Prophecy and Praise

'For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings. For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying,

“I will proclaim Your name to My brethren,
In the midst of the congregation I will sing Your praise.” (Psalm 22:22)

And again,

“I will put My trust in Him.” (Isaiah 8:17)

And again,

“Behold, I and the children whom God has given Me.” (Isaiah 8:18) Hebrews 2:10-13 (NASB)

The Psalmist prophesied of the coming of the Messiah and the New Testament revealed how God was able to bring many sons and daughters to glory through His suffering. Christ was perfected through His death and Glorified through His resurrection and He lives to sanctify those who are sanctified. Nor is He ashamed to call us brothers and sisters.

Jesus calls Himself one of us when we meet Him there. How very important is our praise to Heavenly Father. We've got to welcome Him there. Notice the purpose of it. Jesus Himself joins in the song of praise. Praise therefore then, releases the spirit of prophetic revelation. How much more a song sung in the Spirit?

When I praise You, God, Christ Himself comes to fill my mind with thoughts of Your glorious name. You are magnified by and through Your Son. The entire congregation is edified through Your praise. There You are Lord in the midst. Singing and glorifying God with the children that He has given thee.

Lord, when I sing praises to God I know that You are there. You are always welcome. You call me sister. I've seen Your face. I've heard Your voice. I've felt your presence. You call me daughter. I know You and I need to hear another prophetic word of encouragement from You. You say 'put your trust in God'. I will put my trust in Him! My exhortations of praise bring comfort to my mind, body and soul as I am filled with Your Glory.

Thank You Lord for Your mighty Presence. Thank you for Your Word. Fill Your House with praise. As we gather to praise You, the whole House is filled with Your Glory and we, the congregation are blessed.

Called Forth to Life

'When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last—  the Living One. I was dead and, see, I am alive forever and ever! I also hold the keys of death and hell .' Revelation 1:17-18 (EHV) Dear Father.  Because of You and who You are I do not fear. You are Divine. You are Eternal. You are God. You were here before the world began and will be here at the end. Thank You, Father, for sending Your Son Jesus Christ, the Living One, to die for me. I recognized that I was a sinner and I made Jesus Lord of my life. Though You suffered and died, I know that Jesus lives and that He is my life source. Without Him I am nothing. He has complete authority. He has the power over life and death. He controls not only when I die but where I will go after I die as well.You comfort me with Your Word.  Let me be forever grateful and obey Your Word and live my life for Him. Jesus, You alone hav

Sending Out Invitations to the Concert

'We are confident that God is able to orchestrate everything to work toward something good and beautiful when we love Him and accept His invitation to live according to His plan. ' Romans 8:28 (VOICE) One example of God's love can be seen in the book of Esther. Lessons from the Bible can reassure us of God's love for us and they show us that His ways are good and so much higher than our own. How powerful. In Chapter three, the evil ideas of Haman, to have all the Jews exterminated, had been decreed by the king, and the money set aside in an account for the diabolical deeds and the date was set on the calendar for the bloodshed! That part is so incredible, that one man was given that much power. Just imagine it if you were a Jew. The date for the destruction of your entire race was set and the preparations to follow through with it were being made. Thankfully, our God is greater. Our God is able. He is able to confuse the bad plans of men in power. O

  ' Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual' Daniel 3:19 (NIV) To the leaders that are unprepared for the likes of young people full of passion. For the wicked rulers who demand men to bow a knee to them, and worship them like gods. To the world that has lost its way and punishes the faithful to the extreme, even death. We pray for thee. Let the world know that we worship no one but the One True God. Amen. Dear Father We pray for evil leaders that desire to turn their nation into evil. We lift up righteousness and righteous leaders, we lift You up. You are the One True God in whom we serve. You are the Holy God in whom we believe. You provide the God-fearing leaders that we need when we need them. We pray for those leaders. We pray for more people with courage to refuse to bow the knee to mere man. Even when we live in times when there seem
