Morning Chapel Prayer Today
Pastor Ken gives a word…
I feel like I need to make this announcement. And that simply is like we sang in the first song, “we sought the Lord and He responded and He answered.”
He has already sent the answer…
I want to stir up your consciousness this morning to say the Lord has already answered regarding your situation, regarding your issue, regarding your request. There’s no uncertainty nor shake-ability in the mindset or the kingdom of God. He announces today to you that His will is that you be made whole from head to toe.
He wants you to come out of the fire without harm…
He announces from His Book and by the echoing of His Spirit within our spirits, that His desire is that you would come out without even the smell of smoke on you or the singe of a flame on your life in any way because of the trial or the difficulty.
His announcement to us today is victory…
His announcement to us today is that He wills that you prosper and experience good health even as your soul, your inner life prospers and is in good health. The kingdom of God is profound. That’s true. But the kingdom of God is certainty. Oh, that’s a word right there. Certainty! There’s no shadow of turning in God’s perspective regarding you and your own. Regarding America. Regarding the church in this generation. He has answered that He is willing that none should perish. That includes every last one of your family members and loved ones. That every one of them would know the name of Jesus and come unto salvation.
Laugh at the enemy…
There’s certainty in the kingdom of God regarding you succeeding and advancing in the plan of God. Oh, you might experience some setbacks. The Devil will take his best shot. Let him take his best shot. Because in the midst of him taking his best shot, you can laugh. At famine and destruction, you can laugh my Bible reads.
And I’ve done it before…
In the midst of a 500-year storm in 1999, I laughed in the face of 80- to a 100-mile an hour winds, in the middle of the boundary waters canoe area. As trees were snapping all around me, I laughed at that destruction. I laughed at the enemy’s best shot. It wasn’t enough and it won’t be enough his best shot in your life either.
Give Him thanks that He is sustaining you…
Sometimes all that is necessary to continue in prayer, to continue in the plan of God is to just give Him thanks that He’s sustaining you, that you’re standing today, that you got out of your bed. Maybe a little slow. Maybe on the wrong side even. But you got up and you’re standing and you’re moving forward today and God is sustaining you and He holds you in the palm of His hand. That’s what He is answering you today. I hold you in the palm of My hand and I will not let go of you. I will not let the enemy have you. I will not let your feet slip.
He sets you upon a rock…
Instead, the Lord would say, “I’m setting your feet upon a rock, upon a high plateau, a steady and a sturdy place that will enable you to endure, come hell or high water, come adversity, insecurity, insufficiency. I will cause you to stand and stay strong for a time as you endure, the Spirit of God would say, you may not experience it naturally, but you will see if you stand in that place of faith, if you agree with what I have answered and what I have to say, and you will rejoice in what I’ve said and take hold of what I’ve said from My Word, the Spirit of God would say, then you will see and you will carry away to the full all that I have responded and answered and prepared and made available for you in every way. In Jesus’ name, amen. Amen.
Don’t lose sight of that Word He spoke to you…
So know that the Lord has answered. You’re not waiting on Him. He’s waiting on you and me to take hold of what He said from His Book to begin with. But also in our hearts. And perhaps something He said to you through someone a month ago, a year ago, 10 years ago… If it’s His Word, then it’s relevant. If it’s His Word, then it’s still life giving today. Take hold of that Word. Don’t lose sight of His promises. Don’t lose sight of that Word He spoke to you, that impression He dropped down into your heart.
The enemy wages a war of attrition…
He wants to distract us. And he wants us to slowly let go of what God answered and what He said to us. Stir that up in your heart again. Take hold of it, even if it’s simply, “I will sustain you.”
Prayed…
Lord, thank you for your sustaining power and anointing and grace today. As we navigate through seasons of waiting, seasons of just doing good, standing by faith.
But make no mistake about it…
If you’ll learn to stay strong and grow strong in the waiting, in the standing, in the Lord sustaining, then you will see harvest. You will see the fulfillment of every last thing He has promised. Because God is faithful. There’s no shadow of turning in His nature. There’s no secondary thought. There’s no doubt, worry, anxiousness, fear in the heavenly realm. They don’t even have words for those things. Only certainty. Only an absolute understanding, this is the will of God and it’s for life, and healing, and blessing, and favor, and the prosperity of His purposes in every last one of our lives. Thank you, Father.
James 1:2, count it all joy…
The Bible reads in James 1:2 in the New King James, “My brethren count it all joy when you fall into various trials.” It’s so simple, but you have the ability… you have the opportunity to choose joy today in the midst of trials. You have the opportunity to speak forth what God has spoken to you. The word spoken to you was designed to be spoken through you. So that in the midst, especially in the midst of adversity and contrary circumstances, when you’re tempted to say what you’re seeing, Jesus reminds us to say what you want. Say what you desire. Say what you want to see. Because you can have what you say. At least that’s what my Bible still reads. Amen.
David encouraged himself in the Lord…
You can shift the trajectory of what’s going on in your atmosphere, in your home, in your heart, in your life. Kathy alluded to this earlier about David who encouraged himself in the Lord. I’m sure he was tempted many times and maybe gave into it at times to just throw up at the mouth and just describe how horrible his situation and his life was in that moment. But he recognized quickly that he was his own best cheerleader, just like you and me. And instead of throwing out at the mouth with doubt and fears and describing more of what we’re seeing, he said, “I will put my trust and my hope in the Lord. Why are you downcast, oh my soul. I will put my hope and my confidence and my trust in the Lord.”
You make your way forward by your words, by your prayers…
You advance, you take higher ground, you stir up the joy of the Lord within you by opening your mouth and saying what the Lord is saying. Especially when you’re in the midst of adversities and things not changing in the moment. Your words carry weight. Your words sends the enemy packing. Your words release spiritual authority so that you don’t have to perpetually take that beatdown day after day in your emotions, in your mindset, in your situation.
James 1:2 says…
“My brethren, counter it all joy when you fall into various or different trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.” Or steadiness. Or continuance you could say. “But let patience have its perfect work,” or complete work. Let it work. Don’t let your mind go to the timetable. Like, that’s none of our business, God’s timing. We just know He has a timing. And He has a way. And He makes all things beautiful in His timetable.
Our responsibility is to let our hearts be strengthened by His Spirit and let our voice announce and confirm the promise. And His answer to us. Because in doing that, we continue to release faith so that God can create the reality of what we desire and what He’s promised.
He goes on to say…
“But let patience have its perfect work that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” Can I just say you’re entering a season where you’re going to lack nothing. The flow of the eternal realm is increasing from heaven to earth, and everything that that flow brings is flowing to you and through you today. Expect that. Amen?
Choose to turn your perspective in the direction of God’s intention.
Choose to turn your focus to Him, to abundance, toward healing.
Shift your perspective toward the answer rather than the problem.
See Him as far greater because He is than any situation that seems impossible.
Let me read those verses from the Passion translation…
It goes like this in James 1:2, “My fellow believers, when it seems as though you are facing nothing but difficulties, see it as an invaluable opportunity to experience the greatest joy that you can.” Hallelujah!
Do you know when you laugh in the face of adversity, in the face of fear… fear is a spirit from the enemy. When you choose to laugh, just outright laugh, even if it’s just by faith and you don’t feel like it, it’s okay. You can do things by faith. That’s how we’re to roll. The just shall live by faith, by believing and not by seeing or feeling, or past experience. If you want to change your todays and your tomorrows, then choose to roll by faith. Choose to say something different than you said yesterday. If you keep saying the same thing, if you keep praying the same thing, you’re going to see the same thing going forward.
Choose to let your heart be expanded to the degree that you begin to say some things that make you feel uncomfortable. Like…
I am blessed of the Lord.
I’m highly favored.
I’m blessed to be a blessing until all the families of the earth are blessed.
I’m not going to fail.
I’m not going to stay limited and in a low place.
Instead…
I’m rising up and thriving.
My biggest dreams are coming to pass.
The fulfillment of God’s promise in every way is presently unfolding before me.
As for me and my household, we will all be saved and fulfill the greatest extent of God’s plan for our lives.
My finances are exploding with abundance and new resources.
The favor of God is making a way where I presently don’t see a way.
I don’t have to see a way.
I know God has a way because He’s gone into my future and made provision and carved out a way and provided answers.
Take time to imagine…
Take time to create new neural pathways. In other words, take time to imagine. Use your imagination and see yourself in the fulfillment of the Word that prepares you to pray accurately, that prepares you to pray in faith. Yes, we see and acknowledge problems, but God wants the opportunities He’s insinuating to us. He wants His promises to be bigger in us than the problem.
The Passion translation goes on to say this…
“For you know that when your faith is tested, it stirs up in you the power of endurance.” God’s staying power is in you today and expanding in you today. Don’t let anybody talk you out of that. That’s why the enemy fights and discourages prayer because he’s the one that suffers most…
When you pray.
When you pray in other tongues.
When you simply make a simple mention of a request before Him.
When you declare the name of Jesus.
When you plead the blood.
When you bind.
When you loose.
When you acknowledge His presence and His staying power in your life…
I’m telling you that sends the enemy packing. It also releases spiritual laws and sets them in motion so that spiritual laws begin to work for you and not against you. Such as life and death is in the power of the tongue. Those who choose to speak words of life or those who choose to speak words of death, will experience or eat the result or fruit of those words. Because you set spiritual laws in motion with your words.
So I just pray…
Let your heart be strengthened and infused with supernatural endowment and strength today to stay strong in the midst of adverse circumstances. Because it won’t be long before you can taste, feel, and touch the result of your standing strong. God’s already answered.
