Pastor Ray…
Friend forever, the name that is above every other name, can’t name any other name; there is no name that’s above that name, JESUS, Lord of all lords, King of all kings, Way maker, Helper.
Holy Spirit, thank You for Your presence this morning. With all of our hearts, we yield to You, what You want to say, what You want to do, hallelujah!
Holy Spirit of the Living God, Father God, Holy Spirit, power of the blood given unto us shed by Jesus, the Son! Thank You for the blood.
We lift our eyes up! We look up! We keep looking up. Every day we look up to where all of our help has come from.
Again, thank You, Jesus. What was done on that Cross, all the way through You did what the Father told You to do. You said what the Father told You to say. Thank You. We want to be like You, and we know that we are Your hands, Your feet, Your mouthpiece on this earth in these days.
Thank You, Holy Spirit, for making us so strong to declare what You’ve said especially in the written Word and then words spoken by Your Spirit through prophets over years and years and years. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You. You are our strength, our help.
Ms. Annie led us singing You Are My Strength
You mean everything to us, trust in You, yield our hearts to You, lift up Your name, magnify Your Word, Your Words, hallelujah.
We magnify You, Lord. We lift You up. Hallelujah.
Ms. Annie led us singing Lord, We Magnify You
Pastor Ray…
Hallelujah. We are not alone. We have not been left alone. We’re not locked up and alone. We are free in You oh, Lord. So, good. So faithful. Hallelujah.
Sometimes the world will put together videos that are positive. They don’t know it but they are based on what the Word says. And in these days, a lot of different videos online are beginning to just encourage people. Maybe they show something that was operating, and it’s not operating now. Or they will speak some encouraging words. I heard the president say, “There is light at the end of the tunnel.”
There is light. That’s for sure and it is a delight! And any good words that we hear or that we speak, they make a difference. If as believers we’re down, we can’t lift anyone else up. So, it’s up to us to stay up in Him. That’s where all of our help comes from.
I never thought I would say this but I miss the traffic… on a funny note. There is no one around. So, when I come to church, I hardly have to wait at a stop signal. When I got in this morning I sat down at my desk. I have some extremely powerful hand cleaner on my desk. I went to use it on my hands but it shot onto my clothes. So I am cleansed not just by the blood this morning but I am cleansed by hand cleaners on my clothes! Ha, ha, ha! Hallelujah!
Thank God for the blood. Once again I am just so glad for the message Pastor Mac had on Easter about the blood. In the natural, what it does for us in our bodies and then focusing over on the spirit side and what that blood did for us, is doing for us, that blood that was shed on the Cross! Hallelujah!
Using our faith in the blood… We’ve said it before. We cannot make too much of the precious blood. We can’t be so fanatical that people say we are over the top with it. We can’t be! everything is in the blood.
The following is a confession led by Pastor Ray:
“I am a new creature in Christ: old things have passed away, behold, all things are new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV
It’s a new day! It’s a good day! It’s a better day! It’s getting better and better and better! There is so much light at the end of the tunnel, it’s consuming the whole earth! It’s the light from heaven. The power of the Holy Spirit in action all over the globe!
“I am dead to sin and alive unto righteousness.” Romans 6: 11 KJV
No weapon that is formed against me shall prosper, but every tongue that rises against me in judgment, I shall show to be in the wrong.
Isaiah 54: 1 7
“I prosper in everything I put my hand to. I have prosperity in all areas of my life—spiritually, financially, mentally, and socially.” Jeremiah 29:11
“I don’t speak negative things!” Ephesians 4:29
That is true! We watch over our words that we speak.
Thank You for Your presence, Holy Spirit. You’re restoring things that were split up. You’re restoring things that were broken up. You’re restoring things that needed to be made whole. In these days, in this month, in this week – restoration ways and days given by the power of Your Spirit, Oh, thank You, Lord.

“I am slow to speak, quick to hear, and slow to anger.” James 1:19
“I am a doer of the Word. I meditate on the Word all the day long.” James 1:22; Psalm 1:2
Can we do that? Yes! I met a pastor several years ago. This was the key to his ministry, to be a doer of the Word. The license plate of his car read “Doer.” My sons and I did some work for him. His church was in St. Louis, Missouri. And on the front, of course, we put “Be a doer of the Word.” It was the Word, the Word, the Word, the Word. Hallelujah! Thank You for the Word.
It is one thing to know the Word. It is another thing to do the Word. Amen.

“I don’t have a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7
“I do not fear. I am not guilty.” 1 John 4:18; Romans 8:1
How can we say that? Because of the blood we’ve been cleansed; all sin has been removed forever. Therefore, say it again, “I am not guilty.”
“I walk in the spirit all of the time.” Galatians 5:16

“I do not hate or walk in unforgiveness.” 1 John 2:11; Ephesians 4:32
“Work is good. I enjoy work!” Ecclesiastes 5:19
For people who are not able to work, you better believe this is a good confession. Work is good! I enjoy work! Freedom is good! I enjoy freedom! Victory is good! I enjoy victory! I enjoy victories in Jesus’ name (ha, ha, ha) hallelujah.
“I am creative because the Holy Spirit lives in me.” John 14:26; 1 Corinthians 6:19

You know “I’m so great. I’m so wonderful…” Ms. Annie and I have a deal. We’re nothing. But in Him, we are something because it’s Him working through us, hallelujah!

“All that I own is paid for. I owe no man anything except to love him in Christ.” Romans 13:8
Pastor Ray…
Hallelujah! Glory! Hallelujah! Magnify Your precious holy Word! We cannot help but to do what You’ve called us to do because You’ve given us the power and anointing! Let’s say it again: “I am anointed. The Holy Spirit is working through me. I am above and not beneath. I am the head and not the tail. Old days are over. Devil is defeated. I’m walking in victory. Lack has to go. Sickness already left! Hallelujah!!”
Things that were closed up are beginning to open up! I am speaking about our country now. Things that were closed or shut down, are beginning to open up! And open up! And open up! But were not going back, we’re moving ahead and things will be better than they were back there! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Glory! Glory! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Thank You, Father.
We’re just getting our eyes tuned into the future which is bright. Do you know what I am saying? Just looking at things, things that were taking place… We were able to go wherever we wanted to go. Those things we loved to do, restaurants, work… Father, we thank You that now we’ll begin as a nation to turn on the economy again.
We pray over President Trump this morning for that decision, like he said “it’s the biggest decision that he’ll ever make in his life.” That he will make the right decision at the right time to do the right thing at the right time. We thank You. We see America rising back up. We see the economy turning around from where it is right now! Thank You for a swift turn around in Jesus’ name.
Thank You for the anointing. It breaks yokes, chains, bondages.. The Anointing!
We lift up our president. We pray over him. Pray peace of God that passes all understanding. We thank You, Father, that he has clarity, that he’ll make the right decisions now in these days for such a time as this. Thank You. Thank You for the office that he stands in, President of United States of America. We declare more and more unity in this nation, declare that we are moving more in a place of unity. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! The Churches will be filled again. Oh, the assembly! The assemblies! The gathering together in one accord! Hallelujah! Oh, we see these things beginning to unfold in Jesus’ name.
Many new ideas that we just enter into in these days and the weeks past will show us different ways to do things than we did before. But we are entering into greater days ahead! Hallelujah! The Church is not done. The Church is not finished! The Church is rising up and taking its place in these days never to go back in Jesus’ name.
Boldness, courage…. Thank You, Father. Thank You, Lord.
Seems like we should sing something else now… We are not wasting time when we are lifting Him up. When we’re lifting and worshiping and praising Him, we are being lifted up to do what He has called us to do.
We’ve been called… Oh thank You, Lord. We’ve been called to a time such as this for the Church to rise up and be who the Church was meant to be. Hallelujah. Hallelujah, Lord. We purpose to take our place, to fulfill our race, like we said yesterday, to keep moving ahead, praying out front, praying about the days and the weeks and the months to come. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Ms. Annie led us singing You are Worthy of It All
Pastor Ray…
For protection, of course, I am just going to read a few verses from Psalm 91 out of the Amplified Version.
1. He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand].
That’s us if we choose to dwell in the secret place of the Most High and we do with all of our hearts. By faith we enter again into that most secret place of the Most High. Thank You. We’re under that shadow of the Almighty covered, protected. Thank You for it Lord
2. I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust!
We trust You, Lord. We trust Your ways. We trust Your plan and your Words. We trust You in these days. We trust You for tomorrow’s days and ways and plans. Thank You. Thank You. We put all of our trust, humble ourselves. Thank You. We trust You, trust in You.
3. For [then] He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.
4. [Then] He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings shall you trust and find refuge; His truth and His faithfulness are a shield and a buckler.
5. You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of the wicked) that flies by day,
6. Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday.
7. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you.
8. Only a spectator shall you be [yourself inaccessible in the secret place of the Most High] as you witness the reward of the wicked.
9. Because you have made the Lord your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,
10. There shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent.
11. For He will give His angels [especial] charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways [of obedience and service].
12. They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13. You shall tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent shall you trample underfoot.
14. Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name [has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness—trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never].
15. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
16. With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation.
The [uncompromisingly] righteous shall flourish like the palm tree [be long-lived, stately, upright, useful, and fruitful]; they shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic, stable, durable, and incorruptible]. Psalm 92:12 (AMPC)
Like we declared, what we put our hands unto, it shall continually prosper. Oh, thank You, Lord.
13. Planted in the house of the Lord, they shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14. [Growing in grace] they shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap [of spiritual vitality] and [rich in the] verdure [of trust, love, and contentment].
15. [They are living memorials] to show that the Lord is upright and faithful to His promises; He is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. Psalm 92:13–15 (AMPC)
For the Lord is good and His mercies endure forever. Today, new mercies. Thank You, Lord.
Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to Him with songs of praise! Psalm 95:2 (AMPC)
Thank You, Father. We go back in our hearts, our minds, our thoughts, and we give You thanks. You were there then. You were there over there. You worked on our behalf. You made a way where there was no way. You cleared some things out. You cleaned all of us up. You worked Your will and Your plan in our lives! Hallelujah!
So we can make a joyful noise! Hallelujah! A joyful noise today! Hallelujah! Glory to God! Ha, Ha, Ha!
Songs of praise, songs of deliverance, songs of freedom and delivery today!
3. For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
4. In His hand are the deep places of the earth; the heights and strength of the hills are His also.
5. The sea is His, for He made it; and His hands formed the dry land.
6. O come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker [in reverent praise and supplication].
7. For He is our God and we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand. Today, if you will hear His voice,
8. Harden not your hearts… Psalm 95:3–8a (AMPC)
Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all the peoples. Psalm 96:3 (AMPC)
Just think about it. All over the whole earth covered in the glory of God. It’s Your glory, Lord. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. We declare Your glory among the nations. We declare the God upon the earth, all over the earth. Hallelujah! Days of glory, days of deliverance, and freedom. Hallelujah. Oh, hallelujah.
4. For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised; He is to be reverently feared and worshiped above all [so-called] gods.
5. For all the gods of the nations are [lifeless] idols, but the Lord made the heavens.
6. Honor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
7. Ascribe to the Lord, O you families of the peoples, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. Psalm 96:4-7 (AMPC)
The following is a prayer for our nation by Pastor Lynne Hammond:
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 do believe it. There is one thing I thought we should pray over this morning. There is a new group of leaders that President Trump has picked to come up with a plan to open America back up.
While we were praying, I just saw the President with ears to hear what was being spoken unto Him that would be the right way to go, that he would have ears to hear just the right thing and be able to decipher that and know how and when and where. So, we pray this morning in a prayer of agreement. All of you tuning in, we agree together that these men and women will be given insight from heaven. It will be something we will look back on and say, “Thank God for the leadership of the Holy Spirit!”
Thank You, Father, for power from heaven to work in these meeting to be coming up. We pray for revelation, for wisdom, for great understanding.
And then, too, over on the other hand, we pray for President Trump’s physical body, for absolute total strength from the top of his head to the very soles of his feet. Give him rest in You, help from heaven, and those ears, once again, to hear exactly what You’re saying and how to do it. Step by step, our nation will move up and up and up and over into greater days, greater ways, clearer insight about the ways we should be and should have been. We thank You for it. We give it to you, all of the honor and all of the glory and the praise. Thank You for it in Jesus’ name.
I wanted to just end with something I know to be true. In our Chapel Prayer and in these times together, we are doing the absolute best that we can do to follow our hearts, be led by the Spirit. I can speak on behalf of Ms. Annie or whoever is ministering. We’ll never get over in a religious way and just get through it but be we will be led by the Spirit and do what He says to do.
So, I thank You this morning for the anointing out over the Internet. Thank You for needs being met, finances, increase, prosperity of every kind: spirit, soul, and body in Jesus’ name. Thank You for tuning in this morning. I appreciate it.
