Morning Prayer Summary for Friday, April 23, 2021

Peg led group in worship…
Pastor Ray…

Hallelujah. Lots of good things on this earth. Lots of things that the Lord has given us. We’re blessed by all those and we love Him. He is our first love. He is our love. I thought of that this morning, just things that bless us naturally speaking. We’re blessed by these things, but we don’t necessarily just love those. I mean, we do, we love each other. You get it, but He is…

God, you are our first love and always will be all the way through. All the way through … every step… through all the plans … through all our days. We’ll keep lifting you up. Magnifying your precious holy name. Hallelujah. Thank you, Lord. We magnify you this morning. We take no cares. We have no anxiety. We just lift you up and magnify what your Word says about us. You always cause us to triumph in every area, every day. You’re so good. Hallelujah.

Ms. Peg, Go back and start the first song again. It took us this morning like 15 minutes before we came online. And so I wanted us to send that song out over the Internet this morning, please.

Every day is better. That’s our confession. That’s what we believe. And that is what we declare. Every day is getting better in Jesus’ name. Hallelujah. So, there’s a couple of things I wanted to do. I don’t know which day it was last week, I saw this picture. We were in here in the chapel and for some reason I was sitting over there. And I saw the picture beyond, you know, the trial outcome, all the different things here in Minneapolis / St. Paul. And I had saw screw gun on reverse, and it was removing all of the plywood, all of the businesses were beginning to open back up. Some were open while they had the plywood up. They definitely didn’t look like it. But yesterday when I got home, Sandy had turned on the local news and they showed downtown Minneapolis. [making screwdriver noise] And the plywood was coming off, and it was piling up on some kind of truck or whatever it was and moving on out. Hallelujah!

And that’s just the beginning! Then when I got here this morning, there was a worship service at spiritual life. That’s a church in Brooklyn Center here in Minnesota. And, Shawn, I can’t remember his last name, but he’s only done outside concerts and he’s done them all over. He’s been everywhere and he does worship services outside in the middle of whatever situation is going on. But this time he went inside. He said the reason he likes to stay outside is there’s more freedom. And he said sometimes inside a building, inside a church, it’s kinda… locked in sort of. But, he said that before he started the worship, he said that Minnesota… he called Minnesota “the revival state.” That’s a good title. Instead of everything boarded up, everything opened up. And if there’s any fire it’s the fire of the Holy Ghost.

Hallelujah! The wind, the rain, the fire. Hallelujah! The oil of the Holy Ghost. Move of the Holy Ghost. Breaking out and opening up … revival. We get the picture. Can we be in agreement?

Then while Ms. Peg was playing… I forget. I just heard some word and it took me to Psalm 23 about the table. There just happens to be a table available. I’ll be right back. So let me bring this over. This was here from yesterday. Oh, thank you. That’s fine. We’re doing good. So it’s a blank table right now. There’s nothing on it. Nothing’s on the table, but everything is on the table, so to speak. But anyway, we had it in here yesterday for a memorial service, beautiful anointed Holy Ghost service where the Lord was lifted up and magnified. And the presence of God and the anointing was resident in this room. Psalm 23. It’s only six verses so we can handle that. “The Lord is our shepherd. A shepherd watches over the sheep and he’ll feed us. He’ll shield us. And we shall not lack. He makes us lie down in fresh, tender green pastures. He leads besides the still and restful waters. He restores our life. He leads us in the paths of righteousness and right standing with him. Not because we’ve earned it, but for His name’s sake. Yes, though we walk through the deep sunless valley of the shadow of death, we will fear or dread no evil. For you are with us, your rod to protect us and your staff guides us. They bring comfort.

And we know the word makes it so clear that by the spirit, the Holy Spirit will lead us, guide us, and show us all the truth. And it will be good. Right? Then verse five, “You prepare a table before us in the presence of our enemies.” There are a lot of enemies around saying, no, no, no, no. But the Father God, by the power of the Holy Spirit and His written word says, yes, yes, yes, yes. The enemy says no, but God says yes. And we say, “yes, Lord.” He says, I’ll prepare a table before you in the presence of your negative enemies. So you anoint our head with oil and our brimming cup runs over. Surely goodness… Let’s declare what’s on this table. There’s goodness. The goodness of God. It’s prepared for us. It’s on the table. It’s for us. It’s for every man, every woman, every child that will lift their hearts up and say, “Jesus is Lord over my life.” That’s the way it is.

I felt like when you were singing in other tongues, you were singing out the things that were placed on the table here in verse five. A table was prepared before us in the presence of our enemies. We’re anointed with oil. Our cup is running over. And then how it says it in verse six. There’s only goodness on the table. His mercy is on the table. Unfailing love is on the table. And it will follow us all throughout our days on this earth. The house of the Lord and His presence shall be our dwelling place. There is no room on the table, but He’s prepared for us for any of the enemy’s ways. There’s no room for sickness. There is no room on this table for pain. There’s no room on the table for lack or hindrances or things that would try to hold us as His children back. There is no place for doubt, for fear. Name it… whatever the enemy has tried to bring about, there is no room on this table, which is prepared before our enemies on the table. We always overcome on the table. We always win. Hallelujah. There’s joy on the table. There’s no room for sadness. There’s a rejoicing on the table. Wholeness, health, prosperity of every kind, spirit, soul, and body. It’s all on table.

Oh yeah! Woo! Thank you, Lord.

Yesterday, like I said, this table was for when we have a memorial service to hold pictures and whatever of the person that left. And before the service, we always go meet the family. Maybe like if the service is at 12, we meet the family at quarter two and we go over to another room. So it’s just the family that’s in the room. And a couple of us pastors. Pastor Baltimore is over pastoral care and so he’ll explain the order of the service. And, who’s doing what, when. But we’re open to what He wants to do. And, so one of the first people was a lady Helen Thall. She sang the Lord’s prayer in a higher level than… It was so anointed. But while we were in the room, as he was introducing each thing that was going to take place, I just said it… As soon as he said her name, I said “And that will be anointed.” And then there was another lady. And as soon as he said her name, I said “And she will be anointed.” And then there was song. “And that will be anointed.” I just got on a roll with the anointing, and I know the family … they’re precious believers. But afterwards I thought, “Are they questioning… what is he talking about? Oh, they’re anointed.” It turned out all right. Everything was anointed.

So this morning, let me go down a couple of little things. Because I want to go down to John 16:13, 14, and 15. There are a lot of different things said about the anointing in the Word of God, but Jesus said the Spirit of the Lord is upon me. The hand of the Lord came upon me. The power of the Lord came upon me. The anointing of the Holy Spirit. And so every spirit filled leader or believer in God is anointed. We’ve all been given an anointing. All right? So many times people put no emphasis upon that part of ministry. At least not a lot. God’s anointing. And so there’s just not a lot of emphasis maybe sometimes put on it, but you know, by faith when we exercise the anointing… But when we’re here in this chapel and we sense that anointing coming up. And then we start speaking out things that we didn’t know when we speak out, because they’re not coming out of here. The mind is not controlling. It’s the heart. Lots of times the anointing can be just on a sound. It can even be on in a stillness. However He wants to, because the anointing changes everything. And so I had this … not to ever measure the hand of God upon us concerning our tomorrows on the basis of our past. So whatever took place in the past, no matter what, you know, we always do that. We draw a line right behind us, the past that’s over. Finished. It’s done. And we look ahead. And so we can’t just measure how God moved in the past and look forward to Him moving exactly in the same way in our future. Because the future holds new days, new plans. So I believe He always is wanting to give us a new dimension of His divine enabling… That’s the anointing. So we can be more effective and do what He wants us to do today, tomorrow, and the days after that. There’s a lot more I could say about that, but in John 16:13 it says, “When he the spirit of truth, the truth giving spirit comes, He will guide you into all truth.” Wow. The whole full truth. “For he will not just speak his own message.” He’s looking to the Father. He’ll tell whatever he hears from the Father. He’s listening. He hears, and He gives that to us. “He will give the message that has been given to him and he will announce, and he will declare to you the things that are to come that will happen in the future.”  “He will honor and glorify us because he will take of, or receive, or draw upon what’s mine and will reveal or declare or disclose and transmit it to us.”

So there’s a declaration. There’s a disclosure. And there’s a transmitting. This one of my favorite verses because when it’s Him and we’re under the anointing, He transmits things to us. But they’re the things that He hears from the Father. Holy Spirit of the living God. Whew! Verse 15. “Everything that the father has is mine.” This is what the Word says. “That’s what I meant when I said that he, the Spirit will take the things that are mine and will reveal, declare, disclose, and transmit those things to us.”

You want some transmissions, some transfers, some disclosures, some revelation? All right. It’s in Him.

Here’s a couple of things about those three words. Declare means to say something in a solemn or emphatic manner. Just a declaration. This is the way it will be. This is what the Word says, and this is how we’re going to walk it out. All right. Just declaring. And it’s also proclaiming, announcing, revealing, expressing, or broadcasting it everywhere.

Disclosure makes secret or new information known: reveal, divulge, tell, impart, and communicate.
And transmit means to cause something to pass from one place or person to another: a transfer, communication, or to convey it, impart it, carry it, or relay that information.

That’s what He does. That’s what the Lord is doing by His Spirit. Giving those things that are from the Holy Spirit, from the Father through the Holy Spirit unto us.

Father, we declare this nation as one nation under you. We declare this morning. We’re not hindered by the devil’s plans. We know we’ve looked at the table that you’ve prepared before us and every good thing is on there. And there are mysteries that have been saved just for now to be revealed unto each one of us individually and also corporately together for the body of Christ. And we declare the United States of America, we declare that Jesus is Lord over America. We say it again. Jesus is Lord over America. We declare it. We speak it. And we believe to see change. We believe to see paradigm shifts given by the power of the Holy Spirit as we declare, and as we give what you’ve disclosed to us in here in the written Word and by the power of your precious Holy Spirit.

So we declare it this morning from one side of our country to the other, from the north to the south, we plead the blood. We cover every state with the blood of the Lamb. We pray in Jesus’ name from the north to the south, from the east to the west… We declare what’s been declared over America, that Jesus is Lord. When that cross was stuck in the soil way back at the beginning, that cross still has an ascendancy. And what was done on the cross when Jesus said it is finished. We know that it’s a finished work and it’s working for us right now, today, in Jesus’ name.

Thank you, Father. So we declare it, and we speak it over every state in the United States. We go on around the borders with the precious holy blood of the Lamb, and we root out liars, fire burners, those that want this country to come down. Why should we come down? We’re not coming down! We’re rising up. We’re not going back. We’re moving ahead. We speak it forth this morning under the authority and the anointing of the Holy Ghost. And we prophesy it. We’re moving ahead. We’re not moving back. We’re not sitting down. We’re standing up and the church is continually rising up higher and beginning to call those things forth that still have not yet been seen.

They shall be seen. They’re out on the table. It’s been prepared for us. Thank you.

Pastor Ray…

What came up while you were singing that, the United States… I saw the flag up here and the flag of Israel is right next to it. We will never separate ourselves from Israel. We will never stop the connection that we have between our country and Israel. And Israel is Israel. Let’s just declare it like that. That land belongs to the Jews. Israel will not be divided. The Capitol will remain where it is. We will always, no matter what anyone says, we will always support the nation of Israel. That’s us, the United States. That’s them, the nation of Israel, connected together forever. We bless Israel this morning. We bless them. We bless their land, their leaders. We pray that covering over them. The blood of Jesus around their borders. Their borders shall not be broken up or taken down or removed. No, no, no. In the name of Jesus, hallelujah. We worship you.

Right here, at the end. Just say this after me: I am anointed. Are you? Why are you anointed? Because He said so. Because the Word says so. You are anointed. Sometimes, maybe we don’t feel so anointed, but we don’t go by that. We go by what He says about us. So when we’re in our hearts and we’re declaring things by the spirit, we are anointed and the anointing breaks yolks, breaks chains. It opens doors. It closes doors. The anointing … it’s all in there. So we thank you, Father, for what you’ve already done for us. Thank you for the work that’s been already done, completed, finished. And we know that you’ve given us the anointing and the power to carry it out here on this earth. So we purpose to keep on declaring over ourselves. I am anointed to do the works of God. Amen. Thank you so much for tuning in and coming here in person. Thank you very much. God. Bless your weekend. Amen.
