 Hey, good morning. Welcome to morning prayer from the Radiant City Center or Tuesday mornings probably for the last few months We have just been contending specifically for revival in America revival in the cities Obviously just been encouraged with what God is doing In America and in the nations right now stirring hunger for his presence and We had a prophetic word from Jim LeFoon a couple months ago and and maybe you remember just that phrase one more time that Jesus was praying and Contending for America in that but he also talked about in that prophetic word He talked about what he said a unique spilling over of God's presence and his presence was lingering in Churches and this was a few months ago, and I feel like those two phrases really Speak to what's been happening in America There has been this spilling over and a lingering of God's presence that has has Just marked this kind of unique season of outpouring and so you know We've been saying a million times with Zechariah 10 and the season of rain asked for rain Continuing to ask the Lord for his presence and letting letting you know We're we're at the phase to like there was kind of excitement in Asbury and some of the excitement of what God was doing is kind of burned out and It's kind of left like who's still hungry Who's still hungry like once the excitement of wow Asbury thousands of people coming in and and even just What was happening here at radiant? Maybe at churches of you know services going four or five hours like the novelty has worn off And the question is who's hungry? Just that that phrase that only the hungry dying and only the thirsty drink and man It can be easy to be in an environment of spiritual hunger and think that that means that you are hungry and And and it doesn't we can be a product of that environment of a corporate reach but inside not have that and so You know, I want to just ask that question. You know, are you still hungry for his presence? Are you still hungry for the bread of his word? Are you still hungry for the drink or the you thirsty for the drink of living water? So let's just approach him as we are and and Go before him in this moment and I just want to begin by asking for the gift of spiritual hunger We can't make ourselves hungry. It's it's only something God can do We can't want God without God. We can only want to want God without God So let's just approach the throne room right now boldly Dressed in the robes of righteousness covered in the blood of Jesus Lord we approach and we just ask for our hearts to burn within us this morning Father we ask just for the gift of your presence and the gift of hunger Lord we ask For us to thirst Lord only the hungry dying only the thirsty drink We just confess Jesus we thirst Would you give us a drink of living water? Jesus we're hungry. Would you give us our daily bread? Let's begin lifting up our voices Welcoming his presence, but also just expressing hunger for him hunger for his presence Oh He's been hungry for more thirsty for more Jesus Yeah, just lift up your voice singing your understanding singing the spirit Well, just lift up your own song. There's nothing better than giving you glory all the other broken sisters Poison us and leave us dry They leave our soul heavy and broken but Lord When we give you all the glory when we bring you the glory When we don't hold the glory for ourselves Lord when we hold the weight of glory on ourselves that weight crushes us But Lord when we give you the glory Lord, we are freed and liberated. We find our purpose and our destiny Lord the world is looking for the reason why they exist But we know our reason why we exist. It's to bring you glory to give you glory. This is why we have breath This is why our feet are on the earth This is why you've given us everything It's just to give it back to you and to bring you glory You are worthy of it and we were made for it So we give it to you. We bring you the glory this morning Lord not unto us But unto you Lord unto your name be the praise the honor the glory not unto us But only to you only to your name Lord our lives our ministry Lord everything we have Our families our homes our jobs Lord the praise and rejection of man that we've received Lord We give it all to you We give you glory and honor We crown you with many crowns Any crown any achievement We've received in this life. It's yours It's just a crown to lay at your feet Lord any tears we've experienced from suffering It's just more tears to wash your feet with Lord It all belongs to you You created all things By your will they exist You uphold things by the word of your power the only reason we have breath In our lungs to give you that glory is because you breathe your ruach into our lungs in the first place Even breathing we breathe in Your grace and we breathe out your praise we give you glory this morning Have all of the glory Have all of the wisdom have all of the honor. It's yours This is what we remain for to bring you glory and praise This is why your church exists to bring you glory and praise This is why the great commission exists for you to have your glory among the nations Lord This is why we're compelled to miss it to bring you glory This is why we serve in the church to bring you glory Lord. This is why we have gifts This is why we have talents to bring you glory This is why we have assignments from you to bring you glory This is why we woke up this morning And we planted our feet on the ground Not unto us not for our own purpose not for our dreams and our destiny and our will and our Not unto us Lord, but unto you not unto us But unto you be all the glory be all the honor be all the praise forever Forever forever forever all man. Let's just give him glory in this moment Not unto us Lord, but unto your name Not unto the greater why why we contend for revival In our cities and in the nation It's not to make us awesome. It's not to make the church itself in the name of the church Awesome, but it's to exalt the head of the church Jesus It's so that the lamb receives the reward of his suffering it's so that The light Of the glory of god Radiating on his people and on his church would draw all men to himself So that the gospel can be proclaimed in all nations so that Jesus can be glorified Lord just settle the issue in our hearts lord. We are anxious and In we are worried about many things Lord help us choose The better parts to be at your feet to bring you glory Lord, let us remember that even the many responsibilities we've been given Lord are not unto an end of the their own But they are unto bringing and giving you glory until you receiving the glory That you deserve This is the posture of our heart To bring you and to give you glory that you deserve From this place. I want to Turn us in an intercession. I want us to take our stands On the wall and continue to contend as we do on Tuesday mornings for revival out of acts 2 17 and it shall come to pass In the last day says god, I will pour out my spirit on all flesh your sons and daughters Shall prophesy your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams And on my men servants on my maid servants. I will pour out my spirit in those days and they shall prophesy Lord we lift our eyes To the heavens lord and we thank you for the rain that you've been sending upon this nation and upon the earth Or we thank you for this unique spilling over of your presence on your church And on your people that's happened over the last month and a half Lord, we thank you for the rain That is reaching the nations lord we We say we see Ourselves in this prophecy you said in the last days you'd pour out your spirit on all flesh Lord we thank you and lord we see the the prophesy the prophecy that our sons and daughters Would prophesy that our young men would see visions and old men dream dreams Lord, we thank you just for that prophetic stirring. I just Even in my own life just the last few weeks since my my 10 year old aliyah got baptized in the holy spirit She's seen two additional visions of jesus. It's becoming normal for her to see visions of jesus and and and there's just a prophetic stirring right now And so lord we even lift before you our our children and our kids lord is Even the one year olds and the two year olds and three year olds lord in this unique spilling Over of your spirit lord we ask For dreams and visions for our young people lord in a time where there is so much confusion And lord there is so much demonic vision lord on tiktok and social media and in schools lord Where there is a spirit of death and a That is pervasive and is trying to give our young people vision For their life that is the spirit of death lord we ask that you would break in On our young kids lord that they would see visions of jesus Lord even what we've been singing this morning. There's nothing better than bringing you glory lord a young Generation that's asking the question. Why do I exist? What is my purpose in life? Why am I even here? Lord, we just declare the truth. They exist to bring you glory and to give you glory They exist to worship they exist to bring you glory with their lives And so lord for our our children Lord we We put them before you and in this unique spilling over lord we ask For a prophetic spirit on our sons and our daughters We ask for our young men to see visions and lord old men to dream dreams Lord, it's not natural for old men to dream dreams Typically by that phase in life lord they've given up on dreaming But lord when your holy spirit moves you flip it on its head And even the the the older generation begins to dream Of the moves of god begins to dream Of the spirit of elijah where the hearts of the fathers are turned toward the children God we ask for that spirit of reconciliation and the spirit of elijah That comes alongside the outpouring of the holy spirit Lord where there's no competition between young and old there's no anger and bitterness between the older and the younger generation Just the spirit of elijah just the hearts that are turned toward one another Just compassion and honor and love and mutual respect that comes without pouring out of your spirit So lord you said in the last days you would pour out your spirit Your sons and daughters would prophesy your young men will see visions and your old men dream dreams So lord we ask you in this hour pour out your spirit in the name of jesus Spilling over of your presence Lord we ask for a tipping of the bowls Lord that you would hear the cries Lord over the decades Lord i asked that you would remember the prayers and the cries of the saints Lord for revival in this nation in this land Lord even the ones In the first grade awakening and the second grade awakening Lord in azusa street lord in the in the jesus movement lord those generations that not only prayed for themselves But they asked for the unique outpouring in the last days when you would pour out your spirit on all flesh And god we we thank you that we are not inventing these prayers Lord, but you have given us the language in your scriptures and for 2000 years your church Has always had a remnant who's praying and interceding and lord those bowls of Incense and prayers that have gone before you lord We ask for just a unique tipping out and a spilling out That would release outpouring and your presence and greater glory on your church Lord even as you have refined us particularly over this last Three years lord where you have emptied us and delivered us of our self-reliance But where you have emptied us and delivered us of doing church and methods of our own making lord And now as you've been preparing the wine skin lord, would you pour out your spirit god? We thank you for the testimonies of the spilling over in services Learned prodigals coming home of people being saved god We ask for the greater measure of that outpouring God we ask for a greater measure of that spilling over lord Lord where the fear of the lord would be in our sunday services lord Where people would get saved even before the altar call is given because they just experience the tangible Kabad the wavy glory of god among the people of god lord, would you pour out your spirits? Lord in such a fresh way on the congregation And the services on the gatherings on the prayer meetings Oh lord that you would give us grace upon grace upon grace That you would pour out the spirit of supplication that you would gather your people like joe too Lord where even the the nursing babes and the infants Lord all those would gather together Lord as the nations are gathering and conspiring in a psalm to unity of demonic Influence to lead the nations lord would you gather your people to cry out and would you send your glory on your people?

I just pray i pray that there would be a revival In generations loving one another god that there would not be a chasm that says that That the boomers are annoyed by the millennials and the millennials are trying to outpace jenzi and push them down But god there would be a different storyline that that gen acts would love those that are around them above and below And that millennials would serve jenzi and god that jenzi would look up to boomers for wisdom God i just pray that there would be a there it would be a revival in the way that generations Interact in our country would not be fighting for a position and trying to try to place each other in a particular box But say how can i love you?
