Morning Prayer Summary for Friday, August 09, 2019

Pastor Ray…

I wanted to share with you something. I was looking for a book by brother Hagin called Growing Up Spiritually. I don’t have that book, but I’m getting it. The story I wanted to share was when brother Hagin had a vision and went to heaven. Brother Hagin does have a book “I Believe in Visions” but it’s not in there. Brother Hagin shared that he went to heaven. Before that, his sister had died prematurely and he could never get her healed. That always bothered him because he could always get his family and relatives healed. But he couldn’t get his sister healed. In a vision he went to heaven and met his sister. So his big question to her was “Why did you die? Why didn’t you get healed?” Jesus was there too. She said, “I love where I am. This is where I want to be. But just so you know, there are things that you don’t know, you didn’t know, you won’t know… (maybe he’ll know when he gets to heaven). But, anyway, she said, “You can do something on earth with my daughter.” She had had some kind of brain problems, mental problems. In those days, they’d use shock treatment. His niece had shock treatments, and she was like “not there” anymore. Her mind was gone. Jesus said, “All sickness, disease is spiritual.” You can do something about your niece. In other words, you won’t know about your sister; there are some things you don’t know. So he came out of the vision. And he attended a meeting. He wasn’t the speaker. During the message, the pastor said, “Brother Hagin, I’m getting that you have something that you need to give.” So he got up and his niece happened to be in that service. He called her up. They had to assist her to get up there. He said it was one of the harder revelations that he ever had to deal with, that it’s all spiritual. It’s not natural. It’s spiritual. So when he finally got the revelation of it, he called up his niece, laid hands on her and took authority over what had come against her. And she was completely restored right there. Everything was normal.

This morning when I was going through his book, “I Believe in Visions,” I saw something in the chapter entitled, “How Satan Influences Lives Today.” He uses Mark 16:15–18:

“Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”

If we lay hands on the sick, we have to be in faith knowing it is a spiritual thing and we have authority over that, that’s come against them. And when we lay hands on them, they shall recover. So I’m going to read this excerpt.

[Jesus is speaking] “One of the first signs mentioned that will follow believers is that they should cast out devils. That means that in My Name they will exercise authority over the devil. I delegated My authority over the devil to the Church, and I can work only through the Church, for I am the Head of the Church.

“In writing to believers, James said, Resist the devil and he will flee from you (James 4:7). James didn’t say to get God to resist the devil for you. He said, ‘You resist the devil and he will flee from you.’”

I looked up the word “flee” in the dictionary later and saw that one definition is to run from as in terror. As I heard that, I remembered how the evil spirits in the vision had fled when I had rebuked them. And since then, I have seen them quake and quiver in fear as I exercised my God-given authority over them. They were not afraid of me, but rather of Jesus, whom I represent.

Jesus continued, “Peter said, Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). What are you going to do: Throw up your hands and say, ‘I am whipped’? No, a thousand times no! We read in First Peter 5:9, Whom resist steadfast in the faith… You couldn’t resist the devil if you didn’t have authority over him. But you do have authority over him, and that is why you can resist him.

“Paul said in his writings to the Church at Ephesus, Neither give place to the devil (Eph. 4:27). This means you are not to give the devil any place in you. He cannot take any place unless you give him permission to do so. And you would have to have authority over him or this wouldn’t be true.”

Then Jesus said to me, “Here are your four witnesses: I am the first, James is the second, Peter is the third, and Paul is the fourth. These are the four witnesses I told you I would give instead of just two or three. This establishes the fact that the believer has authority on earth, for I have delegated my authority over the devil to you on the earth. If you don’t do anything about rebuking the devil, then nothing will be done, and that is why many times nothing is done.”

Then I said, “Lord, You have told me about only three categories of evil spirits: the rulers of the darkness of this world, the powers, and the principalities. What about the wicked spirits in the heavenlies?”

He said, “You take care of the ones on earth. I will take care of those in the heavenlies.”

Jesus exhorted me to be faithful, saying, “Fulfill your ministry. Be faithful, for the time is short.” Then He disappeared.

I realized that I was still on my knees in the kitchen of that parsonage, and about an hour and a half had passed while I was caught up in this vision.

Pastor Ray…

That’s a word to us. Be faithful for the time is short. But do what He’s called us to do. To me that’s a big key. What has He called you to do? What has He called me to do? He’s given us authority. But like He said, a lot of times, we don’t use it or maybe we use it carelessly or maybe we don’t even mean it. I don’t know. But it’s up to us to do what He’s given us to do. Use the authority, declare it, believe it, and see it come to pass. There is no weapon formed against us that can prosper. When Pastor Mac stood up and said, “We draw a line.” I told someone a few days later, “Well, you know how that is, when you draw a line, then the devil gets ramped up.” Then later I realized, “No way. No we draw a line and that line is the blood and it’s protecting us against the devil.” So we can say no weapon formed against us can prosper. We have authority over him and we’re not letting him in. There is no door for him to access.

Do you have anything Marie? It’s her birthday today. Happy Birthday. I’d sing but that would be bad.

Marie…

I shared this with my prayer group. A few months ago, Lynne took time to teach us about the importance of walking in love. All the devil can do is lie to us. He’s been defeated. And all he does is lie. He works away at your confidence. Therefore do not cast away your confidence, that you have that authority. He gave you the keys, that you are the anointed one because He is the anointed one. And if you’re a Christian, you carry that anointing. Whether you realize it or not, you are the anointed one and you fulfill Isaiah 61. The anointing has come upon me, Jesus then closed the book. He said, this day that scripture Isaiah 61 is fulfilled in your sight. Why? Because He is the anointed one. Then He handed the keys to us. Right before Jesus left, He gave us those keys. Now we have that authority.

So whether we know it or not, the enemy knows it, and he will try to eat away, eat away, eat away at your authority. Because that’s the only thing… If you don’t know what you’re doing, what is coming against you, you don’t know how to plead the blood and draw that blood line in the spirit realm that, that thing “this far and no further shall it come.” Okay? We have to draw the line. We have to speak the Word. We have to stand strong. We’ve got to keep our minds renewed. But it all works by love. Faith works by love. And Lynne thought this was so important that she interrupted a lot of her teachings on prayer to talk to us about love. Receiving one another. And the biggest thing out there that erodes our faith are words. Because we shape things with our words and we get shaped by words. So what happens is old patterns from your past, however you were formed, whatever words helped frame you whether good or evil, the enemy will bring those back through social media. It will erode the faith, the whole garment, it’s like a blanket. He starts to unravel the faith of the saints in the United States of America. If he can unravel that… then he tells you God isn’t real. You’ve fallen for lies. See that’s the real message he is trying to give you. My point is, we erode our faith. We have to be faithful. Jesus said to be faithful. Keep your faith, walk in order. Keep your love walk in order. We don’t rail against flesh and blood. We don’t have to tell everybody, argue with strangers over politics. That’s what the enemy would like to see us do. Tear down, tear down. Tear down the church. Unravel that blanket of faith. You know that there be more with us than be with them. Did you know that a lot of those Christians, they’re just caught in a trap of arguments. And that weakens their faith. If they don’t  know their authority, they certainly don’t know it now. Because that they get caught up in emotion. It’s the hardest thing to do because your flesh wants to retaliate and scream out. But why waste your breath when it’s already been finished. So we stand our ground and hold our peace. We stand firm in these last days. We say, I’m the anointed one. As long as you have your blood line drawn, those spirits cannot attack you.
