Morning Prayer Summary for Friday, January 15, 2021

Peg Led Group in Worship…

Pastor Ray…

When you were singing last Friday about heaven and the angels, I looked up in the book of Revelation 7:11. “They cried out in a loud voice Salvation to our God who sits on the throne and to the Lamb and all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. And they fell face down before the throne and worshiped God saying, Amen. Blessing, glory, and wisdom and thanks, and honor, and power and strength be to our God forever and ever and ever. Amen.”

Then Revelation 4:4 “Surrounding the throne were 24 other thrones. And on those thrones sat 24 elders dressed in white with golden crowns on their heads.”

Revelation 4:6 “And before the throne was something like a sea of glass, as clear as crystal. And in the center around the throne were four living creatures, covered with eyes in front and back.” Verse eight. “And each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around and within; day and night they never stopped saying, “Holy Holy, Holy is the Lord, God almighty who was and is, and is to come.”

Revelation 4:10 says, “The 24 elders fall down before the one seated on the throne. And they worshiped him who lives forever and ever, and they cast their crowns before the throne.”

Hallelujah. It’s a heavenly picture, but let’s not ever get to the place where we’re not saying “Holy, Holy, Holy are you Lord. Great are you. Your mercy endures forever. You’re the same today that you were yesterday and you’ll be the same for each one of us individually and corporately together forever, tomorrow, all the days, and weeks and months and years.

Pastor Ray…

I wasn’t really planning on saying this. But it’s a testimony of something that happened yesterday. When we’re really truly aware of His presence and expect to be where we should be and do what we should do, I believe we’ll do it when opportunities arise. But this is just a short little thing that happened yesterday for Sandy and me. First of all, I had dropped her off during a mini blizzard. And it was a blessing that she was out and she was getting her hair done. And so I was outside the salon… how they are now, you have to call before you come. They have to let you in and almost let you out. But she was finished and no one had shoveled so there was a bunch of snow and it was slippery. So I helped her into the car and I got into the driver’s seat. And a stylist opened the door as we were just a couple parking spots down so we could see what was going on. And she opened the door and this elderly lady came and she let this lady just go on out in the snow. And the lady is holding onto the side of the building, trying to stay up. I looked to my left and saw her daughter or granddaughter. She’s sitting in the car. She rolled down the window and she’s saying something to the stylist, but no one’s helping the lady. I thought “That’s it.” And I just jumped out of the car and I think it scared her. I walked right up to her and said, “Ma’am, let me help you.” She said, “That’s okay.” I was like, “No, I’ll help you to the car.” Then she finally yielded to my help. She took hold of my arm and we walked over toward the car. And all the while I’m thinking, “why did this lady not get out of the car and help her?” And so I get her over there, open the door, get her in the car, and I was like, “Ma’am, your hair looks beautiful today.” Ha! I just laid it on! And so the lady in the car said, “Oh, thank you so much. I have a twisted ankle. That’s why I couldn’t get out. I was afraid we’d both go down in the snow and that would be a serious problem.” And so it was a little act. Jesus went around doing good. An opportunity shows up and I felt compelled to help that lady. And when I think about how we’re carriers of Him… I wasn’t able to pray with her, but I was able to help her and encourage her. That’s who we are. I know you would do that too. You do the same thing too. That’s who we are. We are on this earth for others. We’re not just on this earth for ourselves. And when His presence in us goes wherever we go in a city, in our neighborhood, wherever… He goes. I always look at it like that. He’s with us, if we’ll just yield and be ready and expecting to encourage someone. So I’m not lifting up myself. I’m just saying, let’s just do what we can do, you know?

So I really, really had this morning  that we focus on the body of Christ a little bit, because when we know that it’s His love, it’s His presence, His strength… and as we’ve said many times there’s only one thing that will change America and that’s a great awakening, a revival. And so yesterday I read a prophecy from Kenneth Hagin, so that got me going on something else from him by the Holy Spirit. I know this is true, but I remember times where we’d be in meetings where Kenneth Hagin would be ministering. And when he began to prophesize, this presence that we’re talking about this morning, was so evident. And more evident when you just pull up old videos… It’s the anointing that changes things. So this is for us as members of the body, and then I believe it’s for this time. So it was from 1989 at Winter Bible Seminar. The Holy Spirit said through him, “Don’t draw back.” The Holy Spirit is saying that today.

“Don’t draw back. The time is near. The time is at hand. No longer can you wait. No longer can you procrastinate. No longer can you say, “Well, you know, another day I’ll consecrate in a later day. I’ll wait on the Lord more in another day. I’ll spend more time with Him in another day I’ll put my flesh under.”

Boy, what do we say about that? Now is the time.

“No longer… Don’t draw back and don’t pull back. We’re speaking about the body of Christ. The Spirit of the Lord pleads with you saying come forward, more forward. Answer the call you hear in your heart. Answer the call here in your heart. Respond on to the Spirit of God. It’s not bad. It’s good. The price that would be paid in the flesh is nothing compared to the glory which shall be revealed. It’s not bad. Do not dread it. Do not draw back from it. It’s a lie. It’s a deception that’s held you back. It’s a deception that has caused you to draw back. Go on in, taste and see that the Lord is good. Taste and see the treasures of the things He has laid up for you. The things that your heart is hungry for, nothing else will satisfy your soul. Nothing else will give you the answer in your heart. Nothing else will make you feel complete. Nothing else will satisfy what you seek. Nothing else. So push in. Respond unto the Spirit of God; just lay those other things aside, humble the pride and fall before Him and weigh upon Him. And as you do, your soul will blossom, your spirit will spring forth. You will be a greater blessing unto your spouse. You’ll be a greater blessing unto your family because you will bloom forth. And you won’t be restricted like before, and you won’t be vexed like before and you won’t be hindered like before. Yea, you’ve done some things for them. You’ve drawn back. And you said it was for them, but you have not been a blessing to them in that the full blessing of the Lord was not upon thee. But if you shall press in though, it might seem to cost… that price in the beginning might seem like it costs you. It might seem like it costs them. Yea, but that’s the only way to get to the things that they desire and the things that you desire and the things that are needed. Yea, the things that must be in this hour, it cannot be delayed. It cannot be delayed. It must be now. Now, now, now is the time. So heed the call of the Spirit’s cry in your heart.

Group worships…

We yield to you Holy Spirit. We yield to you…

Pastor Ray continued…

Destinies are hanging in the balance… the plans and the purposes and the will… God’s will right out front… so we’ll watch… so we’ll move… we’ll take steps of faith… we’ll believe to be where we need to be… we believe doors, opportunities…. Oh, stay the course… in my center… in the middle of your plan…. come on over… over and in…we shall not draw back and we shall not fear… we’ll stay on it until we have it all… God would give year by year, increasing glory to glory and light to light, not doing it in the flesh, but by the fight of faith in His plan shall be accomplished and His way shall be straight… and then it shall be ready… He shall come… He shall not be late… and His people shall have done His bidding in His people shall have heard His voice… and His Spirit shall have reaped the harvest through the Church and His people shall rejoice… He calleth thee higher… He calleth us higher… continue to look down on lowly things on the ground, but look up and see what He has reserved for thee… and by faith, let your heart reach out and grasp and let the Spirit lift you up… then at last, you shall see what your eyes have longed to see… and you shall sense what your heart has craved, hungered to sense and you shall know what your mind has hungered to know… you shall do what you were created to do…

Thank you, Father… we lift up the body… every part of the body of Christ, every stream, every ministry, every pastor, every leader in the body of Christ today… that there’d be an increase in the spirit of knowing… that there’ll be an increase in the spirit of seeing and to know… and those things that were dropped aside shall be picked back up… Those things that were put on the shelf will be taken down… and walked out… No, we’ll not lean on just our minds and our thoughts, but we trust in your will and in your ways, and by the Spirit, we shall be led in these days… for these days shall be better… and these days shall be greater… and your manifested presence, as you promised, shall be much, much, much stronger… the church, the body of Christ… thank you for wholeness, health, restoration in the body, a great renewal, a great manifestation of your presence all over the body of Christ in every nation on the face of this earth… more, more, and more of your glory, from one degree of glory to another… your glory shall cover the whole earth…

Barb prayed…

There is more for you this year… there is more for you… just like the Israelites who dwelt in the land of Goshen, they were untouched… by the enemy… they were untouched by the plague… that land prospered and was protected… and they were blessed in that place… So God hides you in His place… He hides you in that land and under His protection, His divine protection, you shall remain and you will come up this year… and step into the place He has called you unto… and you will no longer be moved by that what you see and that what you hear, but you will be moved by the voice of the Spirit of God… the challenges will come… and the challenges will go and you will be victorious in all things… for you are His chosen ones… you are His anointed ones… and He has dispatched His ministering spirits to assist you this year… you will see an increase in angelic activity in your life…. in coordination… with your businesses… in your families, you will start to see the supernatural intervention… as a witness… as a witness, His witness… the earth… thank you, Father… there’s a breaking today… there’s a breaking by the Spirit of God… His anointing is breaking… those things that have held you in bondage are breaking today in Jesus’ name…  never to rise up again… the blood of Jesus cancels those things out today in the name of Jesus… the blood of Jesus has eliminated those things from your life in Jesus’ name… don’t let them rise up again… you hold the blood of Jesus there… you hold the blood of Jesus there… and in His mighty name, walk in victory this year in the name of Jesus… for this is the appointed time… this is the appointed time… and we are the appointed people… to carry out His plan… to walk in His power… to deliver… thank you, Jesus… let’s just press out… wade out into the deep…

there’s something else. Let’s press in… there’s something…

Pastor Ray…

I saw something… out front, out ahead, I sense this. There are some fears about … and I know this is for more than one person. There are some things out front that you’re not looking forward to, but the Lord says this morning, you are going to be on the other side of that thing that you didn’t exactly want to go through. But you will be on the other side of it quicker than a flash of light. And you’ll be on the other side and you’ll be walking in victory and the presence of God will have taken you through what you were not looking forward to. And you will be over on the victorious side… suddenly like a flash! For the days will have gone by, some things you dreaded… but here they are here and you’ll be over here looking back, able to say “thank you, Lord, for your faithfulness and your goodness and your mercy to take me through.” So today the Spirit of the Lord is taking us, the body of Christ, through. It’s like things on the sides, little fusses here and fusses there and fires over there, but the body of Christ is going through… steadfast in victory, all the way to the perfect plan and perfect will from heaven above. We thank you for it this morning. We know we can’t do it, but we know you did do it, so we receive. We see ourselves on the other side of a lot of things in that victorious walk that you preplanned for each one of us. We thank you for it.

All of the praise and glory, the thanksgiving Lord, we give it to you. We thank you for this day in Jesus’ name. Amen. Hallelujah! Happy Friday, and Saturday and Sunday, and the rest of your lives! We’re blessed. Thank you for tuning in and coming this morning. Amen.
