♪ chains are broken… oh, in the name of Jesus… those things are gone… gone… shaken off… setting the captives free… such liberty… shaken off… turn it over, turn it over, turn it over… turn, turn, turn… it’s a door, it’s a door… marching, marching, marching into the… the highway, highway… all the way… time, time, time… stay close… order, order, order… higher, higher… ♪
Word…
More and more of My church are about to go through the next door. And that’s the open door of My Spirit being poured out upon the whole body of Christ, My body. And it’ll enable the church to shake out, shake off and remove themselves from the dust and the dirt and rise up in authority and command and demand—this is the way it shall be! And it shall be, saith the Lord. And it is coming to pass. In churches, ministers that have said “tongues are of the devil” will speak in other tongues. Those that have said, “That shall not come near me,” it shall overtake them! And My power, My precious Holy Spirit, fresh baptism of the Holy Ghost with fire. My fire will spread out into territories that in these days, they’re worshiping some other God, but they shall turn and they shall change and they shall be rearranged. For their eyes, they shall be opened unto Me, saith the Lord. And My Spirit and the anointing will begin to guide them through and bring them with others too.
Prayed…
With the authority we’ve been given, we brush off and cleanse and put that blood over there…
We take the steps in love and shake ourselves into the new
Instead of the status quo and those things, Ho!… that hold the church down and back
The church is rising up and going ahead
Word…
And so you see in this day, preparations going forth of and by My Spirit through My church, the church which is My body. Great activities in the earth. Oh discerning and understanding the time and the season in which we live. Preparation, preparation, preparation, discerning and understanding the times. And you’ll see it come suddenly upon the church in a new and a fresh way. Those doors again. Once again, Father, those doors… going through, all the way through. Stepping through into the new. New operations. New manifestations. New demonstrations of My Spirit, saith the Lord.
And some will say they don’t even pay attention to things around them. But they give the earnest heed unto Him and unto His Word and unto the leading of the Spirit. And in that leading, there shall be guidance for thee, guiding you in the last days. How to navigate. How to negotiate these days which are ahead. So trust in Me. Rest in Me. Receive My peace, the empowerment of My Spirit and you shall see the glory of God manifested through thee.

I see that. Just a portion of that vision that Tommy Hicks had with the giant, which was the church, beginning to shake off and beginning to rise up and take its place. And when that giant, when the church, began to shake itself, debris, junk, lies, whatever… I’m paraphrasing. Began to run off. And the church rose up in all of its glory. And the glory of God began to be poured out all over the earth as liquid light. And those that would come into the Lord, they would go out and they’d bring that light, that liquid light would be with them and they’d bring that to those that have never heard and those that have never accepted the Lord. So the glory of God…
Mary began to sing about the glory…
♪ It’s Your glory, Lord… showing forth Your goodness to all… ♪
♪ Holy Spirit, we acknowledge You… we reverence Your presence here in this place… we’re dependent on You… You are all we need… we lean into You more and more today… we need You more to day… Holy Spirit, come have Your way… in us… today… ♪
♪ We need You more than yesterday… more than words can say… we need You more than ever before… we need You more, we need You more… ♪
♪ Come spend time with Me… come and rest, just rest in Me and you will see… clearer and clearer and clearer… stronger and stronger… you will be as you lean into Me, each and every day… He’s calling… come and come and come unto Me… just come, just come… come and rest in My presence… keep coming… keep drawing nearer still… fresh oil from heaven… fresh oil, oh the flowing fresh oil… oh each time you come, how refreshing… ♪
Word came forth…
And I will answer you. I will answer you. You will hear My voice. And you will be sure and you will know and you will be confident. That you are led by My Spirit. When you seek Me, when you seek after Me, I am here. I am here. I am here. I am here. I am here. Don’t fear. Don’t draw back. Don’t resist the voice of My Spirit but respond, respond as I call to you. I’m reaching, I’m reaching for you. I’m reaching out to you. So respond, respond. And you will know, you will know My power. You will know My peace. You will know My strength. You will know My goodness. Oh. You will. The dreams that you have in your heart, I have put them there. And I will bring them to pass. I will bring them to pass. You will not be disappointed.
Every disappointment, Go! Leave! It’s over. Finished. Completed. The church. It seems like the Holy Spirit is just magnifying and illuminating the body today. For restoration, for wholeness, where those things, those rivers were divided, that they turn, turn in the right ways and unite together again. One body. It’s miraculous. Supernatural.
Prayed…
Every stream, every pastor… all the sheep… for change… in the body… for all the new… my joy, my peace, my strength…
We trust You, Lord
Steps… some kind of steps… we cover those steps for the body to be lifted, to raise up, to come up
Take the high standard of Christ Jesus
Push those things aside and roll on into My strength and My power and My anointing!
My word has not changed and will not change.
But some have read it, resisted it, and changed it.
But I’ve not changed. My Word has not changed.
So stand firm, stand strong and rest… it’s a resting
A lifting, a lifting… weights. You got to go! Go! Get off! Get away!
Hindrances, leave! In Jesus’ name
♪ Take a seat at the table… take your seat at the table. Sit down, take your rest. Sit down at the table. Quit running here and there. Take your place at the table. I’ve set it for you. It’s time to partake at the table of grace. Sit down. Sit down at the table. Sit down. My plans are at the table. My plan for you is at the table. Come to the table and receive. Don’t me moved away from Me. No distractions. No desires to pull you off your place. Come to the table and stay. ♪

When you said “take your place,” I see us pulling up the chair, coming to the table. But when you said, “the plans of God are there,” I saw blueprints galore. And there were individual blueprints, all concerning individual plans that He in heaven drew them up for us. He created them for us. But in every plan, every room, every hallway, every step, each one led unto Him. It’s a different perspective on a house or building. We go into the house, we go into the building and that’s it. But these blueprints continually led to more of Him and His presence, direction, power, the anointing.

This morning I turned on the TV to check out the world. I put on the news and across the screen I saw the letters “faith.” This was national news. Not a Christian station. They put up the scripture Phil. 4:6–7. They had a pastor who had a book about peace in the middle of a storm. He went through Phil. 4:6–7 on the morning news. “Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything.” Do not fret. No anxiety. About anything. That’s carefree, isn’t it? But in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition and definite requests with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. Verse 7, and God’s peace shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot or whatever that is, that peace which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
This is from the book Reese Howells, Intercessor. When there was a need for him, his words were “first need, first claim.” That was it. There was a need first. And then next, claim. In other words, pray. Confess the Word about it. Get with Him. Let Him take over. We need that. He said when things were rough and he didn’t know how it would turn out, he said in his extremity would be God’s opportunity. That’s how he looked at it. If it was an extreme situation that he didn’t know how it would work out, he chose to see it was an opportunity for God to bring the answer. A lot of times it was finances.
If you’ve never read this book, you can get it in the bookstore. He did so much over his lifetime. One of the biggest things he did, he came against the devil spirit that was operating through Hitler. Day after day, they had a prayer group and they’d come against that spirit and call it down. They didn’t have cell phones or the media. But they had Him. What they said in prayer, they would read it printed out in the newspapers. They kept at it and had victory. That’s what we’re doing.
Prayer for the United States and President
Father, in the name of Jesus and according to your Word, we pray for those in authority in our nation. We lift up President Donald Trump, his family, his staff, and cabinet members. Let Your Word cling to them, and let them not depart from Your plan. Strengthen them with mighty power by Your Spirit to stand against wickedness, lies, and deception. Guide President Trump’s decisions; let Your light shine upon his path and show him the path of reversal for every evil way. Continually surround him with godly men and women who impart wise counsel to him. Cause the way of the wicked to be set to confusion and come to nothing. Deliver us from the traps and snares the enemy has laid for us, and let the wicked be caught in their own devises and be brought to shame. We take authority over the plots and plans of the enemy against this nation. Let prideful and lying lips be silenced in Jesus’ name. Slanderers will not be established in America. We pray for our congress, our supreme court, our military leaders, and our intelligence agencies. Let the wisdom that is from above reign in this nation and be constantly speaking to our leaders. We exercise the authority You have given us to tread down all the power of the enemy. We cast down and demolish imaginations and arguments that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God, and we bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. We bind spirits of strife and division, civil wars and tumults, spirits of hostility, lawlessness and blasphemy, and fires from hell that have burned in our cities.
We speak grace and peace over America. We pray and believe for the voice of truth, salvation, revival, and restoration to be proclaimed and heard across our land. Grant unto your servants everywhere that with all boldness we may speak your Word. We pray for a mighty outpouring of your Spirit with signs, wonders, and miracles. We expect the wisdom of this world that is earthly, sensual, and devilish to depart and vanish until Your mighty work in America becomes a beacon of hope for all people everywhere. We expect the voice of rejoicing to be heard in our nation for your goodness, mercy, and prosperity in Jesus’ name, Amen.
