Such a powerful prayer meeting this morning. Here is a quick recap...

BE YE THANKFUL!
We have so much to be thankful for.
This week we are going to be thankful in everything we do and everywhere we go.

Psalm 100:1-5
Make a Joyful noise unto the Lord
Server the Lord with gladness
Come before His presence with singing
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving
Enter into His courts with praise
Be thankful unto Him
Bless His name.

Psalm 126: The Lord has done great things for us, whereof we are glad...

We are going to praise him that the glass is 10% full (even though it may still 90% empty)

The curse came on the Children of Israel because they didn't serve the Lord with gladness.

Deuteronomy 28:47-48
Because thou servedst not the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;
Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies...

If you are not joyful, you are not in Faith. Thankfulness and joy keep the switch of faith turned on.

Romans 15:13
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Every we go this week, we are going to be thankful!

Be Blessed...

The first coming of Jesus involved many people who helped prepare the way, besides the obvious, John The Baptist.

Many prophets and writers of scripture prophesied the coming Messiah.

Mary - Jesus mother. She was a young woman of grace and character. God's hand was upon her.

Joseph - had no biological part of fathering Jesus but was hand picked by God to help raise Jesus. Also a man of great character.

Other Significant - Zechariah and Elizabeth, with Elizabeth prophesying to Mary. There were Wiseman and others who came to see the baby Jesus because of the signs in heaven bearing gifts and to worship Him.

Anna and Simeon - There were others who prayed. The bible mentions a glimpse of these at the end of their Ministries but they prayed for many years. Anna had given her life since she had been widowed, living in the temple and praying for this event to come to pass. Simeon was also devoted to prayer in the temple.

The second coming of Jesus will also involve many different people. As an example, there are many who fit into a similar function as Anna and Simeon, giving their lives in a ministry of prayer to help bring back the King.

Just as preparation was made for Jesus' first coming, preparation is being made even now for His second coming. There are those who are preparing the way for His returns just as John The Baptist did for His first coming.

"He who testifies to these things says, 'Surely I am coming quickly.' Amen. Even so, come. Lord Jesus!" (Rev 22:20)

There are 2 major events on God's calendar which give Christians purpose and direction for their lives.
1. Jesus first coming
2. Jesus second coming

Without Jesus second coming in focus, we will only live our lives for the here and now and God's purpose for our life will be lost and we'll not reach our destiny.

This move of God will be different. For you see, there are different reasons for this move. There are different things that need to happen in this move. And so He said to me. There will be moves over here of salvation. There will be moves over here of submission or calling out to God... Of repentance.
This move in your midst is a move of drawing closer to God, Listening to my voice and fulfilling the plans that I have for you, says the Lord.
And so you see this move of revival in our midst is different from the move in other places. It's different guys. Because you see, we know the truth. But we've let some of it slip. We're not as intense about some things as we used to be. We're not as intense about our confessions as we used to be. We don't use our faith as much as we used to. We're not as excited about the things of God as we used to be. Oh yeah, I know. We all have battle scars. We all have disappointments... There are those of you out here..because there were things you have asked God for, and it didn't happen. Didn't happen. And because of that you've hardened your heart. You've hardened your heart. And when we harden our heart, we can't hear from God. We can't hear from God. And so we cannot let seemingly failures keep us from receiving everything that God has for us and following His Plan.
Hebrews 2:1-4 NLT
1So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it.
2For the message God delivered through angels has always stood firm, and every violation of the law and every act of disobedience was punished.
3So what makes us think we can escape if we ignore this great salvation that was first announced by the Lord Jesus himself and then delivered to us by those who heard him speak?
4And God confirmed the message by giving signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit whenever he chose.

Hebrews 3:1-15 NLT
1 And so, dear brothers and sisters who belong to God and are partners with those called to heaven, think carefully about this Jesus whom we declare to be God’s messenger and High Priest.
2 For he was faithful to God, who appointed him, just as Moses served faithfully when he was entrusted with God’s entire house.
3 But Jesus deserves far more glory than Moses, just as a person who builds a house deserves more praise than the house itself.
4 For every house has a builder, but the one who built everything is God.
5 Moses was certainly faithful in God’s house as a servant. His work was an illustration of the truths God would reveal later.
6 But Christ, as the Son, is in charge of God’s entire house. And we are God’s house, if we keep our courage and remain confident in our hope in Christ.
7 That is why the Holy Spirit says,
“Today when you hear his voice,
8 don’t harden your hearts
as Israel did when they rebelled,
when they tested me in the wilderness.
9 There your ancestors tested and tried my patience,
even though they saw my miracles for forty years.
10 So I was angry with them, and I said,
‘Their hearts always turn away from me.
They refuse to do what I tell them.’
11 So in my anger I took an oath:
‘They will never enter my place of rest.’
12 Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God.
13 You must warn each other every day, while it is still “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God.
14 For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ.
15 Remember what it says:
“Today when you hear his voice,
don’t harden your hearts
as Israel did when they rebelled."

Acts 2:1 - ...they were all with one accord in one place
Acts 4:23 & 31 - ...they lifted up their voice in one accord. And when they had prayed, the place was skaken...and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and spake the word of God with boldness.

There's power in corporate united prayer... when believers pray together in unity.
The early church prayed together regularly.
One will chase a thousand and Two will put ten thousand to flight. Deut 33:10-Josh 23:10.
We have to work to stay in unity and pray...that's how the power flows.

Friend, You may have suffered a hurt or offense in the past that harmed you terribly. In fact, it may have even robbed you of something that can never be returned or restored. But if you refuse to forgive — if you refuse to let go of anger, animosity, and bitterness — that offense will continue to work its destruction in your life. A past-tense problem will become a present-tense issue if you refuse to let go of your bitterness. As the bishop of your own heart, you are the only one who has the authority to rip the root of bitterness and offense out of your heart. If you don’t get over that past offense, you will give it the power to damage and even destroy your future as you drag it along like a bag of garbage or toxic waste. At some point, you have to just let it go and get over the offense for your own benefit.

Everyone knows God judges sin. Everyone knows God hates sin. But few come to realize how God is able to judge sin without destroying man.

You see, while on the cross Jesus became our sin. At that point, God judged that sin and gave it all the curse it rightfully deserved. Isaiah 53:5 says, "He was wounded (tormented) for our transgressions, He was bruised for our in iniquities: the chastisement for our peace was upon Him..."When Jesus became sin, God judged sin in Him to deliver us from that judgment.

This is more than deliverance from a future hell. This is deliverance from the curse or the penalty of our sins in this present life. The Jews had a hope of the resurrection, but they did not have any good news about the here and now. They saw God as judgmental and angry until Jesus came and told them the good news about the curse of the law, the good news about God's dealings with sin, the good news that they were free from that penalty NOW!
