Morning Prayer Summary for May 17, 2019

Pastor Ray…

I saw this yesterday. Maybe you’ve heard it before. This is based on 1st Cor. 14:14, “He who speaks in an unknown tongue,” what do you do? You edify yourself. So this is by Carl Peterson M.D. He conducted a study at ORU in Tulsa. He’s a brain specialist. He did research on the relationship between the brain and praying or speaking in other tongues. He found that as we pray in the spirit or worship in the spirit (heavenly language), the brain releases two chemical secretions that are directed into our immune systems, giving a 35 to 40% boost in the immune system! This promotes healing within our bodies. The secretion is triggered from a part of the brain that has no other apparent activity in humans and is only activated by our Spirit-led prayer and worship.

That is awesome! So when we say we “edify ourselves” that’s a revelation about how we do it or what happens when we do it. That’s an encouragement to pray in other tongues.

One other thing and then Kevin and Susan Fletcher are here all the way from the UK! I’m going to have them share a little bit about what they’re doing and who they are. They’re in the UK and other places. I’m going to have them share a little bit. They are a way you can connect to Europe. This is a short word from brother Hagin.

Speaking by the Spirit, just speaking words out of your own mind or thinking, but speaking by the Spirit, words that are inspired by the Spirit of God. Words that well up from within you out of your spirit, given to you by the Holy Spirit. Those words spoken boldly bring forth great happenings. Speaking by the Spirit. And so the glory of God shall come into manifestation. And some will see it like a cloud that hangs over the heads of the people. Others may not see anything but they sense the mighty move of His Spirit. Speaking by His Spirit. Yielding your tongue unto the Holy Ghost. But you see, taking time to pray in the Spirit, taking time to pray in other tongues will get you tuned up, will edify you, and get your tongue hooked up to your spirit so that when He who dwells in your spirit can give you utterance, then He takes over. And you speak out what He says, not what you think. Speak out what He wants. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And so the Spirit of Seeing and the Spirit of Knowing into a greater manifestation shall come. But all of these, all nine of these manifestations, all of these worketh that one in the self-same Spirit. And at the same time, the inspirational gifts. Men, women, speaking by the Spirit by prophecy, inspired utterance, by tongues and interpretations, shall bring forth marvelous statements and bring to pass and bring into being in this sense realm where men can see and know the operation of the Spirit of God and the manifestation of the Spirit of God and the demonstration of the Spirit of God. So rejoice ye and be ye glad. (laughter) Hallelujah!

Pastor Ray continued…

That’s what the world needs. Men and women praying in the Holy Spirit. Remember the doctor’s report. Things are loosed in our brains when we pray in the spirit and it works for our healing. Wow!

Thank You, Father, for the precious Holy Spirit. We lift You up and magnify Your name. You are worthy of all the glory and honor.

We give You free reign to our lives. We lift up our nation and our President.

There’s a building… there’s a building… there’s a building… there’s a momentum… there’s a momentum that comes by the grace, the Spirit of grace on the inside… that supernatural momentum that comes by His Spirit… no other way but by the Holy Ghost… it’s a yielding… to Him to step into that place… you have the keys… it’s that momentum that comes… it’s a building and a building every step that you take… building and building… and that momentum comes by the Holy Ghost… it’s by the Holy Ghost… and it builds and it builds and it builds… and He brings it to the end… He brings it to the finish… finished work… it’s not by our hands… it’s not because of our labor… but it’s by Him and through Him that we succeed, that we have great success… and in the end, glory to God… we can look back and see how He was working and how He was moving through us… just a vessel… a vessel for His glory… for His honor… angels working… right now the angels are working… they’re being sent out… they’re being dispatched… they’re helping in the way… in the work… they’re doing what He’s called them to do… it’s not time to draw back… it’s time to press in… it’s time to press into Him… for that direction… for that peace… for that preservation… He wants to keep you in that place with Him… so that you’re not dried up and burned out but you’re refreshed by His Spirit… by His presence… we receive that refreshing right now… we step in that place of Your grace… that refreshing… yes, You are great and mighty… complete cooperation… with You… Father, we lay our lives out before You… have Your way… yes, the past is in the past… today is a new day… we’re not looking back… anymore… we’re looking forward into those things that You have ahead… the good things You have ahead… the anointing… that You’ve prepared for this time and this place… open our eyes to see… that angelic participation, Father… yup, yup, all the keys…

Pastor Ray shared…

This morning, we have Pastor Kevin and Susan here. I want them to speak some things to you.

Kevin Fletcher shared…

Pastor Ray said he wanted us to tell people what we do and who we are. Something jumped in my spirit and this is what came to me where people say “yes.” And it’s not just a natural yes out of the mind but it’s a yes from the Spirit. When God tells you to do something, you can answer from your mind or you can answer from your spirit. When you answer from your spirit, when that “Yes” comes from your spirit, that’s a powerful yes. That’s the yes that God can get behind. If you’re just saying it from your mind, if you’re weighing all the options, if you’re coming up with your own plan, then your “yes” is your yes. It’s your plan. But when it’s a Holy Ghost from the Spirit “yes,” ho ho… oh my, my, my… that’s a yes that will carry you through. That’s a yes that will take you through whatever might come up. That yes is like a bulldozer. It’s unstoppable. Some of you need to draw on that deep and you need to say yes. So when God speaks, the answer is simple. Two words. “Yes, Sir.”

Susan Fletcher…

Can we just pray in other tongues? (group prays in tongues)

Yeah, that is the spirit of faith, the spirit of faith. Oh, those that say “yes” to the Word, those that say yes to the leading of the Spirit, yeah,… and so Father, thank You… we’re lifting that up… those that will say yes… an army of those that will say yes… that will go where You say go… that will do what You say to do… that will say what You say to say… that will pray Your way… yeah, they’re necessary… Jesus, the head of the Church… and that’s what He said and that’s what He always says… follow Me… that’s what He said to the first disciples and it’s what He says today… Follow Me!… say yes, say yes… those that will say yes, those that will respond… be it done unto me according to Your Word… the same spirit of faith… Ohhh necessary! Necessary… oh, for with the heart, man believes… and with the mouth confession is made… living by faith is living out of the heart… get out of your heads and get over into your heart… respond, respond to the Spirit’s leading… yes, yes, yes… the answer is yes before the question ever comes… the answer is yes… we say yes… to You, Lord… we say yes to Your plan… oh, for those are the ones that the Lord can work with… those that are submitted… there is the one who is the head, whose authority we are under… and we are not our own… we are bought with a price… there really is only one answer… and it’s yes… whatever You say… whatever we have to do, must lay down, leave behind… wherever You tell us to go… whatever You direct us to do… the answer is always yes, sir to You… it’s yes… we say yes to You, to Your will…yes to Your way… yes to love… to walk in love… to go the way of love… we’ll pay the price… to go Your way… it always pays more than it costs to obey God… it always pays to obey… and so, Lord, we say “here we are…” You are Lord… You’re not just savior… but You’re Lord… that means You’re master… that means we’re not our own… that means we’re here to do Your will… Jesus, just like You said, My meet is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work… so we’re of the same heart… we’re born of the same Spirit… and so our meet is to do the will of the one who sent us… and to finish… Your work… and that will require steps of obedience… and steps of faith… and we will… we dedicate ourselves to You… consecrate ourselves to you… I know You hear and remember all the times we’ve said, “whatever it is, we’ll do it.”… yeah, You’ve heard… You remember… You remind us… dreams revisited… visions stirred up again… some have just lost the vision… and let go of the dream… but that was never the Lord’s plan… and so He’s rekindling and stirring up and revisiting and reigniting and re-firing… vision, dreams, destinies… awaken to destinies… waking up… it’s time to wake up… time to come out of your slumber… what are you doing?… laying down… get up!… in the name of Jesus, get up… and be about the Father’s work… get up! the Spirit is calling… get up… get up and get going… you can and you will… just say yes… begin to say yes… yes… yes I can… where the devil has told you “no you can’t” you begin to say what the Word says… yes I can… I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me… yes I can and I will… let’s begin to say that… I can and I will… I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me… all things are possible because I believe… I can and I will… and really I have to… I can and I will and I have to and I will and I have to and I will… no is not an option… we’re “yes people” …

Finishers

We say yes until we finish the work… finishers… the mark of this people this time in this hour… finishing… wrapping things up… we have the spirit of faith to be able to finish what we’re been given to do… and we’ll finish strong… not like collapsing over the finish line, but we’re finishing strong full of strength… because we said yes… and there is supernatural grace… when you say yes you receive the grace … when you say no you reject the grace… the grace of God is the empowerment to do what He’s called you to do… when you say yes, you begin to tap into the grace… so we say yes… thank You for Your grace… the hand of the Lord upon us to do what we could never do in our own strength or any other way… but we can do all things through Christ… it’s supernatural ability… faith, yes, taps into the supernatural… God puts supernatural on your ability… thank You for the supernatural…

Pastor Ray…

I’m going to have them say a few things about what they’re doing.  One of the things you said was “yes to live.” That stuck out to me. You got to say yes to live. You can’t say “I want to die. It’s over. I’m done. I quit.” No! You cannot say that. I don’t know who that is for, maybe somebody will read it on GPAN. But you have to keep saying “Yes” to live or to life, because the Word tells us to. We’re not quitters. We’re finishers. We’re not finished or done. Because He’s not done. Because there is more. I just want to encourage people everywhere to say “yes to live.”

Susan Fletcher…

Alright, what we do. We’ve been called to the nations, so I guess I would start there. We were here for about 22 years and then we pastored in Arkansas. The Lord sent us there and we took over an existing church and then we re-launched it. It’s still going and is pastored by our kids and they’re doing great. But then the Lord sent us to the nations and that’s what we’re doing. And what our heart is, is to reach Europe. Our heart is to reach the masses of people there and to do that through a church-planting movement. Then as people come into the kingdom to help make disciples out of them by training them up in the Word. So we do Bible colleges as well.

Kevin Fletcher…

Our heart is just to see nations reached and we’re going to go wherever God tells us to go. We’re “yes people.” I want to encourage you to take the limits off God in your life. Just dream big because God’s a big God. When He places something on your heart, pray into that and just keep praying into it until you get the steps. Because there is always steps.

Susan…

Yeah, mysteries prayed when you pray in other tongues. The Bible says that you speak not to men but you speak to God, howbeit in the spirit, you speak mysteries. So the things that God has for you and how you fit into His plan… by the way your part isn’t just “your part” separated. You have a part because of His universal plan. That’s the only reason any of us have a part. So we’re not the part. He’s got the plan and we’re just pieces that fit into that. And that’s why every part is important. But as you begin to pray in other tongues, there are mysteries to you but there’s no mystery to Him. God knows all things. But as you begin to yield yourself and pray in other tongues and pray out the mysteries… mysteries prayed become mysteries revealed. And through you praying mysteries, God giving you words by the Holy Spirit as you pray then He begins to bring light on the mystery. He’s not going to show you everything. But He will show you what you need to know, when you need to know it. So that you can take your steps of faith. And then you get a little more and then you get just enough more to scratch your interests. Then you begin praying again the mysteries. Then He’ll give you a little more revelation and you get a little more revelation. And you’re able to take a step in the light and then you pray more mysteries. And He brings more revelation. And that’s just how it is. It’s a walk of faith is what it is. But every time we say yes. You say yes to that and then you say thank You, Lord, for that part and now we just begin to pray. And I’ll say to the Lord, “How does that fit? What’s the timing on that? Make that more clear to me.” And I’ll pray with my understanding but you just can only get so far with your understanding. And God has given us this amazing ability through the Holy Spirit to pray out mysteries. You can pray way ahead into parts of the plan that you have no natural knowledge of. That is so supernatural. What you’re doing here every morning, making tremendous power available and praying into the plan is so supernatural and it does not seem spectacular, but please don’t ever despise or allow it to become so common that you no longer honor this amazing language that God has given to us to be able to pray mysteries. We need to honor the Holy Spirit and we need to reverence and honor what He’s given us. This amazing tool and ability to work with Him, to see His plans come to pass. So I can’t encourage you to pray in tongues enough. I just don’t think you can do it enough. You can’t overdo it.

Pastor Ray…

You’ve seen them, you’ve heard them, you know them. When they come on your heart, lift them up. They’re part of the body of Christ. They are missionaries. They’re “yes people.” Please lift them up in prayer.
