Morning Prayer Summary for Wednesday, May 13, 2020

Pastor Tim…

We already have His abiding presence on the inside of us but let’s welcome His manifest presence into this place. One way we do that is by focusing our heart and mind on Him and reminding ourselves of His goodness, His grace, His lovingkindness.

Lord, You said You would provide us with new mercies every morning. Thank You for new mercies, grace, the supernatural empowerment of Your Holy Spirit, that favor that surrounds us as a shield, makes a way where there seems to be no way, makes the crooked places straight, the rough places smooth. Thank You for Your loving kindness, Your patience with us, longsuffering. You promised that when we wait on You, You would renew our strength like that of an eagle; that You would provide all that we need. We praise You for all You have done.

Thank You Jesus for all that You did, that You died for us. Thank You for our salvation, our healing. Thank You that by the stripes of Jesus we were healed therefore we are healed. Thank You for peace that passes all understanding and mounts guard and garrisons about our hearts and minds. By faith we receive.

Thank You for the protection You provide. It’s You Who enables us to lie down in safety. Thank You for Psalm 91, that no evil shall touch us or come near our dwelling place. Thank You, Father, for the joy of the Lord is our strength! You are the strength of our life!

Thank You that You are Jehovah Jireh, our Provider! You provide everything that we need according to Your riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Thank You that You are El Shaddai, our All Sufficient One! You provide more than we could ask, think, or imagine. Thank You that every good and perfect gift comes from Your hand. Thank You that there is not one thing that we have need of that You cannot, will not provide for us Lord. You are all sufficient, the God of more than enough.

Thank You for the Holy Spirit. That precious person of the Holy Spirit who leads us and guides us, orders our steps, comforts us, strengthens us, provides us with wisdom, knowledge, understanding, insight, and revelation. Thank You for Your presence. We just invite You Holy Spirit, come in this place this morning.

Pastor Tim led us singing Holy Spirit You are Welcome Here

It is entirely appropriate to praise Him for what He has done. David said “I will bless the Lord, oh my soul, and I will not forget the many benefits.”

So, I am grateful for what God has done. But, for more than what He has done, I am grateful for Who He is. Because of Who He is, I praise Him. Because of Who He is, I bless Him. Because of Who He is, I worship Him. He is worthy because He is God. He is worthy of all our praise, all our adoration, all of our love, all of our commitment, dedication, our un-reservable praise and worship.

Yes, just because of Who He is. We worship You.

Pastor Tim led us in worship

Pastor Ray…

Worship is one of the highest forms of prayer. It has to be by faith too. It has to be a heart-felt worship. And when we say that, we know it’s all You, Lord.

For me personally, I’ve been around long enough to know, nothing else will satisfy. It just doesn’t. No other earthly, natural thing totally satisfy like our God… the presence of God, the power of the Holy Spirit, the joy, the peace, all the things that Pastor Tim has been praying about as he sings and lifts up his voice. Thank You, Lord.

It definitely, its all by faith.

Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].” Hebrews 11:1 (AMPC)

“Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen.” Hebrews 11:1 (TPT)

In the natural we have five senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch.  But I remember John Osteen said once that there are five natural senses but there is a sixth sense. It’s the sense of faith. We have faith because we are filled with the Holy Spirit and out of our hearts we must stand in faith and call those things that are not as though they were. We’ve gone over those things probably hundreds and hundreds of times but still it’s always good to re-remind us.

Let’s say we heard something with our ears but none of our other senses were getting anything. So, our other four senses couldn’t say “No way!” and get in disagreement with our hearing. Because if we heard it, we know it.

It’s like that with faith, our sixth sense. Faith in our worship, faith in our prayers, in our words… We have to believe what we say is coming to pass when we know it says so in the Word “by the stripes of Jesus we were healed.” By faith in that Word, we were healed. And maybe our other 5 sense don’t know about it yet.

We are notifying our 5 natural sense today, there is another sense. There is a sixth sense, the sense of faith.

But Jesus looked at them and said, with men this is impossible, but all things are possible with God.” Matthew 19:26 (AMPC)

So, when we in the natural today, we can look around. We can have a list of all kinds of things we see in the natural that are not changing and look like they are impossible to change, all of our senses see impossibilities all around us.

Even at the wedding at Cana when Jesus mother asked Him about the wine and He said “it’s not my time.” Did she just back off on that? Nope. She said to the servants “Whatever He says to you, do it.”

He had them go get some huge containers with water and bring them to Him. She actually called things that were not, even when Jesus said “It’s not my time.” Basically she is saying “Now is the time.”

We know there are impossibilities in May. We have said it, sung about it, declared it, there are somethings that have to be shut down. Turnarounds that must happen. When? Now.

We are not commanding or demanding our Father but lining up with what His Word tells us. All things are possible. Even those impossible things are possible with Him. We’ll just declare one of these things tomorrow. I will list all of the states in the United States and declare things over every state that line up with the Word of God. Maybe Europe too. There are so many things that need to be lined up with what the Word says.We are protected like what Pastor Tim said in Psalm 91. It’s our place of refuge. By faith we take that Psalm and believe what it says. We are protected. No weapon formed against us will prosper. We are the head and not the tail. We are in a place of peace and comfort. Holy Spirit is our comforter and help in the time of need. There are needs today. But looking back like we just did… thank You, Lord. You did it then. You will do it again. You did it here. You’ll do it over there! Hallelujah!

We will declare it this morning. things are changing more in alignment with the Word and will of God. Holy Spirit… Let’s welcome His presence a little more Pastor Tim. We have Him but there is a sense, a greater manifestation of His presence and we need that today.

Pastor Tim led us in Welcoming His manifest presence…

Pastor Ray…

Come in Your power, come in the fullness of who You are, do what You want to do, that’s what we want. We want You to do what needs to be done. Whatever changes we need to make, show us. We know You are. You are speaking to us all of the time. You are saying “do this, do that, go, stop.” Hallelujah. Holy Spirit, You are welcome here. Precious Holy Spirit, we invite you in. You are welcome here. Come Holy Spirit. (singing in tongues)

Hallelujah… You know that, that phrase sometimes people say, well, “My ship hasn’t come in yet”?  Something like that.  I just thought of that.  A ship is coming in.  In other words, the things that are needed, that are necessary in these days, are coming forth because there’s been a great outpouring of prayer going forth all over the earth. The ship, so called, is coming in and bringing with it supernatural turn-arounds, turn-arounds, changes! Restorations! Wholeness, healings, prosperity.

♪ Oh, Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit…Your ways are so good. Your ways are so high (singing in tongues) ♪

Hallelujah.  Do you ever get that eternal joy where you know it’s not a natural thing? It’s not because someone handed you a thousand-dollar check, or whatever. It’s not natural! The joy of the Lord is strength within us and it’s by faith we receive that joy. Where we will not be held back, where we’ll not be held down, where we’ll stay contending for the plan and purposes that God has pre-ordained us to walk in as members of His Body.  ♪ Oh, Thank you Lord…Thank you…Thank you, Lord ♪

We rest in you, Lord. We trust in You, all of our trust, all of our hope, it’s in You, Lord. Thank you.

In Psalm 91:5, it says you do not need to fear. How’s that going to come to pass? Looks impossible. Well, we do not need to fear because “all things are possible in God.”

When man says “it’s going to be this way” or “it’s going to be that way,” when the news media says “this is the way it will be” or “it will always be this way and it’ll never be better,” well, we are not lined up with that! That is not in line with what the Word has said.

So, we line ourselves up, get ourselves in line with what God has said in His written Word. And by the power of the Holy Spirit, He’s spoken it to us, over, and over, and over! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Nehemiah 8:10, “The joy of the Lord is our strength!”  We’ve got strength. We’ve got enough strength to persevere and go all the way through to, what? Victory, after victory, after victory! From one degree of glory to another, to another, to another, moving up, away, moving ahead! Hallelujah!

Pastor Tim led us singing See a Victory

Pastor Ray…

In the beginning of Nehemiah four it says that Nehemiah prayed. So, he got his eyes where they should be and he began to pray.

(8) And they all plotted together to come and fight against Jerusalem, to injure and cause confusion and failure in it.

(9) But because of them we made our prayer to our God and set a watch against them day and night.

We set our watch today against the enemy. Whatever the enemy has tried to do… and he’ll use whatever he can use. He’ll take groups of people to come against the Church to shake up the Church, shake out the Church but the Church will not be shaken. The earth is being shaken but the Church is rising up. We’ll use this right here this morning, turn it right back on them, confusion, failure (this is the enemy). We declare it over the enemy! We say,  “stop in your maneuvers against the Church and too against our country in Jesus’ name. Stop in your maneuvers all over this earth.”

The Church will not be set down, but the Church will continually rise up, take it’s place. Hallelujah. We’ll not stop calling the things that are not as thought they were. We will, by faith, declare! It’s separate from our natural 5 senses. Like I said, “it’s the sixth sense, faith.”

Belief, knowing that the words we declare today, they’re making a way for the days that are to come. Things are turning. Things are changing (ha, ha, ha). It’s by faith! Hello!

Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Father.

When we go down and pray Psalm 91, by faith we have to believe it’s true. Otherwise, it would just be words.

(1) Whoever lives under the shelter of the Most High will remain in the shadow of the Almighty.
(2) I will say to the LORD, “[You are] my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust.”
(3) He is the one who will rescue you from hunters’ traps and from deadly plagues.
(4) He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge. His truth is your shield and armor.
(5) You do not need to fear terrors of the night, arrows that fly during the day,
(6) plagues that roam the dark, epidemics that strike at noon.
(7) They will not come near you, even though a thousand may fall dead beside you or ten thousand at your right side.
(8) You only have to look with your eyes to see the punishment of wicked people.
(9) You, O LORD, are my refuge! You have made the Most High your home.
(10) No harm will come to you. No sickness will come near your house.
(11) He will put his angels in charge of you to protect you in all your ways.
(12) They will carry you in their hands so that you never hit your foot against a rock.
(13) You will step on lions and cobras. You will trample young lions and snakes.
(14) Because you love me, I will rescue you. I will protect you because you know my name.
(15) When you call to me, I will answer you. I will be with you when you are in trouble. I will save you and honor you.
(16) I will satisfy you with a long life. I will show you how I will save you.

Pastor Tim led us singing See a Victory

Pastor Ray…

That’s a good declaration. We see victory all over the place because the Holy Spirit is within us and He is not leaving us. He said He would never leave! So, we say this morning “We see victory wherever we go! We see victory over impossible situations because all things are possible!”

Victory is not only possible, it’s a promise (ha, ha, ha). Victory in everything. Whatever we put our hands unto, prospers. We’re in a place of safety. We’re protected. We’re whole. We’re healed. Our needs are met. We’ve stepped over into the land of more than enough and we’re not going back. No!

If anyone wants to be shaken up, let the earth be shake but we’re not being shaken. We are members of the body of Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords. You are so good. You are so faithful, never changing. Your Word is still the same. Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Father.

Even when we don’t know it, we know that You are working. We maybe can’t sense it, feel it, or touch it, know it by our five senses but we know You are working and making a way where there was no way and by faith we enter on into that way, today! Thank You for it!

Thank you for connecting with us. Wherever you are, you are blessed going in, going out, whatever you are doing today. Whatever you put your hands unto, there is prosperity there. Things are moving on your behalf, God is moving! Prosperity is yours: spirit, soul, and body.

We are all blessed today and we’re overcomers all the way through this day. Thank you so much. We will be back here tomorrow morning. Amen – so be it. Hallelujah. Thank You, Lord.
