DAY 52 TDJAKES PECKING ORDER & DIRECTIONS

WTAL - 52 Days of Pecking Orders - Day 52

We’ve reached the final day of The 52 Days of Pecking Orders, but don’t stop! Don’t turn back! Your POSITION has changed! You’ve been EXPOSED to things you’ve never seen! You’re more COURAGEOUS than you’ve ever been! You have new KNOWLEDGE to help in the days ahead! Now that you have all this, this is not the time to kick up your feet and relax. Go forth 

and possess all that God has for you. Fulfill His purpose for your life and watch Him take you to an even greater level!
And, I want to hear from you! Post your experiences below, and let me know how your life has changed during these 52 days!

Now, let’s end these 52 days in prayer…

Lord, we thank you for what you’ve done during these 52 days, and we ask you to continue guiding us to greater heights in you. Use us to accomplish your will in the earth. We ask that you continue speaking to our hearts as we go further, knowing we can do nothing apart from you. With you as our support and our Leader, we will keep carrying out our PECKING ORDERS!

In Your Name we pray,
Amen!

At Woman Thou Art Loosed,  T.D. Jakes a message titled “The Pecking Order”. If you missed it, get your hands on a copy or download the MP3 from our site. During the conference God also moved me to share one of his breakthrough scriptures --

 Luke 2:52 "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man."

For the next 52 Days, beginning today we’re going to meet in the Spirit via social media. I’m going to be giving you “Pecking Orders” to help unlock FAVOR and POTENTIAL in your life and coach you into your destiny. Some of these orders will be spiritual...others will be natural, concerning issues like credit, debt, and leadership.

Bishop is challenging us to have 52 days of undistracted devotion with God. Get up early and give God the first fruits of your day. Have private devotion time. Meditate over Luke 2:52 and pray “Lord, Make me increase in wisdom and stature and favor…” Then, read your pecking orders for the day and believe God for a shift in your life. I want to pray for you as we embark on this journey!

Pecking order - giving of order & structure! 

God wants to bring your life into order. There's discomfort when there's no order. 

Sometimes order takes times! 

People don't have to see it in you in order for you to be it! If I can see it, I can be it! Whatever you put your energies into, YOU ENERGIZE! If you don't want your history to be energized, don't put your energies into it! 

It won't take you as long to step into what God has for you as it did for you to wander in the wilderness! THIS IS MY SEASON!!!! I am standing on the cusp of God's promise!!! 

The Book of Joshua is not for people who are weak! Moses was dead! A new leader takes over! Joshua was a warrior, a fighter & possessor of the promises of God!!! God told Joshua, "Stop the crying, dry your face! It's time to crossover!" 

I CRIED MY LAST TEAR YESTERDAY!!! 

I GOT SOME PRESS DOWN IN ME!!!

Joshua could fight! He drew his sword when God came to him in Jericho! He told him that he would not win this battle with your sword, you will win this battle with strategy! This is SPIRITUAL! Put down your old weaponry! You are wiser now! 

The river parted when Joshua stepped into it! That's blind faith! The first city belongs to God, COMPLETELY! Pecking orders! (Matthew 6:33) God is FIRST! God gave him the strategy! There is a divine strategy for everything in your life!! The strategy may sound crazy, but it's what God says to do!!! Until you have endured days of nothingness, you are not worthy to possess what God promises you! He weeds out the weak hens that don't have the faith, who will not obey, who will not submit, who don't know how to follow instructions, etc!!! He wants to reward you for your obedience! 

Why did he send spies? God wants you to see a vision of the promise so that you will be encouraged to keep walking in obedience no matter how tired, lonely, hungry, crazy, etc you feel! 

In the city of Jericho, there was a woman that God had allowed to be there for such a time as this! There's nothing like being in the right place @ the right time! Wherever God guides, God provides!!! Your whole attitude & disposition has CHANGED!! Nothing that you've suffered has convinced you to go back to being who you used to be!!! You have been CHOSEN!!! 

Some of you have become a house for greatness to be protected! 

1. The Positioning - Rahab's house was positioned on the WALL! God used your storms to POSITION YOU in a STRATEGIC PLACE at a STRATEGIC TIME! You are in the right place @ the right time to do what God has placed in you to do! People you thought would never walk out on you have walked out on you!!! God used your haters to position you for divine purpose! The harlot's house was on the wall! Fall in love with nothing! Lord, at this season in my life, whatever, whoever, wherever you want in my life, I want to be there!!! God is positioning you! Press out of your comfort zone so that the miracle can happen!!! God didn't put you on your job to make money! You are in your neighborhood for a purpose! You are about to cross over!!! 

2. The Exposure - why did Joshua send the spies?! you cannot expect your children to be excited about what you're excited about if you don't expose them to what you see! God is EXPOSING YOU to what's next in your life!!! The greater your exposure the broader your exposure! Joshua couldn't work w/ people who have not been exposed to what he's been exposed to! You can't get what I got if you don't see what I see! He's exposing you out of your comfort zone! He's let you see too much to let you go back to what you were!!! The fact that he's exposed you to it is a sign that it's yours! Once you are exposed, you won't fit in with the people you used to fit in with! God is stirring up hatred in them so that YOU DON'T STAY THERE!!! You get it your spirit before you get it in your life!!! What you are feeling in your belly is a preview of what God is about to do in your life!

3. The COURAGE - Rahab had courage, great courage! She had the courage to withstand the King of Jericho at the risk of losing her life! Do you have the courage to act outwardly on what you see inwardly!? The strong hen rules the roost! It takes courage to be successful! Success breeds contempt! It takes courage to be different! It takes courage to go where you've never been before! People don't talk about people who don't win! Do you have the courage!? It takes courage to be exceptional, wise, rich, educated, transformed! I didn't come through all of this to FIT IN AND GIVE UP ON GOD's PROMISE!!! Enemy, past, illness, bondage - I AM NOT SCARED OF YOU!!!!! 

4. The KNOWLEDGE - you must have knowledge beyond your parameters! How did this harlot have knowledge of international affairs? Your knowledge must go beyond your situation! Read things you've never read before & going places you've never been do that when God puts you in position, YOU ARE READY! You need to be reading like a pregnant woman eats! You are pregnant with a destiny in God! I AM READY LORD!!!

Position me Lord so You can use me!

Expose me Lord! Open the door for me!

Lord, I have the courage because of all the things that You've brought me through! 

Lord, You have given me knowledge to grow in You!!! 

You are looking at people you know like "what happened to them?" Nothing happened to them, SOMETHING HAPPENED TO YOU!

There is power in the beak! If an embryo chick is born without a beak, it will not be able to break out of the egg! The egg is the world that the chick lives in. As it grows, it becomes uncomfortable because it has outgrown its world. The provision has become a PRISON & the chick wants out!I GOTTA GET OUT!! 

Rahab escaped by faith & works! That's how she got out! WORK YOUR FAITH!!!! Your faith is YOUR BEAK!!!! 

You're going to take your position, exposure, courage, knowledge & PECK your way out!!!! 

Positioning

Exposure

Courage

Knowledge 

PECK PECK PECK PECK!!!!!!!!!! 

Joshua declared an order saying "BRING THE WOMAN OUT"!!! She was positioned, exposed, had courage & knowledge! A divine decree that her & all that she had be brought out!! She HAD TO COME OUT! You've got to come out! You have been ORDERED to come out!!! You will not GO BACK TO WHAT YOU USED TO DO!!! 

Whatsoever you bind on earth, hath been bound in heaven. Whatsoever you loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven!!! YOU ARE LOOSED IN HEAVEN!! YOU ARE HEALED IN HEAVEN!! YOU HAVE JOY IN HEAVEN!!! 

Rahab spent the rest of her life in Israel! What she started out talking about, she ended up living in!!! The order has been signed, your witness is in heaven, you have been loosed in heaven, the property is yours in heaven!! 

You can tell a fertilized egg by the spot of blood when it's cracked open. Jesus is the BLOOD! You are not just an egg, you are a FERTILIZED EGG! There are some things you have to peck out!! When you get out, you will be a pecking woman like you've never seen before!!! You will peck so strong that anything near you will not be burnt, destroyed, killed! You are a STRONG CHICK!

LUKE 2:52

52Jesus( CHANGE TO YOUR NAME)  grew in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and all the people. NLT

Rebuild What is Broken

My Princess Warrior,

Don't be overwhelmed by the brokenness you see all around you. I will give you a heart to look to the future with hope and the tools to restore and rebuild what is broken. I am the same God who gave Nehemiah the strength and favor to rebuild the broken walls of Jerusalem, and I will give you the power and strength to do the same.

All I am asking of you today is to begin a good work by laying one stone at a time. Rebuild broken hearts with words of hope. Rebuild broken relationships with forgiveness, grace, and love. Rebuild broken cities by serving the community. I will go before you and prepare the people for your good works.

Love,

Your King, the Master Builder

~

"But now I said to them, 'You know very well what trouble we are in. Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been destroyed by fire.
Let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem
and end this disgrace!'"
~Nehemiah 2:17~

Speak to Your Mountains

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“And Jesus answered them, Truly I say to you, if you have faith (a firm relying trust) and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea, it will be done.”

(Matthew 21:21, AMP)

TODAY’S WORD

We’ve all had seasons when the challenges of life feel overwhelming. During those times, it’s easy to be tempted to talk about how bad things are. Maybe you received a bad medical report, or maybe you’re facing a financial obstacle. But the more you talk about something, the bigger it becomes in your mind. Instead, you’ve got to dig your heels in and say, “No, I am not going to give life to that defeat. I am not going to speak sickness over myself. I’m not going to speak lack. I’m not going to speak fear. I’m choosing a different report. I believe the report of the Lord which says I am blessed. I am favored. I am prosperous. I am healthy. I am whole. I’m a victor, not a victim.” Remember, even if you don’t see how things could ever work out, God does. You’ve got to speak to those mountains in your life and declare favor over those situations. Instead of talking to God about how big your problems are, talk to your problems about how big your God is! As you speak to your mountains, they will be moved, and you will move forward into the victory God has prepared for you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word which is life to my spirit. I receive Your strength today and choose to speak to the mountains so I can move forward in the victory You have in store for me in Jesus’ name. Amen.

HOW CAN I BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS TODAY?

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE “...It is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35, NIV) TODAY’S WORD  So much of our culture is inward focused. People are conditioned to think, “What’s in it for me?” But the most rewarding way to live is not with the attitude, “How can I get blessed today?” No, if we are always self-focused wondering how we can benefit, that’s living with a shallow, temporary mentality. Instead of looking out only for your good, turn it around and say, “How can I be a blessing to others? Who can I inspire to rise higher? What seeds of greatness can I call forth out of someone?” Friend, that’s living at a higher level. Today, I encourage you to be on the lookout for ways to be a blessing to other people. It’s amazing how one word of encouragement can change the direction of a person’s life forever. When you reach out and speak faith over others, when you speak vision and cause others to rise higher, something supernatural happens to your own life. It won’t be long before you see yourself excelling and rising up higher when you live with an eternal perspective! A PRAYER FOR TODAY Father, help me to live with an eternal perspective. Help me to stay focused on meeting the needs of others. Let me be Your hands and feet, let me be Your mouthpiece and bring You glory in everything I do in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Push People Up

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE “Two are better than one...if either of them falls down, one can help the other up...” (Ecclesiastes 4:9–10, NIV) TODAY’S WORD  We all need somebody to believe in us more than we believe in ourselves. We all need people who will push us up, so to speak. After all, there are enough people trying to push us down in life. There are enough people telling us what we can’t become and how we don’t have what it takes. I know in my own life, I wouldn’t be half of who I am if it weren't for the people who surround me that build my life up. They speak so much faith into me  and push out the potential on the inside. I believe we all have the responsibility to do this for others. Let’s push people up. Let’s look with our eyes of faith and see their potential and tell them what they can become. If you will be that person for somebody else, God will make sure somebody will be that person for you. Friend, every person has seeds of greatness inside. You can cause your children to rise to a new level. You can be the catalyst for your family to do things they never thought possible. Your words have creative power. When you speak vision, that can be the seed God uses to thrust them to a new level. A PRAYER FOR TODAY Father, today I commit to push people up. I choose to speak life and call forth the seeds of greatness within. Thank You for using me to help others fulfill their destiny in Jesus’ name. Amen.

"It seems God is limited by our prayer life - that He can do nothing for humanity unless someone asks Him"  (John Wesley)

Call Out Seeds of Greatness

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE “...God...calls those things which do not exist as though they did.” (Romans 4:17, NKJV) TODAY’S WORD  Very often, we see potential in other people that they can’t see in themselves. When you speak vision into them, when you tell them what they can become, you can help set the direction for their life. Your words have the power to push people into their divine destiny. I believe that the reason some people are not living at their full potential is because no one has ever spoken faith into them. No one has taken the time to say, “Hey, you’re great at this. You’ve got a gift here. You’re going to do something amazing.” I believe that one of our assignments in life is to call out the seeds of greatness in other people. Look around at who God has placed in your life. They’re not there by accident. Take time to study them. See what they’re good at. What are their gifts? What do they excel at? Don’t just think about it, speak vision into them. Tell them what they can become. Let your encouragement ignite the greatness on the inside. Help them rise up in confidence so they can be all God has called them to be! A PRAYER FOR TODAY Father, thank You for the people You’ve placed in my life. I choose to be faithful, to speak life and call forth the greatness in them. Thank You for bringing me to new levels as I help others rise higher, too, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Go Further, Dream Bigger

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13, NKJV) TODAY’S WORD  Today, I want to remind you of what God says about you. No matter what’s happening in your life today, remember: you are not limited by your resources, your family or your background. Almighty God has equipped and empowered you. He has given you creativity, ideas, inventions, skills and talents. Don’t you dare settle for a mediocre life! Today, I call forth the seeds of greatness inside of you. Today, I declare that your best days are ahead. That you are going to go further than anyone in your family ever did; that you are going to dream bigger and live higher. I declare that you are a leader, an influencer, a minister of reconciliation. You are the fragrance of God to the nations. Before anyone put a curse on you, God Almighty put a blessing on you. Walk and live in that blessing by following His commands and staying fully committed to Him in everything you do! A PRAYER FOR TODAY Father, thank You for blessing me and calling me according to Your purposes. I receive Your Word which is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. I will hide Your truth in my heart that I might not sin against You n Jesus’ name. Amen.

Speak Vision

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” (Proverbs 18:21, NIV) TODAY’S WORD  Every word you speak matters. Something you say may seem insignificant to you, but to someone else those words can be life changing. When you use your words to lift someone’s spirit and speak words of vision and life over them, you are depositing seeds that will last throughout eternity.  It's especially important to speak vision into our children. As a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, teacher or friend, the children in your life need to hear on a regular basis that they can do something great with their lives. As parents, our words carry incredible weight. That’s why you should never put a child down. Don’t ever say, “You’re slow, clumsy or dumb. Why can’t you make good grades like your sister? Why can’t you hit the baseball like your cousin?” Those words are seeds. They can take root and affect that child many years later. Too many people have been crippled by low expectations. But today, all of that can change. Today, you can start to speak vision over yourself and over the people in your life. Today, you can call out the seeds of greatness in others and stir up the gift of God inside. Today, speak life, speak hope and speak vision! A PRAYER FOR TODAY Father, today I choose to speak life. I choose to speak hope. I choose to speak vision. Let me see the people in my life the way You see them. Let me see the potential You have placed in them so that I can call forth their seeds of greatness in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Hear My Voice

Hear My Voice

My Princess,

I am never too busy

 for you and long to 

be closer to you, 

My beloved. If you

 will turn off the things

 around you that drown Me out of your daily life,

 you will begin to hear Me in your spirit. 

When you don't know where to go, 

you will hear Me give you divine direction. 

When you are in need of a friend, you will 

hear Me whisper, "I am here." When you need

 comfort, you will hear Me call to you, "Come to Me."

Don't let your agenda distract you from

 time with Me. Quiet your spirit and know

 that I am your heavenly Father and you

 are My precious daughter. I love when you

 crave time to be still with Me.

Love,
Your King and the Voice of heaven

"My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me."

~John 10:27 NIV~

Give GOD Your Plans

My Princess,

I know you have an idea in your head

 on how everything should unfold in your 

life. Even today you have an agenda. 

Because I love you, I need you to give Me

 back all your plans for today and for all 

your tomorrows.

If you let Me have your day, 

I can then intervene with something special. 

My intervention will give you more joy in 

your journey than your good intentions.

 I know all that your heart longs for, 

and I want to do more for you than you 

could ever do for yourself. So give Me a 

chance to change your agenda from 

ordinary to extraordinary, because that's
the kind of life I've destined you to live, My beloved.

Love,
Your King and your Life Planner

"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed."

~Proverbs 16:3, NIV~

But God!

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE “O LORD, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me! ...But you are a shield around me, O LORD; you bestow glory on me and lift up my head.” (Psalm 3:1–3, NIV) TODAY’S WORD  When David wrote this verse, He was in a very difficult situation. He was actually running for his life from his very own son who wanted to kill him and take over the throne. Can you imagine?! David was probably feeling overwhelmed, distraught, heartbroken, betrayed and abandoned. Have you ever felt that way? But notice that David didn’t just tell the Lord all about his problems. He told the Lord about his faith when he said, “But You, God, are a shield around me...” David made the choice to focus on God’s goodness no matter what. We have to remember, circumstances may be tough, but God is working behind the scenes on your behalf. You may have a difficult relationship, but God is your Restorer today. You may have an overwhelming need, but God is your Provider today! The doctors may have told you that you have an incurable disease, but God is your Healer today! Things may look impossible today, BUT WITH GOD, all things are possible! If you’ll keep that constant attitude of faith and victory, you’ll see the hand of God move in your life, and you will experience the life of victory He has in store for you! A PRAYER FOR TODAY Father, thank You for always being faithful and working in my life. Today I open my heart to You and choose to focus on You instead of my circumstances. I know that with You, all things are possible in Jesus’ name. Amen.
