Can you pray?

Notes of meeting on 17 October 2017

Picture of Jesus carrying His most Holy Cross.
He seemed to be visiting every country and island in the World.
As He reached nearly all countries He staggered under the weight of sin; in some countries He fell to the ground crushed and overcome with nausea. With great difficulty He carried on until all had been visited. Then Jesus and His Cross rose upwards and the vile World and all its sin could be seen on His Cross until the World was enwrapped by His Cross.
Jesus says:
" My children, for you are my children, I ask you this:
Can you be Simon to Me, can you pray for your people, your country, for your world?
You are mine and I ask you to put behind you all childish things and earnestly pray.
Your Mother and My Mother followed Me in everything.
She who is Queen of Peace never answered back but prayed constantly. By means of prayer and sacrifice through Her Immaculate Heart all things are perfected and all things will be put right.
If you pray for poor souls in your families, in your country, in your world even though you yourselves are not perfect you will see miracles within your families and countries and your world.
Be Simon to Me, be Mother to Me, help Me to help you.
Your Jesus who weeps for such love of you and of all Creation.
Jesus."

Joel 2 v 28 - 32
‘And afterwards,
    I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
    your old men will dream dreams,
    your young men will see visions.
²⁹ Even on my servants, both men and women,
    I will pour out my Spirit in those days.
³⁰ I will show wonders in the heavens
    and on the earth,
    blood and fire and billows of smoke.
³¹ The sun will be turned to darkness
    and the moon to blood
    before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
³² And everyone who calls
    on the name of the Lord will be saved;
for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
    there will be deliverance,
    as the Lord has said,
even among the survivors
    whom the Lord calls

Everyone who turns back to Me shall be saved.

Isaiah 11 v 10-12

¹⁰ In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his resting-place will be glorious. ¹¹ In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the surviving remnant of his people from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt, from Cush, from Elam, from Babylonia, from Hamath and from the islands of the Mediterranean.

¹² He will raise a banner for the nations
    and gather the exiles of Israel;
he will assemble the scattered people of Judah
    from the four quarters of the earth.

May our prayer rise like incense before You that Your purposes might be fulfilled.

My children pray as never before

Notes from meeting 27 October 2015

Picture of Our Blessed Mother dressed in grey. She came to us here in this room. She looked very grave and sad but even so she smiled at us.
We all understood we were to join hands with her. We were lifted up and below us we could see England, we went higher until we reached the very top of our world where we could all see Our Beloved Saviour on his Cross.
Our Blessed Mother indicated to us to form a circle around Him and pray.
She says:
"My children pray as never before for your brothers and sisters who have no love in their hearts except for self. These poor ones need your help against Satan and his armies. Pray to open their hearts to Jesus so they will not be lost to perdition.
My little ones try to be holy at all times so that Satan has no hold over you if you feel fear or feel overwhelmed come to me your Mother and I will hide you under my mantle as a mother hen hides her brood. You are so precious to me as are all souls. My Son cries for love of them, He suffers for love of them. Pray my good children and help your brothers and sisters, comfort my Son.
I bless you with Jesus' blessing.

In the darkness an army of great magnitude in darkness was trying to snatch souls from the earth but as we prayed angels of light rebuffed the darkness and a loving hand caught those destined for hell and saved them, their faces were full of wonder and awe.


Jeremiah 1 v 4 -10
⁴ The word of Yahweh came to me, saying:
⁵ 'Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you came to birth I consecrated you; I appointed you as prophet to the nations.'
⁶ I then said, 'Ah, ah, ah, Lord Yahweh; you see, I do not know how to speak: I am only a child!'
⁷ But Yahweh replied, 'Do not say, "I am only a child," for you must go to all to whom I send you and say whatever I command you.
⁸ Do not be afraid of confronting them, for I am with you to rescue you, Yahweh declares.'
⁹ Then Yahweh stretched out his hand and touched my mouth, and Yahweh said to me: 'There! I have put my words into your mouth.
¹⁰ Look, today I have set you over the nations and kingdoms, to uproot and to knock down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.'

 

Have confidence my people.
Have confidence in my love for you.
Have confidence in my hope.
Have confidence in my strength.

Prepare your hearts and pray for the saving of many souls and your own too

Notes of Praise and Intecession meeting on 17 December 2013

Picture of Mary heavily pregnant, she is waiting to give birth to her child.

She is also waiting for us to open our hearts to let the Christ Child be born within us.

She asks for us to worship in simplicity for her Son Jesus to awaken a dead world, a cold world, that the hearts of the cold will be warmed and the dead hearts will be revived that they will come to know the love of The Father through the Son.

She says "Prepare your hearts and pray for the saving of many souls and your own too" "Think no Theology or mighty thoughts, come in simplicity and worship Jesus your Saviour"

...

I am light in the darkness.

I am light that darkness cannot diminish.

I am a light to the nations.

...

The King is here.

Pray and make sacrifices for lost souls

Notes from Praise and Intercession Night 27 August 2013

Picture of a large seat of fire - the Heavenly Fathers Throne.
Michael the Archangel bowed down before the throne and entered into the flames, he seemed to be talking, he then passed out through the flames until he arrived above our group. In his hands he had a large host which he raised up to the Father and the host was broken into many pieces. Michael then served each person with the Holy Eucharist as food for our strength. This gift of Our Lords Body is given to us to strengthen us as we are called as a group to pray and make sacrifice and fast more and more. This enables those souls who would be lost to the Fathers Kingdom to be freed from the Devils snares so they can repent and receive The Great Mercy purchased by Jesus with his Blood.
This gift of strength will enable this group not to be afraid of the responsibility and burden which seems to be upon us. Jesus and Mary will help us to act willingly and with the armoury of help given us in the Eucharist, Fasting, Holy Rosary, Acts of Mercy such as the saying of the Divine Mercy Chaplet and individual acts of Penance. When we are low or under attack we can call on Our Mother and Jesus for Peace and the ability to carry this work with great Joy. If we return again to our armoury especially the Eucharist our strength in the Holy Spirit will overcome all Satan's traps. Michael stands over this group with his sword held ready. Satan cannot defeat this work if we look to Our Mother and do as requested. She is Our Mother and needs our help, our allegiance must be to her and to her Son Jesus. It is imperative that we unite with Jesus and Mary. ..........................................

Help Me pray for souls in darkness

..........................................

Psalm 103 v1-2

1 Bless Yahweh, my soul, from the depths of my being, his holy name; 2 bless Yahweh, my soul, never forget all his acts of kindness.

Jesus came to save the lost and those in darkness

Notes of Meeting on 13 August 2013
Picture of people naked in a dark cavern. There was no one to pray for them. Jesus and Mary whose hearts are aflame with love for them want us to pray for these people. Our prayers can be a garment for the naked and bring them light in darkness.

Jonah 3 v 4-10

4 Jonah began by going a day's journey into the city and then proclaimed, 'Only forty days more and Nineveh will be overthrown.' 5 And the people of Nineveh believed in God; they proclaimed a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least. 6 When the news reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his robe, put on sackcloth and sat down in ashes. 7 He then had it proclaimed throughout Nineveh, by decree of the king and his nobles, as follows: 'No person or animal, herd or flock, may eat anything; they may not graze, they may not drink any water. 8 All must put on sackcloth and call on God with all their might; and let everyone renounce his evil ways and violent behaviour. 9 Who knows? Perhaps God will change his mind and relent and renounce his burning wrath, so that we shall not perish.' 10 God saw their efforts to renounce their evil ways. And God relented about the disaster which he had threatened to bring on them, and did not bring it.

Matthew 9 v 14- 17

14 Then John's disciples came to him and said, 'Why is it that we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not?' 15 Jesus replied, 'Surely the bridegroom's attendants cannot mourn as long as the bridegroom is still with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast. 16 No one puts a piece of unshrunken cloth onto an old cloak, because the patch pulls away from the cloak and the tear gets worse. 17 Nor do people put new wine into old wineskins; otherwise, the skins burst, the wine runs out, and the skins are lost. No; they put new wine in fresh skins and both are preserved.'

Luke 19 v 1 -10

1 He entered Jericho and was going through the town 2 and suddenly a man whose name was Zacchaeus made his appearance; he was one of the senior tax collectors and a wealthy man. 3 He kept trying to see which Jesus was, but he was too short and could not see him for the crowd; 4 so he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to catch a glimpse of Jesus who was to pass that way. 5 When Jesus reached the spot he looked up and spoke to him, 'Zacchaeus, come down. Hurry, because I am to stay at your house today.' 6 And he hurried down and welcomed him joyfully. 7 They all complained when they saw what was happening. 'He has gone to stay at a sinner's house,' they said. 8 But Zacchaeus stood his ground and said to the Lord, 'Look, sir, I am going to give half my property to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody I will pay him back four times the amount.' 9 And Jesus said to him, 'Today salvation has come to this house, because this man too is a son of Abraham; 10 for the Son of man has come to seek out and save what was lost.'

Matthew 18 v 12-14

12 'Tell me. Suppose a man has a hundred sheep and one of them strays; will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hillside and go in search of the stray? 13 In truth I tell you, if he finds it, it gives him more joy than do the ninety-nine that did not stray at all. 14 Similarly, it is never the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost.

Help me your Jesus to save souls

Notes of Praise and Intercession Meeting 9 July 2013

Picture of Jesus upon the Cross and He was calling out to the Father "Why have you forsaken me?"
Jesus is still feeling this anguish today, right now, not with his Father but with us. "Why have you forsaken me?"
Jesus asks us to win souls for Him through love. He can look around at the billions of souls who do not want to know Him and His heart is broken and sorrowful. It is as though he were re-crucified because of the intense pain he feels that these people created in his image might not be able to come into His Kingdom.
He pleads with us and others around the world, who are his consolation, to pray for prayer can move mountains.
Love can heal all wounds and divisions.
Peace brings healing.
The Spirit works effectively through prayer. It is prayer that enables poor souls to open up to the Spirit.
Jesus is like a shepherd who calls but cannot be heard because of the cacophony of noise and the clamour of the evil one clouding the minds of the people, especially young people, to his loving voice.
"Why do you forsake me?" becomes "Why do you forsake my children?". Pray, pray, pray.
Do not let the evil one infiltrate even those of you, my beloved consolation. Stay with me, help me your Jesus to save souls.
I love you, you console me in this anguish. Help me, help me, for I am broken hearted.

Psalm 22
1 [For the choirmaster To 'the Doe of the Dawn' Psalm Of David] My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? The words of my groaning do nothing to save me.
2 My God, I call by day but you do not answer, at night, but I find no respite.
3 Yet you, the Holy One, who make your home in the praises of Israel,
4 in you our ancestors put their trust, they trusted and you set them free.
5 To you they called for help and were delivered; in you they trusted and were not put to shame.
6 But I am a worm, less than human, scorn of mankind, contempt of the people;
7 all who see me jeer at me, they sneer and wag their heads,
8 'He trusted himself to Yahweh, let Yahweh set him free! Let him deliver him, as he took such delight in him.'
9 It was you who drew me from the womb and soothed me on my mother's breast.
10 On you was I cast from my birth, from the womb I have belonged to you.
11 Do not hold aloof, for trouble is upon me, and no one to help me!
12 Many bulls are encircling me, wild bulls of Bashan closing in on me.
13 Lions ravening and roaring open their jaws at me.
14 My strength is trickling away, my bones are all disjointed, my heart has turned to wax, melting inside me.
15 My mouth is dry as earthenware, my tongue sticks to my jaw. You lay me down in the dust of death.
16 A pack of dogs surrounds me, a gang of villains closing in on me as if to hack off my hands and my feet.
17 I can count every one of my bones, while they look on and gloat;
18 they divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.
19 Yahweh, do not hold aloof! My strength, come quickly to my help,
20 rescue my soul from the sword, the one life I have from the grasp of the dog!
21 Save me from the lion's mouth, my poor life from the wild bulls' horns!
22 I shall proclaim your name to my brothers, praise you in full assembly:
23 'You who fear Yahweh, praise him! All the race of Jacob, honour him! Revere him, all the race of Israel!'
24 For he has not despised nor disregarded the poverty of the poor, has not turned away his face, but has listened to the cry for help.
25 Of you is my praise in the thronged assembly, I will perform my vows before all who fear him.
26 The poor will eat and be filled, those who seek Yahweh will praise him, 'May your heart live for ever.'
27 The whole wide world will remember and return to Yahweh, all the families of nations bow down before him.
28 For to Yahweh, ruler of the nations, belongs kingly power!
29 All who prosper on earth will bow before him, all who go down to the dust will do reverence before him. And those who are dead,
30 their descendants will serve him, will proclaim his name to generations
31 still to come; and these will tell of his saving justice to a people yet unborn: he has fulfilled it.

Picture of the stone being rolled away from the tomb.
Lord roll away the stone from our dead hearts and bring them to life. Help us live the resurrection.


James 1 v 19 - 27
19 Remember this, my dear brothers: everyone should be quick to listen but slow to speak and slow to human anger;
20 God's saving justice is never served by human anger;
21 so do away with all impurities and remnants of evil. Humbly welcome the Word which has been planted in you and can save your souls.
22 But you must do what the Word tells you and not just listen to it and deceive yourselves.
23 Anyone who listens to the Word and takes no action is like someone who looks at his own features in a mirror and,
24 once he has seen what he looks like, goes off and immediately forgets it.
25 But anyone who looks steadily at the perfect law of freedom and keeps to it -- not listening and forgetting, but putting it into practice -- will be blessed in every undertaking.
26 Nobody who fails to keep a tight rein on the tongue can claim to be religious; this is mere self-deception; that person's religion is worthless.
27 Pure, unspoilt religion, in the eyes of God our Father, is this: coming to the help of orphans and widows in their hardships, and keeping oneself uncontaminated by the world.

Pray Pray Pray!

Notes of meeting on 28 May 2013

A picture of a blue light which on looking closer was revealed to be a gossamer net.
Four angels pulled at the four corners and pulled it towards the Earth covering it then they drew the four corners together completely enclosing our world in this gossamer net of blue light.
Our Lady shows us that this gossamer net is a protection she has woven along with the Holy Spirit and our prayers. Our prayers are important because if we keep praying the holes that Satan makes in this protection are repaired.
Our Lady implores our prayers to save her fallen sons and daughters. If we pray the Evil One cannot sustain his onslaughts. If we pray her children will receive graces to turn back to her Son and the Father. If we pray the protection stays intact to allow the Holy Spirit to give extra graces to her children.
She says Pray, Pray, Pray!
She smiles at us.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are all parts of Christs body. He is the head (the vine) we are the limbs (the branches). Cut off from him we can do nothing. Let us remain with him, live in him. Let us pray for one another that we stay united to Christ and one another. Let us pray for those who have become separated from him that they be given the grace to return and re-unite with him.

Save Souls

Notes from Meeting on 7 May 2013

Picture of an army of all different factions, some in brown and others in white, red or blue.
Our Lady was at the front leading them as they walked to the Throne of the Father where she knelt down to worship and pray. The whole army surrounded by light did the same. Our Lady spoke at length to the Father.
Our Lady followed by the army got up off their knees and processed to the Cross of Jesus where she again knelt and prayed.
The Blood of Jesus her Son flowed copiously and Jesus once again suffered. Our Lady asked that as the Blood of Jesus flowed we should pray and intercede for the fallen of mankind, that somehow we were being asked to participate in this suffering to save souls. She in all humility pleaded with us to help so that her Son's suffering wasn't in vain. It seemed as though His Blood cried out to us to save souls.
We could hear the poor souls crying out for help and pity.
I would liken it to how the poor mothers whose babies were killed by Herod, Our Lady feels that for each of us especially those lost to her Son Jesus.

Pray Pray Pray

James 5 v 19-20
19 My brothers, if one of you strays away from the truth, and another brings him back to it,
20 he may be sure that anyone who can bring back a sinner from his erring ways will be saving his soul from death and covering over many a sin.

Picture of a great body of water issuing from Jesus' Heart. It was a calm sea of Mercy that cascaded over the Earth and caught all sinners in its calm loving depths. This body of water went under the Earth to the very core, reaching out to those whose way is for Hell. This water surrounded them and lifted them through the layers until they reached the surface. Everyone of them was in total gratitude to Jesus for granting them this saving mercy.

It was felt strongly that Jesus wants us to pray for the lost and fallen, those in abject poverty of the Holy Spirit and those who have turned away from His Great Mercy. Our prayers can help to change minds so that they can see clearly that God the Father loves them.  We must please for our brothers and sisters souls as never before with urgency!

Pray and battle for lost souls

Notes from Praise and Intercession Night 27 November 2012

A dream: I was in the middle of a large battle and the smell of evil and fear all around was nauseating.
This was a clash between two forces and a total fight to the death.
I was weary I felt as if I had used up all my inner being I mean my spirit was dejected and I felt that the enemy was winning. I had no weapons left, I felt small, dejected and about to die.
At the edge of the battle I saw a man on a donkey riding towards me and he rode quietly through the cacophony right up to me. He dismounted and helped me to get on the donkey, he touched my hand and I immediately felt courage flood in to my inner being.
I felt so grateful not to be in the battle on my own. He smiled and quietly led the donkey and me out of the battle.

What did the dream mean - the simple answer is that when you feel battle weary call upon Jesus but not when in the battle but before you do battle. Battle we must because time is running out. Jesus is asking us to increase our efforts.

Picture of Mary in silence praying for her children and as she prayed a strong light enveloped her and the silence became a strong song of prayer and the light got larger and brighter and many people saw and heard her and joined with her praying and doing battle for lost souls, those that do not know God or want to. All is not lost if we join her and continue to give praise, pray and fast.

Ezekiel 21 v 14 -22

14 'Son of man, prophesy. Say, "The Lord says this. Say: The sword, the sword has been sharpened and polished,
15 sharpened for slaughter, polished to flash like lightning . . .
16 He has had it polished to be wielded, this sword sharpened and polished to put in the slaughterer's hand!
17 Shout and wail, son of man, for it will come on my people, on all the chief men of Israel doomed like my people to the sword! So beat your breast,
18 for this will be an ordeal . . . declares the Lord Yahweh.
19 So prophesy, son of man, and clap your hands! Let the sword pass three times, that sword for victims, that sword for a great victim, threatening them from every side!
20 To make hearts sink and make sure many fall, I have posted the slaughtering sword at every gate to flash like lightning, polished for slaughter.
21 Be sharp, on the right, be ready on the left, whichever way your blade is needed!
22 I too shall clap my hands and sate my fury! I, Yahweh, have spoken." '

You are My Beloved

Notes of Praise and Intercession meeting on 31 January 2012

Picture of Jesus full of glory and might. His face shone like the sun. His look was of might and justice but also of calmness, kindness and love.
Each of us in the group stood before him one at a time and as each one looked into his eyes we could see ourselves mirrored in them.
His heart seemed  to beat faster and echoed our own, each person felt such longing that bitter sweet agony when love feels as though it is un-returned fully aching for sweet relief. His heart beats even faster throbbing till our being especially our hearts reverberate with all his love and so at last we feel something of the love he feels for cold hearted mankind. We need to feel this bitter sweet agony of love to equip us in his fight for souls.
As we look deeper into his eyes we feel his heart's love for us and the know that we are truly loved as no other. He knows us through and through. He has not brought us this far to just turn away from us, no, we are his.
We are his heart, his eyes, we are his people, his beloved and as we look upon the lost souls we through his heart and his eyes will see the mirror image of himself. These lost souls are His. He needs us to mirror him in everything to win these souls back for life in the Kingdom.

This is a bitter sweet requirement with much pain but this group will perform wonders through Him.

"You are My Beloved"

2 Timothy 4 v 1-5
1 From Paul, apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God in accordance with his promise of life in Christ Jesus,
2 to Timothy, dear son of mine. Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Night and day I thank God whom I serve with a pure conscience as my ancestors did. I remember you in my prayers constantly night and day;
4 I remember your tears and long to see you again to complete my joy.
5 I also remember your sincere faith, a faith which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and I am sure dwells also in you.

The people that lived in darkness have seen a great light on those who dwell in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned


Picture of Jesus at the Transfiguration bathed in light opening his arms for us, reaching out to us with his love. We were before him together with the Apostles, we are ordinary people just like they were.

Sense that in our praise we were pulling in the nets or a rope to save people .

Be open hearted and pray for souls

Notes of Meeting 27 October 2009

Be open hearted. Let my Peace and Love come into you. Let it shine through your eyes to others.

Luke 7 v 36 – 50
Jesus Anointed by a Sinful Woman
36Now one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, so he went to the Pharisee's house and reclined at the table. 37When a woman who had lived a sinful life in that town learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume, 38and as she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.
39When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is—that she is a sinner."
40Jesus answered him, "Simon, I have something to tell you."
"Tell me, teacher," he said.
41"Two men owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarius, and the other fifty. 42Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he cancelled the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?"
43Simon replied, "I suppose the one who had the bigger debt cancelled."
"You have judged correctly," Jesus said.
44Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. 46You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. 47Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little."
48Then Jesus said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
49The other guests began to say among themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?"
50Jesus said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."


Notes of Meeting 10 November 2009

Picture of a mountain with the Cross at the top bathed in a bright light.
Mary stands at the foot of the Cross.
We are to come to the Cross for strength and we are to come and offer ourselves and our burdens and sufferings at the foot of the Cross for souls, for the salvation of souls.
Pray for those that are in darkness.

Hebrews 13 v 1- 16
Concluding Exhortations
1Keep on loving each other as brothers. 2Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it. 3Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.
4Marriage should be honoured by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. 5Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
"Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you." 6So we say with confidence,
"The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?"
7Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith. 8Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
9Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings. It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by grace, not by ceremonial foods, which are of no value to those who eat them. 10We have an altar from which those who minister at the tabernacle have no right to eat.
11The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering, but the bodies are burned outside the camp. 12And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood. 13Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore. 14For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.
15Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that confess his name. 16And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased

Notes of Meeting 17 November 2009

Picture of people (us) on a river casting out nets. If we cast out the nets on our own without looking to the Lord we are in difficulty with bloodied hands. With the Lord together we can be fishers of souls and bring in a great catch. We are to bring souls to his loving heart.

Isaiah 25
Praise to the LORD
1 O LORD, you are my God;
I will exalt you and praise your name,
for in perfect faithfulness
you have done marvellous things,
things planned long ago.
2 You have made the city a heap of rubble,
the fortified town a ruin,
the foreigners' stronghold a city no more;
it will never be rebuilt.
3 Therefore strong peoples will honour you;
cities of ruthless nations will revere you.
4 You have been a refuge for the poor,
a refuge for the needy in his distress,
a shelter from the storm
and a shade from the heat.
For the breath of the ruthless
is like a storm driving against a wall
5 and like the heat of the desert.
You silence the uproar of foreigners;
as heat is reduced by the shadow of a cloud,
so the song of the ruthless is stilled.
6 On this mountain the LORD Almighty will prepare
a feast of rich food for all peoples,
a banquet of aged wine—
the best of meats and the finest of wines.
7 On this mountain he will destroy
the shroud that enfolds all peoples,
the sheet that covers all nations;
8 he will swallow up death forever.
The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears
from all faces;
he will remove the disgrace of his people
from all the earth.
The LORD has spoken.
9 In that day they will say,
"Surely this is our God;
we trusted in him, and he saved us.
This is the LORD, we trusted in him;
let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation."
10 The hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain;
but Moab will be trampled under him
as straw is trampled down in the manure.
11 They will spread out their hands in it,
as a swimmer spreads out his hands to swim.
God will bring down their pride
despite the cleverness of their hands.
12 He will bring down your high fortified walls
and lay them low;
he will bring them down to the ground,
to the very dust.
