Prayer Summary for June 16

The following excerpt was taken from The Believers Authority Legacy Edition by Kenneth E. Hagin:

Authority in Prayer

[Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin taught this message at RHEMA Bible Church on February 19, 2001, during Winter Bible Seminar.-Ed.]

In teaching on prayer for so many years, I always take two Bible texts. The reason I choose these two for my main texts is because I don’t believe there are any better. These two texts will cover anything you want to teach on the subject of prayer.

The first text I use is Ephesians 6:18, where Paul is writing to the believers at Ephesus.

EPHESIANS 6:18
“Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.”

The second text is Jesus speaking in John’s Gospel.

JOHN 15:7
“If ye abide in me [Jesus] and MY WORDS abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.”

This verse is all-inclusive, because Jesus said “My words.” Therefore, any word the Bible teaches on the subject of prayer is included in John 15:7.

If Jesus had just said, “If you abide in Me,” we Christians would automatically have it made because we all abide in Him as believers. But Jesus added, “and My words abide in you.”

Have you ever noticed that many of God’s promises are conditional? If you want to enjoy the results thereof, you have to meet the conditions! No one can meet the conditions for you; you have to do that for yourself. Now other people can encourage you to meet the conditions, but no one can meet them for you. Even Jesus Himself can’t do it for you. If you want answers to your prayers, follow the instructions that have been given to you: If you abide in Jesus, and His words abide in you, you shall ask what you will and it shall be done unto you.

I want to reiterate something that I have been saying for many, many years. Notice that the word “you” is in that one little verse five times. This repetition denotes the fact that whether or not your prayers are heard and answered depends more on you than it does on God.

How could that be? Well, God has told you how to get your prayers heard and answered, so if you don’t do what He’s said, you’re not going to get them answered. It’s up to you!

We certainly believe in prayer all right. But there are conditions that have to be met in order for our prayers to be answered: “If you abide in Me and My words abide in you …. ”

Prophetic Utterance:
There is a place in prayer that mighty few have ever entered into.
If you would take more time to wait on Me, saith the Lord,
And to pray in the Spirit, you’d move into a higher realm.
Too many are walking in the soulish realm
And are seeking God from the soulish standpoint.
But they need to learn that there is a spirit world,
And that there is a spirit realm,
And that God is a Spirit,
And that He is the Father of Spirits,
And that man is a spirit!
And his spirit is in contact with the great, mighty Holy Father.
The great, mighty Holy Spirit can commune
Spirit to spirit.

Prophetic Utterance:
Yea, yea, there is a place in Him.
There is a place in the secret of the Most High.
There is a place in communion with the Father
Whereby He speaks to your spirit,
And whereby your spirit pleads with Him.
There is a realm of glory that most have not entered into.
For He is the God of glory.
And His glory shall be made manifest unto you.
And His glory shall be seen upon you.
And His glory shall be manifest in your prayer life.
And the glory of the Lord,
The glory of the Lord shall appear unto many.
And there shall be gladness of heart.
And there shall be singing.
And there shall be glory

I know You’ve called us, Lord. I know You’ve anointed us and I know that anointing is not ever going to be taken away. I know the call is always there. It’s like Your voice continually saying come unto Me. All the time, every time, 24/7 calling, calling us upward, calling us ahead out, maybe from wherever we’ve been. Thank You, Father.

The following prophecy was given by Kenneth Copeland on March 9, 2013 at the Branson Victory Campaign:

“You Will Develop by the Hour”

“My property that has been Mine,” saith The LORD, “since the day Jesus was raised from the dead, is now being gathered up by My angels, and My dominating WORD is in operation right now—changing all of these assets and properties and bringing them over into the hands of those who will sow and believe beyond themselves. There’s never been a time like it before now, and there never will be a time like it again until the catching away of the Church. You’ve entered into it. But now you read in My WORD tonight the key. You take heed what you hear. For the way you measure it, it will be measured back to you.

“So make sure,” saith The LORD, “that you develop and incline ears to hear My voice, My ways, My kingdom, to the point that everything you do, every waking hour of your life, has to do with the kingdom of God. Because everything that you do, every waking and sleeping hour of your life, has to do with Me,” saith The LORD Jesus.

“I’m your LORD 24 hours a day. I never take a vacation from My love for you and your future. Stay with Me. You’ll be glad you did. THE BLESSING is the place to be. Not heaven, not yet. Oh, it’ll seem like heaven because it’ll be like days of heaven on earth. Those days have already begun. Some of you are experiencing it now. Some more than others. But rejoice, because I have stepped things up. They are moving faster than ever before, and you will develop—not in years, not in months, not in weeks. You will develop by the hour as you walk and live with Me. You’ll be knowing things six weeks from now that you never dreamed you’d ever know before. I am The LORD your God. I AM THAT I AM,” saith The LORD. “Amen.”

A Word of the Lord came forth:

Give and it shall be given unto you. Depending on the way you give is the way it shall be given back unto you and me. Depending on how we approach it. Depending on how our hearts connect to the giving and we read that right here. The way you measure it, it will be measured back and the word says, the Holy Spirit says, we’ve entered into it. Say “I have entered into extravagant wealth.” Ha! Ha! Ha! “Extravagant Health and an abundance of seeing and a lot of knowing for from heaven above it shall be on this earth for me.” Ha! Ha! Ha! Hallelujah. We receive that.

Not so we can just go around and show off but so we can show up and bring about great change wherever we go. That when we show up, God shows up and His extravagance shows out through us bringing the blessing to others we come in contact with. Hallelujah!

So make sure, saith the Lord, that you develop and incline your ears to hear My voice, My ways, My kingdom, to the point that everything you do, every waking hour of your life has to do with the kingdom of God. Because everything that you do, every waking and sleeping hour of your life has to do with Me, saith the Lord Jesus. I am Your Lord 24 hours a day. I never take a vacation from My love for you and your future.

Don’t you love it! Where are You, Lord? Are you on vacation? Ha, ha, ha! No. I never take a vacation from My love for you and your future. Stay with Me, you’ll be glad you did. The blessing is the place to be. Not heaven… oh, yet. It will seem like heaven because it will be like days of heaven on earth. Oh, by faith we step into it. By faith this morning we step out and step into days of heaven on earth! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Those days have already begun. Some of you are experiencing it now. Some more than others but rejoice because I have stepped things up. They are moving faster than ever before and you will develop not in years, not in months, not in weeks. You develop by the hour as you walk and live with Me. There is some developing going on… 3D, full color! Ha! Ha! Ha! You’ll be knowing things six weeks from now that you never dreamed you’d ever know before. I receive that by faith in Jesus’ name! Six weeks from today. What’s the date today? The 16th of June.

Time is moving so quickly. March just came. February before that and now we are in June but July is on the way. Ha! Ha! Ha! So, by the end of July we could say we will begin to experience things that we never dreamed before. Whooooo! Halleluiah! Halleluiah, Lord! Thank You! Thank You in advance! Stepping out of the old and into the new!! Abundance! Abundance! Abundance! You’ll be knowing things six weeks from now that you never dreamed you’d ever know before. I am the Lord Your God. I am that I am saith the Lord. Amen! Jesus is Lord! Jesus is Lord!

Prayed…

We pray that we would be softer to Your presence – more yielded
We honor and magnify You, Lord – waiting in Your presence
Lifting up our voices by faith reverencing You
Without faith it is impossible to please You
We love You, who You are and what You have already won
Strength from internal joy You have given us – walking in it today
In You we believe to abide, trust, and receive from heaven here on earth in Jesus’ name
Nothing is impossible with You!
You are an extravagant Father with extravagant answers to the prayers we pray
Assignments that have gone out – knowing where You have called us and all the steps to take
Your Word is strength and health to our bodies, our families, our churches, and all positions of authority
Pleading the precious blood of the Lamb over them all

Pastor Ray shared…

Yesterday when I read that excerpt about asking extravagantly, the first thing that came to me was that this building would be paid in full but not just paid off but that everything would be restored. When you take care of the house of God and the house of God is paid off… what about Your house paid off, paid in full! Ask the extravagant Father extravagantly, you know. Where just thinking on it right now.

So watch over the words that you speak concerning the future and the direction of your feet. Even though you can’t see it today, even though you haven’t touched it yet today, keep speaking it forth and it shall come your way. As we read today, things have already turned and many things are on the way and some are already experiencing things that are heaven on earth.

Continued praying…

Things that were stolen they shall be replaced – restored in Jesus’ name
Permanent changed – never to go back and never to come back
Paradigm shift!
Gaining territory – praying over the paths and the destinies
Increase every day and every way

Pastor Ray shared…

Relationships! That keeps coming up in my heart, relationships. Seems like some where stolen, broken, severed but they shall be replaced. And it shall be better than it ever was before. For these are different days, different hours, different times that we are living in that are necessary to pray words that are for these days, for these hours, for these seasons that we are living in right now.

So you could not have done what you’ve been called to do with some of those connections that were back then. So keep looking up and keep expecting… some relationships will be replaced by better, by greater and it will help and assist you to go further to the places you’ve been called to go all along. Ooooh! Ha! Ha! Ha! Thank You, Lord!

Transitioning from one way to another. I have this just kind of coming up… restoring better than it was before. I don’t know what ministry this would be or where it is but it seemed like the director or the leader or the one that was you know the head of the ministry… the one that was the head was exiting and it was bringing about great turmoil in the ministry. I don’t know who it is. And so the people are in turmoil. The people are all stirred up not knowing what will be next, not knowing if there is a next, not knowing what the future would be. But the Spirit of God is saying today as we touched that restoration way, heaven on earth in these days, the power and the presence and the direction of the Holy Spirit will bring, it will be another direction but it will be a shift up into more of the glory of God from above! And the one that’s been prepared they shall come forth and shall take the office and they will take it to another degree of glory of God and everything will work out just right! For the plan and the purpose and the blueprint was already made and it shall come to pass, we declare it by the blood and in the name that is above every name, Jesus.

Continued praying…

Praying over all the transitions
We prepare ahead with the blood the steps that will move in the right direction
Greater cooperation, greater move of the Spirit
Spirit of seeing and Spirit of knowing
The body of Christ shall rise up and go through
It will never stay the same!
As our eyes open wider, we will see clearer
Thank You for Your manifest presence over the body
Encouraging, equipping, and being made whole
Restoration of the body parts and unifying the body
Binging some things together that were never together before
Connections – communications
(Let’s be still for 5 minutes and think on these things)

Continued praying…

Father, we do wait on You
Serving You, loving You, all of our trust is in You
We need You and we know You need us to be Your hands and feet on this earth
Thank You that You made it to be this way
We give You all the honor, glory, and praise in Jesus’ name
