2022 Corporate Fast:
The Keys to the Kingdom
Hey guys! It is with great expectation that we enter into our 21-day corporate fast from January 10-31. This fast has been called in response to the directional word the Lord has given for this ministry and those who wish to participate. The goal of this fast is to help us submit to the final round of winnowing and shearing that I believe God desires to do in us for this season to prepare us to steward the glory I believe He wishes to reveal in and through us. It is an act of obedience that will position us to walk out the three keys He has given us for this year--Discipline, Discipleship, and Development. It is my firm belief that as we walk this process out and give ourselves to the Lord through these three things, we will begin to look, think, and act more like Him! I believe submitting to this process will position us for the greater glory that will be revealed through us this year.
What to fast? Ask the Lord! Be obedient to whatever He requires. Pay attention. Whatever He asks us to sacrifice is probably a clue to what He wants to refine in us!
What to do? Take communion daily. Do it from a place of humility asking the Lord to show you any areas that need repentance and any people you might need to forgive. Walk through that process and then declare that the taking of communion is a remembrance of the covenant we have with God and that sozo (salvation, healing, and deliverance) are ours in Christ Jesus. Go to Galatians 5:16-24. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you which of the areas listed here that God wants to refine. Apply the same formula--confess, forgive others, ask for forgiveness, and then ask Holy Spirit to fill that space. Ask the Lord to highlight Scripture that speaks to that area of weakness and then, every time temptation comes, resist it and declare the Word in its place until the temptation passes. Practice this for the 21 days and watch how God transforms!!!
A prayer that will help: "Lord, I restrain my body, soul, and spirit under the control of the Holy Spirit. I restrain my mind, will, and emotions under the control of the Holy Spirit. I restrain my conscious, subconscious, and unconscious mind under the control of the Holy Spirit." In reciting this prayer, we are giving Him Lordship over every area of our being.
The fast that the Lord has called me to is a technology and entertainment fast so, I will not be on social media to interact with you all. I will however have either a prayer, Scripture or short word of encouragement posted here on the Joel 2 page each day of the fast. This is indeed an exciting time! There will be great glory as we allow Him to fully have His way!
Join me today at 4pm on my personal FB page for a live announcement about our Sunday Going Deeper classes that will begin soon!
Love and blessings to you all,
Pastor Paula Millsaps

Vision: To facilitate a strategic alliance between the five-fold ministry gifts to see God’s will done in our region.
Mission: To hear what God is saying through His prophetic voices, deliberate and weigh these words as a unified team of five-fold ministers, then form apostolic strategy for advancing the Kingdom in our region.
NOW OPEN TO ALL WHO WILL COME!!!
Join us as we invite prophetic voices from the region to share what they hear the Lord saying for us! Once the word is heard, particpants can ask questions and observe as seasoned fivefold ministers weigh the word by the Spirit and Scripture. The goal of the counsel will then be to pray into the message and ask the Lord to show us our responsibility in partnering with the word that has been released to see it brought into fulfillment in the earth. Take time to watch our first meeting of the year at the link provided below and join us at our next meeting on January 31 at 7pm by following the link below.

Missions Evangelism
In 2019, we stepped out into International Evangelism in partnership with Faith Harvest Guatemala. Our first trip was a huge success as many leaders and pastors were touched by the healing Presence of God!! Faith Harvest has developed an excellent aid program down there that is digging wells for water while discipling the people in the Gospel. It was an honor to partner with them in this great country where the people so obviously love God! We visited villages, prayed for the people, preached the Gospel, fed people, and took shoes and medicine where needed. We were also blessed to be allowed inside the prison in Chiquimula to preach the Gospel and pray for those in need.

In 2020, we traveled to multiple cities in Bolivia. We were greeted with open arms as we traveled to orphanages, womens' homes, and visited the government center in La Paz. God made the way for us and ushered us into meetings with those in the highest eschelons of government without any prior appointments. Our gifts simply made room for us as we prophesied Papa's heart to key leaders of this precious country. Our hearts ache to return as soon as the Lord allows.

It is our heart to go to India this year as we feel God beckoning us there to do a work among His Beloveds in that land.
