Dear Beloved, Destined and Highly Favored of Our LORD, JESUS CHRIST:
“May the Peace and Grace of GOD
be multiplied to you in the knowledge of JESUS, our LORD!“
“Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things.” -Hebrews 13:18
Dear Beloved of the LORD:
The Destiny Dome Embassy @ Cathedral of Praise, International is a New Covenant and Gospel of Grace Ministry. Grace is the Unmerited Favor of GOD available to us in CHRIST. However, at its core, Grace is the Person of CHRIST, Himself. Grace is also the Spirit of Honor. It is for that reason that although we have been given great and precious promises in CHRIST through His atoning work on Calvary, honor and dishonor are statements of faith or lack of it which decide to what extent those promises are manifested in our lives.
Our future is determined by who we have chosen to honor or chosen to dishonor. Our relationship with GOD is the code of honor that our gifts need in order to be effective in the Earth. It is through honor that GOD touches the hearts of those who He has given the authority to open doors into our Prophetic Future. Honor is a seed that will outlast a lifetime. Without honor, the Glory of GOD resting on our gifts cannot rise in the Earth and bring us before great men! Honor is the greatest seed that we can ever sow. Honor is the greatest seed because it is able to be sown dimensionally. We can sow Honor in our present and it will minister in and to our future. Where Honor is not present, as believers, we have no other choice than to dismiss ourselves.
Beloved, we must remember that honor is able to meet a plethora of needs at one time where it is able to be sown. In years such as 2014 in which we have access to seasons of Open Heavens and Open Doors of Opportunity, honor is crucial and non-negotiable. Beloved, we can confess the promises of GOD and pray concerning their manifestation; however, it is our ability to honor that will decide whether or not GOD’S grace will give us the power to receive. Honor decides if blessings can be released in our lives. Beloved, the fullness of GOD is available to us in 2014. Let’s not forget to honor and watch honor do the impossible in our lives and destinies.
Because of Grace, Victory 2014!

“May the Peace and Grace of GOD

“Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,” -Phil 3:13
Dear Beloved of the LORD:
What does walking in the New Covenant of Grace require when GOD makes it plain that He is not in an old move that was part of an old season of purpose? His Grace lifts and beckons us to let go of what He is finished with and prepare to move on into the next dimension of destiny. Grace is received by faith. New seasons of purpose and destiny require that we learn to forget what is behind us and press on forward to lay hold of what is ahead.
Beloved, letting go doesn’t mean that we’re losing something. Letting go is often GOD telling us that our future is very bright. It’s His way of reminding us that there are deposits of greatness in each of us, so we can decree it and set ourselves in agreement that something extraordinary and big is on the way. Grace is trusting GOD’S declaration of His Unmerited Favor in our lives. Holding on to what GOD has let go of will cause us to miss the deeper dimensions of the good that He has ordained for us in the days, weeks, months, and years ahead.
Every moment of every day is a moment of decision that requires us to discern the things that we have allowed to remain in our lives beyond their allotted time. Every day, we and we, alone, will have to decide whether or not it is more important for those things to remain, or is it more important to let go so that GOD’S Great Grace and Unmerited Favor can work GOD’S incredible plan for our lives without being hindered. This is the protocol by which we are able to advance into the deeper dimensions of destiny, not so much for us, but for GOD’S Glory and the advancement of His Kingdom on Earth.

“After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before.”- Job 42: 10
Dear Beloved of the LORD:
Forgiveness is a powerful thing! Forgiveness is a necessary thing! Forgiveness is a good thing! Forgiveness is a Kingdom thing! Forgiveness is a GOD-thing! Beloved, our gifts have begun to rise in the Earth. Un-forgiveness is a hindrance to the rising of our gifts and our advancement into the next season of purpose and dimension of destiny. There is no need for us to hesitate to forgive, regardless of what was done to us. GOD’S grace has worked wonders in our lives and is poised to do the impossible in our future. We must forgive and desire the best for everyone.
As with the restoration of Job, our true advance into the deeper dimensions of destiny is preceded by our forgiveness of those who have offended and hurt us. GOD’S Grace (Unmerited Favor), through the Blood of JESUS, has forgiven us of all our sin debt. We must now at this crucial destiny-crossroad, allow His grace to flow in us and through us as we forgive others and desire nothing but GOD’S best concerning them. Job’s gifts had come to a standstill during his time of turmoil, in large part because he was in a battle with bitterness and un-forgiveness. Once he forgave, his gifts once again were free to produce the blessed life that GOD had ordained for him from the beginning. The same is true for us as New Covenant believers. It is time for us to do what Job did –forgive and let GOD release us into the blessings and Kingdom influence that are waiting in our future and new dimensions of destiny.

Dear Beloved, Destined and Highly Favored of Our LORD, JESUS CHRIST:
“May the Peace and Grace of GOD be multiplied to you in the knowledge of JESUS, our LORD! “
"By wisdom the heavens were made”- Psalms 136:5
Beloved, our gifts are precious to GOD and needed by humanity. 2014 is a crucial year for our gifts and therefore, it is also a crucial year for us to embrace and submit to the Wisdom of GOD as never before. Wisdom is the ability to correctly apply knowledge. Our gifts need GOD’S knowledge in order to fulfill the assignment for which they were given to us.
Our gifts and callings are too great to be handled without the Wisdom of GOD. The wisdom of the world cannot cause our gifts to be effective. We must totally depend on GOD. His wisdom is greater than knowledge. To have knowledge means that we possess certain facts. We can have knowledge and not know how to apply it. GOD’S wisdom gives us the ability to apply what we know and what we know how to do, at the right times, in the right ways, so that we can receive strategies, insight, understanding and direction that our gifts need in order to work at maximum capacity and effectiveness.
In closing, Beloved, the Bible says in Proverbs 2:6: “For the LORD gives wisdom, from His mouth comes knowledge and understanding; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright, He is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and preserving the way of His saints.” We need to give the Wisdom of GOD free course this year so that it can change our perspectives and expectations concerning our present and our future. The Wisdom of GOD attracts favor to our lives in unimaginable and supernatural ways. Let’s move boldly and confidently with humility into the depths of our Season and Year of Victory in 2014, seeing the Wisdom of GOD empower our gifts so that we can fulfill the purpose for which they were given and the purpose for which we were created!
Because of Grace, Victory 2014!
