Through out the Book of Acts, Marie demonstrates where a season of closed doors in prayer, counsel, and persecution, opened the door into the harvest.

Fight With Light!

1. PRAY FROM ABOVE.
o We are born from above, so it’s your natural prayer location.
o Lord, what’s heaven’s take on this? Get the circumstantial-hand out of your face.
2. PRAY FROM FAITH
o Get your knower going. You can always ask for a gift of faith. Internal Assurance or evidence is God’s guarantee, not just a mental closure.
3. PRAY WITH PROMISES
o Apostle Paul said, a good fight has promises…
o It might be K.O. in the first round, or it might be a 10 round. But I will fight with the tools God gave me, and in Christ, I will win. It’s an equipped fight. What promises is going sharing with you, to strengthen you, to fight?
4. PRAY FROM YOUR SPIRIT
o Rivers within you. Holy Spirit intercessor is in us. Don’t strive. He is willing…. praying from our inner man. We are spirit, not just body and neurons and natural.
5. PRAY IN TONGUES.
o It’s the perfect prayer, and hits the target every time. There is a flow to it. Release your personal praying language and Fight with Light.

Originally recorded for the Frederick MOPS group at FCOB, this video by Freda Thomas speaks to those of us who are homeschooling our kids for the first time AND those of us that are seasoned.

Freda's three points:
1. How is my child doing emotionally?
2. How is my connection with my child?
3. Where is my child academically?

Discussion about
Pursuing Your Bridegroom
Purposing Your Heart
Purchasing MORE Oil

What has pursuing Jesus, in a love relationship (bridegroom) looked like for you over the years?

What does it feel like when your relationship w/ Jesus isn't focused on love anymore?

What does it look like to you to purchase oil?

The 5 virgins practice Prophetic Prudence:

1. Pursue The Bridgegroom
2. Purpose Your Heart
3. Purchase More Oil

Pastors are real people just like us. They don't hear from God better or easier than we do. It's about being in the Word and the quality time we're spending with the Father that helps us find our bearings between the storms in our life.

"I"m okay in the middle of the storm, not knowing what's going on and what direction I'm heading in. It's more important to know He/God is here with me than having a very clear insight about what's going on around me." -Freda
