 Good morning. Welcome to our morning prayer as we're in a holy week season and excited to be with you, those that are in the room, those that are watching and excited for our time this morning to seek the Lord in one heart and one mind. And we're gonna open up the scriptures this morning in Ephesians 5. It says to be filled with the Spirit, verse 19, addressing one another in Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ on this day and this morning. Whether you're in a living room alone or a car alone or in this room, just to stir up the environment that you're in to fill it up and singing and melody in Thanksgiving that we're coming before Jesus who paid the greatest price where he actually prayed that this cup would pass from him yet I submit to the will of the Lord. And so with that submitted heart, we come before the Father saying that he is high and lifted up and we create an environment of Thanksgiving to honor him for what Jesus has done to spill out his blood for us to have a broken body for us to be betrayed, to be denied that the crowd would choose another. And we say God that you are so kind, you're meek, hold the Lamb of God that you would go to that extent for you and for me. My heart is swelling with the goodness of God, the goodness of Jesus, his kindness towards us. And on this holy Thursday, this Passover Thursday where it is the remembrance of the passing over in Egypt, we say Jesus that you have covered us with your blood that you have gone to great lengths that your blood covers a multitude of sins. We rely, we are dependent. We're in great need of the blood of Jesus this morning. We recall and we remember that we are lost. We are far from you without the Lamb who was slain. Your blood, your body broken. God, we remember you. We stir up our hearts right now. We stir up a melody. We stir up a song. Can we respond right now? We thank you, Jesus. We bless you, Jesus. We honor you, Jesus. We honor your broken body. We honor your spilled blood. We honor you, Lamb of God. So you made him. Come back to the Lord. It says, Romans 6, 5, for if we've been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. God, we ask, Lord, today, unify us to your death and unify us to your resurrection in the name of Jesus. We say today, once again, crucify the old self, the old life, and let the newness of Jesus reign. Let there be no dominion of sin inside of us. We ask, Lord, that the life of Jesus, the work of Jesus, the resurrection power of Jesus, the blood of Jesus, to reign and to rule in us as your saints, that we are covered by your blood. We ask, Lord, unify us in heart, unify us in a mind that we would have one mind and one heart in Christ Jesus under the dominion of Jesus Christ, who rules, who reigns, who seated at the right hand of the Father. And we say today, unite us in your blood, unite us in your resurrection. Unify the body of Christ, even in this holy week where there is a spirit of division. We ask, Lord, for a spirit of unity that you're raising up a standard in these days that we would be unified under the dominion of Christ. What you purchased on the cross, we say today, you rule and you reign. We have one name that we sit under. His name is Jesus Christ. You sit on the throne. We extol you. We lift you high. You are blessed, highly exalted, honored, the dominion of Christ, ruling and reigning in our hearts and in our minds. Would you build up your body, build up your family, build up your bride, the church today in the blood and in the resurrection? Unify us in you today in Jesus Christ, in your name. And we become obedient to Jesus. We become slaves to Jesus, not to sin, but to him, bond servants willingly following the way of Jesus. God, I pray today that you would cast off any, any inheritance that was a slave mentality, that was an orphan mentality and we are adopted sons and daughters due to the cross and we take on, we take on that inheritance today as sons and daughters, as co-heirs in Christ Jesus. I pray that we would be built up in our most holy faith today. Strengthen us, strengthen your church today. The adopted ones, those that have purchased by your blood. I pray that there would be a deposit and an impartation today of the inheritance and the identity that we are yours. We are in you. We are in Christ today and we say, God, thank you that we can be called sons and daughters. We are the adopted ones, your saints. God, strengthen your church, build up your church, build up your saints, your sons and your daughters in their identity as the adopted ones. God, we pray right now. You would cast off all other ways, all other ways of thinking and we ask for the spirit of wisdom and revelation of Jesus Christ. You rule and you reign over minds and hearts. Our identities, our souls are made one in you. God, unify us. This was your prayer in John seventeen that we would be made one just as you and the father are one. Make us one in you today. Unify your body. Unify the bride. Unify the church in Jesus. We pray your manifold wisdom. Your ways are higher. The wisdom of the cross, the wisdom of brokenness, the wisdom of the meekness of Jesus. It violates our human ways and we say that you are higher. You're exalted. Hallelujah Jesus. That you're above our ways. You're above our intellect and we crown you with the God that we don't crown ourselves wields. God, we ask her for that spirit of revelation. God over the church. God that we would not be numb in this Easter Good Friday week to just continual liturgical norms. God, we ask her that you would break in in glory. The sleeping church. God, wake up your church. Wake up the saints. Wake up the sons and the daughters. We ask her for the glory of God. The glory of Jesus. How perfect are your ways. How perfect are you. We ask her for the glory of Jesus to be revealed in this time in your name and in your spirit. We pray by the red scene. You could change the verbiage here. They exchanged the glory of God and they forgot the cross. They forgot the resurrection. The same way that they forget. It's easy in these days for us to forget. Let it not be so that we would exchange the glory of God for anything. There's a I just pray for a spirit of repentance over the church for in any way that we have exalted our ways exalted our methods exalted our churches exalted our pastors over Jesus Christ in any way if there's any way within me God I repent and I say if I have exchanged the glory of God in any way that I consciously or subconsciously know I I submit and I repent and I return to the cross and I return to the resurrection that without you I am a stranger and I am alienated from you but you have purchased me you have purchased your bride and we ask her that there will be a returning and a remembrance and I pray that as Moses prayed show us your glory God that we would not exchange glory we ask Lord for a remembering and even a current reality of the glory of God at being revealed in our midst God let us not be numb let us not be asleep let us not exchange your glory for anything else we ask Lord that the glory of God the glory of Jesus the glory of the cross the glory of the resurrection God would be remembered we exalt you Jesus let us not exchange you any longer we repent and we ask Lord that you are the great shepherd you are over the church and we extol you we lift you up right now can we just lift you up Jesus we lift you right now can we just even lift up our hands and we say to you Jesus you sit on the throne you sit on the throne and we exalt you as high and lifted up to receive all glory and worth and wisdom and strength and honor we bless you today we say holy are you Jesus and we bless you we don't exchange you you are the glory being revealed in this hour we ask Lord show us your glory in the name of Jesus yes he is isn't he to receive power wealth wisdom might honor glory and blessing it says that John who's receiving this revelation he looked and he heard around the throne the living creatures the elders the voice of many angels numbering myriads of myriads of thousands of thousands I see that picture where Jesus is entering and coming out of his throne room and looking at the multitudes that have been bought and purchased by his blood those that have said yes to the free gift of salvation and so we see that and we see that image and we hear the voices that are responding to Jesus saying that you are the worthy one you have saved and redeemed me you have redeemed us we are your body we are your church and there's one voice saying worthy is the lamb who was slain to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and blessing and glory god we say we join in heaven song the myriad thousands one heart one mind one voice saying to Jesus you are the word that you would come Emmanuel and dwell among us and crucify and go to the depths of hell but you have the keys and you have redeemed and you have purchased and we on towards you Jesus over our church over our city over our nation god refresh us in the power the glory and the might of Jesus Christ saved redeemed due to you god we thank you just let that thanksgiving arise out of our hearts right now god we just thank you god the worthiness of Jesus the power of Jesus strangers we would be aliens without you but you have come to redeem you have come to reconcile you as the lamb of god laying your life down that we might have life and have it to the fullest god we pray for the fullness of life the fullness of life show us yourself god reveal yourself in these days and in these times we pray in the name of Jesus by his resurrection we have Psalm 31 there's a phrase that's just been sticking with me marvelous to marvel at his kindness that our hearts would be tenderized circumcised in this season to remember to not exchange but to remember and to marvel at the glory to marvel at his kindness god we thank you for the marvelous kindness that you have demonstrated your meekness your kindness undeserving grace god we thank you for your mercy expressed to us let our hearts be tender towards you just say that let let our hearts be tender towards your marvelous kindness we marvel at your kindness we bless you we bless you Jesus we bless you today on this holy thursday we bless you and would we remember today as we go to marvel at your kindness thank you team for leading us thank you those in the room be blessed in this holy week amen
