Psalms 34—I will bless the Lord at all times…
I had some scripture I wanted to read this morning. We’re all aware of the events that took place on the previous Tuesday. I wanted to read this to get our eyes and focus on what’s important. The Word says in Psalm 34. “I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Let me just skip to the scripture that I was thinking about. Verse five says, “Those who look to Him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed. This poor man cried and the Lord heard him and saved him out of all his troubles. Verse 19 says, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord redeems him (or delivers him) out of them all.”
The glory of the Lord…
So we thank you, Lord, that when we look to you, our faces are lightened. They’re radiant with the glory of the Lord, just like when Moses beheld the… not even the glory of the Lord, he beheld the goodness of the Lord. And the Bible says he put Moses in a crack in the mountain and then Moses saw His back parts, and still Moses’ face was shining. And people couldn’t even look at him because of he had seen just a little glimpse of who God was.
We choose not to focus on the circumstances…
So we thank you, Lord, for that radiance, that glory on us this morning. As we look to you, we choose to focus on you, not on the circumstances, not on whatever else is going on. But we look to you, Lord. We look up because that’s where our help comes from. You have delivered us out of all our fears, of all our afflictions. Many are the afflictions of the righteous. But the Lord delivers him out of them all.
Pastor Heather prays…
You’re the defender of my heart. The defender.
The commander of the angel armies is the defender of your heart.
He goes before you. He goes behind you. He is surrounding you. Over, above, beyond.
The Lord our God, the commander of angel armies goes before you into battle.
So stand and watch the deliverance of the Lord. Oh, for surely you will not walk alone.
For the Greater One is with you. Far above every principality and power.
For if He is for us, who shall be against us? Whom shall we fear? Nothing and nobody.
He fights our battles. He’s given us every weapon for bringing down strongholds to create and to change atmospheres.
He’s given you that power. So put the sword in your mouth now and swing your sword.
Darkness will not win…
Yes, the world will get darker, but the church will get brighter.
For such a time as this you’ve been brought into the kingdom.
Darkness will not win. No, no, no. For He will raise up a standard.
It’s time for the church to awaken and use her gifts…
Oh, church, it’s time to be about the Father’s business. Oh, awaken.
Oh, we call the bride of Christ. Awaken. We’re calling out to you now. The time for sleeping is over.
Oh, it’s time to be awake, to be alert, to remember who you are called to be.
To remember the gifts that were placed in you by the laying on of hands.
To remember the gift of the Holy Spirit in you, moving, speaking.
Oh, yes, dynamite power is inside of you. So use that power. Use your authority.
Church, use your authority to speak…
Don’t watch the news and sit around in doom and fear. No, no, no, no. Use your authority now.
Speak to circumstances.
Speak to your household.
Speak over your family.
Speak over your neighborhood.
Speak over your government.
Speak over your state.
Speak over your nation.
Watch and pray. Don’t just watch. Watch and pray.
And see with the eyes of the Spirit, not just the eyes of the natural, the eyes of the Spirit.
See what He’s doing. See what God is doing.
For we will not be overwhelmed with darkness.
God is moving. So get in your places, Church.
Prayer about abandoned stations…
We cannot have abandoned stations. So now let’s pray over that, abandoned stations.
Thank You, Father, you are calling people to those stations now, calling them back to the callings.
For the gifts and the callings of God are without repentance.
So now we’re calling the body of Christ to get to your stations, get to your places.
Past distractions. Those are fleeting. But the things of God are eternal. So be about your eternal business.
Oh, help us, Lord. Help us to have spiritual eyes, not just carnal eyes, carnal lives.
But to lead spiritual lives, godly lives.
That we’re more aware of the supernatural than the natural.
Strengthen us, Lord. A strengthening for the body of Christ.
Back to the basics of the Word. The basics of prayer.
No more side trails. No more distractions. No more busyness for busyness’ sake.
That we would be more like Mary and not Martha…
But that we would choose the one thing, the right thing.
That we’d be like Mary and not like Martha, just busy, busy, busy, busy, busy. That we choose the better thing.
Thank You, Holy Spirit, for a drawing now. You’re drawing hearts back to You with Your loving kindness.
Drawing the bride of Christ back to You.
Calling us back to our first love…
For there’s too many side love affairs, but You’re calling us back to our first love.
Oh, that our hearts would yearn for our first love, our true love.
For no one loves us like You do, Jesus.
That we wouldn’t be lukewarm, but that we’d be fiery, hot, passionate.
So spark those flames now. No more embers, no more little embers, but flames.
Hunger in the church. Awakening in the church.
Blow, blow, blow, Holy Spirit.
Light those flames.
He won’t do it for you. You have to pursue Him. You have to pursue your first love. You have to come back.
He’s waiting on us to get in our places…
I see the body of Christ, and we’re waiting.
And He says, “What are you waiting for?”
He’s waiting on us to get into our place.
To realize who we are, the power that He’s placed inside of us. Children of God.
Daughters and sons of the Most High. Seated with Him in heavenly places.
Everything has been placed under our feet. So walk. That thing is under your feet, so go, go, go.
What are you waiting for? The time is now.
So run your race. On your mark, get set, go.
And you will be strengthened. You will be empowered. You will be equipped as you run.
Go, go, go, go. No more sitting on your hands and watching. No more spectators.
You’ve been called for such a time as this, so use your gifts.
Come on, church. So stir each other up.
Just how steel sharpens steel, stir, stir, stir. We’re stirring each other up, the body of Christ.
The hands, the feet, the eyes, the heart, the brain. Working together now.
No more strife in the body. We’re only hurting ourselves.
Working together. Working in unity. For His kingdom, for His purpose.
So we speak unity over the body of Christ.
Awakening, awakening, awakening, awakening, awakenings, awakenings.
Within the church, outside of the church.
That there’d be a recognizing of the deep, deep need for His presence.
That we can’t do it alone.
Calling the prodigal sons back into the fold…
That we come to the end of ourselves like the prodigal son sitting in the pig pen.
And we say, “No, no, no. It’s time to go back to my Father. I need Him.”
I thought I had everything figured out, but no, no, no. His ways are better. His ways are higher.
You might as well do it the right way the first time. Do it His way.
For you can’t outrun the gifts and the callings of God.
Yeah, so we call those prodigal sons, those prodigal daughters, back to the church now.
Your Father is waiting with a ring and a robe.
He’s not waiting to punish you.
He’s not waiting to yell at you.
He’s waiting to embrace you, to put on a ring and a robe, and to welcome you back into the fold.
So we call them back, those that are out, those that have been callous, those that have been searching, those that have been running, those that have been numbing the call in their lives.
We call them back now, in the name of Jesus, come back.
The world will never fill that empty hole in your heart.
Drugs won’t fill it. Alcohol won’t fill it. Money won’t fill it. Relationships won’t fill it. Jobs won’t fill it. Distraction won’t fill it. No, no, no.
Only the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords can fill that spot. So we call you back.
To true peace, true love, true acceptance.
Even those of us that are on little mini side journeys, time to come back.
Make Him the one thing, the main thing, the only thing.
For that’s where true peace, true happiness is.
In His presence, in His calling, right in the middle of the will of God.
That’s the only place you’ll be happy.
Everything else is fleeting and temporary.
So now we call back the body of Christ.
Every small varying degree of separation or running, we call you back now.
And we bind every assignment of the enemy over our loved ones, over our family, over our friends.
And we say that we call them back now to the kingdom.
Call out your loved ones by name. They’re coming back.
Seeing ourselves walking in the higher ways of God…
Back into the will of God for their lives. The plan that’s so much higher than their earthly plans, their natural plans.
So now see yourselves walking in the highest, the best will of God for your life.
Filled with His power, filled with His presence.
Yeah, we see that. We see that, Lord.
We see our loved ones, we see ourselves walking that high and narrow way.
Walking in your gifts and miracles, walking in your callings. Walking in your power.
So we declare that today.
So show us, Lord, if there’s things that need to change.
The Great Surgeon will operate…
You are the great surgeon. Go in and do your best surgery now.
Cutting away flesh and spirit. Cutting away those things that don’t need to be there, those things that are distracting.
It could even be good things, but it’s not God things.
So now you cut away, you show us.
But you’re gentle. Your hand is so careful and gentle. And it’s for our good. Removing away blockages.
So cooperate. Cooperate with the Holy Spirit.
Let Him operate through you.
Let Him move through you.
For He needs hands, He needs feet, He needs mouthpieces like never before.
So make yourself available by yielding.
What does it mean to yield?
To allow Him to have the right of way. Not our way. But Your way, Father.
We yield every desire, every hope, every dream, every distraction, every sin that tries to hold us.
We yield now to you, Holy Spirit.
Everything that tries to lift itself up against the knowledge of God, no, no, we yield that now to the power of the Holy Spirit.
We yield our members to the Holy Spirit.
We yield our tongue, our thoughts, our ways to the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, the Helper.
The Spirit of the Living God is working and moving inside of us.
Looking to where our help comes from…
Psalm 121: I looked in the mountains. Does my help come from there?
My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth.
He will not let you stumble.
The one who watches over you will not slumber.
Indeed, He who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps.
The Lord Himself watches over you.
The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade.
The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon at night.
The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life.
The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go both now and forever.
