Prayer Summary for Thursday, March 05, 2015

John 16:7, “Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.” Advantage. Some translations translate it as expedient. One says it is imperative. It’s absolutely imperative that I go. If you’re going to get what I have, I have to go. John 14:15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever…” That word “another” means one besides, another of the same kind. The word shows similarities but diversities of operations and ministries. Jesus’ use for allos for sending another comforter equals one besides Me and in addition to Me. But one just like Me. He will do in My absence what I would do if I was physically present with you. The Spirit’s coming assures continuity with what Jesus did and taught. It means there is no breakdown. There was no dividing line. That means when Jesus went up, He came down and there’s a continuity of ministry. And it’s to be delivered through the Church of the Living God. And the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, the same Spirit, different similarities, diversities of operations, one besides Me and equal to Me dwells in you. The Helper. The Holy Spirit. The one who reveals, unveils, discloses and transmits the things of the Father to you. The same Spirit that was in Jesus is the same Holy Ghost that is raising the Church to a new level that is bringing us up in every way and every dimension and bringing us from glory to glory to glory for one purpose—for harvest.

Jerre’s daughter-in-law, Heather, put a picture on Facebook of the book “How to Be Led by the Spirit.” That’s my favorite book. Here Romans 8:14 says, “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” Being led. I like the Message translation of this verse: “So don’t you see that we don’t owe this old do-it-yourself life one red cent. There’s nothing in it for us, nothing at all. The best thing to do is give it a decent burial and get on with your new life. God’s Spirit beckons. There are things to do and places to go!” Don’t you love it? The Church is called up, even people in the world are waiting for the Church to rise up and speak in this hour and day. What they’re saying is the Church needs to rise up and take its place. We agree. We want to. But we can’t do it in our own strength… the old “do it yourself” deal. But the Holy Spirit is in us and He is directing and leading us every day. It’s not about, you know, the “sea parts” or “the curtains are pulled back” telling us “This is what you should do.” Most of the time, it’s the still small voice. If the Lord had to pound us on the head and say, “Wake up. I’m going to tell you what to do,” that’s not being led. That’s being directed. To me, being led is like when we’re praying in the Spirit and we see something and we start praying along that line and when we speak something out, someone else will say, “That’s what I had.” He said He’ll lead us into all truth. I had a leading this morning to ask Miss Jerre to share about some things she observed when she was gone these past two weeks.

We had the privilege to attend meetings at brother Keith Moore’s church. It was so awesome to hear brother Copeland. Today I read in his magazine that at Eagle Mountain there has been a breakout of the gifts of the Spirit and the presence of the Lord. When the ministry of the Holy Spirit is allowed to flow… ahhh… Anyway, the first meeting was about prosperity. Then Brother Keith got up and talked about the blessing that is coming, the inversion. Then they were almost done and his last verse came out and it was “I will be a channel of the blessing and I’ll let it flow through me.” The inversion is to flow through. Then one of the other meetings, brother Copeland got up and he moved in the Spirit realm and he had words of knowledge and words of wisdom and healings and it was just thrilling. When the Holy Ghost moves, it’s thrilling. You want to be there. He was so full of God. The thing that he said that I liken it to an arrow in my heart, he was talking about the blessing. He said, “What is the Gospel anyway?” In my mind, the Gospel is “confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and you shall be saved.” But he said the Gospel is returning to the blessing and the Garden of Eden. That aligns with “heaven on earth” but that takes the knowledge of God and knowing that He’s inside of us and that we have dominion, that we’ve been given that resurrection power through the name of Jesus. So the Gospel is returning to the Garden of Eden. I’m still meditating on that and when I tell people, it’s hard for them to wrap their minds around that. But heaven on earth, the sons of God arising, all creation wanting that place that we have been given in Him. Then the next night, he was talking about a prisoner that he sees and ministers to that was a serial killer, and how God changed that person’s life and how he just loves this person and prays for him. This great big love came in the room, kind of a mind-blowing love, way beyond what they should get or judgment… mercy triumphs over judgment and God changed this person. That person said he was more free in prison than he ever was out in the world. Then he started talking about praying for those in authority. Now we’ve got some praying to do for those in authority but we pray according to the Word. The Bible says we speak evil of no man. I’ll let that sink in a little bit. I’m guilty of it too. It also says to not speak evil of the governor. I saw this sign on the way home and it was a negative sign about someone. That captures them in the curse. But if we speak things that are not as though they were and start declaring and praying in authority for people in the love of God and creating the blessing… Then he went on to exhort us to pray for those in authority… and we’ve all done that. Then he said, “Has anybody ever prayed for the leadership of ISIS yet?” I’m like… wow. That opened up a whole new realm of how we speak and pray and how we declare according to the Word of God. It’s just something to think about and we as people of prayer, we obey God. There’s nothing worse than a person with the power of God in his life coming out of the prayer closet and “reaming” somebody. We have a job to do and we have a power resident on the inside of us to do it but we have to do it in the right way—according to the Word and the Spirit of God and with a great big love and not to be unwise. As Christians, we’re to be wise as a serpent but gentle as a dove.

New York city keeps coming up in my spirit, that we’re to send our supply of the Spirit to them. Let’s not put our interpretation on that to figure it out. Let’s just pray in the Spirit over the city. I’m reminded how revival started in New York by one man having noon prayer. What did he do? He followed the leading of the Holy Ghost and went to that upper room alone with Him. There’s fire, a place that was established back then in that city where the Spirit of God could rise and stir, revive and start it again. I’m not saying that it would be like the way it was, but it’ll be the Spirit of the living God.

Prayed…

Cover it with the blood
We pray for all the authorities there
Eyes to see and ears to hear… open it up
Was it not declared that in 2015 the door had already been opened for the Church to go through?
We pray over the churches in the city of New York and plead the blood of the Lamb over the pastors
Take it by force, by the blood to bring about a change in the city
Rise up and take it, rise up again
Times Square
The power of God moving across the city
In the offices, Wall Street, the restaurants, in the UN
We cover every building, every apartment
It can’t be held back but it will move through
We pray for fire and the rain
Revival in the city and restoration
The airports, the ports and waterways, the transportation, we cover them with the blood
Ministries and ministers to rise up and take a stand
There’s a call, callings
Take your seat and take your place and take the places
Places, places… even as New York city was marked by My Spirit so long ago, there are many more of those, many more that need to again arise, … so by the Spirit you go and take your place
Lord, I thank You that every single evil plot—big and small—would be uncovered in the name of Jesus
I thank You for an anointing upon the people of New York to be able to uncover the plots
Eyes to see and ears to hear to uncover anything that would seem off
Protection for the synagogues
Nothing missed and all be uncovered
We bind the strong man in the name of Jesus
You foul spirit of murder and hatred, we bind you in the name of Jesus Christ
Come to naught, those plans
Divine wisdom for those in authority
