Pastor Ray…
In case you didn’t know, we have been streaming Chapel Prayer for three weeks. We’ve started Morning Prayer years and years and years ago here at Living Word in our old building and then in this building here in the chapel.
This is not the only prayer group happening here at Living Word. We have lots of other prayer directors that normally meet with their groups here in the building. Most of them are one hour long. That is continuing even though they can’t be in the building, yet. But we believe in Jesus’ name things are opening up, things that were locked up are being unlocked in Jesus’ name.
Thank God for the connection to heaven that we can operate in through prayer. Prayer really, truly is connecting to Him, connecting to heaven.
This morning I want to read a very short prophecy. It’s about praying in the Spirit.
The following prophecy was given through Kenneth E. Hagin at Winter Bible Seminar on February 20, 1997:
Speaking by the Spirit,
not just speaking words out of your own mind or thinking,
but speaking by the Spirit;
Words that are inspired by the Spirit of God;
Words that well up from within you out of your spirit,
given to you by the Holy Spirit.
Those words, spoken boldly bring forth great happenings.Speaking by the Spirit,
and so the glory of God shall come into manifestation.
And some will see it like a cloud that hangs over the heads of the people.
Others may not see anything, but they sense the mighty move of His Spirit.Speaking by His Spirit, yielding your tongue unto the Holy Ghost.
But, you see, taking time to pray in the Spirit,
Taking time to pray in other tongues,
will get you tuned up; will edify you,
and get your tongue hooked up to your spirit,
so that then He who dwells in your spirit can give you utterance,
Then He takes over.And you speak out what He says, not what you think.
Speak out what He wants. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
And so the Spirit of Seeing and the Spirit of Knowing
into a greater manifestation shall come.
But all of these.
All nine of these manifestations,
all of them worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit.
And, at the same time, the inspirational gifts.
Men, women, speaking by the Spirit,
By prophecy, inspired utterance;
By tongues and interpretations;
shall bring forth marvelous statements
and bring to pass and bring into being
in this sense realm where men can see and know the operation of the Spirit
of God and the manifestation of the Spirit of God,
and the demonstration of the Spirit of God.
So rejoice ye and be ye glad.
Pastor Ray…
That’s for us in these days. Rejoice! If we haven’t been rejoicing enough, let’s rejoice!
If we just yield ourselves, if we just listen to our spirit man and pray out some things that we hear in our spirit, many times, like Brother Hagin declared, there’d be some seeing and there’d be some knowing. We’d maybe see some things in our spirit.
I believe the Holy Spirit operates differently within each one of us but then also He operates in the same way. He shows us things, or He reveals things to us, or He’ll sometimes give us just a word and we should just obey Him and speak that out. Many times, it doesn’t go along with what we are speaking at the time. Most of the time… not that we can’t pray what we know and pray out of our minds, agree with people, that kind of prayer but we have been filled with the Spirit and we must listen to the Holy Spirit and prayer those things, those words, those paragraphs, those declarations out into the realm here on this earth and then like that Word said it will bring about great “manifestations, great happenings” in these days. Hallelujah! We don’t have to wait until way down the road somewhere. Today is the day!
So, in our hearts, while we spend this time together, let’s have that spirit of rejoicing in us knowing that He is working for us today. He’s working on our behalf. He’s doing things that we didn’t even…
Okay, thank You, Lord. I just heard this. He’s “construction things.” There is some construction going on. There is some building going on and the things that are happening by the Spirit, many times we don’t know about what they are until we begin to pray out in other tongues.
Hallelujah! For the Lord is good and His mercy endures forever!
Together, by the Spirit we believe to be directed in the Spirit this morning and pray out the things He wants us to pray out. We are making headway. There is something to do every day, take our place, taking our seat in heavenly places, calling out what we know is true based on what the Word has said to us, and keep on pressing ahead declaring the things that we don’t necessarily see with our eyes yet! But declare those things shall continually come to pass. Hallelujah.
Thank you for joining with us this morning. Let’s lift our voices and worship Him for a little while.
Ms. Annie led us sing We Cry Holy, Holy, Holy God
Pastor Ray…
Let’s say it together “I am changed! I am changing! My finances are changing. My family is changing. The Church is changing. The future is changing. I am changing today by and through the presence of God. Things are changing around me. My circumstances are changing. My future is changing. Things are changing for the better not for the worse. I am changed.”
If we will just believe what we say based on the written Word or Word spoken by the Spirit, if we’d just believe what we say when we say, “I am changing in the presence of God and things are not about to stay the same or go back but things are about to change.” Even… Oh, thank You, Lord. Thank You, Father, for supernatural Holy Spirit changes in our lives. Thank You, Lord. Thank You.
The very atmosphere is changing based on what happens in His presence. Oh, we thank You for the presence, Holy Spirit.
Ms. Annie led us singing Welcome Holy Spirit
Pastor Ray…
When we ask for more, there is more. There is always more. Thank You for it, Lord. Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Father. Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Father.
I felt when we declared that, our finances are changing, I felt an anointing on that. The money, the finances that maybe were brought down because of the last few weeks are beginning to turn around and come up. And there will be a multiplication on those things that were lost. Really, we could say it, it’s true! The Devil tried to steal them from me and you. We can declare today a restoration time and a restoration day in the financial way. So, we loose our ministering spirits this morning and say “Go! Go! Bring the finances to us from the north, the south, the east, and the west!” Amen.
Not just for me, my family; you, your family but for the family of God all over the earth, the body of Christ – increase and momentum today in Jesus’ name. Hallelujah! Here come the finances! We receive the increase in Jesus’ name. We know it will come from one of those directions, but we don’t necessarily know how it will work but we know that it works and our ministering spirits are working on our behalf if we ask them to do it. And we’re asking today. Hallelujah.
I will just remind you. It was a week ago Monday, Pastor Lynne came in and taught some and then prayed a prayer. If you weren’t tuning in then, I want to tell you how to get it. The easiest way is to pull up the Living Word website and click “prayer” and you’ll see GPAN. It’s the summary of what we pray, declare, read, and what’s taught every morning.
I want to just pray part of it this morning. We have some different things we have gone over and over and over concerning our country, our president, our leaders. Really, we’re demanding. It’s a demand from the Word that we’d lift up and pray for those of authority. It’s in Timothy. It’s not just could you, maybe sometimes… But first of all, lift up positions of authority. Why? So, it will go well with us.
Pastor Lynne Hammond Prayer:
Father, right now, in the name of Jesus, we thank You for what You are doing in the earth… we thank You that this shaking is SHAKING things loose… breaking open those Ancient Wells releasing glory on the earth… we praise You for all that You are doing on our behalf and bringing Your angel army reinforcements from heaven… we thank You for Your governing angels who right now stand with us in a divine coalition, a merger of forces ready to push forth and break free the plans and purposes of the greatest outpouring of Your glory and power.
Father, we stand here in accordance with Your Word, praying for those in authority in America and the nations of the world… unwrap and reveal Your divine purpose in their lives, light their paths, give them discernment, wisdom and knowledge to make godly decisions for their nations. And from our seat of authority, we decree you forces of evil, powers and principalities, rulers of darkness, spiritual wickedness in high places, you must stop, cease and desist your activities! You will not hinder the work of the church and according to Matt 16:18-19 the gates of hell will not prevail against us, the Church… We have the keys of the kingdom in our possession, we are the apostolic praying church, the remnant triumphant reserve who will call those things that be not as though they are and will use our authority to bind and loose with all heaven backing our declarations!
That’s good news! We’re not just speaking out words that bounce off the ceiling. But the words that we speak based on the written Word, they move out, they do things, they will not just bounce off the soil and not do what the Word says it will do.
You’ve given Your angels charge over us as Your heirs, to keep us in all of our ways, to defend us and preserve us. You’ve instructed us to decree a thing, and it shall be established.
Just as Elisha instructed and helped King Joash to shoot an arrow of Your deliverance. Father, we declare and decree that Your assembled angel army to release arrows of deliverance at strangleholds of demonic forces, demonic holds on the institutions of our government and other governments around the world. This is the time and this is the hour. We take authority over these forces of evil and we DECREE that we, the church, are able to operate free and loosed from these demonic holds.
We’re free. These are victorious days because we say so! We say it! We declare it!
Angels, we decree… carry our words aligned with the Word of God to target the evil schemes of the Antichrist agendas that come against Your church. We loose arrows of deliverance to target the deception; the anti-Semitism and the Antichrist doctrine that has been taught to our children and declare those doctrines are crushed and broken by the arrows targeted by the angelic armies. We declare… proper aim, precise aim shot at the correct target, against the agenda of the Antichrist.
We decree the arrow of deliverance shot at the demonic, Antichrist forces and agenda trying to undermine our President, Congress and Supreme Court. Thank You, Father, for the arrow that struck against the coup d’état that tried to bring down our President. Continue to guard and protect our President,
Oh, thank You for it, Lord… that protective hedge around Him in Jesus’ name. We speak strength to our president this morning. We speak it over Him, strength from heaven, strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Hallelujah!
his administration, and cabinet. Give them supernatural intelligence, discernment, wisdom, and boldness to carry out the plans the arrows have enabled. Reveal to each one their anointed purpose to lead our nation in the biblical foundations of our historical past and in the true admonition of the Lord. We pray a cocoon, a hedge of protection around all of them; Psalm 91… cover them all with the blood of Jesus Christ, the Anointed One. In this day and this hour, we pray extra protection, courage, and strength for our Attorney General William Barr that he may breakthrough the evil barricades and root out all the hidden evil and secret plots of the enemy. We decree arrows to penetrate their deep bunkers of evil and bring those responsible before the courts of heaven.
We authorize and decree arrows to be loosed to strike the enemies of God and His church. Great deliverance from the claws and talons of the wicked one, striking blows against the Antichrist agendas against the church.
We decree and send an arrow to obliterate the unjust, corrupt media, but not the righteous media. The lies and deceit are targeted by the arrow, opened up and revealed for all to see. Expose their motives and intent and open the eyes of the people to see the evil untruths that the unjust media spews. We declare they are obliterated, bankrupt, taken down and their credibility destroyed.
Angels are on assignment and the arrows shot forth will destroy some things and leave devastation, others will break apart and expose for all to see the reality of the evil yet others will release the purposes of God and cut the cords that the enemy has used for bondage.
The battle lines are drawn, our decrees are shot by angels anointed to carry our words to destroy the works of the enemy and free God’s people to reveal who You are. Our unified armies are challenging the thrones of iniquity, idolatry, and rebellion. We ARE cleaning up the environment… cleaning it and freeing it for Your purpose for the world You created.
Father, we ask You in the name of Jesus, to help us to manage the time, Your time in this time of the shaking and greatest outpouring –help us to hear Your voice clearer, and be ready to obey as we co-labor with the angel armies on assignment.
Pastor Ray…
Thank You for it, Father. Fire from heaven, cleansing, renewing, restoring, working on our behalf. We pray over keys this morning. Keys that unlock doors of opportunity and other keys that lock up doors of the enemy where he had a way to come through. No. We lock that up and shut it down this morning in Jesus’ name. Hallelujah.
Like we said right at the beginning now. Just up out of our spirits, let’s begin to pray out and let those words come forth spoken by the Spirit through the Spirit. An alignment this morning, a supernatural alignment by the Spirit, lining things up in time, today. It is the time. We command and we declare those things that were out of line, get in line this time. Never, no never to go back again but only into the alignment from heaven. What we could say today is new.
We call up, we lift up the body of Christ, the Church this morning. We pray over the Church universal all over the earth – the body of Christ. Come up! Be lifted up in Jesus’ name. Get up, rise up, and take your place. Once again just calling those things that are not yet in the natural but speaking them forth and seeing them come one by one by one.
Right steps, timely steps, wisdom from heaven, every detail all along these ways.
Ms. Annie led us singing in other tongues…
♪ We being rooted and grounded in His love, oh, we’re able to understand and comprehend who we are in Him, strong in the power of His might, we send forth His blazing arrows of truth and put His enemies to flight… enemies of sickness, disease, and despair; enemies of poverty, lack, and discouragement; enemies of stifle, division, and untruth we put to flight by His truth, His Word is truth. ♪
Scripture focus…
Psalm 37:3-11
Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; do not fret-it only causes harm. For evildoers shall be cut off; but those who wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more; indeed, you will look carefully for his place, but it shall be no more. But the meek shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves
in the abundance of peace.
Psalm 145:8-9
The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and great in mercy. The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works.
Proverbs 8:17-21
I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently will find me. Riches and honor are with me, enduring riches and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, and my revenue than choice silver. I traverse the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of justice, that I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth, that I may fill their treasuries.
Proverbs 10:2-6
Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death. The Lord will not allow the righteous soul to famish, but He casts away the desire of the wicked. He who has a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes rich. He who gathers in summer is a wise son; he who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame. Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
Proverbs 11:25
The generous soul will be made rich, and he who waters will also be watered himself. If you extend your soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light shall dawn in the darkness, and your darkness shall be as the noonday. The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.
Jeremiah 17:7-8
Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; but its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit.
Malachi 3:10-12
“Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and try Me now in this,” says the Lord of hosts, “if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, so that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field, “Says the Lord of hosts; “and all nations will call you blessed, for you will be a delightful land,” says the Lord of hosts.
2 Corinthians 9:6-7
But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So, let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.
Galatians 6:6-10
Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches. Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
Philippians 4:19
And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Pastor Ray…
Thank You, Father. You are worthy Lord. Your Word is true. You’re faithful all the time. You’re faithful today. Your Word is working. Your working on our behalf today. This is the day You have created. We will continually rejoice and be glad in it. You’ve given us the strength to pursue. You’ve given us the strength to contend for Your ways on this earth. You’ve given us the power and the anointing to call those things forth to that have still not come to pass. So, we speak to those things today, things that maybe you’ve declared, that are part of your future, we speak to them again. We get ourselves in agreement and we agree this morning that there is a breakthrough or breakthrough in these areas and these things are coming to pass. We thank You for it. All the glory! All the honor! All the praise! We give it to You today.
Ms. Annie led us singing Holy, Holy, Holy God
Pastor Ray…
So, all the way through today let’s continually declare that we’re changed, we’re changing, the situations are changing. Things that needed to change are changing all the way through this day and not just for us individually but God’s power is for purpose and His purpose is for others to be lifted, for those that are in darkness to come to the light, more and more and more salvations in Jesus’ name. Hallelujah. Thank You, Father.
So, we’ll lift up Your name this morning, afternoon, into the evening; magnify that name that is above every other name. You get all of the thanksgiving, and the glory, and the honor for all of these things Lord. We thank You for it so much in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Thank you for joining up together with us this morning. I appreciate it. Hallelujah.
