Prayer Summary for Friday, June 30, 2017

Pastor Ray shared…

Because of the 4th of July holiday next week, we won’t meet for prayer on Monday or Tuesday.

I talked to Pastor Steve and Jerre yesterday in Florida. She said they were going to Rodney Howard Brown’s church. She said Rodney took his whole staff to Israel. They were in the upper room. Someone told them “You can’t have a religious service.” Rodney was like, “We’re not religious.” So they all started singing in other tongues and the joy of the Lord hit the people. One man had to be assisted out. There is something about being in Israel. It’s holy. So they’re doing really good.

There’s a woman that shared something with me about the President. Her name is Sue. I wanted her to share with you what she told me.

Sue shared…

Hi. I have a friend whose cousin belongs to a church in Washington DC. And President Trump called up that pastor because he had heard that they were a praying church. And he asked the pastor into the White House and took him on a tour. Then President Trump invited this pastor to come in with intercessors to anoint every room and pray over every piece of furniture.

Pastor Ray continued…

Isn’t that sweet? Is that a secret?

She responded…

Not that I know of.

Pastor Ray continued…

Awesome. Number one, I like the fact that he called the pastor. Number two, he invited the pastor over to the White House. Number three, he wanted prayer in the White House. Do you know how many times we’ve lifted that up and gone into the White House by the Spirit and prayed through those rooms? Cleaning the house! That’s one of the things Jeanne Wilkerson did was, in the Spirit, went in and took out the garbage.

This morning, I felt like we were supposed to yield a little more this morning and not put any kind of limit on where we’ll go or what we’re to pray about. Just yield ourselves to the Holy Spirit and let Him pray through us. So we all have a part. You know that. We all have a part to play. It’s all of us together.

I wanted to share a couple things about the Holy Spirit. I always appreciated John Osteen’s ministry because he was such a Holy Ghost man. There are a couple things in this article by him.

[excerpt begins]
The Holy Ghost is the executive power of God. God the Father did His job in planning salvation. Jesus came down and completed His redemptive work. He has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. This is the age of the Holy Ghost.

I do not know of anybody in our day that is living, raising a family and trying to serve God that does not need the ability, efficiency and might of the Holy Spirit!

When you get the baptism in the Holy Ghost, you touch a realm you never before touched, even in your deepest dedication. It is a dimension where the gifts of the Holy Ghost operate. It is the realm of the supernatural! You begin to live in the same Holy Ghost-charged atmosphere as those in the book of Acts.

You must realize that you are not prepared to touch the world effectively until you are clothed with power from on high. That clothing comes in the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

Remember that the Holy Ghost is in us to bring about a demonstration. He is eager and jealous for Jesus to be glorified. He is zealous to perform this demonstration. He will rise quickly to come to the aid of every believer to demonstrate to the world that Jesus has completely conquered Satan and every demonic force.

After Jesus ascended to the Father and sprinkled His blood on the mercy seat, we received the right to have our bodies become the temples of that same, mighty Holy Ghost. We could then partake of the dynamic, supernatural, flowing energy that Jesus had during His earthly life.

Jesus knew the power of the Holy Ghost. He knew that it was so good and so wonderful that He could come to earth as a man, demonstrate it, and then die that all might have it.

The baptism in the Holy Ghost is not a goal, but a doorway to the supernatural power of God.

Since the baptism in the Holy Ghost is God’s method of clothing His people with power to destroy the works of darkness, it stands to reason that the Devil would lie about it, criticize it, make fun of it, and do everything else possible to hinder anyone from receiving it. [excerpt ends]

Pastor Ray continued…

The Holy Spirit cannot be stopped. And let’s believe God for the increase. We lift up the different churches and streams of ministry. We declare each one that the Holy Ghost will be allowed in. Yes, when we’re born again, we receive the Holy Spirit. But the baptism of the Holy Spirit is what we all need. I’m thinking back before the Holy Ghost and after, that’s two different lifestyles.

I like what Brother Osteen said. No matter how hard or how much we try to do what needs to be done, we can’t do it in our own strength without the power of the Holy Spirit. We know the Holy Spirit is a person. We’re grateful that somebody lifted us up and came after us in prayer. We’re thankful somebody spoke to each one of us about the Holy Spirit.

Group began to pray in the Holy Ghost …

There’s a mandate for it… sitting by the wayside and watch things go by, but stand up… rise up in His strength… stirred up… proceed… lift up and magnify the name… announcements… and confessions and declarations… not leaning on our own understanding… by the blood we overcome… declaring the message of power… declaring things to stop and others to begin… wrong things to stop and right things to start… turning some things up and turning some things around… we take our authority in the name … we use our authority… changes… turns… more and more and more… we push out those borders… we pull out those stakes… we’re going to the left and to the right… we’re going ahead… who can stop us? No man… the devil can’t stop us… the church is rolling… changes have already begun… an alignment… straightening the crooked things… we can go further than we’ve gone… greater changes that we’ve already seen… new ways… new times… now is the time to move out… answers… every piece where it needs to be… God-given assignments… a forward march… the army of God… more than that… it’s new… it’s uncharted… it’s like a motorcade… like a parade… help from heaven… every hindrance removed… every blockage out… it will come to pass… ha, ha, ha… today is the day… operations… every laborer… adjustments… a little turn there… a new idea… a revelation… wisdom from heaven… take that step of obedience… take it now…

It’s the course… a sustaining… there’s an opening…
We’re sustained in it…
The door is open… it’s the gateway… blessing… preparation has been made… angels, angels, angels… all the way… in the name… operation of the Holy Ghost…

Prayer for Pastor Ray…

God makes a way where there doesn’t seem to be a way… open up… and let Him make the way… there’s a separation… but it’s for the destination that you’ve been called to… it’s deep and it is wide… in the name… it’s a badge that you wear… it’s a badge of honor… of the Holy Ghost… operate, operate in that place in the name… and you’ll see the angels… you’ll start to see… in a wider measure, a greater manifestation… thank You, Lord… it’s a good time to be in the plan… to be in the will of God… changes are coming… it’s like putting on a new hat… for the new place… and today, today, today… in the body, Father… shifting and moving people into their places, Father… by the anointing of the Holy Ghost being thrust forth… into the nations… we proclaim it…

Pastor Paul shared…

I believe the Lord is showing you the things to come. The entrance of His Word gives light and gives understanding to the simple. God is showing you the days ahead. I’ve been meditating upon what it means to be a true witness. And what it means to be one that ministers on behalf of the kingdom of God. There are ten attributes for true witness. You find this in 1st John. It says that which was from the beginning and it says which we have heard. That’s the first one. And it says which we have seen with our eyes. Which we have looked upon is the third. And our hands have handled is the fourth of the Word of life. It says for the life was manifested and we have seen it and bear witness. That’s number six. And show unto you, number seven. And the witness will cause fellowship as (?) and this fellowship will cause them to declare what they have seen. That’s nine. And a true witness will always provide joy. That your joy may be full. And the message a true witness has is that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. So when I hear what the Spirit of Christ is ministering to you, He is preparing you to be a true witness of the things which you have both heard, seen, looked upon, things He has shown you, the things you bear witness to, and you declare and you have fellowship with, the things that causes men’s hearts to be full of joy and the things that pertain to God who is light. And when you’re ministering, you will see those things as you minister. They will bear witness to you and to those who hear you. You are not done yet. There is more. God is preparing your heart. For it’s the preparations in the heart of man and the answer of the tongue is of the Lord.

I’ll say one more thing. You can tell that it’s not the hand of a man because God says no one taketh this honor unto himself but he that’s ordained of God. Do you know even Paul who had the Damascus encounter when he was about to persecute the saints of God and then he was struck blind. God had to get one who could hear Him to go to Paul. Paul had the call in him. Paul heard the voice of the Master. But that call could not be released until two things happened. The first. God had to find somebody who would be obedient to give the person Paul a release. That’s the first one. So Ananias was revealed to Paul and Paul was revealed to Ananias. So there was no mistake. Paul saw Ananias coming and to lay his hands upon him that he may receive his sight. So Paul received sight by Ananias. That’s the first one. But a second one is in Acts 13 when there were prophets and teachers and ministers and apostles, five of them, of which Paul and Barnabus were among them. And they had fasted and prayed. Then the Holy Ghost said “separate unto me Paul and Barnabus for the word where unto I have called them.” So you are not going. God is sending you.

Pastor Ray shared…

I saw something. I was moving ahead and I came up against something like a barbed wire fence. It’s sharp and it’ll poke you and it’ll stop you. But I actually went through it with no problem. I don’t know how to describe it. I went right on through the fence. I felt like I pulled into, not a gas station, where you can get regular, diesel, medium, premium. I think I pulled into [the station] for some jet fuel today. Ha, ha, ha.

Barb shared…

I just wanted to say that I didn’t have an intention to pray for Ray today. I always wait for the unction. There was an unction and it wasn’t on that. It was on something else when I got up. But when I stepped out in that unction, that came. A lot of times I don’t want to pray about things. So the Lord and I are talking while I’m praying. I’m like, “Lord, you know, I don’t want to say that.” He’s like, “Okay, I need you to speak that.” So the Lord and I wrestle a lot up here in the front, but He eventually gets what He wants. But it’s about waiting for the unction and anointing. Then the Holy Ghost moves and the power is there and the flow of the Spirit. Anyway I just wanted you to know that, that wasn’t pre-planned. It’s just flowing with the Holy Ghost.

Pastor Paul added…

It bears witness. When you were praying and I was listening to your tongues, I just sensed we were pressing through a barricade and Ray just confirmed it. Pressing through a barricade to release what God has placed in your life.
