I like “two peas in a pod” to share our testimony and the message planted in our hearts, “Contend ing For The Fullness of God In Our Lives”.   Side by side, we ministered in the LORD by the power of unity, through the Holy Spirit, as “two became one” in Him.  God gave us favour over the skies as we rarely saw inclement weather behind the steering wheel of our 5,000 mile road trip which allowed us to minister to over a hundred people from the wells of anointing of the International House of Prayer in Kansas City.

Prayer and Prophetic Gathering

We want to thank those who prayed, prophesied, and invested in our time of ministry, then sent us on our way to Aaron (my son) and Ashley’s (our new daughter-in-law) wedding.  I was honored to officiate the blessed occasion!!!

Colorado Springs, Colorado

Our first stop was in Colorado Springs, Colorado on November 1st.  We were treated like royalty by the Danyow’s with a delicious dinner and a jammy bed.  We had an opportunity to get caught up on years gone by and on our vision for our road trip. It is good to know that our brother and sister in Christ are being salt and light to those their lives touch.

Las Vegas, Nevada

When we arrived in Las Vegas, Nevada we were hosted by a dear friend, Elsa Cascos.  Our brief visit gave us an occasion to reunite with our friends from Word of Grace (The Turner’s, Jerry Rimmer, Stevo, Kitty Sprout) on Tuesday night and to meet Pastor Ruben and his wife Lilliana. We swapped stories from over a decade of being disconnected with our friends and then blessed our loved ones with prophetic words and prayers.  What an incredible night of body building and fellowship!  Hopefully we will get some pictures to share from this evening.

Mi Casa Su Casa...Becky and Elsa in her home

On Wednesday, November 4th, 2009 (the day the “awakening” broke out with the IHOU students at chapel) Becky and I shared for the first time together, literally, like a tag team at Comunidad Cristiana De Las Vegas.  Pastor Ruben graciously allowed us to minister to the congregation after he lead an IHOP style worship which left us tenderized before the LORD.  After sharing our message we ministered to approximately a dozen couples though our testimony on reconciliation and then began prophetic ministry with anyone who wanted to receive.  Becky and I were actually watching the LORD do His work through our almost blind faith.  We were astonished to observe the tears and joy expressed while we stepped out in obedience.  After working with the couples we prophesied over individuals and then the Youth Group as a whole.   Pastor Ruben, who reminded us how well he knew his congregation, gave us some great feedback on the sweetness of God’s words to the brothers and sisters of Comunidad Cristiana and testimonies of healing, deliverance and encouragement for many.  We were there until 11:30 pm.

Earlier that day (November 4th), Rick and Debbie Newman (close friends and ministry companions from Sonrise Christian Fellowship:1992), treated us to a fabulous lunch and a heartfelt time of reunion, full of fond memories.  Then it was off to dinner with my brother Casey and his wife Barbie.  They shared with us pictures and stories from their vacation to Ireland….with no blarney…for sure.

We shared a glorious lunch with Pastor Ruben the next day (recapping the previous evening’s ministry time), before we visited my ailing step-father, Paul, and drove to Yucca Valley, California.

Yucca Valley, California

g-g-boys Kayden & Skyler

G-G-PA & Skyler!!

We stayed with our daughter Christy and her husband Austin in their RV while intermittently bouncing our two GGBOYS (Great Grandsons) on our knees, smiling with glee at their expressions of wonder.  Of course this means we were able to see some of our other grandchildren, Ashley,  Nicole, Torrie, Joshua and Kevin on leave from the Marines.

Desert Hot Springs, California

Friday evening we joined our prayers with Bo and Stephanie Handran in a home fellowship group that meets at Don and Jean Snook’s home in Desert Hot Springs, California.  After we prayed and worshiped, Becky and I were blessed again to share the message on our hearts and prophesy over those in attendance.  It was another late night filled with the fullness of the LORD for all!

Twentynine Palms, California

Saturday, we drove out to Twentynine Palms to have lunch with the Perez Family.  What a joyful time of communion in the LORD.  Patrick and Roxanne had exciting news about a move they may be making and we were blessed to hear a worship song their son Kellen wrote that was inspired by a poem from our website (www.jerrypquinn.org)  We left the Perez family with encouraging words both to and from them.

Later than evening Tony and Betty Salto dropped by to fellowship with us at our daughter Christy’s house in Yucca Valley.  We caught up on what is happening in the LORD with the Spanish Congregation, Centro Cristiano Para La Familia.  Pastor Tony really has a burden to see an Acts Chapter 2 assembly with those God has given him to minister to as well as teaching them to be prepared for return of the Lord!

Morongo Valley, California

We attended a worship service at The Church of the Lighted Cross in Morongo Valley by invitation from Bo Handran and then Don Snook asked us to come to the 6pm gathering.  The Snook’s were among others who expressed an interest in coming to Onething09 in December.  It was another great evening “Contending for the fullness of God” as we met Pastor Bob Firl and his wife Sandy who asked if we could come back and spend two or three months to bring fire and light to the Morongo Basin. Please pray for open doors if this is God’s will.

Turlock-Elk Grove, California

We left the next morning for Turlock, California and then up to Elk Grove to visit briefly with Becky’s family.

Portland, Oregon

The next day, Tuesday, we rolled into Portland, Oregon.  For the next several days we were caught up in a whirlwind of wedding preparations which included family time with my brother Casey, his son (my nephew, Ryan) and my sister Kelly. There is also a story about an alleged “vehicle theft” turned “that which was lost, was found” tucked in here but you will have to petition me for more info on this event.  Then on Saturday, November 14th, 2009 at about 3:30pm I presented for the first time

Aaron  &  Ashley

Serving By His Grace For His Glory In His Love

Jerry & Becky Quinn

“Lighter’s of Burning and Shining Lamps Until He Returns!”

For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;  that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;  strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy;  giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.

“Walk worthy of the Lord”

This is not speaking of our salvation for we were not worthy to be be saved (Eph 2:8), this is our walk, the direction we walk in (Psa 1:1;Psa 119:105; Isa 2:5) the way we move (John 12:35), live (John 8:12) and have our being (Acts 17:28). It is like when Adam and Eve first walked in the Garden of Eden with the LORD (Gen 2:25) .  Innocent. Pure.  It is when we are found side by side with Him without shame in our nakedness (1Jn 2:6). This is that stroll which exemplifies the Beatitudes(Mat 5:1-9). It is a Kingdom stride in light.  When we walk in that garment of His light which is translucent and without façade.(1Jn 1:7)  It is walking in the Armour of Light (Rom 13:12) and walking in His Love (Eph 5:2; 2Jn 1:6)  This is how we will walk when we are “filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding.”

“Being fruitful in every good work”

God called us to be fruitful and multiply (Gen 1:27-28), and that we can tell a tree by its fruit (Gen 1:11; Mat 1:1-19; Mat 12:33; Luk 6:44).  Yeshua spoke a lot about fruit bearing.  In the natural a tree’s branches reach out in direct relationship to its root system.  The strength of its root system determines its health as well as its ability to weather the storms of life.  We as spiritual trees are to be rooted and grounded in His love(Eph 3:17) .  But first we must be planted in good soil  (Mat 13:23) so that when we are nurtured (light- Eph 5:9, water- Eph 5:26, pruning- John 15:2) we will produce much fruit.   Our budding, when “filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding”, will produce the fruit of righteousness.  We are to exemplify, in our lives, the Tree of Life and bring healing to those God has surrounded us with.  When we bear this kind of fruit the Lord can use it to bring “healing to the nations”.

“Strengthened with all might”

To be strengthened means we increase in vigor.  Our strengthening comes from abiding in the Lord and His word (Psa 119:28; Isa 41:10; 2Th 3:3; 1Pe 5:10) and by applying Gods word in our life.  As we grow in the knowledge of God we will be empowered with excellence in our soul to do the miraculous.

CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT HOW

SQUARE PEG IN A ROUND HOLE – there are some in the Body of Christ that truly love the Church and winning the lost but are frustrated UNTIL they find their primary life calling in serving the lost through a lifestyle of worship and intercession.

The Lord wants to give you language for your primary passion. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO APOLOGIZE FOR YOUR INTENSITY AND PASSION FOR PRAYER AND WORSHIP. There is power in knowing who you are before God.  INTERCESSORS TAKE COURAGE – the Man leading the Great Commission (Jesus) is an eternal intercessor. He loves prayer and will restore it to its rightful place of dignity and honor in the Church before He returns.”
