Notes of Praise and Intercession meeting 17 July 2012

Picture of the Earth in blue and green surrounded by a black clouds and shadow. A great light appears and disperses the clouds.

Sense of the awesome power of the earth being shaken, moved re-created – disturbed by the power of God

The Empty Tomb  is an earth shattering event  a great light emanates from the tomb and takes us into the heart of the Father

Psalm 148
1 Praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord from the heavens;
praise him in the heights above.
2 Praise him, all his angels;
praise him, all his heavenly hosts.
3 Praise him, sun and moon;
praise him, all you shining stars.
4 Praise him, you highest heavens
and you waters above the skies.
5 Let them praise the name of the Lord,
for at his command they were created,
6 and he established them for ever and ever—
he issued a decree that will never pass away.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth,
you great sea creatures and all ocean depths,
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds,
stormy winds that do his bidding,
9 you mountains and all hills,
fruit trees and all cedars,
10 wild animals and all cattle,
small creatures and flying birds,
11 kings of the earth and all nations,
you princes and all rulers on earth,
12 young men and women,
old men and children.
13 Let them praise the name of the Lord,
for his name alone is exalted;
his splendour is above the earth and the heavens.
14 And he has raised up for his people a horn,
the praise of all his faithful servants,
of Israel, the people close to his heart.
Praise the Lord

We wonder at the majesty of the created universe, the sun, moon, the earth and the stars and galaxies – the song of the spheres – and yet the greatest part of creation is the heart and soul of man where we can share with God. “Yet you have made him little less than a god” Psalm 8 v 6

City of Gold

A barred and closed door – our praise allows the door to be opened as we co-operate with Jesus’ work of redemption to allow people in.

Jesus' outstretched arms allow people to cross over the chasm to the city of gold.

I sent my disciples out in twos to spread the Good News. As they went out miracles, healings took place. This was before the Holy Spirit came down upon them. My father, your father, empowered them. Then the Spirit came upon them and how much more they achieved. My “Good News” spread across the world!
The Holy Spirit they received is the same Spirit I send to you, like rain falling from the sky. Open your-selves to my Spirit, fill your hearts with my power. Let it overflow from your hearts to others. Then, you too, will see and activate, miracles and healings. People will see my power through you and then they will see my “Good News”.
