hi guys Jennifer LeClaire here senior leader The Awakening House of Prayer in
South Florida author of well you've read my books and editor of charisma magazine
I want to share with you the prophetic word for the month of September this is
something the Lord has spoken to my heart that is on his heart in this
season as you know these prophetic words don't expire per se but they're timely
these are things the Lord is speaking that are on his heart we'll be sharing
about this prophetic word all month long at the awakening House of Prayer you can
go to awakening House of Prayer calm you can email us find out how to get in on
those messages here's what the word is I want to read it to you and I want to
unpack it just a little bit the Lord says honor releases my blessing my
anointing and my great rewards I like how that starts he says many have sown
dishonor disrespect and discord and are seeing the fruit of unrighteousness in
their life now we don't like that too much it goes on from there they have not
understood or recognized the glory that comes from walking in honor the Lord
says you will see greater peace in your life when you honor my commands things
will go well with you when you so honor honor is the humble Road not just when
you give honor to whom honor is due but when you extend honor to those who have
used you abused you and worked to defile you with the words of their mouth and
the actions of their heart while you walk in when you walk in honor with all
men says God you will experience greater understanding of my kingdom principles
and you will unlock blessings that were once unseen and unknown to you choose
humility choose honor the Lord says I promise you it's worth it now that's a
good word I don't care where you're from honor honor is something that is so
lacking in the body of Christ today some ministries do it well some people do it
well many don't I travel all over the world I've received most of the time
with honor now and again I'll wind up in Jezebel's camp where they like to kill
prophets and and I'll be treated with mass dishonor I
learn that even in that time no matter how I am being treated I need to move in
order you know I was in Malaysia some years ago and I was greeted by some
folks who believe differently than I did and they were you know we wrestle not
against flesh and blood but they were a very hostile towards me they allowed me
to eat food with metal parcels in it they left me waiting in the airport when
I arrived for several hours not knowing if anyone was coming they they they left
me in hotel lobbies waiting for several hours for them to show up and they put
me in the back seat of a car wouldn't talk to me for two or three hour drives
just wouldn't speak to me I remember I was so upset and I told the Lord I'm
going home I'm getting on a plane and I'm going home I am NOT going to put up
with this and the Lord told me this he taught me the principle of Honor even
when I'm not being shown on earth he said if a man compels you to walk a mile
walk to and so I learned and to turn the other cheek you've read the Sermon on
the Mount and so he taught me that Sermon on the Mount lifestyle which is
it's about fasting giving and sowing but it's also about honor and so I began to
just be as nice as I could to just go out of my way to show them the love of
God would you know it that by the end of the trip they were giving me gifts they
were telling me you're not like other Americans see it wasn't so much that we
had different belief systems it was that they've been encountered by Americans
who were mean-spirited and so sometimes we get the wrong impression about why
people are treating us a certain way it could be but we remind them of somebody
else doesn't matter what matters is our response let me teach you a few things
about honor honor number one releases blessing in your
life here we see in Deuteronomy 5 and 16 this is the primary scripture if you
don't hear anything else I say today hear this honor your father and your
mother as the Lord your God commanded you that your days may be long and that
if they go well with you in the land the Lord your God is giving you now in the
New Testament it talks about it talks about this scripture the fifth
commandment it says it's the first commandment with the promise
it's a promise from God that when you honor your parents
we'll go well with you now by contrast you can flip the script and you can see
if you dishonor your parents it won't go well with you you know this weekend at
the inner healing and mass deliverance conference you can still watch at a Hopf
TV I spoke about Bitterroot judgments and expectations and many times these
bitter roots towards our parents happen when we're in childhood because of an
unmet expectations or you know for well I'll never act like my mother and then
of course we act just like our mother or our Father so we must honor our parents
we honor our parents by allowing them to speak into our life by obeying them by
as they grow older by serving them we must honor our parents when we so honor
we will reap honor will be so dishonor we will reap dishonor God shall not be
mocked whatever man shows that would he also reap and so we attract God's
blessings in our life we attract the ability to have a good life favored when
we honor our parents but it doesn't stop there there's a principle carries over
to every aspect of our spiritual life and if something God wants you to get
God wants you to walk in his favor and you might walk in a realm of his favor
but I guarantee you if you're sowing dishonor you are not walking in God's
highest is highest favour for your life first Timothy 5 and 17 let me elders who
rule well be considered worthy of double honor especially those who labor among
you with teaching and preaching I believe we need to honor our spiritual
mothers our spiritual fathers I believe we need to honor our pastors the elders
in the church I believe we need to show double honor why because they're laying
down their lives for the gospel you know even if you're under a spiritual abusive
leader you still need it so honor you know David showed honor to Saul Saul
tried to kill him Saul through javelins at him and he
still when he had the opportunity would not dishonor Saul he had the opportunity
to kill Saul wouldn't do it he cut the corner off of Sol's rope and
he felt so badly that he'd done that he continued to honor saw and then when
Saul died he didn't dance a jig and rejoice he was humble he was humble
humility and honor go hand in hand we must honor we must honor but it goes
further than that listen to this Romans 13 and 7
Romans 13 and 7 pray to all pay to all and put into all pray for all pray to
all what is owed to them taxes to whom taxes are due revenue to whom revenues
due respect to whom respect is due and honor to whom honor is due we need to
respect and honor authorities you know we might not like the president we might
not like the school board we might not like the principal we might not like our
boss but we still need to so honor I'm telling you does it matter how
you're being treated I was in a very spiritually abusive church going back to
my last point you know I was in a very spiritually abusive church I had to so
honor even when I feel like it and now I'm reaping the benefits of doing that
okay doesn't mean you have to stay there forever but while you're there so honor
but that's not all there's more there's more the Bible has so much to say about
honor God wants you to get this why because it attracts his favorite
attracts his blessing listen to this first peter 2:17 the bible says two
words honor everyone so it's not just your mother your father it's not just
your spiritual mama your spirit your daddy your pastor the elders it's not
just authorities honor everyone walk in a lifestyle of ought to develop a
culture of honor and your family in your workplace in your church's honor
everyone everyone was created in the image of God everyone was created in His
image everyone deserves to be respected it to be treated I don't care what they
believe if they're sinners how bad as sinners they are if we don't agree with
their ideology if they hate us we must still walk in order order an agreement
or two different things it doesn't mean we agree with their lifestyle but we
honor them as a child of God in other words they were created in His image
they were they might not be in his kingdom they want to be sons of God but
they were created as image in his likeness we must show honor
everyone has created an image of God everyone has something good in them
because because they were created in His image and how are we gonna win the world
if we're dishonorable to the to the ones who don't know him that's how what we
model just about covers that there's so many scriptures about honoring God I
challenge study this for yourself you will be
amazed about what the Bible says but I'm reminded a first John 4:20 it says how
can you say you you love God when you don't love your brother in the words how
do you how can you say you let me just read you the scripture for whoever does
not love his brother whom whom he has seen how can he love God whom he has not
seen you could put honor in there as well if
we are expecting to honor God if we want to walk in honor with God which means we
honor God with our finances we honor God with our obedience we honor God with the
words of our mouth with a meditation of our heart if we say we honor God we must
honor people if we say we love God we must love people we must walk in love we
must walk in alright challenge you I want you to get this why because there's
so much disorder in the body of Christ there might be people that are just
respect you dishonor you even now you know what pray for them pray for those
who dishonor you because they're sowing a bad seed God should not be much
whatever you sow you're also gonna reap it's the same with on if you're not
honoring people you're not honoring God you know when you honor people it
releases them to trust you did you know that many times there's there's distrust
between people but you know people were just respecting me I'm not gonna trust
them I'm gonna honor them I'm gonna show them love but I'm not gonna trust you if
you're disrespecting me if you're dishonouring me honor honor releases
God's favor in your life honor causes people Audio return you know my mom used
to teach me this principle when I was young you know she said kill him with
kindness now that's that not me be sort of a I don't that's a Christian way to
put it but what she meant was just keep being kind it overload them with
kindness just keep showing them kindness keeps showing them honor manifests the
fruit of the Spirit no matter what God will reward you for it
here's the biggest biggest blessing for walking in honor the biggest blessing is
that you're walking in the presence of God you know when we walk in love when
we walk in honor we will walk in the fruit of the Spirit I believe were we're
walking in the presence we're attracting the presence of God the sweet aroma that
sweet fragrance of the Holy Ghost walking with us being more sensitive to
his spirit honor unlocks all of these things more dishonor unlocks you grieve
the Holy Spirit when you dishonor people I'm telling you I don't mean to be a
downer I'm not trying to bring you down I want
to encourage you today this is something that we all need to look at in our life
God wants to unlock radical blessings in your life radical favor radical increase
if we're sewing dishonour it hinders the Lord from bringing us into all that he
has for us because we must honor the Bible commands us to honor first of all
honor God honor God with your finances honor God with your firstfruits honor
God honor God honor God honor God with this word I want to pray for you in just
