Worship began with Jerre singing…
Oh, I’ve tasted and seen of the sweetest of love, when my heart becomes free and my shame is undone. Your presence, Lord. Holy Spirit, you are welcome here. Come flood this place and fill the atmosphere. Your glory, God, is what our hearts long for, to be overcome by Your presence. Your presence, Lord. Oh I’ve tasted and seen of the sweetest of loves when my heart becomes free and my shame is undone. Oh, Your presence, Lord…

He’s our guide. He leads us. He is our leader and He is guiding us. He’s our teacher. He speaks and is continually speaking to us, directing us, helping us, guiding us, and teaching us. We welcome You. I feel the more time we spend like this, we yield and then we yield a little bit more. For me it’s like I have a door in my heart and I keep opening it up wider the more I yield to His help. Yielding to the guidance that He gives and how He teaches us and how He speaks to us and how He reveals to us. The things that are to come. The plans He said He would show us, revealing them to us. He instructs us. He testifies of Jesus. He calls us. Father, we thank You that You continually call us forward for we know there is more.
I wanted to go over the fruit that the Holy Spirit produces in us (Galatians 5:22–23). The fruit of the Holy Spirit, or His presence within, accomplishes love, joy, gladness, peace, patience, and even temper, forbearance, kindness, goodness, benevolence, faithfulness, gentleness, meekness, humility, self-control, and self-restraint—against such things there is no law. Verse 25, if we live by the Holy Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. If by the Holy Spirit, we have our life in God. Let us go forward walking in line our conduct controlled by the Spirit.

The river is flowing… a flow toward those real high profile positions on the earth; they will begin to come in. One right after the other, and some will come in together. High profile positions that will begin to stand up and speak up for the King of kings and the Lord of lords. It will be a “suddenly,” and it will be shown on the media because they’re so high profile and it’s such a big change, such a paradigm shift. But we see rivers of life going toward them right now. We pray over them. You know them, Lord, the specific names. You know their situations. You know where they are and what they’re doing. You have a plan for them. You put Your plan inside each one. We lift them before You.
Prayed…
We pray over that river and those rivers to flow wherever they need to go to bring it forth
This is the hour and the right time
They’ll be in different walks of life
They’ll rise up out of the old ways and speak forth and bring about a change
Nations will say, “Did you hear what so and so said?”
They’ll begin to join the body of Christ
It will be the truth of Your Word, and it won’t be mixed up
It will be revelation from heaven
We make room for it with our prayers
They’ll know what to say and they’ll mature in a quick Holy Ghost supernatural way
By Your love and the fruit of Your Spirit in them will make a difference

Step by step from one wrung to the next. Excelling higher and higher and higher. Levels, a higher level. Ascending into that place. Into the place… hold them in their places, their position… at the right time, at the right moment, a time that all this energy, all that’s necessary to cause this to be, all the things that are necessary … a positioning of this one, a positioning of that one, a positioning of the next one. Each joint supplies. No longer sitting on the side. No longer watching anymore. But standing up and stepping in and stepping out in the name of Jesus…
Yeah, one step, one step gives entrance to the next. The next step gives entrance to the next. The door opens when you take the step. So take the step forward, moving in, making progress, stepping up. Each joint supplies and comes to its place. The great move. Hunger, increase hunger, increase desire… a yearning, a desire… “I can’t stay on the side any longer! I can’t sit down any longer. I have to stand up. I got to get in. I got to move into the plan. I got to move into the place. I can’t sit on the side any longer. It pulls me. It pulls me in. It draws me in.” Drawing, drawing, drawing to what? It’s obvious. It’s obvious.
Ray prayed…
How many? How many more steps? How much further? How much more time? How many more days? How many more weeks? How many more months? How many more years? My Father, greater illumination about the days. Greater uncovering about the days.

Dave, when you started praying in tongues right at the beginning, I heard in your tongues “Dock your ship.” And it took me over to Monaco. It’s a country but there are so many multimillionaires and billionaires. There is so much money in that country. There was a call going to that transfer of wealth. It seemed like people were cruising the sea, just floating around in their ships when… suddenly. It reminded me of when the presence of God would come upon the ships that were coming into this country where the presence was manifested and men, women would come under that presence. When they came to shore, they wanted to know where to go so they could connect with God. It reminded me of that presence, how it will direct and make those that are “wandering ones” not knowing what to do, just whiling away the time, having so much money they do not know what to do with it. But suddenly the presence and prayers of the righteous going forth and preparing those ways, those steps and situations, those ships that will dock and those that are captains and owners will begin to come in right after another and it’ll bring about a great awakening. Some are so up in age they’re about to exit and they’ve never come in. But they’ll begin to come in right at the last days of their lives here in this earth.
Dave prayed…
There’s a greater work than man’s work. There’s a greater kingdom than man’s kingdom. It’s a greater world and greater work. It’s the work of Christ in the earth. The blood is to go forth to every generation to the north, south, east, and west. Yes, that’s the message of Christ. It is the blood sacrifice. It is that which has brought provision to earth for every man, woman, and child. Every person on this planet—that they might receive Jesus Christ, that they might have salvation from the Father above. That free gift is what it’s all about. It’s about getting that plan to fruition and bringing it to maturity. Causing men and women who have been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the provision to get into the game. And they’ve been sitting down and waiting on God, thinking, “Lord, when are you going to move me. How are you going to move me out?” But the plan is in place. The plan is going forth and the Holy Spirit is moving and causing men of influence to come forth. A yearning, a cry from within to no longer to desire the things of this world but to desire the things of God, to press pass those natural things and to embrace the things that are eternal. It’s a magnet that is drawing unto Him. Those men who are sitting on their boats and their offices who are wondering, “Is there anything more? I’ve achieved all this but is there anymore? What else is left? I have nothing to fulfill myself,” and then I come calling. I knock on the heart of man and I show a new way. And I draw them unto Me. Yes, great work in the heavens now. The angels are going to and fro throughout the earth putting things into place. Those who would be used will come forth.
Barb prayed…
Sweeping in, sweeping them into the river, into the right river. Sweep them in… All through those places, Father. They thought they were going one way but You swept them in by the Holy Ghost. Look what the Holy Ghost brought in. The anointing that destroys those yokes, that removes the darkness, allows them to see the way. Blinders removed. No more, no more wasting time. It’s time to get in, get into the river, into the right river. All that God has brought in… In the upper room there came a sound as a mighty rushing wind. I thank You, Father, that even now that rushing mighty wind is moving all through the earth. You are moving and You are drawing men and women into their places and into You. There’s no time to waste. It’s time to gather up and gird your loins and get ready to run. It’s time to run for the finish. Resting, resting, resting… a place of rest in the run. Because the Holy Ghost comes on you and you can run and run and run. You can do great and mighty works. Go on! God has made a way where there didn’t seem to be a way. It’s open and clear. You go! Those that need to go, go and those that need to come, they come in! No more delays in Jesus’ name. We’re trusting and leaning entirely on You. It’s not us. It’s all You.
Dave prayed…
A unity, a calling together, a unity of the brethren coming together in agreement, no longer the barriers of religion, but a unity of knowing by the spirit that this is the right thing. Those that have been segregated by religion and divided by denomination, no longer see the denominational lines but they recognize this is the move of God. That it is a move that brings unity to the whole body as one. All together as one. Just one body together moving as one force in agreement. Giving way one to another, considering one another. Not looking for position but looking for His position. God’s great manifestations, meetings, outdoor meetings great in magnitude, things that are not organized but come together. Mass congregation, bringing together masses in different cities. No longer looking at those people in the news—this group protesting this and another group for that… No! This will dwarf that. It will move and cause things to come, the things that are to be for this hour. It will cause them to come.

When Dave was praying about ministries and cities, when we were with Patsy in France, she declared some things over the ministry gifts like the pastors, teachers, prophets. She expounded on each one for the days that we’re living in, how pastors would pastor in a different way. That we would minister “out of the box” so to speak. One thing she said that got my attention was that in the last days there will be prisons that will be known as some of the greatest churches on the face of the earth. Prisons! No limits and no restraints. We’re open, yielded to everything the Holy Spirit wants to do here in this place and this ministry.
