Teaching Points

Joshua 4:5-7 AMP
And Joshua said to them, Pass over before the ark of the Lord your God in the midst of the Jordan, and take up every man of you a stone on his shoulder, as is the number of the tribes of the Israelites, That this may be a sign among you when your children ask in time to come, What do these stones mean to you? Then you shall tell them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; when it passed over the Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off. So these stones shall be to the Israelites a memorial forever.

Remembrance
This is an hour for Trinity's rejoicing. This Body has come through so much. Look at what has attacked and who the devil has stolen from us. Have we quit? Have we given up? No, see what God has created out of what the enemy meant of harm. We make memorials so we can put ourselves in remembrance to what God has brought us through. It refuels us and honors the Lord. That's why God had Joshua and the tribes make memorial, He knows our memory is perishable but when we exercise remembrance, it builds us up. Then we can tell and show our children what the Lord has done and that testimony will be a touchstone of strength for them. Therefore we need to find tangible ways to bring to memory the victories, this can be a simple as a writing in our prayer journals to even installing a granite monument like what was just placed in Trinity's prayer garden.



The Prayer Pulse

“The Great Release”
Prophecy delivered by Dr. Creflo A. Dollar, May 20, 2007
“Now you are about to enter into a phase of great release for all of the pressure and trials that this day will hold. For My Word is at hand, and it is on the line, and it will stand. But through you I’ll show My master plan to this generation of this land. So today, is a day of turning points in your way—to move from that which has caused you to sway."

"Now rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for all of your enemies will be had. And I will wash your troubles away. But now know that this day will not be like others. And this time that you have gathered will push your trials further. Now prepare yourself in praise this day, for I will surely show you My way—a way that will lead you into a place—a place ordained for this very day."

"So again, I say unto you, rejoice with all your might. Rejoice and begin to praise Me! And begin to praise Me, and I’ll show up and set you free! So I am about to sit on you now, and when I am done, you won’t have to wonder how, for the wisdom that I’ll impart will be used to benefit you. And after you understand this day, you’re going to know I’m going to bring you through,” saith the Spirit of God!

Isaiah 41:18-20 AMP
I will open rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the acacia, the myrtle, and the wild olive; I will set the cypress in the desert, the plane [tree] and the pine [tree] together, That men may see and know and consider and understand together that the hand of the Lord has done this, that the Holy One of Israel has created it.
