Pastor Amstutz led group in worship…

Pastor Ray shared…

Pastor Tim, when you started singing, welcoming and lifting Him up and singing about His presence, all of a sudden, this little short prophecy flashed before me. It’s all about the presence and it came through Pastor Lynne in 1993. It’s in her book, The Master Is Calling. He is calling us and saying to each of us to “come up. Come unto Me.” That’s what we want to do. Lord, we want to yield and humble ourselves before You. We want to turn out lives over to You completely and totally. We lay it all on the altar… our families, our churches, the body of Christ, our nation, the earth. Hallelujah! Listen to this prophecy. It’s called “Time for Change.”

Time for a Change
Lynne Hammond: 02/07/93

I said you’d be changed in My presence, saith the Lord. If you have not experienced change in your life, if your old ways are still prevailing, if your old man is still in evidence, you have not spent the time with Me that I desire. It isn’t a matter of self-control or disciplining your flesh with no help from Me, saith God. If you’ll spend time in My presence, you will be changed. Your pattern of life will be changed. Your old man will begin to pass away. Your new man will begin to rise in the image of My Son. Your life will begin to bear much fruit. The evidence of your walk with Me will change as a result of spending much time in My presence.

If you’re having trouble getting rid of an old habit, if you’re having trouble with your marriage, if your family relationships aren’t changing, you’re not spending the time with Me that would enable that change to come to pass. Your desire and the motivation of your heart to walk uprightly before Me is a product of becoming so close to Me that you do not want to bring hurt to Me.

In natural relationships, when you love someone you want to do the right things for them. You don’t want to hurt them. Well, as you spend time with Me, saith God, as you spend time in My presence, we’ll develop a relationship that is closer than any earthly relationship. It will shape the pattern of your living. You’ll want to conform your ways to My Word simply because it’s the desire of your heart. Your life will change; but it will be a product of your spending time with me.

Pastor Ray…

In our hearts, we just push aside things that are may be okay but they keep us away from this place, the Presence place. It’s where we want to be. It’s where we need to be. We want to spend more time in Your presence, Lord. We yield to You.

Group continues to worship…

Prayed…

We lift up that name… Jesus… the name that is above every other name… we magnify Your name, Lord… Your name is above every other name… every other plan or step… we take our place this morning in heavenly places to speak, to pray, to declare… to command the enemy to move out of the way… we use the authority You’ve given us … where we see things not living up to Your will and Word and plans, we use the authority and the blood… we declare the blood of Jesus over our lives… over our plans… Your will… we want to be saturated… we’re hungry and thirsty… thank You, Father… we pray the blood covering over this church… over each one of you that are tuning in this morning or tonight… we plead the blood over every person, every family that calls Living Word Christian Center their home… be it here in the main campus, St. Paul, Northwest… we plead the blood and declare that covering and protection even the direction that comes through the power of that blood… we see the surrounding protection so we can say “no weapon formed against us will prosper”… we pray over our Pastors, Mac and Lynne, their family… we pray over them… the steps, the revelations, the ideas, the vision, the call, the plan that you’ve given to each one of them… we join ourselves in agreement that we will fulfill our pastors moving out ahead… we’re going places where we’ve never gone before… we back them up…

Pastor Ray…

I want to read a couple verses from Jude from the Message translation, beginning in verse 17:

17-19 But remember, dear friends, that the apostles of our Master, Jesus Christ, told us this would happen: “In the last days there will be people who don’t take these things seriously anymore. They’ll treat them like a joke, and make a religion of their own whims and lusts.” These are the ones who split churches, thinking only of themselves. There’s nothing to them, no sign of the Spirit!
20-21 But you, dear friends, carefully build yourselves up in this most holy faith by praying in the Holy Spirit, staying right at the center of God’s love, keeping your arms open and outstretched, ready for the mercy of our Master, Jesus Christ. This is the unending life, the real life!
22-23 Go easy on those who hesitate in the faith. Go after those who take the wrong way. Be tender with sinners, but not soft on sin. The sin itself stinks to high heaven.
24-25 And now to him who can keep you on your feet, standing tall in his bright presence, fresh and celebrating—to our one God, our only Savior, through Jesus Christ, our Master, be glory, majesty, strength, and rule before all time, and now, and to the end of all time. Yes.”

Pastor Ray continued…

So we’ve been pre-warned and alerted. These things would begin to take place. But are we moved? Not by those things. But we are moved by Him, by heaven’s ways, His Words, His plans.

In my Amplified Bible, it makes it a little more clear about praying in other tongues or praying in the spirit and building ourselves up. I want us to do that and for you that are tuning in over the Internet, just pray out a little while in other tongues. Maybe you’ve not been baptized in the Holy Spirit. It’s so easy. Just ask. Once you yield, just ask the Holy Spirit to fill you and baptize you and just begin to… you can sing, you can speak. Maybe you might only get a few words, but it’ll increase as you go. The baptism of the Holy Ghost is necessary for us and especially in these days. To be saturated with the Spirit, filled up, and then pray in other tongues, praying out the things we don’t know about. So we don’t want to just pray out of our minds. We want to stay in our hearts. In one way, we’re built up and one way that we pray out things that need to be prayed out by praying in other tongues. We’ll do that for a while this morning.

Group begins to pray in the spirit…

Your hand, Lord… supernatural changes… in these last days… we enter… we step up… we yield to heaven in these days… yeah, numbers are adding up… moving up… today, today… for the church is rising up… the orders, the orders… we cover those orders… we cover those plans… see it … grab hold of it… it’s turning… things are turning… things are being rearranged… new ideas are coming forth… a lifting has already begun… our expectation must move up too… we expect Your will, Your plan, purposes… we’re directed by Your Spirit… open our ears, Lord… I want to hear what You’re saying…

Groups sings in the spirit…

Pastor Ray…

There’s such power praying together in one accord, lifting our voices. Brother Hagin once said that when people begin to pray corporately, there are places that we go that we can’t go alone. When we lift our voices in one accord, we’re in unity, he said I can’t prove it in the Word, but I know that it’s true. We have the same Holy Ghost given power that Jesus had when He walked on the face of the earth. So there’s power in one accord, in unity. That’s why we declare it over our country, that our country would move from division, separated, moving into unity. One nation under God. Thank You, Father. I want to pray this confession over our President and the decisions that must be made, plans that have to be carried out.

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.
