 Good morning, welcome to Morning Prayer from the Radiant City Center. We are gonna be praying for revival this morning as we do most Tuesday mornings. We'll probably take some time as well and pray for the city of Nashville, those affected by the shooting of the Christian school and be praying into that as well, even as we're contending for revival, asking the Lord to heal our land. It was interesting, Dr. Michael Brown, he kind of affirmed what a lot of us were already feeling that there's gonna be a new Jesus revolution and it's gonna be a lot of those who are currently in the LGBTQ movement that are gonna be coming in and so just a demonic strategy to just to sow discord and hate between the church and those who are currently entrapped in that agenda. So I wanna pray into that. I wanna speak in Isaiah 66, verse one and two, talking about the resting place of God and the hearts in which he's looking forward. Isaiah 66, verse one says, The Lord heaven is my throne and earth is my footstool. Where is the house you would build for me and what is the place of my rest? All of these things my hands have made and so all these things came to be declares the Lord. But this is the one whom I will look. He who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word. Lord, we come before you this morning and we say, Lord, this is the corporate altar we want to build, the house for you, the place of your rest. That's who we're looking to be corporately and then as individuals, we are looking to be those who are humble and contrite in spirit and we tremble at your word. Lord, we don't wanna be prideful and arrogant and Lord, we come before you this morning and we just ask that you would give us a fresh tremble at your word. Lord, fear of the Lord at your word, Lord, where we have maybe taken a casual perspective of your word and scriptures and have lost some of the trembling at your word, Lord. We just ask that we would tremble at your word and that we would be humble and contrite in heart, Lord, as we pray your scriptures, Lord. We just ask that your word would be living and active and sharper than a two-edged sword. Lord, we don't wanna pray our words but we want to tremble at your word. Lord, we don't wanna conjure up our own prayers, Lord. We wanna pray the prayers of the scriptures, Lord, and add our own language to your word, Lord. We don't wanna be above your scriptures and your word and so even as we enter into worship this morning, Lord, we just ask, would you cause us to tremble at your word? Would you, like Dr. Michael Brown shared this weekend, Lord, that we would love your law, we would meditate on it, we would murmur it, we would mutter it day and night that your praise and your word would ever be on our lips or that we would speak your name and we would speak your word and our heart would respond and tremble. Lord, we just thank you for your word. We love your word, we love your instructions, we love your law, Lord, we love your teaching, we love the words of this book and so, God, we come with a humble and contrite spirit and heart. We tremble at your word this morning. You are worship, pour it out of your feet to the foot of the cross. Everything, Lord, finances everything, everything for Jesus, everything for the Lamb's reward, everything's for the Lamb's reward. Jesus, we see you spilling the, breaking the bread of your body and spilling the wine of your blood or when we just have that cry like the Moravians for the Lamb's reward or that you would receive the reward of the suffering, we can never bring you something of greater measure than what you gave, but we can in the same spirit like Mary, wherever the gospel is preached, a memorial is built to how we respond to you with wholeheartedness and adoration and love and worship, everything is for you, Jesus. Everything is for you, Jesus. I wanna lead us in an intercession out of Acts two if you have your Bibles, as we take our stand on the wall in an intercession and prayer and I just have that picture before us as we take our stand of what Pastor Lee shared on Sunday night of the windshield spatter that's hit that shows us that there's a greater rain coming. Put that picture before us and what Dr. Michael Brown said is a great word. It's like the prayer that got you to revival, actually into revival is the prayer that you need to keep contending and praying in those seasons and so we're gonna pray out of Acts two just asking the Lord would continue to pour out his spirit and the church in America. Acts two, one, when the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place and suddenly there came and suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind and it filled the entire house where they were sitting and divided tongues of fire appeared and rested on each one of them and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and they began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. Now they were dwelling in Jerusalem, Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven and at the sound of the multitude that came together and they were bewildered because each one was hearing them speak in their own language and they were amazed and astonished saying, are these not those? Are not those speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear each of our own native language? Lord, I ask for a fresh baptism and outpouring of your Holy Spirit, Lord, that you would give us the language and articulation so that every single person far from you would hear their native language. They would hear their native cry, oh Lord, in a time right now where there just seems to be a greater divide between the church and the world, between the ideologies and it even seems harder to understand what is the language of the people? What is the language of their heart? What are they even yearning for? What are they longing to hear? Holy Spirit, you know how to come with one tongue and speak the language that cuts to every person's heart? That's what happens when there's a fresh baptism of your Holy Spirit. So God, we ask for your church for a fresh baptism of your Holy Spirit. Lord, that each person, Lord in the LGBTQ community would hear their native tongue. Lord, those in sexual immorality and brokenness, depression and despair and in sin. Lord, the Holy Spirit would fall on the church and you would give us the articulation to pray and to speak out a language that would draw all men to yourself. Lord, I ask for your church to rise up in boldness in this hour. Lord, we lift before you the church in Nashville. Lord, this church that is grieving is feeling the fear and the pain of the moment of being assaulted, Lord, of not a person we war not with flesh and blood, but principalities and powers of dark agendas, Lord, that are warring against the church, violent agendas, hateful agendas in God. We ask for the peace of God to guard their mind and hearts right now in Nashville. Lord, I ask even for this school, Lord, those who lead and parents and the kids that survive, Lord, that you would come around them and put your arms around them and Lord, help them heal. Lord, help them to love like Jesus and be like Jesus and God in this hour, Lord. I ask for that, the church in Nashville, Lord, that you would anoint them with power, Lord, that they would be able to be a representation of you, that your spirit would come upon them. Lord, what the enemy meant for evil to divide, Lord, that you would use for good. What the enemy meant to bring division and hate, you would bring healing and love. In the name of Jesus, Lord, as the eyes of the US, our turn to Nashville this morning, Lord, that they would see a church that's baptized with the Holy Spirit, with power from on high, with love in their hearts and a tongue in their mouth, Lord, that they would be able to deliver that those who were far from you would hear their native language. So, God, I just ask for the church in Nashville this morning, Lord, I ask that you would fill them with your Holy Spirit and bold this name of Jesus. So, Michael Brown said Sunday night about, you know, in the Jesus Revolution, you had the hippies that were flooding into the church as they were the ones who were broken in need of the cross and the gospel. In this next Jesus Revolution, it's going to be the LGBTQ community. And I just remember sitting in the theater watching Jesus Revolution and just watching that and just picturing that in my mind of these ones that are coming in, broken and hurting and being met with the love of Jesus in a transformative way where they encounter the Lord in such a profound and beautiful way. And I just wanna continue praying for the church for this, that the Lord would give us this language from heaven to speak a native tongue, Lord, that would draw the lost in. And so, Lord, we ask, Lord, even today, Lord, as the church mourns and maybe even feels fear and some of those things related to this latest shooting, God, I just asked that you would give us a prophetic vision or just like the 60s and 70s, Lord, when it felt like this hippie movement was so out of control and there's no way that the Lord could steer this back and then out of nowhere that Jesus Revolution hits and all of a sudden you're drawing hippies from the north to the south to the east and the west. They're getting baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit and encountered. God, I asked for your church this morning to get a vision and we repent where we have hated people and not the agenda, Lord, where we have been filled with fear and hatred for the individuals who are swept up, Lord, in this wicked and perverse ideology and not been angry at the enemy that has blinded their eyes, the God of this age that has blinded their eyes. Lord, just open up our hearts as the church to have compassion to those who are in the LGBTQ community. Lord, I asked that we would prepare the way. God, we say we will take in those who are hurting. We will take in those who are gender confused. We will take those in who are sexually broken, Lord, and living in sexual immorality, but are broken and in need of a savior, Lord. We will open the doors, Lord. We saw you do it time and time again when you walked the earth. Lord, you gave dignity and value and worth to the woman caught in adultery and then you had the authority and power to say go and sin no more and bring transformation and holiness. Lord, compassion and power and love all in one. God, I just asked for an anointing on your church, Lord, as we contend for revival, Lord, that you would open a wide and affectionate door for the gospel, Lord, in the LGBTQ community. Lord, that you would break down the walls of division and hatred and fear and, Lord, you would draw those who are confused and broken to you not to be affirmed in their sin, but to be affirmed as sons and daughters of the Most High God and called forth in repentance and humility and love and transformation. So, Lord, I just ask right now for an anointing on the church, you would baptize us again in your Holy Spirit, Lord, that we would reach the broken and the LGBTQ in the name of Jesus. Great voice as one. Okay. We just say we need a heart trend. You said, if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, seek my face and pray. And so, Lord, we just say we want to want that. We need you to grace us in this hour, God. We need you to break in as usual. We need you to break in hearts, our self-protection force fields, our judgmental mindsets, and we just say, I'll break in, you Jesus, that our hearts would melt, Lord, under the fire of your jealous loving gaze, that we would be tenderized in your spirit, Lord, that the doors of our hard God to receive those that you would call your inheritance, that you would call your own possession, and let it be asking that you would raise up the altar, Lord. You said a praying people, Lord, will lead to the healing. Asking God, give us grace to pray. Give us grace to receive your heart. Give us grace in this hour, Lord. We're asking you, Jesus, to move in your church. Grace, Jesus, to seek your face in this hour. Give us grace to turn from our own agendas, our own presumptions, our own opinions, our own frames, God, of people groups. We're asking, Lord, for eyes like the dove to be imparted to your bride in this hour, that we would see you, that we would see your heart, God, that we would lay down our own hearts and embrace yours, God, for a lost and dying world, for those who are different than we are, for those who are still held prisoner, God, we ask you, Jesus, to give us grace to pray, to give us grace to turn in this hour, to seek your face, to seek your heart, to cry out, Jesus, the great intercessor. We just say, Holy Spirit, we need you. We need you to set this principle in motion in our own personal life. Give us grace to seek your face. Give us grace to go low and say, we don't have the answers. You do so, esteems your people, that you want our partnership, even us, that you want our voice of agreement, that you want your tears to roll down our cheeks, God, in the place of travail. Thank you. Who is like you, that you want us in, looking for your inheritance among the nations, that you want the names of nations on our lips, God? And so, Lord, I just ask that you would, according to the zeal in your heart, that you would make us a house of prayer for all nations. In this critical hour, God, in this sobering hour of redemptive history, I pray that you would do what only you can do, that you would release grace upon your people across the generations and congregations and ethnicities, all walks of life, God, that we would find a new grace to seek your face, to run to the altars of our own heart and our own home and the corporate altars in our city, God, that we would be found tarrying with you, to receive your heart, to receive your burdens, to agree with you in that place of privileged partnership in this hour. We thank you for it, Lord. And God, we do ask that you would just pour out a spirit of peace and mercy and healing and grace upon Nashville, God, upon Covenant School, upon every child, every parent, every law enforcement worker, God. You would do what only you can do, God, bring healing, healing to hearts, healing to minds, healing to bodies on the molecular level, God. We just say walk in as Prince of Peace, bring your peace, bring your comfort, bring your hope. We bless God at the healing work of Holy Spirit in Nashville. We entrust them into your hands. We thank you for all that's transpired this hour and we ask that it would be multiplied many times over in this place, in this city and across America and the nations of the earth, that you would find a people worshiping you and agreeing with your heart day and night in Jesus' name. Amen, amen. Well, thanks for joining us this morning. We're back here this afternoon at noon and 6.30 tonight. God bless you.
