Pastor Ray…
Miss Jerre is going to minister in song this morning [Jerre and her husband, Steve, are up from Florida visiting family].
In a little bit, we’re going to show you a little video about Landen and his progress.
Jerre led group in worship…
Father, we put our trust in You today… we lift our hearts to You… we put our minds on You… we rest and we trust in You and You alone… You are always with us… oh hallelujah… there is none like You… You’re so beautiful for every situation… You’re so powerful on our behalf… we lift up holy hands in this place and we give you all the praise…
I’m going to sing this song that I was singing this morning.
♪ You’re altogether lovely… altogether lovely… to me… so flow through me… all that You are, my king… flow through me… so the world could see… how altogether lovely You are to me… thank You, Jesus… You love and move and have Your being in us… and we declare to a lost and dying world that You are altogether lovely ♪
Pastor Ray…
Thank You, Lord.
This morning, I had a reminder. I heard something in my spirit and it’s as if I heard it in the natural. It’s a reminder of something the Lord said months ago: “The numbers are adding up.”
It just came up within me: “The numbers are adding up.” Whoa! Remember when Kristin Hammond testified that they had heard that declaration. Someone sent it to her when she was in the doctor’s office looking for the numbers to “add up.” And guess what! They added up.
It was just a reminder to me: the numbers are adding up.
If you have any doubt, get it out. We’ve talked about it so much. Take those things off the shelf that you had put on the shelf and believe God for it.
I want to read a couple scriptures and then I was to show you something. That’s why we have the screen down. The Word of God gives us confidence and we know that it brings power in and through the prayers that we pray, heartfelt prayers.
John 15:7, 8: “If you live in Me [abide vitally united to Me] and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.” Completed. If the numbers aren’t where they should be, they will be where they should be. We take that message about the numbers for Living Word, for this church. The numbers are adding up. Up, up, up! Things are moving up.
Verse 8 “When you bear (produce) much fruit, My Father is honored and glorified, and you show and prove yourselves to be true followers of Mine.” How do we do that? We have fruit. And I’m talking about prayer fruit.
If we have the Word, it helps us to know what to speak. We’ll know what to say. John 15:26, “But when the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby) comes, Whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth Who comes (proceeds) from the Father, He [Himself] will testify regarding Me. 27 But you also will testify and be My witnesses, because you have been with Me from the beginning.” He’s good. He’s never changed. His Word is working for us today. It’ll keep working for us in the future.
Somebody texted something to me that I want to read. “The price you will pay to make your dreams come true is much smaller than the price you will pay if you don’t.” If we give up and quit, that’s a major price that we will pay. So, that’s a smaller price. Which is true. Based on the written Word. The word that has been sown in our hearts.
Pastor Lynne sent me a short video. It’s Landen. There was something on the news this morning. The family let the media know that he’s out of intensive care, and he’s now in therapy. That means things are moving. His body is moving. It’s super short.
(Clip of Landen riding a therapy bike down the hospital halls.)
You can’t hear the audio, but the nurse was telling Landen, “You’re going too fast!” He said, “Oh sorry!” Look at that! He is being restored.
His grandfather, Steve Hall, said they have set a date in August where they are believing he will walk. You saw how his legs were going. It seems like he could walk right now. But they set a date and time. Steve said he doesn’t know how they’re going to hold him down until he will walk because all he wants to do is GO! The only place he can go is down the hallway of the hospital or around his room. He can eat anything he wants. The Word has worked for this boy. It’s one miracle after another after another after another. However many surgeries there were. His leg didn’t heal the way it should have so they had to re-break it. He is healed inside and out. He will fulfill the plan that God has for him. Amen! Doesn’t that bless you? Up until now, we’ve seen nothing in the natural. I love to see him looking the picture of health.
Jerre shared…
I was praying for Landen from Florida. The prayers that we’ve prayed, we have no idea. We think in our own natural thinking that we’re praying for his physical healing only. But I know it goes way down the line for his life and the call of God on his life. And he has had so many people praying for him. We will be astounded at the prayer fruit that we weren’t even expecting. When we pray in tongues, we’re praying the mysteries of God way down the line. It’s a beautiful thing to see.
Pastor Ray…
It reminds me of the when Sharon S. said the words that you sing, they don’t just go “la, di, da…” boom. They still are happening in the atmosphere. Same with our prayers.
Jerre…
I saw that one time when I was in children’s church. It was like my song, my words, my praises were going out into the atmosphere. Remember that old alphabet cereal? My words became tangible, like alphabet cereal. They were going out into the heavenlies. He’s ministered to me about eternal praise. But it never stopped. It was like bouncing off of the planets and the praise creating atmosphere in the heavenlies. But the power of God in that was that those words that we speak and the songs we sing of eternal praise don’t go away. They’re out there creating. So when you go into the presence of the Lord, remember that this is not just a little thing. Worship creates. It creates eternal praises that are sent out and do things and help dispel the darkness. So hook in with Him with all of your hearts. Get your “alphabets” out there. Ha, ha, ha.

Father, we come and sow to Your Spirit… we sow, Father… we know when we sow to Your Spirit, we reap of Your Spirit… we see You clearer and clearer… revelation comes… Father, we say You’re so wonderful… so beautiful… so powerful… and we say that You’re gentle and merciful… Father, the deep in us calls out for the deep in You… changed… in Your presence… never a moment wasted… impartations as we sow… we stir up the gift on the inside… stronger and stronger… You create in us… strengthen… changed from one degree of glory to another as we sow… causing us to arise and stand up straight… contending… yes, creating, creating… stirring … stir, stir… ha, ha, ha… even that, Lord, yes… ha, ha, ha… up and up and up… holding and holding to the promises… all of them… just all of them… ha, ha, ha… not one left out… ha, ha, ha…
Pastor Ray…
I heard this: Let’s trade in our… any kind of delay and change it to expectation to come forth. NOW! Trade it in. You trade in an old car for the new. We trade in every kind of delay and declare “now is the time.” These are the days. We’re finished with delays. This is the time. Expectation…

Just like Jerre was saying earlier, that when you speak something, it’s not just maybe what you’re thinking, what it’s going to. I came here this morning and my back was hurting. When Jerre said, “Stand up straight,” I stood up and all the pain left my back. She wasn’t necessarily saying that to me, but the Holy Ghost multiplied it. So you can respond to the Holy Ghost… if there’s even something that comes close to what you need and a word comes forth and it’s even close, you take it for yourself.
It’s the power… so great upon the Word… there is so much power… in every word we speak and every word we sing… it’s like an explosion… there’s nothing that you can’t change… there’s nothing that can’t be rearranged by the Holy Ghost, by His power and strength… we lead to the helper… bringing things into order… a release today in the name of Jesus… into the plan of God… a release of healing, of peace in the name of Jesus…
Some of you have been believing for a release of finances… so we speak that today… in Jesus’ name, we release those finances unto you… receive it now… yes… be loosed from debt… be loosed from the bondage of debt…
Jerre…
I just have the words “undergird the city” in me. Undergird the city. I’ve always been taught by Lynne just to lift those words up. We lift up those words to You, Father… undergird the city with our prayers… we undergird our city… this is our city… this is Your city… this isn’t the devil’s city… this is Your city… our city… so we undergird it… undergird it… those kingpins have to come down… those kingpins come down in the name of Jesus… the kingpins come down… this is Yours, Father… Jesus is Lord over Minneapolis… the undergirding… and all that it entails… every part…that You, Father, would have preeminence in all parts of our city… Father, You wipe the slates clean there… You raise up and pull down… You root out… I see it… our words, they go into the cities… we declare that it is to the glory of God… and Your light dispels that darkness… we speak light there… and there and there and there and every part… Father, You put the laborers there… with boldness… declaring of Your goodness and mercy and saving power… let it be a loud voice there in the cities… a loud voice to the glory of God… even in the media… a loud voice there… ha, ha, ha…
Pastor Ray…
Jerre, when you said that, I heard too, “Undergird the President.” I was reading in the Word this morning about Jesus healing everybody in the crowds. He would come home and there were people everywhere. There was this one guy that had a problem with his hand or arm. It was on the Sabbath. So he had all the doubters and naysayers, those standing around to see what He would do. For the man that needed healing on the Sabbath. But what He said was “Is it better on the Sabbath to do good or not to do good?” They wouldn’t answer. They were doubting and questioning. So He lifted up the man’s arm and it was healed. The Bible said He raised His voice at the religious spirits and lifted up the man’s hand healed and whole. On the Sabbath. They had nothing to say. They turned around and left. But after, they said “we got to do something to stop him.” I saw President Trump in that scripture. That he would continually stand strong. So we undergird him. We lift him and cover him with the blood and all those around him that are speaking right words into him. In other words, wisdom, direction, the Word of God into this President. And that in his heart, that he would stay strong. We undergird him and declare he is strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Every liar will turn around and leave. Every “impeacher” will be set down. Turn around and leave. For this nation is moving up and we’re not backing down. We undergird him with the blood today. No weapons formed against our leaders will prosper. No accidents. No evil work of the enemy… the blood protects…
