Pastor Dustin…
Welcome to Friday morning prayer. We’re so glad that you’re here. I’m the youth pastor here at this wonderful church.
I want to read John 15:16 “You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you. And I have appointed you. I have planted you that you might go and bear fruit and keep on bearing and that your fruit may be lasting, that it may remain and abide so that whatever you ask the Father in my name as presenting all that I am, He may give it to you. This is what I command you, that you love one another. If the world hates you, know that it hated me before it hated you. If you belong to the world, the world would treat you with affection and would love you as its own. But because you are not of the world, no longer one with it, but I have chosen, selected you out of the world. The world hates you and detests you. Remember that I told you a servant is not greater than his master is not superior to him. If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word and obeyed my teachings, they will also keep and obey yours. But they will do all of this to you, inflict all of this suffering on you because of you bearing my name and on my account, for they do not know or understand the one who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin, would not be blameless, but now they have no excuse for it. Whoever hates me also hates my Father. If I had not done accomplished among them, the works which no one else ever did, they would not be guilty of sin. But the fact is now they have seen, now they have both seen these works and they have hated both me and my Father. But this is so that the word is written and their law might be fulfilled. They hated me without a cause. 26 But when the comforter, counselor, helper, advocate, intercessor, strengthener, and standby comes whom I will send to you from the Father, the spirit of truth, whom comes proceeds the Father, He will testify regarding me. 16:7, “However, I’m telling… he tells them, I’m saying this so that you’re not caught off guard. I’m telling you this so that you’re not offended so that you’re not shocked by what you’ve experienced as you go through life as a disciple. “However, I’m telling you nothing but the truth when I say it is profitable, good, expedient and advantageous for you that I go away because if I do not go away, the comforter, the counselor, the helper, the advocate, the intercessor, the strengthener, and the standby will not come to you into close fellowship with you. But if I go away, I will send him to you to be in close fellowship with you.
Acts 1:8, Jesus says, “But you shall receive power, ability, efficiency and might when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Word…
I want to talk to somebody this morning who might feel a little overwhelmed, a little discouraged. Who maybe your situation and your circumstances aren’t looking the way that you thought they would look. And I want to remind you that the same Spirit, the same power that raised Christ from the grave lives and abides in you. If God is for you, the Bible says that nothing and no one can stand against. The Bible says greater is He, that is in you than he that is in the world. We’re not called to blend in. We’re called to stand out. We’re called to be a contrast. We’re called to be the light. We’re called to be the salt. We’re called to represent Him everywhere that we go. And He said you don’t have to do it in your own strength. I’m going to send the power of God to fill you. Just receive that this morning. He said, I’m going to send the power of God to fill you, to fill you so that you can walk out the plan and purposes of God… so that you can bring healing. You can bring freedom. You can bring salvation everywhere that you go as a born again, spirit-filled believer, you have the life and the power of God on the inside of you. You have wisdom that is beyond you this morning.
Prayed…
Thank you, Father, for the victory that we have in you, for the power that we have in you, for the wisdom that we have in you, for the grace that is upon us.
We pray for boldness, Lord.
Father, this morning great grace rests richly upon us… a supernatural empowerment, a supernatural equipping…
What are you facing? There is a greater supply of grace that is available to you. Receive it by faith, acknowledge your need for it.
I pray that you would be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in your inner most being … strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in your inner most being … filled with hope, faith, joy, to overflow and overflow of joy and overflow of peace.
Let’s declare as it is in heaven it’s going to be in my church. It’s going to be in my city. It’s going to be in my nation… let’s believe this morning that the glory of God covers the earth, covers our city, covers our nation. Like the waters cover the deep…
Prayer for revival…
We thank you, Father, for a revival. We thank you for a move of your Spirit… Something that no man, no person manufacturers … no one gets credit for it… except for you… something that cannot be contained… something that spreads like wildfire across churches, across denominations, across cities, across nations, across the world… a flood of your Spirit, a deluge of your Spirit … a wave of revival… covering cities… covering nations … lives changed… minds changed… people changed … changing generations … bringing a unity, bringing a realignment, bringing a change, a shift … bringing a correction… bringing a renewal… yes, a renewal… Yeah, it’s a new thing. It’ll be done in a new way, but really it’s very old. It’s His word… It’s eternal.
Prayer for hunger…
I thank you that you said you give us the will and the desire to do your good pleasure. You give us the grace and the strength to do it, but you also give us the will … you give us the desire … you give us the hunger
I pray, Father, that you would stir up that hunger in each believer … you would fan the flame in their hearts…
I pray, Father, for a greater hunger…
I pray, Lord, that we would not be satisfied with a form of godliness. We would want the true power. We would not be satisfied with anything other than you. We have to have you, we have to have your power. We have to have your presence.
Prayer of reassurance…
Those things will not destroy you. They’ll catapult you into your calling. They’ll release you into the… It’s connected to the things that you have in your heart … like Joseph would have never been before the king had he not been thrown in prison. He would have never been in Potiphar’s house had he not been sold into slavery. He would have never been sold into slavery if he hadn’t been thrown into the pit … every step the enemy thinks he’s taking you backwards, God is moving you forwards.
It might look like two steps backwards, but it’s actually moving you closer into the plan and the purpose that God has for your life. Why couldn’t He do that for a nation? If He could do that for one person, why couldn’t He do that for a state? If He could do it for one, why can’t He do it for more?
Sister Barb prayed…
Victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory in Jesus’ name … He’s given us the victory …it is ours today. Jesus has moved. He has moved. He has sown the seed. He has moved on your behalf. Victory. Victory is yours. Victory is yours. There’s a breaking… it’s breaking now. It’s breaking in Jesus’ name.

Victory, victory! by His grace and by His hand in the name of Jesus… we take hold… we take hold of that victory. We embrace that victory… in the mighty name of Jesus. He is exalted on high, far above all things … far above all things … His name is lifted up. Jesus Emmanuel, God with us, God with us … the deliverer, the master, the king, the prince of peace … mighty God … above and beyond all that we cannot imagine or think … He has great and mighty. There is no one like Him. No one compares to Him. No one compares to His greatness … He has compassionate… and He is moved … by the feeling… He identifies with us … We are all over. We are over. We are all over. We are all over. We are over. We are all over. We are all over. We are over and above… over and above in Jesus’ name. Over and above. He has lifted us up and out in Jesus’ name…
He is risen. He is risen and you are risen with Him. You are risen with Him and you are seated with Him in all power and authority, glory to God. Hallelujah… Satan is under your feet… darkness is under your feet… Take your place…
Prayer about a shift coming…
I said a shift. I said a shift. I set a shift in Jesus’ name… now, now, now, now, now, now, now in Jesus’ name… every hindrance will bow in Jesus’ name. Every blockage will bow in the name of Jesus Christ. Those things, those circumstances that seemed to stand in the way will be shifted in the name of Jesus Christ. Out of the way in Jesus’ name… direction comes now in Jesus’ name, direction comes now in Jesus’ name. Supply comes now in the name of Jesus. That supernatural abundance flows now … that provision flows now in Jesus’ name.
Oh yeah. Oh, oh, oh, the things you’ve been crying out for… The things you’ve been crying out for … it’s time to touch those things. It’s time to touch those things. It’s time to move in those gifts. It’s time to move in those gifts. It’s time to step into that calling in the name of Jesus… ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, now… in Jesus’ name … in Jesus’ name… Just go ahead. Just go ahead. Just go ahead and obey… He’s made a way. He’s made the way. Ha ha. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid. Haha. That’s why they prayed … give us boldness … cause they were afraid, but the Lord says be not afraid… Draw on the boldness of the holy one… a boldness will come upon you. Whew. That you have not seen… a boldness… not a boldness of the flesh but a boldness of the Spirit will come upon you to be a witness, to move in the gifts, to step out in the anointing by the prompting and the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Pastor, pastor, pastor, pastor, pastor, pastor, pastor, pastor, pastor, pastor, pastor, pastor, pastor. Oh, Yeah, yeah, yeah. You said it. I don’t want to be a pastor … you said it. I don’t want to be a pastor? Ha ha ha. Hey. Hey. Hey. But the Lord says, this is the way, this is the way. Haha… recognize, recognize, recognize it… that drawing … And when you allow … him to pull you into that place… whew… the ease, the ease that will come to you… that grace that will flow to you…
Don’t put it off … don’t delay … embrace, embrace, embrace. Embrace it now. Embrace it now … a hearing ear. I have a hearing ear and a hearing heart … eyes, be clear in Jesus’ name … to see… understanding come … revelation come … Yeah, that… that place in the Spirit opened, opened open now in Jesus’ name … to see those things, to see those things that need to be seen…
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you, Jesus. Oh, the anointing … it’s the anointing, the anointing right now, the anointing, the anointing breaks every yoke … breaks every yoke of bondage … removes every burden … brings peace … into your soul, brings peace to your soul.

You don’t have to see a hundred steps ahead. Just take the next step. And then the next step and He’ll lead. You He’ll lead you by His Spirit.
Thank you, Jesus. Thank you. Hallelujah.
