 Good morning. Welcome to the Radiant City Center prayer room. It's officially summer. Excited for these long summer days. Time with family and excited to be here this morning with you to pray. I want to open in Psalm 29 if you have your Bibles. Kind of reading from two translations this morning. One from the ESV. It says, Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings. Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. Ascribe to the Lord the glory to His name. Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness. New King James it says worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. This morning that we would be fascinated not just in our natural eyes but in the eyes of our heart to look upon the Lord and to see Him for all of His beauty that we would be locked in and attuned and be fully present in this time to bring worship to the Lord. Can we just even close our eyes and and ask the Lord just to even give glimpses even as Isaiah was given a glimpse into the throne room of God and he just saw the train of his robe and he was undone. God we ask Lord today that we would see even just a glimpse of the beauty of your holiness. Let our the eyes of our heart and Ephesians 1 that our eyes would be enlightened to the glorious riches and power that is upon you Jesus that we look at you right now that we would be fascinated undone and fascinated locked in let all the other things fall away and we say there's one thing that we're after today and it's you Jesus and we say it's your holiness and your beauty the beauty just that phrase the beauty of your holiness we lock in we say how wonderful how beautiful how glorious is your holiness you are perfect perfect and we ask Lord that we would be fascinated today undone in the eyes of our hearts of your holiness and the Bible's with you let's open the Psalm 29 we're singing we say Lord surrendered Jesus that you stretched out your own emptied yourself taking the form of the servant and you were the first to go to the lowest place obedience to the father you surrendered Jesus we say today that we would have that spirit among us we ask Lord for that grace upon us to go to low places God we ask Lord for the Isaiah 66 reality of a humble and contrite spirit because you went low highest of places seated at the right hand of the father and so we exalted it is here present given in the holy scripture and it says the voice of the Lord is over the waters here in michigan we have many lakes and when you speak it actually carries over the waters and it's saying that the voice of the Lord reaches and goes to far places in the places it does not seem that it would reach we know that your voice or there's nothing that can stop the voice of the Lord and we honor say that your personally your voice matters to me your voice matters to the body of Christ your church and your voice God we say that it carries strength it carries power and it carries love and we ask Lord that your voice would reach ears God not the itching ears that are looking to hear what it wants to hear we ask Lord that our ears would be surrendered to the voice of the Lord today it carries

waters came and you spoke to the disciples and we say would you walk across the waters would your voice carry over the waters would there be a high we say Lord speak and would your servants be listening let our ears be opened and at tunes we give permission to say we want to receive every word that you have to say in this hour there's a high urgency in this day to know the want to hear what you have to say that the mystery of your will would be revealed Ephesians 1 we want to know you we want to know in the name of Jesus God we ask Lord even in this summer season we're in the nighttime there can be rolling thunderstorms and that you would be waking up your church in this dark hour with your voice of thunder God would you wake us up and would we see the light of the world which is Jesus God that you're breaking forth and you're bringing glory do your name and I pray that the voice of the Lord which thunders would it break in and would it break forth in power and in my it is full it's not weak it is full of power it's full of majesty and we ask Lord that your voice with thunder in this day Lord let it break forth God break through break through them the chaos of our day break through the many voices we ask Lord that there would be one voice above them all it's the name and it's the voice of Jesus breaking forth in a dying broken world let the light of Jesus and let the thunder of your voice wake up your church in this hour we pray speaking and let the violent is thunder to wake up the lost the deconstructed the prodigals we say Lord that you would call forth your sons and daughters who may have left the house to find their own way we ask Lord call them back through your voice that you would wake them up God in their sleeping and in their slumber God would you wake up those that have drifted it God we ask Lord that they would be anchored and rooted and grounded in the love of God and we know it is by your voice it's by your voice that draws many unto yourself and we say you will not be silenced you will use any means possible to speak you will use thunder and you will wake us up and God we ask Lord do it we say do it God let your voice break in

pray God that you would speak love truth through might and through power let your voice not be silenced and let it be heard over the waters in the night sky we ask Lord that your voice would be heard in our day we speak over our city Kalamazoo let the voice of the Lord be over our city let it come in power let it come in might let it come in victory we say it in Jesus name let your voice come let it come in might and power strength in Jesus name biblical history that a time when Elijah was battling bail and the God there was a time where you sent forth you sent forth flashes of fire down from heaven to be a sign and a wonder of your great power and we ask Lord in this day where there's many carved images and idols and idolatry in our day in our American western culture we ask Lord that the flashes of heaven of the voice of the Lord God would break down everything that's exalted itself over you we ask Lord that you would be exalted to the highest place over every other carved image and over every heart that wants to be in a form in a posture of idolatry ask Lord that you would break in and God that you would burn it all up and we ask Lord that the fine as it did in Elijah's day God let it come forth in the name of Jesus let it be flashes of fire God that you would burn up the idolatry in our day and that we would see the glory of the Lord and the exaltation of Jesus Christ that you would be set in a story let it be as we go back into a time of worship God we want to be a magnification of Jesus we're going to pick up in Psalms 29 voice the Lord shakes the wilderness the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh in Jesus and in John the Baptist that in the season of the wilderness the voice of the Lord speaking and leading holy spirit is with Jesus is it being tempted in the wilderness and John the Baptist who's out in the wilderness clothed in odd clothing and eating odd things but he has an understanding of who Jesus is and when he crosses his path he has an understanding he says behold that is the Lamb of God and we know in the wilderness there's an opportunity to let all the things fade away and to center on the voice of the Lord so we say in our seasons of wilderness God even led by the Holy Spirit that he would take us in to wilderness seasons so that he might speak to us God I pray that there would not be resistance in our heart to seasons of wilderness that we would be like John the Baptist that he would speak and give understanding of revelation so that when the voice of the Lord breaks through we can say behold and we can talk to many people behold the Lamb of God and we see the pattern in Jesus that he is filled with the revelation of the scriptures that he can come against every temptation of the evil ones we say in seasons and in times of wilderness God would you down look God that we would not be resistant to your voice season to hear what you have to say God we want to have the ears of some revelation and understanding that we might grow in the knowledge of the Lord God speak to us times of wilderness in the name of then suddenly by the voice and the power of your voice things now be waiting and God what was believing what was faith now becomes sight and we ask Lord that by the voice and by the leadership and by the timing of God we last Lord that your voice when many here are waiting on your voice to speak and to go forth and make things that were not yet seen seen we ask Lord that there will be faith in our hearts that once was a pregnancy season it's now a labor season and we ask Lord take the things that are being believed for in many lives heart where we're waiting on the voice of the Lord that your voice what we're waiting on is your voice and your leadership God would it be would it come forth right now in the name of Jesus would a season of waiting be over and when the timeliness we are believing that the voice of the Lord is now and it's for us and I pray those that are waiting would receive that prophetic exhorting encouraging in this season we ask Lord let once was a waiting season be the now word let it come forth prophetic utterances exhortation words from heaven God let it come we ask Lord in Jesus name to the voice of the Lord but statement it says in his temple all created us in his image with the voice and the response is glory the response is yes and amen to the voice of the Lord and I just want to stir up our faith it's our response his voice being received yes and amen and the response is glory so we say in the temple of the Lord and with our voices we just say glory to the Lord high and lifted up glory to you we don't withhold our voice we offer it freely in voluntary response to you God we receive and we say yes and amen and thank to his people may the Lord bless his people with peace and pray for you that you would hear the voice of the Lord
