altar touch your mouth so you will be able to boldly speak what He is
revealing through you.That He so transformed your heart that you
may see people through His eyes and you may come to fill what He is
feeling for them.That the prophetic words that will come out of your
mouth be with power and authority to transform lives and situations,
that the anointing that already is in you be incremented in great
measure, that the gifting, abilities, talents and skills that you have be
sharpened by Himself and then used to bring glory and honor to His
name; and that you be used as a powerful weapon in His mighty
hands and become a winner of souls and a natural expander of His
Glorious Kingdom wherever you go.
