Morning Prayer Summary for Thursday, September 24, 2020

Annie led group in worship…

Pastor Ray…

I just heard this in my spirit. I saw a picture that said, “Stay plugged into the blood.” This morning, I looked at my phone at it was half charged and it had been charging all night. I looked at my cord and it has a short. It woudl work and then it wouldn’t work. It would charge and then it wouldn’t charge. When we stay plugged into the source of our power, we can do things in Him because it’s Him. It’s His power, the anointing that works for us or in us and it works through us. I get the picture that the strength of God, the strength of heaven, when we stay connected like this every day of the week, Monday through Friday, either in here in the chapel or online, corporately when we stay plugged in, it’s almost like power cords from heaven. We stay plugged into the source of our power, and then, it just takes a moment, just a little time, but time spent connected to heaven’s ways and plans and power, it’s better than going to a natural gym.  Not that that’s bad. That is good. Natural exercise is good. But spiritually, the connection to heaven is better. It’s a better source of power.

Hallelujah. I thank You for it, Lord. I thank You for the connection… somehow You make it work that as we go to You, go to heaven together as we look up and declare Your Word, you increase strength in us to keep looking up. Our source of power is not from the world, its ways and plans, or ideas. It’s from Him. He is our source of all power. When I came into my office, I dip a double flip. The first area I opened my Bible to was like, “That’s good.” Then I flipped it again and I went to Romans 12 and 11. First Romans 11:29.

Holy Spirit, thank You for the manifestation of Your presence I sense, Miss Annie, when you were lifting that up, including the blood and the name that there was an anointing in that and it’s working for us this morning. Thank You, Holy Spirit of the living God. I pray that You fall absolutely fall fresh upon us individually and then too just like the disciples way back when they gathered in the upper room and that power source from heaven, when that fire came. They were never the same again. But they kept on being filled. They kept on getting together in one accordi and lifting up their voices and worshiping the King of Kings. Here in verse 29 it says, “For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable. It can’t be taken away. Man can’t take it away. We can’t take it away. We can choose to not operate in the call, but that would be our decision, not His. So His call for each one of us is irrevocable. He never ever withdraws them when once they are given. And He does not change His mind. That’s good, isn’t it?  He doesn’t look and see what we’re saying or doing or whatever we did. He does not do that. He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call. Hallelujah, You’re so good, Lord.

Then in 12:2, it says, “Do not…” Going all the way down through from verse 11 to 12. Twelve actually starts out “I appeal to yo brethern, do not be conformed to this world” or to this age, to the things we see in the natural. The Amplified says in parenthesis “fashioned after and adapted to its external superficial customs. But be transformed, be changed by the entire renewal of your mind by its new ideals and its new attitude. So that you may prove for yourselves what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect in His sight for you. For by the grace, the unmerited favor of God given to me I warn everyone among you not to estimate and think fo himself more highly than he ought, not to have an exaggerated opinion of his own importance, but to rate his ability with sober judgment each according to the degree of faith appropriated by God to Him.” We can say appropriated by God to us.” Hallelujah, thank You, Father. The Passion translation, verse two says it like this: “Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you,[a] but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think.” That would be a paradigm shift and it’s not just one time. It’s all the time. Keep open to the changes God has called for us to walk into for He is good and faithful and in Him we always overcome. The rest of the verse says, ” This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.” Hallelujah. We look up, we just keep looking up. People might ask, “What are you looking at?” We’re looking up toward our source of all power, His grace, and His authority. Okay, go ahead Miss Jeannie.

Jeannie shared…

So why doesn’t He change His mind? In verse 11 when it says the gifts of God are irravokable and they don’t change, because by the spirit there is no failure. Not one time. So when God makes us, when He gives us those gifts, He does not see perceived… it doesn’t even occur to Him that those things are going to fail in us and though us. It’s the enemy. It’s the flesh. It’s just carnality that would say to us “You’re going to fail.” So if you’re tempted to fail, no fear! Because it’s just carnality. That’s all it is. That’s all it is. Just look up, by the spirit, keep your eyes on Him. And with God it’s impossible not to win. Absolutely impossible. He will not change His mind on this. He will fight you for it. If you talk to Him about it, He’ll always bring you back to hope, to victory. He will always lift you up. Because it just doesn’t occur to Him that you will fail.

Pastor Ray…

That’s because we’re not going to fail. We can’t fail… in Him. Hallelujah! Down further in Romans 12:9, “let your love be a real, sincere thing.” You know that even people in the world that don’t know the Lord, if they speak to you just out of a love for you, it’s almost like it’s anointed. But for us, He’s in us and He’s working through us. So let’s just let our love be sincere. Be a real thing. But then also it says, “Hate what is evil.” Or just loathe all ungodliness. We loathe that. We hate that. That’s why sometimes you want to speak to your TV. I loathe those things. That’s ungodly. That’s unacceptable. “Turn in horror from wickedness.” Ahhh! “But hold fast to that which is good. For the Lord is good and His mercy endures forever and ever and ever. Love one another with brotherly affection as members of one family giving precedence and showing honor to one another. Never lag in zeal and in earnest endeavor. Be aglow and burning with the spirit, serving the Lord. Rejoice and exalt and hope.” We have more than just hope. We have faith knowing that the Word is working. He’s working. There are more shifts that are about to take place for us individually but there’s a greater shift coming for the Church together, the body of Christ. He’s our head and we’re the body. There are greater shifts happening for us as members of the body. Let’s stay connected. Let’s not back off, back away or separate ourselves from the body of Christ. Hallelujah! Lord, we love Your ways. Your plans. You’re good! You make us good. We don’t think of ourselves as somebody great. We humble ourselves in You and trust all the way through. New stories are being written every day concerning the call and plan of God. Sometimes we must turn the switch of faith and get that thing totally on so we are believing in the face of the adversary, in the face of deception, lies, whatever it might be that we keep our eyes heavenward and we keep our switch of faith on. In the morning. The afternoon. In the evening and at night too! Be encouraged. Rejoice and exalt in hope. Be steadfast. Be patient and suffering and tribulation, be constant in prayer, speaking to heaven. Call things that are not as though they were. And they will be.

Annie, I feel like you need to sing in tongues. Just sing out for a while in other tongues.

Annie sings in the spirit…

Jeannie…

“The Lord took hold of me and I was carried away by the spirit.” In the Amplified, it says “The hand of the Lord was upon me and He brought me out into the spirit of the Lord.” And He’s bringing the church out. He’s carrying the church away by the spirit and He’s bringing the church to a valley filled with dry bones to call those things forth. Have you noticed the dry bones keep coming up everywhere? The army is rising up. He’s bringing the church out and He’s saying “Can these bones live? Can these things that are dry and in the valley, can they live?” And how do we respond? We say what He says. We’re the church. We have His Word which is light, which is life. Life! Life! Life! The thing of dry bones is being restored today. It already started. Restoration has begun. And it’s the greatest restoration for these times today, today, today. The church will not look at this valley of dry bones and say, “There’s no way. She just won’t do it. Because she’s the church. Because she belongs to you and You brought us out.” And when you ask us, can these dead things, dry things in the valley live? We say what do you say. And then we say what you say.

Pastor Ray…

I have this on a post-it note next to Isaiah 60:1, “Arise.” My post-it note says “Get up.” Get up in the place I’ve called you to. Get up in my power and grace and the anointing will work through you like never before. When I read over here in Romans, “Never lag in zeal and earnest endeavor. Be aglow.” How do we get to be aglow? We keep ourselves plugged in and stirred up in the Holy Ghost. We keep the balance between the written Word and the power, the filling of the precious Holy Spirit. Then that reminded me of a time when we I was in a prayer meeting and maybe there was 30 or 40 people there. We’re all praying concerning a situation. But the blood works in every situation. So we’re in that room and we were praying along and I saw this picture. I got to a point where I had a choice. I was on a road and then there was a split in the road. I could go one way or I could go the other way. One way, the way I saw it was like if you were at the air port and you get on the people mover. You don’t have to move. You just move with the mover. You get on there and you don’t have to do anything. You don’t even have to walk. You go with the mover. The other way was not so smooth. The other way had the power of the Holy Ghost. So to me it was a picture of the church. We could lay back, sit back and just… we could just watch things go by. We wouldn’t have to participate. Just go along. But it wasn’t the right way. I knew it right away. That way was not the right way. It was an easy path. The other way was empowered by the Holy Ghost. Yes, there are sometimes hinderances that try to get in the way of what that way will be like, but every time we over come every hindrance by the power of the Holy Spirit, by the blood of the lamb and the name of Jesus. It’s not automatic, but it’s by us staying tuned up and speaking to ourselves and saying, “Come on, get up. Rise up. Be who you are, who you were created to be.” It’s like Isaiah chapter 60, arise. Here in the Amplified in parenthesis it says, “Arise from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you.” Have you ever just wanted to lay down? Rise to a new life! That’s a continual thing. Keep on rising to a better life, a new life in Him. Then it goes on to say, “Shine.” So, first of all, Get up! Rise up. Second of all, shine! Or as it says, “Be aglow.” Rise, shine, be radiant with the glory of the Lord. That’s on that other road. That’s the road He’s called us to walk. Shine or be radiant with the glory of the Lord for your light has come and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you and me.

Can you sing something concerning that?

Annie began to sing “Arise, Shine for thy light has come…”

Pastor Ray…

Isaiah 59 is one of my favorite verses. Isa. 59:19, “So [as the result of the Messiah’s intervention]…” He intervened. I love that. As a result, “they shall [reverently] fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him and put him to flight [for He will come like a rushing stream which the breath of the Lord drives].” It’s moving. It’s shaking things off. It’s turning things around. It’s making things whole that were busted up and broken, no man could restore or fix it. But in the name of Jesus, the standard of the Holy Spirit will drive out the enemy, put him away. He’s defeated in Jesus’ name. And that will come like a mighty rushing stream that the Lord will drive. Hahahaha! So we’ll not be shaken up or in a place of fear. But we’ll remain strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. It’s His strength in us and working for us. That’s the glory road, the road we want to stay on and nations shall come to your light Lord. You said it here in chapter 60:3, “And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” We just watch with the eyes of our faith.

It’s a process. Sometimes it’s us that are processing it, but always there’s a process of increase happening because of you. Steady. So we’ll stay steady. Doors, avenues, roadways, paths covered in the blood of the Lamb. For the Church has risen and the glory of the Lord is upon and covers the earth. The whole earth will be filled with the glory of the Lord. I have a prophecy that I want to read. It’s short, but it pertains to today. It came through Kenneth Copeland January 10, 2016. That’s way out before the election back then. Pastor George said don’t get stressed or in fear over what may or may not happen. But stay in faith. That was his word.

Kenneth Copeland in 1/10/16.

I remind you again, don’t be impressed by what you see or hear on the news media. Pay little attention to anything they say. Because unless they are in tune with Me, they don’t know anything. They see things for the way they want to see them and they attempt to create things instead of reporting things. They try to create situations that will give them something to report. They care little to nothing about what you do or see or hear, but I do. I care what you do, what you hear, what you see. And if you walk with Me I will show you things to come. I’ll show you news before it happens. The way it happens right now in the coming election is a very poor representation of what actually is going to be the outcome. But rest assured, this is our assurance. Rest assured, I know what I’m doing, saith the Lord. And what is happening in our favor and I might add, saith God, listen to this for the present election is not the only election that is coming. There are senate seats involved, there are governorships involved. There are things other than just President and Vice President of the United States which in some cases are equally important. So be in prayer. Stand with Me. I’m standing with you, saith the Lord. And we’ll do this thing together and it will be in our favor of the Gospel and it will be in the favor of the kingdom of God. And it will be in the favor of our prosperity. Now there are things coming this year that you’ll need to prepare for. You need to stand on your faith. Don’t let the Devil pull you aside because there are some things coming on a national scene and there are some things coming that are going to get worse before they get better. But ha, ha, ha… All is well in the kingdom. All is well in the kingdom and those that walk in faith and those that walk in love. Everything is going to be alright.
