- “Morning Chapel Prayer Playlist”
Cindy led opening prayer…
Thank you, Father. We give you all the glory and the praise and the honor, for you alone are worthy. You are our everything. You are our all in all. We thank you, Father, for your presence. We thank you, Lord, that every day we’re coming into a greater and more awesome image of you on this earth. We thank you, Lord, that we get to have this wonderful, exciting life of faith, where we can trust you, where we can be built up in your good Word and know and understand you more and more every day.
DJ sang “God Bless America” and then shared…
As I walked in today, I heard my heart sing “God bless America.” You know, when I came to this country, I flew from Paris to Los Angeles LAX airport. It was a hot day. I have no idea where I’m landing or where I’m going. But everybody knows the United States of America. If somebody in India is asked, “Where do you want to go?” They say, “I want to go United States of America.” I never heard anybody say, “I want to go somewhere else.”
So when I landed, I felt that I am changed. I didn’t know much about anything about God’s ways of living or Christ or anything. But I felt that I am somewhere else … from Europe to America. There is something different in the air here. I didn’t know what it was, but later I found out. The Holy Spirit is in this country. The Spirit of the Lord.
Thank you, Jesus. ♪ Holy Spirit, you are welcome in this place. ♪
Cindy continued to lead group in worship and prayer…
We want to walk on that highway with you, Lord. Forsaking all other ways… where everything is right. Thank you, Lord.
Every step is brighter. And it will go on forever, always learning and coming to the knowledge of you… not falling short of your grace. For it is all about your grace … for all the good that you have done. We will glorify the Son. Today is the day you have made and we will rejoice and be glad …
Just like DJ said yesterday with the roll call … “Present, Lord!” I will show for you to do what you desire to do … we pray like Pastor Ken said that prayer is helping God get His way… because it’s a glorious way. For I know the thoughts that I have for you. That’s to give you hope and a bright future in Me.
Come away with Me. I’ll restore your life. Where true life is in Christ … the true and the genuine the authentic life … so taste and see … as you move with Me… the glorious life unfolds… like pedals in the sun. You are a flower that I’ve planted for a purpose. Every moment is full of purpose. Keep your eyes on Me and what I’ve put in you will unfold for the world to see. And it will light up the senses… and alure many from distress … for a hope … I’ve placed in you … daily your delight … in your creation… for that’s the hope of glory and I’ve placed it in you. My very Spirit that I might come through … in ever increasing degrees never to cease, never to grow older, but always to increase what I’ve placed in you … thank you, Lord, for the stream and wonderful privilege of learning of you …
Barb shared how Christ is the Door…
I heard you say, “Christ is the door.” He’s the door that opens us up into the supernatural realm, and He put His Holy Spirit in us so we could encounter that realm. And it’s time for us to begin to operate in that realm from that place. But Jesus is the door. So as soon as we begin to acknowledge Him, we begin to acknowledge Jesus. That supernatural realm begins to open up. Not that it’s not open. So we begin to experience it. We begin to experience that realm. And I believe that now in this time, even in this season that we will be having increased encounters, supernatural encounters. Because that’s what He created us for… the supernatural, not to be tethered to the earth, but to be free to move in places in the spirit. So there will be an increase… Can we pray in tongues about that a little bit?
Group begins to pray in the spirit…
Barb led in prayer…
By the Spirit of God… yes, a moving, a moving of your body, Father, into the places you have called her to … for such a time as this. For such a time as this … Coming out of the ways of the natural, out of the ways of the world, even out of the darkness and stepping over into the realm of light… there is a realm of light. There is a realm of seeing … there is a realm of being who you are in Christ. He is the door. He is the way to that realm of grace …
Prayer for encounters He has prepared for us…
So we lift that up now, Father, those encounters that you have prepared for us… those places that you have prepared for us in you. We lift that up now in Jesus’ name and we call them forth in the name of Jesus.
Prayer for angelic encounters…
Increased angelic encounters, Father … increased angelic operations… clearly hearing the voice of the Spirit, Father, moving and being moved by your Spirit in Jesus’ name… for we have not been called to the low, but we have been called to the high… the high place in Him, where He has seated us far above all principalities and powers that we would rule and reign in Christ …
Breakthroughs… increase… superabundant outflow of finances…
the door that we would rule and reign in Him… He is the key. He is the key. He is the key. He is the access… by His blood and in His name and by His grace, we enter in… We step out of the shallows and we step into the deep today in Jesus’ name… coming up, coming up, coming up, coming up … out of that place… coming up now … the body coming up now… coming up now… yes, Lord, loosen those tent stakes. Loosen those tent stakes. That place of containment. Loosen it up, loosen it now. Set them free. Set your body free in Jesus’ name … it’s time for the breakthroughs. It’s time for the breakthroughs. It’s time for increase … it’s time for the superabundant outflow of the Holy Spirit … it’s time for a superabundant flow of finances in the body. It’s time for things to turn around. It’s time for a change… we call it forth in Jesus’ name. Those things that be not, we call them as though they are in Jesus’ name … right now by the power of the Holy Spirit …
The shout is coming!
For the shout is coming. The shout is coming. Get ready to shout. Get ready to shout. Get ready to shout. Ha ha ha. For the glory is being poured out. The glory’s being poured out… the glory’s being poured out. Poured out. Hallelujah… doors are open. The doors are open… The way is clear … The hindrances are removed. The blockages are removed…
Prayer for enemy defeated
The enemy is put in his place in Jesus’ name … by the blood of Jesus, the enemy is defeated. He’s under our feet. He’s under our feet… we’re walking on his head… and we’re keeping him in that place… for we have dominion in all things… glory, glory, glory.
Prayer for, It’s time to shine… transformed
Shine… It’s time to shine. It’s time to shine with the glorious light of God. It’s time to shine forth, body. It’s time to shine forth, Church! It’s time for you to shine in the earth. It’s time for you to affect a change in everything around you. It’s time to let that glory shine. Arise and shine for the light has come and the glory of the Lord shall be seen upon you. Every single one, every single member, the glory of the Lord shall be seen upon you. The glory of the Lord… Yes! Even translated and transformed before their eyes. The light of God, the light of God, the light of God… just as Jesus transformed before the disciples… His body was illuminated … glory to God. So you shall be seen in the earth … glory to God. His light will shine forth from you and destroy the darkness…
Prayer for ministering angels!
Angels, angels, angels… ministering spirits. Go! Go out. Do the work … fulfill the Word… assist the people … assist the believers… move, move, move… you come and undergird … You come and deliver … You come and minister to those that are the heirs of salvation now in Jesus’ name … He’ll bear them up. Bear them up less they dash their foot… no injury would come to them… no damage, no effect of the world… you protect day and night. Night and day from all demonic attacks in Jesus’ name…
Prayer for Jesus is the door
For you are greater. You are higher. You are stronger … glory to God… infinite… all powerful.. there is nothing that can stand against you, glory to God … so there is nothing that can stand against us in Jesus’ name. Thank you, Jesus. You are the door. Oh, thank you, Jesus. We’re grateful. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. You are the door, hallelujah. By your blood we enter in. Thank you, Jesus.
Barb shared angel testimony…
I heard a minister say this once. He said, “People say, how do I open the door? How do I open the realm of the spirit?” He said, all you have to do is just say “thank you, Jesus.” He’s the door. Right there. As soon as you acknowledge Him, there you are in that place.
And this morning, I was thinking about angels and the Holy Spirit said, “If you don’t give testimony to what’s happened, then it’s not going to increase in your life.” He was reminding me of something Pastor Folu said, talking about angels. And if you’ll notice in here, a lot of times when we’re praying, we’ll say “angels, angels, angels.” And what is that? We’re acknowledging the presence of angels, saying, “The angels are here, angels are here.”
So he just said, “Remember the times that you’ve had experiences in God. You need to share them with people.” And, so I said, okay. I know of one experience, for sure.
But back in June here in the chapel, there was an angel that came into the chapel. And I couldn’t talk about it. It was hard to talk about. My husband would say, “Tell so-and-so about your angel encounter.” And it was just really hard to talk about. It was very overwhelming because the same presence that came upon me when the angel was here would come on me again, making it hard to talk. So I didn’t talk about it for a long time. But he would always put me on the spot and I’d be like, “Okay, give me a minute. Just talk about something else. I’ll see if I can…”
But what happened was that I was here in the chapel. You have to understand how God works with people. He knows we’re human. And He’s like, “Knock, knock, puddin’ head. I’ll get it to you.”
I was sitting in the front pew and I was just restless. The pews were creaking and making noise. I’m distracted. I’m like, “I can’t focus.” And so I went and stood off in another area where nobody was. I’m standing there and all of a sudden on my chest, I feel this tapping. Tap, tap, tap. And this is what I said in my mind, “I think that’s an angel!” But I didn’t acknowledge the angel. I just thought, “I think that’s an angel.” And then I kind of stood there for a minute. We were worshiping, and I went back to sit in the front row. And I thought about it and then forgot about it.
Anyway, I came to prayer the next day. And the place was packed because it was Pastor Ray’s last day. And I came and sat… not thinking about it at all. But I went and sat in the pew, right where this happened, where I experienced the tapping. And I didn’t even realize it. I just sat there because the place was full and I was late. And afterwards, someone came to talk to me and we everybody was leaving and I’m standing there. And all of a sudden I said to her, “I felt an angel go tap, tap, tap, tap, tap on my chest.” And immediately, the power of God just came on both of us and we were shaking. We were shaking and just tears rolling. The power of God was so intense.
But you see the difference between the day before and the day after … the first day was like, “Hmm, I think that’s an angel.” The second day, I said, “An angel did this to me. An angel was tapping on my chest,” and the power of God just came. I did not see the angel, but I could sense the presence of the angel. It was very, very huge. But the power of God that came just from the angel was incredible.
My friend actually saw the angel. She said, “I think the angel is here for this.” I said, “That’s exactly what I think.” Now I didn’t see the angel, but I knew by the Spirit why the angel was there. She saw the angel and said, “I think it’s this.” But we both said, “Yeah, this is why he’s here.” So we did what the angel said we were to do.
But anyway, as this process is going on, we experience the presence a second time, just standing there and acknowledging the greatness of God. And wow that He would send an angel to minister to this person that it was sent for. And the power just came again, just dropped. And I just fell on the ground. It was so intense.
But Pastor Folu said, “You need to tell people, this is real.” This is just me, Barb, sitting in the front row in the pew, right here in the front of the chapel. It’s for all of us to have experiences like that. God wants you to have encounters. The angels are sent to minister to the heirs of salvation. They’re here for you, for your assistance. And so we need to acknowledge their presence, acknowledge that God is using them, that He’s assigned them to us to do a job. Thank you, Lord, for sending your ministering spirits to protect me today, to keep me in all my ways …
DG shared…
The Lord said He shall command His angels concerning you, concerning me to guide us in the way we should go so we don’t dash our foot against the stone. So we’ll not fall. And how great is our God. He gives His angels charge over you and me to guide us and to lead us in the way we should go.
Barb continued…
I think it’s so important because the Word of faith people, they think some of this stuff is kind of spooky. No! It’s not the spooky ghost. It’s the Holy Ghost. And He does things that are going to blow your mind. So you need to get ready for that. You know, we think, “I don’t know about that.” Well, you know what, it’s the Holy Spirit. And He will confirm in His Word, that truth to you.
I also had another encounter here in the chapel. Someone gave me the mic and said, “Here you pray.” And I got up and I started to pray in tongues and all of a sudden, I felt a presence, which I believe was an angel. As I’m praying, the angel pushed me. I literally felt like I was being pushed like a hand in my back, across the front of the chapel and around the side. And I’m being pushed straight for Pastor Folu. So I’m being pushed, like this. I mean, if you’re walking, you would just walk into this. I’m being pushed like someone is shoving me across the room. I’m standing in front of Pastor Folu and the word of the Lord comes for Pastor Folu.
But it was like… okay, I’m going to get up and yield myself to the Holy Spirit. And that’s all I did… opening the door as Jesus is the door. His Spirit is the door. So, I just said, Okay. Sure, I’ll pray. And I start to yield myself and the angel says, “Okay, you’re going over here.” And I’m like, “Okay, he’s a helper.” That’s right. They’re helpers. They’re here to assist. But it’s just amazing things.
And then last week, I was praying and I had my eyes closed and I saw this big bird. It was like a big eagle, just huge wingspan, just come right into me. And I went, “What is that?” My husband and I were praying together and afterward he said, “You know what? The funniest thing happened to me.” And I said, “What’s that?” He said, “I was sitting in my truck in the driveway talking to someone on the phone and all of a sudden, I saw this big bird with a huge wingspan. And it went right over the vehicle. And I looked out and there was no bird. There was no bird out there.” And I went, “That’s really interesting because this just happened to me. I just saw a big bird come right into me.” And I went, “Okay, Lord, what is that?”
And then two days later, I was in another prayer group. And this woman said, “Barbara, I believe that God sent an eagle to you.” And I went, “That’s very interesting because just a couple of days ago, I saw this big bird.” And the Lord said, “It looked like an eagle, but it was an angel. It was an angel that came.” And I thought, wow, that’s incredible.
But He wants to do so much, and we need to take the limitations off. Just open yourself up to the Holy Spirit and say, “Jesus, I welcome you today. I welcome you in. Do what you want to do however you want to do it whether it be through an angel or through a person.” I mean, it could be an angel that looks like a person. And you may not even know. But let Him do however He wants to do in you. Praise the Lord.
DJ continued…
While Barb was talking about angels, it happened to me one morning around noon. I was early at the restaurant a few months ago. I opened the door. I was alone in the kitchen. Suddenly, I see somebody walk in. We don’t open until 1 p.m. And I saw a tall guy standing there with a hat. Barb was talking about how angels guide us, lead us the way we should go. And I started saying, “Oh, I didn’t even see you. Can I help you?” He said, “yeah.” I said, “We don’t open until one.” But then I noticed that guy was unusually tall. And it was warm. I said, “Why don’t you have a seat outside? And we’ll make something for you.” He said, “I want this.” I said, okay. Then I asked him, “Do you want some something to drink? Would you like Coke?” He said, “Yes, thank you.” Then I said, “Would you like some hot sauce? Is it hot enough?” He said, “Yes. Thank you.” That’s it? “Yes. Thank you.” So he sat there eating. And I go back to the kitchen. I heard the Holy Spirit say, “Don’t charge this man. I sent him.” And I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit come upon me. I started shedding tears. I’ve not crying, but the tears coming. I looked through the window again, he was sitting outside eating. Then I go out and say it again. I asked him, “Would you like another Coke?” He said, “Yes, thank you.” That’s it. He ate. Every time I ask him something, he always said, “Yes, thank you.”
Before he left, he said, “Can I have my check?” I said, “No, it’s already taken care of. Don’t worry. It’s on the house.” He said, “Oh thank you.” And I go inside for maybe a minute. I turned around and he was gone. I looked around, there was not even a one car. Then I looked on the table. A stack of cash. Angels!
