SCRIPTURE
Psalm 99:1-5: The Lord is King, let the peoples tremble; He sits enthroned upon the cherubim, let the earth quake. The Lord is great on Zion, He is exalted over all peoples. Let them praise Your great and awesome name: holy is He. O mighty king, lover of justice, You have established fairness; You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob. Exalt the Lord, our God; worship at His footstool; holy is He.
SCRIPTURE
Psalm 95:1-7: Come, let us praise Yahweh joyfully; acclaiming the rock of our safety. Let us come into His Presence with thanksgiving, acclaiming Him with music. For Yahweh is a great God; a greater king than all other gods, from depths of earth to mountaintop; everything comes under His rule. The sea belongs to Him; He made it. So does the land; He shaped this too. Come in, let us bow; prostrate ourselves and kneel in front of Yahweh, our maker. For this is our God and we are the people He pastures, the flock that He guides.
SCRIPTURE
Psalm 92:1-5: It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to Your name, Most High, to declare your love in the morning and your faithfulness by night. For You, O Lord, has made me glad by what You have done and I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands.
SCRIPTURE
Psalm 93: The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty; the Lord is robed, girded with strength; indeed, the world is firmly established it will not be moved. Thy throne is established from of old; You are from everlasting, Lord. The flood has lifted up, O Lord; the flood has lifted up its voice. The flood has lifted up its pounding waves, more than the sound of many waters, than the mighty breakers of the sea. The Lord on high is mighty. Your testimonies are fully confirmed; holiness belongs to Your house, Lord, for evermore.
SCRIPTURE / PRAYER
Psalm 22: S ays to us, “Yet holy One, You make Your home in the praises of Israel. O Holy One, You make Your home in our praises. O Holy One, You, Jesus, You Who were sent to reunite us with the Father right here, right now, You are making Your home in our praises. You are bringing us to Your Father, that we may know the great love, the great love that changes our lives. O Jesus thank You for making Your home in our praises”.
EXHORTATION / PRAYER
….He beckons with His heart of love. If you have never really reached out and said, “Jesus, I want to entrust my life to You; I want You to take control of my life; I want You to get on the front seat of that bicycle built for two. Lord, I want You to lead me to where You want me to go; I want You to guide me. I want You to be my Lord and Savior in a deeper way. I want to know You in a deeper way; I want to know Your love. I am one of the sheep of Your flock, Jesus, I am one of the sheep of Your flock. Lord embrace me, embrace me in a deeper way. I give myself to You”. This might be the opportunity as the Presence of the Lord comes upon us to say to Jesus, “Jesus, I do surrender to You. I want You truly to be the Lord of my life. I want You truly to be my Savior of all the things I have and of all the hopes and aspirations I have, Jesus. I want You to take control of them. I want to do Your will, Jesus, not mine, but Yours. You love me, Lord, You love me and in that love I am safe”.
SCRIPTURE
Psalm 18:2-4, 17-20: I love You, Lord, my strength, Lord, my rock, my fortress, my deliverer, my God, my rock of refuge, my shield, my saving horn, my stronghold! Praise be the Lord, I exclaim! I have been delivered from my enemies. He reached down from on high and seized me, drew me out of the deep waters. He rescued me from my mighty enemy, from foes too powerful for me. They attacked me on a day of distress, but the Lord came to my support. He set me free in the open; He rescued me because He loves me.
SCRIPTURE / PRAYER
Psalm 27:4: One thing I ask of the Lord, this I seek; to dwell in the house of the Lord forever; to behold the beauty of the Lord; to meditate in His temple. O Lord, let us behold Your beauty; the holiness in this place; Lord, Your Presence here with us. Lord, don't let us walk around unaware that You are in our midst.
PROPHECY
Your heart is My home, My children, I desire to sup with you. I desire to live within every room in the home of your heart. Are you willing to let Me in to every room? Are you willing to let Me in to those closets that are closed? I know their faults. Let Me help you, please let Me come in.
PROPHECY
I know; I know that you are afraid of what I might find there. But don't be afraid of Me; I know you. I know what is in your heart and I love you. I have always loved you. Just open up those doors, let Me walk through there with you. We will walk through together, hand in hand. I will be there with you always.
MESSAGE IN TONGUES
INTERPRETATION
My beloved children, your praise fills My heart with great joy, your worship, your adoration makes Me sing for joy. Open up your heart, rend your hearts and let Me fill you with praise. Let Me fill you with My Spirit so that I may hear your praises more fully; that I may fill every corner of your heart with praise, My light and My joy, My peace and all the gifts and wonderful things that I have for you. Open your hearts; rend your hearts, give Me praise! Let Me touch the very depth of Your being; don't hold back; don't hold back, for I have more than you can imagine for you, My beloved children, I love you! I love you with a depth beyond all knowledge and I seek your praise, your glory and your worship!
MESSAGE IN TONGUES
INTERPRETATION
My people, I am calling to you in a passionate way; with a love that is deeper than any ocean you can fathom; with a love that is higher than any mountain you could imagine. I am calling to you, My people! I am yearning for you to come to Me! I am calling you to be with Me! My love for you is unfathomable; you can't grasp it! You can't go from My Presence; I am calling to you, My people!
PRAYER
Lord, You called to us and we must respond to that call, Lord, from the depths of our being. Yet even the response depends on Your grace, so we claim that grace now that You pour forth upon us. Lord, let us now say “Yes” to You to respond to that call. Glory to you, O God! You call out to us, Lord, from that sea of love that is You and You say, “Come to Me, My children, come to Me, let Me embrace you, let My love and My healing flow over you. Come to Me and do not be afraid. Come to Me”.
PRAYER
Jesus, Your words of love ring out, ‘Come to Me, come to Me, you who have been afraid all your lives. Come to Me and receive the mercy and grace that I have for you; come and be embraced by My love that knows no fear; come, come'.
WORD OF KNOWLEDGE / PRAYER
When we cry out to Him to He, Who is Lord, to He Who is Savior, He hears us. When we cry out to Him from our heart with sincerity, He hears us and He responds to us. Jesus, we love You! Jesus, we call out to You!
EXHORTATION
I want to share this because when your heart is way down, a little bit of encouragement lifts the weight. The Lord gave me an answer to prayer very similar. I have had a recurring problem, very strong problem, with resentment. I had been praying earnestly, “Lord, this problem is like a clenched fist. I just can't open it. Could You pry it open for me?” You have to understand that I am not from a Catholic tradition. I came to the worship of the Blessed Sacrament as the Host was passing by. As I looked, the Lord flashed an image of what I needed. It was the hand of Jesus, opening to be pierced. I just knew that He was saying to me to ‘put your eyes on Jesus!' What I needed was there!
PRAYING FOR PERSONAL NEEDS
PRAYER
Lord, we place into Your hands all those unspoken petitions that we have; all of those burdens we came in here with, all of those who need prayer, all of those who need a touch of Your love; Your church, this Catholic church and all of your Christian churches, that they may come alive in Your grace and the power of Pentecost to proclaim Your message, Lord Jesus, to the world. We place it all into Your hands, O Lord, and we know that in those hands, we can have great confidence.
WORD OF KNOWLEDGE
The Lord has put something on my heart that He doesn't let go away. There is a Scripture in the Old Testament that talks about the people of Israel The Scripture says, “He found them in a howling wasteland in a desert. He rescued them and He guarded them as the apple of His eye”. The Lord was saying to me that tonight there is someone here who came from a real wasteland. They are not even sure why they came here, but they have been in a real wasteland. The Lord wants you to know that tonight He has lifted up and rescued you. He will guard you as the apple of His eye.
