Morning Prayer Summary for Thursday, August 16, 2018

Mary led group in worship…

♪ Way maker, miracle worker, promise keeper, light in the darkness, my God, that is who You are… ♪

Pastor Ray shared…

While we were singing, I was thinking about how He’s working even when we can’t see He’s working or know what He’s doing. But we just know He’s working. What a friend! He’s the way maker. He’s made that clear in His Word. He makes a way where there was no way. That’s a friend to have, isn’t it? More than a friend! You could say about the disciples that they had an advantage because Jesus was alive with them and speaking into their lives. But He was speaking into them His Word which we have. We have His Word! Let’s just think about it. What did they have back then in the book of Acts that kept them moving forward no matter what? The first thing they had was His Word. The Word to them after Jesus exited, His Word was as good then as it was when He was walking on the earth. Because they had it in them. That’s why it’s so important for us to be filled with His Word.

Erika shared…

The disciples were with Jesus for 3 ½ years. They’re consumed with Him and then He gives them the message, “I’m going away.” And they’re like, “NO! You’re not… No…” They couldn’t receive that. But He said to them, “It is imperative that I go, because I’m going to send another exactly like Me that’s going to come to you and He will never leave you. And He is a teacher.” When they said in the context of that, that was a teacher who would never ever leave them. That means wherever you go, the Teacher is right there. He takes ahold with you, and wherever you go or do I’m going to talk to you about it. If you have ears to hear.

Forget about all that stuff in the past, because Jesus doesn’t remember it. He has no clue what you’re talking about. No clue what the Devil is talking about. So why should you discount what Jesus said. Forget it! I’m not being mean. It’s freedom. He did it, completed it. When I was first saved, I had a friend who was stern with me. I would go, “What about that?” She goes, “The blood’s not good enough for you?” I’m like, “Yes, the blood is good enough for me.” So the Church needs to have all of that behind them, forgotten, not dig it up because that will inhibit and limit us from going forward and doing what we’re supposed to do. So that is one of my greatest prayer projects for the church for every believer. That the fullness of who you are in Him is the reality that we walk in. Sons of God. Cleansed. Free. Redeemed. Washed. And moving forward because the one who takes hold together with us said He would never leave us. He’s faithful and what He’s promised He’s working on things in your life. We simply trust Him, believe Him for His goodness and love and mercy.

Prayed…

Father, we’re believing You for every son and daughter to step into that freedom… from every limitation and hindrance… free from the past… it’s been washed away… removed from the hearts of the believer… we have a new purpose… we’re looking for that in this day and hour… You’re moving in a strong way… in great revelation and mercy … touch the church in a new way so we can rise up and walk in the way You’ve called us to walk… to talk, to live how You’ve called us to live… to live in “the” way… free from torment, and junk… the old life is gone…

Father, if we’ve been part of reminding people of their past, we ask You to forgive us… we repent… like You, we won’t bring it up…

We thank You for a great move in the church… that we would be Your hands and feet all over the earth… whatever it is we do… it’s Christ in you the hope of glory… Jesus everywhere… the body of Christ demonstrating and manifesting His love… that we would walk aware of what our Father is saying… that we would act and do like our big Brother… even in the little ones… the youth… increase in the way we speak, see, act… more and more conformed into Your image and likeness… that You would be glorified… that we would have all the equipment needed … every promise… every gift is in You… we thank You for it…

We lift up freedom… we can walk out this last leg… walk beyond the boundaries, so to speak… not back away but going headfirst or heart first into more of God… a marked change… moving the limits out of the way… a march… there is a march… a contending… a furtherance… so we’re loosed from the past and free to move into the future… now! … this nation and those in leadership… out of the old ways and into the new… we lift them up and pray for wisdom and direction… You’re making a way for this country… open to God’s way and plan… things we haven’t seen but we declare things that are not as though they were… we declare over the elections, we’re moving toward God’s way… this state, in Jesus’ name, is moving… some things will be a surprise… a lot of things will be new… we draw that line of blood against the past of Minnesota… we say, “cease, stop”… what was one way before, we’re not staying that way in the future… the past is over and we’re moving into the new… the boundaries… more and more and more…Devil, you cannot operate the way you used to operate… it’s over… finished in Jesus’ name…

♪ We thank You for Your blood… Jesus Christ… thank You for Your blood…♪

Continued prayer…

Restoration… wholeness… change… we make much of the blood today… we plead the blood… over the members of this church and over bodies that need to be made whole… we stand on the promises of God… by the stripes of Jesus, you were healed, therefore, you are healed, restored and made new… Father, You know the ones that are in a kind of 911 situation… You know their names… we join ourselves with them and called them healthy, restored, made new… we lift up our pastors, Mac and Lynne… we pray over them and cover them with the blood… we stand with them… there are new steps… we don’t question it… we content for it… we call it forth… Your plan for the vision to come forth… we contend for the vision of this ministry… we hold it before heaven… missionaries… evangelists… teachers… prophets… no boundaries, no enemy can hold them back… we declare freedom in Jesus’ name… over the whole body… freedom in the United States, Canada, Mexico… over all the nations of the earth… voices speaking against the church, against Israel shall be stopped… desist in your maneuvers… stop it now in Jesus’ name…

Cindy prayed for nation and President…

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.

Pastor Ray continued…

The last part of Psalm 62, God has spoken once, twice have I heard this that power belongs to God. Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy, loving kindness, for You render to every man according to his work. Psalms 63.

1 O God, You are my God, earnestly will I seek You; my inner self thirsts for You, my flesh longs and is faint for You, in a dry and weary land where no water is. 2 So I have looked upon You in the sanctuary to see Your power and Your glory. 3 Because Your loving-kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You. 4 So will I bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.
5 My whole being shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips 6 When I remember You upon my bed and meditate on You in the night watches. 7 For You have been my help, and in the shadow of Your wings will I rejoice. 8 My whole being follows hard after You and clings closely to You; Your right hand upholds me. 9 But those who seek and demand my life to ruin and destroy it shall [themselves be destroyed and] go into the lower parts of the earth [into the underworld of the dead]. 10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be a prey for foxes and jackals. 11 But the king shall rejoice in God; everyone who swears by Him [that is, who binds himself by God’s authority, acknowledging His supremacy, and devoting himself to His glory and service alone; every such one] shall glory, for the mouths of those who speak lies shall be stopped.

He’s the way maker. He’s making a way. We take no care. Every care—small, medium, huge—we put them in a basket and give them to God. He said to do it! We’re carefree!
