Pastor Ray prays and shares…
We lift up Your name. We worship You. Thank You for what You did for each one of us on the cross. We’re able to go through by the blood You shed. Delivered. Made free. Healed. Made whole. Restored. Renewed. Strengthened. Jesus… Jesus… Jesus.
I like this verse John 7:37–38. Jesus had a feast. It says, “Now on the final and most important day of the Feast, Jesus stood, and He cried in a loud voice, If any man is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink! 38 He who believes in Me [who cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me] as the Scripture has said, From his innermost being shall flow [continuously] springs and rivers of living water.” (Amp.) That river of living water does not flow if there is not a connection, if we do not continuously drink of Him. Trust in Him. Rely on Him. Worship Him. Lift Him. Magnify Him. These things make the flow of the spring of living water continuous. Hallelujah!
I have a testimony. Yesterday, Sandy had a sales rep come to the bookstore. This rep was fired up about the Lord. He’s in a Baptist church, but it’s a Spirit-filled Baptist church. He was there for three hours. He was talking about the things of the Lord. He had a testimony from someone in their church. First of all, the pastor is Spirit filled. He started teaching on being led by the Spirit. This man talking to Sandy said he went to the pastor and said, “I don’t think a lot of people in here know what you’re talking about… being led by the Spirit.” The Pastor was like, “Really? I just expected people knew about that.” So the next service the pastor had people raise their hands if they knew what being led of the Spirit meant. Six people raised their hands. The rest of them didn’t know what he was talking about.
So he started teaching on how to be led by the Spirit. A man in the church said one day he kept hearing in his spirit, “Call so and so.” He was a super-organized type of person. He has everything laid out what he’s going to do and he had all these different things that he had to do that day. So he kind of pushed it off. It kept coming back to him. Finally, he said, “Okay, I’m just going to call him up.” So he dialed his number and the phone rang and rang and rang and then it stopped. There was no voice mail. He dialed it back up again. It started ringing and then suddenly a voice goes, “Hello.” He said, “I was wondering if you’d like to get together some time. Maybe we could go get some coffee or something.” The man said, “How about in 20 minutes.” So they met somewhere and had coffee together. They spent like two hours together.
He said when the man came in, he was so down. He just built him up. If you’re filled up and stirred up, those rivers of living water will flow out. And a lot of times, we don’t know what to say but we just open up our mouths. And by the Spirit, we just are led, directed. So he said by the time the man left, he seemed more happy. They both went on about their business.
Two years later, he came across that man in church. The man said, “I never really told you what was happening when you tried to get ahold of me. When you called my house, I had a rope around my neck and I was going to hang myself. My phone rang and rang and rang. Then it stopped. Then it started ringing again.” He thought, “Oh forget it.” He took the rope off his neck. He said, “I didn’t want to leave this earth all ‘nerved up’ because the phone was ringing. So he answered that call. And just that one meeting set him on a course. When he got back home, he got rid of the rope. Something had changed in him by the spirit. And it set him back on his course. Like I said, he was talking to him two years later. His life was in order. He was a Bible member of the church, doing what God had called him to do. Don’t you love it? Right at the second. And what if he hadn’t dialed the phone again! Now Miss Pam has a great testimony to share.

Pastor Kent is hosting a missions trip in the Philippines. It’s the children from this church that will be doing all the ministry. On the way over, one of the girls had her appendix rupture. She had to have emergency surgery over there. Pastor Kent said the care was excellent. He was impressed. The children from this church support an orphan over there so they had to not only get to their destination which was a long trip but to go even further from there. But they had to stay back with this little girl in the hospital that had the surgery. I just talked to him a couple days ago, and he said they’re getting the whole hospital saved! The doctors. One of the head doctors wrote a note to the nurses and other doctors to “go see Pastor Kent. He has something to tell you.” And the message was “You all need to get saved.” So it’s all exciting and the little girl is doing really well. She’s in the wheelchair and she wants to minister to the kids. Whatever was meant for her harm, God has turned it around and they’re going to have a great testimony. I can’t wait to hear all the neat things that have happened. So we have a great group of kids coming up. This generation is great. It’s glorious.

♪ Thank You, Lord, Your light is growing brighter… Hallelujah… Your light is growing brighter… ♪
I keep getting this word and I don’t know what it means. We’ll just lift it up in the spirit. I keep getting the word “delay.” I don’t think it’s something contrary to the realm of the spirit. I think it is divine, it seems like. Father, we lift that word up. You said if we didn’t know how to pray as we should that we are to pray in the spirit. (praying in the spirit) You give wisdom for it. I see it now. In the name of Jesus Christ, the name above every name, we do proclaim delays in the enemy’s plan. In Jesus’ name! Divine delays, in Jesus’ name. Delays, delays, delays… You confound it, Lord. Those plans, You confound them, You delay them. Delay, delay, delay it, Lord!
Father, we trust You. We lift the pastors on this earth. We lift them up and undergird them. We ask You to strengthen them in their inner man by Your Spirit. We declare that Your name is above discouragement. Your name is far, far, far above the name of discouragement. And we command that name down, in Jesus’ name. We thank You for divine visitation from the Holy Ghost. In the night visions, cause them to rise by the power of Your Spirit. They arise because of Your great name. We speak Your name—Jesus—in that situation. The name of Jesus dispels the darkness.
