The Annual Pastors Challenge Golf Tournament

This golf tournament is designed to reunite church leadership and the church body in a fun and restorative manner while bridging Christian interdenominational boundaries. Our intention is to provide an opportunity for the church body to say thank you to their Pastor(s) through sponsoring a foursome. The goal is for each foursome to have at least one Pastor representing their particular church accompanied by members of the church body who may want to play golf with their Pastor(s) and enjoy relating to them in an entirely new setting.

MORE THAN CONQUERORS

I was sitting in the dentist chair having my crown work done on my teeth. Feeling a little anxious because of past dental experiences, I began to contemplate the fact that Romans 8:37 says I am more than a conqueror. All of a sudden the lights of revelation came on like a beacon in the night and I began to relax.

To conquer the enemy is one thing, but to be more than a conqueror is another! If you think about it, it is quite a radical statement. You see, we don’t just defeat the enemy, but take his territory away from him. In doing so, we begin to rule and reign in those areas that previously were in his control.

We are more than a conqueror by breaking through enemy lines and rescuing others from his grip! It is in this way that we don’t just overcome, but become overcomers. In the same way, we don’t just get breakthrough, but we become bondage breakers as we breakthrough for others!

Jesus Christ overcame and disarmed the powers of darkness through His death on the cross and resurrection. He triumphed over Satan and made a public spectacle of him! (Col. 2:15) The only power the enemy has over us is when he convinces us that this isn’t true. His power is in the lie. If he can get us to bite into this lie, then we will wind up living out our life as if we have been overcome instead of being the overcomer!

As an overcomer, we need to live in the fullness of the cross. Let me explain. All of us easily identify with the death of Christ and coming to Jesus for the forgiveness of our sins. But if we stop there, we will still miss the fullness of Calvary. We must also identify with the resurrection of Christ. That part of the cross is about our inheritance- being co-heirs with Christ, seated in Him at the right hand of the Father in heavenly places far above all rule and authority, power and dominion! This means living that ascended lifestyle right now, not waiting until we die to enjoy eternity. Here is a little clue, an inheritance starts when someone else dies, not when we die!

Nothing can separate us from God’s love and our inheritance that is in Christ Jesus! When we live in the fullness of Calvary, we stake a claim in the Promised Land of that inheritance by living above the circumstances that come our way- not underneath them. It means walking in victory day after day knowing we are more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ!

All of us here at Healing Wings Ministries bless you with outrageous joy as you celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus! We pray for an intentionality of heart, soul and spirit as you walk in the fullness of Calvary.

Celebrating With You,

Debbie Milligan and Robin D’Haillecourt

DAY TWENTY ONE: POWER OF A CORPORATE FAST

I have been very blessed sharing this twenty one day fast with you all. It has been a great journey of denying self and calling out to Jesus for breakthrough. I am grateful to have taken this journey with so many across the country and other parts of the world. We are family!

The last thing I want to leave you with is there is power in corporate prayer and fasting! This is because there is agreement and unity as we harmonize in prayer.

“Again I tell you, if two of you on earth agree [harmonize together make a symphony together] about whatever [anything and everything] they may ask, it will come to pass and be done for them by my Father in heaven” Matt 18:19 AMP

God is calling His Warrior Bride to fall into ranks with Him and come together in agreement for His purposes. It is time for us to take our place among God’s end time army. The issues that we face need prayer like never before! Prayer is where everything begins and ends! Every prayer led by the Spirit will touch the heart of God!

“If my people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.” 2 Chron. 7:14

Let us join hands as never before praying for our country and our president! That God would hear our prayers rising up in a great symphony to forgive our sin and heal our land!

From GOD TV on the day of the Inauguration:

Father, according to Timothy 2, Paul exhorted that “supplications, prayers, intercessions and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and for all that are in authority that we may lead a quiet peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior”. In obedience to Your Word, we join together this day, January 20 2009, with our GOD TV family all across the United States of America and join in one heart and one mind in prayer and intercession for our new incoming President Barack Obama. Father we ask this day that as Barack Obama is inaugurated here in Washington DC, that You would look down from Heaven and in Your great mercies upon America look down this day upon President Barack Obama and grant him exceeding wisdom in these crucial days ahead facing him and the new administration. Oh mighty Father we pray as a united body to You, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that You may grant to Barack Obama the spirit of wisdom and revelation of the knowledge of Yourself this day. That the eyes of President Obama’s understanding be enlightened that he may know what is the hope of his calling and the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of Your power toward us who believe and to himself, according to the working of Your mighty power which you wrought in Christ, when You raised Him from the dead.

Father we pray that the overshadowing fear of the Lord would start to rest upon this new administration. We pray for Your sovereign hand to guide the President and those in his cabinet. We release YOUR purposes, we release YOUR plan, we release YOUR strategies and YOUR wisdom, and we release YOUR governance. We pray for visitation in the President’s night hours and revelation in his waking hours, that as he enters the pressures and the challenges of office in 2009 that he would be driven to trust in You as his mighty fortress, that he would find refuge and wisdom under Your wings, that he would seek Your face before he seeks man’s wisdom and Father, that You would pour out word after word in season upon him from on high.

Father, grant President Barack Obama the courage to rule with justice and the wisdom to rule under God. And Father, as the body of Christ that we commit to You to lift him up faithfully and fervently. That we may consistently petition Heaven on Barack Obama’s behalf and petition President Barack Obama on YOUR behalf. Father, we also ask that You minister to him in the night hours regarding the issue of abortion that he may know Your heart and Your mind on these issues so important to Heaven. And finally we ask divine protection and blessing over his family and upon his physical life. Preserve his life from being cut off prematurely, Father preserve him from sinister schemes and the schemes of wicked men. Thank you that as President of the United States he will run the course that is laid out for him in this time and this season.

DAY TWENTY: FASTING ENABLES BREAKTHROUGH IN THE BATTLE

Sometimes the things we seek through prayer and fasting are quickly manifested and other times there is a delay that requires battling opposing forces. Daniel is a good example of this. We see in Daniel 9 that Daniel turned to the Lord in prayer and fasting. While still in prayer, the angel Gabriel said to him, “as soon as you began to pray, an answer was given…” This is a picture of a quick manifestation. However, in the next chapter we find Daniel again fasting and praying for 3 weeks. But this time, the angel says that even though his words were heard on the first day, the answer was held up by the Prince of Persia. Michael, the Archangel, was sent to help Gabriel breakthrough enemy lines because Daniel persisted in prayer and fasting until the revelation was released.

Fasting creates power that breaks through enemy lines! I’m sure that at some point in your life you have experienced an obstacle that was difficult to break through. Whether it was a habit, reoccurring sin, unforgiveness or a character flaw, you have tried and tried to change, but it seemed immovable. Or, maybe you have prayed and prayed for an answer to a problem you were facing only to come away from your prayer time with out any solution. According to Mahesh Chavda in his book, “The Hidden Power of Prayer and Fasting,” when you combine fasting with prayer it becomes like a “nuclear weapon in your spiritual arsenal!” He goes on to state, “Imagine that you’ve been using the hand grenades of prayer to move a massive mountain of unbelief, hindrances or demonic obstructions in your life and ministry. When you combine your prayers with fasting, you suddenly drop a hydrogen bomb on the mountain that is blocking your call and divine assignment. I’m not talking a slight difference. Fasting boosts the intensity and effectiveness of your prayer at least a tenfold and often a hundredfold!”

As we continue to fast these last few days, picture a “wrecking ball” demolishing that obstacle. Watch yourself pass through the other side in victory as an overcomer!

1 John 5:4- For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world- your faith.” (NKJV)

DAY NINETEEN: WALNUT AVOCADO FETTUCCINE

We are getting close to the end of these 21 days of fasting together.  I don’t know about you, but I certainly will be making some of these recipes again in the future! Who says eating healthy can’t be fun and tasty too?

Here is yet another recipe that I’m getting ready to try:

WALNUT AVOCADO FETTUCCINI

1- 12 oz. box of whole wheat penne, cooked per box instructions

4 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons chopped garlic, jar ok

1/4 cup lemon juice

10 whole sundried tomatoes in olive oil

1 cup green pepper, chopped

1 cup walnuts, chopped

2 whole avocadoes diced, save 1/2 avocado for garnish

1/2 cup green onion, chopped

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

• Start the water boiling for the fettuccine.

• In the meantime, in a large bowl place olive oil, garlic and lemon juice and whisk together.

• Then add remaining ingredients reserving 1/4 cup walnuts and 1/2 avocado for garnish.

• Stir with a spoon until everything is combined well…set aside and continue with cooking the fettuccine.

• After draining the noodles, add them to the olive oil mixture and toss well

• Serve on a platter, garnish with avocado slices and walnuts…

This dish may be served warm or at room temperature

Serves: 6

 

DAY EIGHTEEN: THE FIRE OF GOD’S PRESENCE

God is at work in our lives to enlarge the capacity of our soul to inhabit more of Him; burning, cleansing, purifying us with the fire of his presence. I love what John of the Cross says about this process: “He must create this holy place within us little by little. For in our poor and weakened condition we cannot stand to be enlarged by the coming of His presence all at once. If He were to come upon us in His fullness, the soul could not stand the explosive might of His great glory.”

 

We must allow the fire of God’s presence access to the inner chambers of our heart- the sweet flames of His love to consume us and possess us!

 

When King Solomon dedicated the Temple, the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed the sacrifice placed on the altar. Then the Lord “possessed” the Temple by filling it with His glory. (See 2 Chron. 7:1-3)

 

We are the temple of the living God. We are to host His presence! Take note of every issue in your heart that rises to the surface during your fast. With courage and boldness place it as a sacrifice upon the altar to be consumed by the fire of God’s presence. And then experience His glory filling you to the place where, like the Israelites, you can only fall on your face in worship and give thanks saying, “He is good; His love endures forever!”

DAY SEVENTEEN: CLEARING THE PIPELINE

As I have previously written, fasting is a great way to detoxify our system and give our bodies a break. It also serves to cleanse our spiritual system! We are in a sense, clearing the clutter and debris from the spiritual pipes that connect us with God.

 

There is so much in our fallen world that we come in contact with that contaminates our soul and spirit. Many years ago God gave me a picture of our spiritual system. It looks a lot like the pipelines in our plumbing. When those pipes have sludge, debris and tree roots, then the water is hindered from flowing through the plumbing system in the power that was intended. Water pressure is diminished and we have problems. Likewise, our spiritual pipelines need to be cleared of the sludge and debris.  When those pipes are clear, the power and presence of God not only fills us up, but also flows through our life to those around us.

 

Father we present our lives to you- covered in the filth of the world around us. Holy Spirit, clear out the sludge that weakens your flow into our lives. Jesus, as we touch those around us, we want to release your life within us with the same intentionality that you went to the cross with.  Amen!

DAY SIXTEEN: DANIEL FAST FRIENDLY PIZZA

I found this recipe on the internet and changed it slightly to better meet our needs. I typically do without cheese and yeast anyway, so I was thrilled to find a pizza crust recipe that I can use. It was quite delicious!

PIZZA

Pizza Sauce (recipe below)

Whole Grain Pizza Crust (recipe below)

1 whole zucchini, sliced

1/2 whole red bell pepper, chopped

5 whole sun‐dried tomatoes in olive oil

1/4 whole red onion, sliced

1 6 oz sliced fresh sliced mushrooms

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 375°

• Prepare pizza sauce and crust (recipes follow)

• Arrange your favorite vegetables on top and bake for 30

min. or until crust is crispy.

The vegetables suggested make a delicious pizza

Pizza Sauce

1 6 oz. can tomato paste

3 tablespoons minced garlic, jar ok

3 tablespoons Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon fennel seed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup water

1 pinch salt

Instructions:

• Mix all the ingredients together and let sit for 30 min.

This is a good time to make the Pizza crust.

Recipe Notes:

You can make this sauce and keep it in the refrigerator

for up to seven days.

Whole Grain Pizza Crust

2 cups whole grain, whole wheat flour (I used Spelt flour)

1/3 cup olive oil

1 cup water

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon fennel seed (I used Rosemary instead)

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon olive oil for pan

Instructions:

• Mix flour, salt and seasonings in a large bowl.

• Add oil and work into the flour well, until the oil and

flour are combined.

• As you are mixing the dough with your hands, slowly add

1 cup of water. This should form a well behaved dough.

• Knead until smooth.. If too dry add small amounts of

water(1 tablespoon at a time). If it is too sticky, add 1

tablespoon of flour at a time.

• Press into a greased cookie sheet to make one large

pizza or roll out into individual sized pizzas. You can use

a tortilla press to make small pizzas. Makes 6‐8

individual sized pizzas

Recipe Notes:

Be sure to add water a little at a time. For the Spelt flour, I used only half of the water! For best results bake on a pizza stone at 375°, until the crust is crispy. This takes about 30 minutes with toppings.

DAY FOURTEEN: FASTING FOR WISDOM AND INSIGHT

After Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego went through ten days of being testing to see how they would fare by eating only vegetables and drinking only water, they looked healthier than the others who ate from King Nebuchadnezzar’s table. Not only did they benefit physically, but mentally and spiritually as well. In Daniel 1:17 it says that God gave these four knowledge and understanding. In fact, when it came to wisdom and understanding, the king found them to be ten times better than all his magicians and astrologers. Knowledge is wonderful to have, but the wise application of knowledge is the definition for wisdom. These four had both!

Daniel was also given the ability to explain the deep mysteries of God. He could understand and interpret dreams. Dan 5:12 says, “Daniel was found to have a keen mind…able to solve difficult problems.”

Another one of the reasons we fast is for revelation, wisdom and spiritual insight. Determining the will of God for our life helps us solve difficult problems as well as make important decisions. These decisions can redirect our entire future and destiny.

According to Is. 58:8a, when we fast, God’s light breaks forth like the dawn! Just like the morning breaks into a new day, God gives us light that breaks into our thinking. Easton’s Bible Dictionary defines revelation like this: An uncovering, a bringing to light of that which had been previously wholly hidden or only obscurely seen. Revelation is the supernatural communication of truth to the mind.

Here’s a little “snack for thought”: Romans 12:1-2 is a well known passage of scripture. Have you ever considered that the “offering up our bodies as living sacrifices so that we will be able to prove [allow, discern, examine, approve, try] what God’s will is” could very well mean through fasting? Hmmm, very interesting…because when we fast, we sacrifice the needs and desires of our bodies by withholding food, sweets, pleasurable beverages, television as well as many other things.

Know without a doubt that as you fast you are accomplishing more than the physical eye can see. It is not in vain! Add to your prayer time the request for revelation and understanding for the truth of God’s Word. Ask that it would light up every room in your heart and blaze through your mind. Then ask for wisdom to apply this truth to your life!
