POWER PROJECT (3) | Special Miracles Edition - Day 1 and 2


The Power Project began sometime in May 2013 and simply put, the experience has been wonderful. For details on the first episode and posts from part of the second, please click here.

This is the third installment of the project and with permission from the group admin, I'll commit to posting an abridged version of the group discussions once in a while.

Everyone in the group is required to, among other things, read a chapter in the book of Acts daily.

It seems to me that this eight month is a call to deeper fellowship with the Holy Spirit as it is written:
1“In the eighth month of the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying, 2 “The Lord has been very angry with your fathers. 3 Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Return to Me,” says the Lord of hosts, “and I will return to you,” says the Lord of hosts.”
- Zechariah 1:1-3
Quite a lot of goodwill messages have been released concerning this month and beyond saying “Amen” to them, we have to “War with prophecy” as the Scripture says:
18 This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare,”
- 1st Tim. 1:18
As you read through the conversations, please feel free to share your thoughts, insights, questions and comments also. We look forward to hearing from you as you share with the Body of Christ what things are being quickened in your spirit.
God bless you!

Shalom saints of God. My friend shared a word this morning and it so blessed my heart, enjoy!
“Come in the name of the LORD into this new month; announce to August that you have come in the name of the LORD. Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD. No impossibilities, nothing too hard, mountains skip like rams, oceans part, wildernesses become fruitful fields, flints turn to fountains, mountains sing, hills clap, highlands made plain, valleys exalted, dry valleys become refreshing spring; favour, mercy, grace, open doors, angels attend to you because you have come in the name of the One Who was, Who is and is to come. CELEBRATE!!!”
Please I encourage you to read @Bayor's article on August here: http://bit.ly/1bLkAwn. Great words. It is poetic and prophetic. Thank you bro, more grace to you :)

NATHANIEL BASSEY:
Hallelujah for AWE-GUST !
There is something so special about August that even the elements of nature have come to recognize.
The rainy season begins in March, intensifies in June and parts of July, but stops in August to begin again in early September. That's why there is something called 'THE AUGUST BREAK'.
August is also the 8th month, and many would see this as representing a new beginning or season. Even the new calendar year of the ministry I belong to, the RCCG, begins in August, after the convention.
Why the AUGUST BREAK? Hear me, there's someone also called, THE AUGUST VISITOR. And who is this???
"Lift up your heads, O you gates (August)! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in" (Psalm 24:7)
The King of glory. The LORD strong and mighty. The LORD mighty in battle. He is the AUGUST VISITOR.
 Therefore I prophecy that every battle, struggle and trouble you have faced hitherto, Have all come to an end. But unlike the rainy season, they shall not begin again next month.
And because the August visitor has stepped in - THE KING OF GLORY - I say receive rest from every side. It's a new season; a break from all your troubles in Jesus name.
Happy new month. Please take this seriously

Hello Family! It's a new day with a new beginning in a new season of special miracles indeed. Good to be here. My expectations for the month are high and I've keyed in by faith. God & I are in this together. I'm so happy and excited about the testimonies ahead of us. @Bayor, I've been blessed by the article and I shared it with all of my friends and family. Thank you for sharing such inspiration. I was greatly awed and improved. Good to see each one here again.

NATHANIEL BASSEY:
" But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."       - Acts 1:1-8
Jesus commanded his disciples to 'wait' until they be endowed with power before going out to witness. He understood the place of power in preaching the gospel. Witnessing the gospel without power is to witness a gospel of 'weakness'. Indeed Paul says, 'the kingdom of God is not in word only, but in power and the Holy Ghost. We must go back to the good old strategy of "waiting on God" before launching out on kingdom assignments.
“To them also He showed Himself alive after His passion (His suffering in the garden and on the cross) by [a series of] many convincing demonstrations [unquestionable evidences and infallible proofs], appearing to them during forty days and talking [to them] about the things of the kingdom of God.”
- Acts 1:3 Amplified

Infallible proofs and unquestionable evidences must accompany our gospel.
Indeed this chapter begins by saying the things he began to "DO and TEACH", it's time to DO' some things. DO' some love, DO some good works, DO some signs and wonders, DO some raising the dead, DO some casting out devils, DO some fruit of the spirit and gifts of the spirit. There is a kind of gospel that the world cannot deny, it is that of power expressed through love. But we MUST first, wait. Thank God unlike the disciples, we already have the Holy Ghost; however we must stir him up in us. And that's why power project 3 is here. God bless you all.

Day Two

‘Lanre KUNNUJI Olaminrewaju:
... Flesh and blood didn’t reveal this to you. Similar to the discussion I had with a friend. "Waiting" is so essential. God is not our house boy. He does things at His own appointed time. Our souls must just wait patiently and with a determination of not giving up. Nice one once again Bro

ARM- 'Amaka Rachael Mordi: 
It's an amazing month we've entered into. While praying yesterday, I knew in my spirit that this is that time/season of our lives we've always anticipated, prayed for or silently wished for.
Thus saith the Spirit of God: "I have ushered you into a season of REST. A season when with little or no effort, you accomplish extraordinary feats! A season where your desires of yesterdays and yesteryears are granted you! Supernatural miracles and testimonies would abound! August begins that season! Celebrate for I have gone before you to perfect all that concerns you."
I perceive by the Spirit a huge influx of money this month/season. We'd handle much more than we have ever handled and give much more than we have ever given. Debts would be erased and interests increased! Our accounts would go from debit to credits such that it would get the banks' attention.

Wow! Glory to God! This is an amazing revelation. A poetic introduction and reception of our (Awe)August Visitor, even though to me, He's equally a HOST. Thank us o much @bro Bayor. I'm so blessed by this.
Yes @Arm, resound it! Blow the trumpet! It's our season of rest roundabout!!!!!!!

Good morning saints of the most high God. Happy to be among the living today. Another opportunity to bless my world!
I was touched by the later part of Acts 1 yesterday where the disciples cast lots for the replacement of Judas. They never had to do that again after the Holy Spirit came. Many of us still live as though the Holy Spirit has not come. Not being sure about anything is a sign that we are not there yet. The Holy Spirit is here to reveal all things we need to know so we are never guessing or casting lots to make decisions. I want to know the Spirit and walk with Him more than ever from this season onwards. Thatz my number one focus for August. No better time to connect with Him so deeply like this season of REST and SPECIAL MIRACLES!

Aug 2 Fri 06:57
ARM- 'Amaka Rachael Mordi: 
In August, my decisions are His decisions, my thoughts are His thoughts, my words are His words, my actions and works and His actions and works! I am in sync with the Holy Spirit- spirit, soul & body! Thanks @BroIkechi! That answered a lot

ARM- 'Amaka Rachael Mordi: 
I just read this. I just can't keep it to myself. It would you or bless someone you know

Your Name And Your Destiny - Friday August 2nd, 2013,
Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee (Genesis 17:5).
Whatever name you answer, as a person, has a direct bearing on your destiny; your name gives meaning to your destiny. This explains why it was necessary for God to change the names of certain characters in the Bible in line with their destinies in God. A good example is Abraham, who was formerly called Abram. Abram meant exalted father or assumed father; one who was regarded as a father, even though he didn't have children.
However, one day, God spoke to him and said,"...behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee" (Genesis 17:4-5). He believed God, and immediately started answering the name "Abraham," meaning 'a father of many nations.'
Another example is Jacob; he was named Jacob at birth because when he was born, he held on to his brother's heel. Jacob means swindler or deceiver; and true to his name, he obtained his brother's birthright through deceit, with the aid of his mother. However, when he encountered the Angel of God's presence and asked to be blessed, the Angel wouldn't bless him until his name was changed from Jacob (the swindler) to Israel, a prince with God (Genesis 32:28); thus was his destiny transformed for good.
Before Peter came to Jesus, he answered the name Simon, meaning a reed shaken by the wind, unstable. As Simon, he wasn't consistent. One day Jesus said to Him, "And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, Greek: Petros) and upon this rock (Greek: Petra) I will build my church...." (Matthew 16:18)."Petros" means a little rock that's founded on a greater hidden rock (Petra), not just a stone; Signifying stability and consistency.
If the name you've been answering isn't consistent with the Word of God, you've got to change it, because your name is your destiny. It makes no difference that you have answered the name all your life; if you find that its meaning isn't consistent with the revelation of who you are as a new creation in Christ, you must respond to God's Word and change it as an act of faith. When you do, your new name will be recorded in heaven, and the destiny of the former one will be cancelled.
Prayer:
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for the revelation of your Word that enlightens me on who I am in Christ. Thank you for leading and guiding me in the way that I should go, taking paths that you've preordained for me, and elevating me unto higher levels of your glory, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
Further Study:
Matthew 16:16-18
And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

P. Amaka Serita Declan:
Wow! God bless everyone in this family. This is called 'corporate anointing' "Anointing without measure"..... No single individual believer can manifest this level of anointing. Only Jesus Himself walked in it, and as He was leaving, He bestowed it upon the church as a body....the anointing on the body.... Oooooops!!!! This level of anointing is generated only when two or three are gathered together in His name, just like this Power Project group.....We praise You, Lord Jesus. All glory, honour and majesty be ascribed unto You alone....

I've had this song on my phone for sometime now. And it's a song I use to sing, especially the Benny Hinn version. Today on my prayer walk, I put it on, and boy! Did I connect or what. I believe in my heart, so strongly, that this is my theme song for this month, especially the PP3. Amazing material to have while praying. It stirs one up to lay hold on God.

There came a sound from Heaven,
Like a rushing mighty wind,
It filled their hearts with singing,
And gave them peace within,
The Prophet gave this promise,
The Spirit will descend,
And from your inner being,
A river with no end.

Chorus 1
 There is a river
That flows from deep within,
There is a fountain
That frees the soul from sin,
Come to this water,
There is a vast supply,
There is a river
That never shall run dry.

There was a thirsty woman,
Who was drawing from a well,
Her life was ruined and wasted,
Her soul was bound for hell,
Then she met the Master,
Who told of her great sin,
And if you drink this water,
You'll never thirst again.

There is a river
That flows from God above,
There is a fountain
That's filled with His great love,
Come to this water
There is a vast supply,
There is a river
That never shall run dry.

Telimoye:

Acts 2! As we continue to pray in the Spirit we must realise that the Holy Spirit will always make an entrance and HE will only enter where HE is welcomed. In as much as we desire HIS presence it’s always good to Welcome HIM, believers met and were expectant, we are all here for a cause let's be expectant and welcome HIM in to this Month of August PP3 asking HIM to fill us completely with HIS Spirit. Welcome Holy Spirit welcome.
