(Note to Home teamworks: Please read or familiarize yourself with this entire GN in advance of the renewal, so that you can plan the activities of June 15 for your Home. Or, if you assign the planning of the events and meetings to others in your Home‚ they would then need to read and familiarize themselves with the GN for planning purposes.
Your whole Home should read paragraphs 1–39 before the renewal begins. But please save paragraph 40 onward, so that the material for the June 15 meetings and activities will be fresh and new for as many people as possible.
Dear Family,
1. Since the renewal is such an important milestone for the Family, a time when our Husband promises to bless each of us in so many ways as we yield to Him‚ He said we should celebrate! The renewal is going to bring new life, progress‚ cleansing, renewal, great times of communion with the Lord‚ satisfying times of fellowship with others, fulfilling witnessing adventures, fun activities, and much more! It's our Husband's gift of love to the Family, so it's only appropriate that the first day should carry a theme of love, joy‚ praise, faith, and positiveness. He said:
2. Kick off the renewal with a day of special activities that the Family worldwide, adults and children alike, can participate in. You are launching into something monumental with the renewal period; therefore start out by joining in heart and spirit for a day of personal meditation, united praise and prayer, and celebration.
3. The renewal is an earthshaking event! This time of cleansing and spiritual strengthening, of getting your hearts right with Me, of forsaking worldly things that hold you back, of moving forward in permanent lifestyle changes, of getting back to the basics, of focusing more on your children and JETTs and junior teens‚ will change things in the Family for the better, according to your obedience.
4. What the world witnessed as a result of the Day of Pentecost when My original disciples went out from the upper room was only a minute fraction of the witnessing explosions that will happen in the future, once the Family is strengthened and restructured. When you are renewed and strengthened, the world is going to sit up and take notice, and they will know that prophets walk among them. It's a thrilling time in not only the Family's history, but in world history. This is it—the beginning, the commencement of your days of great works!
5. Begin the renewal on the right foot by joining together in Word, in prayer, in hearing from Me, in communion with Me, in praise and thankfulness and celebration. As you do this, My blessings will fall. Celebrate and praise Me! Give Me thanks for your new beginning, and all that you have to look forward to!
6. I love you, My brides, and I'm bringing you through the renewal because it's going to be for the best. It's going to bring about happiness and fulfillment in the Family at all levels. This will come about through obedience. The obedience is not going to bring less joy or happiness in Me; it's going to enhance and magnify all of the good things in your lives.
7. (Mama:) We praise You, dear Love! We thank You for opening the door to change and progress and for giving us the faith to walk through it. Thank You for Your promise that there is so much to discover once we walk through the door of the renewal—not just one little room of benefits‚ but a marvelous and mysterious palace full of treasures and pleasures of the spirit!
8. Thank you too, dear Family, for your faith. Even if you're obeying through your difficulties and battles, you're still yielding and exhibiting faith, and this is to your credit. Even if you may not feel real joyous right now, if you continue to trust and walk by faith as you have been, wielding the weapon of praise‚ you will see the Lord's promises fulfilled. They will be fulfilled, if you give Him a chance.
9. During the Feast this year we learned a lot about the weapon of praise‚ so now's the time to put that to use. No matter how you're feeling, wielding the weapon of praise will help you to feel better. In fact, the Lord said that using it is a big key to us starting off the renewal in His Spirit, with His mind, so that we'll be in the position to defeat any of the Enemy's attacks right from the start. We need to praise, praise, praise—continually!
10. Here's a message on praise that someone in our Home recently received. While it wasn't specifically received regarding the renewal, it sheds light, once again, on the importance of praise in our lives‚ especially when we're facing difficulties, struggles, battles‚ or adjustments of any kind. Sometimes when you're doing everything else right—fighting to yield, striving to build your faith, and wanting to do what's right—praise is the missing ingredient that will give you the boost you need to rise above and be victorious.
11. (Jesus:) Praise is a weapon that defeats the Enemy in any battle. And the wonderful thing about the gift of praise, the weapon of praise, is that it's also a spiritual protection for you. It's not only an offensive weapon, but it also ministers to your spirit while you're defeating your Adversary. It shields you from his blows. It comforts and warms and clothes you. It nourishes your spirit and gives you strength, even while you're fighting away in hand-to–hand combat.
12. All of the new weapons of the spirit do that to some degree or another. But praise is an exceptional weapon, and I'm focusing on it right now in the Family because you have all neglected it for so long. It's been one of the elements lacking in your spiritual warfare skills, and has given the Enemy an undue advantage. So that's why I'm trying to get through to each of My children through whatever means possible, creating opportunities where they feel overwhelmed and have to grab their spiritual weaponry, and I'm hoping they will pick up the weapon of praise and start to use it. Once you do and you see how powerful it is‚ you'll never want to be without it. It will transform your life!
13. In your personal life, it's the solution to so many of the struggles you face. Praise is the lacking ingredient that will propel you to the stage where you're really winning these battles. Praise will make a huge difference, because praise unlocks the door to greater faith.
14. Focus on that concept. Every time you face a difficulty of any kind, praise Me. Praise Me when you're in the shower, going for a walk, preparing the food, sitting on the toilet. Memorize key promises on praise. Make it your focus. Pray when you get up in the morning that I'll help you to make praise a habit that day, that I'll help you remember to praise at those crucial times. And like any habit, the more you do it, the more you'll remember to do it, and the more things you'll think of to praise Me for, and the more positive your outlook on everything will become. Ask for prayer to become more praiseful.
15. Find things all along the way to praise Me for‚ which will bring My power into the situation. You'll see what I mean as you do it more. It doesn't have to become an insincere or hypocritical habit. It can be a beautiful attitude of positiveness, always looking for the good and a way to glorify Me, regardless of the circumstances.
16. When you're praising Me, you're bringing Me more into your life and circumstances, so things will start working out better. You'll not only feel better and react to things better, but things will actually be better, because I'll be more in control, My presence will be more manifested. By praising Me you're acknowledging Me and bringing My Spirit into the situation.
17. I love you, and as always, am ever near to help you with anything you face. Praising Me will help you to feel My presence more and take advantage of all the spiritual power that's at your command.
18. (Mama:) So let's get out our praise weapons and ready them to defeat the Enemy! Let's take advantage of the spiritual power that's at our command! Amen? On June 15, we're going to be praising a lot, and that means the Enemy will be on the run, and we'll be on the road to significant progress! Now that's something to look forward to!
19. Peter and I love you—each of you—and we're proud of you for your faith to obey the Lord. We're praying that June 15 will be a happy day of celebration, praise, and joy for you and your Home. To help you make the most of this day, we're including a basic plan that our Husband gave. As you'll see, the morning will be devoted to personal time with the Lord‚ you'll be having an afternoon united praise and prayer meeting, and in the evening the Lord wants us to have a celebration of some kind! Within this framework‚ there's a lot of leeway for you to pray and hear from the Lord about the specifics.
20. Peter and I and all of WS join with you, dear Family, in heart and spirit, as we pray for you and your preparation in these days leading up to the beginning of the renewal. We're praying and claiming the keys that renewal day one will be just what the Lord wants it to be for each of you, and that your Home will have a memorable, meaningful, and happy time of prayer, praise, fellowship, and celebration together. It's exciting to know that we're all walking through the doors of the renewal together, with praise keys in hand!
Much love in the power of the keys,
Mama
Morning: Personal Time
21. (Jesus:) Reserve the morning for private time with Me. Take time for personal Word, meditation, reflection, communion with Me, making personal commitments, praying personal prayers‚ praising and loving Me intimately, and hearing from Me in prophecy.
22. For your personal Word time‚ you may want to review select portions of the GNs in the renewal series; reread special quotes, promises, or favorite prophecies. Or you may want to study the personal words I have previously given you in prophecy regarding the renewal period and what it means in your life.
23. In the renewal GN series‚ there are a number of questions to ask Me. For those who have not had sufficient time to ask Me all of those prior to June 15, you can take some time this morning to bring them before Me. If you have already prayed about these questions‚ you can ask Me anything else that's on your heart, or request further insight, instruction, encouragement, or promises that I may want to give you as you begin the renewal. (Note: See reprints of the P&P questions from the renewal GNs on pages 6–7 for your easy reference.)
24. If you have children in your Home, please organize a rotational schedule for their care so that everyone in your Home is able to take some personal time with Me. It would also be fitting for the children's devotions this morning to center around the renewal—reviewing Word on it, for example. Or if your Home hasn't yet had a chance to organize the special "count your blessings" time with the children (ML #3491:149, GN 1075), this morning could be a good time to fit that in.
Afternoon: United Meeting
25. You are beginning a new life, and it starts now with the renewal. I'm giving you a new lease on life! This is day one of your renewal, your makeover! There is no better way to start out than with united praise and prayer time! Use the weapon of praise unitedly to set the Enemy back, and then to pray for an anointing of faith for the renewal so that you can begin on the right foot. This doesn't need to be a long meeting, but can be upbeat, lively, and praiseful. The weapon of praise should be used to the maximum. (Note: Please include the children in your Home who are old enough to participate.)
26. It goes without saying that you should assign someone in your Home, or a couple of people, to plan this meeting ahead of time.
27. Start off the meeting with a message from Natalia (see paragraph 40 of this GN), which is a rousing talk on praise with tips on how to make this meeting an unforgettable one. Then employ the weapon of praise as I lead you. For example, you could sing some songs or dance, as per Natalia's message. Or you could use some of the new praise keys, the ways to praise (see paragraph 50 of this GN), the ABCs of praise, some of the praise offensives from "Renewal: The Big Picture" (ML #3489:125-136), or ask Me for new ideas. (Note: We're including a lot of praise material in this GN, and you may or may not be able to fit all of it into your united afternoon meeting. If not, you may want to use some of it during your evening celebration, or in other future meetings or united devotions.)
28. You could consider having someone prepare a short recap of the vision, goals, and objectives of the renewal from the renewal GNs, and share/read it during this meeting.
29. Next, everyone can gather in a circle and lay hands on one another as selected readers read the united written prayers (see paragraphs 71-85 of this GN).
30. At the end of your meeting, take a short time to hear from Me unitedly, asking Me for a message through one or two channels.
Evening: Celebration
31. This should be a happy‚ uplifting time of praise, celebration, and fellowship—a family affair for the entire Home, including the children (or at least part of it including the children). Celebrate taking the first step through the renewal gateway to greater things!
32. Ask Me what would be the best way to celebrate in your situation—whether your celebration should be centered around a meal, a special snack, some drinks and treats, around music and dancing, or some other original idea as I lead. But whatever you decide on, preparations for this time should not be highly labor intensive (or the preparations should be done prior to June 14), so as not to distract from the important time of private and united prayer during the day on June 15. For example, celebrating over a fancy meal that requires hours and hours of cooking and preparation would not be in order.
33. You can make this time of celebration nice, meaningful‚ but simple, so that the emphasis can be on togetherness and fellowship. (See ideas for talk–time topics at the end of this GN.) Here are a few suggestions for this celebration—but please don't be bound or limited by these. If I show you to do something a little different‚ please follow My lead. As always, I know what will work best in your situation.
34. * Enjoy a nice but simple meal, with a special ambiance. You could serve a glass of wine or some beer to the adults, and then serve special juice for the children. Stay seated around the table as you have a time of fellowship and talk-time together.
35. * Have a simple buffet–type meal so that you can mix and mingle and fellowship while you eat. At some point, stop for a united toast to the Lord and to each other‚ and share a few testimonies on a specific topic.
36. * Get together after your evening meal for a sing-along and some special snacks and drinks. Pass around the guitar or other instruments, and let all who can‚ lead in playing their favorite Family songs. If the children are present they may want to "dance along" as well, or everyone might want to join in dancing and singing.
37. * Unite after dinner for fellowship, to share a glass of wine (or beer or other drinks), toast to Me, serve simple snacks, and have talk-time fellowship with one another. When a "toast" is in order, the children can also participate, in which case you'd want to have some special or fun drink for the children‚ such as a special fruit juice or lemonade.
38. * Have a dance night, with snacks and drinks.
39. * Have a barbeque dinner or picnic at a local park, beach, or in your own back yard.
(P&P questions reprinted from the Renewal GNs, for your personal time on the morning of June 15, if you haven't had time beforehand.)
(Question:) Jesus, I need to know what's in it [the renewal] for me. I really don't see how this period of renewal is going to do me any good. It looks like just plain misery to me, so I really need Your perspective. Tell me how this is going to benefit me. What am I going to get out of this? (ML #3489:17, GN 1073.)
(Question:) Dearest Husband, You know me better than anyone in this world. You know me even better than I know myself. So I ask You to clearly show me right now what You want to change in my life. What addictions—whether obvious or hidden—do I have that I need to forsake? You said that everyone has addictions, everyone has things in their life that they put before You or Your work, things we've made gods out of—so that means me, Jesus. Please show me specifically how You want to cleanse me. (ML #3489:71, GN 1073.)
(Question: ) What can I do to invest in the children during the renewal? I want it to be a fun‚ positive experience for them‚ and I don't want to fail them because of something I could have done to help but didn't. So please show me what I can do to pour into the children. How can I give more and sacrifice more of my own personal desires or time for the sake of the children? What, practically speaking, can I do to make a difference?
(Note: If the children in your Home are presently going to System school, please ask the Lord for specifics regarding this question. Fulfilling the goals of the renewal while your children are in System school will probably be quite a big challenge for you, so the Lord will undoubtedly have extra guidelines‚ and important counsel and instruction for you.) (From ML #3491, "United Home To-Do List," GN 1076.)
(Question: ) I know that I'm responsible to have faith, peace, and a positive attitude toward the renewal‚ so I can pass that same spirit on to the children in my Home. So please speak to me, Jesus, about anything that I may be concerned about—whether it's something I'm personally concerned about, or something I'm concerned about regarding the children. Please give me Your answers so that I can have the right outlook and mindset when I'm around the children. I don't want my own battles or difficulties or concerns to get in the way of me being Your love to the children‚ so please tell me anything You know I need to strengthen my faith so that I can be the support and help they need me to be. (From ML #3491, "United Home To-Do List," GN 1076.)
(Question for parents:) Dear Jesus‚ You know my children (or child) better than I know them (or him or her) myself, and You have the key to their hearts. Please speak to me clearly and show me when would be the best time to talk with my children. What day would be best, and what time of day? And what would be the best approach, as well as the best examples, word pictures, and ways of expressing things that would be easiest for them to accept and understand? Please give me any insight, understanding, wisdom, counsel, or instruction that You know I need in order to relate to my children and pass on the concept of the renewal to them. (From ML #3491, "United Home To-Do List," GN 1076.)
(Question:) How can we help the JETTs and junior teens in our Home to learn to grow in motivation? What can we do to remedy the problem and encourage more creativity and initiative? (From ML #3492, "United Home To-Do List," GN 1077.)
Parents, please ask the Lord the following question as soon into the renewal as you are able to fit it in. It does not need to be prayed about on June 15.
(Question:) In what areas am I failing as a parent, and what can I do to be a better parent? What can I do to help my children grow stronger spiritually, and what are their greatest spiritual needs at this time? Please speak to me, dearest Husband, about my parenting, my children's spiritual lives and upbringing, how I can shepherd and help my children more, in what areas I should be improving regarding their care, or anything else that You'd like to give me a message about. (From ML #3491, "United Home To-Do List‚" GN 1076.)
Note to Home teamworks: The material from this point on, which is new material for the June 15 meetings and activities, should not be read by your Home members prior to June 15.
(To read toward the beginning of your afternoon united meeting on June 15.)
40. (Natalia: ) Praise is the most exciting activity imaginable. I'm not talking about ho-hum, humdrum, "Thank You, Jesus! Thank You, Lord!" praises. I'm talking about jumping up and down in song, shouting out your heart's joy to the Lord. I'm talking about getting roused in spirit, free in the spirit, wild for Jesus. I'm talking about starting off with an inspiration‚ songs that will lift your spirit on high‚ that will pull you out of your seats and get you dancing before His throne.
41. Start off with some music. Music is a pure and refined form of praise to Jesus. Call on the keys of praise and then let it rip! Call on the keys of the wine of the Holy Spirit and praise Him, praise Him‚ praise Him! Call on the keys to get you high and uninhibited in your praises. Sing songs that will lift your spirits in thankfulness to the One Who has set you free. And then don't be afraid to be free, beloved. Get up and dance! Praise and feel free to let yourselves go as King David did when he danced before the Lord—that'll break some bottles! Hold not back and be not timid! Get moved and get moving! Sing praises unto the Lord. Call on the keys of praise to motivate you and get you up on your feet and praising our Savior!
42. Don't just sit back‚ holding back the inspiration that is dying to flow through you. Let it burn‚ baby, let it burn! Let's see some action! Let's get up and praise the Lord in song and dance. Put your praises into action by jumping up and down, moving around, getting moved by the music Jesus has given you.
43. Lift up your arms in praise to Jesus, in wild and ecstatic praises! Let nothing stand in your way. Give it all up to Jesus. Let your heart overflow with the keys of inspiration and enthusiasm, which Jesus has given you. Sing, shout, and glorify God in the dance. Get moving! Shake, wiggle, wobble, or whatever it takes to get you out of your seats.
44. Start lifting your arms to Jesus, and watch the power flow through. Lift up your "lightning rods" to Heaven and let the Spirit zap you with power, inspiration, and enthusiasm. Serving Jesus is not a boring life; it's an exciting life. Get excited‚ get wild, go mad for Jesus! Go crazy on Jesus! Get drunk in the spirit! Get moved in the physical.
45. You can't have this activity sitting down. Push back the couches and chairs, and make room to dance and sing to Jesus! Be like the lame man who was healed. Did he settle back down to his pallet and mildly and meekly praise God? No, he began running and leaping and praising God! His spirit overcame his physical ailments, and he leapt for joy before the Lord for all His goodness.
46. Don't let those chairs catch you. Sit on the floor if you must have a rest, but let it only be a momentary reprieve from the white-hot Spirit of God. Let it inspire you! Let those tongues of fire dance above your heads! Let the anointing of the Holy Spirit descend upon you and give you power and liberty.
47. Get free, beloved! Get liberated in spirit! Do whatever it takes to get there. If it takes dancing, then dance. If it takes singing with all your heart, then sing. If it takes speaking in tongues, then speak it out. If it takes loving your brothers and sisters, then love them. Dance, sing, praise, do whatever it takes, and don't stop till you've been loved by Jesus. Don't stop till every person in the room has been invigorated by the Spirit from on high.
48. Let His Spirit fill you to overflowing! Let the inspiration lift your mind and soul and spirit. Let His Spirit break you out of your ruts, move you off your lazy backside! Forget yourself! Forget those around you! Get jiggy with Jesus! Amen? Get down with the Spirit; get high on Jesus! Let His Spirit rip off the coverings of pride and every other false front, and get naked in spirit before Him. Let the Spirit rip through you like tongues of fire! Loose the Spirit within you! It's all there, it's just waiting. Don't hold back; give it up for Jesus! Isn't He worth it? Doesn't He deserve your unrestrained praises? Let'm rip! Let them control you. Give in to the power of Jesus. Give in to the power of praise and have a good time with Jesus.
49. Don't sit back watching, get in there and praise. It only works if each person is united in spirit, just like on the Day of Pentecost when the disciples were all gathered together in the upper room, "of one accord." Did you get that? "Of one accord!" That means they were united in spirit, they were all there for the same reason. So don't just sit there like a bump on a log! Get wild! Get excited! Get praising! Get enthusiastic about Jesus! Hasn't He done so much for you? Hasn't He given you life, liberty, joy, and inspiration? Then let it show. Show Jesus how much you love Him by casting off the yoke of the world. Cast off the bondage of the System and be free in His Spirit. Amen?

50. (Mama: ) When using these praise ideas, please give everyone a minute or two to think of what they'd like to say in their praise. The emphasis should not be on how fast you can think something up and rattle it off‚ but on making the praise time meaningful—and it will be more meaningful if everyone has a few moments to pray about what they're going to share. Some people are faster thinkers than others‚ so it's important to be mindful and considerate of those who might not be as quick, or those whose native language isn't English (or another language‚ if you happen to be holding your meeting in the local language of the country you live in).
51. Thank You, Jesus, that I'm not a _______ but a _______. (Add in the blank something that you're thankful you're not, and then something you're thankful you are. For example, "Thank You, Jesus, that I'm not a church member, but a revolutionary.")
52. The intoxicating Wine of the Spirit makes me _______. (For example, "The intoxicating Wine of the Spirit makes me feel free and alive.")
53. If it wasn't for You, dear Love, I'd be a big _______. (For example, "If it wasn't for You, dear Love‚ I'd be a big disaster.")
54. Thank the Lord for (the person to your left). He/she is a wonderful _______. (For example, "Thank You, Jesus, for Sally. She is a wonderful channel of Your love to me.")
55. Jesus, I'm _______ but You're ______. (For example, "Jesus, I'm weak, but You're strong.")
56. Jesus, You're a mega _______. (For example, "Jesus, You're a mega Answer Man.")
57. Thank You, Jesus, that I can do the humble thing by _______. (Fill in the blank with a "humble thing." For example, "Thank You, Jesus, that I can do the humble thing by raising my hands to praise You.")
58. Thank You‚ precious Jesus, for the children's song, _______, because it reminds me _______. (For example, "Thank You, precious Jesus, for the children's song 'It's Bubbling,' because it reminds me to stay close to You so that I can bubble over with Your Spirit of happiness no matter what happens.")
59. I'm thankful for the age of _______ (an age you were at least five years ago), because _______ (explain what you learned or simply appreciated about the time you were that age). (For example, "I'm thankful for the age of 10, because that's when I learned to touch-type.")
60. We praise You for the spirit helper _______, who we can call on to _______. (For example, "We praise You for the spirit helper Arcothon, who we can call on to defeat Apotheon.")
(To use in your afternoon united meeting on June 15, or your evening celebration.)
61. (Mama:) Here's a fun and powerful praise activity! Our Husband gave us some ABCs of praise—different things that the key of praise does for us that begin with each letter of the alphabet. You can cut these out from the sheets provided and have everyone pick out a slip (or a few if you have a smaller Home), and go around the room and read them, starting from A and going all the way to Z. (Note: The file of these ABCs is also available on the MO site.)
62. Or if you want to get inventive and creative, you could turn this into a praise game. It can be fun and lively. Especially if the children are present, you'll want to keep their attention. Some ideas to get you started are:
63. * You could choose a word like "Praise," "Jesus," or "Renewal," and have one person read one praise for each letter. For example, start with P‚ then R, then A, then I, then S, then E.
64. * You could have one person act each one out‚ like charades, while everyone else guesses.
65. * You could have one person read all of the "A" praises, and then praise the Lord for something that begins with the letter "A." Then the next person reads the "B" praises, and then praises the Lord for something that begins with the letter "B."
66. Even though the Lord has included specific demon's names in this listing of what the keys of praise can do, you can substitute the names of other demons you're specifically fighting against if need be. Or you could put "the Enemy" or "Satan" in place of one of the demon's names, if more appropriate. The keys of praise defeat all of the Devil's demons, so you can put in whatever name is most applicable.
67. (Jesus:) When you use your demon–defeating weapons of the keys of praise, they will:
A
Answer your call.
Accomplish each task on your to–do list.
Achieve your goals.
Activate stronger faith.
Always win the battle.
Attack Arakan.

68. (Question:) These ABCs of praise are really awesome and fun, but can the praise keys really do all of these things? Can I really call on the keys of praise to get me organized, to supply my needs, to give me strength, and all of these other things You're saying the keys of praise can do? It sounds like the keys of praise can basically do anything. Is this the way it really is, or are these just elaborate promises?
69. (Jesus: ) Yes, the keys of praise can do what I'm advertising. The keys of praise are your all-around undefeatable weapon. You can use them in any battle and they will help to bring the victory. They can enhance any prayer; they can augment any other specific key you claim. The keys of praise enhance the power of all of the other specific keys. For example, if you're praying for supply, claim the keys of supply and the keys of praise. Adding the ingredient of the keys of praise to any prayer you pray will not go to waste. It will make your prayer more powerful, not less powerful.
70. The keys of praise are effective in every battle, and multiply the power of your prayer a thousand times. So if you're praying for organization, supply, healing, or any other request, the keys of praise will add a unique boost of power to your prayer.

(To use toward the end of your afternoon united meeting on June 15.)
71. I call on the keys of faith, Jesus! I want a new anointing of faith—faith to believe that what You're asking of me is possible, faith to believe that You're going to perform the miracles that You have promised, and faith to follow Your plan even without completely understanding every detail of it. You've given me so much wonderful Word on the renewal, Jesus, and I need the anointing of faith to obey and be a doer of Your Word.
72. Dear Husband, You said, "If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth." But right now I feel a bit like the man in the Bible who said, "Lord, I believe; help Thou mine unbelief." So I praise You in advance for giving me the faith, for helping me to trust in Your plan, and for taking the steps that You've asked me to take. I am trusting that as I obey, You will begin to change things in my heart. You have promised me the strength, the power, and the anointing I need through the keys of faith.
73. So I ask You to unleash the power of the keys of faith in great force. Give me all that I need, Jesus‚ a powerful dose. Pour down Your faith on me like I've never felt before, so that I can follow You more closely than ever before. I'm depending on You; I'm counting on You, and I know You won't fail.
*
74. I praise You, my Husband‚ Lover, and King! Thank You for this special privilege and honor, and the gift of time to be renewed in soul and spirit. As I walk through the door of this new beginning, I want to commit my heart‚ mind, and body to serve You and this Family. I know that what I wasn't able to do before is now possible through the power of the keys; and though I sometimes feel like I don't have it in me, I walk by faith‚ not by feelings. By Your grace I claim the keys of faith to help me fight to the best of my ability to reach the goals and objectives of the renewal.
75. I call on the key of obedience to follow You closely; on the key of revolution to turn me around from the way I was going; on the key of determination to help me go the distance for You; on the key of endurance that I may keep holding on to You; on the key of heavenly thought power to fill my mind with Your thoughts; on the keys of liberty and freedom to live for You and others; on the key of overcoming the Enemy to help me to rise above any of his attacks.
*
76. I praise You‚ my faithful Husband, for testing times that strengthen me. I praise You and thank You for this golden opportunity, the chance of a lifetime. I praise You for this new lease on life, for the opportunity to be cleansed and strengthened and made into a better disciple and follower of You. Thank You that the demon-defeating keys of praise never fail; they will do whatever I ask as they fight for me to win the battle.
*
77. As I begin the renewal, I stand on the power of the keys of the Kingdom to rise above. I do not doubt the keys. Though Satan tells me the outlook is questionable‚ I know the keys will conquer all! I call on the keys of faith, obedience‚ humility, and desperation to help me make the most of this time of renewal and spiritual strengthening.
78. I call on the keys of spiritual vacuum and hunger; fill me with the true riches of Your Spirit. I focus on the keys and claim their power to increase my spiritual awareness. Through the power of the keys, I ask that You part the veil and help me to have unity and good communication with You and my spirit helpers. Give me a strong link to the full scope of Your heavenly thought power.
*
79. I call on the keys of strength, stamina, and conviction to root out my addictions, bad habits, wrong mindsets‚ and anything in my heart, mind, and spirit that is not of You. I release the power of Your cleansing keys to begin to wash my heart and renew my spirit.
80. I call on the keys of obedience and yieldedness to fill me with the desire to please and obey You, my dear Husband, and to let You have full sway in my life.
81. When I fight with the keys I cannot be stopped. All limitations are lifted through the power of the keys. Radical change is at my doorstep the moment I ask for it in the power of the keys. Help me to stand fast on the keys that make me free. Help me to never again be entangled with the yoke of bondage.
*
82. I call on the power of the keys to defeat my opponents. I release the power of the keys to defeat Satan and his demons, to deliver me from the attacks of Obstacon, Apotheon, Pan, Bacchus, Baal, Oplexicon, Pride, Lethargy, the Selvegion, the demons of depression, and every other evil demon of Satan who fights me.
83. I call on my heavenly helpers to fight for me. Send me Tola and Tor, the Activation Angels, and the Fairy Angel Fighters to come to my defense. I call on Arcothon, Illuminus, Boheme, Archer and Styrian, on Michael, Gabriel and Raphael and the many other helpers who are ready to assist me. Send a key craft, dear Love, to come to my aid, as well as the aid of every Family member, during this time of renewal.
84. Thank You for Your mighty power and that You are going to supply every need as I focus on You. No force of evil, no power of darkness, can have any hold on me when I am wielding the power of the keys in the strength of faith and the spirit of yieldedness!
*
85. There is no limit to what the power of the keys can do through me when my heart is yielded to You. Thank You, faithful Love, that You are going to bring me through the renewal period in a better position to be able to serve You more effectively and wholeheartedly. Thank You‚ by faith, that You are going to help me make long-lasting, durable lifestyle adjustments and changes. I praise You and thank You that as I forsake the distractions of this earth, I will find renewal, newness of life, and greater happiness than ever before. I praise You, my Lover of all loves, my Commander and King, for Your mercy, Your faithfulness, and Your never-ending love.

(Ideas to use during your evening celebration on June 15.)
* Ask for volunteers to share testimonies of miracles or answers to prayer that they experienced in their lives.
* Take turns sharing personal spiritual experiences.
* Share testimonies of how different members in the Home met and joined the Family.
* Tell a testimony of a time that was very difficult in your life, when you were caught between a rock and a hard place, and then share what the Lord did to get you out of it. (For example, you needed to come up with the rent within 24 hours and you didn't have a penny to your name. Or, when returning from a visa trip you were denied entry back into the country you lived in. Or, civil war broke out on your mission field, etc.)
* Share and expound on one important lesson you've learned in your time serving the Lord.
* Go around the room and have everybody share their favorite verse, key promise, quote, or Family song title‚ and explain why it means so much to them.
* Prepare several talk-time questions centered around your service for the Lord. Put them in a hat and let each person pick one; go around the circle, everyone answering their question.
* Have everyone write down a list of five of their favorite things on a slip of paper (with their name at the top). Have one person read each list aloud, while everyone else guesses whose "five favorite things" belong to who.
* Use some prepared talk-time questions. (Lord willing, a list with some talk-time ideas will be posted on the MO site before the renewal begins.)
Text box:
Note: If you have children in your Home participating in the celebration, please be sure to ask the Lord how to adapt your conversation or talk-time themes so that they're children–friendly. If you choose to have talk-time‚ naturally the adults would need to be mindful of their answers with the children present. Some talk-time questions geared to children could be prepared for them to pick out of a hat too, so that they can participate. We know as you seek the Lord, He will lead in how to organize this time to include the children.
