Diversion ENDS!

Diversion ENDS!  

At the beginning of June, God blessed me with a trip to London for the International Alpha Conference, and it was an incredible week.  The English are so polite, and even their traffic signs are dignified


This one in particular became a declaration for my travel companion, Debi Tengler and me.  “Diversion Ends!” 
We began (and have continued) to declare that the diversions in our lives must end, and the doors to distractions must close.  
Your desire for marriage is a God given desire, for a much higher purpose than you can imagine  It is a desire for the fulfillment of your destiny, as well as the destiny of the spouse God has for you.  It is a strategic alliance, so be expectant for God’s best, and do not allow diversions to take your eyes off of the high road.  
Yesterday the world said goodbye to an amazing man of courage.  This quote is a good reminder that we need to listen to the “still small voice”, and remain focused on believing for God’s best, in all areas of our lives. 
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”  - Steve Jobs
The other voices, and our man-pleasing efforts, are all diversions.  The voices:  Fear, Insecurity, Self-condemnation, Compromise, Failure, Rejection...  
God sees you at your best, walking in the fullness of all He has for you, and with the person of your Divine Alliance!  The purpose of making declarations is speak God’s Truth over the voice and noise of the accuser.  We need our ears to hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying to each one of us.  
You have been given the Keys to the Kingdom!   Use them!  
      “The key of the house of David 
I will lay on his shoulder; 
So he shall open, and no one shall shut; 
And he shall shut, and no one shall open.” (Isaiah 22:22 NKJV)
Declarations:  
Father we thank You that You have given us the authority to bind and loose, and to open and shut, as Your sons and daughters.  You have given us the Keys to the Kingdom because we put our trust You.  Open our ears to hear Your voice, and our eyes to see the higher way.  Give us Your heart to love the world around us.   
  • We declare today the end to all diversions and distractions.
  • Thank you Lord, that when we ask, seek and knock, the doors will open!  
  • With the Keys God has given to us, we declare doors of the Divine Alliances, relationships with God’s best, to open that no one shall shut.
  • We declare over our lives, and the lives of the people chosen to be in relationship with us, that the doors that need to be shut are closed, that no one shall open.  
  • LORD, show us the doors in our lives that need to be shut: Distracting and destructive relationships?  Time wasting habits? ???
  • We declare that we have eyes to see, and ears to hear the voice of the Lord saying, “This is the way, walk in it...” (Isaiah 30:21 NKJV)
  • We declare that Your perfect Love casts out all fear!  We declare that the men are encompassed Your Love.   “FEAR NOT!”  The door to fear is shut, that no one can open it!  
Amen!  


Expecting to be amazed ~
