INSPIRED WORD

NOVEMBER 3, 2004

INSPIRED SONG
Can you hear the sound of the coming of the rain? It's a new day; it's a new day; it's a new hour. The dawning is here; it's a new day. It's a new day; it's a new hour; the dawn is here. Can you see it; can you hear it now? Can you see it; can you hear it now? Can you see it; can you hear it now? Can you see it; hear it now?

PROPHECY
The Lord says, “Behold, I will do something new in the earth. Will you not be aware? So don't look at the former things anymore. Do not remember the past, for I am making a way in the wilderness, springs in the desert; it's a new day. It's a new hour, it's the reign of My mercy and grace falling on this land. It's My heart and My spirit blessing this country, so open your eyes and look up to the horizon. Look up and see that I am dawning; look up and see that the Son of Mercy is coming with healing on His wings. His coming is sure as the dawn; it's sure as the spring rain; it's sure as the latter rain. So, Lord, we press in to You, we press into Your dawning; we press into the rain.

INPSIRED SONG
Ready the way, ready the way, ready the way for the Lord. Ready the way, ready the way, ready the way for the Lord. Are you ready to open your heart to this new thing I'm doing in this place tonight? Are you ready? Are you ready?

INSPIRED SONG
We will run to You, Lord. We will run into Your arms; we will run to You, Lord. We will run into Your arms; we will embrace this new thing that You are bringing. We will embrace the sound of Your voice saying “prepare the way, prepare the way, prepare the way, prepare, prepare, prepare the way”.

INSPIRED SCRIPTURE / PROPHECY
In Acts 16:25 -26, we hear: ‘about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God and the prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was an earthquake so violent, that the foundation of the prison was shaken and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were unfastened'. The Lord says to us, “as you prepare the way for Me tonight, indeed, I am doing a new thing. I am unfastening chains, chains that have been there for a very long time. I am unfastening those chains and I am pouring forth upon you a spirit of joy that comes only from Me when you know My tremendous love”. So I say, ”prepare the way, prepare the way for the new day, for I am loosening your chains”.

INSPIRED PRAYER
Jesus, You take us by the hand and You walk us through that darkness. We need not be afraid, for You tell us that You lead us to quiet pools of fresh water, that You give us new strength; that You guide us in the right paths, as You have promised. Even though we might go through this deep darkness, know, Jesus, that we are not going to be afraid; we are not going to be afraid, for You are with us. Your shepherd's rod and staff protect us. You prepare a banquet for us, O Lord, and You call us to Yourself. There is no circumstance, there is no person, that can separate us from You. Jesus, we love You, Jesus!

INSPIRED SONG
We thank You, Jesus; we thank You, Jesus, for You have given the victory to Your people. We thank You, Jesus; there is freedom; Your yoke is easy; Your burden light. We thank You, Jesus; You love us unconditionally, You pour Your peace on us; You sent Your Comforter, we thank You, Jesus.

INSPIRED SONG
You alone are the most high, Jesus; You are the glory on earth; the power forever. You are the holy one of Israel , Who lives forever and ever. You alone are holy; You alone are worthy; You alone are the most high, Jesus. You alone are holy; You alone are worthy; You alone are the most high, Jesus, You alone are holy; You alone are worthy; You alone are the most high, Jesus.

VISION / WORD OF KNOWLEDGE
Earlier I saw us all in a green meadow. We were all very little children, singing, dancing and worshiping the Lord together. I believe that there is scripture to follow.

EXHORTATION / INSPIRED SCRIPTURE
What the Lord requires of us is that we come to Him with the pureness of children. It is not sacrifice that delighted Him. In the days of old, He required burnt offerings and sin offerings, but it did not satisfy Him. If it did, He would not have sent His Son. Jesus has completed the sacrifice. The only sacrifice God wants from us now, is the sacrifice of worship and praise. Listen to the words of Psalm 40: ‘Many, O Lord, my God, are the wonders You have done. The things You have planned for us no one can recount to You. Were I to speak of them and tell of them, they would be too many to declare. Sacrifice and offering You did not desire; but my ears You have pierced. Burnt offerings and offering You did not require. Then I said, “ Here I am, I have come! It is written about me in the scroll; I desire to do Your will, O my God. Your law is written in my heart'. That is what He wants from us; to say,” Here I come, I desire to do Your will”.

INSPIRED SONG
Here we come, Lord Jesus, we desire to do Your will. Here we come, Lord Jesus, we desire to do Your will. Here we come, Lord Jesus, we desire to do Your will.

INSPIRED SCRIPTURE
Psalm 50: God, Your God, am I. Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you, nor for your holocausts, for they are before Me always. I take from your house no bullocks, no goats out of your fold. For Mine are all the animals of the forest, beasts by the thousands on my mountains. I know all the birds of the air; whatever stirs in the plains belongs to Me. If I were hungry, I should not tell you, for Mine are the world and its fullness. Do I eat the flesh of strong bulls or is the blood of goats My drink? Offer to God praise as your sacrifice and fulfill your vows to the Most High. Then call upon Me in time of distress; I will rescue you and you shall glorify Me.

INSPIRED PRAYER
Lord, we open our hearts to receive that grace of desire to do Your will; that grace to give it all up, to give up plans that are not from You. Help us to give up people and circumstances that are not from You and to follow in the safety of Your path, Lord Jesus Christ. Help us to follow in the peace of Your path, Lord Jesus Christ. Lord, help us to have that desire to lay it all down; that desire to follow You, to give it all to You; to rely not on what we think or want, but on what You want. Lord, You poured out that grace for us tonight. Lord, You poured out that grace for us tonight to say, ‘O yes, Jesus, yes, yes, yes, in the depths of our hearts. Yes, yes, yes, take it all Jesus, lead me, guide me, strengthen me, show me, show me that path. Lord, help us to open our hearts to receive that grace and say yes, to say Your way, yes, not mine. Your way, Jesus, not mine, Your works, Jesus, not mine'.

INSPIRED SCRIPTURE
Luke 4: we read that Jesus returned to Galilee and the power of the Holy Spirit was with Him. He went into that synagogue in Nazareth and He said, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me because He has chosen Me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free the oppressed and announce that the time has come when the Lord will save His people”. The Lord saves His people now.

INSPIRED VISION
I did have a vision tonight of the Lord and He was coming off the cross. When He was walking, He had a whole bunch of little lambs right behind Him. He was saying, “I am here to protect you”.
