This morning I’m going to read a couple prophetic words. Remember, this is God speaking to us through these words. I want to read one by Billye Brim from March 18, 2009.
Great Awakening
It will come. You will see. You are the generation that will see the great manifestation of Me. Continue in unity. Continue to cry. The coming of the Lord is very nigh. And ‘ere He comes to take you away, you will see an awakening in your very own day. You are now where you should be now, but there is a further work to be done in you. Do not shirk to obey the Spirit’s leading. Do not shirk to obey. Keep proceeding. Pray every day. Pray without ceasing. Pray as you walk about. Pray as you sing and shout.
I will touch your prayers and you will be more conscious of their doing good than you have been before. You will be more conscious even in your mind that the prayers are finding My ear in another realm and you will begin to walk there with Me individually. You will begin to talk there with Me individually.
Great change is coming to My body. It has to do with My presence in My body. The glory of the Lord that is within you shall increase degree by degree but it is increasing in relative response to Me. I am your source and you rely on Me. I could not allow you to think that a leader on earth was the answer. I could not allow you to think that men can give what none can give but Me.
For the hour is late. Even on the horizon My kingdom comes. Even on the horizon you move into the next day and ‘ere you do I call My saints away.
You must give attention only to Me and mention My name oft that you might see the glory there is inherent there. Mention My name oft in prayer, oft as you meet together to pray. And you will meet more and more. You will in your places of gathering when you walk in the door, sense such a degree of the presence of God that you’ll want to come oft to the place. But you shall also sense My presence when you are before My face alone at the throne.
Great, great change has begun and will increase until faith turns to sight and you see it.
Prayed…
Father, we receive Your Word and believe we are the generation that will see the great manifestation of You… we cry for unity and things on Your heart… We’ll not shrink away from obeying You… Thank You for the change in the body… to touch us, heal us and that we are unified and the world will see our love… thank You for Your glorious transformation in the church… we see man does not have the answers… nothing is impossible with You… in the transformation of our nation… of the church… thank You for the anointing upon the President… anointed to do what you’ve called him to do… there is an unseen work that is working because of that anointing… we pray for our President that You would strengthen him… cause his eyes to see and ears to hear… he would know the hope of his calling… he would see and know he was called to the kingdom for such a time as this… You surround him with godly men and women… we plead the blood over him and his family, staff, children and grandchildren, all advisors and cabinet… no weapon formed against him shall prosper… no lies, no deception, no calamity… we loose ministering spirits to watch, guard, guide and protect him in the name of Jesus… You will complete the work in him… You perfect him in Jesus’ name…
Prayer for body of Christ and Pulse…
More and more the church gathers together in the unity of the spirit… barriers are being broken down between denominations… one thing in common is Jesus… we thank You that You help us to walk in the unity of the Spirit that we are co-laborers together… we apply the blood of those “joinings together”… preparations and those that need to come up and step into their places… we lift up Pulse… participation to the plan of God… draw us by Your Spirit to gather together… unashamed of You… You provide everything that is needed… abundance… of personnel and supply of every kind… we plead the blood of Jesus over every person involved… we ask for a beautiful day there when we gather together…

I wanted to read an excerpt from a minibook. I like it.
National Morality
Father, I know that the spirit of the world creeps into the body of Christ almost unawares sometimes, and before we know it, we can so easily be led astray and caught up in worldly actions (at times so subtly we don’t even recognize what has happened to us).
So in the name of Jesus, I pray that You would raise up a voice in our nation that would rally the body of Christ and cause us to become the standard bearers to such a degree that we would profoundly affect the morality of our nation.
Never forget, Americans, that yours is a spiritual country. Yes, I know you’re a practical people. Like others, I’ve marveled at your factories, your skyscrapers, and your arsenals. But underlying everything else is the fact that America began as a God-loving, God-fearing, God-worshiping people. —General Romulo, General of the Philippines

This morning, I saw this from Gloria Copeland. You know how people say at this time of year “This is the flu season.” So she put it on Facebook saying, “This is NOT the flu season.” Then she quoted scriptures to back her declaration. We are healed, whole, healthy in Jesus’ name.
I wanted to go through a couple things from Smith Wigglesworth who was a great man of faith.
“We have a wonderful subject. What is it? Faith. Faith in an inward operation of that divine power that dwells in the contrite heart and can lay hold of the things not seen. Faith is a divine act; faith is God in the soul. God operates by His Son and transforms the natural into the supernatural.
Faith is active; never dormant. Faith lays hold; faith is the hand of God; faith is the power of God. Faith never fears; faith lives amid the greatest conflict; faith is always active; faith moves even things that cannot be moved. God fills us with His divine power, and sin is dethroned. “The just shall live by faith” (Rom. 1:17). You cannot live by faith if you are unholy or dishonest.
The Lord was looking for fruit on the tree. He found “nothing but leaves” (Mark 11:13). There are thousands of people like that. They dress up like Christians but it is all leaves. “By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit” (John 15:8). The Lord has no way in which to get fruit except through us. We cannot be ordinary people. To be saved is to be an extraordinary man, an exposition of God. When Jesus was talking about the new life, He said, “Unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God… that which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit” (John 3:3, 6).
In order to understand His fullness, we must be filled with the Holy Spirit. God has a measure for us that cannot be measured. I am invited into this measure: the measure of the Lord Jesus Christ in me. When you are in this relationship, sin is dethroned, but you cannot purify yourself. It is by the blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son, that you are cleansed from all sin.
When Jesus saw nothing but leaves, He said to this tree, ‘Let no one eat fruit from you ever again.’ And His disciples heard it” (Mark 11:14). The next morning as they passed the same place, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots (v. 20). You never see a tree dry up from the roots. Even a little plant will dry from the top. But God’s Son had spoken to the tree, and it could not live. He said to them, “Have faith in God” (v. 22).
We are His life; we are members of His body. The Spirit is in us, and there is no way to abide in the secret place of the Lord except by holiness.
Be filled with the Word of God. “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow” (Heb. 4:12). Listen, those of you who have stiff knees and stiff arms today, you can get a tonic by the Word of God that will loosen your joints and that will divide even your joints and marrow. You cannot move your knee if there is no marrow there, but the Word of God can bring marrow into your bones.

Pastor Ray interjected…
I keep hearing the word “boundaries” while praying. I want to declare the boundaries of the church, the increase, the body of Christ is on the increase. And the boundaries that have tried to hold it back or down have and will continue to come down. For the boundaries of the church are going forth. Increase shall come forth, not just in our cities but cities across the United States of America.
Prayed…
We pray over every city… all the huge cities… they are the cities of God… Father, we declare these cities will be the cities that they were created to be… that Your presence and anointing of the Holy Spirit would bring… we move out into new territories… the church would increase into areas where we’ve never been able to go before… in the arts, in sports… in all kinds of entertainment… the church is moving forward…
Expansion by Your Spirit… expanding our territories… in Jesus’ name… removing the stakes… lengthening the cords… expansion of vision and passion… goals and objectives… of the mission of God to affect every part of society… in the name of Jesus…. Expansion of divine strategy… to define them… write them down… reveal and disclose them, Father… the time and timeline… instructions to be given and heard… to be received…
