Pastor Ray…
Good morning everyone. Thank you so much.
Wherever you are, we want you to be so in agreement that the things that we do pray, we know without a shadow of a doubt, they shall come to pass – period. We’re not just getting together for an hour to have a good time, although it is a good time and it’s a new day.
Thank you, first of all, for being a part of prayer with us and we’re with you wherever you are. The Word works. There is no distance in the realm of the Spirit. From here, we’re sending our prayers out. Wherever you are, you send your prayers out too and we are covering this earth and we’re praying over every situation, everything that needs prayer. God knows. So our best plan every day is to get with Him. Like Habakkuk got up in that tower, in Him. Then he talked to Him and waited to hear what the Lord would say to Him.
What He said to him was “The just shall live by his faith.” So it’s our faith today that’s causing these things to change, turn, whatever needs to be done. Hallelujah.
Ms. Annie…
All eyes on Jesus, all hands on deck. We are the restraining force against all the plans of the enemy and we are on deck, Lord. We have our eyes on You, Lord.
Pastor Ray…
That means we are ready and working together. If all hands are on deck, we’re working together.
Ms. Annie…
We’re all yoked with Jesus and pulling with Him further and further into the harvest of the precious fruit of the earth that He desires. And we take authority now over this pandemic plague pestilence that is sent from God’s enemy the devil to thwart the harvest of souls, to thwart the prosperity of God’s plans. We say, “no weapon formed against it, against us, against Jesus, against His plan! No weapon formed against God’s plan through us will prosper! Jesus spoke to the Fig tree “no man eat fruit for you again.” Immediately it withered and died from the root up. And He said “Have faith in God.” If you have faith and doubt not in your heart, whatsoever you say… We say, as a body to the genetic structure of the covid19 virus “You be thwarted!” I speak to you now “You mutate and make yourself harmless! You will eat fruit of no man again in the name of Jesus!”
How do we have authority to say that? Only because He gave it to us! We’re not in pride. We’re in humility. We fall on our face before God and say, “Without You, we can do nothing.” Jesus said “Without Me, you can do nothing.” We say, “That’s right!” but we are not without Him!
He is in us and has given us His name. Thank You for the name, Lord Jesus! You said, “if we abide in You and You abide in us, we can ask whatever we will and it will be done for us of the Father in heaven.”
So, Father, as a body now… Oh, I long to see all of your faces. I miss all of you who pray with us every day and anybody else. But I see in the Spirit that we are yoked with Jesus. We’re pulling together against this demonic virus that is seeking to kill, steal, and destroy. But in the authority that He has given us, we agree as touching this thing that we shall ask and it is done for us of the Father in heaven.
We don’t listen to the reports that say this thing just has to go here and go there and then it has to change this way or that way – NO! We take authority over it in Jesus’ name and we say, “You eat fruit of no man again!” We stop your ability to bind to people’s bodies! We thwart you at the molecular level with the name of Jesus, with the blood of Jesus. By the authority that He gave us, we say, “Stop your maneuvers against the human race!”
Pastor Ray…
Go back where you came from! Ha, Ha, Ha! Never to be seen from again! You are not coming back in the fall. You are done. It’s over. Really, we shake the dust off our feet and we’re moving ahead. That’s all we see is out front and we see things turning. We see things changing. We see doors that were locked up, now opened up! We see the economy not continually going down but we see it moving back up at a record pace in Jesus’ name. That’s called “Restoration times and days!” Hallelujah!
Thank You for it, Lord! Hallelujah!
I just got a good picture of the root of that thing dying! Dead at the root in Jesus’ name.
Ms. Annie…
You know a virus is 10 times smaller than a DNA molecule. It’s just a little RNA molecule which is just a chemical messenger that carries information from the DNA to the cell, etc… And the reason a virus keeps mutating is because they are so simple, they are so small. They are always changing every year because just one little “ding!” You know like radiation hits it and there is a small chemical change at a chemical bond and all of a sudden it went from harmless to deadly. Well, we speak the radiation of God into the covid19 now! You just “Ding” and do your thing and switch it from deadly to harmless in the name of Jesus! We have not because we ask not! And we ask now! Hallelujah!
Pastor Ray…
That’s those flaming arrows that God will send. That’s what we talked about yesterday. Burned out, burned up, and burned away in Jesus’ name.
Ms. Annie…
We are a peculiar people! (ha, ha, ha)
I’ve been reading about pestilence in the Bible. I said, “God, talk to me about this. Show me what You say about pestilence.”
I don’t care what the scientists and the media say. I mean I care but I care more… As people of God we care about what He says! How do we know what He says? By His Word.
I was reading about pestilence in I Chronicles 20 how there was a plague and the people of God were being destroyed by it. David and the elders were clothed in sackcloth and on their faces. The Word of God came to the prophet and said “Go tell David, go to the threshing flood of Ornan the Jebusite and buy it and make a sacrifice.”
That is the Old Testament type of the Mercy Seat of God. And we have authority they didn’t have. We go to the threshing floor of God, the Mercy Seat of God, and we hold the blood of Jesus over our cities, our nations, and in the Old Testament it said, “And the plague was stopped.” It didn’t say, it petered out and they got a vaccine and then there were a few more hosts and then three years later they had herd immunity blah, blah, blah. The plague was stopped at Ornan’s threshing floor by the blood of the sacrifice.
So, we take that Father! We take the blood that Jesus offers on the Mercy Seat in heaven, Lord. We hold that over our earth, over our nation, over all the peoples of this earth. They will not die and go into eternity without hearing the Gospel! This Gospel will be preached and it will not be hindered by this pestilence in Jesus’ name! We hold the blood of Jesus NOW! Hallelujah.
The other thing I was reading was in Numbers. There was a plague and the Lord told Moses to have Aaron to run and get hot coals off the altar. They came and carried it and put it in the censors. When the incense rose, the plague was stopped. Well, that’s our prayers. We take hot coals off Your altar, Father, and we put them on our prayers. Put Your fire on our prayers, Father – those flaming arrows! And let this plague be stopped! Not tomorrow, not this fall… Now!
Oh, Father, there is nothing too hard for You. We believe in You. You’re the God of miracles. Thank You, Lord.
Pastor Ray…
To go along with what you are saying I want to read from “Praying in the Last Days” by Patsy Cameneti. She has a real clear demonstration… First of all in our own self we are nothing. We can’t do anything. But we are not talking about natural things. We are talking about spiritual. In the spirit realm by the power of the blood and the name that is above every other name, we can do all things. And that’s it. So she gave this demonstration of praying in the last times and she had three platforms.
Platform One:
One who prays from this platform sees himself as a powerless individual with little, if any, hope for any supernatural intervention. He does not see God, if He exists, as a ruler or as more powerful than the situation. Prayer from this platform, if it is made at all, is most times ineffectual.People with this reality rarely pray because it is pointless. The situation is just too overwhelming for them to even try to pray, and if they do, it’s sometimes no more than a “shot in the dark.”
A prayer from this place may sound like, “God, if You really do exist and are real, do something!” Yet, there are glorious testimonies of God’s merciful intervention in answer to these desperate prayers.
Platform Two:
A person who prays from this platform acknowledges God as being above all circumstances and situations, but his prayer is motivated by circumstances and situations rather than a prompting of the Holy Spirit. On platform two, the pray-er sees God as being above all other names. However, if the pray-er sees himself as below the situation and the persons for whom he is praying, his prayer from this platform may take on a tone of begging and pleading for God to do something.Platform Three:
This place and platform is where God intended for prayer to take place from on a consistent basis. This is the platform where we are seated with Christ in heavenly places at the right hand of God. The pray-er uses this high place in Christ to work together with God, not just in times of crisis or disaster, but continually so that the will of God can be accomplished on earth. Not only is Christ above anything or anyone being prayed for, but the pray-er is in Him, above every name.From this platform the pray-er’s primary motivation to pray is by the unction of the Holy Spirit, not the pressure and demands of the crisis.
From this platform the pray-er can see things from God’s perspective and gain a wide panoramic view of the plan of God.
From this platform the pray-er is not hearing news, he is making news!
Pastor Ray…
We want to make some news. We have our own news. It’s right here in the Word. We know how everything is turning out
We should be in that third place where we know who we are in Him. We are not timid about it. We know who we are in Him. It puts muscle in our prayers. So when we are declaring things, we absolutely believe it. Always believe what He said in His Word. If it’s in His Word, it is absolutely going to come to pass.
We are moving on. I just have this so much in my heart. By faith, we know that thing has been annihilated and we are moving on, up, ahead and forward. Amen.
Thank You so much for the presence of Your Holy Spirit. Graciousness and faithfulness, for who You are. You are working in us changing and turning things but You are working through us today. It’s not all about us. It’s about You working through us toward others. Oh, Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Father.
Ms. Annie led us in singing You Are Great
Pastor Ray…
When you kept singing “Miracles,” it just kind of went off in me. I see several people that are tuning in that absolutely need healing now. We have scripture to base our prayer this morning. “By the stripes laid on Jesus’ back, we are healed.” We are not going to be healed but are healed. There are a couple different things that I can see. One, your legs that need to be healed and then your breathing to be normal. There are other things but those just stood out to me.
(13) Is anyone among you afflicted (ill-treated, suffering evil)? He should pray. Is anyone glad at heart? He should sing praise [to God].
(14) Is anyone among you sick? He should call in the church elders (the spiritual guides). And they should pray over him, anointing him with oil in the Lord’s name.
(15) And the prayer [that is] of faith will save him who is sick, and the Lord will restore him; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
(16) Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]. James 5:13–15
Wherever you need healing, just put your hand there. I can’t anoint you with oil over the Internet. If you are able, anoint yourself with oil.
Precious Father in Heaven, thank You for Your wonderful Word we have to stand on. Jesus, we are so grateful You went all the way to the very end to the Cross at Calvary. You didn’t stop. You knew what it was You were to do because You listened to the Father. Then that blood that You shed was shed for us and those stripes that you took on Your back, those were for our healing and restoration. We have the written Word on it.
Father, wherever this prayer goes, you know who you are and what you need in your physical body. Maybe it’s in your thoughts, in your heart, in your blood. From the top of your head to the soles of your feet I declare your bodies to be healed today. In the same way Ms. Annie took authority over that virus and we declared that thing done, dead at the roots, I declare that for you! Those symptoms, that disease, those pains, whatever they were, dead in Jesus’ name. We resist you and declare by the blood of Jesus, you are healed because of the authority that’s been given unto each one of us. So, here in the chapel we declare it out toward you so that then you can do what you need to do that God has called you to do and bring that freedom and that victory and that wholeness to others that you come in contact with. So you can say “I experienced a miracle, now I want to pray for you so you can experience a miracle too!” That’s the way He works!
God is working for us right now. Even if we can’t feel it, we know He’s there working. Maybe we can’t sense it but I sense a presence in your place, wherever you are, in your room, your bedroom, in your living room, wherever you are in Jesus’ name.
Ms. Annie led us singing In Your Presence
Pastor Folu…
This morning when the lord woke me up, I knew that I needed to be here this morning. When I came in, I started hearing what my precious sister Annie and then Pastor Ray were saying about healing. I just said, “WOW!”
One of the things that the Lord has been emphasizing to me lately is the authority of the believer and about how we need to take our place. Like Pastor Ray said, “everything has already been done in the realm of the spirit.” But, by faith we need to appropriate it and bring it down here into the natural.
The Spirit of God was sharing with me what Jesus said, “Whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth is loosed in heaven.” And how we have to do the binding and we have to do the loosing especially now. More people around the world are beginning to understand the operation of the demonic. Jesus said “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. But He has come that they may have life everlasting.” So anything that looks like stealing and killing and destroying, you don’t need the Spirit of God revealing to you that it’s the devil. And everything that looks along the line of life and life everlasting, you don’t need the revelation of the Spirit that it’s God.
There was a word He gave Brother Copeland some time ago. In that word the Lord was talking about the authority of the believer and the head of the church… Now this blew me away! And the Lord has helped me more and more about our authority. And the Spirit of God said that when we do not consider ourselves equal with Him, we’re actually in a stance not pleasing to him. You know a lot of people talk about that as pride and I thank God for the distinction you made about that Miss Annie.
Because think about it! Everything concerning our equality was done by Jesus. The bible says, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:” So if Jesus, in His earthly days, as He was discovering who He is and who He was, did not consider it robbery to be called equal with God, so why do we now have to think it robbery to be called equal with God?
The Spirit of God was saying, “Son, actually when you do not consider yourself to be equal with Me, you are actually dishonoring Me.” And I said, “Wow…Lord, this is another level of thinking.” He said this, “Son, does it not say in the scriptures that you are heirs of God and joint heirs of Jesus?” He paid, “I paid a high price for your joint heir-ship with Me. You could not make yourself equal with Me. I made you equal with Me.”
When you start thinking on that Word… No wonder the scripture tells us that everywhere Jesus appeared on the scene, when he started speaking, people looked at Him and thought “He talks on a different level.” He was not talking like the scribes. Why is that? Because he saw in the scriptures who He is, who He was, and He talked from that place.
And I so much thank the Lord that He so encouraged me… Because I was here working late last night and didn’t go to bed until late. I wasn’t going to get to work until 10 a.m. but the Spirit of God woke me up and said, “You need to be in that chapel this morning.” And I thanked the Lord!
I want to encourage you to discover more and more who you are in Christ. When you know who you are in Christ, the way you talk will be different. You will honor God because God will say, “Now he’s talking like Me. Now she’s talking like Me.”
Here’s the deal saints, when you begin to think like God, invariably, you’re going to act like God because you’re thinking like God, because you are a son of God, you a daughter of God. And being a daughter or son of God means you have the DNA of Heaven inside of you.
In that particular Word the Lord gave Brother Copeland, He is saying, “And son, we’ll rejoice together and we’ll walk together” There’s togetherness! It’s Him being the head and us being the body. Because as we all know, the head cannot do just what he wants to do. I mean it doesn’t work like that! It’s the head and the body cooperating together. And so the head gives the directive, and the body carries out the directive.
More and more people in America now, and all over the world are beginning to see what the operation of the wicked one, and are beginning to enforce because Jesus said “occupy until I come.” We are the occupying force right now. So, as an occupying force, Jesus has already done the work. We get to occupy! Meaning anything that tries to come in and steal, and kill and destroy, we say, No! Not here! Not today! Not ever! Not under my watch! You get out of here now! I enforce the rule of Heaven right now, this moment, not tomorrow! Right now!
This lady sent me an email, it’s amazing. She’s one of our members here. She works at Lowe’s but used to work at Home Depot. She was talking to another Christian at work about the demonic spirits that operated in people at Lowe’s, that they’re different than the ones that operated at Home Depot. (Laughter) She said a lady came in recently to Lowe’s. She was trying to help this lady and all of a sudden the lady started going off on her. She’s like, “What did I Do? I’m trying to help you?” Then she realized what was really going on.
So she said, “next time before I come to work, I’m going to bind any kind of demonic spirit, any kind of evil spirit, any kind of contrary spirit. As long as I’m at work, it will not operate.” Because she had already taken care of business at home before she came to work, the next time the lady came in, she was completely different. She was so respectful even to the point that after she finished helping her, the lady wrote a comment to her boss about the service she received. She was so blown away that this was the same lady that came in mad at her for no reason but because she took authority! (You know Miss Byllie Brim has been emphasizing taking authority.)
This lady went on to say that she also noticed that at Lowes there were significant orders that people had put in that were being canceled at the last minute. And this would happen over and over. She was like, “Just wait a minute! That is not normal!” There’s something wrong about that. Why would somebody put in a significant order and then towards the time they had to go fulfill the order, they would cancel it. She said, “Oh yeah, that’s right!” So she took authority over that thing. And after as she took authority, in about a week they started getting orders again and nothing got canceled.
So saints, what am I saying? I’m talking about the importance of taking authority and effectively standing as a son of God, as a daughter of God and anything… Thank God the Spirit of seeing and knowing is operating in more and more in these last days because that’s what the head of the church says. So we thank God for that! But you don’t need that when you see anything that is contrary. When you see anything that is along the lines of stealing, killing and destroying, you have the common sense of God to just take authority over that thing, “I bind it from from having its way. I speak the word of God. I call down the peace of God. I called down the joy of God and as you do that, heaven will back you up in Jesus name. So please my brothers and sisters, study on who you are in the Lord.
Pastor Ray was talking about healing. I believe you have received your healing. And I do want to say this as the one now that God has given author and grace of the Lord, I get to host our Healing School here, right now. So here’s something I do at Healing school. I just want you to know about it. If you’re dealing with situations that need healing, you can email us at healingschool@lwcc.org. We meet on Monday (virtually) for an hour from 7 – 8 p.m. If you send an email to that address, we’ll send you a Zoom link where you can join us. There were so many of us on the call last night. People were getting healed by the spirit of the living God. So that’s another provision Living Word has available for you to tap into for healings, not just for you but maybe for your family members and to learn who we are in Christ in Jesus name, Amen! Praise the Lord.
The following is a prayer for our nation by Pastor Lynne Hammond:
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.
