Prophetic Word: New Mantles of Intercession

By 25 Comments

Prophetic Word: New Mantles of IntercessionI heard the Lord say, “I am giving out new mantles of intercession!”

In this season, many who have felt their intercessory fires die out because of fatigue, burnout, and injury will find themselves suddenly pulled back into fiery intercession–the likes of which they had feared were lost to them.

These intercessors will be surprised when these new mantles of intercession come, for they will be at higher levels than each intercessor has experienced before. For example, whereas previously an intercessor was anointed to pray for a church, now they will be anointed to pray with burden for a nation.

Some intercessors who have previously had keen insight will find their insight renewed and sharpened. Others who struggled with a lack of insight before will suddenly have the insight they need. It will be a gift from the Lord. [Read more…] about Prophetic Word: New Mantles of Intercession

When Life Slaps You In the Face, God Is Your Strong Tower

By 24 Comments

When Life Slaps You In the Face, God Is Your Strong Tower | by Jamie Rohrbaugh | FromHisPresence.comDear friend who has been slapped in the face by life,

I know how you feel.

At various times in my life, I have known what it’s like to hurt so badly you can barely breathe. I know what it’s like to try to keep your mask on while you’re on the elevator so you don’t humiliate yourself, but then you sob uncontrollably as soon as you get to your desk.

I know what it’s like to be unable to sleep, so you go to a different room and lay on the floor and curl up in a ball and wail and keen to the Lord because words will not come.

I know what it’s like for the only thing you feel to be the awareness of pain.

I know the pain of betrayal, the pain of feeling alone, the pain of injustice. I know what it’s like to feel helpless. [Read more…] about When Life Slaps You In the Face, God Is Your Strong Tower

5 Prayers To Increase God’s Glory On Your Prayer Life

By 76 Comments

Want to increase God's glory on your prayer life? Pray these 5 prayers! Read this blog post for details. By Jamie Rohrbaugh | FromHisPresence.comDo you struggle with prayer? If so, today’s post is for you. It’s going to give you the keys you need for GOD to turn your prayer life into a supernaturally-anointed flow of power encounters with Him and His glory.

Here’s the backstory:

When I first got saved, I could not pray. I just could not tolerate prayer. I had no appetite for it, no inspiration for it, and no supernatural flow in prayer. Even trying to pray was difficult; it felt like very hard work.

But I wanted to know God better. I was so hungry for Him, and I wanted to be intimate with Him.

  • I wanted to pour out my heart to Him and hear Him talk back to me.
  • I wanted to be His friend and have Him tell me His secrets.
  • I wanted romance and intimacy with the Lord.
  • I wanted to carry weight in Heaven.

I knew prayer was a huge key to that kind of relationship, but I could not pray. So in my desperation and from the desire of my heart, I cried out to the Lord for help. And He answered. (Isn’t it amazing how God helps us in our weakness?) 🙂

God heard my cry. He began to teach me how to pray. Seemingly out of nowhere, I started encountering God in prayer.

As I asked the Lord to teach me to pray, I started having an actual desire to pray. (Shocking, I know.) 😉 So I’d sit down with God, and all of a sudden words would just pour out of my heart to Him. (Usually silently, but God hears silent prayer.) 🙂

And all of a sudden, things worked. Prayer flowed. It was for very short periods at first, but it still started working! I was amazed. [Read more…] about 5 Prayers To Increase God’s Glory On Your Prayer Life

Encouraging Word: You Don’t Think You Deserve Enough

By 26 Comments

You Don't Think You Deserve Enough | by Jamie Rohrbaugh | FromHisPresence.comHave you been struggling with financial lack, beloved? If so, I have an encouraging word for you today.

The Lord just woke me up with this word. Here is what He told me to tell you:

“You’ve been struggling with financial lack because your mindset isn’t healed yet. You don’t think you deserve enough.

Don’t worry, though; I am teaching you. My name is Teacher, and I can renew your mind if you cooperate with me.

Precious son, beloved daughter, it is my will for you to govern on the earth. This must happen in order for the Kingdom of Heaven to be manifest in every sphere of society. And in order for you to govern, I need you to submit to My wealth.

I need you to submit to My wealth.

Yes, darling child: My wealth is a work of grace, just like forgiveness of sins is a work of grace. Receive it, knowing you don’t deserve it. Deserving anything was never a part of the equation. Deserving anything has never been a part of the equation.

So submit to my work of grace. Ask, and you shall receive. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and the door shall be opened unto you. For EVERYONE who asks receives, and EVERY CHILD who seeks finds, and every door that is knocked upon shall be opened for my children of grace and love (Matthew 7:7-8).

So where do you want to go? What do you want to do?

The buffet of My grace and love is open to you. Put a demand on My grace. It is this grace that opens My Kingdom of plenty to you.

Take your worthiness out of the equation, precious child. Allow Me to manifest My own government through you. Let Me use you as a vessel for My plenty, to release My goodness and My praise upon the earth.

You are My chosen vessel. In Me, and in Me alone, you live and move and have your being. Allow Me to manifest the fullness of who I am through you … and Who I Am is Plenty. Who I Am is Abundant. Who I Am is Sovereign.

It matters not what you deserve. All that matters is that you are in Me, and I Am in you.”

Does this word resonate with you? Have you been limiting God and thinking that you don’t deserve plenty? If so, let’s renew our minds today, shall we?

Prophetic Word: I Give You All Things To Enjoy

By 103 Comments

The Holy Spirit just interrupted my schedule a few moments ago when I felt Him wanting to reach out to you again today. So, I sat down at my computer and asked Him what He wanted you to know.

This is what He told me to pass on to you:

“Beloved daughter, beloved son, I have given you all things to enjoy.

This means that everything I have blessed you with, you may freely enjoy. I want you to enjoy my blessings. I want you to delight in the wonderful, godly, holy life that Jesus died to give you.

So cut yourself some slack. You have been working hard, and hard work is necessary. However, rest is necessary too. And this is a season in which I am pouring out more good and perfect gifts than ever before at any time in history, because your heart is right before me.

The windows of Heaven are open. I am keeping my promises, as I always have.

Many times in the past, you thought I was not keeping my promises–when actually My answer was “not yet.” It wasn’t time for many things then, but now is the time.  [Read more…] about Prophetic Word: I Give You All Things To Enjoy

Weeping May Endure For A Night, But Joy Comes In The Morning!

By 172 Comments

If you've been weeping, here's an encouraging letter for you. By Jamie Rohrbaugh | FromHisPresence.comDear reader who’s been crying,

I felt like the Lord wanted me to encourage you today. Because…

He saw you, the other day when you were so upset. Last night when you were crying. When you were hurt; when you were angry. He saw you. And He has not forgotten.

He sees the pain in your heart. He sees you right now. And He knows.

He knows what it’s like. He knows what it’s like to feel despised and rejected. He knows what it means to not have a single friend in the world. He knows what is hurting your heart right now.

And He cares.

You see, this thing that is happening to you is not God’s best for you. It’s not His will for you to mourn or grieve or be sad. It’s not His will for you to hurt, physically, emotionally, or mentally. He loves you, and He’s a good Father. He desires only the best for you in all things.

Finding Refuge Under the Shadow of God’s Wings

Finding Refuge Under the Shadow of God's Wings by Jamie Rohrbaugh | FromHisPresence.com

Do you feel unsafe, exposed to the world, unprotected, and in need of comfort today? If so, I have an encouraging word for you.

Some time ago, during my quiet time alone with God, the Holy Spirit gave me a mental picture (a vision) of what it looks like to be hidden under the shadow of God’s wings.

This mental picture encouraged me so much. Many times, I have gone back to that picture in my mind and just meditated on it. It’s beautiful, and so I wanted to share this vision with you today. I believe it will encourage you, too, as you pray and ask God to stabilize your emotions.

The vision was based on Psalm 91, verses 1, 2, and 4, which say:

Start-quoteHe who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust'” (Psalm 91:1-2).

and:

Start-quote“He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler” (Psalm 91:4).

The vision was this:

A Big Hug From Daddy God For YOU!

By 23 Comments

A-Big-Hug-From-Daddy-GodDo you need a big hug from your Daddy God today?

Maybe you’re sad. Maybe you’re lonely. Maybe you’re discouraged or depressed or struggling with rejection. Whatever the reason, you need a big, fat HUG.

You can have one. Yes, you, right now. How?

Because if you have made Jesus Christ the Boss of your life, your Abba Father lives inside you. It’s not just the Holy Spirit inside you. It’s actually Jesus AND the Holy Spirit AND the Father.

Yes, it’s true. I’ve heard people say that the Holy Spirit lives inside you, but Jesus and the Father do not. Fortunately for us, however, that is not Biblical. 🙂 How do I know?

Because in John 17, Jesus was praying for His disciples and for all those who would believe in Him in the future. In this passage, He actually stated outright that He lives in us. Check it out:

Start-quoteI do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.

And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me” (John 17:20-23, emphasis mine).

Jesus said He is in us, and the Father is in Him. That means if He is in us, the Father lives in us too.

Well! That puts a whole new perspective on things, doesn’t it? It’s not like our Father is simply seated on the throne in Heaven and is nowhere else. It’s not like Jesus is standing before the Father in Heaven and is nowhere else. No, they are both right here.

Your Abba Father, your Daddy God, your loving Papa, is in you right now.

He adores you. And no matter how badly you are hurting, He wants to make it better.

So do this to get your hug: [Read more…] about A Big Hug From Daddy God For YOU!

Has Hope Deferred Made Your Heart Sick?

By 30 Comments

Has Hope Deferred Made Your Heart Sick? Here's how to get your hope back. | by Jamie Rohrbaugh | FromHisPresence.comI couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me. I just wanted to hide.

Nothing was visibly going wrong. Everything seemed okay at work. Everything seemed okay in my friendships. And I wasn’t married yet, so I didn’t have any romantic relationships to worry about.

But I was moping around. Unmotivated, apathetic. I wanted to stay at home and hide all the time. If I had had access to one, I would have loved to have crawled into a cave and not come out.

I wanted to keep the world away. I couldn’t face anybody.

I don’t remember how long this went on. All I remember is how disengaged from life I felt. [Read more…] about Has Hope Deferred Made Your Heart Sick?

Prophetic Word: If Things Feel Dark and Hopeless

By 37 Comments

The Lord showed me this morning that, for many of you, things feel dark and hopeless. You have been going through a hard time, and you feel like you have had to claw your way through every day.

The thing is, this is not normal for you. It’s very unlike you, and you recognize it and don’t like it. But, things have been so difficult that it seems like even basic things–things like showering, eating, and getting out of bed–are a real accomplishment when they happen …

… and sometimes they don’t happen at all.

If this describes you, then this is the word the Lord gave me for you today:

“You have been going through the hardest time of your life–at least, the hardest time you can remember. The enemy has been telling you that you are depressed, and you’ve been severely tempted to believe it.

The thing is, you are not depressed–and you recognize that too. You are only stressed, but you’ve been confused because the enemy has been telling you that you are hopeless and depressed.

Here’s the key to getting out of it:

You have a sound mind.

Both this truth AND this confession are the key to overcoming what the enemy is trying to do to you in this hour.

Here’s what’s going on:
