 good morning radiant family would you stand with me those who are in the room and those who are joining on our live stream when I welcome you to Friday morning prayer and man praise God we have been in the middle of an incredible outpouring of the Holy Spirit that has led many to salvation and each weekend at our locations as we give an altar call and share the the message of the gospel of peace many have responded and it's over a couple of hundred and now we're just giving a moment this morning to say thank you to God we come before him with Thanksgiving that even as he touches the earth that even as he pours out his spirit one of the activities of the Holy Spirit is to convict the world of sin and we see him doing that right now we see him drawing people in some don't even know why they're here some some haven't even been invited by another friend have just come drawn by the Lord drawn by the Lord in their heart to find God and this is the work of the Holy Spirit as he seeks to save that which is lost in our communities and ultimately in your community and your neighborhood and your city and all around the world and so what we see him doing right now is bringing people in and then piercing their heart with the gospel and then pouring out repentance and giving them the gift of repentance and and through tears and through repentance on their part finding Jesus Christ many for the first time and that's happening right now in the last couple of weeks we've just seen an uptick in this activity and so I want this morning for us to just give thanks to God and Psalm 92 verse 1 it says it is good to give thanks to the Lord to sing praises to your name almost high to declare your steadfast love in the morning and your faithfulness by night so would you join me and God we just thank you for your faithfulness God we thank you that as you are pouring out your spirit we are seeing genuine repentance at the throne at your altar God we're seeing genuine repentance Lord we're seeing those who have been far from you those who have not ever known you find you in this hour and we say God thank you Lord before we ask you for more Lord before we intercede for the things that are on your heart Lord we want to say thank you thank you for your loving kindness thank you for your faithfulness those that are repenting now there's somebody's son or daughter there's somebody's mom or dad there's somebody's grandparent a grandchild and God we just say thank you we say thank you for answering prayers prayers that have gone up perhaps for years and Lord in a moment of outpouring you're answering prayers as prodigals are coming home Lord we thank you that we're seeing prodigals come home to the house of God that they grew up in you know we know that more is coming but we say thank you God thank you for those that have returned home thank you for the souls that have found you for the first time God only you can do this work this is your work God this is your work God we can share the gospel we can invite we can preach but Lord only you can regenerate only you can change a heart and a lifestyle so God we say thank you thank you for doing what none of us could do thank you for choosing to pour out your spirit and to draw the lost into you to draw the prodigal back home Lord thank you that you are opening ears to hear your voice thank you the hearts that have been hardened are being softened in your presence God this is your work and we say thank you let's each of us just with our own voice begin to thank him again over these last few weeks
