Morning Prayer Summary for Thursday, November 08, 2018

Mary led group in worship…

♪ Live big in us today… take complete control, Lord… have Your way in us today… as we yield to You, have Your way in us… You are the living water… take control, flow through us… have Your way… as we yield to You today… have Your way… ♪

Pastor Ray…

We do exactly that. We yield to the Holy Spirit. Have Your way. Say what You want to say. We humble ourselves before You, that we might pray not from what we think, not out of our brains, but that we might be into our hearts, our spirits and pray out of there what needs to take place here today and tomorrow… All the steps out ahead, directed just like Jesus was, and led by the power of the Holy Spirit… that’s the way He knew… there was money to be had in the mouth of a fish… led by the Spirit, we believe to be directed and led by the Holy Spirit… today… thank You for Your manifested presence of glory… the weight of Your glory… we exalt You and magnify You, we glorify You…

I want to go through 1st Timothy 2. I want to read it in light of the election on Tuesday, even though maybe we didn’t agree with the way some things went, we still have clarity in the Word. “First of all, then, I admonish and urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men, 2 For kings and all who are in positions of authority or high responsibility, that [outwardly] we may pass a quiet and undisturbed life [and inwardly] a peaceable one in all godliness and reverence and seriousness in every way. 3 For such [praying] is good and right, and [it is] pleasing and acceptable to God our Savior, 4 Who wishes all men to be saved and [increasingly] to perceive and recognize and discern and know precisely and correctly the [divine] Truth. 5 For there [is only] one God, and [only] one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus …” Verse 8, “I desire therefore that in every place men should pray, without anger or quarreling or resentment or doubt [in their minds], lifting up holy hands” (Amp.).

The desire of the Father is that we pray all the time, every place, no anger or quarreling, no resentment, no doubt, and lifting up holy hands. Holy because of the blood of the Lamb! We can see now in America more clearly than ever, we need revival and we have to have that outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Fear, deception, thoughts not line up especially with what the Word says… if we can see the move of the Holy Spirit coming across our country, state to state, so many things have been declared here in Minnesota, no wonder the Devil is ramped up. There are prophecies declared that there will be revival that will bust out here in Minnesota up on the northern part in the area where the Mississippi and 35W meet. Do we believe it? We have to keep pressing and contending. Michelle Bachman said to stay on the offense. Stay on the Word and declare what it says.

Right along the same lines, I wrote this yesterday. “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men.” I like it because it says “supplications, prayers, intercessions and the giving of thanks be made for all men.” That’s what we’re going to do today one more time. I like what brother Hagin said when there was trouble happening in this nation, Watergate. The Lord spoke to brother Hagin and said, “Whatever happens in this nation happens because the Church allowed it.” That doesn’t mean we crawl under the rock of condemnation. We just repent and move on. Because if there is anyone in here that thinks we couldn’t have done more, I got news for you. There’s always more. God doesn’t just stop and say, “Okay, you’ve said enough. You’ve had enough. You’ve done enough.” Because He’s bigger. I like what Andrew Murray said. “The man who mobilizes the Christians to pray will make the greatest contribution to world evangelism in history.” That’s because the command has a promise. That if you do that, “who will have all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of truth and that we could live a quiet and peaceful life.” That’s one reason why all men pray. We’ve seen in the last couple of years, we’ve seen tremendous change here. More households have peace. That was a promise to us. If we would pray for those in authority, there’s more peace in the nation because more families have more working people, having greater income. There’s a lot of changes that most of the media doesn’t talk about. But if you dig a little bit and you have your ears open, you’ll know that God is moving. So we still have the command to pray even though we’re so grateful for those changes. I like what Billye said concerning the Lord’s direction to her to start Prayer Mountain which applies to the whole church. We’re to pray for or in the plans of God. And we’re to stop the strategies of the Devil. Billye also said something that comes from the “Authority of the Believer” book by McMillian. It says the greatest weapon we can wield against the darkness arrayed against this nation is our God-given authority over the kingdom of darkness. To triumph over the darkness assigned against our nation, the body of Christ can and must exercise her authority over them. This is so important that I’m borrowing heavily from my book, “How You Can Pray in the End of Days.” In that book, she quoted McMillian’s book, “Authority of the Believer.” John McMillian’s book contains spiritual treasures that we bought the rights to publish. The powerful message says this in the preface. “The rapidly approaching end of the age is witnessing a tremendous increase in the activity of the powers of darkness. To meet the situation, the Church of Christ needs a new conception of prayer. The urgent call is for men and women, wholly yielded to the Lord whose eyes have been enlightened to see the ministry in the heavenlies, to which they have been called. Such believers may in union with the great head of the body exercise an authority to which the powers of the air must give place whenever challenged.” McMillian departed earth in 1956. How much greater now is the increase of the activities of the powers of darkness. This increase is primarily due to the fact that Satan sees his time as short and he is struggling to survive. Rev. 12:12. He well knows the body of Christ has authority over him that he must obey. Our challenge is to get the body of Christ to awaken to it and exercise it. This awakening is a vital part of our knowing, an awakening to God that will save America. We know that since 2008, we’ve been aware of the word of the Lord delivered to Billye. One thing will save America and it’s not the election. It wasn’t back then and it isn’t today. It is an awakening to God. One thing will avail for Israel and the nations. It is an awakening to God. Again, borrowing from Billye’s book, she found a definition from the book “Ireland’s Lost Heritage” about awakening. “A case could be made for saying that a revival could be described as a visitation of God’s Spirit upon God’s people. We need that. But an awakening as a time of such intense visitation that both the Christian and the non-Christian communities are affected. Revivals alter the lives of individuals. Awakenings alter the worldview of a whole people or culture.

So after the elections we have new people in positions of authority. But God hasn’t changed. The command to pray hasn’t changed. His arm is not shortened and all things are still possible. (Isa. 59:1)

Prayed…
