Father, we welcome you. Jesus, we welcome you. Holy Spirit, we welcome you.
We worship you this morning. We worship you. Lift you up, give you praise, glory, honor.
We thank you for being part of your kingdom, for being in your will. We thank you that you see
what we need even before we know what we need. And you're already in the process of providing it.
Thank you. Thank you. We thank you that all victory, Jesus, all victory over any demonic thing,
over any sin thing has already been bought and paid for and accomplished. Thank you for that.
We choose to walk in what has been bought and paid for. Jesus, we thank you that you are continually
before the throne and being our advocate, being our lawyer, that you are continually standing up
for your people. We thank you for that. And Holy Spirit, we thank you that you are with us,
that you are patient, that you are kind, that you are willing to live in very unholy,
unclean vessels compared to the kingdom of heaven. Our flesh is still fallen and you're
willing to live in here with us even though you are the exact representation of holiness and
purity. We thank you for being willing to walk with us and talk with us and guide us and
lead us and work us through this life. We thank you. So Lord, we ask that by your spirit you open
up the Word to us this morning, help it to get past our heads and to drop into our heart
so that it produces a long-term fruit in us, in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. This morning I want
to talk a little bit about praying the Word and then we're going to do a little of that.
Praying the Word or praying the Scripture, that falls into three categories. You've got the written Word,
you have the written Word that has become Ramah to you, or the written Word that's spoken to us,
and then you also have the Word that, or words that God has specifically, or the Holy Spirit
has specifically spoken to you. Maybe not Scripture, maybe not out of the Word, but
there are Ramah words he spoke to you. We include those when we're praying because those are specific
promises made to us personally by God. But obviously the Word is supreme here. So I want to
look at some examples of this. One of the best intercessors that you find in Scripture
to show us, even in the Old Testament he knew this principle, is Moses. And I want to go there
and read this to you. Exodus 32, we're going to start at verse number seven. And go down through
verse 14, and I'm in the New King James Version. So Moses is on the mountain with God. The 40 days
he was up there. And the Lord said to Moses, verse seven, Go get down, for your people
whom you brought out of the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves. They have turned aside quickly
out of the way which I commanded them. They have made themselves a molded calf, and worshiped it,
and sacrificed to it, and said, this is your God, O Israel, that brought you up out of the
land of Egypt. So there's the setting. There's God's clueing Moses into what's going on down
below. And the Lord said to Moses, I've seen this people, and indeed it is a stiff-necked
people. In other words, stubborn, stubborn bunch. Now therefore, let me alone that my wrath may burn
hot against them, and I may consume them, and I will make of you a great nation. And this is a
side thought from praying the word. But he said, now let me alone. Apparently there was good
communication going on between Moses and God. And Moses was an interceder kind of person. We're
going to see that here in a bit. The thing that many times people can miss here is God offered
something to Moses that really could appeal to his flesh. Pride. Let me get rid of them,
and let's start over with you. Wow. So God is actually contemplating that.
Then Moses pleaded with the Lord his God. So many times we plead with God, but we don't
do it in a way that is productive. The thing we have to remember is we have no standing with
God whatsoever outside of covenant. Outside of covenant, his word, his will, I'm going to say
his will, but will doesn't mean what he wants. Will, I'm referring to, if you go to some of
the old Bibles, it has the, in front of the Old Testament, it has the old will in
Testament, and then you go to the new one. It goes to the new will in Testament. It's
a legal document, the scripture. And when we come to God, we have to come on a legal basis.
This isn't just a emotional experience, an emotional thing that God decided to do.
Everything that God did in the redemption and in the salvation of man and so forth
is a very legal thing that is carried out in that realm, so that you don't have
the prosecuting attorney, the accuser of the brethren, able to go before the throne and
say this isn't legal. Our attorney, Jesus, our advocate goes before the throne to defend us.
So this, the whole scriptural thing is a very legal document from God's perspective.
So we have no standing. It's like, it's like you're a child and your parents died
and the lawyers opening the will. If you're not in the will, you have no standing.
Now you can sue, you can go to court, you can do, I was one of the kids, I was the favorite,
blah blah blah. It's what's in the legal document that gives you your standing.
When we go before the throne, it's what's in the legal document that gives us our standing.
Otherwise, we have no standing. So Moses pleaded with the Lord his God. A lot of Christians
do that, but they don't get anywhere because we don't come on the basis of our legal standing.
And he said, Lord, why does your wrath burn hot against your people whom you have brought out
of the land of Egypt with great power and a mighty hand? Why should the Egyptians speak and say
he brought them out to harm them, to kill them in the mountains, to consume them from
the face of the earth? Turn from your fierce wrath and relent from this harm to your people.
So there's his plea. What gives him right to even speak to God about that? Next verse.
Now he's going back to the word. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, or Israel. Your
servants to whom you swore by your own self and said to them. So he's bringing his plea
before the Father on the basis of what the Father has already said. He is now praying the word.
The word of God. You said, I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven and all
this land that I've spoken of. I give to your descendants and they shall inherit it forever.
So the Lord relented from the harm which he said he would do to his people. Why? Because
Moses reminded him of his word. That is our legal standing. That is what gives us the right to,
how would you say, get in front of God and change things up. Go with me to Matthew. Let's
when they're praying, the scriptures they're using are not New Testament scriptures because
those haven't been written yet. They're coming out of the Old Testament scriptures and what
those scriptures had to say about God. So Jesus, Matthew 6 verse 9. He's talking about prayer.
He says, after this manner, therefore pray. Our Father in heaven, hell would be your name.
He's quoting word. Now, he's not saying, well, and do it around me three, blah, blah, blah,
blah, but he's quoting word. Our Father. What does the word Father mean?
What does the word Father mean? Nope, not Daddy, not there. Generator, originator, source.
The word Father almost all the way through Scripture means generator, originator, source.
Now, if you throw Abba in front of it, you can end up with more of an intimate term.
So Jesus is saying, when you pray, start by acknowledging who is the originator of this
whole thing. Where does that come out of? Genesis 1. So right from the beginning he's saying, Genesis
1, our Father, which art in heaven. Well, he clarifies that later. There is another Father
who is not of heaven. He's of this earth. He's the Father of lies. Hallowed be your name.
Well, we know that he's quoting Scripture there because when Satan came to tempt him,
he said, there's only one you're supposed to worship. It is written. You shall worship
God and him only. Well, hallowed, making holy hallowed reverence worshiping his name.
So he starts right out of the gate saying, start with Scripture in your mouth. Pray the word.
Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
The concept of God having a kingdom comes, does come out of the Old Testament.
I'm going to let you think on that one. You find it. Give us this day our daily bread. Well,
why would he say that? Because every good thing comes from the Father of light.
Why? Because he's the originator. He's the generator. He's the one it begins from.
Forgive us our sins as we forgive our debtors. Forgiveness was spoken of all through the Old
Testament. I mean, that one, that one's easy to find. And do not lead us in temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one. So the concept of following God, he asked the
children of Israel to follow him. Numerous ways, the cloud, the fire, the kings,
the judges, numerous ways, follow. So that's an Old Testament concept. He's praying the word.
He's praying what the Father already wanted. Lead me. Deliver us from evil evil. We could
take it apart piece by piece. Not going to do that. For yours is the kingdom, the power,
and the glory forever. Amen. Paul said it this way. Jesus will submit himself back to
the Father so that God may be all in all. Where does that concept come from? The Father being all
in all. I mean, he is all encompassing of all. It's absolutely Old Testament.
So Jesus laid out a prayer for us based on the word. Go to Paul with me. Ephesians
I believe it's verse 15. Yes. Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus
and your love for all the saints. So he heard there's new born Christians in Ephesus.
I do not cease to give thanks for you and making not end. I do not cease to give
thanks for you making mention of you in my prayers. So what was Paul praying for these
new Christians? That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ. So we're talking Father, Son,
the Father of glory may give you the spirit of wisdom. New King James has that small there.
If you look in your Bible, it's at least in mine. It's a small s. That should be a capital s.
He's not talking about some new age spirit that's going to float out there. He's talking about
the Holy Spirit. So that the Father, Son, Holy Spirit. So already he's talking three,
the Trinity. Where does that come from? Comes from the Old Testament name Elohim.
The Trinity. That is the God of creation. You find it right away in Genesis 1.
So right from the beginning he's saying, I'm praying a scriptural concept here.
We're dealing with the three who are one.
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory. So it's the Father may give you
the spirit of wisdom and revelation. Why the Father give that? Why not Jesus?
I already answered that earlier. Think back. The name Father is the originator.
Everything comes from the Father. Through Jesus and the Holy Spirit takes it and makes it alive
and applies it to us as he lives with us in an everyday basis. What is he praying for?
Wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of the Father, him.
Why knowledge of him? Well, my, what doesn't it say some place in the Old Testament? My people
perish for lack of knowledge. And what does Proverbs say over and over? Wisdom and revelation.
I pray you get wisdom, revelation, understanding, prudence, insight. So Paul is taking, remember
the word and praying it over these people. He isn't just getting emotional and saying these things.
He's praying the word. The eyes of your understanding being enlightened. Again,
Proverbs talks about that, that you may know the hope of his calling, the Father's calling,
that you may know the hope of his calling. What are the riches of the glory of the glory of
his inheritance in the saints? Now Paul had received, I'm going to take that verse and I'm
going to tie it to Galatians two when after Paul was saved, he immediately began preaching.
So he saw some things, but we don't know what he began preaching. Was it accurate? Was it not?
Because you're taking someone who was a legalist of legalists in the Pharisee realm and you're
bringing them over to grace. And he was last week trying to kill the Christians. This week
he's, he's touting Jesus as the way. Where did he get the correct information to make that
shift? Okay, so I'm going to tie what he says, a few of these things to Galatians two. After Paul
was saved, he began preaching. And then God took him into the desert of Arabia
for I believe it was three and a half years, I didn't look it up.
Three and a half years to be taught by Jesus. This is in Galatians two.
Then he came out and met with the leaders of the church and so forth. Paul was given a,
it's called the Pauline revelation, if you want to get technical, Paul was given a huge revelation
of grace and what Jesus had done and how that applies to the church. He had an immense
understanding of the Old Testament. So Jesus just showed him all the pictures and types and
said, here's where we're going. Well, if this is where we're going, verse 18, I'm praying that the
eyes of your understanding would be enlightened that you may know the hope of this calling,
or his calling. What are the riches of his and glory, of his inheritance in the saints?
And what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe
according to his mighty power, according to his mighty dunamis? Where did Paul learn all that?
He learned that in the desert of Arabia. This was Jesus speaking to him, giving him the revelation
of what is happening, where are we going, and this is what you have to reveal to the church.
So here we're dealing with, I mean, there's elements of that you can find in the Old
Testament, but some of that is brand new. You don't find it in the Old Testament.
Well, where did Paul get it? He got it straight from Jesus' mouth.
So he's praying what Jesus revealed to him and told him. That is quick application. When we're praying
and we see a vision, we see a picture, we hear something from God, deal with this, pray this,
whatever. There is the format for us to pray because that is hearing from God by the Spirit.
Well, can you pray that? Absolutely. He just spoke to you.
You still following me? You're still tracking? Am I going too fast for you?
When he speaks to you, you're going down a prayer line, you get a word of knowledge. You're
going through Walmart and God says, there, that person go talk to him. I need you to pray
for them. I can see if he can get an opening. You just heard from the Spirit.
That is a spoken word of God. Now, it's not on the same level as the written word of God. I mean,
don't put it there. It's not the same level. But the Holy Spirit is guiding and directing. He's
speaking to you. If you keep listening, he'll tell you what to pray. He'll tell you what to say.
That's what Paul's doing right here. Verse 20,
which he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at the right hand
in heavenly places, far above all principality, power, might, dominion, every name that is named,
not only in this age, but the age that is to come, putting all things under his feet,
gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of
him who fills it all in all. You can find elements of that, sprinklings of that in the Old Testament.
But you don't find a lot. Why? Because this is the shift of the New Covenant. This is the
shift of the New Testament. Paul is praying the Word. He's praying the Word that was spoken
to him. So when God speaks something to you, you pray it. You speak it. You call it because
it's a personal promise to you. You have the right to go before the throne with that. It's
what gives you the authority to do it. The thing we have to remember is without the Word, there
is no faith. I mean, you've heard different ministers say no Word, no faith. See, the Word
is what gives us the authority to come before the throne. It is the legal document that gives
us the right to stand before God and address him. It is also, you know, Romans 10, 17,
faith cometh by hearing the Word that's dealing with the reima. So if we don't have the reima,
if we don't have the words of God, the spoken Word of God, he said something to us, we have no faith.
Because faith comes by getting that spoken Word to you. So if we go before the throne,
we're praying for something without any Word. We're standing there without faith.
So what are we praying on? Is it our emotion? We might be praying out of emotion.
Emotion doesn't move God. Or he would be doing a lot on this earth.
Are we praying out of our need? Maybe we're just that needy.
Need doesn't move God either. Or again, he would be doing mega things on this earth,
because there is a lot of need. Well, we're praying because we're a child of God. On what basis are
you a child of God? It's on the basis of the Word. Are you in the will? Are you in the Word?
Are you there?
So to pray without the Word is to pray outside of faith. The only thing that moves God is faith.
And how is faith activated? The Word of faith is
nigh thee, even in your mouth. Faith is activated the most by what we say.
Now, James said, show me your faith and I'll show you works, because faith and how you live life
go together. So yes, it's more than that. But the thing that I am positive sets us apart from
all the rest of creation as human beings, being made in the image and likeness of God.
Is our ability to create with our mouth. That is God. Our ability to create with our mouth.
Faith is near you, even in your mouth. Faith comes by the Word. So the Word has to be in our
mouth. Or it's not faith. So God, we're just asking you help us because we need you. We need you.
I don't know if I can do this. I feel like quitting. God, if there's anything you can
possibly do, please help us. How high do you think that prayer goes?
If you're a really baby, baby Christian, that'll go all the way to the throne.
If you've lived for God any length of time at all, it probably didn't make it past the
ceiling. It's not a scriptural prayer. You're coming to God as a beggar.
So first of all, we're not even realizing we're not beggars.
We are inheritors. We are children. We are sons. The covenant, which is the legal
document which gives us legal standing, was given to us. So we have to include faith of the Word
in all of our life, but specifically when we pray. Without the Word, there's very few
confirmations, signs and wonders from God. Because what did God say? Mark 16, 17, 20,
Acts 14, 3, Hebrews 2, 3, and 4, he confirms the Word with signs that follow. So how do we pray the
Word? We're going to take a little bit here and we're going to pray the Word. And I've asked a
couple of guys who I... there's numerous ones I could ask, but I just asked a couple of the
board members to help me with this and have them pray about something that's on their heart
and show us how they pray the Word because I've heard them pray the Word.
And remember, you can pray the written Word. You can pray the written Word that has been spoken to
you, which is rama. And sometimes when I get praying, this is my experience. If I will start
praying the written Word, the rama will come on the spot. And it's like the Holy Spirit will
grab it and say, pray that. That's a rama. He just spoke to me and gives me something right
on the spot. So you've got the written Word. You've got the written Word, which has been
spoken to us. And then you've got the things that have been spoken to us, not even in the Word.
Like for instance, old example, you've heard it many times, but just a refresher,
Mary will be as Jacks. That was a spoken Word of God to me. I pray that... I still do.
I pray that many times. You say you'll never find that in the book. You are 100% right.
It's not in the book. It was a rama Word to me. Promise to me. So the Word has to be the
basis of everything we pray. It's what gives us our standing. So I'll pray last.
Dean, Matt, either one of you want to be first and whatever God has laid on your heart,
however you want to pray, I just want you to pray the way you normally pray. It might make
you nervous. Like, oh man, I'm in front of people on people. Just pray like you normally pray,
because when you normally pray, you pray the Word. I just had a couple of scriptures that I
wanted to make sure I got them out right. But first of all, I just want to thank God, Elohim.
Elohim, you are mighty. You are the representation of
the Trinity. Your name is the Trinity. Your name, Elohim, is all created power.
You have supremacy in all things, Elohim. And I thank you, God. I thank you, God,
that in your name, Jesus the Christ. I want to quote it from Colossians. He is the image.
He is the image of the invisible God. He is the firstborn of creation. Jesus,
while we may not see you on a day-to-day basis, you are the image of God. You are the exact
expression of who He is. You are all powerful, because God Almighty is all powerful. You are
the exact representation of Him, God. Jesus, we honor you. We honor you in that fact.
And Father, we thank you that you described Jesus in Hebrews. But in these last days,
He has spoken to us by His Son, whom we appointed heir. Thank you, Jesus, that you were
the first to be heirs. And we are coheirs, is what your word says. We inherit the promises,
Jesus, that you got from your Father. You are the first to inherit. And God, we stand
in a position of sonship. Lord God, we thank you that we stand positionally. And we take
that position. And Lord God, we receive the fact that we can inherit the promises together.
Your promises according to the word are yes and amen. Your word says that we will receive
all things to who believes God. That the righteous will live by faith, God. Lord, we are people
that live by faith. We walk by faith. Lord, we stand in this world by faith. And Lord,
God, we thank you that you've given us your Holy Spirit to live and dwell within us.
And according to John 16, he talks to us about sin. He talks to us things about what is right
and the fact that the devil's been judged, God. Holy Spirit, we thank you that you are
willing to work with us in that aspect. And while we may not be completely sanctified, God,
Holy Spirit, we thank you, Lord God, that your mercy and your grace extends to us,
to lead us and guide us in this world, God. Father, we are grateful. Father, we are grateful.
We are thank you, Lord God, for the gifts of the Spirit. And Lord God, we thank you that in
1 Timothy, Lord, it talks about the gifts of the Spirit. And then you said that we are not to
be timid. We are not to be timid. But Lord God, we are to operate in the gifts of the Spirit.
Lord God, not for our own exaltation, but to see this world lost, to see a world reached, God.
Holy Spirit, help us to walk that out. Holy Spirit, we need your help, Lord God,
because pride is very active. Lord God, and we don't want to get in a place of pride.
Lord, we want to walk humbly. Lord, we want to walk just the way Micah 6-8 says,
to walk humbly before you. Lord God, we want to stay in that place, Lord God, where we're able
to be used of you, God. Teach us, Holy Spirit. Teach us, Holy Spirit, to walk that way.
Thank you, God. Thank you, God. And Father, we give you honor and glory.
Elohim, we give you honor and glory. We thank you for the name of Jesus, which is above every
name. And Lord God, we thank you that all creation, all spiritual, physical, Lord,
even the realms, Lord God, that are against us, they rely on you even for their existence.
Colossians says that all of creation depends on you. So, Holy Spirit, we're asking, Lord God,
that you take us, your ecclesia, your church, Lord your bride. Lord, use us in a way, Lord God,
that represents your kingdom. Lord God to reach, Lord God to have influence. Lord God in all the
areas, Lord God, where you would have your church to be. Lord God, I pray by your spirit that
you rise up within us, that you stir our hearts, God, that you fend the flame. Lord God of
the gifts that have been placed upon us with the legion of hands, God. Stir that up, God.
And Father God, I take the personal word that you have given me, that word. I will be amazed.
Lord God, I thank you. Lord God, that the word amazed is reigning to me. And Lord God,
I walk in this world amazed by your power. I walk in this world amazed by what you do.
Lord God, I walk amazed. Lord God, by the opportunity. Lord God, the doors you open.
Lord God, the places you put us at. Lord God, I'm amazed how good a God you are.
You are faithful. There is no turning. Lord God, you are the same today, yesterday and forever.
Hallelujah. Glory and honor be to Almighty God. And I pray, Lord God, that just as Pastor
taught about ineffesance, Lord, stir that up in us all as a body, that all of our eyes are enlightened.
Lord God, those are things. Lord God, that we call and pray for. In Jesus' name. In Jesus' name.
And Lord, we speak. Lord God, that we are people of prayer. We pray favorably. Lord God, Lord God,
that we pray filled with faith. Lord God, filled with the knowledge and the wisdom of God.
Our eyes are opened. Our eyes are opened. God, I declare it and I speak it.
Our eyes are open to our inheritance. We call it. Lord God, we walk in and we stand in it.
In the mighty name of Jesus, the Christ Lord Almighty. We call it and we speak it. In Jesus' name.
Amen.
Well, Matt's coming. Let me just reference one thing. He said something that was spoken to him,
a rainbow word to him is the word amazed. I was just talking to the Lord about it this week.
Before we moved to this building, when we were still in the modular,
the Lord told me He said the building, I'll try to get the words exact,
the building will amaze you. And when we went after this one,
for those of you who've been with us, remember I said a couple of times, I said this is not
the amazing one. This is the stepping stone. Remember that, Matt? And I reminded him this week,
you know, you get talking to, you have to guard your heart because you get talking to all these
people and what needs to be done and it starts looking like such a overwhelmingly large thing.
It's like, okay, God, well, if we pull this off kind of thing starts going through you.
And I reminded him, I said, God, you told me I'd be amazed. So I'm holding you to that.
Go ahead, Matt. Well, and I just want to real quickly share with
Adam what Pastor said about how it works for him. So if you're like me,
I can't quote Malachi 6, 8, like that doesn't work for me, right? I just, that's not how I recall.
But sometimes the Holy Spirit will whisper a word or you'll hear a fainting of a scripture,
right? Oh, I remember a pastor said this, then you go find it in the word, you seek it out,
then you stand on that and then it builds from there. So just want to encourage you for that,
if you think, I can't quote all these scripts, it's not that, right? Out of the abundance
of the heart, the mouth speaks, right? So Father, we thank you. Father, we thank you. We come before
you this morning, thankful, a thankful people. We thank you for all you've done in our, in our
lives this week and all you're doing in this body. We thank you for who you are. And that
is a God that loves us, a God that has sent his son Jesus to die for us, just the one.
Father, we acknowledge you as King, as Lord of this universe. Jesus, we acknowledge you as Lord
and Savior of our lives. Father, we thank you for that, Jesus, we thank you for your spirit who
leads and guides and directs us. I come before you, Lord, and what I feel you put on my heart,
and that is for unity on this body. Unity on this body, Lord. So where any strife is starting
to well up, where any pride comes before it, Lord, we come before you and ask that you burn
this out of this body. Lord, we ask that our actions be worthy of the gospel, that the
actions be worthy of the gospel that was preached and that Jesus lived and died for. So Father,
we thank you for that. We come before you, Lord, so that the works that you have done,
like Pastor said, that the works that you've put before us will not be about us,
but it'll be about you, so that we do not hinder what you want to do here. We see the
word that you've given this body come to pass. Father, it's not about us, where we say,
I, Lord, would turn it around to you. We turn it around that you do this. We can't do anything
without you, as your word says. Lord, we thank you for that. We ask for humility on this body,
a humility in this body, a unity where we come together for one purpose, and that is to know
you, Jesus, and that is to share your love throughout this community. Kuso, Lord.
The other peace, Father, that I want to pray. Lord, I pray Ephesians 6 over us, not as individuals,
but as a body. For the parts that we sit as a body, whether we're in the janitorial service,
whether we're on stage or whatever it is, we pray as a body that the Ephesians 6,
the armor of the Lord, will cover us as a corporate body in each of those different
functions. Father, I thank you for that. I thank you that you have given provision for us.
You have given your spirit to lead us and to guide us. And we ask for your will to be done here,
Lord, and that we are sensitive to your spirit in Jesus' name. In Jesus' name. So stand with me
as we pray for the service. Heavenly Father, we obey what you told us to do by your spirit,
which is forsaken out the assembling of yourselves together, and so much more as you see the day
approaching and we see the day approaching. So Father, we're here to be in obedience to your word.
We know that you want to meet with your people many times more than we even want to meet with
you. So we ask that by your spirit we call the anointing to come and to begin to rub
and to smear on us. We call for the presence of Almighty God to come and invade this place,
not so that we can say anything that would be to our credit, but that you, as you're standing at
the church of Laodicea, knocking on their door saying, let me in, that we would be that people
that opens the door for you to come in and to speak to us, convince us of what is wrong in
our lives, convince us of what is right, and convince us that the demonic cannot stop us,
they cannot hinder us, they are already judged. We ask that by your spirit this morning you
move in us corporately, we pray you move in us individually. It's not by might, it's not by
power, but it's by my spirit, says the Lord of Hosts, the Lord Jehovah Samoeth, the Lord of War
service in the appointed time. So we call on you, Father Jehovah Samoeth, that by your spirit
you war on behalf of us this morning, individually work in our hearts,
corporately work in this body, take us where you need us to go today to be changed another realm
from glory to glory to bring forth the image of your Son more clearly in Jesus' name. Amen.
