Pastor Ray…
Yesterday, I was looking for a certain CD from the past. I found a CD from Vicki Jamison-Peterson from a church in Alabama, Glory to Him Fellowship. I put it on and she started to sing in other tongues. She kept singing and singing. Then all of a sudden, there was a higher voice in the background and it was Sharon Stromley. She can sing so high that she could break glass. Ha, ha. All of a sudden, Sharon is singing. Then I heard another voice and it was Lucy McKee. They were all flowing together, singing in the Holy Ghost. Vicki began to sing English words. It was like, “We’re on the threshold … we’re at the door… we’re called for more.” Kind of like that. They began to go with that, moving together in harmony. It was high and it was lifting Him up. But it was also a declaration. I take it for us in these days that we’re at that place where by faith that we take that and seize it and keep moving forward. Knowing that we’re going through for more. It was such a blessing. It went on and on and on. They just kept flowing with it. Lucy McKee and Vicki Jamison-Peterson are now in heaven. To me, they were faith heroes or prayer heroes.
I saw this yesterday by someone named R.A. Torrey. He said, “We live in a day characterized by the multiplication of man’s machinery and the diminution of God’s power. The cry of our day is work, work, work, organize, organize, organize, give us some new society, tell us some new methods, devise some new machinery. But the great need of our day is prayer, more prayer and better prayer.” He based it on Matthew 21:13, He said to them, the scripture says, “My house shall be called a house of prayer.”
We are God’s house of prayer. We use it for this ministry: this house shall be called a house of prayer. But we’re all members of the same body and we are “houses” of prayer. When we lift Him up we connect with heaven. We’re reminded of what He’s done and what He will do, that He is the way maker where there is no way.
Thank You, Lord. Our faith and trust is in You, not just today but every day.
I wanted us to use our faith. Yesterday, we made a declaration “By the stripes of Jesus we were healed.” No matter what it looks like or feels like. No matter what anyone says. We also made some prosperity declarations. I saw another group of scriptures that I wanted to go through. The first are for healing.

Exo. 23:25, I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

James 5:16, Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.
1 Pet. 2:24, By whose stripes ye were healed.
