Mary led group in worship…
Pastor Ray shared…
Good morning. I wanted to start out by reading something brother Copeland declared in 2016. I thought it was really interesting before the election, things the Holy Spirit said through him. This starts out with a familiar word—change. Pastor Mac prophesied and declared at the beginning of 2017 that it would be a year of change. And it has been a year of change.
Great Change
Change. Great change. In some areas, monumental change is coming to North America—not just the United States. Monumental change in Mexico. Great outpouring of My Spirit and My glory. Great change in Canada and in the Northern territories—all the way as far north as you can go.
Marvelous and wonderful changes among the people. Marvelous and wonderful, miraculous changes in the mechanical structure of this planet. Changes that so many have been concerned about for so long.
I have heard the prayers. I have not paid any attention to the voice of the politicians because they don’t know what they are talking about in most cases. But, I have heard the honest, heart-felt prayers of My people and I am fixing it, saith the Lord. I am fixing this. Rest in Me and you will see it come to pass.
The Elections
Well, what about the elections in 2016? And what about 2017?
Pray. Hold fast before Me. Great changes are coming in the United States. For again, I have heard the prayers of My people. And I am moving now, healing this land, saith the Lord.
Things are changing. Some things are going to happen between now and election time. Pay attention. Pay attention to the Spirit. Pray in the Spirit. Hold fast to the truth—not the news broadcast.
I said, Change is coming. I am not talking about just the natural flow of things. There are going to be changes in political parties. There are going to be changes here and changes there, and nothing is like it looks now. The awakening is here. It is here. It isn’t coming. It’s here. The more you pray, the more it will increase. I’m not done with the United States. This is my country. I built it. I bought and paid for it. It is Mine.
I’m going to tell you something that was brought to my attention a number of years ago. It impacted me greatly and it just rose up on the inside of me again. Some very close friends of ours had a visitation of the Lord. They wrote and told us about it. The Lord said to them, “The United States is the only nation in history that was founded by a people who love Me for the purpose of worshiping Me. I created the nation of Israel because I love them. The United States was created by people that love Me and I will never forget it, saith the Lord. He is at work. This place belongs to Him. It was given to Him by people that came to worship Him.
The Political Conventions
This change is coming. Not any of it is going to be like it looks right now. There is going to be change between now and the political conventions. There is going to be things that will happen in those conventions that you haven’t even thought of yet—both of them.
The Best of Times—The Worst of Times
These are the best of times and the worst of times. Those of you, My people, that will harken unto Me and follow My lead, you can walk right now, not later, now in the most prosperous time you have ever known in your life. It is only going to get better and better and better and better and better and better.
For those who are not listening to Me and refuse to listen to Me and go on their own way, regardless of what happens to the nation’s economy—for them it is going to get worse and worse and worse and worse and worse.
More is coming that is disastrous. It is coming. But you pray in the Spirit. As you pray and believe God—as you walk by faith, it will go over you, it will go around you. It may brush you a little bit, but you just brush it off and continue to move right on.
Stay in the Love of God
But be very aware to stay in the Word, stay on the Word, walk by faith and whatever you do, stay in the love of God. For therein lies your miracles, your deliverance, and your prosperity is in My love.
That is the only reason you got saved; it’s because I love you. The only reason you got healed is because I love you. That’s the only reason you prosper; it is because I love you. The only reason you have anything is because I love you.
I created Heaven because I love you. I created the goodness of this earth because I love you, saith the Lord.
So walk in My love. Share My love. Do not allow strife of any kind to get in your house. It is the most dangerous serpent that you could possibly have anything to do with. Keep him out of your house.
Serve Me With Joyfulness
Serve Me, saith the Lord, with joyfulness and gladness of heart for the abundance of all things and you will walk free from the curse of the law.
There is excitement among the angels. The angels get excited when they have the opportunity to work and stand strong for their Creator.
But they can only do what you and I will release our faith for.
Stay on the faith side. Stay on the God side. Stay on the love side of everything. And rejoice because all of Heaven is in a stir. All the angels rejoice at the salvation of one person. We have been keeping them up 24 hours a day. There are more people getting saved every day than they had in whole centuries in times past.
So rejoice again, again I say rejoice, for God is still on the throne and prayer still changes things. [end excerpt]
Prayed…
Nothing is impossible in Him… prayer, our connection to heaven, brings about change
Thank You for it, Lord
We stand on Your Word and know You are fixing things
Things are being rearranged, turned around
Some things are upside down from where they were
We believe through the blood that today in 2017 that Your blood is working and bringing about change
Change in us, internal and external
We’re healed and prosperous

Word came forth through Pastor Ray…
I keep hearing this in my spirit concerning change. That many think because we’re so far into this year, August, and September is on its way, we’re moving all the way through in a quick and accelerated way it seems, that most of the changes for this year have already come. That is not true, saith the Lord. All the way out through the end of this year, there will be more changes for me and for you! For us, the members of the body. So watch while you’re praying and while you’re declaring and confessing, watch Me move in the change that I said I would move you into and it will bring an advance and a change in your finances too. It’s in every area of My body, every position, every level, and every part. For it is My will and it is My purpose and I’ve set it up for this time and hour to bring forth a supernatural rearranging that I’ve planned for My people for this year. Then on out into next year. It is a continual acceleration and a continual expansion of My changes, to bring about My purpose and plan and will for My Church, My body.
Mary continued to lead in worship…
Pastor Ray shared…
I see that we just give in and give up and surrender to the fullness of His plan for us individually and corporately. Surrender it all. Lay our plans on the alter and receive His fullness, our destinies, the visions He’s put within each of us and see how that works together with all of the members of the body.
Prayed…
We pray over the body of Christ… every stream of ministry… all the body of Christ over the earth
We apply the blood of Jesus over pastors and ministers and leaders in the body
Father, for divine visitation
Thank You that You’re helping the body… You’re always fixing things
We yield ourselves to what You want and Your will and plan
We receive impartation, directions, a leading from You today
By faith, we receive direction this morning
Mary led the group in singing in the Spirit…
Word came forth through Erika…
My body, My body, My body, even as it was imperative that I go and I send another comforter, it is imperative that My body be whole. Nothing missing, nothing broken. Each part, the least to the greatest, operating by My heart, functioning in My capacity and My great plan. My design throughout the land, My body, My body, My body with intense desire, I desire to see My glory displayed throughout these days, through My hands and feet, through My mercy and grace and love, touching a nation and a world with glory from above.
Prayer for President Trump…
Father, in the name of Jesus and according to your Word, we pray for those in authority in our nation. We lift up President Donald Trump, his family, his staff, and cabinet members. Let Your Word cling to them, and let them not depart from Your plan. Strengthen them with mighty power by Your Spirit to stand against wickedness, lies, and deception. Guide President Trump’s decisions; let Your light shine upon his path and show him the path of reversal for every evil way. Continually surround him with godly men and women who impart wise counsel to him. Cause the way of the wicked to be set to confusion and come to nothing. Deliver us from the traps and snares the enemy has laid for us, and let the wicked be caught in their own devises and be brought to shame. We take authority over the plots and plans of the enemy against this nation. Let prideful and lying lips be silenced in Jesus’ name. Slanderers will not be established in America. We pray for our congress, our supreme court, our military leaders, and our intelligence agencies. Let the wisdom that is from above reign in this nation and be constantly speaking to our leaders. We exercise the authority You have given us to tread down all the power of the enemy. We cast down and demolish imaginations and arguments that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God, and we bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. We bind spirits of strife and division, civil wars and tumults, spirits of hostility, lawlessness and blasphemy, and fires from hell that have burned in our cities.
We speak grace and peace over America. We pray and believe for the voice of truth, salvation, revival, and restoration to be proclaimed and heard across our land. Grant unto your servants everywhere that with all boldness we may speak your Word. We pray for a mighty outpouring of your Spirit with signs, wonders, and miracles. We expect the wisdom of this world that is earthly, sensual, and devilish to depart and vanish until Your mighty work in America becomes a beacon of hope for all people everywhere. We expect the voice of rejoicing to be heard in our nation for your goodness, mercy, and prosperity in Jesus’ name, Amen.
