INSPIRED WORD

JANUARY 26, 2005

SCRIPTURE
Psalm 100: Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness. Come before Him with joyful songs; know that the Lord is God. It is He Who made us and we are His. We are the people, the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name, for the Lord is good and His love endures forever. His faithfulness continues through all generations.

SONG
Worthy, Lord, You are worthy of our praise. We bless Your name and we praise Your greatness, Lord. Lord, You are righteous! You are the cup of salvation; we praise You, Lord, and we bless Your presence. Lord, we need You more and more Lord, we seek Your presence and we ask that You would fill our hearts and our minds.

SCRIPTURE
Psalm 145:13-21: The Lord is faithful in all His words and gracious in all His deeds. The Lord upholds all who are falling and raises up all who are bowed down. The eyes of all look to You and You give them their food in due season. You open Your hand, satisfying the desire of every living thing. The Lord is just in all His ways and kind in all His doings. The Lord is near to all who call on Him. My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord and all flesh will bless His holy name, forever and ever.

PRAYER
Holy Spirit, we welcome Your anointing here in this place. Lord, we ask You to touch every heart as we open those hearts to You and to have Your way among Your people here tonight.

WORD
Mark 4:21-25 And He said to them, “Is the lamp brought in to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not to be set upon a lampstand? For there is nothing hidden which is not to be revealed nor has anything been kept secret but that it should be brought to light. If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.” He also said to them, “Take heed what you hear. The measure with which you measure will be measured out to you. To the one who has, more will be given; from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”

PRAYER
God, let us hear Your word tonight, that what we see, Lord, in our lives of Your Presence, that we might reveal that we not hide our lamp under a basket but rather expose to the light that others might see the brightness of Your light, Lord, in us. That our lives might serve to give You praise, God, our Father. Let us who have ears, Lord, hear Your word that we might proclaim it, for Lord, we have been commissioned with the work of proclaiming Your word. Open our mouths, Lord!

PROPHECY
….to spread a word which You have commanded me to spread, and I tell you it is simple and easier than you think. It is not about knowing and probing the depths of Scripture; it is about witnessing. It is about proclaiming from your own lives what I have done. My word is a proclamation of what I have done for My people, from Abraham to Noah, to Moses, to Joshua, to Ezekiel, to Elijah, to Jeremiah, John the Baptist, the apostles and the martyrs. What I have done has transformed their lives by grace and what I have done is transformed your lives by grace. Seek that action which you have seen Me do in your own lives and be as Stephen, Paul and Peter and be witnesses to what you have seen. Then you will proclaim My gospel.

EXHORTATION
In the words of St. Theresa, “Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you; all things are passing. Only God does not change. One who has God lacks nothing. God alone is sufficient.”

PRAYER
Lord, help us to get to that place where we can immerse ourselves in You; where we can immerse ourselves in Your love; where we can trust You; where we can thank You; where we can praise You, Lord, in all things, in trials and in blessings. Let the name of the Lord be praised, now and forever!

PROPHECY
Do you hear me, My beloved ones? It is I, it is I, your Abba. Yes, it is I, the great I AM, but also it is I, your Abba! Many times I have called to you, My beloved, many times I have come to tell you how much I love you; how much I care for you; how much I desire you; and now it is I, your Abba, Who is here again, My beloved ones, to call you. I call you to put aside the things of the day; I call you to put aside the things to think. I call you to think only of Me; for again I tell you how much I love you; how much I desire you. But, My beloved ones, I come also to call you to take My hand; to take My hand and walk with Me; not to walk in fear, not to walk in loneliness, but to walk with Me to where My Father lives. He desires you also, My beloved ones, and His love for you is great. So put yourselves aside, My beloved ones, yield that which you hold onto and listen to the words that I say, ”I am your Abba! Take My hands now, come with Me; come with Me to where My Father lives.

PROPHECY
My beloved children, I call you beloved because you are beloved to Me. Your love is great and My love for you is great. You call to receive My embrace; you sing out, you praise; this gives Me great joy. But reach out with all of your being; embrace Me as I embrace you; don't let your faults or your sins hold you back. For I am greater than all of your faults and all of your sins. My mercy I extend to you. I give you My love; reach out with your embrace; reach out with the embrace of your praise and your worship, your adoration; sing out your glory; embrace Me and I will embrace you with an embrace that will be so deep and so wide. I seek your embrace as you seek Mine.

EXHORTATION/ WORD OF KNOWLEDGE
Lets just continue to be open to the anointing of the Holy Spirit as He touches each and every one of us here. I see an image that the Lord is bringing to my mind. It is an image of a man dressed in black; in a dark suit like a Mexican gentleman would were. He is wearing a black sombrero. The feeling I get is that here is a father who was very, very strict and the child felt the deficit of this father's love. The Lord says to that person or persons who felt that deficit, “tonight I supply that love for you. I supply that love for you. Release him into My hands and accept My love for you.”

EXHORTATION/ PRAYER
In the midst of the anointing of the Holy Spirit, the love of God poured forth, the mercy, the forgiveness, and the healing. Turn to the person next to you or close by and pray for that person and have that person pray for you, as we continue with a song of worship. Allow the love, the mercy, and the forgiveness of Jesus to meet the needs, first to one and then to the other. So Lord, You see your people in need and You come to us with that tremendous love; that love for healing and strengthening; that love that supplies and fills all of those holes within the hearts of your people and their souls. Lord, let that be poured forth now, we pray. Be our sufficiency, O God.

WORD OF KNOWLEDGE
God says, “put your hand on that liver and allow Me to heal it; for what is killing the liver is also killing the heart. I desire to heal that as well.”
