In the Spiritual Closet, Winter is the last season of our lives. It is a time to rest in the Lord and hold fast to our profession in Christ Jesus. It is a time where we have anchored ourselves in the Lord, gripping to that solid rock, not being easily shaken in our faith. We have put on the Full Armor of God to be fully covered with that Spiritual Armor. It is a time of knowing that whatever battle we are confronted with in our lives, God is at the helm, and He is the Captain of the ship, “For the battle is not ours, but God’s” (2 Chronicles 20:15).
It is a time when we have gone through trials, but our past problems and circumstances have bought about present confidence. It is a time when we understand we did not make it on our own, but by staying in the Closet Of Prayer. We may not be able to run quickly physically, but our Spiritual pace has picked up. Therefore we are running that we may obtain Eternal life. We are moving slow, but staying in the Closet Of Prayer. It is a time we are ” Coming boldly unto the throne of grace that we may obtain Mercy, and find Grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).
So whatever the needs are in our lives, we have the confidence that God is going to work out every problem, and bring us through victoriously. “We will not cast away our confidence which have a great recompense of reward” (Hebrews 10:35).
We will stay in The Closet Of Prayer with unwavering faith. 1 John 5:14-15 says “And this is the confidence we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will he heareth us: And if we know that he heareth us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him”.
We will stay in The Closet Of Prayer with unwavering faith. So in the Winter of our lives, When we think of aging we usually think of coming to the end of our journey here on earth, but this journey never ends; it just takes on new directions.
2 Chronicles 20:15 And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; For the Battle is not yours, but God’s.
The year of 2020 has been a year that we have never experienced before, and are still experiencing. A Time which has affected all of us in one way or the other, whether by Death, Sickness, Unrest, Discouragement, Hopelessness, etc. but remember God said that He would Never Leave us nor forsake us even in these trying Times. It is A Time to rest in the Lord, and Hold Fast to our Profession in Christ Jesus. It is The Time to Anchor ourselves in the Lord, gripping to that solid rock, not being easily shaken in our Faith as We PRAY. A Time to Put on the Full Armor of God to be fully covered with that Spiritual Armor. It is A Time of knowing that whatever Battle we are confronted with in our lives, God Is At The Helm, and He is the Captain of the Ship. “For the Battle is not Ours; but God’s.”
It is A Time when we have gone through trials, but our past problems, and circumstances have bought about present confidence. It is A Time to realize that we didn’t make it this far on our own, but it was by the Grace of God, as we continued to stay In The Closet Of Prayer.
It is A Time to come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in Time of need. (Hebrews 4:16).
“LET US PRAY” I Love You. Mother Gentry
Joel 2:12 & 13 Therefore also now, saith the Lord, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning. and rend your heart, and not your garments and turn unto the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
Joel 2: 15-17 & 21 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children,……….Let the Priest, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord……,Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the Lord will do great things.
Matthew 24: 7-8 “For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and PESTILENCES, and earthquakes in divers places. All thee are the beginning of sorrow”. People losing their lives, and some don’t even know God. They have no money, no jobs. Morals are on the decline, with laws being passed contrary to the laws of God.
Yet There Is Hope In Jesus, And We Have The Remedy.
Let Us Continue To Pray, Fast, And Live Holy.
I LOVE YOU. Mother Gentry
I exhort therefore, that, first of all , 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, and peaceable life in all godliness, and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2: 1-4
“LET US CONTINUE TO PRAY”
The effectual fervent Prayer of a righteous man availeth much. James 5:16b

During the earlier part of the year my nephew was stricken with a Brain Bleed,( A massive Stroke), and was in an unconscious state. His situation looked Grim. He had a Feeding Tube in his stomach, Unable to Turn himself, Paralyzed, Unable to Eat, Speech Altered. His Mother (My Sister) is a Praying woman, but I felt that I wanted to go, and just put my hands on him, and Pray for him. I had my grandson to drive me approximately 400 miles Round trip directly to his bedside at the hospital, as I went in he was Bleeding from the stomach around the Feeding Tube through the linen which was on his bed, and as a nurse myself, and with the help of his mother I changed the dressing around his Feeding Tube, letting the nurses know. I Ministered, and prayed for him and the almost Two Hours or so that I was there I never sit down because I was on a Mission. We left the Hospital, and returned back home, My Mission was complete. The Doctors did not know the outcome. “BUT GOD”. Now he is out of the Hospital, Alert, Able To Walk, Able To Eat, And Talk. Approximately 3 weeks ago he went to Church for the First Time after the Brain Bleed, and was able to walk up about 8 steps into the Sanctuary by just holding onto the rail.
A Picture of Him Is on My Facebook Page dated 10-2-20, standing with his brother. “The Power Of Prayer”
God Is Still Performing Miracles In The Twenty First Century.
“LET US TO CONTINUE TO PRAY”
Lord I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee. Let my Prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. Set a watch, O Lord before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. Psalms 141: 1-3
But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord; in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute. Psalms 141:8
Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attent unto the Prayer that is made in this place. 2 Chronicles 6:40
Don’t Stop Praying, The Lord Is Nigh, Don’t Stop Praying He Will Hear Your Cry, The Lord Has Promised, And His Word Is True, Don’t Stop Praying, Because (In His Own Set Time) He Will Answer You.
“GOD IS FAITHFUL”
“I Will Continue To Pray”
James 5: 16 The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much
It takes the power of Prayer during this Coronavirus Pandemic to give us a little reviving in our bondage, for liberation to take place in those who are bruised, and need comforting, injured, and need to be restored, and wounded, and need to be mended. It takes the power of Prayer for the captive to be delivered, and those who are bound by satanic forces to be set free. It takes the power of Prayer for the brokenhearted to be healed, and to help the ones who have been overcome or plagued with grief, and despair. It takes the power of Prayer for the blind to recover sight (to regain what was lost). Whether physically blind, or having lost direction by being disconnected from God.
“Let Us Continue To Pray”
Prayer Of Intercession Is Standing In The Gap, With Love, Being On Our Knees, And Interrupt The Process Of Satan.
When I Intercede for others, I sometimes imagine myself, or my children in the same situation, then I begin to Travail in Prayer for that person, or persons, pleading on their behalf (Standing In The Gap).
And I sought for a man among them that should make up the hedge, and STAND IN THE GAP before me FOR THE LAND, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. Ezekiel 22:30)
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, HERE AM I ; SEND ME (Isaiah 6:8)
We as Saints of God are to Stand In The Gap, and Intercede for our Land, and, Someone Else. Once we have been converted, we are to strengthen our brothers, and help bear the infirmities of those who are weak, those who are Weak in Faith, Burdened and Discouraged from the complexities of life. We can travail Fervently, Consistently, and with an Insistent Prayer until a Breakthrough takes place in their lives.
Sometimes we may have to make sacrifices to answer the call of God, but the Blessings are greater than the sacrifices when we are obedient to God.
The greatest Intercessor was Jesus as He was on the Cross for the sins of the world, He Prayed “Father, Forgive Them, For They Know Not What They Do.” He was ridiculed, spat upon, mocked, and beaten, and He suffered, and died that we may live. He is now at the right hand of the Father making Intercession for the Saints, pleading our cause to the Heavenly Father.
We also recognize the Power of Intercessory Prayer when Peter, one of Christ Disciples, was in jail. The church was Praying Collectively to God without ceasing for Peter. While they were Praying the Lord Dispatched an Angel where Peter was being held Captive, Loosed the Chains, and Delivered Peter out of Prison. Matthew 18:19 says, ” if any two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in Heaven”.
If we come in agreement in Prayer, the Lord will Dispatch an Angel, and Loose whatever Chains are keeping us Bound, and holding us Hostage. The Lord will Loose the Bondage of Discouragement, Distress, Fear, Depression, etc.
“LET US CONTINUE TO INTERCEED (PRAY) FOR THE LAND, AND OTHERS”
Matthew 6:6 But thou when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly
“PRAY WITH YOUR HEART TOWARD HEAVEN STEADFAST ON JESUS”
Romans 13:11, & 12 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is , and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
We are staying “In The Closet Of Prayer” with confidence that God is going to take us through these challenging time.
1 John 5:14 & 15And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will , he heareth us: 15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
We may be troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:8 & 9
AND we are not going to loose heart, or faint because in Proverbs 24:10 says if thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
