Thank you so much I just thank you for your faithfulness that you do not forget your people You don't forget your promises and that you're never late or behind but that you have your perfect timing So thank you Lord for your faithfulness Just in regards to even what we're praying for the dam to break and what it looks like and It's it's interesting. We we pull the analogy of peter You know, I'm gonna make you a fisher of men and the fishing analogy as far as just that fishing is like Fishing for souls, but we missed the parallel of the the picture of what actually happens and in verse 6 Or verse 5 and simon answered master we toiled all night and took nothing That's your word. I let down the nets And when they had done this they enclosed a large number of fish and their nets were breaking They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come help them and they came And filled both the boats and the boats began to sink And just feeling that it's just the the way the lord moves. It's like it's like there's two speeds There's like man the net just feels completely empty and then there's The net is breaking We don't even have enough people in the crew We're getting a second boat and now the boats are sinking because it just we The day lose and that is just a beautiful image of what we're contending for lord We see the first fruits even with salvation and souls And lord we're contending for a moment Where the where there's so many fish that the nets are breaking and the boat is sinking and we're calling Come on help us out and there's almost this idea with revival like god's not going to give us more than we can Can handle he's going to do it in proportion to what we can handle it It's just not how I see god move and work in scripture He's the god of like too much in a breakthrough in the moment And he's like I want you to contend for that To where all of your nets all of your boats and all of your crews are filled Basically taking in this supernatural Fishing of men and so lord we lift our eyes to the sky. We thank you Just for the few hundreds of salvations you've given us lord What an incredible gift and an honor to be a part of that but we just asked for that damn to break Lord we know that those hundreds can turn to thousands in the name Of jesus lord and so we we cast out the net again at your word lord We throw out that net again Nevertheless at your word lord even though we've fished that spot before Even though we've witnessed to that person before lord even though we've believed in faith For that breakthrough before and the net came up empty nevertheless lord at your word We throw the nets again and ask in faith lord for that breakthrough lord We ask for the too much Lord, we ask for the overwhelmed crew and the boats and the nets breaking Because you have sent such a mighty harvest in lord. We say yes to this Send the rain lord. Let the damn break lord. Let there be a delusion a flooding of your spirit in the name of jesus a break the live stream Close this 8 a.m. Prayer meeting I'm we're gonna be back praying in the room all day today and be back on the broadcast tomorrow morning So have a great day. Be blessed
