Thoughts to Prepare for Prayer: Praying with “Now Faith”
“Now faith” says that the substance of things that I am hoping for, the evidence of things not yet seen, are already mine at the present time or moment simply because of my “now faith.”
Praying in the “now faith” is by keeping yourself open to hearing the heavenly relays from the Holy Spirit and speaking them into the now. To do this we must not allow the enemy to distract us. One way the enemy distracts your “now faith” prayers is by building scenarios in your mind showing you outcomes of defeat. Another way is by speaking your words and not His Words. His Words speak of “now faith” that are empowered to bring victory. Your words, your thoughts, can be weakened and cause defeated outcomes. Stay in the “now faith” moments by listening to the Holy Spirit, believe and speak His Words over yourself and those around you.
Scripture Text:
Hebrews 11:1-6 NKJV Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks. By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Praying for the Church and the Nation(s): Praying in Now Faith
Father, by faith we diligently seek You and declare the Holy Spirit Wind Words, and now receive the outcomes to them with grateful hearts in this present time. We are confident that our petitions of faith please You and are heard as we come boldly to Your Throne Room recognized by the Blood of Jesus.
We continue to pray for godly leadership into the church and this nation. We see that Paul on His way to Damascus was apprehended by God and was made to know God's agenda and not mans; let this same experience happen to men and women in leadership all over this land. “Now faith”, understands that the world was framed by You, and because of Your Word, we see them apprehended and willingly changed.
Let the church unite in this nation and move together across this land with the gospel of truth and peace. Let the church be multiplied with godly laborers and send them out into our: businesses, colleges, schools, churches and government influencing them with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
As we continue to pray, we ask that You would open unto us a greater revelation of Your spoken and written Word, causing us to speak Your plans effectively and assuredly with “now faith,” into the church and into this nation(s).
Conclusion: 2 Thessalonians 3:16 TPT ”Now, may the Lord himself, the Lord of peace, pour into you his peace in every circumstance and in every possible way. The Lord’s tangible presence be with you all.“
Father, we believe Your Words and receive them now with grateful hearts in Jesus name, Amen.

LWDS Saturday Prayer April 20, 2024
Dear prayers, we will be meeting for prayer this Saturday at 4:00 at the Esko building. (Physical address: Living Word, 3 W Highway 61, Esko, MN 55733 / Mailing address: Living Word PO Box 304 Esko, MN 55733)
Scripture Text:
John 3: 5-8 Jesus answered, “I speak an eternal truth: Unless you are born of water and the Spirit, you will never enter God’s kingdom. For the natural realm only gives birth to things that are natural, but the spiritual realm gives birth to supernatural life! You shouldn’t be amazed by my statement, You all must be born from above! For the Spirit-Wind blows as it chooses. You can hear its sound, but you don’t know where it came from or where it’s going. So it is the same with those who are Spirit-born!”
Thoughts to Prepare for Prayer: Excerpt taken from: Dutch Sheets “Give Him 15”
Jesus is building a Wind-driven church, a church that is filled with and powered by the Wind of heaven, the Spirit of God. He is building a church that knows the Spirit’s voice and releases the Spirit’s voice. “
We are these Spirit-born people Jesus spoke of. We will be blown by the Spirit-Wind throughout the earth. Satan and his demons won’t know where we’re coming from but they will hear what is to them a terrifying sound: prison doors opening and prisoners going free. They won’t know where we’re going next until we are blown there by Spirit-Wind. Throughout the earth, we will leave a path of signs, wonders, miracles, deliverances and salvations. Get ready for the Wind-driven church!
Praying for the Church and the Nation(s):
Father, let our prayers for the church and the nation be mighty wind words driven by Your Holy Spirit in us. Yes, the Holy Spirit Wind Words that blow across the church in this nation causing her to rise up, and speak His supernatural Words of life over those who are lost and in need.
We repent, as the church in this nation whose relationship with You has been mostly man driven, giving birth to natural man's ideas and not Holy Spirit driven. We ask for Your correction and direction putting us back on track to being a Holy Spirit led church, a church who is led by the Winds of Your Holy Spirit and is not being led by the winds of the world.
2 Corinthians 10:5 TPT We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One.
We can and we do, demolish every vain imagination, those deceptive fantasies in the church and this nation that oppose the Fathers plan. We ask for the thoughts of those in leadership to be captured, influenced and exposed to godly changes as the Spirit born Church, speaks over them the Holy Spirit Wind Words.
(Excerpt from Dutch Sheets “Give Him 15”) “Release this. Come from the four winds and blow through us on dry bones everywhere. Blow across this nation, saving America. Blow into our government, our schools, our inner cities and countrysides. Blow into the Middle East and save millions. Blow into Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia and all of the Americas. Blow a scorching wind into the camp of the enemy, a saving wind to the people.”
Continue to pray the Wind Words of the Holy Spirit over the church and the nation(s).
Conclusion: Father, as those who are Spirit born soldiers we declare that Your Wind Words will go out through the church and the nations and shall produce Your fruit in the earth. In Jesus name, Amen

LWDS Saturday Prayer APRIL 13, 2024
Dear prayers, we will be meeting for prayer this Saturday at 4:00 at the Esko building. (Physical address: Living Word, 3 W Highway 61, Esko, MN 55733 / Mailing address: Living Word PO Box 304 Esko, MN 55733)
Pray for the Evangelism team today.
Matthew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations [help the people to learn of Me, believe in Me, and obey My words], baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Scripture Text:
Isaiah 6:1 says, “In the year that King Uzzia died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne high and lifted up and the train of his robe filled the temple.”
Colossians 2:15 When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He made a public example of them [exhibiting them as captives in His triumphal procession], having triumphed over them through the cross.
Thoughts to Prepare for Prayer: The Train of His Robe
In America we don't really have royalty here and are not very familiar with a train on a robe of a royal person. Probably the closest thing we’ve witnessed to this is, when a bride gets married and the train of her dress trails down the aisle of a church. But, if you can imagine, Isaiah says that the train of the Lord filled the temple, unlike the bride’s train who just fills the aisle of a church.
Also back in the days of Isaiah when the kings defeated another king, they would take a portion of the defeated king's robe and sew it into their train. So every time they defeated an enemy, there would be a piece of that enemy’s robe sewn into the train. Imagine this, the Lord's train filling the whole temple with all His defeated enemies sewn into that train: every sickness, every disease, poverty, everything you can imagine, every name, everything unnamed displayed on it.
Let us pray remembering this picture of our triumphant conquering King Jesus filling the temple with His train exhibiting all our enemies as defeated foes.
Praying for the Church and the Nation(s):
● Father, as we come with our petitions we see all our enemies already sewn into Your Son’s train; and because of that triumphal procession over the enemy he has made us joint heirs with Him. As joint heirs we continue to declare victory over all the supernatural forces that come against us. So, Sickness, disease, schisms, deceit and every other sin that keeps the church from coming into that position of one bride, a glorious bride, be exposed and stopped.
● We see the nations of the world and in particular our nation, sewn into and exhibited in His train, showing forth that our conquering King has already prevailed victoriously over our enemies.
● By faith we continue to declare His plan into our nation and see godly leadership taking over, allowing this nation to complete its mission to the furtherance of the Gospel of our King Jesus.
● As we continue to pray for our church and the nations, we look to that amazing train that exhibits His victory for us over all our defeated enemies. (Continue to Pray)
Conclusion: Romans 8:37 Amp Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us].
● Father, thank you for that overwhelming victory You made for us in our conquering King Jesus, Amen.
