Morning Prayer Summary for Monday, April 5, 2021

Prayed…

Father, be lifted up and magnified today
We love You, and we thank You that You loved us
Thank You that You sent Your Son and that He went all the way to the cross, Lord
It was done and finished on that cross!
We worship who You are; we honor Your plans and Your will
Yes, we are desperate for more of Your presence, Lord
Holy Spirit, we are hungry and thirsty for more of You and Your presence

Scripture Focus…

And his fullness fills you, even though you were once like corpses, dead in your sins and offenses.  (2) It wasn’t that long ago that you lived in the religion, customs, and values of this world, obeying the dark ruler of the earthly realm who fills the atmosphere with his authority, and works diligently in the hearts of those who are disobedient to the truth of God.  (3) The corruption that was in us from birth was expressed through the deeds and desires of our self-life. We lived by whatever natural cravings and thoughts our minds dictated, living as rebellious children subject to God’s wrath like everyone else. (4) But God still loved us with such great love. He is so rich in compassion and mercy.  (5) Even when we were dead and doomed in our many sins, he united us into the very life of Christ and saved us by his wonderful grace! (6) He raised us up with Christ the exalted One, and we ascended with him into the glorious perfection and authority of the heavenly realm, for we are now co-seated as one with Christ!  (7) Throughout the coming ages we will be the visible display of the infinite riches of his grace and kindness, which was showered upon us in Jesus Christ. (8) For by grace you have been saved by faith. Nothing you did could ever earn this salvation, for it was the love gift from God that brought us to Christ!  (9) So no one will ever be able to boast, for salvation is never a reward for good works or human striving. (10) We have become his poetry, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny he has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it! (11–12) So don’t forget that you were not born as Jews and were uncircumcised (circumcision itself is just a work of man’s hands); you had none of the Jewish covenants and laws; you were foreigners to Israel’s incredible heritage; you were without the covenants and prophetic promises of the Messiah, the promised hope, and without God. (13) Yet look at you now! Everything is new! Although you were once distant and far away from God, now you have been brought delightfully close to him through the sacred blood of Jesus—you have actually been united to Christ! (14) Our reconciling “Peace” is Jesus! He has made Jew and non-Jew one in ChristBy dying as our sacrifice, he has broken down every wall of prejudice that separated us and has now made us equal through our union with Christ. (15) Ethnic hatred has been dissolved by the crucifixion of his precious body on the cross. The legal code that stood condemning every one of us has now been repealed by his command. His triune essence has made peace between us by starting over—forming one new race of humanity, Jews and non-Jews fused together in himself! (16) Two have now become one, and we live restored to God and reconciled in the body of Christ. Through his crucifixion, hatred died. (17) For the Messiah has come to preach this sweet message of peace to you, the ones who were distant, and to those who are near. (18)  And now, because we are united to Christ, we both have equal and direct access in the realm of the Holy Spirit to come before the Father! (19) So, you are not foreigners or guests, but rather you are the children of the city of the holy ones, with all the rights as family members of the household of God. (20) You are rising like the perfectly fitted stones of the temple; and your lives have been built up together upon the foundation laid by the apostles and prophets, and best of all, you are connected to the Head Cornerstone of the building, the Anointed One, Jesus Christ himself! (21) This entire building is under construction and is continually growing under his supervision until it rises up completed as the holy temple of the Lord himself. (22) This means that God is transforming each one of you into the Holy of Holies, his dwelling place, through the power of the Holy Spirit living in you!
(Ephesians 2:1–22 TPT)

Continued Praying…

We welcome Your presence in this place, Father
One body in Christ Jesus by the power of the precious Holy Spirit
Yes, we are overcomers in, by, and through the blood
You are opening doors for us, and we thank You for it, Lord
In You, we can do all things
There are supernatural things that are happening in these last days
Thank You for signs that will turn and change things
Hallelujah, we thank You, Lord
Some things that were broken up are being restored
In Your presence, there is healing, change, and restoration
You are making all things new!
We yearn for more of You, Lord
Fill us with Your presence; we want to be filled with Your anointing
Give us the words to speak
Yes, Your presence is working in and through us today
Your presence is making a way where there is no other way
We want to be filled more and more with Your presence

A Word of the Lord came forth…

In My presence, when you hunger for Me, when you are thirsty for more of My presence, My presence is yours, My presence always brings with it signs, supernatural happenings, miracles, healings, provision of every kind, all are in My presence.

Scripture Focus…

May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the [Holy] Spirit [Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality]. (17) May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, (18) That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God’s devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it]; (19) [That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!
(Ephesians 3:16–19 AMPC)

 And the Lord said, My Presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest. (15) And Moses said to the Lord, If Your Presence does not go with me, do not carry us up from here! (16) For by what shall it be known that I and Your people have found favor in Your sight? Is it not in Your going with us so that we are distinguished, I and Your people, from all the other people upon the face of the earth?
(Exodus 33:14–16 AMPC)
