O Lord, we come together in this place to praise and worship You with everything that we have and everything that we are; with our minds, with our hearts, and with our emotions; with all of our being. Lord, You call us to come close to You in these days and yearn for Your holy Presence in this place. We open up our hearts to that Presence right now.

We thank You for Your Presence, Lord. We worship You; we bow and adore You. We acknowledge Your Presence, Lord. Breathe in us!

WORD OF KNOWLEDGE? ??? / SCRIPTURE

Daniel Chapter 3: The reading today was from the prayer of the three young men who were thrown into the furnace because they would not worship an idol. They said, “even if our God does not save us, still we will worship Him”. But they were confident that He would save them and part of their prayer was a prayer of praise. “Bless the Lord, all people on earth, sing praise to Him and highly exalt Him forever. Bless the Lord, O Israel, sing praise to Him and highly exalt Him forever. Bless the Lord, you priests of the Lord, sing praise to Him and highly exalt Him forever. Bless the Lord, you servants of the Lord, sing praise to Him and highly exalt Him forever. Bless the Lord, spirits and souls of the righteous, sing praise to Him and highly exalt Him forever. Bless the Lord, you who are holy and humble in heart, sing praise to Him and highly exalt Him forever. O Lord, we want to sing praises to You and highly exalt You forever and ever”.

PROPHECY

You are speaking too much and thinking about too many things, worrying about too many things. Listen to Me, listen to Me, listen to Me!

SCRIPTURE

Isaiah 40:1-2: Comfort, give comfort to my people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem and tell her that her sad days are gone. Her sins are pardoned and the Lord will give her twice as many blessings as He gave her punishments before.

PROPHECY

I am bigger than all your problems. Come to Me and let Me hold you. I am with you.

PROPHECY / ???

Draw near to Me and I will draw near to you! We need not fear! He has promised all of us we need not fear. I think you have all seen a face of a baby. When you hold a baby in your arms and you smile at that baby and talk to the baby, the baby will respond. The whole face and the eyes light up and there is joy in that baby's face The joy that the baby beams back is the joy of your love. This is like that experience of God's Presence. All we have to do is turn our eyes on Jesus.

PROPHECY

You are not human doings; you are human beings. I call You just to be in My Presence; to rest in My Presence. Let the anxieties, the cares, the worries, the distractions all melt away because of My Presence within you. Just rest in Me! Allow Me to give you that peace which surpasses all of your trials and tribulations, no matter what it is. I am there for you and I wish that you would find Me deep inside your heart, in the quiet.

CONTINUATION OF PRAYERS FOR SPECIAL NEEDS FOR OTHERS

WORD OF KNOWLEDGE ??? / SCRIPTURE

LAMENTATIONS 3:22-25: Even before the first prayer need was voiced, the Lord was giving me this Scripture and I believe it is His word for all who have come forward for prayer and His promise. “A steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, says my soul, therefore I will hope in Him. The Lord is good to those who wait for Him to the soul that seeks Him”.

THANKSGIVINGS TO GOD FOR PRAYERS ANSWERED

PRAYER

We thank You, Lord, for drawing all of us here, for calling us, for calling us to come out of our shells, for calling us to step out into the “open zone” – an area that is not free or guarded. Help us, Lord, as we search for Your kindness and Your hand to help us through this world. We thank You, Lord, for all that You have done and all that You will do.
