Ms. Annie led us singing We Come to Worship You, Right Here in Your Presence
Pastor Ray…
We love You, Your ways.
We could go on the GPAN website and read everything that’s been prayed in here going way back. I was thinking, if we could see the same thing with our lives, the things that happened because of the blood and because of the presence, and because of the name that is above every other name, and how maybe we were able to avoid certain things, accidents that were planned that didn’t happen because we took the right turn when we needed to take the right turn, just because of our connection to heaven and that we’re children of the King of kings and the Lord of lords, and our Father loves us so much.
He loves us so much that He gave His only Son that we might be able to go forth and not just barely go but go in victory, overcome obstacles, things that try to get in the way, to not be defeated but walk in the victorious way. If we could just get a read out… And I know there are things we will never know until we are in heaven. But a lot of times in here I wish we could just pray everything we need to pray for the future and be done with it. I don’t mean “be done with it.” I love coming in here and praying. I am not saying that.
But we don’t just pray once and everything is covered just for the sake of getting it covered. If we just assumed because we’ve declared the blood and the blood was shed, what was done for us at Calvary, if we just assumed that God in heaven would reach down every day and put the blood over our doorpost or whatever. It’s not automatic. But it is available. It’s been supplied but it’s up to us to receive it. It’s the same with the presence. We have His presence. He’s living in us. But there is more and we’re able to come in, like this morning, we just come in and believe to enter in to that presence.
Yesterday, there was a lady that came up to me after prayer. She said she came for a different meeting, but before she went she had told some ladies she was with that she couldn’t talk because she had to go in the chapel and be healed. So, her faith was in just getting into the chapel and then she would be healed. She had something in her brain, maybe a balance issue, that was really disturbing her. She came up front after prayer and said that she was healed just being in the room. Nobody prayed over her. Nobody spoke a certain word to her but by faith she said “I am going to the chapel and I am going to be healed.”
I love that! He honored that. He honors our faith, what we believe.
Scripture focus…
(18) For it is through Him that we both [whether far off or near] now have an introduction (access) by one [Holy] Spirit to the Father [so that we are able to approach Him].
(19) Therefore you are no longer outsiders (exiles, migrants, and aliens, excluded from the rights of citizens), but you now share citizenship with the saints (God’s own people, consecrated and set apart for Himself); and you belong to God’s [own] household.
(20) You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus Himself the chief Cornerstone.
(21) In Him the whole structure is joined (bound, welded) together harmoniously, and it continues to rise (grow, increase) into a holy temple in the Lord [a sanctuary dedicated, consecrated, and sacred to the presence of the Lord].
(22) In Him [and in fellowship with one another] you yourselves also are being built up [into this structure] with the rest, to form a fixed abode (dwelling place) of God in (by, through) the Spirit.
Pastor Ray…
Thank You for the presence. We love it. We want it. We open up our hearts to more of Your presence. Thank You, Lord.
Ms. Annie led us singing I Love, I Love Your Presence
Pastor Ray…
I wrote these things out this morning. It could be the presence. It could be the blood. The benefits of His goodness, by His presence, by the power of His blood when we believe it, declare it, use it.
1. Protection from the works of the enemy
2. Forgiveness
3. Security in God’s grace
4. Reconciliation
5. Cleansing
6. Sanctification
7. Access to His very presence
8. Victory
9. Peace
10. Eternal life
11. The Power of God that works for us; through us for others too
The ability that comes to us to overcome the works of the enemy. Many times we didn’t even know what they were, how he planned to do it, but we’ve overcome by that blood.
12. Promise of the Spirit
13. Boldness to enter the Holy of Holies
Boldness knowing what we declare, because He has given us the authority to declare it, it comes to pass. And like I said in the beginning, I might like everything to just take place right now, every battle won, all of the different things lined up the way they should be… but we know that it is, step by step and day by day, week by week, month after month after month and year after year, that’s the way it is. We persist and contend but we keep on walking. Thank You, Lord.
Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Father. Let’s let go of any kind of hindrance that has been trying to hold us down. That’s what I heard in my spirit. Let go. Let it go. Let it go. Watch it leave in Jesus’ name. For we, you and I, have been given the authority to speak what must be done and it will be done. We have been given authority to make a difference on this earth for others to get up, rise up, out of the darkness and get into Your presence too.
Oh, Father, this morning we hold up, lift up every leader, positions of authority. We pray over them.
Ms. Annie prays for our nation…
Let intercession, prayers, and giving of thanks be made for all men and especially for those in authority that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness. Oh, Lord, we lift up the leaders of this nation, the president, the congress, the Senate, the House of Representatives, all of the bureaucrats in the swamp, all of the leaders of schools, universities, and especially the leaders of households that all of them would be making right decisions. The Kings heart is in the hand of the Lord and You direct it as the water courses. So, Lord, we are asking You to take hold of the hearts of the leaders, Lord. From the King to the justices in the courts, to the fathers and the mothers, to the teachers, administrators, and all of the congressmen, mayors of cities, every leader in every place, leaders of corporations, leaders of the financial systems, leaders of the military, intelligence agencies. Father, take hold of their hearts and direct them in Your ways. Direct their hearts as the water courses into Your way. Guide their thoughts into the way of peace.
And we take authority now over every lying spirit, spirits of deception and lying spirits! We bind you away from the thoughts and the hearts of all of our leaders. They do not give head to ungodly council. But they give heed to the council of God. They give heed to the council of Your Word, Your wisdom. We bind every ungodly council away from them!
Let Your judgments be in our land Lord, Your righteous judgments Lord. Let the judgments of wickedness be cast to the ground in Jesus’ name. We exalt wisdom Lord. We exalt Your wisdom highly in our land, Your Word in our land. You have exalted Your Word even above Your name. So, we exalt the Word of God in this land. The wisdom of God is ruling and reigning in America! Is ruling and reigning in the thoughts of our leaders!
Deliver us Lord from wicked and ungodly men who know not the truth but let us have righteous judges, let us have righteous leaders, let us have righteous legislators. For the scepter of wickedness will not rest upon our land allotted to the righteous. Lord, Your Words are good and true, righteous and just! Stretch forth Your hand from above, Lord, and rescue, deliver this nation out of the hand of ungodly and wicked people. Let the things that are whispered in the darkness be shouted from the housetops! Let them be shouted from the housetops! Let truth and justice prevail!
Lord the kings of the earth have taken council together against You and against Your anointed righteous people! But You who sit in the heaven’s laugh! Let them be scattered in their own conceit! You scatter the proud in their own pride! The very thing that they behave proudly against You, Lord, You show them to be in the wrong.
Lift up the humble and the lowly, Lord. And let the wicked be cast down in their ways! Wicked and ungodly people will not prosper in our government. They will get out of our government. We don’t allow them in our government! We forbid their ungodly doings! We bind their ungodly plots! We forbid them in Jesus’ name.
Father, You show the strength of Your arm. You scatter the proud in their own imagination! You lift up the meek and the lowly and You cast the wicked down to the ground in their dealings. Let there be confusion in every ungodly plan! Confusion in every ungodly plot! The wicked are confused in their plot and their plans come to nothing! The way of the wicked is as deep darkness and they do not even know it, they stumble. They are stumbling in their dark ways! But the ways of righteousness are light and truth! The ways of God are prospering! The ways of God are going forth in righteousness and mercy and love and justice!
Father, we lift up President Trump that he would not listen to ungodly council, that he only listens to the council of the Holy One, the Holy Righteous God of Jacob! Father, give him a humble heart. Father, we plead the blood of Jesus over his heart. Keep his heart humble and teachable, Lord, that he would listen to You, to Your ways, that he would listen to Your voice.
We forbid pride to operate against our president! That he would stay humble in his own sight. Put him in remembrance of everything You have said to him, Lord. Give him a heart after You own heart, a heart like David to do Your will, a heart to do Your will. Open President Trumps eyes that he may see the great things in You law, that he may see great and mighty things in Your law! In Your Word! In You ways.
Set a watch over his mouth, Lord, that he would only speak words that come from You. Let Your Words in his mouth be like a hammer that breaks the hardest rock. Oh, but let his words be like the words of Jesus where they marveled at the gracious words that fell from Jesus lips. We pray for the grace of Jesus to be on our president’s lips, Lord, that when he opens his mouth, You fill it Father because he represents us! He represents Your blood bought people! We are Your blood bought people! Let all of our leaders represent us and represent You in righteousness and holiness all their days.
We pray that our leaders hear a voice behind them saying “This is the way. Walk in it.” When they turn to the right or turn to the left, the love of God and the power of God and the blood of Jesus corrects their path, a correction on the right hand, a correction on the left hand. “This is the Way! Walk ye in it!”
Remove pride far from us Lord. Remove pride far from our leaders! Let not the foot of pride have a stamp or a way in this nation. Oh, we pray for supernatural correction of every wrong step, wrong path, wrong way – a supernatural correction! Because in Your correction, there is protection!
Oh, Father, when we listen to Your correction, and walk in Your protection… so we pray for supernatural correction to all of our leaders – starting with us, Lord, that we would have ears to hear to be corrected and then be protected! There is a correction and reversal of every wrong decision in Jesus’ name. Oh, we call for righteous decisions, right decisions that come from Your throne, Lord. From Your throne we listen to You and the voice of a stranger we will never follow. And we pray that our leader listen to You too. They do not follow the voice of strangers. They follow the voice of the Good Shepherd and they go in and out and find pasture.
Father, we do not come because we are righteous. But we come because Jesus blood is righteous. Oh, Jesus blood is so righteous and we stand in His blood made righteous by His blood, Lord. You said You hear our prayers, Lord. You hear us Lord when we call. Oh, we plead the blood of Jesus over all the sins of the United States of America and over our sins. Oh, the blood of Jesus is crying out for the precious fruit of the earth! The souls of the people Lord, the spirit, the eternal destinies of all these people! They are like sheep without a shepherd, Father, and You have compassion on them.
With You there is forgiveness that You may be feared. Oh, Father, we look not at the things that are seen but the things that are unseen. So, we decide and decree right now that we’re not ever going to have abortion in this land. You got rid of human slavery and You can get rid of abortion in Jesus’ name! Because there is nothing too hard for You! And You can get rid of perversion! And You can get rid of deception! And you can get rid of wrong religion in Jesus’ name!
Put Your righteous ways in the hearts of our leaders. As the water course direct their hearts to Your Word, to Your laws, to Your ways, to Your precepts. Remove every ungodly judge! They will not render unrighteous judgments any longer in Jesus’ name. Thank you, Lord.
Pastor Ray…
I saw this while we were praying in other tongues and praying out for others, especially our nation and the President. Who knows, we don’t know all of the other ones that we are praying for, but as we sow seeds of faith, faith-filled prayers, praying in the Holy Spirit, praying in other tongues, the Spirit of God… I just got a glimpse of this, it’s like He laid out a blueprint that is ours personally, our own blueprint. You know how He put within us before we were even born. He had a plan for each one of us individually and it was almost like He took it out to see what needed to be changed, altered, or rearranged and our tongues, as we prayed out and sowed those prayer seeds for others, those things that we sow, of course, we receive back unto us. And those things that we began to pray this morning were coming back to us as we prayed by the Spirit in other tongues and some things that needed to be rearranged for US are being rearranged TODAY! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! To line up with the original plan! To line up with our manufacturer’s plans for us individually, corporately as a body here at Living Word, for our pastors Mac and Lynne – it’s all working together for God knows what to do and when to do it! Hallelujah.
So, we believe it. We receive it today. It’s a benefit of praying by Holy Spirit in other tongues!
Yes, restorations, resources. Thank You, Father, for the free flow, for the victory way, for today is a new day. Thank You for it.
So, we look up with the eyes of our faith where all of our help, all of the changes come. It’s Your presence, wonderful, wonderful Holy Spirit.
Ha, ha, ha, some things are shifting. It’s like some walls are being taken out of the way, removed, doorways, openings, seeing and knowing.
Ms. Annie led singing Peace, Peace, Wonderful Peace
Pastor Ray…
Thank you, Father. That precious peace, that rest, strength, endurance, compassion, just that flow of Your precious love through us to bring change through our words, through our steps wherever we go. It’s Your presence. Thank you for Your presence, Lord, today. All of the glory for what takes place, You get glory, honor. Thank You. We’re strong in You. We are equipped and we know what to do. We thank You for it in Jesus’ name. Amen.
