Prayed…
Thank You, Father, for Your Word, and the comforter Holy Spirit
Welcoming Your presence here this morning
For the clear access to You
We worship and honor You
Thank You for safety and security in You
The following excerpt was taken from The Psalms Poetry on Fire Passion Translation
SAFE AND SECURE
1 When you sit enthroned—under the shadow of Shaddai, you are hidden in the strength of God Most High.
2 He’s the hope that holds me, and the Stronghold to shelter me, the only God for me, and my great Confidence.
3 He will rescue you from every hidden trap of the enemy, and he will protect you from false accusation and any deadly curse
4 His massive arms are wrapped around you, protecting you. You can run under his covering of majesty and hide. His arms of faithfulness are a shield keeping you from harm.
1:1 Shaddai (sadday) is taken from a Hebrew root word with many expressive meanings. It can mean, “God of the Mountain, God the Destroyer of Enemies, God the Self-Sufficient One, God the Nurturer of Babies, God the Almighty.”
5 You will never worry about an attack of demonic forces at night nor have to fear a spirit of darkness coming against you
6 Don’t fear a thing! Whether by night or by day, demonic danger will not trouble you, nor will the powers of evil launched against you. For God will keep you safe and secure; they won’t lay a hand on you!”
7 Even in a time of disaster with thousands and thousands being killed, you will remain unscathed and unharmed!
8 You will be a spectator as the wicked perish in judgment, for they will be paid back for what they have done!
9-10 When we live our lives within the shadow of the God Most High, our secret Hiding Place, we will always be shielded from harm! How then could evil prevail against us, or disease infect us?
11 God sends angels with special orders to protect you wherever you go, defending you from all harm.
12 1f you walk into a trap, they’ll be there for you and keep you from stumbling!
13 You’ll even walk unharmed among the fiercest powers of darkness, trampling every one of them beneath your feet!
14 For here is what the Lord has spoken to me: “Because you have delighted in me as my great lover, I will greatly protect you. I will set you in a high place, safe and secure before my face.
91:6. Verses 5–6 are seen by many Jewish scholars as a reference not merely to pestilence and natural dangers, but to the realm of spiritual darkness that would come against God’s servants. These spirits are equated to “arrows that fly in daytime” or a “pestilence that walks” in the darkness. God’s sheltered ones are kept from the harm that could come from natural sources or supernatural sources. What a wonderful place to hide and be secure!
15 I will answer your cry for help every time you pray, and you will find and feel my presence even in your time of pressure and trouble. I will be your glorious Hero and give you a feast!
16 You will be satisfied with a full life and with all that I do for you. For you will enjoy the fullness of my salvation!”

Father, thank You for the power of Your blood and Word
Safety and security is found in Your Word
Access straight to heaven
We honor the cleansing power of the blood of Jesus this morning
Overcoming through the blood today
Your written Word is true to each of us
Thank You, Father, for security and rest—by faith we take our place
Far above everything on earth
Prosperous in spirit, soul, and body
Freed and delivered by the blood
Annie led in singing about the blood
Thank You, Father, that You are faithful
You are a good God—Your Word is true
Overcomers because of who You are
Thank You, Father, for sending Your Son—the finished work of the cross
We can sing and declare about the blood—we must use it
Thank You for all the steps and all the new steps You have prepared
In You there is always more—greater, further, and higher
It’s Your strength working in and through us
We don’t need to continually maintain and be the same
But You have put a desire in us to continually move ahead
New paths, steps to walk up and into
You are bringing us through by the blood
Those ways have been prepared!
By faith, we walk step by step by step
Knowing there is always more—strength and protection
You have given us keys—words that are keys
Walking out into the unknown—not unknown to You!
We cooperate with You today!
Words of authority and direction
Set in place with a mission to fulfill
Stretching out by faith
Speaking to some low places to come up and be smoothed out in Jesus’ name
Preparing for the ways ahead
Lining up and stepping into at the right time
Not missing a step
So the Church is on the increase, on the advance
Not in natural but spiritual realm
We are free! We’ve been made free! We are staying free!
Shaken off all that can be shaken
It is better—better hours, minutes, days, months, years—BETTER!
Speaking to those boundaries
Swing the door wide!
Let there be a restlessness in hearts
Not to stay put—a holy discontent in Church
It’s time—sounding the call and invitation to go on through
A new time and hour—there is so much more
Bright days—purposefully days and seasons
Gospel to be preached, psalms to be written and sung
Calling the Church up—wake up
The Master has need and you are summoned
By His grace, go through
Signs wonderful happening
We trust that it will come to pass
Trusting in the way we should go
You said, Father, You would lead us by Your Spirit into a truthful way
Let the weak say they are strong
Let the poor say they are rich
Let the sick say I a healed in Jesus’ name
Even now there are better ways to go saith the Lord—higher position to rise up into
Come unto me and draw near to that place and position you are called
Pastor Ray shared…
I heard Chicago. While we are lifting up the Church, I feel a prompting to speak over the city of Chicago and call forth revival.
Pleading the blood of Jesus over all the ministries in Chicago
Security along the waterway
Open eyes to see hidden things that need to be revealed
Where there is a blockage, we declare them to be open and free
They shall never be the same again!
Holy Spirit, saturate that city
Pastors and positions of authority state by state—declaring wisdom
Your Word will be spoken with great accuracy and authority
Things that need to be said will be said
Thank You, Father, for awaking the Church
Rejoicing in it in Jesus’ name, Amen
