Ms. Annie led us singing One Thing Remains
♪ Higher than the mountains that I face
Stronger than the power of the grave
Constant through the trial and the change
One thing remains
This one thing remains
(Chorus)
Your love never fails, and never gives up
It never runs out on me (3x)
Because on and on and on and on it goes
Before it overwhelms and satisfies my soul
And I never, ever, have to be afraid
One thing remains
This one thing remains
In death, and in life
I’m confident and covered by the power of your great love
My debt is paid, there’s nothing that can separate
My heart from Your great love ♪
(Chorus)
Ms. Annie…
Prophecy will pass away and tongues will cease but the love of God in us will never fail. There is no end to that song. We could just keep going.
I saw it like a supply that never runs out. As long as we keep yielding to His love inside of us, it never runs dry. It’s always there, an ever flowing fountain. Glory!
Pastor Ray…
It felt like we were on a bus and we’re all together in His love and it’s not running out. I don’t know where we are going, but we’re going somewhere (ha, ha, ha).
It reminded me of a time we were on an Israel trip with a a lot of people, maybe 4 to 6 busloads. The bus that we were in was a combination of people from Living Word and Eagle Mountain. There were a lot of people we didn’t know, and we were out in the middle of nowhere going somewhere on the bus. There was the bus driver and a Jewish tour guild in the front. Right in the middle of nowhere, the joy of the Lord came into the bus. People started laughing and we began to laugh so loud. The bus driver had a huge mirror in the front so he can see what’s happening with the people and he is getting alarmed. We were all laughing so loud that he actually pulled the bus over off the highway. He wanted to know if there was something wrong. No, there was nothing wrong and that made us laugh all the more (ha, ha, ha). It was something new for them, the joy of the Lord.
Yesterday, when we were praying in other tongues, Ms. Annie started to sing the song “Every Chain Is Broken.” Every chain being the Devil’s plans. I saw this. Right on the other side, things that were broken were being restored by God.
Scripture focus…
20) But you, my delightfully loved friends, constantly and progressively build yourselves up on the foundation of your most holy faith by praying every moment in the Spirit. 21) Fasten your hearts to the love of God and receive the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who gives us eternal life.
22) Keep being compassionate to those who still have doubts, 23) and snatch others out of the fire to save them. Be merciful over and over to them, but always couple your mercy with the fear of God. Be extremely careful to keep yourselves free from the pollutions of the flesh.
24) Now, to the one with enough power to prevent you from stumbling into sin and bring you faultless before his glorious presence to stand before him with ecstatic delight, 25) to the only God our Savior, through our Lord Jesus Christ, be endless glory and majesty, great power and authority-from before he created time, now, and throughout all the ages of eternity. Amen! Jude 20–25 (TPT)
Pastor Ray…
When we’re lifted up, when we’re built up, and we’re connecting to heaven, don’t you believe that He’ll speak to us? So, we’re not just being “Wow, we just left the prayer meeting and we’re built up. Did you get anything?”
I always believe, I don’t doubt, if I’ll listen, He’s speaking. In that place we are built up, connected to a greater degree to Him, to heaven – that He is speaking to us.
Maybe sometimes we should just cease for a few minutes and let Him speak or He’ll speak to us while we are praying in other tongues, if we have ears to hear. It says in Mark “If any man has ears to hear, let him be listening.” Let them be aware of Who is speaking and then receive and it will be instructions or it will be help or it will be answers to situations that we need answers for. Amen.
We definitely know that we do not have all of the answers but we do know that You do. Thank You that in these places of Your presence and connections to You, You are continually speaking to us and You continue to speak to us. We desire to absolutely have ears to hear what You are saying to us personally. Maybe You are saying something personally to us, that You have a plan for us to give or speak to someone else, to be that light, be that help, to be the revelation for someone else.
We desire to always reach up and pull others up too. When we’re lifted up, when we’re built up, it’s more likely that we’ll have words to speak to those that are in positions of need, help, direction, plans, compassion. Thank You.
We resist the plans of the enemy to hold us back from these things and many times to hold us back from even praying more in other tongues.
This morning as we pray for a while in other tongues, I believe with our ears tuned in as we continually are built up in You, Lord, all those other things, all those other words, all those other situations get smaller and smaller and smaller and You become greater and greater and greater. You are our help, our strength. We will cooperate. We do cooperate.
There are no limitations as we’re lifted up because we are connected to the King of kings and Lord of lords by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Ms. Annie led us singing Holy Spirit You Are Welcome in This Place
Pastor Ray…
I keep seeing this. It seems like sometimes we do step over into a greater place of seeing or hearing or we could say knowing. But then other situations happen around us and we tend to kind of step back a bit.
Like I said about yesterday, there are things that maybe we’ve entered into or maybe we had received but then we backed up. But today, restoration, wholeness, it’s ours in this place, at this time, in this race, in the plan that God has for you and for me to operate on this earth and bring forth a testimony that many, many have never ever heard.
For the testimony, for we’ve overcome by the blood but we’ve also overcome through our testimonies! What You have done for us! And we know that You are no respecter of persons. If you did it for someone else, You’ll do it for us. You are doing it. You did it. Thank You!
The blood or the blood and the name is, it’s like a key and it’s a key to a door that opens up for more – greater revelation, greater understanding, greater restoration, greater wholeness and wellness.
We pray over our country, president, vice president, all of the president’s family, all those in the White House around him speaking. We pray for words of life, words of help and strength, wisdom.
Father, thank You, that we have a President now that would stand in front of hundreds of thousands of people, all those that are watching and declare “God, family, and country!” And behind him right, a Baptist pastor prays out the Word of God in the name of Jesus. So, Jesus was declared then in front of everyone. Oh, thank You, Father.
We lift up all of our leaders on every side, those that declared other things. We pray for our leaders in Jesus’ name and declare the blood to cover them. Hidden things be revealed, every lie to be stopped and the truth come forth – be revealed in Jesus’ name.
We declare Jesus is Lord over America, one nation under God. We do come against division of every kind in Jesus’ name. It’s not a decrease, an increase.
Father, we’re grateful, we’re thankful, wherever we’re weak and whenever we’re weak, You are strong and we are strong in that place. Thank You, Father.
Word of the Lord came forth:
I just felt like the Spirit was speaking your name, your first name. The things that have not yet materialized, don’t sweat it. For those things shall always… they’re coming to pass. For the things that have not turned, they will turn. Things are shaking. Things are always changing but for you personally, I know your name. I know your plan because I have created you and put that plan in you. Your destiny, your future, I called it and declared you to be free from every lack and over on track with Me in the things I have put within you to carry out.
Ms. Annie led us singing in tongues
Pastor Ray…
You know how the voice of the Spirit always lifts other people up. If there is a voice that’s telling us to speak division, that’s not Him. That is the enemy.
Every division within the body of Christ, we speak against. We speak unity. Where ministers are listening to the wrong voice and declaring those things that bring division, we come against it; take authority over division in the body of Christ wherever it pops up and push it away in the name of Jesus. Declaring today “a tremendous change and unity in the body of Christ in Jesus’ name.”
Remember in the Bible some disciples were upset because people were declaring the name of Jesus and they were not being who they should be. He said “Let them speak it. At least My name is being declared.”
Father, we thank You this morning for coming together in one accord, the body of Christ, going in the same direction serving You in Jesus’ name. Amen.
