Morning Chapel Prayer Playlist
Pastor Ken…
Well, good morning everyone. Good to see you in the chapel here. Good to see you guys in the chat online.
We want to stand with you if you have a prayer request or need…
I want to just emphasize and punctuate this, that we stand with you if you have a prayer request or a need, whether you’re online or in this chapel. As I read yesterday from E.W. Kenyon, we ought not to be staggering individually under the weight of the things that we all face at different times in our lives and journeys. We ought to hold one another up, stand with one another. Don’t be afraid to reach out. It is as spiritual to ask for help, to ask for prayer as it is to receive and to give and supply. So be readily willing, humble… I mean, it’s a spiritual habit to humble yourself. The Bible teaches us, you and I must humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God.
God shows up when you humble yourself…
And from a young age, I learned that if I’ll humbled myself, not just when I need help, but just in general… Oh my goodness, it’s amazing what God will do and how He’ll show up. And so I encourage us as a prayer movement family to, if you’re thinking of somebody to lift them up, mention them by name. The Apostle Paul writes in the New Testament that he simply mentions certain individuals by name, that that alone is a prayer and effective in bringing help to that person.
We’re called to be in community with the Father and with one another…
We are not called to go it alone; we’re called to be in connection and in community with the Father, of course, but one another as well. And one of the most powerful ways we can do that, especially in this unprecedented end time hour is through prayer and through community. So online, in the chapel, let us know how we can be praying for one another.
If you think of someone, as you go throughout the day, be determined to lift them up, to pray for them, to mention them by name. And if God gives you further utterance in the spirit or in your understanding, then articulate that. Pray that out.
They’re all different forms of prayer…
And oftentimes we pray in the spirit. That’s good and we should, but sometimes the Lord will give you a sense that you need to bind something, loose something. Pray for a spirit of wisdom. Pray one of the Pauline prayers over them. Decree some things. There are different levers or implements, if you will, weaponry that God has endowed us with. And as we’ve been praying about, God is endeavoring no matter where you’re at in your prayer journey, to level us up in our skillfulness, in the use of our words and our authority, in the name of Jesus and the blood of Jesus, the prayer of faith, the Pauline prayers, prayer of consecration, prayer of humbling yourself, the prayer of worship.
Worship is highly effective at releasing the storehouses of heaven…
Do you know the prayer of worship is highly effective at releasing the storehouses of heaven into your life. The more you worship Him and lift Him up, the more it opens up a divine, heavenly flow of resource and sustenance—emotionally, spiritually, financially. God has already gone ahead of you and me and He’s paved a way. That’s why when we pray often, there’s joy. We may start to laugh and maybe have a smile on my face, because in the end, we win. In fact, we’ve already won! We pray from a place of victory. You do get to pray and do what you do today from a place of victory. You’ve not simply been redeemed from something; you’ve been redeemed unto something. And that something is the glorious goodness of God in all its arraignment. The goodness of God, not only just in forgiveness and the eternity in heaven, but also all that a family lineage in God and in Jesus brings authority, the right to the use of the family name—Jesus. And that name, it’s very clear everything in heaven and on earth (and under the earth might I add) must respond and obey and bow. And you get to use that name! If you know nothing else about prayer, use the name of Jesus… in your worship… in your moments of uncertainty.
And so there’s so much that’s been set to the credit of our account. I pray for you wherever you are in the UK or in Europe or in Asia here in the United States or in one of the islands, whatever the case is. I pray for you today that a spirit of wisdom would be granted to you that the eyes of your understanding and your heart would be flooded, in fact, inundated with fresh insights and understanding for you spiritually to grab hold of more.
God wants to awaken us…
God is wanting to awaken us now to a fuller reality and realization and audit… I’ll use that word… of what exactly you possess now. If it’s true, you’re living from a place of victory today. No matter what happens, you stand from a place of victory. You are in God’s good graces. You are postured in a place of His favor. And even if things are going wrong or if everything doesn’t go right today, just keep doing the right thing. Just keep planting seeds into your heart of prayer and the Word and keep declaring life and increase and hope and light over your future, over your household.
With your words, you shape the atmosphere of your life…
You are shaping the atmosphere of your home… of your church… of your children and grandchildren’s lives with the articulation of your voice. Your voice calls for things. Your voice makes a way. The Bible says there was a voice in the wilderness declaring “make way for the coming of the Lord.” There was a voice on the Sea of Galilee some 2,000 years ago that spoke out in no uncertain terms, and the winds and the waves of that mighty body of water responded to the voice of almighty God. And they ceased, those wind in those waves.
Well, guess what?
You’re in Christ and He’s in you. You’re one! Jesus prayed in the gospel of John, chapter 17, “Lord, I pray that they would be one with me even as I’m one with you.” Glory to God! You go with God. You’re not just chasing after Him. He’s with you. You’re with Him. And wherever you go, He goes. So of course, your words carry weight. Why, of course, your words have an effect and make a difference in the spirit dimension and shift things.
Make no mistake about that. Things may not change in the natural or according to your natural eyeballs today. But if you will pray and you’ll stay on that course to seek Him and know Him and use your voice strategically as the Spirit inspires you, as the Word teaches you, then it will have an effect in the spirit dimension. And that effect will show up in your natural experience of life in just a matter of time. And I suppose that’s why the Bible says don’t grow weary in well-doing. That includes in praying and speaking life. And choosing to stand and journey by faith rather than by sight. Because in due season, you will reap a harvest. The harvest has been sent.
News report!
Let me announce something here. News report! The harvest and the goodness of God and the plan of God and the blessing and the beauty that He intends for you was prepared and envisioned in the mind of God even before you were born. God breathed you out with a vision and a plan and goodness already in mind; that was gleaming in His eye when He breathed you out into your mother’s womb. And so why, of course, even if you make a misstep or fail even a thousand times, God’s factored that in. And guess what? He intends for it all to work out just fine. In fact, really good for you.
I wanted to read a couple verses to you that I want to pray over you, your family, your church, your ministry, your business, your situation and circumstances right now.
Romans 1:8…
“First I thank you, Father, through the Lord Jesus Christ, for all of these for whom I pray.”
Philippians 1:2–6…
I pray this right now over this prayer movement family grace, favor, and blessing and a heart of peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I speak to each one of these precious ones that I’m standing in the gap for, whether it be online or in this chapel, Lord, or watching this later at another time. I thank God, as I remember them in prayer. In every prayer I pray, and entreaty and petition I make for them is with joy and delight. I thank you, Lord, for their fellowship, cooperation, contribution, and partnership in advancing the Gospel. I am convinced and sure of this very thing that you, Lord, who began a good work in them, will continue that good work until the day of the Lord Jesus, right up until the time of His return, developing that good work and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in Christ. That’s my prayer for you and yours today.
Philippians 4:6–7…
I pray, Lord, that they do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in everything, in every circumstance, in every prayer and petition, Lord, I continue with thanksgiving to make known unto you. God the Father, I pray for peace for these, Lord, that tranquil state of the soul assured of its salvation in Christ. That peace which transcends all understanding. Lord, I pray that it shall garrison and mount guard over their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Lord, I give you thanks who has qualified and made us all fit to share in the portion, which is the inheritance [which I referred to earlier] of the saints in light. You are the saints in light.
Thank you, Father, for delivering us and drawing us out of the control and dominion of darkness. I pray that specifically over you this morning. If you’ve experienced a touch of death or darkness or whatever, deception, then I speak release from that. We agree now for the severing of all assignments and demonically inspired attacks, bodily, financially, relationally, emotionally, mentally, in your home, in your business, in your calling today. We command and commission the blood of Jesus to sever that assignment.
Devil, take your hands off of the sons and daughters of the most high God, and we command you to do it now in Jesus’ name!
And we just speak grace and supernatural supply and healing and encouragement and help. We pray, Lord, this morning all across this family, online and in this chapel for people to experience connections just like there are electrical connections, that there will be a divine anointing connection in hearts and minds and callings in families and ministries today… connecting now specifically to people’s courage and calling and the grace and outflow of your goodness that you intend for them to experience in Jesus’ name.
And so thank you, Father, for delivering us out of the controlled dominion of darkness and transferring us into the kingdom of your dear Son, in whom we have redemption through His blood, which means the forgiveness of our sins.
Somebody needs to receive that this morning…
You’ve been forgiven of all your sins. You don’t have to feel shame. You don’t have to constantly drag around feeling like you are the lowest form of whatever because of what you’ve done or where you’ve messed up or where you missed it. No! You are forgiven. The blood of Jesus and the Word of God declares throughout all of creation that the sons and daughters of the most high God are forgiven. You have been made righteous. In other words, you are right as you stand because of the work of Jesus and the work of the cross.
The Bible says we are justified. What does that mean? It means you stand before God, just as if you had never sinned or messed up or made a mistake, and just as if you had always obeyed because you rest in and you have received the perfection that Jesus exhibited and lived out Himself.
Prophecy given at the beginning of the year…
I have so many things stirring around in me this morning, but I just want to say this. It’s a prophecy that was given at the beginning of the year. And I actually was drawn to it because I was reminded that to kind of say this, that as we navigate remainder of 2023 as we go into 2024, don’t be surprised if the unprecedented chaos that is swirling in the world continues or even grows worse. Jesus Himself warned us that there would be adversity and there would be turmoil, and there would be challenges. But He said, “But be of good cheer for I’ve overcome that.”
And guess what? He deposited the treasure checks of His victory in us and we get to take advantage of that. So what I wanted to say is don’t be surprised if there are two parallel tracks. In fact, we see it now going into the remainder of 2023 into 2024 and beyond. There’ll be two parallel tracks. One will be turmoil and chaos and craziness. And as brother Kenneth Hagin prophesied back in 1967, a continuation of what he called atheistic communism would take over specifically America in some ways. Now we can stay that or change that and we are through prayer. But he prophesied that would happen if the church didn’t take its place. And we’ve seen that to a degree.
Prophecy in ’67…
But at the same time, brother Hagin saw … This is a different prophecy. But way back in 67… and this seemed really bizarre when he prophesied this in 67. And it’s being talked about and gone viral and a lot of different really well-known people, including secular people who’ve drawn attention to that 1967 prophecy by Kenneth Hagin, where he saw two tracks where America was going down not such a good track in the secular arena. But at the same time, he saw believers in the church on fire. He thought, at first, they were on fire because maybe of a nuclear attack or something, but then he looked closer and he saw it was the fire of God. That they were the lit-up ones.
And then another very well-known woman who’s a prophet shared at the beginning of the year, the same kind of idea that there would be blessing and turmoil together. So don’t look to the world, don’t look to the right or to the left to be informed as to how it’s to go for you and yours, your church, your community. Once again, we have been commissioned with a Great Commission. And that starts in our place of prayer. That starts by answering the call to contend and stand up in the messiness of what’s going on in the world and saying, “Lord, that ought not be so. But instead this…”
Look at the early church. The rulers at the time were extremely unscrupulous and ungodly. Yet the church prospered and thrived and grew and spread in ways that we can’t even fathom today. Despite even persecution, including martyrdom. Yet the church grew and thrived and advanced.
The watchmen must get on the wall…
And this one prophecy said that there are warnings of new attacks in Europe and the US at the beginning of the year. And the prophetess says the watchmen must get on the wall. Many prophets have focused on Haggai chapter 2:6–8. As God shakes nations and releases the wealth of nations, the whole economic system of the world is in a reset. God is warning that Satan will take advantage of this reset to persecute the church economically. The spirit of antichrist has been loosed on a level we have never seen as we are marching into the end time hours. We are in the midst of a global meltdown of nations.
Jeremiah 1:10 states, “It is well.” So there’s that parallel right there. It is well for you and I. It is well, but we must get into our arc of relationship, into our place of prayer. We must operate and live and function and be as God has instructed us to do so.
It goes on to say, “It is a time of tearing down, and then there will be a time of building up. Great exposure of corruption…” We’re already seeing this, by the way. “…will take place across the earth during this global reset. Man thinks that he is resetting the nations, but God has an overarching plan that He is working out behind the scenes.”
Come on! He’s got an overarching plan. He is working out the one I talked about before you were born that He prepared. He’s working out behind the scenes in your life for your children. Don’t give up! Stay in there where you are believing God for certain things, where you’ve been praying. Keep yourself encouraged. Keep yourself built up in the promises of scriptures.
An intercessor is one who stands between a problem and a promise. But you got to take your information and your inspiration from the promise so that you can attack the problem until the problem is transformed into the reflection of the promise.
That’s what your words do. So don’t relent in sowing into the spirit dimension, sowing into your own spirit with your own words. You are the preacher, not me! Not any of your favorite TV preachers. You are the preacher that you need to hear most of. You need to be talking to yourself like King David. You are the prophet of your own life, your own future. Your words are sowing. Your words are planting.
King David learned the importance of being your own best cheerleader, I like to say. He would speak to his own soul. Y’all know that passage in the book of Psalms. “Why are you downcast, oh my soul? I shall put my hope in God. He is my expectation. He is my strong tower and my great reward.”
Come on now! Yeah. Stir it up. Stir it up. Stay stirred up! It’s not church as usual anymore, if you haven’t noticed. It’s not life as usual. People are freaking out on planes. Devils are manifesting, right? All kinds of crazy stuff going on. I’m sure it’s because the spiritual dimension, the dimension between the natural and the spiritual have thinned and so supernatural evil is having an effect on people in a really bad way.
But guess what? For us, that means that the spirit dimension, the angelic ranks and supports and the supply and the help of the Holy Spirit right there. It’s right there with us. We’re in partnership with God. So that we can show the way, shine the light, preach the Word, pray, decree, declare!
God wants to use your declarations to establish His promises. He wants to use your declarations, your intercessions, your strong stance of faith to shift things so the devil doesn’t take advantage of you or yours, or this church or your church or whatever your community or your nation in this transitionary period.
Is that good? So let me finish here.
This prophetic word goes on to say, “This is also a season of recovering all. As God divinely intervenes to restore lost finances.” I mean, goodness gracious. Pastor Mac talking about how Keith Moore raised something like $3 million for our church planting initiative. And Pastor Mac wasn’t thinking anything, but the Lord kind of reminded him that he’d been planting seeds in different ways and Keith’s life and in other ministries for years, going back decades. Hello! Surprise, surprise. The Holy Ghost shows up one day and says, guess what? I’ve got a harvest for you. There’s a windfall for you to step into a whole new season of apostolic ministry and church planting around the world.
So you’ve got some harvest coming.
