Lazarus come forth...

Notes of Praise and Intercession Meeting 24 May 2011


*Lazarus come forth.. Jesus calls people out of the darkness into the light. He calls them (and us) out of unbelief, sin and death into the light. He wants to remove the binding cloths to set us free to bring us to new life, to the salvation that he has won for us by his death and Resurrection.

The smell of death may still cling to those he has brought to new life, we are called to pray that they be cleansed healed and cared for. Perhaps we will be called to spend time praying and caring for such a person in love.

*Deep calls to deep - Gods loving heart calls to our hearts - do our hearts respond.

*Picture of Jesus nailed to the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
Jesus in his goodness and divinity, by his sacrifice of crucifixion, eradicated evil.
Emanating from him were great flames of cleansing fire that crossed the whole world, followed by tremendous light. This fire went to all dark places, cleansing and healing then leaving only the beautiful light.
The light joined up to other points of light on the earth, like this little group. Many people were converting and loving Jesus.
Our Lady magnified the Lord. We also in our little way through praise, prayer, thanksgiving, fasting, little sacrifices to magnify the Lord. We may not be able to see the fruits of this, but by faith we know the Holy Spirit works marvels and one day in glory all will be revealed.
I could see after the cleansing fire the earth seemed cleaner,more lush. The colours stood out more. Also our inner beings like the earth were cleaner clearer renewed more loving, more faithful, more gifted, more adoring of Christ who in turn gazed on us with such happiness.
The Holy Spirit is equipping us to participate in the huge action of renewal! He is in our hearts that are fearfully and wonderfully made by the Father

1 Corinthians 2 v 9-10
9 However, as it is written:
“What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”—
the things God has prepared for those who love him—
10 these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.
The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.




*Nothing is impossible for God
