A New Heaven and a New Earth

Notes from Praise and Intercession Meeting on 20 December 2011

A new Heaven and a new Earth.

Revelation 21 v 1 - 7
1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea.

2 I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband.
3 Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, 'Look, here God lives among human beings. He will make his home among them; they will be his people, and he will be their God, God-with-them.
4 He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past has gone.'
5 Then the One sitting on the throne spoke. 'Look, I am making the whole of creation new. Write this, "What I am saying is trustworthy and will come true."
6 Then he said to me, 'It has already happened. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give water from the well of life free to anybody who is thirsty;
7 anyone who proves victorious will inherit these things; and I will be his God and he will be my son.

The Spirit hovers over the void,
The Spirit hovers over Mary
The Spirit hovers over our hearts

Bring Jesus to birth in us as you brought him to birth in Mary.

We pray for all those suffering from addiction of any kind - Lord set them free.
