Pastor Ray…
Good morning. What do you want to do today?
Ms. Annie…
Whatever the Holy Ghost wants to do. I think He wants us to lift up Jesus.
Pastor Ray…
Speaking of the Holy Spirit, I watched some meetings recently that Brother Hagin did I believe in 1997. They were meetings that lasted for at least two weeks in St. Louis. All the people that we are familiar with were there. Watching them you would say “Wow, these are Holy Ghost meetings.”
What I was looking for was something that I had written down several years ago but I couldn’t find it. I went through and watched some of the meetings that took place which is awesome. At one point, Brother Hagin asked the Lord “How would You define a Holy Ghost meeting?” A lot of times Jesus would appear to him in a vision. Jesus gave him three points concerning Holy Ghost meetings.
1. Where the Word of God is taught and/or preached. So, you have the Word.
2. Where the Holy Spirit is in demonstration. Where He’s leading, manifesting Himself, and where He is guiding. So, He is leading, He’s guiding, manifesting Himself in those ways—there is a demonstration of the Holy Spirit.
3. Where the needs of the people are met and the joy of the Lord is in manifestation and people are full of joy.
That gives us a little different perspective on what Holy Ghost meetings really are. The reason I just wanted to go over it was because sometimes we have our own version. We might say, “Well, that was a real Holy Ghost meeting because people were running, and jumping…” But that’s not necessarily what would happen. First, you have the Word, the basis of the Word. Then, you have the Holy Spirit demonstrating Himself by leading. You know, there is a manifestation of Him. He is leading, guiding the meetings.
We go to Sunday services, when the Word is preached or taught and when the minister is doing everything they can do to be directed and led by the Spirit and then where the people’s needs are met. If the people’s needs are met, which they will be met with the teaching of the Word, the preaching of the Word, the direction of the Holy Spirit, then the joy of the Lord will be in manifestation. It all works together. It all goes together.
Most of the services that we go to, they are Holy Ghost if you are in a Holy Ghost believing, receiving church. You know what I am saying. Weekend meetings most of the time are Holy Ghost meetings because the Word is taught. If you just take, for example, Pastor Mac, he was directed by the Holy Spirit right from the beginning to teach and preach the Word and he has never backed off of that. And then he believes to be directed; to be led by the Spirit continually. Many times while he is still teaching and preaching the Word, he goes through the congregation and lays hands on somebody or several people. That opens up opportunity for the people’s needs to be met. Then also, he calls people up to meet their needs physically, whatever they are having a problem with or whatever he gets for that service.
Holy Ghost meetings just so we know are really when we ask the Holy Spirit to have free reign. We ask, we reverence, and we welcome His presence and believe when we welcome Him, He manifests Himself.
I believe that’s a plan for prayer meetings. You don’t just always go in and ramp it out, pray in other tongues and leave. You have different manifestations of the Holy Spirit because we are connecting to heaven. We want more. We are hungry for more. We can just go over all the different weeks and months and years that we’ve been doing this: calling for revival, for the Church to wake up, for things to change and turn, Amen.

Scripture focus….
(9) [Let your] love be sincere (a real thing); hate what is evil [loathe all ungodliness, turn in horror from wickedness], but hold fast to that which is good.
(10) Love one another with brotherly affection [as members of one family], giving precedence and showing honor to one another.
(11) Never lag in zeal and in earnest endeavor; be aglow and burning with the Spirit, serving the Lord.
(12) Rejoice and exult in hope; be steadfast and patient in suffering and tribulation; be constant in prayer. Romans 12:9–12 (AMPC)
Prayed…
Thank You, Father, for the manifestation of Your precious Holy Spirit
Thank You that as members of the body, we have been joined in one body
And that there are in the body different streams, different calls, different plans
Different decisions that have to be made but we are all together in one body
You are the head – thank You, thank You, thank You
For the part and the parts that You have given unto each one of us to play
The gifts, the callings that You put in us
The plan, the plans, and the future that You have called us to!
Thank You for it, Father, thank You
We declare today that no weapon formed against us will prosper, cannot prosper, will not prosper
But we prosper in the things that we put our hands unto!
We prosper in the things that we declare are true
We prosper in our steps! We prosper in the days that are to come!
We prosper as we serve the King of kings and the Lord of all Lords
Father, Father, Father – hallelujah, precious Father
Thank You for the ministry of Your Holy Spirit
Not something that we can just make happen
But thank You that things do happen in and through and by Your Spirit
Change comes, change of direction, a change of plans, a change mentally, change!
Oh, we worship, and honor, and magnify, and glorify You
You are the King, You are our Lord!
Precious Father, Holy Spirit – thank You for the name of Jesus
The name that is above every other name
We hold that name up, lift it up, magnify the name that is above every other name!
There is no name over that name!
All power, all authority, all direction, all revelation – it’s in the name
We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and then we testify about it
We’ve overcome because You overcame!
Declaring the blood is working for us today
We lift that name, we magnify the name – lift it up!
Thank You, Father

The following prophecy was given by Kenneth E. Hagin on May 27, 2002:
I saw some things and I heard him say: We’re about to move into a dimension of the Spirit that most of you have not been before. Some have touched it briefly and ministered there. But there’ll come a wave of glory, a wave of the power. And we’re on the verge, on the edge. The gifts and callings of God are without repentance. He called you and gifted you, that is, empowered you, anointed you to minister ln certain areas.
Now the anointing will come in a stronger… and you will say and you will see for the Spirit of knowing and the Spirit of seeing shall be in a greater measure than where you’ve seen heretofore. That which has been made manifest shall be restored and shall be added unto until the greater anointing and the greater manifestations shall flow like a mighty river. And so we’re approaching that place. The question is: will you be one of them that will go, or will you be one that will by the wayside and is left alone?
As far as me, I’m walking the high plane; I’m taking the high road where the blessings abide and the power is in manifestation. So rejoice, rejoice!
It’s up to you. It’s up to you. It’s up to you. It’s up to you. As far as me and my house, we’re going. We’re on the way.
It shall be even as I’ve seen it. I cannot describe it adequately. You would not understand it if I told you no more than an Eskimo understand about a tree cause you’ve never seen one. You would not understand it. But be open to the Spirit and be ready and be yielded for the manifestation shall come and the glory shall be revealed.
Taking shape, taking form. Again and again, like climbing a hill, we’ve climbed to the top. We’ve looked over into the valley and said, “Isn’t that wonderful!” We should’ve gone on. But Instead we tarried and waited, and sometimes climbed back down the hill. But as for me, I’m entering in.
Times past, because of a lack of knowledge, we got into some of these areas of the Spirit and got scared, afraid you couldn’t get back. Enoch got over there. He didn’t get back; he went on to heaven. Well, we’re going over into the valley, full of His glory: full of His power.
Oh, and I don’t understand all I’m seeing, I don’t understand it. But we will know and we will understand and we’ll walk with it.
Now is the time, now is the day. The Spirit of knowing and the Spirit of seeing in great restoration is come. And great manifestation shall be, shall be, yes, shall be in manifestation even in a greater than what you have even seen or ever known. So be glad! Re1oice! For it is committed unto you. Now what you do with it is your responsibility.
He’s getting us ready. He’s doing his best to get us ready. Getting us ready for the days ahead, awesome days, awesome times, in the world perilous times, in the world fearful times. But in the realm of the Spirit, in the kingdom of God, awesome times! And the kingdom shall be enhanced, and the kingdom should be enlarged. And many will rise up in that day and call you blessed, because you were the light that shined in the darkness and they responded to the light and are walking in the light.
The past is gone and should be forgotten. As long as Satan can bring up the past he’ll rob you of faith and rob you of blessing. But the past, though it may be filled with failure, though may it be ordained with sin, yet it’s gone. For he washes away. His blood is efficacious. He said in His Word, I will not remember thine iniquities, I, even l, am He that bloteth out thy transgressions.
Now start anew, knowing the past is all gone. It’s all clear. You’re in right standing with God: Because you’re standing right with God, Satan has no dominion over you. You have dominion over him. So go forth to exercise your dominion. Understand this: you have dominion only in your domain. You don’t have dominion In the other man’s domain. But in your domain, your area of life, you shall reign as a king.
So what remains for us but praise. What remains for us but giving glory to his name. What remains for us but to thank Him every day the same, and walk in the Spirit. Be yielded to the Spirit. And know that you are connected to the Spirit. And He’ll guide you into all truth and He’ll show you things to come.
Give heed unto, give heed unto, give heed unto that which is said. Listen, not only with the ears of your flesh, but listen with the ears of your spirit what He’s saying to you and the revelation He’s bringing to you. Life will be different. Life will be victorious. Everything around you and about you will change and many will look upon you and say… Is that the same person? Is that the same pastor? Is that the same teacher? ls that the same preacher? He is so different. She has changed so, “Yea, the Spirit of God causes us to be changed from one image unto another. And causes us to flow from one spirit to another and from one glory unto another glory. So we rejoice! So we rejoice! So we rejoice! So we rejoice! So we rejoice! So we rejoice!
Continued praying…
We continually rejoice not in what we’ve done but in what He’s done
Not the thing we’ve made ourselves step into
But that which He by the Spirit has ordained us to step into! Hallelujah!
For there is a greater way! There is a higher plan!
And our destiny and our destinies shall be fulfilled
I take authority this morning with the blood and the name that is above every other name against every attack of the enemy
And say “You have been defeated! You are defeated! It’s over! It’s done! It was done on the Cross at Calvary when Jesus said ‘It is finished!’”
Thank You for the blood!
We plead and declare the blood over things that are impossible
Where there is no way, thank You, Father, that You make a way through Your Son’s name and by the power of Your Spirit!
So where there was no way – doors are opening, windows are opening!
New days! New ways! Hallelujah!
So how will it turn out? It will turn out right!
How is it going to change? It’s going to change by the power of the name that is above every other name
In Jesus’ name, be changed! Be rearranged! Be opened! Be shut down!
Be restored in Jesus’ name! In Jesus name – hallelujah!
So we move ahead, we step out! And by Your Spirit declare!
Walking, walking, walking and walking and walking!
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
All of it, all of them, all of that way, all of those plans, all of those ideas, all of those!
For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised! Hallelujah!
New ways – more, Father!
More and more let Your name be great! Let Your name be great through Your body!
We are declaring Your name to the nations!
Let Your name be great in all the nations!
For we are Your chosen people called by Your name!
Jesus, because You go to the Father, we go to the Father!
And we ask in the authority that is given unto us in Your name!
And we hear Your voice, Father! Things are revealed to us by Your Spirit in Your name!
So that we might know the things that are given to us! That we might take them in Your name!
Receiving glory that we might bring glory!
Father, let Your glory come through Your Church that we might bring glory to Your name!
Make us famous, Father, for doing exploits in Your name!
And let our love be without hypocrisy! Let our love be sincere
That we might hate what You hate! That we might go about doing good in Your name!
Destroying the works of the enemy with all JOY, Father!
Because we are bringing glory to Your name, hallelujah!
Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised!
Much thanksgiving redounding, Father!
That the knowledge of Your glory would flood the earth!
Flood the earth with the knowledge of Your glory as the waters cover the sea!
And it’s in Your name, hallelujah
The name of the Lord is a Strong Tower, the righteous run into and we are safe
It’s a safe tower!
Yes, Father, liberation for the Brits
To receive it, they receive it, it’s a reality in their lives
Thank You, Lord, thank You
