Thank You for Your presence, Holy Spirit
Scripture focus…
Beginning in Hebrew 4:
(1–3) For as long, then, as that promise of resting in him pulls us on to God’s goal for us, we need to be careful that we’re not disqualified. We received the same promises as those people in the wilderness, but the promises didn’t do them a bit of good because they didn’t receive the promises with faith. If we believe, though, we’ll experience that state of resting. But not if we don’t have faith. Remember that God said,
Exasperated, I vowed,
“They’ll never get where they’re going,
never be able to sit down and rest.”
(3-7) God made that vow, even though he’d finished his part before the foundation of the world. Somewhere it’s written, “God rested the seventh day, having completed his work,” but in this other text he says, “They’ll never be able to sit down and rest.” So this promise has not yet been fulfilled. Those earlier ones never did get to the place of rest because they were disobedient. God keeps renewing the promise and setting the date as today, just as he did in David’s psalm, centuries later than the original invitation:
Today, please listen,
don’t turn a deaf ear . . .
(8–11) And so this is still a live promise. It wasn’t canceled at the time of Joshua; otherwise, God wouldn’t keep renewing the appointment for “today.” The promise of “arrival” and “rest” is still there for God’s people. God himself is at rest. And at the end of the journey we’ll surely rest with God. So let’s keep at it and eventually arrive at the place of rest, not drop out through some sort of disobedience.
(12–13) God means what he says. What he says goes. His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense, laying us open to listen and obey. Nothing and no one is impervious to God’s Word. We can’t get away from it—no matter what.
(14–16) Now that we know what we have—Jesus, this great High Priest with ready access to God—let’s not let it slip through our fingers. We don’t have a priest who is out of touch with our reality. He’s been through weakness and testing, experienced it all—all but the sin. So let’s walk right up to him and get what he is so ready to give. Take the mercy, accept the help. Hebrews 4:1-16 (MSG)
So let’s just walk right up to Him because we have been given access through the blood. He experienced everything except the sin, so we walk right up to Him and we get what He is so ready to give. And what’s that? His mercy and His help. Hallelujah.
Nothing has been cancelled. It is up to us to not drop out, drop to the side through some sort of disobedience and even when it looks impossible, even when it is impossible, it’s not impossible. It is possible for all things are possible in the name that is above every other name and that blood that was shed at Calvary back then is working on our behalf up here today. For we have moved so far ahead from back there but there is still much more ahead out there that we have been called to move out into. And so by faith not as the people who were out in the wilderness that did not use faith, did not believe, did not receive, never arrived at their destination, we will arrive at our destination. By faith we walk by faith, we speak by faith, we live and we’ve been cleansed by that precious holy blood. Everything, every detail about our past, it’s out, it’s gone, done, cleansed by the blood, covered.
Prayed…
This morning we take steps out into the future covered by the blood
We take our direction from heaven
We believe and we receive by faith for the things that we have been called to do
Stepping into that call connected and compacted together
Walking in one accord, unity, in the same direction
Covered under the same blood of Jesus
Thank You for the Great Commission
For the laborers that will go out
For we know the harvest is white, ready
Not leaning on our own understanding
Yielding, giving ourselves over, getting into our spirits
Letting our spirits dominate our flesh
Today we take authority over our flesh!
For we have overcome through that precious blood because You overcame
Everything is working out right – all of it!
Things have already been restored
They have already been made right through the power of the Holy Spirit
Through the blood that was shed at the cross on Calvary
Thank You for what was done on that cross
We honor the cross, the blood, the name that is above every other name
We know we can’t quit; we know we won’t quit based on Your Word, based on the power of Your precious Holy Spirit
We will go all the way!
Some other things have already begun to turn around, so don’t sweat it. I just got that in my spirit. Some other things have already begun to turn around, so don’t sweat it, don’t get out of faith, don’t get over into fear, don’t question about how it will turn out. It shall turn out right, sayeth the Lord, for it’s already been done and the battle has been won and the blood has already restored. Hallelujah!
We lift up the full master plan
Answers, help, revelation, insight into mysteries
Uncovering hidden things and opening and revealing them today in Jesus’ name
The lost, they shall be found
What was taken away, it shall be restored!
Times of restoration, times of redirection, times of help
Suddenly things will turn from impossible to possible!
And then it will be seen, and then it will be walked in and completely and totally received in Jesus’ name
Health, wholeness, wellness, prosperity of every kind – spirit, soul, and body!
In time, this time, it is the time now
So we do take our rest today
It was finished on the cross
Thank You for the blood today!
Hallelujah
For smooth transitions from one position to another
One position of authority to a greater position of authority
We take rest, we receive rest,
We take wellness, we receive wellness
We lift up the name that is above every other name
Declaring that name from one shore to another
From the north to the south from the east to the west
The blood is over this nation!
Our leaders – we thank You for the blood
We have overcome by the blood and we testify!
The battle has already been won!
No we are not going to lean over unto that, but we lean over unto You
We trust Your Word, Your will, and Your plans
Those things that were plugged up, be opened up
Those steps that were blocked, be unblocked in Jesus’ name
By the blood of the Lamb!
We are entering in where we are called to be!
No weapon or hindrance shall hold us back
Every mandate, every call from heaven, every declaration from heaven
As it is in heaven, it shall be here on earth
Hallelujah! Glory, glory, glory!
We give all of the glory back up unto You, Lord! Thank You!
Your Word does not just come down to this earth and bounce up and go back
But it does what it was planned to do
Thank You for heaven’s rain and rains
Thank You for revival
Not the same deal or the same old way but these are new days and these are Your ways
And these are great highways and we are moving out on it
Praying over every ministry gift in Jesus’ name
Over the evangelist, pastors, prophet, apostle
All of the fivefold we cover in the precious blood
The Church is up and being raised up – there is increase today
Interesting, unusual – those are changes, opportunities, they are ways through, they are ways into
Day after day after day, more and more and more
Showing and revealing!
Every step into uncharted territories
Your steps have been ordered, they are set
Step, step, step, fear not
As you run, as you walk the steps will be ordered, the door will be opened
Rejoice the victory is yours
We take that personally, individually – our steps our ordered
Don’t sweat it!
They have been lined up, it’s working out, it’s being worked out
You will know the door when it’s time to go through it
You will know the way when it’s time to walk in that way
You will know the plan when it’s time to step into that plan
It shall be illuminated, revealed by My Spirit
It shall be uncovered and you will know the way to go!
So it’s a place of rest, a place of peace, joy, and comfort
It’s a miracle place; it’s a place that has been assigned
It’s all new, these are all new steps
These are not old steps or steps backward
These are steps ahead, new positions that you have been called unto
It is different, it will always be different!

I hear the Lord say He is not looking for gold vessels. He is not looking for brass or bronze. He is looking for yielded vessels. And the Lord says as David brought lunch to his brothers his steps were ordered that day. When he arrived, he arrived with cheese and refreshments expecting to just serve. And he said “Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that dare defy the armies of the living God?” His brothers looked at him and said “Who is minding the sheep?” But David said “Is there not a cause?” Looking at Goliath, he said “You come at me with swords and knives, but I come to you in the name of the Lord God Jehovah.”
Is there not a cause today? God is calling you and ordering the steps of every yielded vessel. You are good enough. You are prepared and you are called and chosen for such a time as this. I picked you.
A word of the Lord came forth…
So watch and see and walk into what you see by Your Spirit for My Spirit continually always shows you the way, shows you the way to go, shows you the steps to take. You will be right where you needed to be for Me to use you to do what I have called you to do. Oh, yes it is a place of rest. Yes, it’s a place of peace. Even bridges will be built if necessary, sayeth the Lord. Places that you can go on over, step on over, walk up and walk over instead of being held back by some kind of attack. So, you will stay on the go, you’ll stay in the flow and My Word shall be fulfilled and carried and worked out. In the same way that this is Tuesday which follows after Monday, Wednesday follows after. For the steps that you take always lead to another step that you should take and make. I am calling My Church into some new steps. That means the positions of authority in the body, in the Church, ministers, and pastors.
There is a freedom in and through that precious blood
Today we declare it over these leaders
Some are right at the doorposts ready to go through
We declare “Go through in victory in Jesus’ name!”
Thank You for it
I can see those steps (singing in the Spirit)
Hallelujah there is a way!
Pastor Paul shared…
I just sense so much liberty by the Spirit of God. The Bible tells us we are called unto liberty but we should not use our liberty for occasion of the flesh. So, Father, I give you glory for the liberty that you have called us unto. Father, anything that constrains or binds or holds captive is not of liberty and it is not of the Spirit of Christ. We have been called unto liberty. Father, this is awesome that we can think about these things and see the dominion in them. We can see Your purpose in them. We can see Your empowerment through them. We can see the authority You have released as a result of them. We give You the glory. We magnify Your name and we exalt You, Father, for the simplicity of the Gospel. This is marvelous in our eyes. Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God. How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out.
This is awesome, Father! I give You the glory, Father. We bless You for we, through the Spirit, wait for the hope of righteousness through faith. Walking in the Spirit and not fulfill the desires of the flesh. That we can walk in the Spirit and walk with You and as a result, walk in Your timing, walk in Your revelation, walk in the now, walk in hope, walk in the power, walk in relevance, walk in authority, walk in the know! This is awesome! We give You the glory!
In the natural, we deal with fruits. Spiritual prayers deal with roots. So many times when we are praying, we are not praying in the Spirit like we do here, you will be dealing with fruits. But when you pray in the Spirit, the Spirit of Christ reveals to you the roots. Hallelujah! So, when you are dealing with fruits, you will pluck down the fruit from a tree you want to maim or kill but because the root system is still there, the fruits will regrow. But if you by the Spirit of Christ have the revelation of what the Word tells concerning the problem, you will deal with the roots. And when you deal with the roots, the fruits die. Glory to God!
So, most bondages that people find themselves in are because they are dealing with fruits. They are not dealing with the roots. Once you see a persistent problem, it continues day after day, month after month, year after year, you need to question “Lord, am I dealing with the roots or the fruits?” From hence forth, Father, we deal with the roots. That’s why when Jesus was trying to uproot a tree, He did not deal with the fruits. He dealt with the roots. Hallelujah! Glory to God!
We cannot afford to waste time dealing with fruits. We have to redeem the time. So, we go by the Spirit of Christ to the root system and we replace the root system where it needs to be replaced. We that are children of God have been planted into Christ. Therefore we have a new root system. That’s why He said “That your fruits may remain” because we are planted into Him. Hallelujah!
Pastor Ray commented…
Right before you said that Pastor Paul about the roots, I saw this. While we pray in the Spirit out in front of us there was a lot of wrong fruit. There were a lot of things bubbling, bouncing, just different hindrances out front. But as we prayed in the Holy Ghost it was like a huge, spiritual blanket that was laid out in front of us and it covered up, and it killed off those hindrances or all that wrong fruit that would maybe out in front of us. Then, when you started to say that by the Spirit, it got right to the root and killed it off. And that blanket was big enough not just for us individually but for the whole body. It was a supernatural covering out front that enabled us to walk through hindrance free (ha, ha, ha) in that freedom, in that abundance, in that place that we have been called to walk out our race. Fear was in there, doubt was out there, (ha, ha, ha!).
Thank You, Father, that we have overcome by the blood!
And that’s a picture of the blood working on our behalf!
Hallelujah! We are overcoming because the blood overcame!
Thank You for it, Lord!
We set our sights out ahead
Taking that place of rest in You everyday
Settle back and go forward in rest in You, Lord
Every turn we will know to take it
If it is Your will, our destiny
Thank You for it, Lord, hallelujah
The following is a prayer for our nation by Pastor Lynne Hammond:
Father, in the name of Jesus, and according to your Word, we pray for those in authority in our nation. We lift up President Donald Trump, his family, his staff and cabinet members. Let Your Word cling to them and let them not depart from your plan. Strengthen them with mighty power by your Spirit to stand against wickedness, lies and deception. Guide President Trump’s decisions; let Your light shine upon his path and show him the path of reversal for every evil way. Continually surround him with godly men and women who impart wise counsel to him. Cause the way of the wicked to be set to confusion and come to nothing. Deliver us from the traps and snares the enemy has laid for us, and let the wicked be caught in their own devises and be brought to shame.
We take authority over the plots and plans of the enemy against this nation. Let prideful and lying lips be silenced in Jesus’ name. Slanderers will not be established in America. We pray for our Congress, our Supreme Court, our Military leaders and our intelligence agencies. Let the wisdom that is from above reign in this nation and be constantly speaking to our leaders. We exercise the authority you have given us to tread down all the power of the enemy. We cast down and demolish imaginations and arguments that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God, and we bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. We bind spirits of strife and division, civil wars and tumults, spirits of hostility, lawlessness and blasphemy, and fires from hell that have burned in our cities.
We speak grace and peace over America. We pray and believe for the voice of truth, salvation, revival and restoration to be proclaimed and heard across our land. Grant unto your servants everywhere that with all boldness we may speak your Word. We pray for a mighty outpouring of your Spirit with signs, wonders and miracles. We expect the wisdom of this world that is earthly, sensual and devilish to depart and vanish until Your, mighty work in America becomes a beacon of hope for all people everywhere. We expect the voice of rejoicing to be heard in our nation for your goodness, mercy and prosperity, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
