Morning Chapel Prayer Today
Pastor Ken…
Good morning, everyone!
Reversals…
I just have to speak out the word that I sense in my spirit and that is the word “reversals.” Reversals. The Bible reads in Romans 8:26, “Likewise, the spirit also helps our weakness.” Or you could say our inability. Pastor Lynne likes to say, the Holy Spirit helps our inability to produce prayer results. We need help praying. We can’t do it on our own. We can’t do life on our own. We can’t produce results—the God kind of results on our own.
The Holy Spirit is our helper…
But Jesus sent the promised Holy Spirit, right? That He would live and remain with us forever, through every stage of life, through every situation we face that we might have help. He is the helper. He is the one who comes to stand by us and with us and in us, that we would be able to produce the appropriate results or answers on the earth.
Kenneth Hagin quote…
Before I finish that, I was listening to an old brother Kenneth Hagin message. And he was talking about faith and prayer. And he said, “Whatever God does on the earth, He does through the church.” He also said, “All the desires of the Head are carried out through the body. And that begins with prayer as well as action.”
The Holy Spirit makes intercession for us…
But Paul writes in the passage in Romans 8 here, “Likewise, the Spirit also helps our weakness, for we do not know what we should pray for as we ought. But the Spirit Himself makes intercession (or prayers you can say) for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”
So I like to say, when you’re praying in the Holy Spirit, God through His Spirit is pouring into you, or the prayers and the utterance and the expression that’s on the Father’s heart, that it would be articulated and decreed through your prayer language into the earth realm.
We are God’s assigned portals…
That’s why I like to say, you are God’s assigned portal. He is pouring out of Himself into and through you and me, through His church in this hour. You have a sacred calling. You have been pronounced a royal priesthood. You have been crowned with His favor and honor. You’ve been remade from the inside to reflect the Son of God—Jesus. So that you’re every bit made right and equipped and furnished through and through for the Father’s work and the Father’s plan today… and every day!
We are a royal priesthood after the order of Jesus…
You’re a royal priest after the order of Jesus, sent forth into a generation, into a very significant time. These end of days times where things are accelerating. Yet other things are being reversed. That which the enemy is doing. Because it goes on to say, “He makes intercession for us with groans cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is because He makes intercession or prayers for the saints according to the will of God.”
Your book of Destiny…
That’s why I like to say when you’re praying in the Spirit, you are praying whole sentences and paragraphs and chapters from your book of Destiny housed in the heavenly realm. It’s by the help of the Holy Spirit, reading off of those pages of destiny and praying them out according to that book of destiny, according to the perfect will of God.
Isn’t that exciting?
You may not know exactly the way forward today. You may not know what needs to be prayed about in your nation or in America, or in your situation, or with your children, or your family, or your spouse, but the Holy Spirit knows.
He knows all things.
He’s everywhere at once.
He’s all powerful.
He’s all knowing.
You have a perpetual source of inside information for your investments, for that decision regarding where you’re going to move and where you’re going to go and what needs to be done today.
He lives in you! The answer is in you!
And if we’ll be wise, as the scripture reads, we’ll draw that plan up and out from our belly, our innermost being. Because the Bible says the spirit of man lives on the inside in your belly. And that’s where the Holy Spirit comes to take up residence and live… to inspire us, to inform us, to nudge us, to wink at us, to prompt us.
Don’t overlook the leadership of the Holy Spirit…
Oh, don’t overlook the leadership of the Holy Spirit. Every day wake up and say, “Hey, Holy Spirit, what’s up? I honor you. I look to you. I give you deference and preference in my life.” And His voice and His workings are not in a clap of thunder or a flash of lightning or some big display of technology. The Holy Spirit is the one who in the ancient of days, it’s recorded that He is the one who is the still small voice The one who’s behind you saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”
You’ve been set up to succeed. You’ve been set up to deploy answers and bring forth the glory of God and usher in the second return of Jesus.
“Martha, did he just say that?”
Things are accelerating…
Yeah! We’re here to usher in the second return of Jesus… I’ve said up before, I’ll say it again… things are accelerating. And other things are reversing. Not just in a far-out ethereal kind of way, but on the earth, things are changing. I can pray and prophesy that now. Even in our own nation, in our lives. Yes, absolutely.
In this nation, you’re going to see further acceleration. In this nation, you will see further reversals of what the enemy intended. It’s going to backfire. As we pray, as we stay in the face of God.
Moses didn’t want to go forward without the Lord…
The Bible records that Moses sought the face of God. In one account in Exodus, he said unto God Himself, “Lord, don’t take me up from this place unless your presence goes with me.”
The children of Israel were led through the desolate places in the wilderness, through a cloud that attended them by day and gave them shelter and guidance. And by a fiery tornado of fire by night. They were warmed and protected and had light and guidance even in the nighttime. Well, that was a foretelling and a picture of the great and mighty Holy Spirit. The Spirit who is seen as tongues of fire on the early church.
Well, I will prophesy today…
We’re going to see tongues of fire again. We’re going to see flames of fire springing forth from the church, springing forth from your life and my life in this hour. We’re going to have what the Father has intended and what He has recorded and what He had envisioned long ago when the Trinity came together. Even before the earth was shaped and fashioned and made, the Trinity came together in a great meeting. And they decided many things. Including, they decided upon you. That they would make you and who you would be and what you would be called to and what would be woven into your nature. And made provision for what you would need to overcome, because they knew ahead of time that there would be an enemy and that Lucifer would fall and try to raise up a rebellion.
But Jesus said, “I’ll go.” Long before this present civilization in earth was made, Jesus volunteered Himself and said, “I will go and I will make a way. I’ll be that door for them.”
Oh, aren’t you glad?
There’s a door already made for you to go through…
Every day, we wake up and there’s a door. There’s a door already pre-made and pre-positioned in this season of your life, in this season of the body of Christ. There’s a door and His name is Jesus! His name is Yeshua.
He is the ancient of days.
He is the great I am.
He is the bright and morning star.
He is the lily of a valley.
He is the rose of Sharon.
He is our great physician and healer.
He is the great psychologist and way maker.
We step through the door and “pray” a way…
So as we worship Him and as we pray and as we spend time turning His Word over in our minds and in our hearts, we step through the door and we find a way. We pray a way.
I’m preaching and I wanted to finish this verse. Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that all things work together for good.” Somebody say “For good.” Things are working together for your good today. Now I’m a teacher. My motivational gift is a teacher if you didn’t already know. And so I like to make sure that I juxtapose this truth or put it in context. The context in these verses in Romans 8 is prayer.
Do all things work together for good?
A lot of Christians just kind of flippantly say, “Well, you know, all things are going to work for good.” Well, no. Not necessarily. Unless you’re within the context of what Paul was talking about here in the greater picture, which was prayer. If you’re endeavoring to pray where you’re at in your particular season and yield your heart and step through that door, then guess what? You can boldly proclaim, “All things are working together for my good, according to…” It says here “and know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” Which is another prerequisite that you are endeavoring to follow God’s purpose. You can boldly say that what the enemy’s doing is being reversed and all things are working together for my good.
Excitement for the days ahead…
Oh, I’m just so stirred in my spirit about the days ahead. There’s going to be more challenges, of course. There’s going to be more things that will arise. But we have what it takes to meet the challenge. We have what it takes… that spirit of Jesus, that spirit of victory to overcome at every turn and meet the opposition face on and run it out of our lives… our nation… and our situations.
Paula White and the President…
I want to add one thing that came up. I was reminded of a story… Lance Wallnau shared this recently. He was talking about Paula White and how there are even many Bible thumpers that just attack her and probably are just jealous that she has a close relationship with President Trump. But that relationship started way back many years ago before President Trump even thought about running for President, according to Lance and him kind of recounting her story. Evidently President Trump had watched her on TV back in the early nineties or something when she was on television, I think daily, if I remember right. And he was just drawn to her and said, “Whatever she’s got, she’s got it.” He was recognizing the anointing.
You’re going to pay a price for it…
And so he sought her out and began a connection with her and began to talk to her. And Paula said, “I’m going to begin to pray…” This way back years ago. “I’m going to begin to pray for you.” Because he had expressed he was thinking about running for President. So she began to fast and pray and sought the Lord. And according to her account, she came back to Mr. Trump, and said, “I prayed and I think you’re going to run. And actually you’re going to win.” And then she went on to say, “But I’m crying because you’re going to pay a price for it.”
Look up! You’re still standing…
So don’t get bore sighted on some things you’re having to deal with… some persecution you’re facing, what someone did to you, the betrayal you faced, the challenges you’ve been through. Maybe it’s not because you made a mistake or maybe it’s simply because you have taken the higher road and your intent to follow Him. Well, I just challenge you and encourage you, keep following Him. You can grow stronger in faith no matter what the enemy… He can throw the kitchen sink at you, the enemy that is, and you can still overcome it and grow stronger and reflect God’s greater glory in your life. You’ve been through some things. I’ve been through some things. And I’m still standing and so are you. You may feel beat up and look a little tattered, but you’re still standing. You’re still breathing. You’re on planet earth. So there’s purpose for you. You have a voice. You can exercise authority. You can pronounce the name of Jesus over nations and situations and you can pray for people and make a difference and shift the course of history in the direction that God intends for you and all those around you.
So what I’m saying is you may feel beat up, you may have been through some things, you may have paid a price in some ways, but guess what? That’s okay. It’s worth it. Not only because of the glory and the reward that will be revealed on the other side of this realm in the next life, but also because your fruitfulness is going to increase in the coming days.
Can I prophesy that over you?
The church’s fruitfulness and display of power is going to increase. Expect that! Expect healing to flow from you. Expect anointing to flow through you in whatever you’re called, whatever station of life you’ve been assigned to, whether it’s in business or education or administration or ministry or as an entrepreneur or teacher or mom or dad. Whatever the case is, you have more than enough to overcome whatever’s facing you.
