SCRIPTURE

Romans 14:8:While we live, we are the Lord's and if we die, we are the Lord's. So whether we live or we die, we belong to the Lord. Alleluia!

PRAYER

Truly You are an amazing God! The most amazing thing about it all, Lord, is that You love us and You call us by name into Your very Presence. O Lord, this night You knew we were called to this place by Your love. We thank You and we praise You, Lord, that You do know us by name; that we are here because of Your call upon our hearts and that You will touch us and change us, if we surrender ourselves to Your Presence. Amazing God, we love You! We love You dearly!!

SCRIPTURE / PRAYER

Isaiah 58:6-12: Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen; to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter – when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: 'Here am I.' If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Wails, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings. O Lord, we want to be restorers; we want to be repairers of breaches; we want to restore the streets; we want to open our souls and our substance to those who have not, Lord God. Teach us, teach us to walk according to Your purposes all the days of our lives. We will be truly blessed! We pray that You will be our rear-guard. We pray that we will walk according to the purposes You have laid before us. Teach us, Lord, as we present ourselves as students before You. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Alleluia to the Lord and the most high King!

SCRIPTURE

Isaiah 6-9: In the year king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a high and lofty throne, with the train of His garment filling the temple. Seraphim were stationed above; each of them had six wings; with two they veiled their faces, with two they veiled their feet, and two they hovered aloft. And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of His glory.” At the sound of their voices, the frame of the door shook and the house was filled with smoke. The I said, “Woe is me, I am doomed! For I am a man of unclean lips, living among a people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty!” Then one of the Seraphim flew to me, holding a live coal in his hand, which he

had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, your sin purged.” Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” And He replied, “Go!”

SCRIPTURE

Hebrews 12:22-24: You have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus, the Mediator of the new covenant.

TONGUES

INTERPRETATION

Come nearer, come nearer to Me, you who are far off. Do not stay in the shadows. Though My glory is bright, My love is even stronger. Come nearer to Me because I desire you close to Me. Do not stand afar off, but come with your arms open, with your hands reaching for Me because I am reaching for you. Come closer to Me; be with Me; be near Me and I will be in you and you will be in Me and we will be one because you are My children, My beloved ones, My own.

PROPHECY / SCRIPTURE / IMAGE

“You bring Me joy; you make Me smile.”

In Revelation 3:20, the Lord says, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock.” I had an image as we were singing the last few songs, of a person who came here tonight and the Lord was standing and knocking at the door of their heart. They let that perfect love of our God allow them to open that door of their heart in a new way. And Jesus looked at them at said, “Yes, tonight I have come to dwell with you in a whole new way. You will experience My love in a way you have not experienced before because you have opened the door of your heart.
