Morning Prayer Summary for Thursday, July 22, 2021

Annie led group in worship…
Pastor Ken…

This morning, I just want to flow and just do what God wants us to do. Hallelujah. One of the things I think it’s important is for us online and in-person is to continue to cultivate an expectation. I feel like that’s one of the things that God is saying to us now. And I can almost say it prophetically. I hear it in my heart. I’ve heard it from others that’s this is a time and an hour we must cultivate expectation like never before. That God is at work and that He is filling the earth with His glory, that He’s on the move. Don’t let what you see in the media… don’t let what you sense in your symptoms… don’t let what you see with your natural eyes, fool you. God is on the rise. The tide of the Spirit of God, the extension of His kingdom, is happening now like never before. The realm of God, the realm of the spirit is moving closer and coming together with this realm.

Things are happening quicker and quicker. And the verbiage I’ve used is that God is pushing down on the accelerator. He’s calling us to just do it, get after it, get it done!

This morning, Father, we just thank you that’s your faithful and you’re speeding things up in a good way. You’re speeding up your purposes and your plans… speeding up the answer that’s coming to our prayers and to our faith and to our contending in the spirit. You’re speeding up the fulfillment of the prophetic, where somebody says it, somebody prays it, somebody prophesies it. And then just hours later, minutes later, there it is. It shows up! It happens. It comes from that realm and comes into this realm.

And so, Father, we just yield ourselves over to you today. We cultivate an anticipation, a holy anticipation on the inside of us, even right now in the hearts of each of us. And each of those who are streaming us on YouTube, on Facebook, on online church. Father, I pray that you would stir a holy anticipation in us today. Lord, for the will of God, for the plan of God, for the promises of God, to show up even today, Lord. Yeah, where we would just daily say “something good’s happening to me.” Even something real good’s going to happen… show up in my driveway… show up in my bank account… show up in my emotions and in my relationships, in my family and in my situation and in this unsurmountable problem or this unknown that I’m facing. We declare something good is happening today in that situation…

We declare that the God of heaven is breaking forth in Jesus’ name… He is the God of the breakthrough… we just call upon you as the God of the breakthrough and we declare “breakthrough today.” We declare progress today specifically … to unseemingly, unsurmountable problems, seemingly unanswerable situations, seemingly perpetual or perennial issues that we’re facing maybe in our lives or maybe in the church or maybe in our city, our nation, or the nation you’re a part of.

Yes, we declare it shall not be held back. It shall not be held in store any longer… but we declare a breakthrough today in the name of Jesus … for those who are standing for healing, who are facing a negative diagnosis … who have no good options in the natural, in their physicality, in their bodies, we declare “breakthrough.” We declare in the name of Jesus, “Cancer, you are broken! The assignment of evil and sickness and disease that has tried to be perpetrated on your life, we declare that assignment is broken. Sickness is broken in the name of Jesus … and something good is breaking forth. Hallelujah. Solutions arising to the surface now, coming forth now …

Pastor Ken…

I’m just thinking of this. I’m thinking of brother Copeland years ago would talk about hope… how you have to have faith, hope, and love. Our faith works by love. Love is all important and paramount, but hope is still part of the mix. Hope is still necessary. Hope is still necessary in your earnest expectation of God. I remember one time he talked about hope is really in a word picture is getting on the edge of your seat, ready to get up, ready to praise God, ready to reach forth with a crane neck searching, looking, expecting, anticipating that at any moment …

I like to put it this way. When you pray, when you release your faith, the answer is sent. The Bible says when you pray, Whatsoever things you desire, when you pray believe that you receive them and you shall have them. When? When you believe you receive them. When you pray. In the realm of the spirit, things operate and function, and move at the speed of light because God is light. So it happens instantaneously. But in this realm, things are much slower. So there can be perhaps in our perception a delay in the manifestation of what God intends. But in that realm, that’s why He wants us to stay over in this realm in the ring of faith and see what He sees and know what He knows. Because He sees and knows that the answer was already given, that the healing was already sent, that the promise was already provided. But sometimes things take a little time to show up.

But for us spiritually speaking, we just have to stay in a place of earnest expectation where our faith and our attention is outstretched, where we’re on the edge of our seat. And we’re saying, “I’m looking for it, Lord. I expect it today, Lord. Some good’s going to happen today.”

Don’t put your faith off. Your faith is now. Now faith is! The substance of things hoped for, the evidence or title deed of things that you’re believing for. What if it doesn’t show up today? Still believe you receive now. And stay there.

Brother Hagin used to always talk about one of the great keys of faith is you’ve got to take a step from just pray and to a step where you believe you receive… now! And then what would I do after that if it doesn’t show up. You just continue to stay over here in this place … expecting, cultivating holy anticipation, cultivating a hope. Cultivating an image down on the inside of you. Because what you visualize and what you see in your mind’s eyes is oftentimes, or should be, a preview of life’s coming attractions. Our minds are meant to be used to love God, to worship God, not to be a preview of worst-case scenarios or past regrets or what someone said or what the news media is reporting.

Our minds are meant to be a screen on the inside of us in our soul to cast the movie, the video of life’s coming attractions, according to God’s Word, according to what His Spirit is saying down on the inside of you, according to the holy written Word of God, His promise to your situation and to your life.

Prayed About Hope

Father, we just thank you that you are moving, that you are doing, that you are saying… I just feel like we need to pray for hope today… Lord, we just know that there’s been a lot of hopelessness going around in the world. A lot of chaotic situations and chaos and negativity and devastation and worst-case scenarios being reported … And in reality, many people have suffered some challenges and gone through some adversity and find themselves in perhaps the dark night of their soul. And so, Lord, we just pray this morning as a community… we just lift them up today… we pray for fresh light and fresh hope to be cast upon the Church. And upon those who are hopeless and those who are hurting… We pray for a bulldozer of your Spirit, Lord, to plow out of the way … every obstacle and every hopeless scenario and every ounce of depression and fear and anxiety and panic and dread and regrets… for those who’ve gone through loss in some way, we lift them up today… those who have been living in cloudy days perpetually … we clear it out in Jesus’ name.  … we pray for a fresh wind of the spirit to blow those clouds away…

Atmosphere of Churches…

We pray over the atmosphere of churches, Lord, over the atmosphere of America, Lord … we clear out the atmosphere … we make a way in Jesus’ name and we pray that you would send from heaven a new sense of hope, a new sense of what you’re doing, a new sense of renewal, a new experience of renewal … of revival, of hearts awakening … of hearts changing … of hearts being reborn … of hearts being renewed … of lives being restored and healed…

The Glory of God and Suddenly

Hallelujah… it’s opening … Yes, Lord, even beyond all reason, it’s coming… just beyond what we can see … it’s coming … it doesn’t matter what the enemy is doing… it’s coming… it’s showing up now … it’s starting to show up now … in a nation, Lord, in a family… it’s showing up… In in the White House, it’s showing up … the glory of God … in bodies and situations, it’s showing up … hope and the glory of God … show yourself … So today, today, today… the glory of God… the glory of God is coming today… it’s showing up today… it’s being poured forth today… Yes. Yes. Yes. Turn, turn those situations on their head … turn the enemy’s plans out of doors… sudden, suddenly, turnaround, a sudden change of it… a sudden taking down and a putting up … a sudden transformation… a sudden breakthrough … a shift and a transition in that … in the politics, Lord… in the government… upper, upper, upper … in the upper place…

Alignment…

alignment… today we speak alignment across our nation … alignment to our cities … alignment across the world and into Europe and Asia. And south America and Africa … in Southeast Asia… we speak alignment today… that there would be a shifting … an ordering by God in this time now… a setting up and a taking down…  stopping and a starting in some ways … up, up, up, up, up, up, up in Jesus’ name…

Pastor Ken…

We’re calling for Jesus to show up… visit us in this time, in preparation for what is to come… for the catching away of the church… bend us, bend our hearts… no more playing church… we pray for a yieldedness and devotion… we abandon ourselves to you… through that door… He’s coming thru that door… expected… He’s showing up now more and more… expect Him to show up in that situation… cometo the boardroom… to the bedroom… reveal yourself in the state rooms… in the oval office… in the judiciary branch of our government… show up… in the civil arena, leadership of cities… we pray that you would open a door and show up and show forth your glory… in the lives of those who have been hurt and broken… during covid… show up in glory… as salvation, as healing, as a song or victory… for a new day…

Nations…

in the heart of Afghanistan, even as our military pulls out… you to show up and be seen… visit those people battered by war… by so many difficulties… in Pakistan… in India… among the Muslims … that you would be seen more and more and more … that you would just show up in the middle … even as you did that one notable day as written in scripture, you just showed up in the middle of two of your disciples and they didn’t even realize it at first. And so Lord … show up, show up, Lord. We pray that you would show up in the middle… cause our hearts to burn… cause our hearts to hunger and thirst … for the rightness of God in every regard… for the justice of God… or order, for restoration, even for restitution where the enemy has stolen from the church, from our lives individually… to those who have repeatedly denied or shrugged off the Spirit of God and His promptings. So today, we just pray for a spirit of responsiveness and obedience. I just sense there are people for years and decades have put off something, who have refused something, who have been dull in their thinking… maybe even salvation. We pray that today would be the day. Today is the day they get up and respond. opened their heart. pray that prayer … they forgive and let go of that situation… help them just to respond…

Pastor Ken…

As we were praying earlier, I saw planes out to the southwest or the northwest depending on the flight pattern on the given day of MSP, I saw planes circling in a holding pattern, waiting to land. I just sensed that was you, Lord. You’re waiting to land on us in a fresh way, waiting to sit on us, waiting to come in and swoop down onto our lives and our services and into our hearts and our families and finances and church services and decision-making, and all that is to come in the days ahead. Lord, we just pray that we would be a suitable landing place that you would teach us and lead us and help us to know how to be a runway for God to come and go as He pleases … to an invitation for you to set down on us… just so much so that it would be reported, Lord, that the glory of God was so great and so powerful and mighty in gatherings in prayer meetings and services, wherever people come in the name of Jesus … that they fell to their knees, that they follow fell on their faces … that they said, “Lord, how can I take this?” But all that glory is working a work, bringing change and doing what we could not do and accomplishing all of our efforts put together in the natural could never do in seven lifetimes. Your glory will do in this hour like no technology, like no knowledge of science, like no organization can do. And you will show forth the evidence of your glory and power in us and through us in Jesus’ name. Hallelujah.

We just thank you for changes. And we pray and believe today and expect to hear good reports of transformation of lives… change of answered prayers of people transitioning from one place to another place in the glory of God… we expect to hear promotions… we expect to hear word of bodies healed of cancer … gone in a day and the doctors can’t find it… we expect to hear marriages restored, children come back to God, lives that have been saved… people who finally obeyed … and responded and yielded to God… we just put on our faith today and we just believe for that and expect that … evidences … revelation… tangible proof of the glory of God, moving through the Church and doing what we can’t do. Whew! Glory to God. We believe you for that today… we ask you for that today in the name of Jesus.
