Annie led group in worship…
Pastor Ray…
I’m camped around the cross. It’s just where I’ve been reading the Word this week. All the things that took place. I love that song that says He made a way for us. I just want to be sure that we do not forget. I don’t want us to ever, ever take it for granted … what was done for us. The abuse that our Savior had to go through. It’s hard to even imagine. But the Word makes it clear as to what happened and He made a way for us. The blood made a way for us. He made the way… He cleared out the path for us and it’s up to us to stay true to it. Just stay on it. I know the best and highest way we can do that is to stay on the Word. Stay, stay, stay.
We’re going to receive communion this morning and I want to do that up front. Yesterday, I went through a couple scriptures… especially the one where the disciples were walking along and then all of a sudden Jesus showed up. They didn’t know who He was. I love it. Luke 24:30, “ And it occurred that as He reclined at table with them, He took [a loaf of] bread and praised [God] and gave thanks and asked a blessing, and then broke it and was giving it to them. When their eyes were [instantly] opened…” As soon as He did that, their eyes were instantly opened “and they [clearly] recognized Him, and He vanished (departed invisibly).” Then He exited almost in the same way He just showed up. He spoke to them. Their eyes were opened. I want us to just believe for our eyes this morning to be opened even more clearly, like I just said to just see Him. Think more about Him. Give Him more reverence and honor.
And, of course, we know that when we take the elements we are reminding ourselves about what He did for us, just like Annie just sang. What He did do for us, it counts all the way through our lives on this earth. Because He made a way. He made a way for us. He set us on that course. He put the plan in us. And we believe.
Father, before we receive these elements, I pray that the eyes of our understanding would be even more greatly opened, that we might see You more clearly, know You more intimately, think more about You, talk more about You, speak to You more often, lift You up always, give You all the worship that’s due unto You, all the glory, the praise and just keep praising, worshiping out front as we go through these days. As we go through them, we know that You have already worked out our pathway and we believe to see it more clearly. So that’s our prayer this morning, that, Father, our eyes would see more clearly what You’ve called each one of us individually to and just know that You planned it, that You made a way. And so I pray that our eyes would bring You to our remembrance and that our eyes would be opened in the same way that we just read about.

In Song of Solomon 2:13, it says, “Can you not discern this new day of destiny breaking forth around you? The early signs of My purposes and plans are bursting forth.”
Pastor Ray…
I like that. Thank you. So we’ll take the bread element and I’ll read 1st Corinthians 11:23, “that the Lord Jesus on the night when He was treacherously delivered up and while His betrayal was in progress took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it…” Let’s do that. Bring it to our remembrance what He did for us on the cross. He broke it and said, “Take, eat. This is My body, which is broken for you. Do this to call Me [affectionately] to remembrance.” Let’s do that. Thank You, Lord. We are grateful and thankful. Thank You from our hearts for what You did and how You did it and it’s still unfolding for us all today. Our eyes are opened to see You in a better way, more, more, more of Your presence in our lives.
Then in verse 25, “Similarly when supper was ended, He took the cup also, saying, This cup is the new covenant [ratified and established] in My blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, to call Me [affectionately] to remembrance.” Let’s do that. Thank You for the blood. It seems like many aren’t speaking so much about the blood and we know in some churches, they took any songs about the blood out of their song books. But without the blood, without the shedding of the blood, where would we be? I don’t know what else to say about it. Miss Annie, would you sing about the blood?
Annie sang about the blood…
Pastor Ray…
Thank You for the blood…
1 The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack.
2 He makes me lie down in [fresh, tender] green pastures; He leads me beside the still and restful waters.
3 He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness [uprightness and right standing with Him—not for my earning it, but] for His name’s sake.
4 Yes, though I walk through the [deep, sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my [brimming] cup runs over.
6 Surely or only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord [and His presence] shall be my dwelling place. (Ps. 23 Amp.)
We said this before and I know brother Hagin said it as well, when that table is prepared before or in the presence of our enemies, what is on the table is victory. It’s all the victories that He won for us. It all goes back to the cross… goes back to the blood and what was done there. Thank You, Father.
The joy of the Lord keeps being our strength. I’m not sad. I’m glad. The joy internally knowing these things that we just read. Lord, You lead us and guide us in the right way. Thank You.
Before I forget it, I want to want to announce again that next week the meetings will be going on here at Living Word. Yesterday I said morning prayer would not be on. But we will be on! What we’re going to do for next week is replay some of our prayer sessions in the past. It’ll be on the same channels at the same time. A couple of them will be Pastor Lynne. TV found another one and then they’ll pick the rest of them from our different broadcasts. So it’ll be good. And the anointing will still be working. That’s what I love about it. Once we speak forth words, those words don’t just fall to the ground. They keep going. Prayers that we prayed years ago are still working. Songs that were sung are still going out. I love that. So it’ll be good. And the meetings will be great.
I wanted us to go through this confession.
KEITH MOORE CONFESSION
Father, God, I believe You. I am your child. I serve You. I belong to You and I believe You. And I’m the seed of Abraham. And I’m fully persuaded that what You have said to me, You are well able to perform.
I am persuaded that every good thing You have begun in me, You will complete it. You will finish it until the end. You are the author and the finisher of my faith.
I believe You. It shall be in my life and over all mine, just like You have said. Just like You have told me. I will serve You. I will run my whole race. I will finish my whole course with joy. I will overcome every trial. I will be more than a conqueror.
Things are changing in my life. The perfect will of God, the complete plan of God is unfolding in my life. The Lord is causing me to see. I am seeing. I am knowing. I am understanding the will of God, the plans of God, the ways of God. Revelation is flowing in my life. I will see things I have not seen. I will understand great things I have not understood. I will grow. I am growing and I will grow mighty in spirit, in faith, in grace, in truth, in power, in victory. Hallelujah!
My finances are getting stronger. I’m coming out of debt. I’m getting stronger. Money flows to me in great abundance. I always have more than enough. I lack for no good thing. I want for no good thing.
My body is kept by the power of God. Every system, every organ, every part is kept by the anointing of God, by the strength of God. No disease can live in my body. No disease can operate in me. I’m strong in the Lord and the power of his might.
My children, my grandchildren, are growing up in the nurture, in the instruction, in the protection, in the care of the Most High. Everyone will live free. Everyone will serve God. Everyone will be fruitful in the things of God. Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
NO weapon formed against me shall prosper. NO work of the enemy, NO purpose of his will stand, but the purpose of God, the plan of God WILL stand, WILL be completed, WILL be fulfilled in my life. Hallelujah! Praise God for it! Thank You, Lord! Hallelujah!
Some ministers need to say this. Everybody can say it out loud because we all have a ministry even though you may not be called to five-fold. Say it out loud.
My ministry will not be held down. My ministry will not be suppressed. It will not be restricted. It will not be stopped. But all that the Lord has called me to do shall come up, shall come out, shall come forth. Every word of God He’s spoken concerning me shall come to pass.
Pastor Ray continued…
Everything He said about us… oh! I get it. Our eyes can see more clearly. Thank You! What a joy it must have been for the Savior to rise up out of that grave. What a joy to know He did it. He went all the way to the cross. He did what His Father told Him to do and He rose up on the third day. Hallelujah! So He’s caused us to rise up too.
There is nothing we cannot attain to. There’s nothing we can’t do through You. Things that were broken, be restored and made whole. Stay whole. Stay well. Stay right. Stay open. The State of Minnesota is continually moving in God’s right way. Whatever state you live in, keep on believing your state is moving in God’s right way. Whatever country you live in, we’re in agreement with you that your nation will move toward God’s way. It’s coming to pass. It says in Psalm 22, all the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord and all the families in the nations shall bow down and worship before the Lord. We worship You today.

Jeannie…
There is change in the air. Arise, My love My beautiful companion and run with me to the higher place. So we get in agreement with that right now. Church! Church, we run with you to the higher place. We declare that the higher places belong to the Lord. All those high places the enemy has occupied that has caused victimization… that has caused people to be oppressed… it’s time, it’s time, it’s time for justice… it’s time for the recompense of the Lord… for the oppressed to be freed… Church! Let an alarm be sounded within the Church… let it cause the Church to rise up… that there is change in the air… she runs with you to the higher place… she stands in her authority… she walks out her calling because change is in the air… change! change! … familiar ways forgotten… going by Your Word… Father, I thank You that You show us that we hear the earth crying out for the sons and daughters to rise up… that we hear the calling of the earth crying out… the earth is crying out… we get out of the pew, out of the building… we serve and we bring freedom and deliverance in the midst of our own brokenness comes healing… in the midst of our own weakness comes Your strength… the goodness of God all over the earth… change in the air… we run with You to the higher place… battle weariness that’s been lying to the church, telling her she doesn’t have the answer… battle weariness has been her focused on herself… looking at things that thinking they just look too big… we declare that there’s nothing impossible with God… this is our hour, our moment… we are the only ones… the Holy Spirit stirs in our hearts to awaken us to rise up to go out… to heal the sick and brokenhearted… the captives… the affluent are broken, the poor are broken… I thank You fight now that a shift happens in the body of Christ that a problem truly becomes an opportunity. That every time she sees someone that’s oppressed, joy rises up in her… she sees it like I would see a shoe sale… that’s what it’s like when we see the oppressed… it’s an opportunity to take dominion and bring freedom… Father, we thank You that those that have been freed are now the freedom fighters…
Pastor Ray…
I saw this while you were saying that a door with a doorknob that was glistening gold. I reached for it and turned the knob. And I began to pull open the door. Wide open. I couldn’t see yet what was on the other side until I took a step into through the door. And it was the most amazing thing. It was so bright, so light. And there were steps out front. Different degrees of authority or victory or wholeness. Prosperity was on the other side of the door. I could only stand and look in amazement at the glorious presence and power and anointing and the increase. For the church! For the body of Christ… that we might walk in everything we’ve been equipped to walk in and go forth. And contend. And call it forth. Ha, ha, ha! More and more and more and more. Psalm 27:13 says what would have become of me had I not believe that I would see the Lord’s goodness in the land of the living. That’s now. Verse 14, Wait. It’s a good kind of waiting. Wait, hope for an expect the Lord. Be brave. Be of good courage and let your heart to stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord.
Lord, we do that right now. We expect it and believe You for it. Begin to operate in what You called us to operate in… and watch the boundaries be moved out… watch the furtherance… the greater…
I keep picking up that word “broken, broken, broken.” It just keeps coming up. Today we reverse the broken things. We reverse those things that have been broken… those things that have been separated and call for this day a complete and total turnaround and restoration… we call it forth from one part of our nation to the other… from the north to the south, east to the west… all over America… things that were broken, be restored in Jesus’ name… we call forth skillful Holy Ghost given wisdom from heaven for all of our leaders, in Jesus’ name… we lift up our President in the name of Jesus, we pray safety and protection by and through the blood of the lamb… we plead that blood over every state in America in Jesus’ name… and we push back with the blood against all the obstacles, all the rebellion… we call you down and out… we declare, devil, you’re defeated… the power of the blood, we hold it against you … S.T.O.P… stop!
That’s it! ha, ha, ha… (laughing now)… hallelujah… how good it is…
Annie, go ahead and do what you want to do.
Annie begins to pray in the spirit then shares…
What keeps coming up in my spirit is I see David with his five smooth stones and he’s saying, “who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he would defy the living God?” And my arm was going like this. I was like, “Lord, what is that?” He said, “David went like this with his sling.” So I’m slinging the blood of Jesus at the Coronavirus. I’m slinging the blood of Jesus at rioting and rebelliousness. I’m slinging the blood of Jesus at lawlessness and iniquity and idolatry and perversion and every ungodly thing that would exalt itself against the living God. And the angels of God take those words that we’re slinging and they’re carrying them, like that little stone, they’re carrying them straight into the head of the giant that is exalting itself against the God of Israel, against the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We say to you, coronavirus, just break apart. We curse you at your molecular structure. We break every chemical bond that would hold you together and we command you to dissipate and fall apart from one end of this globe to the other. You banish away and come to nothing who have tried to stop the Gospel of Jesus from going across the earth. In Jesus’ name.
Pastor Ray…
Remember what happened to the giant after he fell to the ground. What happened? He got his head cut off. I said, HE GOT HIS HEAD CUT OFF! Hallelujah!
Annie…
With his own sword. David didn’t have a sword. He took Goliath’s sword. “Oh this will do.” Whack!
Jeannie…
You know what I saw with that? When we cut off his head, we cut off every evil idea, every evil tactic is cut off when we cut off its head.
Pastor Ray…
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord!
