 Well, good morning. Welcome to A.D.M. Prayer at the Radiant City Center, excited to just dive into what the Lord has for us this morning. We've come to his house of prayer to minister to him and to intercede for his bride for his church. We're going to be leaning into Revelation chapter 2 this morning and just praying for the first love flame to be reignited and God's bride and God's church. But before we do that, we're just going to come with our personal Thanksgiving and our personal offering that we can bring to the Lord. I want to start in Psalm 40 this morning, verse 1 through 3. It says, I waited patiently for the Lord, and he inclined to me and heard my cry. He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the Myrie clay. He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see in fear and will trust in the Lord. Well, this morning, Lord, we come before you. And Lord, even as we start, we just wait patiently for you. We just open our hands. We open our hearts. We tune our ears. We turn down distraction and we turn up the volume of your voice this morning, God. We wait upon you with a thankful heart, with gratitude on our lips, with praises on our mouth. Lord, we just came to bless you. We came to minister to you, not out of our self-justification, our own righteous deeds, but because you are the righteous one. For you were the Lamb who was slain. You were the God who came down and put on flesh. And Lord, no matter what's happening around me, I have a reason to bless you this morning. I've got a reason to praise you this morning. Just like your word says, you pick me up out of the Myrie clay, out of my mess, out of my sin. And Lord, you put a new song in my mouth. So Lord, I pray that you would put a new song in our mouth this morning, a new song of praise and gratitude. Oh Lord, come reveal yourself, that we may see your worth, that we may behold your beauty in your house of prayer, and we may minister to you, our great high priest who lives to make intercession for us, who's seated at the right hand of the Father, who has the name above every name. Oh Lord, we just bless you this morning. We've come to worship you. Oh, how beautiful and wonderful you are. We love you, Lord. We bless you in this morning hour. I always say this morning, the Holy Spirit's lifting high the name of Jesus, glorifying Jesus. I just sense he's glorifying his name over other names. And I just specifically just keep here. His name is higher than disease. His name is higher than disease. I just believe right now, even in our hearts and our minds, he's actually dethroning the place of preeminence from disease, that there's actually been fear, and there's actually been worry, and there's actually been the exaltation of the name of disease and even certain diagnosis. It's become overwhelming. It's become despairing. It's become tormenting. It's almost like a tormenting spirit that feels like it has control over the emotions in the heart. I just feel that the Holy Spirit is exalting the name of Jesus over disease. Oh, we just let the longing on the inside begin to cry out once again, that first love flame, that refascination with the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. That excitement that used to burn so brightly that's grown strangely dim. The coals that are looking cold and about burnt out, we just asked the wind of the Holy Spirit to reignite a deep love on the inside that we would be fascinated with the King of Kings once again. We've caught up in our self-righteousness and our filthy rags of justification and our own strength. God, we trade those in. We say, reignite the first love flame, which put the fire back on the altar, and Lord, in surrender, we just come to you and we just say, we need you. We need the new song in our mouth, God. We need the fresh fire on the inside. We need the first love flame to be reignited again. Lord, we need to be a bride who's awaiting their bridegroom with deep anticipation. Jesus, you said it'll take eternity to know you. Oh, Lord, on this side of eternity, on this side of the veil, Lord, we want to know you here and now. We don't want to be satisfied. We don't want to be content in what we've seen, Lord. We want more of you. We want your name exalted higher. We want to be hungry. We want to hunger and thirst for you at a greater measure, a greater level. Lord, in a dry and weary land where there is no water, may my soul cling to you. May my soul thirst for you. May it long for you, Lord. May the spirit begin to groan on the inside. Lord, we can't live without you. We can't breathe without you. We don't want to carry on without you, Lord. Let the deep call unto deep at the sound of your waterfalls, and may we thirst again for the one source, the pure source that is you, the source of living water. Oh, God, just begin to cry out, even in your own words, whether in your car or in the room or wherever you're at. Oh, God, we just need you. We're desperate. We're poor in spirit. We've got nothing to offer, but a broken vessel, and we just say, God, fill it with your fire. Hey, altar, here's the sacrifice. Here's a lay down. Would you just set it ablaze again? We present ourselves, our bodies, our body, soul, spirit, a living sacrifice for you, for your purposes and your glory. And, Lord, we're asking, we're asking, Lord, that you would reignite the first love flame, that desire, that lovesick desire, the lovesick desire in your brat again, where we want nothing but to be with you, to be with you, to weep between the A and the B, between the porch and the altar, between the errands and the taskless, Lord. We ask that you would just begin to consume us. We pray for a holy unrest on the inside that says, Lord, I must have more of you. I must have all that you can offer me, Lord. I must see more of you, Holy Spirit. We just even ask for that spirit of wisdom and revelation and the knowledge of the Son. And, Lord, I just pray that you would break up the follow ground, break up the deep things on the inside, whether it be generational ties, whether it be apathy, whether it be just even complacency, whether it be habitual sin. God, we just say, shake up the follow ground, shake up the cold-heartedness and may the burning love of your eyes begin to melt away the impurities. And would you purify your bride? Would you, would you clean away every wrinkle, every blemish, God? Lord, the pure hearted shall see God. And we just say, Lord, we want to see you. We want to see you face to face. Make us pure as you are pure. Make us holy as you are holy, God. That is our prayer this morning, Lord. Would your fire come and consume? Consume. Make us pure. Make us holy. Make us one with you in Jesus' name. You know, let's just place our hands on our hearts. Let's prophesy it. Join in with this. Oh, restore the joy. Remind me. Holy Spirit, we just, we make that our primary cry, just like Val's primary language is Spanish, God. We don't come to you with secondary motives, God. We come to you with a primary song. God, we just ask that you would help us, Lord. Lord, you would help us repent. Turn back to the one who longs for us. God, we just repent, placing other priorities above you, Lord. When you placed us at the center of your heart, joy set before you, you didn't have to do it, but you wanted to. Lord, you don't need us, but you want us, God. So we give you a primary offering, a preeminence offering, God. We just ask that you would help us, Lord. Shake up our apathy, God. When we sing, we just want to burn for you, God. Help us to mean it. Shake up the duplicity, shake up the apathy, shake up the complacency, God. Lord, five years ago, when I just wanted to be with you every moment, Lord, when I couldn't get enough of you, God, I pray you just restore the first love again. Lord, when in the wee hours of the night, when I didn't want to sleep because you were with me, God, Lord, just ignite the first love flame in your bride again. God, we don't want to say things and not live it. We don't want to say we're in love, but our heart is far from you, God. Lord, the world deserves a burning bride, consumed in love. We just ask for the radiance of your glory to consume us once again, God. Oh, just even in your own words, you don't even have to say words. Just let the Holy Spirit begin to rest on you. Would you give Him an offering? Would you give Him something that costs you? Lord, here's people's opinions, God. Here's the fear of man. Here's the gaining of status, God. Here's a cookie cutter lifestyle. Here's my comfort, God. Lord, I'm a coin in your pocket. Spend me how you see fit. Oh, we just wait upon the Lord. We ask God that you would deliver the new song of first love, fire, and hearts. We just cry out to you, Lord. Lord, just like you saw the joy as you ascended Calvary's hill, God, we see the joy of dying to self, to pick up Christ. Oh, Holy Spirit, give us grace to crucify our flesh, set our minds on things above, on the spirit of the living God that gives life to our mortal bodies. Lord, we have thought patterns, we have habits, we do things without you. We make decisions without consulting your wisdom and your counsel. We make daily relational transactions without even having a thought of what you want to say. Oh, Lord, we just die to our own steering and our own preeminence and our self lifting and exaltation and, God, we ask that you would lower us and may you be exalted. We get low, low, low before you. We lift you high, high, high high. Because you're worthy, because of the worth you're due. Lord, we just ask for a gripping in your bride, a gripping in your church, in the American church, God. Would you grip us for what grips you? We give you permission, we open up our hearts to you, God. We just say, put your finger on what you want to, God. Point out what you need to. And we won't, we won't resist it, God. We won't resist it. We give you preeminence. We repent our way back to right standing with you, God. We come back, we turn back. Keep us close to you, Lord. Keep us close to your heart. Keep us rooted and grounded in your love, your steadfast love. And Lord, we submit to your Lordship, we submit to your leadership. Not my will, but yours be done, Lord. May it not just be a fictitious prayer we'd like to be a reality someday, but may it be burning inside right here and now, Lord. Consume us on the inside, God. Light the fire on the inside, cleanse us from the inside out. Home is where you are, Lord. Just as we close, I just felt like there was so much power when Val was singing in our native language. And I just want to have her go back into singing that I just want to burn for you in Spanish. And I just feel like the Holy Spirit's going to deposit like a longing preeminence, long after we leave this meeting. And I just even prophesy that this prayer meeting will be a time capsule. And Lord, we just ask that you would just even mark us, change us, God. And Lord, when we stray, would you lasso us back by a conviction of the Holy Spirit? And what I want you to do is Val's going to sing in her tongue and we're going sing in your tongue. If that's English, it's English or wherever your native tongue is. And in the natural, we're singing with our first language, but in the spirit, we're singing with preeminence. No strings attached, Lord. Let's just begin to cry out to the Lord, ask for his fire to fill us. So we just ask that you would fill our hearts with your fire. That burning love, that, that zealous love. Lord, we just ask that you would take us from glory to glory and you would build us up precept upon precept. And we behold you in King Jesus as in a mirror. And would you transform us into the same image as Christ? And Lord, we just confess we've looked away, but Lord, we're coming back and we're fixing our eyes on your eyes, Lord. And would you translate the fire in your eyes into our hearts? We love you, Lord. We bless you. We thank you. Come on, can we just thank him? Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Thank you that you came this morning. Thank you that you ministered to us this morning. Thank you, Lord, that we get to relate to you, that we get to walk through the veil, that you tore in two and we get to dwell in your most holy place. Thank you that we have access 24 seven, 365 days a year, every moment, every minute, every second. We love you, Lord. We bless you in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Just thank you for joining us this morning, morning prayer. Just have a blessed day and we will see you at noon in 630.
