Prayed…

Jesus, we love You more and more because there is always more of You
Turns, changes, revelation, insight, truth, help, direction
Thank You, Father
We worship honor and magnify You, Lord

Yesterday Florence was telling me about some ongoing changes. Maybe I will have you say just a couple thing, but this morning when I came in, I just felt to look up some different scriptures about change. I love that Pastor Mac is preaching on it. A lot of things are being said about it.

Scripture focus…

(18) “Do not [earnestly] remember the former things; neither consider the things of old. (19) Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. (20) The beasts of the field honor Me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I give waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, My chosen, (21) The people I formed for Myself, that they may set forth My praise [and they shall do it].” Isaiah 43:18–19 (AMPC)

(17) “Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come! (18) But all things are from God, Who through Jesus Christ reconciled us to Himself [received us into favor, brought us into harmony with Himself] and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation [that by word and deed we might aim to bring others into harmony with Him].” II Corinthians 5:17 (AMPC)

(23) “And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude], (24) And put on the new nature (the regenerate self) created in God’s image, [Godlike] in true righteousness and holiness.” Ephesians 4:23–24 (AMPC)

Florence shared…

Two weeks ago this past Sunday, we were here in the chapel and Pastor Ray prayed for me. I was down for the longest time. I am not sure but maybe 15 or 20 minutes. And all this time, something was happening in me. I sensed it, I felt it, I knew it because after I had struggled with the Holy Spirit and I finally let go of my being right. Actually let me say what it was. I was not offended but I had been wronged, and I knew that I had been wronged and I was right. I wanted this other person to just say “forgive me” so the relationship can go on, move on. But no, they just wanted to be in their spot. You know it’s up to you. That really hurt me and I was heartbroken because even after presenting the facts, no, they did not want to accept responsibility. So that really hurt me. It didn’t hurt me, it broke my heart. I was just a very sad, sad woman. But Pastor prayed for me and I went under the Spirit. Well this is what I was troubling with, because the Spirit told me that I had “no right to be right. You need to let go.” I said “Lord, I do not understand and You don’t empathize, You don’t know what I am going through, You say You know.” And I was just arguing with the Lord here. I said “You should be on my side. You don’t know what I have gone through and suffered and I have forgiven. I have forgiven but it’s just hard to let go. It’s hard until they come to realize what they did… but no, that’s not the way the Lord works because while we were yet sinners, He died for us. He didn’t say you have to know that you are a sinner so that I can forgive you. No, He just died for us even while we didn’t even know what He had done. It was just so hard. The love of God, you cannot love anybody by your own self. He has to shed His love abroad in your heart.

So that’s what happened right there. When I let go I said “Ok Lord, my mind doesn’t understand, my emotions don’t understand this but I am going to have to let go.” So I did and that’s when I felt the peace of God flood through my whole being. And so I not only felt the peace but then there was a joy, such a joy. I can’t explain it. You know you can’t explain the joy of the Lord.

This is what I was telling Pastor Ray yesterday. I said if you had asked me on Monday “What happened yesterday?” I don’t think I could have told you what happened but I would have known I had a lot of joy. And I would have known I had a lot of peace. And I would have known that my perspective… The situation had not changed, but my perspective toward that person had changed. I was beginning to feel… It’s funny because one lady had told me that when she was struggling about the love of God for other people and she struggled a lot, this lady mentored me. She said one time she was sitting and praying and she could see in the Spirit waves like electricity coming into her and finally when it was all done she had so much love, so much love. So when you hear that you think maybe that’s the way God is going to do the same with me. Mine was different. It wasn’t those waves I felt but I felt something deep in my belly, just rumblings in my tummy. I can’t explain it. But anyway, my perspective changed.

Every single day I see the way I react to things, the way I react to people… it’s just different. The desire I have for the Word of God is…. The way I want His presence is something I cannot explain. It’s just ongoing. It’s so real. I mean the ongoing change that I feel in my walk with the Lord right now, and I have been a Christian 30 plus years and so I have seen a different aspect, different ways the Lord will minister. I have been to meetings, I have ministered, people have laid hands on me but this is different. This is a change that I cannot explain and it’s ongoing. It’s just an ongoing thing like every day you wake up God is opening a different chapter. It’s like you are seeing a different part of a flower, you know something just beautiful. It’s a good walk in the Lord.

And so this is what I believe for every single one of us. You open yourself to the Lord. You hunger His presence and you will see a change in your life that will not stop. It will be ongoing. It will be ongoing. See we learn a little bit of the Lord every time. If you ask Pastor Ray who has known the Lord for a very long time but I am sure he is learning something new about the Lord every day. And if you consider the things of old, you will not go forth into the new things. You need to forget the way you knew the Lord ten years ago. He is evolving. He never changes in His wisdom, in His principles, in what the basics of God don’t change but the way He is doing things these days is different. And so you cannot consider what happened last year. It is going to be so different. It’s going to be so different. He is building His Church and I am telling you the gates of Hell will not prevail, will not prevail. He is building His Church and who is His Church? It’s not this building. He is building you and me. We are the living stones in the Church. He is building us and it says when you face the Devil, he will not prevail. The things of the enemy this time, this time around should not prevail. The little things that are besetting you, the problems that were disturbing you yesteryears should not be disturbing you right now. You should be a different person every single day. Now that is what change is. Change means every single day you are evolving, you are changing into the image of Christ. Amen. Because that is when He is going to come when we are completely formed into the Image of His Son. He is coming for a Holy Church. He is coming for those who look like His Son. Amen.

I am so believing for me and for every one of you that it’s not going to be the same again (ha, ha, ha). Hallelujah! The old is gone. The new is here. Let’s walk into the new by faith. It’s by faith. He is going to tell you to do things that you have never done. Now if you go into your mind and start thinking that you have never seen this being done. Well hello, you will continue to stay in the pew. But if you agree with the Spirit of the Lord, He is going to go with you. See Peter, when he walked on water, when he started considering the waves and all those things he considered. Like nobody has ever walked on water. How am I doing this and you know even maybe he had the disciples in the boat saying “Peter, you are out of your mind.” So, even your own family might tell you that you are out of your mind. You are not out of your mind. And anyway you will be out of your mind, you will be in the mind of the Spirit, right? We just have to go with the flow. Go with the Spirit.

You know what it requires? It requires a boldness on your part. It requires a no fear of man. If you have to walk with the Spirit, you don’t fear man. Just focus your eyes on Him who called you. You are the Church. You are the living stone. You are the light of the world. You are the salt of the earth. And so we don’t salt each other. We don’t shine light on each other. We go out there and we shine the light and that’s where we are going to see the miracles. That’s where, out there. That’s where He is going to tell you what you need to do and you will be completely out of your mind as you go and do those things and I will wait to hear what the Lord is doing with you (ha, ha, ha).

Continued praying…

Than You, Father, for new ideas
You are doing a new thing, going into new areas
Praying out and sending out light in unexpected places

Annie led us singing about the blood…

Continued praying…

We lift up all these new things before heaven today
New because we have never experienced them before
New steps, new revelation, covered in the blood
Stepping into the new by faith
Sent from heaven from me and you—walking in the new
Now! By the blood of Jesus
It’s like we are skipping into the new
Stepping out and stepping into the new
It’s fresh—it smells good, sounds good; it is good!
New times, stepping into more
Expanding our expectation for the new
Not the same old, same old
No longer boxed in because of the way it was
We have been made to walk in victory because of the blood
We overcome because you overcame
Rain, rain, rain from heaven
Overcoming obstacles—stepping however we need to but we are going through
Dispensing the anointing of God
Calling those things that have not moved for years
Calling for the change, like a shift, turn a lifting
Translating to—suddenly and then more and more and more
The Church is getting on fire
New revelation new insight
Made free, fee, free, free
Free at last! Free at last!
Some things we do not have a name yet because we do not have the full revelation
Leaning over and out—cover all of the new
Turn, turn, turn
We pray over those steps, every direction covered by the blood
Up into another one, stepping up into another one
Money, stepping into the resources
Its harvest time—new ways, steps
Doors that have been open but the Church has not stepped through
It’s TIME!
We prepare it by our words
Restored and made whole
We lift up the mission—aid, help, and assistance from heaven
For greater signs and wondrous things
Up over and through into the new
Steady in our walk and in our talk, what we yield to
Many new opportunities
The lies of the enemy will be uncovered to a greater degree
Over the Internet, news media or wherever you are
We hold the blood against you—the truth shall be exposed
You are leading us into the truth more and more
Greater revelation about the truth of Your Word
Operations of the Spirit may be manifesting in the natural
Bringing about healing, wellness, change
Supernatural, it is so supernatural operations by the Spirit
Worries, cares, fear—bye bye
We have been set free by the blood we overcome through the blood of Jesus
Effortless change by the blood
Change has been won through the blood
It is flowing through us as we flow into the new
Thank You for all the new today
Mercies are new today
Our hearts are beating our minds are strong and our bodies are whole
We testify about it
The work was completed at Calvary and we receive it by faith
Thank You, Father, Hallelujah
