PROPHECY

My people, you are all so wonderful. I have formed each of you and I do have a plan for each of you. You are one body, but you are many parts. I will use your ears, your mouth, your hands and your feet. I have a plan for each of you to go out and touch My people, share your gifts; I will guide you. I love you and I am with you! Continue to follow My Words, not just this year or next year, but I am with you always. I will always be with you, leading you. Trust in Me!

SCRIPTURE

I was just thinking about the things that have been spoken in this prayer community over time and how much this community longs to reach out to this broken and dying world which needs Jesus so badly. It says in Isaiah 60 : 17 – 22: “ Instead of bronze I will bring you gold, and silver in place of iron. Instead of wood I will bring you bronze, and iron in place of stones. I will make peace your governor and righteousness your ruler. No longer will violence be heard in your land, nor ruin or destruction within your borders, but you will call your walls Salvation and your gates Praise. The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you, for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory. Your sun will never set again, and your moon will wane no more; the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your days of sorrow will end. Then will all your people be righteous and they will possess the land forever. They are the shoot I have planted, the work of My hands, for the display of My splendor. The least of you will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation. I am the Lord; in its time I will do this swiftly.”

SCRIPTURE

I am the vine, you are the branches, apart from Me you can do nothing. (Reference John 15)

SCRIPTURE / SHARING / EXHORTATION

In reference to what she just said, “apart from Me you can do nothing,” but listen to Philippians 4: 13 : “I can do all things through Him Who strengthens me.” So with Him we can do everything. Ray made that clear to us in regards to the message which God was speaking to us about a call to discipleship. I was thinking about a time not long ago, when we were here and we were in some deep worship. Cece encouraged us to spread out and go sit somewhere in the sanctuary and meditate if that is what we wanted to do. The light was shining down upon the Crucifix and our media screen was pulled back up. I went to sit up by the Crucifix because that is not usually a part of the church that I get to go. I sat at the foot of the Crucifix, which is surrounded by the plaques of the disciples of Jesus. I was in awe – thinking of Peter, James, John, Luke, Matthew and the others, they were such strong and holy workers for the Lord. Then Cece said, “You are the disciples for your time.” That statement impacted me. Here I was focusing on the disciples; they are wonderful and we can still read about them in the Bible. But Cece said, “ You are the disciples of your time.” It is us; we have heard God's call, we have heard that He is going to be with us all the way. We are the people for our time. We must remember this secret in being the disciples of our time, “I can do all things through Him Who gives me strength.” It is up to us to follow the plans that God has for each of us if we are to be His disciples. It is us and we are the disciples for our time. With His strength in each of us, we can do His will.

PROPHETIC SCRIPTURE

I am your Shepherd and I give you everything you need. I let you rest in fields of green grass and lead you to quiet pools of fresh water. I give you new strength, I guide you in the right paths, even if you go through deepest darkness, don't be afraid for I am with you. My Shepherd's rod and My staff protect you. I give you strength; I am with you, fear not!
