Sunday 5th August. I am always amazed at how the Father weaves together a Sunday morning service that is centred on working together with the Holy Spirit to encourage and build up believers in Christ. The river flows with scriptures, dreams, sung worship and then corporate prayer. It really felt as if the Holy Spirit was at the door to welcome us in (as opposed to us welcoming Him in our midst) and then when heavens' choir joined our sung worship thought the roof would blow off.
One could over-think it all but on face value - heaven broke through on Sunday morning with so much more than we could have thought or planned. Four words were released over the church - the first being from scripture 1 Peter 1 which speaks of our heavenly inheritance and the enduring word of God ending with “All flesh is
as grass, And all the glory of man
as the flower of the grass. The grass
withers, And
its flower falls away, But the
word of the Lord
endures forever!
Another word to the church given via a dream reinforces our commitment to pray. The words from the dream are, "Prayer
is the lifeblood of the church. Satan can never cut off the blood
supply to Jesus’ body. Persevere in prayer. The battle belongs to the
Lord."
Two words impressed on others and then shared addressed the
need for reconciliation (forgiveness) and encouragement to wait on the Lord for
breakthrough. This remarkable divinely
inspired flow was all part of the prepared "preach/teach" which aimed
at a corporate prayer focussed on words, scriptures and pictures we have received
since the start of the year (graphically represented - click to enlarge) and speaks to the new day, breakthrough and fresh revelation of Christ. Just love the way
the Father does this!
As the blog writer, I'm encouraged that Eloyim through His
Holy Spirit reached down from heaven to
encourage us to keep on the pathway of prayer and fasting we have established
and, as Godfrey Birtell sings, "Living in the unforced rhythm of GRACE" (YouTube version of song)
Ephesians 3: 16 to 19 - "I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you
with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may
dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted
and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints,
to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and
to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the
measure of all the fullness of God."
