The Lord is the defense of my life whom shall I dread? When evil doers came upon me to devour my flesh my adversaries and my enemies they stumbled and fell and Though a host and camp against me my heart will not fear and though war Arise against me in spite of this I shall be confident One thing I have asked from the Lord that I shall seek That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life to behold the beauty of the Lord and to Meditate in his temple for in the day of trouble He will conceal me in his tabernacle and the secret place of his tent. He will hide me He will lift me up on a rock and now my head will be lifted up Above my enemies around me and I will offer in his tent Sacrifices with shouts of joy and I will sing. Yes, I will sing praises to the Lord Well, Lord, we come to your house this morning and we're just we're not oblivious to what's happening What's around us and the present darkness, but Lord we just say you are our light You are our salvation. You are our defense. You are our safe place And we come into your house this morning your house of prayer and we just say that we will sing Yes, we will sing praises to the Lord And this morning we just command our soul to wake up and to praise The Lord for he is worthy and he is worthy of all praise all blessing and all honor If you would this morning wherever you're at whether you're in your home in your car in the room Let's just begin to lift up a song Song of Thanksgiving a song of praise Yes, Lord, you are worthy of our praise this morning.

So it is necessary That is this high priest also have something to offer verse 6 it says but now he has obtained a more excellent ministry by as much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant which has been enacted on better promises We have been grafted into a better covenant by the blood of Jesus and we just say thank you Lord Jesus you are our great high priest who lives to make intercession and Lord as we worship you this morning We ask that you take us up into your heart God would you give us a piece of your heart this morning? Would you display to us what you're praying what the longing of your heart is and Lord as we lean in to Interceding for Israel God we ask that we wouldn't pray from from our logical minds or something We could conjure up but Lord would you pour your heart into our heart that we may pray with a burden that you have God we just ask right now Holy Spirit. Would you give us a heart? Would you give us a burden to intercede into pray for the people of Israel? We ask not a not a heart of a flesh or man's agenda But God give us a heart of your purposes give us a heavenly mindset Heavenly eyes to see and to hear what you're saying and what you're praying and what you're longing to do During this time, we're gonna just intercede Just for the church to pick up the mantle of prayer for intercession for Israel So in first Chronicles 17, it'll be on the screen here in verse 20. I want to read this This is David's response to God after God makes a covenant with David after bringing the ark back to Jerusalem And this is David's response verse 20. Oh Lord, there is none like you nor is there any God beside you according to all that we have heard with our ears in what one nation in the earth is like your people Israel Whom God went to redeem for himself as a people to make you and named by great and terrible things and driving out Nations from before your people whom you redeemed out of Egypt for your people Israel you made your own people forever and You oh Lord became their God if you just place your hand on your heart with me We're just gonna ask that the Lord would make this real in our hearts as we begin to pray and intercede For the nation of Israel God we ask Lord that we would be Ones that would dive into your heart. You said that Israel is your people who you made a covenant with forever Forever Lord we magnify you we say there is no one like you and Lord you came and you made covenant with your people Israel God and you are not you are not lolling in your promises, but you are faithful to keep your Promises so God right now we come before you Lord in our western context Lord in our In our context we are far from the Middle East. We are far from what's happening But God we just say break our hearts for what breaks yours God We just ask Lord would you just even come and minister to areas of offense? We may have we just pray that prayer of David search my heart. Oh God know me test me and try my anxious thoughts God, I don't want to be ignorant and what you're doing God.

We ask that we would have your heart and prayer We would have your heart and intercession We just make it personal this morning that we need your heart. We need your heart Lord Lord, we sometimes we don't even know what we should pray But in Romans 8 it says the Holy Spirit is interceding with groanings too deep for words So Holy Spirit, we just give you permission this morning to release a groan to release a quake in our hearts to pray What you're praying we just ask for the burden of the Lord a burden of the Lord on this subject Lord, we don't need just information.

We just bless you in Jesus name Jesus name just gonna go into a time of worship again and just reset our hearts on the beauty of the cross So i'm just reminding me of this scripture in verse three. It says do nothing From selfishness or antiquancy but with humility as more important than yourselves Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others Have this attitude in yourself, which was also in christ jesus Who although he existed in the form of God Did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped but he emptied himself Taking the form of a bondservant and being made in the likeness of men Being found in appearance as a man. He humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death even death on a cross For this reason also got highly exalted him Bestowed on him the name which is above every name So that at the name of jesus every name will bow Of those who are in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and that every tongue Will confess that jesus christ his lord To the glory of god lord. We just ask you in clothes. Jesus says you You placed our well-being eternal punishment upon your body The sin we couldn't pay for You are You are longing for people to come into your fold And now god everything that's happening in isreal every All the turmoil all the all the hate all the demonic activity Lord, we just come low before your throne and lord.
