Chapters
A pleasant good morning to everybody.
I'm certainly grateful that you're here, and I'm excited to share with you. You know, it's just been, um, impressed in my heart to get back to sharing some prayer time with you. I spend time with the Lord every morning myself, and you know, I can't really have a great day if I don't spend time with him. Matter of fact, I don't even want to be around other people until I've been around him. So I want to invite you into a little of what we do every morning. Glory to God! And share with you, uh, as long as Lord would lead us to do this and bring you into these 5 o'clock prayers. You know, the nation is in trouble. This week, a Black man, another Black man was publicly massacred on camera by a Caucasian police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota. That thing outraged me. It angered me. And I think some people had a problem with me expressing my anger publicly online. Well, that's okay if you have a problem with that, and if that offended you, I apologize. But at the end of the day, you know, I'm human. I have personally been wrestled to the ground by not one police officer, several police officers, and I was doing nothing wrong. And had the same thing happening to me, knees in my back, billy clubs being hitting me, a gun pointed at the back of my head, all because I was a Black man driving driving a nice car, got pulled over and was asked to step out of the vehicle, and everything went south from there. And it just really is a terrible country we live in when these things are tolerated and not brought under the subjugation of the justice system. So, you know, I was angry and I expressed my anger. And at the end of the day, I'm not pleased with it. I trust God. I'm not going to obey my flesh and retaliate. But, you know, I think some people could be so deep that, you know, I saw one person saying that we have to watch what we say on social media because our narratives create influence. Well, I've been influencing people for 30 years. And at the end of the day, part of my wisdom has been to influence through transparency. So, you know, again, whether people like or not my post, you know, it's my feelings. I was transparent. I was angry. And at the end of the day, I'm yet a man of God. And I've had conversation over the last several days with God about this. And I'm just praying that God will give me the right strategies and a wise voice to speak to these issues. I mean, this nation is suffering from COVID-19, is suffering from racism, is suffering from people dying of cancer, is suffering from division. You know, we have major issues. We got problems in our government at the highest levels. You know, and it's really prayer time. So I want to pray with you this morning. I'm not going to take up a lot of your time. We're going to pray and we're going to trust God that he will send healing to our land. This is a scripture you all know, but I want to read it and then we're going to pray on it. Okay. From 2 Chronicles 7 and verse number 14, you'll find these words.
It says, "If my people who are called by my name would humble themselves." and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then and only then will I hear from heaven and I will heal the land. So he says, if my people who are called by my name would humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from our wicked ways, he says, I'll hear from heaven and I'll heal the land. I challenge you today. Turn from your wicked ways. Humble yourself. Arrogance is not cute.
—come on—it's not handsome.
It's not pretty. Humble yourself. Understand that there is a God that's bigger than you. There's a God that's bigger than coronavirus.
There's a God that's bigger than hatred and racism. Humble yourself.
And then we need to pray. Pray here in this particular text simply means to ask God for solutions. The Hebrew word literally says, "Humble yourself and ask God for a solution." So this is where we are. We got to seek God for wise solutions on getting things changed in our country.
And pray and seek my face and turn from the wicked ways. Then I hear from heaven, I hear the land. I don't have time to break all those down, but we're going to pray this morning. Glory to God. Thank you for joining me for this time of prayer. And I hope that you'll be changed because you prayed with me today. I hope that your Friday will be better because you prayed with me today. Today is Friday, May 29th. And we're going to pray daily at 5 AM. So I want to invite you to join me Monday through Friday, every day at 5 AM for these apostolic prayers where we're going to bombard Heaven. And I'm looking for 1,000 intercessors to join me every day, Monday through Friday.
Glory to God for prayer, rising up early at 5 AM and praying with us live. And we're praying for our nation. We're praying that God will heal the land.
Hallelujah. Let's pray. Father, in Jesus' name, We thank you now for the opportunity to speak to you.
It's simple. Your word said in 2 Chronicles 7:14, "If my people." So we decree and declare, we come into agreement as your people. We believe that prayer is our earthly license for heavenly interference. And so, God, we're asking you now to interfere with the affairs that are taking place in the earth realm right now. God, we decree and declare, God, that you can eradicate coronavirus, and we declare that this disease is being eradicated by the power and by the glory of God. I decree and declare that you're making our world safe even as I pray, God. And I decree and declare, God, that you will cause this— listen, I'm decreeing and declaring now that by your supernatural power, you will superimpose the glory of Heaven, the power of Heaven on Earth. And yes, God, you would eradicate coronavirus in this earth in the Name of Jesus. We decree and declare it to be done now. And I say now, according to your Word, you said, "Whatsoever I loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven. Whatsoever we bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven." So I say now that COVID-19 is bound, and I declare it's bound in Heaven. And I loose healing in the Name of Jesus according to your Word. For healing and deliverance Deliverance is the children's bread. God, we invite your power into this planet, and we will give you glory for it now. In the mighty name, ooh, of Jesus, we do pray. Father, you said, "Whatsoever we loose on earth, again, it will be loosed in heaven. Whatsoever we bind on earth, it will be bound in heaven." We bind up racism and hatred in this country, God. It has to cease. There's an urgency now. A human life was taken by an officer that swore to protect life. And so, God, I'm asking in the name of Jesus, although this gentleman may have been wrong, he may have committed a crime, in the name of Jesus, God, we understand that there is— he was not to be sentenced to death on the street. So, God, I'm asking you, God, to loose peace even in Minnesota right now, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. God, let the spirit of agape rest heavy over that territory. And God, I'm asking you now for swift justice. And by your power, God, let your glory be revealed.
You said the law is for the lawless.
That Caucasian man, he dis— oh my God, he demonstrated lawlessness and iniquity at his highest level. So Father, in the name of Jesus, let him be prosecuted. Let him be placed in jail for his wrong acts. In the name of Jesus, I give you glory and honor and praise. We loose love. We loose love. God, help us to love one another. Help us to support one another. Help us to be on the same page. And Father, we'll give you the, the praise and the glory for it. And we thank you for it now in the mighty name of Jesus. We have the victory. Hallelujah. In Jesus' name. Amen. And thank God. Hallelujah. Well, I'm so grateful that you took the time to pray with us today. Whether you're watching us on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Periscope, listen, I'm looking for 1,000 intercessors to pray with us Monday through Friday. We're going to pray until we shake the place. The Bible says in the Book of Acts, "And when they had prayed, the place where they were was shaken." I want to and challenge you to join me so we can pray until we shake the place, until we shake coronavirus. Oh God, hallelujah, I feel Jesus right now. Esh kibah, urabakanse. Let's pray, God, until we shake hatred and racism out of this land. Will you join me? Glory to God. Make sure you like this video, make sure you share it, and make sure you rise up early and pray with me daily, Monday through Friday. At 5 AM, and we're going to, we're going to rout these things out of the earth.
We're going to shake the place. Hallelujah. In Jesus' name. I love you guys. Y'all be blessed. Thanks for praying for us today. Have a great day. Peace.
