Morning Prayer Summary for Thursday, June 24, 2021

Pastor Folu…

Hello, everybody. Welcome to Living Word. Coming to you live from Brooklyn Park, Minnesota! Everyone that is here, thank you so much for coming. Everyone that is online, thank you for coming.

For those of you that don’t know me, my name is Folu Gisanri. I’m one of the pastors here. I can’t even believe it! I have been here for over 25 years. Wow! Can you believe that?

Pastor Ken Olson, our new pastor in charge of prayer, is out of town. So he asked me to step in for him today. So bless the Lord.

In a few minutes now, our dear sister will lead us in worship and praise. But here’s the theme of where we are going today. As some of you might’ve heard this word that the Lord gave brother Copeland back in December of last year. And the title of what the head of the Church said about this year is that this year 2021 is “the year of the local church.”

Think about that! The year of the local church. And so that’s been stirring in my heart. I look at this prophecy often. And so as our sister starts to sing and worship, please just be thinking about that. That this year is our year. Because who is the local church after all? It’s me. It’s you. It’s us, right? The year of the local church.

Father, we just thank you so much for today. This is the day that you have made and your Word says we will rejoice and be glad in. And we do rejoice, and we are glad because you have made this day and you have made it so that each and every one of us can enjoy today. Enjoy and enjoy. And we choose to enjoy the day that you have made and anything and everything that wants to come against it, right now we just come against that thing in the mighty name of Jesus. We choose as an act of our will to enjoy today. And we choose to enjoy this wonderful prayer meeting. And, Lord, thank you so much for everyone that is here right now. And everyone that is watching online.

Pastor Folu…

We serve the almighty, saints. I want to brag on Him for a little bit this morning, just to talk about some of the things that He has been doing. We just finished a wonderful Kids Summer Bash yesterday. And in three days, there was over a thousand kids here at church. And each day, there was over 800 in attendance on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I know a number of us that volunteered. Every single day when they had the altar call, over 200 kids responded. So we’re talking about over 600 salvations. Bless the name of the Lord. A lot of the folks that came through, they’ve never been to Living Word. I was looking at a lot of people and I’ve never seen them before. So many people have never been here before. So praise God for what He’s doing in the lives of our kids.

My wife and I head up healing school. And I want to talk about some of the things that the Lord has been doing at healing school lately, saints. There was a lady that came, and she’s in her late fifties. She came to healing school about five weeks ago. And before she came to that class, she had sent me a note. She said, “I’m really looking forward to the healing school tonight because of some of the things that I’ve been dealing with.” She said she had been dealing with anxiety for 12 years. But God, the Almighty touched her that night. The very next day, she send me a note telling me about what the Lord did in her the night prior. Now she’s a different lady.

Another lady came up to me. This precious sister was driving to church on a Saturday night, and she was having a conversation with the Lord saying, “Lord, I’ve been dealing with this anxiety situation all of my life.” She’s in her mid-fifties. And she said, “Lord, I cannot continue to live like this.” And so she came to church. One of the things I get to do here along with Pastor DuWayne is we have a meeting half hour before services with some of our volunteers. So I was the one designated to have this quick five-minute meeting that particular day. And I said, “If you’re dealing with this situation, anxiety, stress, or worry, please raise up your hand. We’re going to pray for you. And the people around you are going to lay hands.” Here’s what she said. “When I said that, she said “I didn’t want to raise up my hand.” Cause she’s been a Christian for some time. And part of lay leadership here. And she’s like, “I didn’t want people to see that I’m dealing with this stuff.” But then the Holy Spirit quickened her and said, “Daughter, you are the one just few minutes ago in your car talking to me about getting delivered from this anxiety. And now a few minutes later, you have an opportunity.” She said, “I quickly put up my hand.” So she said that after she raised up her hand and the people around her laid hands on her prayed for her and all that, she said nothing seemed to happen. “But the next day, I woke up like a brand new person.” She was sharing this testimony with me on a Thursday. So this incident happened Saturday prior. So that’s another testimony since about how the Lord delivered a precious sister that had been dealing with anxiety.

Two Fridays ago, a number of us, including my wife, were in Minneapolis. We developed a relationship with a church called City View Church as a result of what happened to George Floyd last year. As a result of that incident, we now go to City View Church every summer. We’d go there six times in the summer months… twice in June, twice in July and twice in August. So we had our very first outreach at City View Church two Fridays ago. It was interesting what the Lord did. We have a table that has a sign that says, “How can I pray for you?” And we give people free water. So me and two other ladies were walking around the neighborhood and connecting with people. So we came up to two gentlemen at the back of the house just reading a book. So we approached them. “Hey guys, we’re just out today. We out praying for people. And we just want to ask you guys, how can we pray for you?” Both of them had spiritual questions that they had for the Lord. It was like the Lord sent us supernaturally to go meet this young man. And when it was time to pray, I was blown away. I mean, these are young guys in their early twenties. When it was time to pray, both of them reverently bowed down, took off their caps. I’m like, “Wow, this is different.” I quickly took my cap off! The Lord touched these two young men. And when we started talking about Jesus, one of them quickly ran to his notes. Then he brought his notes to me. He said, “Look.” In his notes, he was talking about how he could understand the Spirit moving. And both of them got radically touched. One of them rededicated his life to the Lord. So this is an interesting. They’re just at their home having a conversation with the Lord and the Lord would send me and these two ladies at the right time to connect with them. Bless the Lord!

Jesus is doing a lot of things. And I’ll let my wife decide if she wants to come up and share.

Tamara…

I’ll share.

Folu…

Oh, okay. Bless the Lord.

Tamara…

One of the things that I saw that was cool… it wasn’t a drive-by salvation per se, but people saw the sign, they stopped, they parked, they came up to the table and said, “Can you pray for us?” And this happened a few times. And we prayed for a lady, and her grandson had been dealing with lots of different mental issues. Just so many different testimonies. And when you’re out there and available to just do what God has called you to do, you just never know who’s gonna come up. Amen.

Folu…

Some of you might know Miss Joy. She is part of the team. And she told me how she was surprised about how open people were. You know why they’re so open? Because of you and I. We’ve been praying all this time. Right? That the people out there will be open. She said she was so surprised that people were open to tell her their names. I’m talking about getting on the bus. Each and every one of us have to believe God to step to the next level to do some things we’ve never done before.

I remember the very first time I felt prompted to get on a buss and engage the people about Jesus. Can you imagine the very first time you do something? It was in Brooklyn Park. We were at the bus stop and there was a lot of people getting on the bus. And while they were on the bus, the bus driver was still there for a few minutes. I told the team, “Pray for me. I’m going to go get on that bus.” So I got on the bus, and I’m standing in front of the bus. I’m like, what do I do now? Everybody was looking at me. The bus driver is looking at me. I said, “Sir, I’m just going to quickly talk to the people about Jesus, okay?” And I walked in. I didn’t even wait for him to give me permission. I’m standing in front of everybody. I’m shaking. I said, “Hey guys, I would like to quickly pray with you guys to receive Jesus.” And they’re looking at me. I said, “If you’d like to receive Jesus, raise up your hand.” And four or five hands went up right in the bus. And I said a quick prayer. And I said, “Okay, bye.” And I got jumped out of the bus.

That started a bus ministry for me. And now we do it when we go to different states. Now, it’s almost like second nature. It’s like, we don’t even think about it. It’s like, “oh yeah, we’re going to get on a bus. We’re going to talk to the people in the bus about Jesus.” Thank you, Lord, for opening this avenue. So now when I get on the bus, I tell the bus driver, “Hey, I’m just going to talk to the people about Jesus. Thank you.” I then I just go in. They have to be the one that stops me. Before I used to ask them for permission. Now, I don’t know. Now I just say, “Hey, I’m just going to talk to the people about Jesus real quickly,” and then I proceed. It’s been amazing.

Man shared…

That’s just confirmation. When I was done Peru, I hopped on buses, prayed with whole loads of people. I’ve been praying for that for years… for people to hop on a bus. I can plainly see it because I’ve done it. God opens doors, praise the Lord.

Pastor Folu…

Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. So, saints, this is what I have on my heart today. Please listen to this and let it just bless you. This is the head of the church speaking right now.

2021, the year of the local church. 2021 will be a year of divine healing, divine health, divine prosperity, divine recovery. Saints, I like what comes next. Jesus is shouting recover. Just picture that. He’s not just saying recover. The head of the church is shouting…Recover! Recovery of the healing ministry, recovery of health, recovery of prosperity. And as you can see, it’s very, very brief. …

Let me share something personal that happened recently. So, my boss… I report to Pastor DuWayne; he is my immediate boss. And then the person that him and I report to is Pastor Trina. So about six weeks ago, Pastor Trina brought up this whole idea of having a tent revival meeting as part of a healing school. She said, “What do you think? You guys are having a lot of traction at healing school. How about having a tent revival?”

I’m like, “Wow, that’s a great idea.” So one thing led to the other, and bless the Lord we are having a tent revival. And this just got finalized last week. And I just last night I put in the application with the city. We’re having a tent that is 4,000 square foot. So it’s a big tent. One of the things the Lord put on my heart is to give away a car that evening, you know, like a raffle. And He showed me like a woman that has kids that would be the supernaturally set it up that this family will be the one that will pick up that raffle ticket and win that vehicle.

So, as I said, He’s been talking to me about prosperity and all that. In the past, I might have been inclined to say, “Lord, you know, that’s a good idea to give a car, but now is not a good time for that. Let’s move on to something else.” But when this came up in my spirit, the Lord helped me to think differently. I thought how can I bring this to pass? How can He help me bring it to pass? And as I started thinking about it, I said, “Hey, I have a friend that has a dealership in town and is a member here. Him and I are pretty close. So what about if I approach him and ask him if all three of us, my wife and I and him can go in on a vehicle together. So that idea came to me. So I called him up. He said, “Let’s do that.” Both of us were going on it together. And I said, “On top of that, since you have a dealership and you have all these guys that work for you, can we throw in a year of free oil change for this lady? And on top of that, can we throw in the first 30 days, if anything happens to the car, she brings it back to your shop and you guys take care of it at no charge?” He said, “Sure.”

So all of a sudden, we have a car that we’re going to be raffling that night. I am just stoked about this tent revival. It’s going to be on the last Monday in July. And there is a potential “mystery guest” that all of you know and love. Anybody that is over 40 knows this lady and loves her. But she’s a mystery guest at this time because we’re not putting her name on the list. But one thing we know is that the Holy Ghost will show up. And we’re believing God to send at least 500 people for this event. Now, like I said, it’s going to be a huge tent up by that sign on 169. And please, you all pray-ers. Please start praying about it. We’re looking at possibly doing it more than just one day. It’s just scheduled for that July 26. I believe the last Monday in July. And it’s going to start at 6:30 and we’re going to have all the gifts. One of the things the Lord has put in my heart is that have other gifts. It just happens that the car is the first prize. There’s going to be maybe $750 gift cards and $500 gift cards, just to bless folks. Because one of the things the Lord has said about this house is that this house is a distribution center. So that’s something personal for me how the Lord helped me to think differently in terms of prosperity. And how now there’s a lady that has been believing God for maybe a new car or a better car. And she doesn’t even know all that is going on right now. She’s just going to come that day, get her raffle ticket. And when a vehicle that has been in the works for months… That reminds me of you and I about the things that we are believing God for, how it’s in the works, how it’s cooking right now. You know, we have one dream. When is it going to happen? How is it going to happen? But the Lord says, “I got this. You just go about your business, keep on enjoying life.”

Prayed…

(tongues) divine healing, Jesus. Shouting Recover!… those kids recover, recover, recover. I speak that over you from the top of your head to the sole of your feet … Recover. It’s the will of the Father. It’s the will of the head of the church that you recover. That you experience divine healing … So saints that are in the room, if any of you have any word, anything from the Lord, anytime you see me up here, this is a corporate endeavor. If you have anything, please just feel free to come up and take the mic and all that good stuff… Lord, thank you so much for the gift of tongues, to be able to pray in the Spirit and just let it rip… let’s go deep… just go deep, deep, deep, deep…

Thank you so much for praying from your heart. And now, saints, think about somebody else that you know, that needs a touch from heaven, that need the master’s touch… So anyone that you remember right now, just pray for them. We speak divine healing over each and every one of our friends, our loved ones, can I even say even our enemies. People that don’t like us for whatever reason, but you know that they are sick. Raise up their names saying… divine healing… To regain that which was lost… recover… He already foretold about this.

We come against the spirit of fear right now… come against fear and the spirit of fear, because there’s a big difference as you probably mostly know… so I come against the spirit of fear and fear right now in Jesus’ name. I call you free, I call you free in the name of Jesus. I come against that situation, that area that the enemy has been using to harass you… harass you all these days. And I come against that and I speak the liberty of God over you. Liberty, Liberty, Liberty. He’s not given us a spirit of fear, right? But a power love and of a sound mind. And I speak that over you. Wherever you are right now, be free in Jesus’ name… walk free in the mighty name of Jesus…

Barb …

Can we just go back to praying in tongues like we were a few minutes ago? The anointing was on that … (tongues) God is on the move… doors, doors, doors open… get out of the way… get out of the way in Jesus’ name… Satan, take your hands off that plan. You take your hands off that plan in Jesus’ name. Get out of the way… those things that have been stalled… those things that have been stalled in Jesus’ name, we release you in Jesus’ name… be freed in Jesus’ name… no more spinning the wheels… it’s time to move… yes, yes, yes, the Holy Ghost is moving you out… the Holy Ghost is lifting you out… divine intervention is coming your way. Supernatural increase… turnaround in Jesus’ name… it’s the anointing that destroys that yoke… it’s the anointing that removes that burden from you today in Jesus’ name… the supernatural becoming natural… the supernatural moving in you… like a mighty, mighty force… hallelujah… displacing sickness… displacing disease… displacing lack… displacing… oh that dissatisfaction… thank You for pouring out in Jesus’ name…

Woman shared…

I had an experience with the Lord last night. He said, “Tomorrow, I’m going to ask you to get up in front of prayer and read this.” But we had an angelic experience a week or two ago here with Pastor Ray. I won’t go into the details of it, but during that exchange that we had… Pastor Ray shared a moment when he had come into minister and he had seen a moment of an open heaven right here in the chapel. And, I said that’s where I saw this angel come and it was ministering to us at a very, very, very unusual and special way. And the Lord wants me to read from this book called “A Place Called Heaven.” It’s by Dr. Gary Ward. This is a minister that I knew personally. He and I each had had experiences with the spirit realm. I went to hell and came back, and he went to heaven and came back. He is a very respected minister and traveled with Billye Brim. Kenneth Copeland knew him as well. So this is from his book. This is about a spirit of prayer. And it goes along with the experience that Pastor Ray had. This is brother Gary when he had died and was up in heaven.

“While I was with Jesus, He showed me the earth. It was like I was looking at the pictures the astronauts send to us on earth from the satellite. Only the earth was encircled by three rings. Inside the first ring, the earth’s atmosphere, I saw hundreds of evil spirits. This is Satan’s domain. The evil spirits would target people and try to deceive them. If the people would accept the lies as truth, many more demons would swarm in like flies. They would then begin to fall to the temptations of the flesh by allowing the demons to control them. And their lives would begin to fall apart. The demons have power to make people tell lies, cheat, steal, commit adultery, speak evil against one another. And it was like the people became puppets on a string. Then Jesus showed me that when a child of God…”

And this is what was released in the atmosphere, Pastor Folu, when I saw you speaking in tongues and then sister Barbara brought us back to that place. God said, this is what’s happening in the spirit realm right now. So let’s believe this is what’s happening. This is what happened when you prayed in the spirit. And this is the atmosphere that is happening now. This is the power, the dynamite power that you have of praying in the Holy Spirit. The miracle in your mouth, that brother Hagin talked about.

“When a child of God got down on their knees before him praying in the name of Jesus with faith, their prayers would shoot into the heavens like arrows. And the Lord allowed me to see that it’s like flames of fire would just shoot right into this open heaven. In this atmosphere, an army of angelic forces would appear prepared for battle to destroy the demons’ effectiveness. The more prayers of faith there were, the more the demons would retreat. But if doubt and unbelief were spoken, the demons would begin to overcome. The Lord told me that as time grows closer to His return, demon activity will become more rampant. Satan knows that the final curtain is being drawn and that his time is running out. Millions of demons and their satanic powers have bound all around us. Why are we so besieged by demonic powers? It’s because we pray so little. The results are immorality, perversion, child abuse, poverty, abortion, wars, revolution, pornography, the occult, increase in crime, sickness such as aids to name a few.”

And when I saw you penetrating that realm in the spirit about healing, I saw these arrows as each saint here was praying, fire was released into the atmosphere and it was destroying and dismantling the disease. Put on the whole armor of God that you may withstand the wiles of the devil for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities powers, rulers of darkness of this age against spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places. Put on your armor, take a stand against the workings of the devil. You can arm yourself with the Word of God. If you do not read or study the Bible, you have no defense against the forces of darkness that are always at work to defeat you. With faith, tear down the strongholds of the devil, surrender your life to the Holy Spirit. I have come to believe that beyond a shadow of doubt, the greatest need of mankind is prayer. Our only hope to destroy demon forces in the world is through the spirit of prayer.”

Pastor Folu…

Amen. Bless the Lord. Hallelujah. Thank you so much for coming today to pray. I appreciate your giving your supply and you’re getting healed. And we’re walking in that new newness of life. And those of you online, thank you very much. We’ll see you next time tomorrow.
