Blessing to all my sweet prayer warriors! Thank you as always for your faithfulness in prayer for D4Y and for me personally. I pray that God would pour His multiplied blessings back over you 🙂
Updates
A couple updates since last week, first is that I have finally made a decision on the outreach/ground-staking thing (which is what I have continually asked for wisdom on). I’m about 98% sure I am to lay it on the altar and walk away. JI (my partner) has not demonstrated that he is in a good place with the Lord and I need wisdom to know how much God wants me to say to him about how his character has impacted my decision. I want him to feel my love, not attacked – yet I feel he needs to hear truth, but I want God to keep this amiable if at all possible. Please pray for protection over my reputation.
Second update is hubby. Last week when I sent the update he was doing better than I’ve ever seen him, I truly believed it would stabilize and he would maintain it… but that hasn’t happened. One of the things he struggles with is consistency, because he gets discouraged which leads to him altering his behavior (basically it makes him kinda cranky to live with). Kimberly’s prayer on last week’s update nailed it – he STRONGLY wants to be the provider for our household, but we both know God has put us in this season and we’re aligned with Him. Please pray for Allen to have patience until God changes things in this area (but feel free to pray He does that soon! LOL).
New Requests
Last week the Lord prompted me to run some Facebook advertising for Dyed4you Art. He blessed it amazingly and The number of fans on our FB page nearly doubled in 3 days! During that time I received one order (though not a direct result of the ad), which covered the cost of the ad. Please pray that the Lord would stir in the hearts of those who He wants to have buying these pieces and for Him to give me wisdom not just in creating the images, but in knowing what products to offer.
The other request is because I’m having D4Y houseguests this week! Most of you may remember when Amanda E visited in August (because I posted tons of incredible video), well she and two friends will be joining us for several days later this week. On the one hand I am very excited – because I know God ordained this time and I am expectant to see what He has planned, on the other hand I am not someone who enjoys having people in my space and I am very accustomed to spending large quantities of time alone. Please pray for peace for all, for God to move and have His way, and whatever else He leads you to pray… I trust you guys 🙂
Continued Prayer
This week I added gift sets to the Dyed4you website. One of my primary reasons for doing so is that I get about 4x the web traffic that Scent of Heaven does and frankly, increased sales are needed for them. I also know I’ve previously requested prayer for increase over North Star Books (Donelda’s bookstore and coffee shop that consigns D4Y art), and they also are in need of continued increase. Since both these businesses are very attached to D4Y can we just agree in prayer for full provision for both of them.
Father God, I just thank You for the obedience that caused the birthing of both Scent of Heaven and North Star Books. Lord, since these were created at Your prompting we trust that where You lead You also provide. So I ask that You pour out abundant provision over Your faithful servants. Lord stir the hearts of those who need the oils at The Scent of Heaven and align regular customers who will be blessed by North Star Books – Lord, You are fully able to create mutual blessings – so we just ask that You do so. I thank You Lord that every need of these businesses (and their owners) is met and every bill paid. You are faithful.
Lord in Psalm 37 You’ve said, “23The steps of a man are established by the LORD, when he delights in his way; 24 though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the LORD upholds his hand. 25I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread. 26He is ever lending generously, and his children become a blessing.” Thank You God that their steps were and are established by You, that You uphold them, that their needs are met, and that they will have surplus to share! Bless them Lord for Your glory!!!
Quick Praise Report
The few days right after my post last week I had AMAZING scarf sales – I could feel your prayers!!! Thank you so much 🙂 I truly appreciate you all – please know that I pray for you guys too – thank you and God bless you!
Thank you Lord for clarity in the decision with the ground-staking project. I pray a special touch upon Meghan as she communicates with JI. I ask you to sear her lips. That only what has been purified by you would pass through them. I ask that the Holy Spirit go before her and prepare the hearer to receive as from you. I stand in Jesus name against any plans of the enemy in this situation and declare the victory of the Lord, that His name would be glorified. You are our defender, Lord, and we ask divine protection and that no ill word will be spoken against Meghan or her ministry. Make JI’s mind and heart fertile ground for your truth. We thank you Lord for your direction and wisdom and we trust your for the outcome. Shine forth your light for all to see.
And for Allen Lord, remind him of his value and worth in you. Remind him today that he is where You want him to be. Envelope him in your love Lord and show him His mighty place in You. Infuse him with your confidence and assure him of His position and that it is secure. Rise up the mighty spirit man inside of him and let him ROAR!!! (I see slumped shoulders pulling up and pulling back, chest swelling like a deep breath, head raising and a mighty roar going forth.) Make it so Jesus. May his roar of authority and position push back the enemy and take back the ground and prepare the way to advance into the territory you have given him. Amen. Praise you Jesus.
Lord you guide our steps. I pray You guide Meghan as she walks in the direction you lead her and touch her lips with a hot coal from your altar Lord and speak through her concerning what needs to be said to her friend and associate. Lord I pray for your Holy Fire to stir his haert that he would serve you fully . Lord bless Meghan’s time with her firends and give her peace and patience. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Let your Holy Fire burn and touch each life and may they never be the same again. Thank you Lord for increase in orders and bless each item that goes forth in your name and may your anointing go forth and set the captive free and bring in the harvest. Lord we pray for revival to come forth in your name from this ministry. Bless the book store let the business increase let your glory fall on each person that sets foot on this ground that has been declared for your gory Lord. WE een you Lord and your holy fire to touch us so we will never be the same again. Lord touch Allen and fill to over flowing. Give him peace and rest lift any burden from his heart and anything weighing him down and that is not of you. Bring increase in wisdom and prophetic dreams. Fill hids mouth with words to speak to encourage others and to speak into their lives. Bring the hurting to him to lay his hands o them to bring healing and salvation. Holy Fire on his hands and the healing balm of Giliead. Speak to him in the night time and fill him with words to preach your gospel to set the captives free. Bless Meghan and anoint her hands as she does your will Lord and give her ever increasing peace and love from your throne room.
Amen, Amen, and Amen!!!
