 Hey, good morning. Welcome to the Radiant City Center. Good to see all of you in the room and for those of you joining, High Pastor Tim. Let's all wave to Pastor Tim over there. He's amazing and on this Sikh season for us as Radiant Church to come after the Lord and excited to just even drive in today in the snow to come and seek the Lord. In Psalm 61 I want to read this together. If you're even at your house, I'd love for you to read this with me. It says, hear my cry, oh God, listen to my prayer. From the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy. Let me dwell in your tent forever. Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings. For you, oh God, I've heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name. We're going to do something unique today. We're just going to read this passage out loud together. Psalm 61 verse 1, I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy. Let me dwell in your tent forever. Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings. For you, oh God, I've heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name. Can we just lift up our hands this morning and we're coming after the Lord and we say, hear our cry, oh God, hear our cry from here in downtown Kalamazoo, from cars all over the city, from living rooms, that today we are declaring the goodness of our God. Would you listen to the prayers of your people? That there is a desperate cry in our hearts for more of Jesus in our midst. From the end of the earth, we call to you even if your heart is faint today, even if your body is weak today, even in the midst of starving the flesh and fasting, we come to feast on Jesus today. And would you lead us to the rock that is higher than I? God, we say that you are our rock. You are our refuge. You are our strong tower against the enemy where you have experienced resistance from the enemy. We resist the devil. Right now we just resist the devil. We rebuke any spirit, any condemnation, any shame. And we say that the spirit of life and truth breathe life into you in the name of Jesus, that we would dwell in your presence and in your tent under the refuge of your shelter and your wings. God, we want to fear you above all of us. God, we don't want to fear man. We don't want to fear a brother or a sister, a leader. We fear the Lord. So today this is our declaration. Hear us. God, hear us from heaven today. We cry out. We love you and we bless you. And we know that you will respond to the prayers of your people. God, we love you. That's our confession today. We love you, God, and we bless you in the name of Jesus. From the pit, new song, my joy. I try to hide away in shame. He comes seeking, searching like a man on a mission, like a lion. Oh, God, it just keeps chasing me down. He outchees us this morning after a month, this morning checking account. He's still good at risk of letting the Lord darkest places of our life. And I just sent the Lord wants to come and minister to your heart. Wherever your love tank may feel empty, the Lord would say to you, you are my beloved, you are my chosen. You are my greatest desire is to come near to you. And I sense the Lord wants to wrap you in his arms and to share your way in which he loves you and to be enriched and filled by the love of God. It's only by his presence. It's only by his voice. You can't capacity to love. You have found me. God, know me to pour out just a fresh rain and fresh oil and fresh revelation of the love of God, you to even give permission to the Lord. God, I give you permission to show your love to me. I don't resist it anymore than he is right now. Just confess hiding, running, just say those are rushing in and strengthening you by his love, by his voice, by his presence, by his kindness, by his mercy. Don't resist it. We let the floodgates open, let the love come on in, let the love flow on into our heart. You don't want to live on the little bit left in our fuel tank. God, we want to live on the abundance of your love. We don't have to live in a poverty mentality on the very scraping by and by the crumbs. God, we say that we want to live in an abundance. So, God, let us step in to that over of the love of your love. So, show us your love. That's the love of God. We want to know it. We want to experience it. God, so pour it out, God. Poem, it's really one of the very first is something the Lord actually crafted in his own heart and gave to us and we're going to read it. We're going to pray through it. I'm going to invite you to actually come up and participate up here. We're going to just take some phrases, pray it back to the Lord and ask him to do it on our behalf. So, Aaron's blessing, verse 24 of number six. The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. I just want to invite five people for each one of these verses to come up. You can line up as the Lord begins to just download or burden you with a prayer. We're just going to focus on the blessing of the Lord. We're going to focus on the face of Jesus and the graciousness of him. And we're going to focus on peace and his countenance turning towards us. So, on this first passage in verse 24, the Lord bless you and keep you. God, we thank you for the blessings of the Lord today. Being reminded of the blessings of the Lord and we're not looking to just the natural or the tangible. We're looking to the reality that you have saved us. And as we were singing earlier, we each have a testimony and you have poured out blessing upon us and we want to be renewed and refreshed in the blessing of the Lord today. Jesus, we know that you give good gifts to your children and Matthew seven, that you love us. In Ezekiel 34, it says, he keeps watch over you that you are in the fold of the Lord and in Exodus, he reveals who he is, his goodness. So God, we want to be refreshed in the blessing of the Lord today. We're going to pray as a few of these people lead us. Yes, God, I just asked Lord, I was just reading again, the Lord blesses you and keep you, the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you. I just pray over this room that the Lord's face will just shine upon this room that his favorite would be here today that he sees you and he knows you. He knows your circumstance and he knows your situation. And Jesus, I asked that you would come into this room would you meet every single one of us right where we are at Lord? And I asked for families and homes today. I bet you would meet every single family and every single home where they are at in this season. I bet you would bring your precious and mighty hand and Lord, would you bring provision in Jesus name? Yes, may the Lord bless you and keep you, the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you. Lord, would you help us Holy Spirit? Would you help us receive this truth in our life? God, if we've grown discouraged to believing that you aren't a God who gives good gifts that we would just receive this truth about you. You are a God who gives good gifts. Lord, we ask that we would see this glorious shining face, that we would be encountered, Lord, that the light of your glory would shine into our hearts and expose all shadow, expose every darkness God that takes us away from you, that turns us from you. Lord, may the fire in your eyes draw us back to you that we would see you rightly. He who gives good gifts, he who gives good gifts that the word of our tongue would be my father is a God who gives good gifts. The Lord bless you and keep you. God, I ask that you would keep your people in this hour. I ask that you would hem us in before and behind. I ask that you would be a shield about us. Would you preserve your people, preserve families in this city and in this church? I plead the blood of Jesus over your people in this city and over families specifically. Would you protect us? Would you preserve us? Would we feel the loving arms of the Father hemming us in and keeping us near to his heart in Jesus' name? Lord, turn his face towards you and give you peace. Father, I pray for our families and our friends and those who have felt like your face has been turned away. And I pray that right now in this moment that they would just feel your eyes on them, the kindness of your eyes and the gentleness and the love in your heart, God. I pray for those who have felt far off and distant who have felt like you've looked at them in anger or disappointment, God, that you would shift our perspectives of you, God, that you would shift our families' perspectives of you, God, that people would be able to see that your face is turned towards us with love and with peace, God. And I pray that you would fill our families with peace, that any attack of the enemy will not survive the Prince of Peace, that the Prince of Peace would rule and reign in our homes today, Jesus. Would the Prince of Peace come and dispel all darkness, Lord? Would your peace rule and reign in our homes? Jesus' name. Gracious to you. Lord, I just agree with the prayers prayed and I ask that you would shine your beautiful face upon your people across this city, God, across radiant church, across our homes, Lord. We're asking for the revelation of the beauty of the Lord to break in, to drive out the shadows of shame and condemnation and fear and anxiety and depression. We just say, Lord, let us see and feel the smile of heaven today that we would stay unsure and confident in the love of God in Jesus' name. Resist the enemy in the name of Jesus. And we ask, Lord, that light would shine in our hearts, in our minds, God, over our families, over marriages, over relationships, God, where there is even enmity between relationships, God, we ask, Lord, for a spirit of life and reconciliation, we ask, Lord, for a spirit of repentance, God, that the light of Jesus would break in, that the beauty of Jesus would be our guiding nor start, that we would have our eyes on you and not ourselves and not one another. We want one heart, one pursuit, one thing that we're after. It's Jesus and you alone, God. We ask, Lord, that there would be no other distractions, no other pressures that cause us to not seek and God, let the light into our lives, let it into the lamp of our eyes and our body. God, we need a greater revelation of this in our lives, in our midst, in our services, in our gatherings. God, the light of Jesus, the power of your presence and the revelation of your son being revealed in the name of Jesus, pour out light. God, reveal your beauty in the name of Jesus. We pray and we ask in Jesus' name and so keep it. I just had the sense from the Lord in Luke 17 where Jesus comes and heals 10 lepers, but only one responds in thankfulness to the Lord because we're not here just asking the Lord for natural blessing. It's the supernatural blessing of God, the protection of His hands. He has healed us, He has saved us, He has redeemed us and He is continually sanctifying us, amen. So just in a, for a minute, I just wanna bless the Lord. He has blessed us, He has enriched us, but to pour out blessing upon Him, to be one of the lepers, to be the one, to respond in that heart, in that heart response to come and throw Himself down in Jesus' feet and say, thank you for the blessing of Jesus. Can we, just for a moment, we're gonna swell here, we're gonna lift up our voices to the Lord and I just wanna bless the Lord, not to hold back, not to resist, the front is open for you. If you wanna dance, wave a flag, cause it's responding to the goodness of our God. It's the goodness of our God in this day. We've just, you are holy and good and perfect. To those that joined us and we're gonna continue morning, noon and night throughout, seek, may the Lord bless you and keep you. Have a great day.
