Mona's Devotional - Scriptures 6/12/2022

​June 12, 2022
This past week we had a great conference at Mtn High. It wasn’t huge but intimate, sincere, relational, healing, transparent, full of His love, joy and peace. Many came caring heavy burdens of grief from losing a spouse, or family member. Many were full of discouragement and heaviness. Some were in bondage to fear over issues in their lives. Some needed refreshed as they were family caregivers. Many seeking the Lord for the next step in the season they are in. It was a peaceful week enjoying His presence and love through one another.
 
I am one who was healed in many areas of my heart, at least I am healing and see where I need healed. There’s been lots on my plate lately and I’m not always sure the direction I am to go but I received many words from the Lord, many answers from Him and some direction. I have so much on my heart that I will be writing about soon. I do not have much to share from myself this week but I will share some scriptures that have ministered to me a lot. His Word is far above anything I would say.
 
Meditate on these verses. Ask the Lord to show you how they speak to your life. His Word is always alive and will never return void so expect His Word to touch you heart and life in deep ways.
 
“Your new life began when the Holy Spirit gave you a new birth. Why then would you so foolishly turn from living in the Spirit by trying to finish by your own.” Galatians 3:3
 
“But we thank God for giving us the victory as conquerors through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One. So now, beloved ones, stand firm, stable, and enduring. Live your lives with an unshakable confidence. We know that we prosper and excel in every season by serving the Lord, because we are assured that our union with the Lord makes our labor productive with fruit that endures.” 1 Corinthians 15:57-58 
 
“So, what does all this mean? If God has determined to stand with us, tell me, who then could ever stand against us? For God has proved his love by giving us his greatest treasure, the gift of his Son. And since God freely offered him up as the sacrifice for us all, he certainly won’t withhold from us anything else he has to give.” Romans 8:31-32
 
“Not one promise from God is empty of power. Nothing is impossible with God.”
Luke 1:37
 
“Feast on the treasures of the heavenly realm and fill your thoughts with heavenly realities and not the distractions of the natural realm” Colossians 3:2
 
“Put your heart and soul into every activity you do, as though you are doing it for the Lord Himself and not merely for others.” Colossians 3:23
 
“Even when your path takes me through the valley of deepest darkness, fear will never conquer me, for you already have! Your authority is my strength and my peace. The comfort of your love takes away my fear.I’ll never be lonely, for you are near.”
Psalm 23:4
 
“Love never brings fear, for fear is always related to punishment. But love’s perfection drives the fear of punishment far from our hearts. Whoever walks constantly afraid of punishment has not reached love’s perfection. Our love for others is our grateful response to the love God first demonstrated to us.” 1 John 4:18
 
I could expound on each verse but you ask the Lord to show you how these words can touch your life. They are powerful.
 
Blessings to each of you and I know the Lord has something great and awesome for you and will speak it to your heart as you sit quietly listening. Love to you all!

Mona's Devotional - Word for World Conference 6/5/2022

6/5/2022

June 5, 2022
This week we have the opportunity to host a conference here at our place. A couple days ago the Lord kept me awake at night praying and woke me up writing this word from Him.
 
The Lord has been putting on my heart that this is beyond what our eyes are seeing. It’s beyond getting an elevator, cleaning the place, fixing meals, finding host homes and help. There’s something going on in the Spiritual realm that has the potential to explode this ministry and the church family into new realms. The Light from this Lighthouse will shine brighter, the praises won’t stay within the 4 walls but will fill the air of these mountains. Prayers will be fervent. This family will be in unity and one accord as we pray and intercede for what is ahead.
 
“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” Ephesians 3:20-21
For this time this ministry was born. This is a time like no other in our life time and this is the time for us to shine in Him. This month marks 28 years of Pastoring Mtn High! We’ve been ministering for 40 years. The words, prophecies, declarations, visions, dreams that have been spoken are about to come to pass. This time of assembling together will bring so much hope and freedom to everyone. Bondages, chains will be broken. Marriages healed in the Name of Jesus. Sickness GONE! It won’t be ale to continue in the anointing of His Presence.
These trees will be clapping their hands and proclaiming His goodness from the top of this hill. People will be saved, filled with the Holy Spirit. Children healed! Finances won’t bow to the world’s standards. Children will be filled with the spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues and prophesying to the adults!!
Ministries will be birthed. Many people will be able to leave behind the fears of this world’s situations and stand up! Stand strong! Stand firm in Him! People driving by will pull in just to see what is happening.
For those that can be here it will be vital you make the time and choice to come. Many distractions will come to keep folks from coming. Each will have to choose this day who they will serve – Jesus or distractions! This ministry is not a drop in the bucket that the enemy is ignoring!
Wow! It was so powerful as I was hearing the Lord say one thing after another. But the biggest thing He was giving me was that I couldn’t be so involved with the details and tasks of this conference. My number one position is to be praying and interceding. So, I have been the last few days. As I clean and work at the church, I’m praying for every person that will sit at a table to eat, sit in a chair to hear a message, walk through the doors of this Lighthouse. It’s been an amazing peaceful time. The enemy keeps trying to tell me Mom is going to be sick or something is going to happen out of my control.  I let the enemy know it is all out of my control and in the hands of Jesus.
“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me, ”Says the Lord.” Isaiah 54:17
I love this verse. No weapon formed will prosper!! This is our heritage!
 
“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16
 
Let us come together boldly this week as we pray. The power of agreement is powerful! Every time we release our prayers, every time we agree, more is happening in the Spirit. As we proclaim His Word, speak His Truth boldly or command that His Kingdom come, His will be done on earth as it is in heaven, we are releasing His power!
 
“The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” James 5:16
 
“Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 18:18
 
“Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:10
 
As we continue in prayer, praying in one accord, declaring His word, persevering in prayer, we are partnering with God.
 
“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. John 17:20-23
 
“Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.” 1 John 5:14-15
 
I am so excited for to come together declaring His victory over all the attacks that the enemy is using to try and stop us! He has been trying to fill my mind with fears that involve family that would stop me from ministering this week. I heard Dutch Sheets say this this week, “If your voice had no power, they wouldn’t try to stop you.”
 
Let’s stand firmly together and let no enemy stop us from going forward and proclaiming His love. Just continue to pray that no weapon can prosper. Pray for open hearts to receive. Pray those that are to be at this gathering will be here.
 
“And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.” Acts 4:31
