Pastor Ray…
Hallelujah, Good Morning. It’s a Happy Wednesday. It’s a good day to lift Him up; magnify the name that’s above every other name, Jesus. He’s still on the throne. We’ve been given a place a seat in heavenly places. We’ll take that place this morning, where we can look over and see things in a clearer way, as we pray.
It’s amazing how you can go back and look at prophesies and see how they can so pertain to the days we are living in now. That’s why I wanted to go down through this prophecy by Brother Hagin.
Hallelujah. Thank you, Lord. Just welcome Your presence, You Holy Spirit, here out over the Internet. Thank You that there’s no distance in the realm of the spirit. We welcome you, Your manifested presence today. We’re so desirous of your presence. We need it. We want it. We’re hungry. We’re thirsty. We’re thankful for what You have done and what we’ve been able to receive.
We’re like those little birds in the nest. We’re hungry for more and we know we need more. However you choose to do it, do it, Lord. Thank You for your presence all over the earth, the earth covered and filled with your precious glory. Heaven’s way and heaven’s plans. Thank You, thank You, thank You, thank You. Hallelujah.
The following prophetic utterance was given by Kenneth E. Hagin in Detroit Michigan on July 18, 1989:
That’s yet to be manifest.
There’s a glory that’s yet to be revealed.
That would be more of Him, yet to be revealed. There’s a power that is yet to be in operation. Hallelujah. We agree.
We’ve seen a little speck of it here and a little speck of it there.
And [tongues] satisfied to stay where you are.
Satisfied to stay where you are.
Satisfied to stay where you are.
Satisfied to stay where you are.
Satisfied to stay where you are.
Satisfied? To stay where you are? That’s how I see it. It’s a question kind of – “satisfied to stay where you are?”
Stir yourself up and be satisfied only with the dissatisfaction that has to be satisfied again and again.
That’s good. Stir up yourself and only be satisfied with the dissatisfaction that has to be satisfied again and again. We could go on there again, and again, and again. Be being filled with the Holy Spirit, more and more and more. There are times and days, of course, when we see things in the natural. And there can be a kind of a draining. So, every day we need to be being filled and filled and filled with the power of Holy Spirit so we can actively do, go forward, do what He has called us to do.
Move on with Me, saith the Lord of hosts.
Okay, yes, Lord. Yesterday we sang that, Yes Lord, Yes Lord…
There’s a work that must be done.
There is a ministry that must be accomplished before the coming of the Son of Man.
True, the time of the end is at hand.
True, on the horizon of time you see those things happening in the world.
Wars and rumors of wars.
And pestilence, and famines, and earthquakes in diver’s places.
Men’s hearts failing them for fear.
For looking after the things that are coming to pass upon the earth.
When you see these things begin to come to pass.
And certainly they have begun to come to pass.
Lift up your heads and rejoice.
I love it. We see all these things coming to pass! We lift up our heads and we rejoice. We rejoice, let’s rejoice a little bit.
We rejoice from where all of our help comes from, You. So, we rejoice! We do. If our joy had gone down a bit, we rejoice. We re-joy. We stir ourselves up, speaking in the Spirit, praying every kind of prayer, stirring ourselves up, rejoicing and staying up! When we see ourselves getting down, we declare over ourselves, “turn it around, get up! Get up! Look up!” Rejoice! …Rejoice in the Lord, our God.
For your redemption draweth nigh.
There’s a work, there’s a ministry that must be accomplished.
There’s an army that must ARISE!
He’s speaking to the church now. We’re not talking about the natural. Armies, they have their place, of course. But here the Holy Spirit through him said…
And walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk in the realm of the Spirit.
Talk, talk, talk, talk in the power of the Spirit.
Minister, minister, minister with the manifestation of the Spirit.
Endowed, endued, with power from on High.
With the full equipment to stand in the office unto which you are called.
To speak as of the oracles of God.
Speaking His word, here’s what we say…
To speak and devils will have to tremble.
To speak and nations will change.
Speaking over our own nation. Speaking over your nation, wherever you are. Things will change… Things are changing. We speak and cities, whole cities will change! The church, that’s the picture, of the church, the army of God, speaking, declaring, not quitting, not giving up, not turning around, not sitting down – but rising up!
And the glory of God shall be in manifestation
I love it. Manifest presence of our God. In your heart, when that happens… It is happening. It will continue to happen.
And your heart shall have much cause for rejoicing.
But prepare yea, your hearts.
Lay aside every weight and the sin which does so easily beset you.
For they that bear the Ark of the Lord must be clean.
We’ve been cleansed. We are washed. Thank you, Father, for the blood. It’s working for us all the time, every day, in every way. Thank You for the blood, for the blood of that precious Lamb.
In and through that precious blood there’s a picture and that picture is, we overcome. We keep on overcoming. We keep rejoicing. We stay stirred up. We stay, looking up, rejoicing, hallelujah! Calling the things that are not, as though they were, lifted up.
God’s not mocked.
Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap!
Walk on and the reaping day will come.
That is so good. I have faith in it. Keep on walking, keep on moving, keep on singing, keep on rejoicing, keep on getting up, keep on looking up, and the reaping day will come! What we sow today, we shall reap in our next days. We sow it. We’ll reap it! We’ll sow it and reap it! Hallelujah!
But judge yourself and it’s written you’ll not be judged.
Yea, I am preparing an army for these last days.
You have a part in that preparation.
For there are not only officers in the army of the Lord.
For there are not only officers in the army of the Lord.
But there are foot soldiers.
And everyone is a soldier in the army of the Lord.
Hear ye, hear ye what the Spirit is saying unto the churches.
For these are the last days.
These are the last days! THESE ARE THE LAST DAYS! We’ve heard it. We bless Your name. We don’t want to stay the same. We don’t want to stay the way. We’re not satisfied just to stay the way we are. But like you said, Lord, to stir ourselves up and only be satisfied with the dissatisfaction that has to be satisfied again and again and again and again and again. Cause there’s more! There’s more! There’s more! There’s more! There’s greater! There is a reaping!
So, we’ll stay steadfast. We’ll take our armor. We’ll do what you called us to do. Put it on. We have Your Word. We have the power of the Holy Spirit. We have the name that is above every other name. What is that? Jesus! Jesus!

Scripture focus…
(1) The Lord is my Light and my Salvation—whom shall I fear or dread? The Lord is the Refuge and Stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?
(4) One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek, inquire for, and [insistently] require: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life, to behold and gaze upon the beauty [the sweet attractiveness and the delightful loveliness] of the Lord and to meditate, consider, and inquire in His temple.
(5) For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; in the secret place of His tent will He hide me; He will set me high upon a rock.
(6) And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me; in His tent I will offer sacrifices and shouting of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.
Joy! Joy! Gladness! Thankfulness! Praise! Praise the Lord! Oh, for the Lord is good! Ha, ha! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Oh, we praise Your name, Lord! Here in this house we lift You up! We take our place and praise You!
(7) Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud; have mercy and be gracious to me and answer me!
(8) You have said, Seek My face [inquire for and require My presence as your vital need]. My heart says to You, Your face (Your presence), Lord, will I seek, inquire for, and require [of necessity and on the authority of Your Word].
(9) Hide not Your face from me; turn not Your servant away in anger, You Who have been my help! Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation!
(10) Although my father and my mother have forsaken me, yet the Lord will take me up [adopt me as His child].
(11) Teach me Your way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain and even path because of my enemies [those who lie in wait for me].
(12) Give me not up to the will of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me; they breathe out cruelty and violence.
(13) [What, what would have become of me] had I not believed that I would see the Lord’s goodness in the land of the living!
(14) Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord. Psalm 27:7-14 (AMPC)
(7) The Lord is my Strength and my [impenetrable] Shield; my heart trusts in, relies on, and confidently leans on Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song will I praise Him.
(8) The Lord is their [unyielding] Strength, and He is the Stronghold of salvation to [me] His anointed.
(9) Save Your people and bless Your heritage; nourish and shepherd them and carry them forever. Psalm 28:1, 4-9 (AMPC)
Pastor Tim leads us in praising the Lord…
Pastor Ray…
Seems like this morning, the more we lift Him up, the less I can even think about the pictures that we can see on our TVs or the words that we can hear, daily. We could do it 24/7. But, as we just keep lifting up the Lord, He takes out of the natural kinds of thinking. And we can be that army member that we’ve been called to be, in that army of God, and call the things that are not, as though they were. And by faith, believe we’re going to see them! Hallelujah! Keep shouting onto the Lord. You’re good! Your mercy is enduring forever. We’re above and we’re not down beneath. We’re the head, and we’re not the tail. We’re going somewhere to happen. We’ve got the goods. We’ve got the plan, and it’s Your plan, Lord! It’s always been You! It’s always been Your strength. It’s always been Your help! It’s always been your Joy! Joy! Joy! Joy!
Scripture focus…
(1) The king [David] shall joy in Your strength, O Lord; and in Your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
He’s talking to himself. It’s a Psalm, but it’s a confession, really.
(2) You have given him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah [pause, and think of that]!
(3) For You send blessings of good things to meet him; You set a crown of pure gold on his head.
(4) He asked life of You, and You gave it to him—long life forever and evermore.
(5) His glory is great because of Your aid; splendor and majesty You bestow upon him.
(6) For You make him to be blessed and a blessing forever; You make him exceedingly glad with the joy of Your presence.
(7) For the king trusts, relies on, and is confident in the Lord, and through the mercy and steadfast love of the Most High he will never be moved. Psalm 21:1-7 (AMPC)
We will not be moved by what we see naturally. But we are so moved by what we see supernaturally. What do we see? We’re blessed! We’re healed. We’re whole. We’re healthy. We’ve been restored. Even in the natural, things are turning and turning and turning and changing and we declare it. We speak it, like we said it in the beginning. We speak and the devil trembles. We speak and things change. We speak over cities, and what happens to them? They change more in God’s way. Hallelujah!
We have declared from this chapel for years, upon years, that Minnesota is moving more in God’s right way. And you know, we’re not looking in the natural. We’re declaring it by words of faith, that Minnesota, Minneapolis, St. Paul, like Pastor Tim said, all the surrounding areas.
Wherever you are, whatever city you’re in. Whatever state you’re in. Whatever country you’re in. We speak over these situations. Just like David said. He’s blessed! He’s re-joying – rejoicing! He’s taken the joy, taken it, receiving it. Whatever he’s asked, God has given and made available to him in the same way! It’s true for us!
Today, our cities are changing in God’s ways. Our states are changing in God’s right ways. Things are turning around. Some things are turning absolutely upside down! Oh, the peace of God. The peace of God! That precious holy peace of God that passes all understanding. We can’t even understand some of it. Thank you! We don’t! We do not. We cannot. Hallelujah! Thank you, Father. Thank you, Lord.
Scripture focus…
(1) The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack.
(2) He makes me lie down in [fresh, tender] green pastures; He leads me beside the still and restful waters.
(3) He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness [uprightness and right standing with Him—not for my earning it, but] for His name’s sake.
(4) Yes, though I walk through the [deep, sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort me.
I like that picture. Your rod, God’s Word to protect us. The blood to protect us. We’re protected by the blood. We have the name that is above every other name. We have the power of the Holy Spirit working through us. Thank you. Thank you, in Your guiding. You said you would. You’ve said it here. You’ve said it in other places in the Word. You would lead us into all truth. The truth of what you’ve pre-planned for us. The truth. Thank You, Lord.
(5) You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my [brimming] cup runs over.
(6) Surely or only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord [and His presence] shall be my dwelling place. Psalm 23 (AMPC)
Pastor Tim led us singing God You Are So Good…
Pastor Ray…
Surely, His goodness and His mercies, His unfailing love shall follow you all throughout your days. Surely, we plead the blood of Jesus over you, whatever the situation might be! Whatever the Devil was trying to do, he’s defeated! You’re above. You’re healed. You’re whole. You’re prosperous in every way. Surely, (laughing) you’re absolutely, completely, blessed in every way!
Stay strong. Stay speaking that Word that you know all day long! Whoa! Surely His goodness and mercies shall follow you! Every one of us! Every day of our lives! Hallelujah.
He knows the hairs on our head. He knows our names. We can put our names in there. This just came to my remembrance. I came out of the old building and Pastor Lynne was sitting in the car in anther realm. She was reading about the empty tomb. She said she put herself in the tomb so she could see it more clearly. She would do that with the Word, just put herself in there, on the boat, wherever, whatever was happening in the book, in the Word, she put herself right on the scene. She received it, believed it.
We are going to speak this over our nation and all over the earth.
(4) And they shall rebuild the ancient ruins; they shall raise up the former desolations and renew the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations. Isaiah 61:4 (AMPC)
Renew and restore in Jesus’ name the devastations of many generations, being rebuilt, being renewed! Hallelujah! Because He’s good and His mercy is enduring forever and ever and ever. And we’ve overcome because He overcame on the Cross at Calvary. Thank You, Jesus, today, for what You did then and Thank You, Holy Spirit. You are with us. You are touching us. You are renewing us. Restored. Restored. Restoring. Making new, changing, rearranging, opening, closing, showing us the ways to go, steps, words, plans, declarations, hallelujah.
The Lord is good! We can’t help but to be up, joyful and rejoicing in what He’s done. Hallelujah. It’s the truth. People should be… okay. You’re shopping for groceries. You are in the store. Have you noticed how people will shuffle over and get away from you? There is so much fear. But we cannot allow fear to get on us. We’ve been delivered from fear, every wrong way of the enemy and we’ve overcome through that precious blood. Amen.
