Annie led group in worship…
♪ Through it all, through it all, my eyes are on You… it is well… with me… let go my soul, trust in Him, waves and winds still know His name… ♪
Pastor Ray…
I have the sense right now that we’re like… going through the land and making the announcement “It is well, in Jesus’ name.” That’s what I keep seeing. I don’t know where we were marching but we were marching. And then I saw us doing this. North is this way. Let’s look to the north and declare “It is well, in Jesus’ name.” And it goes way out, not just to northern Minnesota but all the way to the north. We declare it is well, in Jesus’ name. Now to the east, we say “it is well, in Jesus’ name.” Out, out, out… blockages, hindrances, viruses… we declare it is well in Jesus’ name! Oh Jesus! Like Annie was singing, “every knee will bow to that name. Down they go, bowing to the name of Jesus.” Now we’re going to the south. We speak to the south and say, “It is well, in Jesus’ name.” Go! The wellness, the wholeness, the completeness, the restoration in Jesus’ name. All viruses have to leave. Go! Leave! Bow to the name of Jesus! Now we’re going to face the west. Annie, would you speak to the west?
Annie…
It is well, in the name of Jesus! I’m speaking to California, China, Japan, all the Pacific Islands…
Pastor Ray…
I always remember this declaration that brother Hagin made. I’ll read it from the prophecy. I’ve quoted it but it says, “Don’t stop in your praying because things seem to change just a little bit. Keep on interceding until the full answer materializes or the entire burden lifts. Don’t settle for 75% victory. Don’t settle for 90 or 99% victory. But settle for nothing less than 100% victory.” Deliverance from all darkness!
He said at the beginning of this prophecy, “Prayer is my foremost business. Prayer is my main business. I will give myself to prayer. My Father God hears me when I pray. He has said in His Word the fervent effectual prayer of a righteous man availeth much. I am that righteous man or woman. For Him who knew no sin was made to be sin for me. That I might be made the righteousness of God in Him. I am the righteousness of God in Him. I am that righteous man or woman. I must see to it that my prayers are fervent.” You know, that doesn’t mean just loud. It means heartfelt. Really fervent. “I will be fervent. Yes, for the fervent, effectual prayer of a righteous man availeth much. My prayers work. Hallelujah!”
They’re working because it’s based on the Word. All prayer, heartfelt prayer, we’re righteous because of the blood, it availeth much. There’s much, much more prayer happening in these days then happened… I don’t know when. Maybe 911. Remember the chapel was full. Our sanctuary was full. The prayer meetings were packed out because no one knew what was going to happen next. And we know part of that was fear, but thank God people began to move toward to light and the churches and lifted up their voices in one accord. And we’ve seen that happening now in these days. But I know it’s on the increase more and more we’ll do what we just confessed and have it be our foremost business or our main business. Amen?
Brother Hagin went on to say, “I can hear the spirit of God within my spirit saying, ‘you ought to give more earnest heed to the things that you’ve heard today, for there are those who stand here who will shortly need the very things that are spoken here. They’ll maybe stand in desperate conditions and not know what to do, because they did not assume their place or pick up their responsibility and enter into the prayer fight. There are those who stand here today who will stand, instead, of what has been here. You will need it badly. You’ll need it greatly. There are those who stand here today that will not stand in this place again. Never will you be the same again. You need desperately to get into your spirit what is being taught about intercession for you’ll stand in need of it. Do not treat it lightly. Yes, there are lives that are here, families that are here even though you do not know it now but darkness is creeping in, trying to come upon you. The enemy would endeavor to steal from you the blessings of God. the enemy would endeavor and will invade your homes or try to, your lives and marriages. But to be forewarned is to be forearmed. Intercede, pray against the powers of darkness. Don’t stop!
That’s our word for today. Don’t stop! Don’t stop with a little bit. We’re not stopping. I’ve seen that and how it can go. We put all of our attention on one thing and then we kind of slide back. Same way at 9/11 where people began to leave. They were here and in it and then things seemed semi-normal so they went back into their lives. I’ll declare it for all of us today. We’re not going back! We’re moving ahead into new. We’ve declared it all the years. We’ve moving into the new. And we’ve moved into the new right now. So by faith, we take hold of the new and we believe for the best absolute right things to unfold in Jesus’ name.
Before we go on, I want to have Mary come up. She has a short testimony. While we’re concerned about the virus and praying, she’s was standing in back… you go ahead and explain it.
Mary…
I was standing in back on Tuesday. I was praying along and wasn’t thinking anything more than the fact we were praying and singing and I had a slight issue with my left knee. I had surgery on it a couple years ago and it started to bother me again, really bad. So I was a little concerned about it but I wasn’t paying any attention to it. And all of a sudden, it was almost a distraction from prayer, I started getting these sharp like bolts hitting my knee on the side that’s been bothering me. The first one hit and I thought, “What was that?” Then there were maybe four or five of them. It almost became uncomfortable. It felt like bolts. Then my knee kind of loosened up. It was like a gift I didn’t ask for, but it just happened. So praise God! I’ve been really impressed that I needed to come to pray, but I’ve had friends and family telling me I should stay home. But I’ve got gloves on. My daughter is a doctor and she told me to wear gloves. So praise God!
Pastor Ray…
I appreciate it. So even when we have our attention on what we think is something that’s needing attention, the Holy Spirit… I love that, that while Mary is focused on prayer going out and declaring things. The Holy Spirit zapped her knee! The Holy Spirit is working on our behalf… now! He’s working on our bodies. He’s working on our finances. He’s working on the finances of this church, Living Word Christian Center. The finances in every realm. We’ve stepped over into that land of more than enough. And when you say that, it’s more than we can even ask for or… imagine! Just let our imaginations, let your heart see that increase for you individually. Increase in the midst of a storm. Increase in the midst of what we would say “an attack by the enemy.” Increase… we drew that line behind us. That line is a line of the blood and we’re protected because of that blood. But that blood keeps us over into moving further into the land of more than enough. In every area. He cares about our needs. He cares about our hands. He cares about all of our parts. Internal and external. He said we were healed. Therefore we are healed. And it is well. It’s well!
One other thing. I want to ask Annie to tell us about this. You just go ahead.
Annie…
I was sharing with Pastor Ray about a story. I don’t watch the news but I will look on my phone to see what is going on. It’s easy to get drawn in and cluttered with wrong news. But sometimes the Holy Spirit gets me on these rabbit trails and I’ll learn something that seems supernatural. This seemed supernatural to me. We’ve been praying every day for the medical professionals, for answers, wisdom, for our leaders. It seemed kind of strange at first but I pondered on it and thought I would share it with Pastor Ray. It’s a medical doctor who lives in this community of over 30,000 Hassidic Jews north of New York city. He is one of their physicians, but he’s also a cancer survivor. He had a deadly form of cancer, only ten people in the whole world have had it. After they go through treatment, they still die. So he had his lung removed and went through terrible chemotherapy. He’s actually in quarantine because he’s at such high risk. If he gets anything, that’s it for him. But he had this idea to combine these three normal drugs. He was directing his staff remotely from his quarantine. One of them is you’ve already heard about, atovaquone and then Zithromax which is a common antibiotic. And then zinc sulfate. He combined those three and in over 300 patients with the coronavirus, it arrested the virus in their bodies so it didn’t progress to their lungs and create this deadly lung condition. He said once it does that, even in the hospital, even on a ventilator, there’s a 50% death rate. So none of his patients but one out of over 300 even ended up in the hospital. He said nothing is foolproof and this is what they call in science “anecdotal.” But already other colleagues of his are doing the same thing and they’re seeing the same results. It had a link to something between their community and Israel, that the doctors in Israel are already trying this too with the same results. So he said it’s really critical to stop it from getting to the lungs because once it gets there and creates this meltdown where people can’t breathe, then this drug cocktail is not very effective. I just saw this as an answer from God. And he had some sort of conversation with someone who may have had a conversation with the leadership in Washington. But then when I checked the next headline said, the governor of Nevada had issued a statewide ban that none of the doctors are allowed to use this. So there really is an enemy who wants to steal, kill and destroy. But to me I saw it as so hopeful. I have a family member who has gone through chemotherapy in the last year and is over 60. I just took comfort from that. If I hear he’s got the virus, I’m going to let him know about this and tell him to ask his doctor to try that. I thought of Genesis 12 where God spoke to Abraham and said blessing I will bless you, and in you will all the families of the earth be blessed. So I just claim that. This sweet precious Hassidic doctor was saying, “I’ve been asking the Lord why did you keep me alive?” So he said “because I’ve been so close to death and I’ve had one foot in the grave, my purpose for living has changed. My purpose for living is to alleviate suffering.”
I took that for all of us. when our lives are yielded to Jesus, use us, Lord, for Your purpose. Which is to destroy the works of the evil one, for this purpose was the son of God manifested. He’s going to use us the same way. He’s our covenant-keeping God!
Prayed…
Father, we lift up our leaders. If this is an answer, we pray it will get to the right people, Lord. A bird in the air will carry the voice… a winged creature will tell the matter…
Pastor Ray…
Holy Spirit, I thank You for Your presence here… Your manifested presence… we are humbled to serve such a mighty Father and receive Your presence and be filled and saturated… we’re touched, moved… to bring help in a time of need… to bring restoration and wholeness… prosperity of every kind—spirit, soul, and body… a supernatural invasion, a Tsunami of the Spirit… revivals breaking out everywhere… and the sheep, Lord, we pray over all the body… we cover Your body… we pray for every member… all the streams… we believe the body is on the increase… more and beginning to trust in You… we trust in You, Lord…
Annie, let’s sing in other tongues a little bit.
Annie led group singing in the spirit…
Pastor Ray…
Let’s just pray in other tongues now for a while.
Help, help, help… restore, restore… you know the ones right now, Lord… flow, a flowing… locations, the locations…
Just let the Holy Spirit show you locations. That’s what I keep getting. It could be cities, states, nations.
Out… we’re sending it out… into… and out to… the flow, the rivers… over in there… You know, Lord, You know the locations… words, the words that we speak… things we see and know… when we line up our words with those things… things that have to go will go… things that have to leave will leave… all these locations, Lord…
I keep seeing this. It’s like a domino effect.
The right words… God’s word declared in the church… heartfelt prayers… faster and faster… we declare today a supernatural recovery… yes, You are working with the medical field, bringing forth new ideas… but You are a supernatural God… we serve You and humble ourselves before You… thank You, Lord…
I want to pray Psalm 91 which we’ve been doing every day.
Prayer of Psalm 91 in NIV
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”
