Ms. Annie led us singing Jesus We Love You
Pastor Ray…
Hallelujah, He’s good. He created us good, great. According to His’ manufacturers specifications, everything should be working right. I am talking about our natural bodies.
I want go through this confession. We have done it may times before. It just came up in me that we should do it again, to confess over yourself the things that He’s set up within you to be right, to be whole, healthy in every way. And it’s okay to lay hands on yourself. It works. And I love this confession because that’s what we do. But one of the things it talks about right in the beginning of it, our authority. We have the authority. And I want to give you two scriptures.
(19) Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you. Luke 10:19 (AMPC)
So we are basing our confession on what the Word says about us.
(17) And these attesting signs will accompany those who believe: in My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages; (18) They will pick up serpents; and [even] if they drink anything deadly, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will get well. Mark 16:17–18 (AMPC)
So, that’s what we are standing on this morning, those two scriptures.
And if you weren’t here yesterday, we did something different. Ms. Annie had this picture she shared with us because we were talking about singing in other tongues even if we thought the sound of our voice was not really great. Okay, Ms. Annie, you explain what you saw about the “scribbles”.
Ms. Annie…
I have little grandkids and they make pictures and they scribble. I just treasure them. I put them on my refrigerator. And the Lord spoke to me one day when I was doing that. He said “I like your scribbles. They are beautiful to Me.” So, when we were praying or singing in tongues, we might think “Oh, that just doesn’t sound right.” You know He tells me that about my singing. A lot of times my singing to me is like a scribble! (ha, ha, ha) It just doesn’t go where it’s supposed to go! (ha, ha, ha) But He loves our scribbles when we are giving them to Him. So, we don’t have to worry if we are doing it right or whatever. He’s doing it right. We yield and even if it sounds like a scribble to us, to Him it’s a beautiful treasure, a treasure that came out of your heart. Because you are His treasure and as long as we’re yielding to Him, He loves our scribbles!
Pastor Ray…
Just so when we are praying in other tongues, you know this morning, it doesn’t matter what it sounds like to you. It matters what He does with your “scribbles” as long as they come out of your heart.
Ms. Annie and I were talking earlier this morning about how I can say the rosary in probably 10 minutes or less (ha, ha, ha). I was raised Catholic and we had to go to church every morning before school. A bunch of us would always race to see who could get done with the rosary fastest. This sounds like a rabbit trail but after my mother went home to be with the Lord, we were at her wake. As Catholics, somebody, maybe the priest, will come in and say the rosary. Well, in this case my aunt said the rosary. And she said the rosary in such an anointed way. I thought “I never heard anything like that.” When she got to the Lord’s Prayer, you knew she did it out of her heart. And that’s the whole deal. It just reminded me of that, when we are scribbling in tongues.
And then yesterday I shared what Pastor Mark Harper always used to say. He would say “My voice is not worthy, it’s not good. But God by His Spirit takes what we speak out of our hearts or sing and He makes those things a masterpiece.” Amen.
So, we will speak this confession, lay hands on ourselves and believe anything that is not right, it will get right. If the pray-ers are battling in their own bodies, it’s a little more difficult to bring the fullness of the supply when there is pain or things are not right or working right.
The following confession is by Keith Moore:
Father God, I thank You I am Your child,
I thank You for giving me the Name of Jesus and the authority that goes with it,
Thank You for giving me Your Holy Spirit, the Greater One, the Mighty Power of God.
In Jesus’ Name, I have authority over all demons, over all disease, to move obstacles, to stop problems, to calm storms, to rebuke sickness,
I have authority! I have power! In Jesus’ Name.
(Put your hands on your head)
In Jesus’ Name, fear and doubt leave me, be gone. Confusion, deception, be gone
Heaviness, be gone. Depression, be gone in Jesus’ Name
Mind, be strong, think clear, be bright and sharp.
(Put your hands on your chest)
Soul, be strong, have peace, be at rest and be free and loosed.
(Put your hands on your body)
Body, be strong.
Tumors and growths, anything that ought not be in the body, I speak against you. I command you in Jesus’ Name, die, die, dry up, be gone, leave me.
Heart, be clear, be strong
Lungs, be clear, be strong
Stomach, intestines, be healed, be healed, be whole, be free, work right
Every organ, every gland, be right, be normal, be healthy, be strong
Every bone, every muscle, every ligament, all my nerves, all my skin, be healthy,
Be whole, be right, be strong, in Jesus’ Name.
Satan, in Jesus’ Name, I command you, take your hands off my money, off my finances, off my investments, off my business, off my job.
In Jesus’ Name STOP in your operations, cease in your maneuvers
Ministering Spirits, angels – GO. Cause money to come.
Work, influence – cause it to come in Jesus’ Name.
(Note: Claim specific amounts – some extra!)
In Jesus’ Name, Satan, stop in your operations and your maneuvers…
Pastor Ray…
Now just in your spirit, an amount that you already have that you are believing God for… But maybe there isn’t. But it would be good for us to continually confess an amount that we’d be believing Him for. Right? On this confession, the last time I read this, I had written down $63 million; not just for myself but that would be good. But it was for Living Word. It was for the church, a minimum of $63 million would just come forth, come in so the building would be paid off so we could do what God has called us to do – the big things, the great things.
So, we are going to ask the ministering spirits to do what? To go. We are going to ask them to go and you know how the Bible says a lot of times you don’t get it because you don’t ask. And how many people do you think “loose the ministering spirits” and say “Go!” I mean how many people do that? I don’t know. Maybe it’s just a small percentage of the body.
[Continued] Ministering Spirits, angels—GO. Cause money to come.
Work, influence—cause it to come in Jesus’ Name.
And then in parentheses is say “Claim specific amount(s) and add some extra (ha, ha,ha)! I like that! So I am asking, telling the ministering spirits, I am going to go right back on this, “Go, get the $63 million and bring it into Living Word Christian Center.” And you know we could begin to influence in other areas of our cities and start other churches there and there. Get it? Alright, so for yourself… We’ll say it again, “Do you have a figure?” I have something inside. So, we’ll declare this again and we’ll loose them and tell them to go.
[Continued] Ministering Spirits, angels—GO. Cause money to come.
Work, influence—cause it to come in Jesus’ Name.
(Note: Claim specific amounts – some extra!)
Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Father. I see like the post office. You open up the little old fashion door and get your mail. Checks are in the mail! Checks are coming to you and to me, to us in Jesus’ name. We expected them to come! We believe for them to come! And we receive them to come into our accounts in Jesus’ name.
Ms. Mariam…
Pastor Ray can I share this? A lady who owes our business money said to me “every day I wake up, I see your face” because she owes us money. She said “Every day I see your face.” So people are waking up right now and they see your face. They see your face and they say “We have to get them money.” We release that.
Pastor Ray…
(ha, ha, ha) Hallelujah. Thank You, Father. So you’ve already had some that has been owed to you come in. But there is still more to come. Right?
Ms. Miriam…
Yes. It keeps coming.
[Continued] In Jesus’ Name, Satan, stop in your operations and your maneuvers against our marriages, against our families, against our children (against our nation)
We forbid it. We bind you. You cannot continue. We stop it in Jesus’ Name.
Our marriages are strong.
Our families are strong and free and right in Jesus’ Name.
So be it.
Pastor Ray…
Hallelujah. Thank You for it, Lord.
When you said that, Mariam, that other people are seeing your face every day because they owe you money, sometimes the way we see ourselves even when we look in the mirror, we should begin to see ourselves in a different light and we should begin to see ourselves bright, instead of dim. And so I got these new reading glasses and they have a triple deal going. I could wear them and see right up here but then if I want to read it’s different down here. But there is a rose tint to them which I didn’t know. So, actually you all look better than you’ve ever looked before (ha, ha, ha)! And I am looking through rose colored glasses (ha, ha, ha)! Oh, thank You, Lord.
So, it is important to see ourselves the way He sees us and act it out. Be bold. Every entrepreneur, every business owner, everyone that works for someone else, we have to see ourselves never ever quitting, sitting down, or turning around but we must continually contend to be who He has called us to be. Amen.
I was just reminded of it this morning. I turn on the TV and they’re having these entrepreneurs on Fox News every day. And this particular one this morning, he tried a hundred different businesses until he came up with something that was working right. So, his point was don’t ever stop, don’t quit, keep moving. And you can try different things. But his idea was to get a smart car in New York City and he would park and set up a little store out of the back. He put a mannequin with a suite jacket on top of the car and set up a little shop. People would come and he would measure them for a new suite, show them all of the fabrics, and then make up a new suit for a special price, and deliver it to their house. That was the beginning of the business. Now that would get your attention. You are down town Minneapolis and here is this little smart car with a store set up out of the back and he’ll make you a new suit. That was working but he said “by the grace of God, I knew that wasn’t the end of it.” So, he set up a little kit. It was like a suit in a bag. And he has a hundred other people working for him now. And they will set up a little deal and pull it out and they’ll sell suits out of a bag. They have everything that he had in the back of his car. You pick it all out, you pay the price, and they will deliver it right to your house. So, he went from one person to a hundred people and he’s believing to have it all over the world because it will work in every country, well especially if they want a suit.
Brother DJ…
I was just reading this morning that Moses went up and stayed forty days on the mountain. But when he came down, the Lord said to him “Take an offering.” I mean after forty days he didn’t say to him “Go do this or that” but He said “Take an offering.” I felt this morning when you said $63 million dollars, I felt I would like to take an offering toward that $63 million dollars if you don’t mind, starting today. I thank You, Lord, You said give and it shall be given unto us, pressed down, shaken together, running over, men shall give unto… You will cause men to give unto our bosom. Thank You, Father. (Many people continued to come up with an offering)
Ms. Cindy…
What you were saying today about the little things that we do for God from our heart, we just keep going forward and He is the one who shapes them. I saw this offering just like the loaves and the fishes Jesus blessed and multiplied.
For example, DJ and I have a vision for the debt being eliminated on this building. And it started with him and I just really got behind it. He loves offerings and always believes for supernatural increase. And I started to feel more and more strongly that now is the time for the debt to be gone. And I asked the Lord “Why am I so bore sighted concerning the debt elimination of this church?” And He said “Because it’s symbolic of the debt that My people feel.” He didn’t say it’s the debt. He said it’s the debt we “feel.” And He wants to target and eliminate that; set us free from the feeling of any debt so that we can increase in the area of our giving and increase in the area of our receiving in Jesus’ name. That we are released and freed up and out of that “feeling” of debt to increase exponentially in every area of life. And we believe the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just, those who will pity the poor and send out into the world the Gospel in Jesus’ name.
I thank You, Father, that this is to You like the loaves and fishes. This is our little something but You are honoring it. And thank You, Father, that it will multiply and be increased in Jesus’ name – I decree it!
Pastor Ray…
Yes, that’s right. We decree it. Thank You, Father.
Brother DJ…
Thank You, Father, we praise Your name.
Pastor Ray…
I am just going to lay hands on this offering. Thank You, Father.
♪ Thank You, Lord for the increase. Thank You for the more. Thank You for the new door. Thank You for Your Spirit working in us causing us to receive more, more, more than ever before. Oh it’s beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, for the seeds that are sown in the soil will come up, they’re coming up, they’re coming up, they’re multiplying up, they’re on the increase, more and more and more and more and more we receive. For when we give, we shall receive many times over it will be multiplied, oh, we receive, we receive. ♪
Father, over this offering this morning toward that 63 million, we receive it in faith and declare over it by faith that the increase will come forth and those things that we’ve spoke about this morning, bank accounts, investments, right into the mail boxes, wherever it needs to come from in Jesus’ name it’s on the way. Money is on the way, coming unto those that give, those that give, multiplied many times over, many times over in Jesus’ name.
Brother DJ…
Father, we thank You that You have begun a good work, You will finish this thing that You started today.
Ms. Annie led us singing Lord, I Give You My Heart
Pastor Ray…
Thank You, Father. Thank You, Lord. You are good and Your mercy endures forever. These are new times. This is a new month. We’ve entered into May and the flowers will come up and the increase will come up and the power from heaven above will come down and we will operate in the new. Thank You for it. Thank You, thank You, thank You, thank You. Thank You, Father.
