Morning Prayer Summary for Friday, January 19, 2018

Pastor Ray shared…

First of all, we’re going to lift up our leaders and our country like we always do. Yesterday this word came to me, “You’re focusing on prayer for the country so much that you’re not lifting up your own ministry and pastors.” We do pray for them. That should be something we do personally, right? So today, we’ll pray a little bit for our country and then Barb will pray for Living Word and Pastor Mac and Lynne.

Today, I’m going to go through John 17. I’m using the Message. It’s a little shorter than my Amplified Bible. I love this chapter because Jesus is actually praying for us, right here, right now, in 2018.

John 17:1, “After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. 2 For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. 3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. 4 I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.

6 “I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. 7 Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. 8 For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. 9 I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. 11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.

13 “I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. 14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. 15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. 17 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. 19 For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.

20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

25 “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. 26 I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”

Prayed…

We take authority over strife and division the enemy tries to bring into the body of Christ
We are united and going in the same direction together
Thank You, Father, we are in agreement with the prayers Jesus prayed on our behalf that we would be one
Father, You’re making a way for the body to come together in one accord like never before
Arm in arm, locked together, speaking the same word
We’ve overcome by the blood of the Lamb because You overcame on the cross

One nation under God, indivisible… can’t divide it… the enemy cannot succeed to divide this nation

I thank You, Father, as it goes with the President, so it goes with our church that every member here would yield themselves over to the Holy Spirit… that they would have such an experience with Him that they would know they are following the way of truth… that they begin to experience you for themselves… walking in that manifested glory… witnessing Your grace and seeing Your hand working and moving in their lives… experiencing Your goodness… Your peace and joy… every single day… witnessing with their own eyes… tasting who You are and what You can do… no more of this walking in a form of godliness… it’s time for this body to experience the power of God… it’s time for us to move into a place You have called us to… it’s time for this body to come into that place You called them to… every member to walk in the fullness of Your anointing… every word that’s been spoken over this body, Father, it’s time for it to come to pass… Your words are full of power… they will not fail, Father… Your Word would be fulfilled… those words You’ve given to Pastor Mac, we thank You that he sees everything fulfilled… all You have given to him comes to pass… You are the one that supplies all that is necessary to accomplish that vision… it’s coming from the body… you’ve empowered this body to prosper… to increase… You are moving things into their hands… moving wealth into the body… moving things of value into the body… coming from within… quit looking to the outside and start looking within… stop looking outside for deliverance … for provision… it’s coming from within the body… from within this body… that vision will be fulfilled from within this body… the Lord is raising this body up… causing prosperity to flow in this body… every member will be a contributor… it’s not just a pipe dream… it is a vision from God and He will fulfill it… You begin to open the hearts and minds of Your people here… show them the doors that are open to them… show them how to yield themselves to that anointing of prosperity and provision and giving… it’s time to break loose of that 10 percent… time to get beyond the 10… it’s time to break that barrier that we don’t think about that anymore… it’s way above… we reach into our bag and we just throw it out… we sow and don’t even count it… there is a place and anointing of freedom in finances for this body… no more penny pinching… it’s time to start thinking like a wealthy man… it’s time to take hold of Your inheritance… begin to embrace it… this is who you are… you are a king… you are a priest… wealth is in the king’s hand… wealth is in the priest’s hand… supernatural provision… so much moving through this body… it will be like the days of old when the Israelites brought so much money that they had to begin to turn them away… there was so much provision, they had no more projects… there was nothing else to do and there was so much left over… angels working on your behalf… moving things around for you… causing things to come into alignment… ha, ha, yes! Today is the day… to step into that flow… we are moving this body over… into that river… we thank You, Lord, that the door is wide open for us… hallelujah!…

Pastor Ray interjected…

Remember that brother Wigglesworth said we should ask extravagantly. Ask extravagantly! That’s the standard from heaven. That’s the Holy Ghost standard for 2018 and on through into the very end. From one degree of glory to another up and over… Whooo! We increase our expectation. New cars, new homes, new bank accounts… extravagantly asking… out of our brains and into our hearts… into the new, we step into the new by faith…
