We are not praying the Lord’s Prayer the strongest way. Michael Massa moves it from the current whispered tones we use into bold proclamations, expressing it in ways you have never considered.
The Prayer is not first for repentance or devotions. It is a divine assignment for a warrior to extend God’s Kingdom in the 'garden' God gives you.
Jesus taught it to the disciples to advance His agenda, activate leadership, and generate His good pleasure in the people you love. Its focus and force are greater than the hushed breaths we currently use to express it. Michael challenges us to pray it with the strength Jesus intended.
Michael explodes our normal view. He discloses two secrets in it. The first is simple and encouraging. The second obliterates concepts we have held for centuries and transforms it into unimagined opportunities.
If you take up what he offers and pray this way, you will embark on a journey, which increases your confidence and clarity, places you under the Lord’s approval, and makes you a conduit for fresh love.
You may refuse what he writes, but you cannot forget what he says.
I am looking for the Lord to raise up a multitude of courageous followers to take up this call to be forged into a tribe of "Garden-Warrior-Priests.”
BREASTPLATE will be a new experience for you in declaring and confessing God's Word. I received the revelation of this kind of confession from a similar one that St. Patrick wrote. He was a great voice of the Lord to Ireland in the 5th century, and a powerful man of God, who moved in supernatural actions for years. His holy impact continued for centuries after his death.
He called this confession his "Lorica," or his breastplate. These confessions or statements were strongly faith-filled, and brave. They were one of the daily disciplines he used to step into the Lord's power. It was a part of the spiritual armor he moved in with a focused forcefulness, which became my inspiration and purpose for this book.
Confess these powerful statements from the Word of God, daily, and watch things change in your life.
How could one, who is just forging a sword, become a hero?
How could honoring your father, elevate you to a place of honor?
How would the Lord use an everyday circumstance to teach me?
Forged in Fire, The Longstreet, answers these questions. The Longstreet story is about family, love, war, and training. Mark, the main character, learns that in submitting to earthly pressures, that it is really God, His Father, using them to mature him and causing him to be elevated in life and in his position as a leader. God trains Him as He did Jeremiah—not with the potter and the clay, but with the fire and the sword. What if God’s plan for you was not to be a household item, but a weapon of war? Would you be ready … disciplined to fight?
As you read this book, may you see the Lord’s ways and submit to the processes of His hand upon you. May we all learn how to do that at much deeper levels.
—THE LONGSTREET—FAMILY AND FIGHTS, continues the saga of the well-known, highly honored Longstreet family. Their history is compelling as “family” is their firm foundation—whether it’s in love, war, and training—both in the physical arena of fighting and in the spiritual battle of following the Lord’s direction.
The main character, Mark, still faces struggles that are not only intense physical battles, but emotional and relational. As someone plots to kill him and his wife, he finds himself trapped … in the fight of his life. Unplanned and maybe even unprepared, Mark is severely injured. Now, he asks, “Will these injuries be permanent? Will I also lose my position in the Royal Blue Guard?”
Hopefully, through Mark’s emotional and physical battles, we will also learn the importance of submitting to the Lord’s ways—allowing us to mature to a place of inner peace and victory.
God solves problems by doing one primary thing. He sends someone who is standing before Him. How God Solves Problems is composed by a teacher, not an apostle. It is presented as an appeal to go back to the foundation of true apostolic roots. If we can come to a full recognition of the Lord’s ways in preparing and sending His workers, we will express more honor to Him and see greater fruit in the ministry efforts we make.
Few may know your name … but He does.
