- “Morning Chapel Prayer Playlist”
DJ led prayer…
Father, we thank you for this nation, the United States of America. We say President Joe Biden is blessed. He is in good health… and his wife… we cover them in the blood of Jesus. We call them blessed. We call them to prosper. We call them full of wisdom… full of direction for this country. They make Holy Ghost decisions because we pray for them. Thank you, Father
We cover our state of Minnesota and the Governor of Minnesota with the blood of Jesus. We declare he makes godly decisions. He leads us into prosperity and blessings.
The blood of Jesus covers this country—shore to shore, border to border… all the borders, north, south, east, west are covered in the blood.
The blood of Jesus covers every plane going out, every plane coming in…
We glorify you in this country. Thank you, Father. We are here to seek the purpose and the will of God for this country.

Around 20 years ago, I woke up around 3 a.m. and started praying in tongues. Just praying and praying and praying. I don’t know why. Now it’s about 5 o’clock or so. I started thinking about my mom who was in India. I start thinking about an airplane that she can fly or not because her legs were hurt. If she can fly in planes or not. I was praying.
Then around 6 or 7 o’clock, I get up and get ready and come to prayer. That morning was 20 years ago. That morning was the 9/11 attack. We’d been praying from two, three in the morning, not knowing what we’re praying, but the thought is coming that my mom will fly (?) …with planes. The Lord knew that something is happening with the planes. That was 9/11, 20 years ago. So I walked in and Pastor Lynne was here. On 9/11, we were right here and we’re still here praying.
The Lord woke up many people in the night to pray… all night and all morning. Many people got hurt and died.
Father, we remember those who died on 9/11. We pray for this country after 20 years… Twenty is the number of redemption. Father, I thank you that this country is redeemed from this. I thank you, Father, we’ll not have this anymore because we have covered this country in the blood of Jesus. We have covered the airplanes in the blood of Jesus … going in, coming out.
Thank you, Father. Blessed is the country whose God is the Lord.

Lord, we are living in the best time, the most exciting time. Our expectations are on you and how great you are and how awesome you are… you have a plan, Father, for this time right now… and it’s mighty and awesome. And you have chosen us to be your vessels on the earth today.
Pastor Ken has highlighted this book: “In a Pit With a Lion on a Snowy Day” by Mark Batterson. I read this book several years ago and I didn’t know that Pastor Ken liked this book too. I love this book. I highlighted three different sections. I’ll read out of this one called “A high view of God.”
Quote from “In a Pit With a Lion on a Snowy Day” by Mark Batterson…
According to A.W. Tozer, the most important thing about you is what comes to mind when you think about God. The most portentous fact about any man is not what he at any given time may say or do, but what he in his deep heart conceives God to be like. Were we able to extract from any man a complete answer to the question, “What comes to mind when you think about God,” we think we might predict with certainty the spiritual future of that man. How you think about God will determine who you become. You aren’t just the byproduct of nature and nurture. You are a byproduct of your “God picture,” and that internal picture of God determines how you see everything else.
Several years ago, I just happened to look at this picture on the wall and it was Einstein and he had a quote underneath it. And it said, “The most important question you’ll ever ask yourself is, is this a friendly universe?” And I thought, “Okay, that’s nice.” But then it kept visiting me and I said, “God, are you trying to tell me something?” And He said, “yes.” He said, “How do you view this world that you live in?” Because for so many years, I viewed it as being scary and not friendly. I just wanted to check out. But the truth is that it is a friendly universe. He created it to work, and God has no opposite. So the Devil comes in and he twists what God meant for good.
But in a moment of us agreeing with His great plan, what He intended from the beginning, it automatically comes back to the original state. You are the creative force in the universe. How you see things is how they manifest in your life. And the good that we see is just us agreeing with what God said and everything has to come back into line. And the Word says that He upholds everything and He maintains everything. If He was to step away from anything, even your awful situation or circumstances, He’s in it. So He’s saying, would you see Me in it? Will you see Me? Because a lot of times we look at circumstances and we say, “Well, this is bad.” But God is saying, “I’m at work in it. Will you ask Me? And I’ll show you. And then we can flip it together.” Or it can work out in a certain way because God is kind of like a chess player. He knows five strategies or moves ahead. So what you think is a bad move is strategic and He’s making it to work for you. And He wants our agreement in this.
So I thank you, Father, that you are an awesome, wonderful, and great God. And you know the end from the beginning. And you have told us how the end is. It’s good. And so today, we align ourselves with you. And the things that we don’t understand, we simply lift them up and ask you to reveal to us: What are you doing in this situation? What are you doing that I know that it’s a good thing? And I refuse to see this any other way, because I’m not siding with the devil and his prophecy and plan.
