Pastor Ray…
I want to pray again for Landon. We want him totally, absolutely, completely whole and out of the hospital. Last Wednesday, Ms. Annie had a scripture she shared with us. Maybe you could explain it?
Ms. Annie…
I feel like I have to explain a little about the kingdom process: how God gave the Word to be spoken and how the Holy Spirit will breath on a word you are reading and it will come alive in a different way as something to pray or for your faith to connect. But in praying for Landon, I was reading in Acts the story of how Paul was preaching and there was a young man named Eutychius sitting in the window and they were on the third floor. And as Paul preached on and on, the young man fell asleep and fell out of the third floor window and was taken up dead. Then the Holy Spirit breathed on that and I thought about Landon. I thought, “He fell off the third floor” and everybody thought he probably would be dead. I wouldn’t expect anyone to survive being thrown off the third floor onto a hard surface at the Mall of America.
Paul went down and said, “Don’t be afraid. He is alive.” So the Holy Spirit breathed on those words for me. And I remembered how brother Copeland preaches on the kingdom process. It’s something that I have taken into my prayer life. The Holy Spirit breathes on the word you are to pray and then you are to say it. The same way the Spirit hovered on the waters and darkness was on the face of the deep and then God said! And when God said “Light Be” at the speed of light the universe came into existence. And we are in His image and His DNA and we do the same thing.
So that is what happened when I was reading that scripture. He fell off the third floor and he was taken up dead and Paul said “Don’t be afraid. He is not dead. He is alive.” So, I just started praying for Landon that scripture “don’t be afraid. He is not dead. He is alive!” I just took that for Landon.
But there was that little piece there about the third floor that reminded me of him. And being thrown or falling from the third floor like Eutychius did, that is nothing to our God. And because we are speaking the Words of God that are breathed over Landon and we speak them in prayer, we do not fear. He is not dead. He is alive.
Pastor Ray…
I read it from the Message translation this morning, Acts 20:9–12. It’s interesting, in the upper room there was a lot of lamps. Why does the Bible even say that?
Scripture focus…
(7–9) We met on Sunday to worship and celebrate the Master’s Supper. Paul addressed the congregation. Our plan was to leave first thing in the morning, but Paul talked on, way past midnight. We were meeting in a well-lighted upper room. A young man named Eutychus was sitting in an open window. As Paul went on and on, Eutychus fell sound asleep and toppled out the third-story window. When they picked him up, he was dead.
(10–12) Paul went down, stretched himself on him, and hugged him hard. “No more crying,” he said. “There’s life in him yet.” Then Paul got up and served the Master’s Supper. And went on telling stories of the faith until dawn! On that note, they left—Paul going one way, the congregation another, leading the boy off alive, and full of life themselves. Acts 20:7–12 (MSG)
So the boy didn’t leave. He is still there in the morning. He is doing good. Just reading this here, they were full of life themselves.
Let’s pray first for Landon’s family. This has been a while ago. I was in France when this happened. And they knew about it there.
Thank You, Father God, for the power of the presence of Your Holy Spirit. We open our hearts. We yield to You, Holy Spirit. We can’t create or manufacture things. We can’t create certain things that need to be changed or arranged. But we know You are the Great Creator, the Waymaker, and You have made a way where there was no way. We are the distributors, and You are the manufacturer. If bones need to be healed, they will be healed! Whatever needs to take place. But we are lifting up and praying over Landon’s parents, his grandparents, the relatives. They have been day by day by day by day on it and in the hospital and continually surrounded by that atmosphere. So we pray a strong presence. We ask for Your presence to be upon them in a new way today. That they would be strengthened from heaven, that the anointing would rise up even to a greater degree in them, that they would be encouraged. If some of them had sort of run out of gas so to speak, just the war of attrition, day after day after day, every hour of the day and night, we pray that supernatural strengthening from heaven. We know that You are our strength; You are their strength. We agree with them, stand beside them, encourage them, speak it over them. Wherever they are right now this morning, we declare “supernatural strength!” That’s the strength from heaven, an internal, even the joy that You’ve placed within them, the joy, Your joy would bring about more strength for them to carry on, keep moving, keep believing, and keep receiving.
And we pray for Landon. We declare over him the blood of Jesus this morning and the protection we receive with that blood. No weapon formed against him can prosper, no words of the Devil, no words from other people, no discouraging words, no, in Jesus’ name. This boy is protected by the blood. We pray over him from the top of his head to the very soles of his feet. What needs to be lined up, will be lined up. What needs to be healed up, is being healed up. Wholeness, wholeness, wholeness in Jesus’ name. Restored, made new, healed in every way in Jesus’ name.
We pray over his mind that he would not be traumatized by anything that ever happened to him in that fall. Even just the memory of it, removed in Jesus’ name that inside and outside he is restored. His mind is whole. His thoughts are right. He is moving in the right way. Everything that still needs to be done will be done, and it already has been settled in heaven. He was healed because You shed that blood on the Cross at Calvary. Thank You for the power of the blood and the stripes Jesus took upon His back. We can say without a doubt “Landon is healed and restored in Jesus’ name.”
Thank You, Father, we agree for it. We stand in agreement. We have no doubt about it. This is Your plan. This is Your will, Lord. Thank You for it, hallelujah.
I want to pray over Pastor Tim this morning. Yesterday he couldn’t come to the service. He was supposed to play in the morning but he had an accident. He was shaking a sweatshirt out of the dryer and one of the metal ends went right into his eye. I found out yesterday and had opportunity to agree with him before they did anything. They spent five hours in urgent care and today they were going to see a specialist to be sure about the eye. What he said to me was they said he had 20/20 vision in the other eye but it was the left eye that was hurt. So, I just texted back “You have 20/20 vision in both eyes. And so he agreed with that and we agree with him that he has 20/20 vision in the left eye too.
Scripture focus…
(14) Is anyone among you sick? He should call in the church elders (the spiritual guides). And they should pray over him, anointing him with oil in the Lord’s name.
(15) And the prayer [that is] of faith will save him who is sick, and the Lord will restore him; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. James 5:14–15 (AMPC)
That’s an accidental attack upon him and I know exactly where it came from. We know and we refuse whatever the plan of the enemy was and use this scripture in verse 16 where it says.
…The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]. (James 5:16b AMPC)
The effectual prayer, the power from heaven, we declare it this morning “It’s working and it’s working right now.” It was working yesterday and it’s working today to completely restore that eye to the 20/20 vision in Jesus’ name.” Oh, thank You, Father, for the power of the blood. We stand in agreement with Pastor Tim and Monica.
We worship You. We honor You. We magnify You. Thank You, Lord. You are the Healer. You are the Waymaker. Thank You, Father. You are the expert. You have the final say. What You said, what You did, what Jesus’ did and went through all the way to the Cross at Calvary and the blood that was shed and He said “It is finished.” It was finished. And then what Jesus took upon His back on that Cross. Oh, Lord, thank You for the stripes that You took on our behalf and You did it for Pastor Tim so that we can say this morning that He is restored. We speak directly to the left eye and speak to you and say “you’ve been made whole. You have been made to be restored and you will be 20/20 just like your other eye by the power of the Holy Spirit within us.”
Thank You, Father. Thank You, Father. And the same goes for any person here. Healing, restoration, made whole, not just eyes, but every internal part, maybe things we maybe didn’t know they needed to be restored. They are restored by the blood of the Lamb in the name of Jesus.
If you know what you need, receive the answer today. For the effectual fervent heartfelt prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power, dunamis power available to bring that healing, that restoration to you.
Now in Jesus’ name, if you have a family member, let that name come up in your heart. We agree with these. Maybe they are young ones maybe they are not young. We agree with these members of your families that they would be restored too.
Whole, healthy, restored, whatever was trying to come against them, be thou removed in Jesus’ name! If things that were broken, be restored and made whole. No accidents can come our way. We are protected by the blood. There is protection in that precious blood. Our families are protected. Our children, grandchildren are protected in the blood—wholeness, wholeness, wholeness, direction, revelation, an end of some things and a beginning of the new.
The body, the bodies, the body of Christ, Oh, thank You that this company of believers right here, those that call this their home church, we plead the blood over this entire body. We plead it over Pastor Mac, Pastor Lynne. We cover and declare the blood of Jesus is over both of them. Hallelujah! No weapon, no plan of the enemy can come against them. They are whole. They are healthy (ha, ha, ha) hallelujah! They’re strengthened from heaven today. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is working and functioning in our pastors this morning in Jesus’ name.
That dynamite power, that supernatural power is working on behalf of every part of this church in Jesus’ name. It’s working for us in the future. It’s lining things up. It’s restoring things. Keys, we pray over the keys for the future steps, for the future rooms, for the future increase, for the momentum by the Spirit. We pray over the keys that we’ll not miss one opportunity, not miss one door, not miss one step but in Jesus’ name, oh, no! The things that were broken, be restored in Jesus’ name.
Maybe you are aware of someone in this ministry, someone that comes to this church. One reason or another, something got broken, something needs to be restored. I am not just talking about bones but I am talking about bones. But there are other things that maybe are broken off. Maybe there’s some mending that needs to take place, some restoration that needs to come forth. I am thinking about someone right now that has a situation in their leg, their bones. But you let the Spirit reveal unto you. We lift up these men, these women, these children.
Be whole! Be restored! In Jesus’ name. Anyone that’s in the hospital, we circle the hospitals in Jesus’ name. Thank You, Lord. Wholeness, healed, impossible situations turned around in Jesus’ name. Coming up on the healing, coming up on the restoration, coming up on the wholeness. We command these things to come forth. A door, a door, doors, doors of opportunity. Souls, Father. We thank You for the souls that have come in but we pray over the laborers that are going out this week, today all the way through this week. We pray for the laborers to know exactly where to go, when to go, what to say. Thank You for the anointing on the laborers. Oh, my! Line them up. Line these connections up.
More and more and more and more souls coming in, out on the streets – wholeness, health, restoration of bodies, natural bodies. Let it be a light, let it be a sign, let it be like a dinner bell bringing in the lost that they might come out of the darkness and right on over into the light! Answers, answers, divine answers. They are answers, solutions to situations, answers to problems. Maybe we could say it on someone’s behalf “Well, what am I supposed to do? Where am I supposed to go? What am I supposed to say?” Words directed by the Spirit of God, the Spirit from heaven, the Holy Spirit will bring you up to do the things He is calling you to do. Words spoken by the Spirit.
So, there will be revelation words. So there will be great insight, insight into mysteries that have been held for this time! Open up those things that need to be opened up, revealing those things that need to be revealed. Answers! Revelation! Revelation knowledge, wisdom, great wisdom. Oh, thank You for it, Lord.
Brother DJ…
Pastor Kelly, I would like to give you a testimony about healing. More than 10 years ago on a Wednesday afternoon, I was driving a couple miles from here when I got a phone call. My brother let me know my mom in India had a stroke. Her whole body on the right side was paralyzed. I told my brother I would call him right back. So, what I did was I called a prayer line. I said, “Can you pray for me for my mother in India?” And they prayed. I got my mind set up and I called my mom. And she had responded better after the prayer than before when I had talked to my brother.
That Wednesday night, an evangelist named David Horton was doing a healing service at Living Word. He prayed for many people and many people were healed of all kinds of diseases, all kinds of conditions. Then he said “If you have a loved one that is sick and they cannot be here, I want you to come up and get the handkerchief.” He had little prayer cloths sitting there that he had prayed over and released the anointing. He said, “If you want to take it home and put it on their body, they will be healed.”
You know my mom was not here, she was in India. So, I went up and took one cloth and the next day I put it in the envelope with a picture of me and my son and sent it to India. Now, behold, it usually takes 10 or 12 days to get to India but it happened to be it got there in three days, into the hands of my mom. They called me and said “What is that?” I said, “This is a prayer cloth, prayed over in our church. You put it on your body and the Lord is going to heal you.”
A week later she was feeling better but still paralyzed. Two or three weeks later, I called her and she was walking much. I left them alone. A month and a half later, I called and my mother in New Deli attending a wedding ceremony. From the city where I live, New Deli is at least 3 or 4 hundred miles. So, the Lord healed her through the cloth sent from this place, prayed over by David Horton.
I got it while you were praying for Pastor Tim, I happen to have this cloth, that you all and Pastor Ray can pray over and send it to Pastor Tim.
Father, we praise Your holy name. You are the Lord God who healeth thee. You took sickness. You took disease. You took poverty, every curse on Your body that we don’t have to carry that. We speak in the name of Jesus. The same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead! Who healed my mother in India years ago through the anointing on the cloth and the Word. He sent His Word and healed!
Father, I thank You that even in this chapel today, whatever the sickness or pain or disease in the body that they came in with, they will leave without pain, without disease, without sickness!

Pastor Ray…
Thank You, Father, we lay hands on this piece of fabric, exactly the Word has taught us and shown us, even the shadow healed people, but the fabric, the anointing resident within the fabric brought about healing to those that were sick. We lay hands, we agree, we believe for the anointing to go forth into this fabric and bring restoration and wholeness and wellness in Jesus’ name. Thank You for it, Father. Thank You, Lord.
Ms. Annie led us singing You Are the God That Heals Our Disease
Pastor Ray…
Hallelujah. In First Peter chapter 5, basically it’s talking to us about humbling ourselves, not thinking we are more than what we are but humble ourselves before Him and let Him exalt or do whatever it is that he wants to do through us or for us. But then in verse 7, 8, and 9 sometimes when the enemy tries to have his way, care, anxiety, those kinds of things, come up. And so it says here:
(7) Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.
(8) Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour.
(9) Withstand him; be firm in faith [against his onset—rooted, established, strong, immovable, and determined], I Peter 5:7–9a (AMPC)
Pastor Ray…
In my Bible, I have a line going down here and I had to unfold this page to see what I did write in here. But it says “Stay in the presence.” That way in His presence we can withstand him, we can be firm in our faith, we can continually be rooted and established, be strong and be immovable and determined. We have to be determined. We have to have our mouth speaking the right things to keep up determined to see what His plan or what His will is for us but for the restoration, for the completeness of that wholeness. Thank You for it, Father, today. Thank You, Lord.
While Ms. Annie sings, think about the importance of His presence. To be saturated so that, that anointing from within, His presence, would come through us so that sometimes we wouldn’t even have to say much. But what we say would carry that presence to others that we come in contact with and our words, our thoughts, would be His Words, His thoughts here in these days.
Ms. Annie led us singing In Your Presence There Is Peace
Pastor Ray…
That’s part of First Peter 5, the last part of verse 10.
…Christ Jesus, will Himself complete and make you what you ought to be, establish and ground you securely, and strengthen, and settle you. I Peter 5:10b (AMPC)
I like that, settle in Him, on Him, in His Word, real stable, real fixed and He’ll establish us, and ground us, and strengthen us.
Father, thank You. By the power of the Spirit through Jesus’ Christ, this Word tells us we are changing, we are being totally and completely strengthened, and we’re settled and secure in what You’ve said in Your Word and what You’ve said by Your Spirit, through Your Spirit. We take it. We receive it by faith this morning. It’s been settled. Healing is settled. Prosperity is settled. The future is settled. You did make a way through that precious blood that was shed then at Calvary on that Cross. You made a way. So, we take our place this morning believing to receive it and to walk in the fullness of it. Thank You for it.
We lift this day, call it supernaturally blessed! Wherever we should be, that’s where we are going to be. The words that we are to speak, the people we are to come in contact with, we believe for it, Lord. It’s a set up! You set it up for us. You preordained it for us! And it will work out right. We thank You for it in Jesus’ name. Amen.
