Prayer Summary for Friday, June 26, 2015

Pastor Ray shared…

The best that we can do is to continually put our trust in Him. I always like it when Miss Jerre starts singing and playing; I like to just sit there and yield to the Spirit.

I’ve always like the scripture in Isaiah 55:6–11.

“Seek, inquire for, and require the Lord while He may be found [claiming Him by necessity and by right]; call upon Him while He is near. 7 Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the Lord, and He will have love, pity, and mercy for him, and to our God, for He will multiply to him His abundant pardon. 8 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord. 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts. 10 For as the rain and snow come down from the heavens, and return not there again, but water the earth and make it bring forth and sprout, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, 11 So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” (Amp.)

We stood on these scriptures when one of our children almost died from an attack from a sickness. It was years ago, but I remember someone coming to the hospital to stand in agreement and pray with us. We were standing on this scripture. His word will not return void without doing what He said it would do. Like this morning right now, we’re waiting on Him. Miss Jerre is singing “We wait on You…” We wait for Him to do the things that are higher than the things that we can do and to have the thoughts that are higher than our thoughts. I know that work was already done on the cross through Jesus by the shedding of the blood, and really, we could say the waiting is our part. We wait, we serve Him, we wait on Him, we wait for the manifestation of what He’s already said. We increase our expectation, believing what He said will come to pass. A lot of things in the news that could give us a little shaking. But our God, our King and our Lord is an awesome God. All powerful. All authority. His Word does not return void without doing what He said it would do. Every time.

Thank You, Father, that you’re still the same, that Your Word is working like it worked yesterday. Your Word will work tomorrow like it worked today. That You are continually the way You said You would be. And we trust in You, that You’re working in us because You said You would. And You’re leading us and guiding us into all truth, the truth of Your Word, things that we need to know now, words that we need to speak now, prayers that we must pray. We yield ourselves this morning to You and trust in You.

Alright, Miss Jerre, why don’t you sing a little bit more now please…

Jerre shares…

When you said, “You give us the prayers to pray and we trust in You,” I’m playing this little song that I got on the way to church from the Lord. Those words are in it, what you just said. So praise the Lord! It’s a good one for us to sing all day long, just to carry within us a psalm throughout the day. It went like this…

♪ You give me the prayers to pray… So that every day in every way I put my trust in You… You give me the song to sing… So that every day in every way I put my trust in You… You give me the power to obey… So that every day in every way I put my trust in You… You give me the way to walk… So that every day in every way I put my trust in You… You show me the way to go… So that every day in every way I put my trust in You… You have put Your love in my heart… So that every day in every way I put my trust in You… You give me the words to speak… So that every day in every way I put my trust in You… You have put Your joy in my heart… So that every day in every way I put my trust in You… You have put Your peace in my life… So that every day in every way I put my trust in You… ♪

I like that because we’re supposed to follow the peace of God—every day all the way through. If there is something that creates the opposite of peace, then… Stop. Watch. Observe. Wait on Him. As we sang, I saw a picture of a suitcase that was opened and someone was putting inside the suitcase the opposite of everything we would want—fear, doubt, lack, poverty, sickness—all the negative things that are the opposite to trusting in the Lord. They had been trusting in the world’s ways. It’s easy to do, trust in the natural, trust in our own strength. It seemed like they just threw it all in there and slammed the case shut. I didn’t see what they did with it, but I know they got rid of it. We have to make these choices daily to stay seated in our heavenly place with Him high above. For the God that we serve is King and Lord, the great “I AM,” making us to be overcomers, making change continually inside each of us as His children.

We thank You, Father. We worship You and honor You and magnify You.

Jerre continues singing…

♪ You have given me a worshiping heart… so that every day in every way I put my trust in You… You have given me an abundant supply… so that every day in every way I put my trust in You… You have given me Your authority… so that every day in every way I put my trust in You… You have given me prayers to pray… so that every day in every way I put my trust in You… You have given me Your great love… so that every day in every way I put my trust in You…

Pastor Ray shared…

Let’s take this trust in Him and pray over the body of Christ. I know there are attacks all the time against the body of Christ. Leaders for sure… pressure to maybe trust not totally in what the Word says, but trust in some natural things, maybe some of the world’s ways. We lift the body of Christ up before You…

Prayed…

We declare Your blessings over the body of Christ
We plead the blood of Jesus over the body
Every individual member, every corporate body, every ministry that has set You as its head and declared Jesus is Lord
The blood of the Lamb, we declare that as their covering
Not mental, but by the Spirit
For answers, for help today, for revelation today, for insight today, for that strength and peace
To not lean or trust in the things of the world but to lean and trust in You
Run to heaven’s way, run to the throne
Answers right now in Jesus’ name—help, revelation, assistance
Ministering spirits, Go! Minister to the body
Turns, changes, shifts today
Help right there in Jesus’ name
For a strengthening in the body
Prayers to pray for the body of Christ
To press and move in the right way
Authority
Light, revelation
