 Good morning, Radiant Church. Welcome to morning prayer. If you're here in the room with us, I just invite you to stand. And if you're online, just invite you to posture your hearts in a place of worship. This morning, I felt led to open up, just praying out of Psalm 77. The first half of the Psalm, it's a Psalm of Asaph. He's just in deep anguish and he's troubled. And just through his prayers, eventually these inner fears in his heart come out. Will the Lord cast off forever and will he be favorable no more? Has his mercy ceased forever? Has his promise failed forevermore? Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Then we see that the faith of Asaph in this next verse and verse 10, and I said, this is my anguish, but I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High. I will remember the works of the Lord. Surely I will remember your wonders of old. I will also meditate on all your work and talk of your deeds. Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary. Who is so great a God is our God. You are the God who does wonders. You have declared your strength among the peoples. You have with your arm redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. And I just feel this morning that we need to enter into his sanctuary in a posture of remembrance, in a posture of thankfulness. Maybe there's something going on in your life, I'm sure there is, that it just feels like a weight. And we see the faith of Asaph, and I just feel led to posture my own heart and for us to posture our hearts in a place of remembrance, that this is my anguish, acknowledging that weight, acknowledging that fear, but choosing to remember the years of the right hand of the Most High. The right hand is the hand of favor. To choose to remember the Lord in his works, his faithfulness, his goodness that we've seen over the years. So I just invite you right now to just posture yourself in a place to search your heart, to remember the works of the Lord. Remember his kindness, his faithfulness, his tenderness towards you. The times where the world may have been closing in, but Lord, we just choose to remember right now. We choose to remember who you are, that you are good and you are holy, that you are a good father, that you take care of us. Lord, it doesn't matter how many times we mess up, you are kind, you are gracious to us. Lord, you are the one who comes and lifts that weight off of us. You have never failed and you never will. You will never fail, God, or faithful. You are faithful, you are faithful. We may not see a way through, but God, you know the way. So we just come before you this morning, and we remember those years, those hard times where we saw your faithfulness and we won't forget. May we not be ones who forget the faithfulness of the Lord. May we not be ones who forget the kindness of the Lord. May we not be ones who forget the strength and the power of the Lord. May we not be ones who forget the love of our Father, the kindness and the tenderness of our Father towards us. But would you give us eyes to see this morning, Lord? Would you give us eyes to see your kindness? Give us eyes to see the times where you came through and we didn't think you would. Would you give us eyes to see the moments where our faith failed, but you came through anyways? Would you give us eyes to see, Lord? This is where eyes to remember. Holy Spirit, would you search our hearts and help us to remember those moments? Lord, we just invite you in today and we ask for help to remember the years of the right hand of the most high. In Jesus' name. It will be my confidence today. It will be my confidence, dude. We choose the one thing we need. Would you have what cost us something, Lord? Cost us something. Would we not give you what cost us nothing? Of any cost. John 12, we see the story of Mary. Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus, who had been dead, whom had he had raised from the dead. There they made him a supper and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him. Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikennard, anointed the feet of Jesus. Wived his feet with her hair and the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil. But one of his disciples, Judas, the scariest Simon's son, who would betray him, him being Jesus. Said, why was this fragrant oil not sold for 300 denarii and given to the poor? And he said, this he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief in the money box and used to take what was put in it. And Jesus said, let her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial. For the poor you have with you always, but me. Lord, would we choose to be like Mary of Bethany? God, to take what cost is something into wasted at your feet, to give everything to you, Jesus. In this story in the Gospel of Matthew, Mary's act of worship is called a waste. Judas accuses her, but later he would trade Jesus for 30 measly pieces of silver. Whereas Mary chose to give something that was likely worth a year's wages. God, would you make us Mary of Bethany? Would you make us ones that choose to waste everything at your feet? All of our love, all of our worship, all of our tears, our whole lives, God, would we waste them at your feet? Not caring what the world says, not caring how foolish we look. Worshiping you is worth looking a fool to the world. Committing our lives to love you and to worship you and to serve you is worth. Looking like a fool to the world. Knowing you all the days of our life is worth abandoning earthly riches. For you're worth it, God, you are worth so much more than any amount of riches we can have on this side of heaven. God, would we not be ones who hold tightly to the things that are valuable to us? But would we waste them at your feet? We give you all of our love, all of our worship, all of our devotion. Would we follow you obediently and not hesitate whatever our spikenard is, God? Love you so much that we just feel compelled whenever we're in your presence to worship you extravagantly. Lord, when you call us to go somewhere to do something for your name and for your glory, would we not be ones who hesitate? What would we give you what you're rightfully worthy of? Not be like Judas who held tightly to riches of this world. Who didn't see the true value of Jesus? But would you work in our hearts, Lord? Would you work in our hearts to waste everything on you? I just wanna go back into that course one more time of let's just go back into it one more time. Your presence, you live, daily live in the presence of Jesus. We give it all to you, Lord. Just wanna shift right now into our first prayer cycle, time of intercession and feel led to pray for, for laborers, to pray for those that carry the gospel, to those unreached places, but that they would be ones who go with this posture in their hearts, that they wouldn't go before they know Jesus, before they truly know the value of Him. And Matthew 28, verse 18, Jesus gives the great commission. He says, all authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth, go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. So God, we just pray right now. We pray for laborers, God. We pray for people who choose to give their lives to the sharing of the gospel, that you would raise up ones who have a passion to see people, groups, nations, and tribes reached with the story of Jesus. But God, would it not be some story that they read in the book? Would it be the story of how you captivated their hearts? Would they go with the love for Jesus, Lord? Just like you commanded the disciples to go, Lord, those that had been closest to you. God, I pray that you would raise up laborers, set apart those for your name and your work who have been close to you, who have the foundation of their first love, that don't go out into the mission field to just work, but go out to share the same love for Jesus that they have. Lord, that they would evangelize from a place of being so captivated with the heart of God, not from a place of trying to do works, or trying to earn anything, but God, would you raise up missionaries who would be so on fire from Jesus from a place of their first love? God, would you root them and ground them in your love, God? Would you set apart those for you, Lord, to go and to do what they not go, Lord, until they have been fully captivated by you, until they see your worth just as Mary did? God, so in Jesus' name, I just pray that you would raise up laborers who are so on fire for you, who love you, who have the foundation of their first love, God, in Jesus' name. Jesus, have us go to Lord, first love with your heart for these people. Send us, Lord, send us wherever you please, whatever corner of the globe. Have us go to Lord, would you send us, Lord, you have full permission to interrupt our lives, to interrupt our plans for our lives, to give us your plan for our life? Would we not hold fast to our desires? Or would we forsake our desires to follow your will? Oh, for the glory of the Lamb, you may receive the reward for your suffering, the of it, God, you are worthy of us wasting our lives, of us dropping everything and pursuing you. In Matthew 10, we see Jesus send out the 12 disciples. It says he gave them power over unclean spirits, they cast them out. It's to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease. God, I just pray right now that as we go out and as we share your gospel, Lord, that you would give us power over unclean spirits and power to heal the sick, God, we don't want to go if you don't go with us. We don't want to go and just share a story, God, but we want to go and we want to share the gospel, the power of the gospel. Lord, it's your heart to see people delivered, it's your heart to see people healed. So I ask God for the faith that's to know that you're with us, the faith to pray for these things. God, I ask that we would be filled with the boldness and have the courage to pray for these things, to pray for the sick. Lord, it's your heart, it's not ours. It's your heart to heal the sick, it's your heart to cast out those unclean spirits. So God, I ask that as we go that you would walk with us and that we would walk in the full power of the Holy Spirit, in the full might of the Holy Spirit, being filled to the brim with courage and boldness, with no hesitation. God, would you get rid of our pride that would question you? Would you get rid of our fear that would question you? In question, your heart for people, but would we humble ourselves, God, to have the faith to pray for these things, to have the faith to pray for the sick to be healed and to cast out those unclean spirits? God, would you give us courage and boldness in the name of Jesus? Would you give us courage and boldness? We would have us go to, you lead us to, even if it be in the streets here at home, to forsake our lives to follow you. Have the courage to follow you, Lord. Yes, God, would we follow you? Would we follow your leadership, follow your voice, wherever you call us, Lord? I just want to go back into the time of worship. So I just invite you in the room to stand as we go back into a time of worship. This Lord, you are my shepherd, beside your quietest ring. The thinner of you that your strength will be. Lord, you are more than enough. For us, you are a good shepherd. We thank you, God, that you're always with us. And that when our life is through, we will return to you. I want to take the last five minutes or so of this time and just enter into a time of rapid fire prayer where we just released 10 to 15 second prayers. And I want it to be praying this song, praying this reality that Jesus is more than enough over a certain nation that the Lord lays on your heart. So I just invite you to come over here to the side and begin to line up. And just as the Lord leads, just pray for a specific nation, one that the Lord lays on your heart. And we're just going to release 10 to 15 second prayers. Let's go ahead. We can start lining up over here on the side and then we're just going to release little prayers to whatever nation the Lord lays on your heart. So God, I just pray right now. God, I pray for the nation of Iceland, Lord, that you would just turn hearts to you, God, that you would encounter people that they would come to know your love of God, that you would just captivate their hearts with the reality of Jesus. And Lord, I pray that that they would just be rooted and grounded in your love, forsaking all others, but that they would follow you and have a relationship with you, Jesus. I pray that you would captivate their hearts, that you would set their hearts on fire for you, that you would give them revelation of your son and that they would no longer live cold-hearted and distant from you, Lord, but you would set them ablaze to run after you with all of their being and would you unveil their eyes to see you clearly, Jesus? Now, Lord, I pray for the United Kingdom. Lord, I pray that the people of the UK would have a revelation that you are their shepherd and Lord, with the revival of fires that have burned there over the centuries. Lord, I pray that you would rekindle those and turn people back to you in a way of desperation, but God, turn their ear to you supernaturally, let them be able to, as the shepherd, to know that you are the only one and the only thing that can satisfy them. The Israel is reform and protest and the streets are happening, God. We do six and seven, God. We ask that you would touch every Jew this morning, God, or the gospel of Jesus Christ, the messianic believers this morning, God, that they would turn us on this morning. Lord, touch them, please, God. Church, upon this rock that Jesus is a Christ, thank you about the church and the promise of Israel in Argentina. Would you go out? Would you send laborers in the harvest and capture these souls for you, God? May they be brought into the same fold in Israel. No longer do you agree would you capture hearts in Argentina. At stakes of America, break a spirit of confusion and a spirit of division. Lord, I pray that you unite us, unite us, God. Your feet for the beauty, for the church that has started to believe that wealth and prosperity is the same thing as knowing you, Jesus. Hearts would just be enlightened to know who you actually are, God. That the American church would see the beauty of Jesus. Lord, and that the people that have been hurt by the church that wasn't actually living in your name, God, would be restored to knowing your heart, God. Your existence, that which does not exist, would you call in, God? I ask for a movement among the unreached. People, groups in the nation of Ethiopia send for a gospel that would go forth until there are no more unreached in the nation of Ethiopia. Yes, Lord, we just lift high your name over these nations. And we just ask, Lord, that even today that there would be encounters with Jesus for the first time. Lord, the new disciples would be made and we just ask that your spirit, Lord, and your gospel would go forth in these nations until all nations, tribes, and tongues are worshiping you. We just pray these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus. And then, just, we thank you for joining us here for morning prayer. We invite you to come out today at noon in 6.30 this evening, and we'll be back here tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. Thank you.
