Pastor Ray…
Holy Spirit, thank You so much for Your presence in this room and in our lives today. You are not moved by ice or storms -You are the One that overcomes them. Thank You, Holy Spirit of the Living God, we honor and reverence who You are. We worship, magnify You Lord, give You glory, honor, all of the praise. Thank You for Your help, assistance, direction; for the peace that comes in Your presence and through Your presence. Once again we require it. It’s a necessity for us. It’s all about You. Thank You for the power of Your Word, that You are still the same, You have not changed, Your Word is the same, it’s not changed. Thank You Lord, hallelujah, glory.
Scripture focus…
(1-3) So come on, let’s leave the preschool finger painting exercises on Christ and get on with the grand work of art. Grow up in Christ. The basic foundational truths are in place: turning your back on “salvation by self-help” and turning in trust toward God; baptismal instructions; laying on of hands; resurrection of the dead; eternal judgment. God helping us, we’ll stay true to all that. But there’s so much more. Let’s get on with it!
(4-8) Once people have seen the light, gotten a taste of heaven and been part of the work of the Holy Spirit, once they’ve personally experienced the sheer goodness of God’s Word and the powers breaking in on us-if then they turn their backs on it, washing their hands of the whole thing, well, they can’t start over as if nothing happened. That’s impossible. Why, they’ve re-crucified Jesus! They’ve repudiated him in public! Parched ground that soaks up the rain and then produces an abundance of carrots and corn for its gardener gets God’s “Well done!” But if it produces weeds and thistles, it’s more likely to get cussed out. Fields like that are burned, not harvested.
(9-12) I’m sure that won’t happen to you, friends. I have better things in mind for you salvation things! God doesn’t miss anything. He knows perfectly well all the love you’ve shown him by helping needy Christians, and that you keep at it. And now I want each of you to extend that same intensity toward a full-bodied hope, and keep at it till the finish. Don’t drag your feet. Be like those who stay the course with committed faith and then get everything promised to them. God Gave His Word
(13-18) When God made his promise to Abraham, he backed it to the hilt, putting his own reputation on the line. He said, “I promise that I’ll bless you with everything I have-bless and bless and bless!” Abraham stuck it out and got everything that had been promised to him. When people make promises, they guarantee them by appeal to some authority above them so that if there is any question that they’ll make good on the promise, the authority will back them up. When God wanted to guarantee his promises, he gave his word, a rock-solid guarantee-God can’t break his word. And because his word cannot change, the promise is likewise unchangeable.
(19-20) We who have run for our very lives to God have every reason to grab the promised hope with both hands and never let go. It’s an unbreakable spiritual – lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God where Jesus, running on ahead of us, has taken up his permanent post as high priest for us, in the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews 6 (1-20) MSG
Pastor Ray…
I like the way it reads in the Message “We who have run for our very lives to God with everything we have, we have every reason to grab the promised hope with both hands and never let go.”
Father, we thank You for Your Word, Your Words that are true, that are right, that promise hope for the future. Thank You for what You said here in this chapter. You promised that You would bless us with everything that you have and that You would bless and bless and bless. And we know, Father, that means comfort, prosperity, happiness, all kinds of perseverance, endurance, favor, divine care, help, prosperity in spirit, soul and body. Thank You, Lord. We turn our eyes, look up and look at what You have said in Your Word and know that it is true. You have not left us. Precious Holy Spirit, we have You within us. You’re working through us. You are doing things in us and through us that a lot of times we didn’t even know we needed to have done. But we know that You are working through us and even when we maybe don’t necessarily know it or feel it or sense it, we still know that You’re working in our behalf. For the blood of the Lamb has caused us, each one of us individually to overcome in every area. So, we take that by faith, we have faith in what Your words have said. By faith we take it upon ourselves, we grab hold of the promises that are yes and they are amen. And I’ll declare this morning by Your Spirit “Things are changing!” Things are changing; things will never stay the way they were. Status quo has got to go and things are changing because You’ve called forth by Your written Word and by the power of Your Spirit declarations, declaring things are changing. We grab hold of it. We take it by faith. We receive it by faith. We hold fast unto it and we will not let go! For we have overcome through that precious Holy blood of Your dear Son. We have overcome so therefore those that we come in contact with, those that we lay hands upon, they too overcome by the blood, by Your presence, and by Your power.
Thank You for that name Jesus that is over every other name. Thank You that we’ve overcome through that name. There is no weapon, no plan of the enemy that can overcome that name, the name of Jesus. For every knee will bow, every tongue will confess that Jesus’ is Lord, hallelujah.
A harvest, we pray over the harvest, not just souls but we do cover souls, those that have never heard. We cover the harvest for the things that need to come forth in these hours and these days… An abundance of change, an abundance of hope, an abundance for the future… Expectation about how things will turn out, expectation about how they’ll move and how they’ll change and the picture, Father, we see the picture that You’ve given unto each one of us individually and those that we know, our families, relatives, churches, pastors, those in positions of authority in our nation. We see in You pictures of health, wholeness, wealth, and prosperity of every kind. Thank You for it Father.
Lord, this morning we hold up our nation, the United States of America. We lift it up before heaven, before You Father this morning. Thank You, Father, that we have assembled together in one accord believing for the absolute best for the United States. We connect ourselves with other pray-ers that are praying daily for this nation – those praying in the White House every day, hallelujah! Harvest, harvest, fields that are ripe, that are ready, harvest, harvest time, harvest days, harvest weeks, harvest months… We come against this morning, every work of the enemy that’s continually tried to come against the Church, the Church of the Lord Jesus, be it individually or be it corporately in Jesus’ name. We stand in and with the blood of the Lamb this morning and we declare it! We hold it forth! We command the work of the enemy to be stopped in Jesus’ name! Where the enemy has come and come and come, Father, we know we have Your Word based on what You said in Your Word. Your Spirit will come and raise up the standard and push back the flood of the enemy! So, we contend with that Word, call for the that high standard from heaven today and break off some things that seemingly could not be broken off! We command the works of the enemy to stop in Jesus’ name. Stop it! Desist in your maneuvers. Every enemy, every lack, every work of the devil, we command you to stop in Jesus’ name. Words that are untrue, lies from the enemy that tried to derail Your plan Father and Your purpose, we cut them off, resist them in Jesus’ name.
Words, Your Words Lord, we stand on Your Words Father, knowing what You said this morning in the book of Hebrews. You’ve not changed! Thank You that You are still the same. Your Word is right. Your Word is true, and Your Word is the same! Hallelujah! For we have overcome. We’ve overcome because of what was done on the Cross at Calvary. We witness through Your Word and by the power of Your Spirit, the power of the blood. And You said they overcame by and through the power of that blood so therefore we declare “We overcome by the blood!” Thank You for it Lord!
Things that were broken, be restored. Things that were not right, be made whole, every part of that in Jesus’ name be made whole in Jesus’ name. Keys, keys that open doors that needed to be open, we pray over those, the right keys, the assistance from heaven just like a key that will open up those doors that need to be opened now in Jesus’ name. We step out of the past and we step into the new. We’re not moved by what took place yesterday. We’re moved by what You said would take place today and into our future.
Strength, an enablement, strong in You…. Steady, steady, a steady increase in finances we declare it this morning. We speak that over our church, speak to the very finances in Jesus’ name and declare in the same way we just declared an absolute change in the way it’s been, a complete turnaround in Jesus’ name. Ministering spirits, this morning we ask you to go forth, work on our behalf over this ministry and for this ministry. We speak to every direction: north, east, south, and the west. We call in and ask you to go bring in the finances and every kind of resource. It could be land, property, settlements. Whatever it might be, in Jesus’ name we call it in! And we call it up! And we call it forth in Jesus’ name! For breakthroughs, breakthroughs in finances, breakthroughs corporately and breakthroughs individually, hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Glory!
We roll off every care, every anxiety about how it will be and how it will work out. We know that Your Word is true as we’ve said today. We receive it as truth! Wherever it’s been held up by the enemy, we command you to loose your hands and get away from it in Jesus’ name.
Father, we worship You! Thank You for Your presence, the power of Your Spirit. It’s not our own strength. We put our faith and our hope and our trust, all of it, we move it over even further unto You and whatever anxiety or whatever care had tried to come, we release them this morning. Go! We give them unto Your Father. You said You would take every care. And You said You would direct us and lead us in the things we should walk out, that we would follow after You because You will show us the true way and the truth of what You’ve said and the truth for today and for tomorrow and the times that are to come.
A shake up and a shake out and a shaking loose of anything that would try and hold us back. We declare “Freedom in Jesus’ name!” Thank You for it Father. We’ve overcome because You’ve overcame. We are free because You are free. We walk in victory because You brought victory!
An end, an end, an end of that and a beginning of the new… An intimate walk with You Father… Thank You for the power of the blood today and that the past is past and that today and into the future are brand new. We trust You. We rely upon You. We give all of the cares and anxieties over to You.
(Singing in tongues) Thank You Father. Impossibilities, things that in the natural looked like they would never change, this morning we speak over them and call for the change. We declare it. We believe it in faith as we speak it. We know that You hear from heaven and we know that You’ve answered our prayers. Wind of the enemy or any kind of war of attrition that has tried to push us back or push us down – it’s defeated! It’s been defeated! It was defeated! It is defeated and we’ve overcome because You did overcome. Thank You for the Cross! Thank You for what took place on the Cross when Jesus said “It is finished!” This morning we receive it in faith. It’s finished, over, completed, hallelujah! Thank You for it Lord.
The following confession was given by Keith Moore at Kenneth Hagin All Faiths Crusade September 21, 2001:
Father, God, I believe You. I am your child. I serve You. I belong to You and I believe You. And I’m the seed of Abraham. And I’m fully persuaded that what You have said ‘to me, You are well able to perform. I am persuaded that every good thing You have begun in me, You will complete it, You will finish it until the end. You are the author and the finisher of my faith. I believe You. It shall be in my life and over all mine, just like You have said. Just like You have told me. I will serve You, I will run my whole race. I will finish my whole course with joy. I will overcome every trial. I will be more than a conqueror. Things are changing in my life. The perfect will of God, the complete plan of God is unfolding in my life. The Lord is causing me to see. I am seeing. I am knowing. I am understanding the will of God, the plans of God, the ways of God. Revelation is flowing in my life. I will see things I have not seen. I will understand great things I have not understood. I will grow. I am growing and I will grow mighty in spirit, in faith, in grace, in truth, in power, in victory. Hallelujah! My finances are getting stronger. I’m coming out of debt. I’m getting stronger. Money flows to me in great abundance. I always have more than enough. I lack for no good thing. I want for no good thing. My body is kept by the power of God. Every system, every organ, every part is kept by the anointing of God, by the strength of God. No disease can live in my body. No disease can operate in me. I’m strong in the Lord and the power of his might. My children, my grandchildren, are growing up in the nurture, in the instruction, in the protection, in the care of the Most High. Every one will live free. Every one will serve God. Every one will be fruitful in the things of God. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! NO weapon formed against me shall prosper. NO work of the enemy, NO purpose of his will stand, but the purpose of God, the plan of God WILL stand, WILL be completed, WILL be fulfilled in my life. Hallelujah! Praise God for it! Thank you Lord! Hallelujah! Some ministers need to say this. Everybody can say it out loud because we all have a ministry even though you may not be called to five-fold. Say it out loud. My ministry will not be held down. My ministry will not be suppressed. It will not be restricted. It will not be stopped. But all that the Lord has called me to do shall come up, shall come out, shall come forth. Every word of God He’s spoken concerning me shall come to pass.
Ms. Cindy…
Father, it is Your will and Your purpose for all of America to be saved and we know Your plan and purpose is in place right now for this nation. We plead the blood of Jesus over every single office of authority in America. You said in Your Word that the heart of the king is in Your hand and You direct it wherever You please and as easily as water is directed. Father, we thank You for the authority that has been established in every facet of this nation – authority that we would lift up and pray over and authority that You would direct toward Your purpose, that all of America would be saved! Thank You Father for that implementation of the authority in this nation!
We are people who know authority and we are people who honor authority. And we honor the authorities that You alone have granted in this nation. Lord, we ask that You would intervene on behalf of this nation, override the wills of men, Father! You can do it because You have established these offices so that they would work for YOU when Your people, under that authority, pray and ask You to intervene. We say “Thank You, Lord, for every office of authority! We plead the blood of Jesus over them and water them with Your Word! They will increase in the knowledge of God! And they will go in the way that they should go – in the way of the Lord, Father!
We lift up Your Way that is far above the systems and ways of the world! Your way is free from the bondage to fear! We pray that the righteous people of God would rule! But You said that You will even use those that don’t know You because we are praying, Lord! And You implement those people strategically for Your Purpose. They have been raised up for such a time as this. Thank You, Lord, for your glory that rests on every single office of authority in this nation, in every single city, In every single state, every village and rural community! Thank You, Father for people hidden away, that we don’t even know about, who are praying right now and covering the offices of authority in this nation!
We thank You Lord that You have appointed President Trump to lead this nation, and that He knows You and heeds Your voice. We cover him in the blood of Jesus and thank You for raising Him up for such a time as this. Surround Him with such a great cloud of witnesses that witness to the truth! Thank You, Lord, that he’s growing more intimately acquainted with You, Your ways, and moving with You. In every single thing he does, confidence rises up because he knows that he already has what You have spoken in his ear, so he does it, he declares it. He declares righteousness and peace and justice and restoration, unity! Unity is brought to this country because of Your plans that are implemented through him and his decrees by Your Spirit! He stands up for righteousness, he stand up for peace but the spirit of division is far from him! His words are sweet and people realize it’s Your hand that rests upon him! The power of God, the power of heaven on display bringing to nothing all the plans of the enemy with an overwhelming goodness, with an overwhelming peace. But to the enemy, a dividing of truth from lies! Because he is declaring a clear vision, not obscured! He brings forth a clear vision that we might run as a country together with no confusion in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Pastor Ray…
Thank You, Father, for the presence of Your precious Holy Spirit… You are guiding us as a nation; You’re guiding us as a people. You’re guiding us as Your Church, Your body. You’re leading us, You’re directing us. We take Your commands, we take Your Words, we take Your orders, Your plans – what You said for us individually and together, what You so clearly told us to do. We take hold of the gifts You have put in each one of us and what You’ve put within each body part, each church, each ministry and what You put within the ministries, the different gifts and supplies, we take hold of those and declare this morning a release of the gifts, the gifts of Your precious Holy Spirit, signs, wonders, prophecies, words spoken by and through Your precious Holy Spirit. We water the words that have already been spoken and thank You that in these days You’ve caused each one of us to overcome through that precious Word and by the blood. We thank You for it, give You glory, honor, and all of the thanksgiving for this day. Thank You that we are protected by the blood, take authority and hold the blood against accidents of any kind in Jesus’ name. We pray over this church, this ministry, our pastors in Jesus’ name and thank You for the covering of the blood over us all in Jesus’ name, Amen.
