The Prayer That Changes Everything

The Prayer that Changes Everything: the heart behind our prayers is capable of bringing our breakthrough and some mighty big changes with it. When we turn our prayers of “give me, give me, give me” to “You can take it all, God,” something miraculous happens. This one shift sets off a landslide of possibility that truly changes everything.

Hangin’ out here helping heart-shattered lives become whole again | Grace Slinger | Plant🌱Eater | Victory Girl | Author 📖Becoming a Victory Girl | OKC

Amy Elaine Martinez
Let us not lose sight of this incredible time we’ve been born into; keep your vision  aligned with God’s.

Let us not forget that things are becoming clearer by the day. Through the transforming power of the Holy Spirit things are happening in the Spirit realm. Though we cannot see, we must continue to believe. 
Though we are tired, we must BEGIN AGAIN each day. There is simply too much at stake. Unborn children, stolen little ones, prodigals, the broken, bruised, and beaten...a dying world who desperately needs to know Jesus and the love of God. Now, is the time fearless girl! Wake Up! Rise Up! Use your voice for God! For the sake of Jesus and His bride, the Church, get back up & begin again! 

Truth is: God‘s hand is at work in our lives. He did not call us to be like the world; no, God called us to be set apart. We may not see these truths evident in the natural. Yet, God’s supernatural plans and powerful purposes will prevail. 

At no other time in our lifetime have we seen such a need for revival and restoration in our country. And around the 🌎 world.

Still—God is still on the throne! Wake Up! 

“Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Ephesians 5:14

What can you do to tap into God’s powerful plan for the Kingdom? 
•Press on. 
•Pray without ceasing.
•Position yourselves on the side of God. 
•Purpose to be intentional about beginning again with God. #amyelaineministries #intentionalliving #womenintheword #victoriousliving #riseup #wakeup #darknesstolight #shespeaks #fearless #daughteroftheking #clarity #vision #inspiredaily #womeninministry #darlingdaily #sheislight #shine #beginagain #revival #purposefulliving
“Becoming is heart work.” ~Amy Elaine …when “Becoming is heart work.” ~Amy Elaine …when I wrote those words a few years ago I never thought they would become my mantra. I thought I’d outgrow them, but becoming is our ongoing spiritual renewal. It’s true, the most important work we’ll ever do begins in our own hearts. Refine us, Lord. 🙏 “Don’t just listen to the Word of Truth and not respond to it, for that is the essence of self-deception. So always let his Word become like poetry written and fulfilled by your life! If you listen to the Word and don’t live out the message you hear, you become like the person who looks in the mirror of the Word to discover the reflection of his face in the beginning. You perceive how God sees you in the mirror of the Word, but then you go out and forget your divine origin. But those who set their gaze deeply into the perfecting law of liberty are fascinated by and respond to the truth they hear and are strengthened by it—they experience God’s blessing in all that they do! If someone believes they have a relationship with God but fails to guard his words then his heart is drifting away and his religion is shallow and empty. True spirituality that is pure in the eyes of our Father God is to make a difference in the lives of the orphans, and widows in their troubles, and to refuse to be corrupted by the world’s values.”
‭‭James (Jacob)‬ ‭1:22-27‬ ‭TPT‬‬ #victoriousliving #amyelaineministries #becoming #IAmAVictoryGirl #becomingavictorygirl #jesusgirl #heartwork #heartofgod #pure #holy #brideofchrist #jesusgirl #darlingdaily #couragedearheart #faithjourney
“We think we can’t change but the God who neve “We think we can’t change but the God who never changes is capable of changing us.” -Amy Elaine Martinez —that’s me 😉 on The Love Offering Podcast with my friend,  @rachaeladamsauthor who has a devotional book coming out in October with @broadstreet_publishing and it’s available for preorder NOW! Swipe ⬅️ to see the beautiful cover and a pic of Rachael’s beautiful smile. “A Little Goes A Long Way: 52 Days to a Significant Life” is gorgeous and I can’t wait to read these devotionals. I loved our conversation on the podcast and thought I’d share all.the.things with you today! So much goodness! 🦋 Here’s your Tuesday Transformation Tip: Recently, I wrote a post declaring, “small victories lead to our biggest breakthroughs.” Small is huge in the heavenlies! Big changes begin with being  intentional in the everyday. Be intentional about grabbing Rachael’s book and go listen to our conversation I linked it in my stories today! 🎧 Most importantly y’all: “Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.” Zechariah 4:10 NLT #amyelaineministries #smallbeginnings #transformationtuesday #tuesdaytip #darlingdaily #loveofferingpodcast #alittlegoesalongway #newbook #devotional #broadstreetpublishing #changeisintheair #august #intentionalliving #victoriousliving
Worth repeating (repost): Simple truths hold us up Worth repeating (repost): Simple truths hold us up when HIDING seems like our only option. Our testimonies are powerful because they point away from ourselves and directly at Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith—our lives. Parts of my story aren’t pretty. They make me want to hide. However, I’ve learned to humble myself and instead of hiding, to speak out loud the truths God has spoken over me. In Zephaniah 3:17, we meet our Warrior-God who defends our reputations and restores our reckless hearts. Where once I was rebellious, now I am a rebel. Breaking the silence, telling my story so that perhaps even one girl who hears it will know how God’s love is pursuing her today. Though our lives are messy and we haven’t yet cleaned up our act, God pursues us with a holy love that saves us from ourselves. And the most beautiful thing to me is His singing over us (yes you). The Amplified Bible gives us a glimpse into the Father heart of God when it says He quiets us in perfect love, “making no mention of your past sins.” This passage is a simple truth that holds us up when all we want to do is crouch down in hiding. If what’s on repeat in your mind makes you want to hide, you can be sure that’s not God—that is the enemy who comes to steal your joy, kill your dreams, and destroy your testimony! If he can keep you all hushed up in shame, he knows you’ll never go and tell of the amazing things God actually did in your heart! If you haven’t yet met Jesus as your Warrior-God who saves, simply run to him now and tell on yourself—everything, all the things that make you want to hide and then ask Him to forgive you. Know this: He will! He never stops pursuing us. Every day, every hour, no matter what you’re chasing or what’s chasing you, God is faster…He will catch you and sing songs of deliverance over you. When I share my story, I always end with, “Fortunately, God’s been chasing me down my whole life…finally I let Him catch me and it has been so lovely!” (not easy, but glorious) Sweet girl — God has a breakthrough with your name on it; He’s trying to catch your heart today. -AEM 💛#breakthrough #testimony #brave #amyelaineministries #stophiding #inspiration more 👇
Fortunately, God pursues us. He chases us down wit Fortunately, God pursues us. He chases us down with His love, yet it’s up to us to give in and let Him catch us. When I finally let God catch me, there was a freedom I’d never known before. I don’t know if you’re afraid of getting caught, I was. But God won’t hold you down or hold you back. Sweet girl, God just wants to hold you in His love. There’s no better place to be. -AEM 🙌💛“Your beauty and love chase after me every day of my life. I’m back home in the house of God for the rest of my life.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭23:6‬ ‭MSG‬‬

13 years I prayed for my husband to come to know J 13 years I prayed for my husband to come to know Jesus. The enemy tried desperately to get me to mess that up, BUT GOD rescued me from my self-sabotaging ways. he didn’t win. 29 years I’ve prayed that he’d fall in love with God’s Word. Never seeing any evidence, yet continuing to believe it was happening even when I couldn’t see. That’s faith: believing even when we can’t see. Recently, I’ve walked into our tiny barn to find his Bible open, laid out where all can see. I’m undone. 😭 It’s such a beautiful thing to trust God in the unseen things. 🙌 Are you praying for a loved one, a prodigal, a friend to come to know the Jesus you’ve fallen so in love with? I’ve been there…actually I am there. God is working when we cannot see. He is faithful. Keep praying. Keep believing. Raise your hand 🙋‍♀️ in the comments below and I will pray with you. Enjoy your Sunday, friends. God is good. #amyelaineministries #faithjourney #prayerwarrior #womenintheword #sunday
Found one of my favorite books sitting out on my m Found one of my favorite books sitting out on my mom’s kitchen table. If you haven’t read Courageous Women of the Bible by @latanmurphy @bethany_house_nonfiction you are missing out! It’s been translated into other languages—yep, it’s that good! So sweet to see my mom still pursuing Jesus with her Bible and this amazing book. Even with Alzheimer’s—she still meets with Jesus every day. 🥰 Along with the 🧩 puzzles, we gather at this table as we have for decades and drink hot tea 🫖 and spend our days together. It’s really sweet to be back home in OK for this special time with my parents. At 85 and 84, these days are truly a gift.
She walked with God—
and everything changed! Y’all this is the key to victorious living! Think you can’t bear God? You can. This is what God is saying right now: Walk with Me. 💛#gamechangers #amyelaineministries #walkwithgod #saturdaymorning #faithjourney

⚜️The Victory Girl’s Battle Cry~ I never fi ⚜️The Victory Girl’s Battle Cry~  I never fight alone; God has made me brave for today! I am a kind and humble soul. ⚜️ If you’ve been hanging around here for awhile you know that victory ✌️ is my jam. I wasn’t always a Victory Girl BUT GOD—He changed my want-to into let’s do this together. Because with God, change is not only possible, but inevitable. And, when God changes your heart, VICTORY manifests in your everyday life. This isn’t a prosperity gospel I’m taking about here. No name it and claim theology. This is straight from the pages of God’s Word. While we will continue to face trials and tribulations (John 16:33) in this world, but in Christ we have been made overcomers (1 John 4:4) more than conquerors (Romans 8:37). We’ve been given victory and the resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in us through Holy Spirit. (Ephesians 1:19-20) this is my prayer 🙏 for you today: “I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, would give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened so that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what is the wealth of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the mighty working of his strength.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1:17-19‬ ‭CSB‬‬
As we head into the weekend, let’s 🐝 grateful that He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world. The verb “overcome” is in the perfect tense: in this verse it means the victory that was and is ongoing. That’s how God works in our lives—ongoing, every day, continuing to grow us and mold and shape us into the image of His Son. Oh to be like Him! Revival begins in us and overflows from a heart of gratitude for what we’ve seen God do in our own lives…knowing He can do it in those we meet—in our loved ones, in our marriages, in our churches,. Yes, do it Lord! 🙌“But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:57 #amyelaineministries #victoriousliving #couragedearheart #wonthedoit #revival #nowisthetime #faithjourney #iamavictorygirl BAVG 📖 in my link🌳
Oh my heart 💛💛 these two- they met in jr. h Oh my heart 💛💛 these two- they  met in jr. high and I never dreamed they’d end up married. When they asked (I mean told) us…(my son,Sidney, was 19 and Riley, almost 21) We said “absolutely not—you’re too young.” Then, after getting some wise counsel that they were either going to do this with us or without us, we embraced the idea of them getting married (so young) and opened up our home and backyard for their wedding. It was one of the most special days ever and the rest is history. They waited well, dated long distance for his first year of college, and 7 years later they’ve blessed us with the most precious gift of being grandparents to little Raelynn Rose Elaine. 💖 Along the way, I’ve learned a lot from my daughter-in-love, Riley. She’s smart and generous with grace for others. She helps me to understand both Millennials and GenZ which helps me love better and see things outside my limited GenX POV. ♟Fervently praying for the next generations to know God and to follow His ways. ♟To be the change we must know the One who brings lasting change to our hearts and minds. ♟The winds of auGUST are blowing the dust off ancient pathways where God is saying… “this is the way, walk in it…” He’s calling trailblazers and pioneers to step out and journey with Jesus to set the pace for those who will follow. Now is the time. We are His people. God is moving. Why am I sharing this? Because, I have a question for you. ❓❔❓Are you ready to go, to lead, to pray them through, and show them what it looks like to live like Jesus and follow fearlessly after His ways? 🙋‍♀️ Raise your hand if you’d join me in praying for this next move of God—for our kids of all ages growing up in this ever-changing world?🙏 Meditate on this: “Do not let your heart be troubled (afraid, cowardly). Believe [confidently] in God and trust in Him, [have faith, hold on to it, rely on it, keep going and] believe also in Me. John 14:1 AMP #amyelaineministries #journeywithjesus #trailblazers  #walkwithgod #keeppraying #faithjourney #nextgeneration #couragedearheart #darlingdaily #womenintheword #intentionalliving #victoriousliving #highschoolsweethearts #daughterinlove #datenight #boymom #adventureseeker
We’ve been made ready to walk worthy. This littl We’ve been made ready to walk worthy. This little slice of Ephesians 4 (yes the whole chapter) gave me hope today: “to be renewed in the spirit of your minds,” Ephesians‬ ‭4:23‬ ‭And, I hope it empowers you today too. We’ve been given everything we need to walk out our calling in this life. Whether you’re changing diapers or running a company or taking a break after years of serving, we’re all called to walk worthy of that calling. And the very best news is that God’s given us the tools and means to do so. Holy Spirit in us is the key to renewing our minds and hearts for all God has planned for us to do and be. Walk in that today. Stand in that today. I’ll be right here cheering you on, sweet friend! Happy Thursday! #amyelaineministries #worthy #renewyourmind #tranformationthursday #faithjourney #walkitout #womenintheword #bibleverseoftheday 🙋‍♀️ Hey there… could I encourage you to go read Chapter 4 of Ephesians today? I know it will inspire you and life you up! 💛 -AEM ***come back and tell me your favorite verse in this passage or what God revealed to you in your time with Him. #fiveminutes #justdoit
If I could tell you just☝️thing, I’d tell yo If I could tell you just☝️thing, I’d tell you why I love Jesus. It’s complicated, yet simple. Messy and beautiful. I once was a girl who thought she couldn’t change. I tried and tried to be good enough—to behave appropriately, but time and time again I failed. I tripped over temptation and fell hard in regret. Shame chased me down and held me against my will. I felt backed into a corner…paralyzed with fear. Until, Jesus showed up in my greatest time of need and loved me in my ugliest moment. Where the enemy worked overtime to count me out screaming I could never overcome my bent toward sin, God whispered louder,  convincing me otherwise. At just the right moment, when I was about to make a grave mistake. He spoke life-changing words over me. Reminding me of who I was in Christ—that I didn’t have to keep allowing sin to rule my heart and dictate my ways. No, this wasn’t who I was anymore, by His grace…I had changed. No longer bound, but free—free to choose differently. Because of the transforming power of Holy Spirit in me, finally, I saw my sin for what it was…how it grieved the heart of God and at just the right moment, courage said, “NO MORE.” The scales that blinded me, fell off so I didn’t have to fall into the pit of sin and shame again. He rescued me from myself. He loved me when I was unloveable. He saw future Amy and helped me see her too. That’s why I love Jesus because He changed me. So, if I could tell you one thing, I’d tell you that one thing over and over again until you believed He would do the same for you. Because, He will. He’s incredibly forgiving and generous when it comes to pouring grace over our ugly so we can see the beauty of surrendering our ways to His and learn to walk in wholeness and live in victory one day at a time until days become weeks, weeks become years, years become decades, and decades become a lifetime. 🙋‍♀️ Ask me again why I love Jesus, I dare you! I’ll keep repeating it until it sinks in deep and you begin to believe change is possible, not just for everyone else, but for you…especially for you. 💛 -AEM “Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven; that’s why she loved much.” Luke‬ ‭7:47‬ ‭CSB #changemaker
It’s National Book Lovers Day! I’ve been dying It’s National Book Lovers Day! I’ve been dying to share my current stack of books. Do you see a theme here? Preparation is paramount to being Spirit-led and Spirit-fed. God is on the move; are you ready to say yes to His great adventures? Before stepping out into the NEXT thing with God, I believe it’s important to prepare our hearts and minds for where He is taking us. Purify | Refine | Purge | Renew | Resolve | Prepare —this is what my spirit is hearing. Our assignments from God are not something to take lightly because lives are at stake, His reputation is on the line. I take that seriously when I’m writing or teaching or posting. On the lighter side: Of course,  Maverick 🐶 is looking at that stack of books thinking 🤔 “UMMM we may have a problem here…when are you gonna have time to play with me?” 🤣 On the deeper side: 👉 My mama taught Sunday School for 35 years. Above her study in their home, hangs a stain glass window with 2 Timothy 2:15, “Study to show thyself approved.” She taught me by example as I watched her hover over God’s Word on the daily. She not only studied, but lived out the words she read. Even still, with Alzheimer’s stealing her mind and memories, her Bible sits open on the kitchen table. She is still leaving her legacy and I’ve picked up the mantle to “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.”
‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭2:15‬ ‭NIV‬‬ #womenintheword #biblestudy #nationalbookloversday #studytoshowthyselfapproved #bibleteacher #revival #amyelaineministries #faithjourney #currentlyreading #adventureswithmaverick #aussiesofinstagram ***please note, I haven’t finished reading these books so I don’t yet have a review or opinion…but was drawn to buy them for a variety of reasons and some were gifts! One was from a NEW WRITING friend—I was the first person she ever signed her new book for and it was a gift to meet her in person.
“You did it: you changed wild lament into whirli “You did it: you changed wild lament into whirling dance; You ripped off my black mourning band and decked me with wildflowers. I’m about to burst with song; I can’t keep quiet about you. God, my God, I can’t thank you enough.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭30:11-12‬ ‭MSG‬‬
IYKYK | Prayer is the posture for mourning. We cannot be silent. In time, He will turn our mourning into dancing. He draws near to the broken-hearted. We only need to be still. The Lord will fight for you. Be still. Wait on the Lord. He is faithful. He is still on the throne. He is trustworthy when all he’ll breaks loose. This is our posture—one of lament until the breakthrough comes. Humility. Prayer. Remnant. Remain. Steadfast.
Sacred spaces. Small moments. Big love. Just breat Sacred spaces. Small moments. Big love. Just breathe.  Hey sweet friend—Take a moment to enjoy this moment. Wherever you’re at today. Whatever big emotions are pulling at your heart. Close your eyes and just breathe in the gift of right here, right now. Wishing you the very best week ahead. Don’t quit…breakthrough is coming!
A Living Sacrifice: a life lived, a life spent, a A Living Sacrifice: a life lived, a life spent, a life poured out and offered back to God. Our culture doesn’t value sacrifice, but God does. In this life we get to choose to praise, making it a sacrifice. However, there will come a day when every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord. At that point, the sacrificial becomes less about an offering of praise and in some ways, won’t mean as much. When we don’t have a choice, when Jesus returns and takes His rightful place…worship will be compulsory as in His Presence we won’t be able to contain ourselves. So while we are here, in the now, while we have the opportunity to willingly surrender our hearts and praise to Him, let’s offer ourselves as a living sacrifice to point others to the goodness of God—to show them the life-changing love available, the freedom of forgiveness, the beauty of surrender. I know that’s deep for a Monday morning, but save this and come back to it—ponder it and see what He reveals to you. Where in your life are you holding back from total surrender to God? Is there something you need to lay down in order to pick up the new thing He has planned for you? Are there any areas where fear of lack has you hoarding what He would have you pour out as an offering, as a living sacrifice? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️ I’m asking myself these SAME questions and leaning in to listen intently. We can never out give God. A life poured out in service and love is rewarding beyond what we could ever imagine. Intentional Living is the key to a life of purpose. 💛AEM 👉 Meditate on this: “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:1-2‬ ‭ESV‬‬ #thegoodlife #amyelaineministries #worship #livingsacrifice #couragedearheart #intentionalliving #faithjourney #womenintheword
Life Update: You know how we said we’d never do Life Update: You know how we said we’d never do another remodel…well, that was a lie because that’s exactly what we’re doing! We bought some land with a house in need of a MaJOr ReNOvaTion so…we’re living in a TINY BARN until further notice. I thought I’d start sharing some pics with you because honestly, I’ve fallen in love with this little space. It’s only 600 square feet—kinda like an RV with no wheels 🛞 🛞 😀 we’ve been trying to give it a name and settled on something like the HONEY 🍯 HIVE HOUSE where we’re learning about 🐝 ing intentional and 🐝 ing grateful for the sweet things in life…the little things we may have taken for granted…the slower pace…the simpler way of fewer things and more living. There’s no tv 📺 and the internet is 💩 but the sound of the cicadas and locusts are almost deafening at times while the mornings are filled with the sacred silence of no neighbors and hardly any traffic. It’s definitely a place to make some sweet memories…laugh a little louder, linger a little longer. We’re not even in a rush to start on the main house because we are reveling in the “far niente—the sweetness of doing nothing.” There’s a never known before provision of peace in the midst of all.the.things swirling around, begging for our attention. But, we’re not giving into it. Our eyes are focused on the here and now, what is today, not on what it will be and for now that’s enough and it is sweet indeed. #maverick 🐶 approves of #tinybarnlife #thesweetlife #begrateful #farniente #intentionalliving #thesweetnessofdoingnothing #thehoneyhivehouse #honeydo #amyelaineministries #adventureswithmaverick #honeyintherock #worship
Fearlessly Following Jesus that’s my passion, my Fearlessly Following Jesus that’s my passion, my purpose. August has blown a fresh wind of renewal into my heart, soul, and mind. 

After a long season of questioning many things, really all.the.things, a gust of Holy Spirit has brought clarity and vision, a deeper sense of which way the Lord is leading. Now, I can see a clear path ahead. While the Unknown is ever before me, there’s been a rebirth of what I thought were dying dreams. Where I had questioned, God met me with fresh manna and new wine for communion with Him. Gone is the FOM (fear of man) breathing down my neck. In its place, the life-giving breath of God that once brought dead bones back to life. Blown away by the power of God, only what’s holy remains. 

Instead of being burdened down by heaviness in my heart, the atmosphere has changed, my perspective shifted. 

No longer looking from my limited POV (point of view)…
Suddenly, I can see from a Kingdom perspective. 
God has long been calling my heart to “Come up higher.” Admittedly, I’ve been afraid to step out into the greater things—the Holy Spirit promptings in my life, but no more. 

I prayed for boldness; He answered in a mighty way. This is the new norm, no longer leaning on my own understanding, but pressing onward towards REVIVAL. 

Lives are at stake, people are hurting, hearts are broken, minds deceived. For a lack of knowledge when we know the Truth. 

I won’t stand still nor remain stuck—paralyzed by all manner of fears. No, I will FEARLESSLY FOLLOW my God wherever He leads. 

Through the trembling…Beyond the borders of “it’s not perfect yet” or “I’m not prepared.” 

Truth is: There’s territory with our names on it. We were made for this; now is the time. 

🙏 Yes, Lord, send me. I want to walk out every bit of destiny You planned for me. Your bride’s being made ready. I declare “on earth as it is in heaven.” 

Jesus, have Your way; I surrender.

Freedom’s never felt this tangible. Timing never so imminent. In Your Presence is fullness of joy. Come Holy Spirit. Fall fresh on me. Every day. Every season. In everything.

I’m not holding back, shrinking back, or going back. I’m fearlessly following Jesus.
