Annie led group in worship and prayed…
Jesus, we exalt You… You are Lord over Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota… over this United States… “united” not divided… and over all the people of this earth… Jesus is Lord… we worship You… be magnified, be glorified, be exalted… Jesus…
♪ We are Your people called by Your name… we humble ourselves and we pray… and You said You hear us… You promised that You would heal our land… we are Your people… by the blood of Jesus… by the stripes of Jesus… by the wounds of Jesus… we proclaim the blood of Jesus over Minneapolis, over St. Paul, over Minnesota… over the United States of America… over all the earth…Jesus is Lord… ♪
While we look not at the things that are seen but we look to the things which are unseen… for the things which are unseen are temporal, subject to change, passing away, but the things with are unseen are eternal… thank You, Father, Your Word is settled in heaven forever… Forever! Hallelujah! Your Word is settled… and You’ve declared the end from the beginning… and that’s how it’s going to be… Glory!
Pastor Ray…
Annie, when you were singing about America, I saw a huge flag, bigger than you could imagine and it was being waved over America. One nation under God, indivisible. And the next thing I heard was, “Impeach the impeachers!” That just came up! This is not a political meeting. But I saw the devil’s plan was to shout and shout and shout, just to get his way and plans in this country, to turn it in a way that we will not let it go. Because the scripture, “If my people,” and we’re His people. This is in 2nd Chronicles. It still works. I’m going to give you the Amplified version. “If my people who are called by my name shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of a necessity my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land.”
I have this in my Bible, “Turn from their wicked ways: stop division.” I actually wrote, division “in the church.” I’m not talking about this church. I’m talking about the body of Christ. “Stop division in the Church, in Jesus’ name.” For we are one force, we are one body. We may be different parts of the body, but we’re one body. And He is our head. Jesus is Lord over America. So then we can say He is Lord over Minneapolis/St. Paul! Right now! Today. Jesus is Lord, especially here in Minneapolis.
Prayed…
Thank You for the blood. The blood of Jesus over our city, the borders… we push back… we break and sever the plan of the enemy to disrupt what this nation should be… so we’re lifting up our country… we lift up the United States of America.
Pastor Ray continued…
Here’s what a Minnesota politician said: “I don’t care if it’s a Republican President or a Democratic President, I welcome them to my city because they’re my President.” So we do welcome him. The blood of Jesus is protecting every step today. We declare, “No weapon from the enemy formed against this event can prosper.” In Jesus’ name. Those that try to rise up, come against, will come to nothing.
Annie and I were talking and agreed that we cannot take the care of all these things that are happening. We have to watch over our words and what we say or listen to other people and what they say. I almost have this in me like a word. We can get under and take the care… When we pray, we have to take the care, but we have to use the authority given to us and declare the way it should go. All the while, keeping ourselves in a place of joy and up and not down. Just in faith, declaring what the Word says to declare. Oh yes, the Word, the Word, the Word! The written Word or the word spoken by the Spirit over years and years… thank You for Your Word, Lord…
I heard from the news that one of the event centers in downtown Minneapolis close to the Target Center said, “Thursday we’re going to give all the money that comes in to Planned Parenthood, just for spite.” So I’m going to declare over you. It doesn’t matter who it is. You can forget about the income for this day. It’s not going to go that way. For the King of kings and Lord of lords, Jesus, is Lord over our city. So we humble ourselves, but in our humility we begin to realize even more clearly the authority that we have, it’s not that we think we are somebody. It’s not our strength. But it’s the strength from heaven above. Resources, money, are coming forth daily…
Pastor Folu declared the other day that he’s keeping a record of every dime that comes his way. We should do that because we forget. It’ll encourage us to keep contending for His full plan.
There is something that I found from Brother Hagin’s book, “The Believer’s Authority.” The other day, I mentioned how when Jesus appeared to brother Hagin and was speaking with him, a little devil got in the way and started yakking so loudly that Hagin couldn’t hear what Jesus was saying. Brother Hagin wondered why Jesus wasn’t doing anything about it. Jesus was still talking to Hagin when, finally, Brother Hagin got so upset that he took authority in Jesus’ name over that devil. And it fell down and left. Jesus said to brother Hagin that He would give him four references from the Bible that says the believer is to take authority over the devil.
Excerpt From “The Believer’s Authority”
James 4:7, resist the devil and he will flee from you. the understood subject of this sentence is “you.” the believer has to have authority over the devil or the Bible wouldn’t tell him to do something about the devil. The scripture doesn’t say that the devil will flee from Jesus; it says he’ll flee from you!
Similarly, you don’t pray that Jesus will lay hands on the sick; you do it. Notice, too, that the hands are not in the Head; the hands are in the Body: “They… shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” When you lay hands on the sick you are exercising authority over the devil.
That authority is yours whether you feel like you’ve got it or not. Authority has nothing to do with feelings. But you must exercise it.
After that vision, and after Jesus gave me that verse from James, my spirit told me the word “flee” was significant. I looked it up in the dictionary and found one of the shades of meanings was “to run from as if in terror.” The devil will run from you in terror! Then I knew why the demon in my vision had begun to whimper and cry—he was terrified.
Since then I have seen other demons quake and quiver in fear as I exercised my God-given authority over them. They were not afraid of me, but of Jesus, whom I represent.
In the vision, Jesus gave me another Scripture that tells us to do something about the devil. This third reference was from 1st Peter. Peter wrote, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. Your adversary means your opponent.
This is as far as a lot of people read. They say, “Oh, the devil’s after me!” They ask for prayer so the devil won’t get them—but the devil’s already got them if they talk that way. It’s too late to pray then.
What are we going to do about him: roll over and play dead? No, thank God, notice what it says as we go on reading. The next verse reads, “Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions [tests and trials] are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.” The American Standard Version says, “your faith” instead of “the faith.” I like that better.
Jesus said to me in this vision, “Peter did not write the letter and tell Christians, ‘Now, word has come to me that God’s using our beloved brother Paul in casting out devils, and he’s sending handkerchiefs or cloths, and the diseases are departing from people, and evil spirits are going out of them, so I would suggest that you write to Paul and get a handkerchief.”
No, instead of that, he told them to do something about the devil. Why? Because they’ve got authority over him. The Spirit of God through the Apostle Peter wouldn’t tell you to do something you couldn’t do.
Pastor Ray continued…
We know where the Target Center is. It has a huge name on it. We see it with the eyes of our faith, all the people, the different things that will take place today. We take by faith that blood and we put it on the sidewalks around the Target Center. On the bike paths, and all around that event, we cover it with the blood.
When the disciples were on their way to the temple and the cripple was sitting in front begging for money, they said, “we don’t have money, but look at us. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise and be healed.” By faith, they pulled that man up and his legs and feet were healed. He began to jump and shout. With the same faith, we see it working right now. It’s preparation that’s been given over these past few days, but for today, every detail and persons of authority, we declare everything would work according to plan in Jesus’ name. Those that try to come against America and call it down, we turn it around.
We declare confusion over the enemy. They can’t get it together because they can’t get it together. Confusion. Get their wires crossed in Jesus’ name. Their phones won’t work. (tongues)
Danny, would you begin to play. Then we’ll watch in faith. Annie, I want you to sing again. I want us to look down as we’re watching over this whole situation. All the ways that people will get there, that it’ll be smooth and protected. No harm will come against the city. No! The storefronts, Nicollet Mall, Hennepin Avenue, Washington Avenue, and all around, in Jesus’ name… no, no, no! it won’t work…
Annie led group in singing in the spirit…
Pastor Ray…
We’re getting a vision for victory and breakthrough.
Simeon Prayed for America…
Father, in the name of Jesus and according to your Word, we pray for those in authority in our nation. We lift up President Donald Trump, his family, his staff, and cabinet members. Let Your Word cling to them, and let them not depart from Your plan. Strengthen them with mighty power by Your Spirit to stand against wickedness, lies, and deception. Guide President Trump’s decisions; let Your light shine upon his path and show him the path of reversal for every evil way. Continually surround him with godly men and women who impart wise counsel to him. Cause the way of the wicked to be set to confusion and come to nothing. Deliver us from the traps and snares the enemy has laid for us, and let the wicked be caught in their own devises and be brought to shame. We take authority over the plots and plans of the enemy against this nation. Let prideful and lying lips be silenced in Jesus’ name.
Slanderers will not be established in America. We pray for our congress, our supreme court, our military leaders, and our intelligence agencies. Let the wisdom that is from above reign in this nation and be constantly speaking to our leaders. We exercise the authority You have given us to tread down all the power of the enemy. We cast down and demolish imaginations and arguments that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God, and we bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. We bind spirits of strife and division, civil wars and tumults, spirits of hostility, lawlessness and blasphemy, and fires from hell that have burned in our cities.
We speak grace and peace over America. We pray and believe for the voice of truth, salvation, revival, and restoration to be proclaimed and heard across our land. Grant unto your servants everywhere that with all boldness we may speak your Word. We pray for a mighty outpouring of your Spirit with signs, wonders, and miracles. We expect the wisdom of this world that is earthly, sensual, and devilish to depart and vanish until Your mighty work in America becomes a beacon of hope for all people everywhere. We expect the voice of rejoicing to be heard in our nation for your goodness, mercy, and prosperity in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Pastor Ray…
We bow our hearts and lives and step into greater responsibilities to do what God has called us to do. To say “yes, Lord.” We just say “yes” to Him. We’re thirsty for more of Him. We believe and declare for supernatural shifting… paradigm shifts… many saw it one way and suddenly their eyes were opened or their ears were able to hear… and they received a turnaround, a paradigm shift and now see the way You see, Lord. Thank You for divine revelation for words spoken by Your Spirit. We’re hungry.
Mike, come up here. I’m going to ask Mike to pray for those over those who have tuned into through the Internet. We want to bless them today.
Mike prayed…
Father, we thank You right now for all the people watching, that we know that people will see it now and in the future. Lord, we know there are people watching for various reasons. Some might be alone. Some might be in groups. Different parts of the world. Some might be having the best time of their lives and some may be in the deepest pit. Right now, we corporately agree that everyone that is listening to this now, we remember that we are under one God, one Son and one Spirit. We are all together even though we’re separated by distance. We are one. Lord, we pray for those people who are going through things they never thought they would ever encounter. We speak God’s peace and grave over them. We stand up against every attack as we are all united. We are united with you. And we are united with you and declare that the power of the Word of God is working mightily in your life right now. Anyone who might be holding on by a thread, thank God for the thread because that’s all He needs. In fact, the Holy Spirit reminded me of the woman with the issue of blood. She reached out and touched threads on the edge of His garment because she knew that’s all it took. He said, “Someone just drew power from Me.” So, Father, we corporately draw on You, whether we feel completely full or whether we feel completely empty, Lord, that feeling has nothing to do with the power of Your Word working mightily in everyone’s life. So we send blessing. We send hope. We send peace to everyone who is watching. Father, we thank You that we have the technology to speak to somebody on the other side of the planet. And we can come to agreement with such a power of Your Word and we declare the works of the Lord will come to everyone who believes. And those people who are searching for something today, Lord, we thank You that they will have an encounter with You today. Either directly from Your Word or somebody saying something to them. You work in so many ways and we thank You that everyone watching can be encouraged today. We bless everyone that has the opportunity to join us today.
