I’ve been looking back at the video from the night we are officially installed as the pastors. The many words of wisdom and council that came to us are proving to be more precious than silver or gold to us.
As I reviewed the recording these are some of the things that have caught my attention this time:
Bishop Raphael Green:
Set us in as the senior pastor and first lady, senior associate pastor. I will start referring to Carol in this way and take the pressure off of her to be a co-pastor. She is primarily, the first lady and then the senior associate pastor. I’ll place that in our brochures and documents.
He also prayed for Grace, Wisdom Favor, Power, Authority and Ability in a multi-generational manner.
Pastor Raleigh Wingfield:
He prayed for Power and Understanding. He also prayed that the Lord would open the eyes of his understanding. Give him gifts of leadership and wisdom to lead your people.
That he would give a good word in due season, because a good word is like well driven nails.
He prayed that I would speak the mysteries… set men free.
He prayed that he would know what to do, the hour to do it, and the time that it is due.
He prayed that I would have perception to understand, comprehend the beginning and end of a thing. (Now I know why we are changing the name of the church and distinguishing the Fruitful Life Network from the church.
He prayed that I would know how to migrate and navigate, and know how to make decisions and appointments. He prayed that I would know how to decide when to go out and when to come in, when to rise up and when to sit down. Finally he prayed that I would understand the timings and seasons of the Lord.
Pastor Dave and Sheri Hess:
He declared that there is a Yes that resounds in the heavens. GOD says yes over our lives; HE says yes over every promise that He has made to us.
Sheri Hess prayed and asked the Lord to expand their capacity to receive from God, Let them partake in that ever increasing thing (Like the Kingdom of God is ever increasing). She spoke of God’s deposit of life, that we would be speaking words of LIFE; that they will LIFE people.
She saw us speaking LIFE into people; hope, salvation, healing over people. She declared that life is in their mouth. She saw a rod of budding coming out of our mouths.
Then she said there’s many in the wake of their foot prints, walking in the path, following them, many are in the trail of their foot prints.
Again she prayed that God would expand our capacity to receive beyond our wildest dreams, beyond what they can ask or think, not just for numbers. She said God sent servants who smell like sheep, willing to go low and minister.
John Shuey:
John prayed a declaration that before the beginning of time God preordained Chris and Carol to good works. We call forth their destiny in the name of Jesus Christ.”
He prayed, “That a faith would rise up within them and within this congregation that would touch heaven and bring that destiny into reality.
That everything God planned for them to accomplish in this city would be fulfilled; That every dream that God dreamed for us in heaven would become a reality on earth.”
First Lady Brenda Green:
“May God expand you, enrich you, empower you, ask for supernatural, double portion anointing, that they might fulfill God’s ordained destiny.”
Kerry Shuey: God is going to bless them exceedingly, abundantly, above all that they can ask or imagine. God is going to bless them beyond their imagination; Beyond anything they have seen or heard. Cause your people throughout this city, and the lost and hurting, the desperate to see God in them. We pray for such a harvest, to see the hope within them.
We pray for the lost to come trickling in and rushing in to this place. That they would expand and burst the seams of this place. Be preparing the next place. Prepare the staff, the audio, visual equipment, finances, everything that they need, called forth according to God’s riches in glory.
We receive these gifts into our city. We covenant to work together.
Bishop Raphael Green: Prophetically he declared, “I would even adjust your pace; I will bring about an accommodation of your spirit to my spirit. You shall discover the ways of the lord, and you shall know my heart, and I would dare to even catapult you if you would be willing and obedient.
For the forces of darkness that have aligned themselves against this region or on alert. The servants of the Lord with whom you stand have heard the clarion call of God
So I will require that you maintain a heart of openness and comradory, and prayer with the elders of this city. For I have made you significant players in that which I have already begun. If you would remain humble you together shall see the hand of God.”
