PRAYER
We can open the doors of our hearts to You or we can keep them closed. But we open them to You and we ask You to reign in our hearts tonight, Lord Jesus Christ. Come with Your mercy, Your forgiveness, Your love and Your healing. Come, Lord, and walk among us! Great and glorious are You! In Psalm 47, it says, “Clap your hands for joy, all peoples! Praise God with loud songs.” O God, give us the ability to do that tonight.
The Lord wants you to know that patience is breathing under pressure. The Lord wants you to know that when you are under pressure; that is when you find out who you really are! But the Lord wants you to stay focused; do not try to change your circumstances, rather ask, “What are the circumstances trying to change in you?” Your prayers should be, “Lord, what do you want me to change?” Know that He is there. It is He, Who is walking beside you! It is He, Who is upholding you. May all be to the glory of God!
PRAYER
We welcome Your Presence in this place tonight. Lord, You enable us to give praise to Jesus. You enable us to glorify the Father. You bind us together as the body of Jesus. We welcome You! We give You free reign! Touch every heart, every mind, move us in the way, O Lord, that we need to be moved. Bring us to the place where You have called us which is that place of deep worship. Let us welcome Him in our hearts, as He begins to touch each of us this evening.
PROPHECY
He is moving among us right now and, basically, He is asking if we would surrender to Him, whatever we came with tonight, that would keep us from knowing His blessing in a special way tonight. With a very loving face, He just looks at us and says, “Will you surrender it to Me? For I have blessings to pour out upon you this evening. I have blessings to pour out upon you. Be free, be free and know My great love!”
I confirm that. The Scripture that I have is James 1:19-21 and it is for someone here this evening. “Everyone must be quick to listen, but slow to speak and slow to become angry.” Humans become angry, but this does not achieve God's righteous purpose. Submit to God and accept the word that He plants in your hearts, which is able to serve you.
PRAYER
Lord, help us to surrender to You tonight. Glory to You!
SCRIPTURE
Psalm 27:4-6,8,13-14: One thing I ask of the Lord; this I seek: to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, to meditate is His temple. For in the day of trouble, He will conceal me in His tabernacle and in the secret place of His tent; He will hide me and He will lift me up on a rock. Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me! I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; and I will sing, yes, I will sing praise to the Lord. “Come,” says my heart, “seek God's face”; Your face, Lord, do I seek! I believe I shall enjoy the Lord's goodness in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord, take courage; be strong, wait for the Lord!
PRAYER
Lord, we desire the nearness of You. Help us to be aware!
Hebrews 4:14-16: “Therefore, since we have a great high priest Who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who in every respect has been tested as we are, yet , without sin. Let us, therefore, approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in our time of need.” As we move deeper into worship, this great high priest, Jesus, Who we worship and glorify, asks us to approach the throne of grace with boldness, to find His mercy, which we all need.
I have an image of Jesus walking throughout the assembly, touching each and every one of us, as we need to be touched at that moment.
CONFIRMATION
I would like to confirm that image of the Lord walking through our midst, touching and healing. But the Lord also showed me a vision of a large teardrop. I think the Lord is trying to tell us that there is someone here tonight, in whom the Lord wants to move mightily in your life. But there is unforgiveness in your heart; there is someone in your life that you need to forgive. The Lord would have you come forth tonight before you leave, to receive prayer for that forgiveness. Thank you, Jesus.
PRAYER FOR INDIVIDUAL PRAYER GROUP MEMBER
What the Lord is doing among us tonight is some ‘heart' work. He is moving in the hearts of His people. We have come to tell Him that we love Him and He is doing ‘heart' work on the need of forgiveness There is someone here who has a very broken heart; I don't know why or what it was all about, but the heart is very broken. The Lord has come tonight and wrapped His hands around that heart and is restoring healing to that heart. You will know that in the next couple of days. I believe He is also moving us and in the next couple of days, you will see your heart just change toward some circumstance or some person. You may know or perhaps, may not know that you needed this change of heart. But He is indeed purifying our hearts and He is doing ‘heart' work – changing hearts of stone into hearts of flesh; hearts that are malleable in His hands; hearts that are filled with His love.
PRAYER
Lord, we give You the freedom! We give You the freedom, Lord, to touch deep within us – within our hearts – we give You that freedom! Receive our love, Jesus; hear the voice of Your people in this place tonight. Jesus, hear us! Jesus, help us to surrender to You, to Your love! Help us, Jesus, to trust You totally; to release ourselves and all of our circumstances into Your hands. Jesus, Jesus, You love us so much! Jesus, we call to You! Jesus, we love You! We place into Your hands now all of those things; all of those worries and concerns, all of those people who need a touch of Your grace, all of those circumstances that need Your wisdom and Your guidance. We place all of these things in Your hands right now. The Lord is with us! Lord, I place in Your hands Your people and Your church. Lord, make us a holy people; a people on fire with Your love; a people dedicated to walking in the path that You have chosen for us; a people joyful in the knowledge of Your love. Make us that people, O Lord; people who want to share Your love; people who are open to Your gifts, to Your Holy Spirit!
