27th October 2024 - Teaching Service - Wake Up, Look Up, Rise Up.

Let me pray, Father, thank you for Peter. Father, I

thank you for his ministry.

Father.

I think he's got a heart for the world, for

the nation, for preaching the gospel, for seeing churches arise

and be different and be touched and filled by your spirit.

Father.

I pray that Lord, you move in our hearts as

we hear your work today in Jesus name. Amen, Amen,

thank you.

Yeah. Good to be with you in this expression of

what was running meat Christian fellowship or community church in

it's various times. I've been in four different meeting places

I think since I've started visiting you many many years ago.

We were in a little chapel kind of Then we

were in a school, then we were around the corner

by the station, and here we are, and I think

this is the best of the lot. Yeah, yeah, and

is the beginning of a new adventure for you, I'm sure.

So it really is encouraging to be with you. I

was Saturday and Sunday morning. I play the keyboard a

little bit, well, the piano. I don't like the keyboard,

it's too complicated. The acoustic piano is my limit. But

I play a bit like Les Dawson for those of

you are older and remember but I was playing this

morning and one of the songs I played was for you,

O Lord, art high above all the earth, I exhort you.

So I was really encouraged this morning to feel, hey,

we're in the flow and this is good news. So

I'm encouraged that we're going to experience something of God's

presence and God's power this morning as we meet together.

I've been around for many years. Last week, last Sunday

was my birthday. How old do you think I was? Yeah?

So how old do you think I was last Sunday?

Come on, come on, be honest. I've got a daughter

of fifty three. Or we've got a daughter of fifty three,

so we're one hundred and three nearly. Yeah, up higher higher, Yeah. No.

I was seventy six last weekend. And Irene and I

got married in nineteen seventy, so we've been married fifty

three years. We also started in ministry not that far

from here in Barnett, North London, in nineteen seventy, so

we've been around and we're still going and we're looking

forward to a new season for us as well. We're

actually moving to Warton on the knees up on the

Essex coast there in the next couple of months. Not

to retire, well kind of, but in response to prophetic encouragement.

And we believe we going into another new season for us.

So we're excited. We're not settling down or dying. We're

living with a real sense of expectation of being part

of a move of the Spirit of God. I've written

five books, actually, Dave the first one. It's about the

Holy Spirit. Lots of prophetic words about what I believe

God is going to do, and also a basic theological

outline of the work of the Holy Spirit. Anybody like

that book, Here you are, my dear catch that, Yeah

all right. I shouldn't have thrown it. I should get

you to get it. Here's one on the gifts of

the Spirit. Number two, Yes, sir, you're very encouraging. Yeah,

come and get that. Yeah all right, yeah, all right.

And then anybody wondering what God has for them and

the ministry my brother from Iran at the back. Yeah yeah, yeah,

that's for you. All right. I've got two and I'm

not giving them away. You left to buy them. This

one's called Our Journey. It's the story of our journey

with God. Somebody read it and said to me, I

believe God is going to use this book to bring

people back to Him, people who've known what it is

to walk with God and have walked away from God,

that they're going to read it and be touched by

God and start their journey back to God. That's available

fiver of that one. And this one is a funny book.

It's called A Time to Laugh. I wrote it after

the COVID thing when there was a lot of miserable

people about. And it's full of stories of mission experiences.

When we've been on mission. Some funny things have happened.

Some of them will make you smile, some of them

will make you laugh, laugh out loud, some of them

will horrify you. But all the money from that book,

I raised the money to have it printed, and every

penny from the sale of that book goes to missions.

And that's a fiber as well. In fact, every book

on the back table there is a fiver and if

you buy four for twenty pounds, you can have the

fifth one for nothing. So there you are. I'm not

trying to get rid of them. I just want to

give you the opportunity to take these of their hands

and whatever. Okay, so that's the commercial and I can

take cards by the way, yeah as well. So I'm

speaking this morning on a prophetic word that came to

us at a little while ago in the church. But

I felt it's more than a word for our church.

It's a word for the church, and therefore you, as

part of the church, this is a word for you.

It comes in three statements, wake up, look up, and

rise up. And I believe in those three statements we

have a word from God to encourage and inspire us

in this present day in which we're living. Wake up,

because if you don't wake up, you'll sleep through it

and miss it. Have you had that experience? At seventy six?

It's increasingly happening to me. I'm a football fan, and

for some reason, they put Match of the Day on

late Saturday night, and my team are never on first

because they're not good enough. And so I start at

half past ten watching the football and I get through

the first couple of matches, and then I wake up

in the middle of some other match and I've slept

through it and missed it. You had that experience? I

know my wife does. She starts watching a film and

then she goes to sleep. She wakes up, she said,

what happened? What happened? Because you go to sleep. Now

here's a really deep thing. We've got some students here

this morning. So yeah, so they're clever, aren't they students? Clever? Yeah? Anyway,

so here's a really deep thing. Listen to this. You

don't know you've been to sleep until you wake up.

Think about it. This is very deep. You don't know

you're asleep until you wake up. It's true, isn't it.

You don't look back, So, hell, I went to sleep.

Then when you wake up, you think, oh, I've been asleep,

And you don't know that you've been asleep until you

wake up. So it's possible to be asleep and not

realize it. In fact, you never realize you're asleep until

you wake up. You think I've been asleep. And I

think for many believers and many churches and networks and

Christians today, they are asleep and they're not aware of it. Asleep.

I'm not aware of it. That's a really unfortunate, disappointing

condition to be in. I believe that God wants us

to wake up, you know, God worked amongst these people

through Joshua. And there's a very powerful chapter, chapter three

of Joshua. And in that chapter we find Joshua waking

up early in the morning. It says, a Joshua arose

early in the morning, and God did incredible things through

him that day they went through the Jordan. The Jordan

opened up miracles. But if he'd ha stayed asleep, he'd

have missed it. If you're going to be part of

what God's doing, you've got to wake up. And we

have to wake up to what he's doing. You know,

in Isaiah fifty one and fifty two, three times God

says exactly the same thing, and he starts all three

of those verses with these words awake, awake, oaion, awake awake.

Why did he tell his people to awake because they

were asleep? In fact, here's some really deep theology. Following

Isaiah fifty one, You've got Isaiah fifty two, and it's

in those chapters. Three times God says, awake awake, I'm

going to do something. I'm going to move, I'm coming.

And in Isaiah fifty three, which follows I fifty two,

we have this prophetic word about the coming Messiah who's

going to come and suffer and die and pay the

price for people's sin, and God saying, wake up, wake up,

because your salvation is coming. And what happened when he

came to his people, they were asleep and they missed

it because the very people he came to, the Jewish nation,

to Israel, when he was born and lived when Jesus came,

what happened they missed it because they were asleep. And

he longed for them to respond to him and come

to him and experience this wonderful salvation. But they slept

through it and missed it. It's really serious, you know,

to be asleep and not aware of what is happening.

We need to be aware of what's going on in

our world. There's a verse in one Chronicles twelve. It's

one of my favorite verses, and it says this. In

One Chronicles twelve thirty two talks about the sons of

Isakah who had understanding of the times to know what

Israel ought to do. There were these people who had

understanding of the times and knew what the people of

God should do. And I believe for us as the church,

with this prophetic anointing, that we have and this prophetic

gifting that we have. We need to be aware of

the times in which we're living and know what we

ought to be doing. The world is in chaos, The

world is in a mess. What is going to be

the next horrific news item that we watch. It's almost

like at lunchtime today, you might switch on the news

and you just know that there's going to be another

bomb drop, There's going to be another chaos chaotic situation.

There's going to be another flood, another fire, another disaster,

another train crash. It's like we're living in a world

full of chaos, and we need to understand the times

because Jesus spoke about times of chaos and wars and

rumors of wars. And as I understand what I'm reading

and what I'm seeing, I believe that God is saying

to us one of two things, or even both one thing.

Either Jesus is coming again very soon because this world

is in such chaos, or we desperately need a move

of the Holy Spirit to come and change the situation

because we can't go on in this chaotic world. I'm

kind of I know many people were looking for the

change of government to make a difference. It's almost like

within three months the answer is not there. The answer

is in a significant, powerful intervention of the Holy Spirit.

That's the only thing that's going to change it. Or

Jesus is coming again, or it's both, because the scriptures

speak of both, and we need to wake up to

what's happening. I don't know if you are aware of this,

but in nineteen seventeen in Moscow in Russia, Oh, what's

the bloke's name, Stalin and his friends Lenin Rather and

his friends were gathered together to plan the over pro

of the Czar of Russia and to initiate a communist regime,

and very successfully, within a few years, the whole of

the Eastern Lot countries came under the domination of an

atheistic communistic philosophy and up the road. At exactly the

same time, the Orthodox Church were having a convention and

they were discussing what color vest the priest should wear

on Easter Sunday, whether it should be purple or blue.

While the world is coming under demonic influence and activity,

the church is discussing what color shirt to wear. We

need to wake up to what's happening in church. We

need to wake up to what is happening in our world.

There are things going on in our world that we

need to be aware of in order to respond as

God comes. You know, in the church, extraordinary things are happening.

God is pouring out his spirit in unprecedented ways in

unprecedented places. The church is in decline in the West,

but in extraordinary growth patterns in the East. It's interesting

that we've got a brother from Iran here. You know

where the fastest growing church in the world is today.

It's in Iran and Afghanistan, both of which get a

bad press as countries for their political stance and activities.

But God is working and moving in those very places.

And China is still expressed, experiencing extraordinary growth. And God

is working in India. The church in India is larger

than it has ever been in the whole of history. Hey,

so God is working. God is moving by his spirit.

God is doing extraordinary things in extraordinary ways. We've got

some students here this morning. Let me encourage you. God

is moving amongst the student population. Last year in February

or at the end of January in a small college,

small Christian College University in Asbury, a few students stayed

behind after their service to pray and wait upon God.

The service was over, the benediction that happened, and half

a dozen students began to cry out to God that

he would come, and he came, and the power of

God broke in upon that place. And God came with

his presence and his power, and the rest of the

college was impacted, and students began to gather from There

were only a thousand students in the college, and they

into the auditorium, the main one, which held six hundred

and fifty people, and within a short time it was

jammed packed with students crying out to God, and the

Holy Spirit fell upon them, and kids were having radical

transforming experiences and encounters with God. And it broke out

all over the place until people from all around the

world were gathering. And a friend of mine called rich

Wilson actually went and was part of it. He knew

the leaders of it, and he came into the middle

of this thing. He said, it was the most extraordinary

thing he'd ever seen in the church. The police had

put up signs half a mile out from the town,

the small town of Asbury, saying revival for no car

parking space because people couldn't get into the town they

were and people the move of God was so power

that people watching on the screens outside waiting to get

in the gatherings. We're having these transforming encounters with the

power of the Holy Spirit. Hey, and it didn't stop there.

All around the world we're hearing stories of student communities

being impacted by the presence of God. You're in the

right place, girls, Yeah, you're in the right place because

God is coming by his spirit and moving powerfully in

the world in which we live, and we need to

be aware of that and respond to what God is doing.

It's great to hear that you moved out to accommodate

that because you believe God is going to work in

that way for you. Guys, we need to be aware

of what's happening in the world in terms of mental health.

I don't need to go through the statistics with you,

but just to say it is absolutely phenomenal what is happening.

I watched the news just about a year ago on

BBC News and they declared that three hundred thousand people

had not returned to work following COVID with mental health issues.

Three hundred thousand. The next week, there was an article

on the news BBC News that one hundred thousand eleven

to eighteen eleven to eighteen year olds had not returned

to school due to anxiety and fear. When I spoke

about that in the Midlands, the Director of Education for

the West Midlands was in the meeting. He came to me.

He said, it's not just one hundred thousand, he said,

it's a phenomenal number of eleven to eighteen year olds

whose mental health has been absolutely devastated by the COVID experience,

and fear and anxiety and depression is rampant amongst our teenagers.

We're living in a world where people, you know, people

in your street, your neighbors, are struggling with mental health issues.

It's a massive, massive problem. And I could speak for

ages about that, but I don't want to accept. To

say this that I believe God's heart is moved by

people who are in need, and I believe that God

sees the need of the people in our nation, and

I believe the cry of the people is being heard

in heaven. You know. In the Old Testament, in Exodus

chapter two, it talks about the children of Israel, and

it says this in Exodus two twenty three, the Israelites

were still groaning under their slavery, and they cried out

for help. Their cry went up to God, who heard

their groaning. He saw the bondage of the Israelites and

was concerned for them. God heard their groaning. I believe

God hears the groaning of people who are struggling and

suffering with anxiety and fear and depression in our day,

in our country, in our streets, in our towns. I

believe that when Jesus spoke in Matthew nine, as he

looked across the multitude, and his heart was moved with

compassion because he saw they were tired and scattered like

sheep without a shepherd. I believe that Jesus' heart is

still the same in heaven, and he sees people who

are struggling and suffering, and his heart is moved with compassion.

And I believe we as the Church are the people

with the answer to Thank God for every organization for

national health, for every medication and help that is available.

But actually it's an encounter, a transforming encounter with Jesus

that's going to make the difference we need to wake up.

We need to wake up. I believe God hears the

cry of people's hearts. I've been reading a lot about

the move of the Spirit one hundred years ago, the

Pentecostal move of the Spirit. In the twenties and early thirties,

there was a phenomenal move amongst the working class of

our country. It didn't touch the established church and the

middle classes. It was a working class movement. The twenties

were very difficult years. There was massive unemployment, there was

no national health Any medical treatment you needed you had

to pay for, and people had no money. The homelessness,

homelessness was rife. There were major social problems. Alcoholism was rampant,

and people were living in dreadful poor conditions. And the

twenties and Notorious you read their history, our social history

of this country, and you'll read that in the twenties

there were massive, massive problems. I believe God heard the

cry of people in those days and he raised up

healing evangelists and George and Steven Jeffreys and Smith Wigglesworth

were rampant in this country and held massive crusades in

working class areas all around London. I visit barking regularly

and embarking. In nineteen twenty four, there was an extraordinary

move of the Holy Spirit, and there hundreds and thousands

of people came to Christ. Incredible miracles took place because

God heard the cry of the people. And I believe

God is hearing the cry of people with mental health

problems and anxiety and fear and depression, and He's raising

up people and ministries and Julia to minister to people

with those needs because he hears the cry of those people,

as he did in the nineteen twenties. And God moved

and worked, and extraordinary things happened. I mean miracles of

the most extraordinary order. My favorite miracle is the miracle

of a young nine year old girl who had no

eyes at all, just eye sockets, and hands were laid

on her and she was prayed for by George Jeffreys,

and instantly beautiful blue eyes appeared in those eye sockets. Haha,

What a wonderful, glorious God. How great is how God? Yeah?

How great he is? Yeah? And he hears the cry

of suffering people as he did in the Old Testament,

as Jesus responded to the needs in the New He's

the same God. He hasn't changed, and his heart is

moved with compassion and a generation of people who are struggling,

of young people struggling with mental health issues, of old

people struggling, of single parents, struggling of the knee of

the hour, and we need to be aware of that.

We need to wake up to that and respond. And

the second thing, because I could talk about waking up

for ages, because I believe it's really important that we

are challenged by what's happening and wake up to what's

going on around us. God save us from becoming like

that church in Russia. We're discussing about what color shirt

to wear when there's a world out there that needs,

desperately needs to know Jesus and he's transforming power. But

we don't just need to wake up. We need to

look up. Because the problem with waking up. When you

become aware of the needs, you can go down the tubes,

as we say, you can actually give up. You can say, well,

what can we do about it? You know the government

and can't do anything about it. Whichever crowd are in,

So what can we hope to achieve? We can only

reach this one or that one. Well, actually, the answer

is that having woken up, we then need to look

up because we can't do this. We can't solve this.

We can't resolve this. Only God can, and so we

need to look up. And we're encouraged to do that

in both the Old and the New Testament. In PS

one and the Psalmist says this, I will lift up

my eyes to the hills. Where shall my help come from? Hah?

He asked the question, where does my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord. Ha ha. That's where

our help comes from. Who made heaven and earth. That's

where our help comes from. We don't give up, we

don't go down the tubes, we don't lay down and die,

we don't come under some heavy depression because we have

a hope that in heaven there is a God who

can move powerfully into any situation and change it and

transform it, as he is doing today, as he has

always done in the past. When we were encouraged to

worship and seeing how great is our God, I was

reminded of occasions when ire In and I of experience

God's help in hopeless situations. I could keep you for

a few hours if you like, telling you stories of

where there was no way out, there was no possibility

of change, but God stepped in. I mean God even

gave a guy a dream one time to come and

help us because we're in a mess and we couldn't

get out on our own. And God sent somebody via

a dream. I mean, he is incredible and nothing is

impossible with him. Nothing is impossible, not anything is impossible

with him, and so we need to look up. In fact,

Jesus told us to look up when these things were

happening in Luke twenty one, where he says about the

time when wars and rumors of wars and famines and

all this stuff was happening. What did Jesus say, go

into a flat spin and go into depression and shut

your door and hope it's all going to go away.

No he didn't. He said, when you see these things,

be happy, begin to happen Luke twenty one, twenty eight.

Then look up, haha, look up and lift up your heads.

For your redemption draws near. Now I know that's talking

about the Second Coming, but I want to tell you

I believe with all my we need to look up

for our redemption draws near, and that may come in

the form of a significant revival, a significant move of

the Holy Spirit. God changes nations. I don't have forgot

any Ugandans here, anybody from Uganda here. Yeah, oh wow, wonderful.

Uganda as a nation was stripped of everything in nineteen

eighty five. He was in an absolute mess. The infrastructure

was broken down. One in four people had been infected

with AIDS as a result of idio means hideous. Ten

years of dictatorship and then five years of civil war

had left the nation absolutely on its knees. And in

nineteen eighty five a move of the Holy Spirit started

and the nation began to be trans formed. And now

there are massive churches all throughout the land. Extraordinary miracles

have been happening for the last thirty five years. God

has been working and their economy has grown. They've still

got a way to go, but it's one of the

fastest growing economies in Africa. The AIDS statistics are one

of the only countries where it's going down because people

are living in monogamous monogamous relationships, and so the statistics

are changing because God has broken in to that nation.

And God can do that anywhere in any place, at

any time. I believe God is going to do it.

I believe God is going to come. I believe God

is going to move. Take you back to that chapter

in Joshua three. You know, he woke up Joshua to

what was happening, and then God says to him, look up.

In in Joshua three, verse five, God says to Joshua,

sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, the Lord will do wonders among you.

Get yourself ready because God's coming. Right at the beginning

of the service, Dave was rushing here and there and

blacking out windows and making sure everything was all all right.

But he did just get a few seconds with me,

and he said, he said, God said to us, at

the end of last year is going to send us

a tsunami of souls. Do you believe that? Yeah? Get

yourselves ready, Yeah, look up, get ready, because tomorrow, tomorrow,

God is going to do wonders among you. It's a

new day, it's a new season. We need a new word,

We need to do things in a new way. You know.

One of the things God says to Joshua in those

early verses in Joshua three is this, you have not

passed this way before. Yeah, you've not passed this way before.

You're going to do things. You're going to be involved

in things that, yeah, there it is, well verse four

of Joshua three. I knew it was there. You've not

passed this way before. God's doing new things in new ways.

What I love about that story is that they went

they were going to march towards the Jordan and to

get into the Promised Land. And God said, you know,

you've not passed this way before. It's a new day,

new word, new things. And because some of the people

would have been around, who remember Moses opening the Red Sea,

And I can imagine some of the old fogies like me,

you know, been around for years, coming up to Joshua

the young man or the younger man and say to him, now, listen, Joshua,

we saw Moses do it. This is what you do.

You take the staff and you hold it out over

the Red Sea and you say, just like Charlton Heston

did in the film, you say, you say, stand still

and see the salvation of God and it will open.

And God says, no, that's not it's a new day,

it's a new word. It's a different miracle. So God

said Tom Joshua, what I want you to do is

get the priest to pick up the ark and walk

towards the red Sea. And I can imagine the old

fogs saying, won't work. You know, that's not how you

do it. That's not how God did it yesterday. That's

because God's always doing a new thing, something different, something fresh.

That's why we need to be open to God doing

something new and fresh and different for us in this day,

in this generation. We've not passed this way before. We're

going to have to adjust to meet the needs of people.

I want to tell you that a lot of these

folks are struggling with anxiety and fear. Can't set through

forty five minutes of worship and forty five minutes of

some old guy out the front spout in his mouth.

They can't do it. We're going to reach them. We've

got to find is that right, Julia. We've got to

find new ways of communicating, of connecting. The Gospel doesn't change,

Worship doesn't change in terms of the importance of all

of these things. But it's a new season, a new day.

God's going to do something new and fresh. We must

be people willing to change. I believe we have a really,

a really wonderful opportunity to be part of what God

is going to do. I'm convinced he's going to move.

I love that you've got ready for I love that

you didn't stay where you were and said, hey, we

can stay here and wait till it happens and then

we'll do it. But you actually took a risk and

took a step of faith and an action of faith.

And here you are preparing yourself because why because you're

convinced that what God says is going to come to pass. Yeah.

There might be a few saying, oh, you know, we

really loved it in the earth. It was so nice

and cozy and all of that, and we live with

all of that, but we understand the importance of moving

forward and believe in God for a fresh new movement

of the Holy Spirit. Oh. I could say a lot more,

but I don't want to. What I want to do

is I want to bring up Isaiah sixty one, verse

one to five. It's there on the overheads. Can you

flip through to the last one? Yeah, okay, well that

was quick, well done. Yeah, these are the words of Jesus,

and I believe, you know, you say, what should we do, Well,

this is what we should do. This is what God's

calling us to. This is why God has moved you here,

so that you can fill this place with people. Huh.

He's moved you here because He has a heart for

those who are struggling and suffering, for those who have

fear and anxiety and are struggling to survive. He has

a heart for people who are going through all kinds

of problems with depression and other issues. For people who

are struggling to pay their bills, for people who are

struggling in relationships, and people who are struggling with issues

of sexuality, for people who are struggling just to get

up in the morning. God has anointed us with the

message of truth. The spirit of the Lord God is

upon me. What for to have great meetings, to have

fabulous worship. Well, the secondary issues, and they're the blessings

that come to us. But this is the reason for

the anointing. The Lord has anointed me to preach good

news to the poor, good news to the poor, to

who the poor. He's sent me to heal the brokenhearted.

We're living in a nation have broken a world of

broken hearted people. You can't watch your television news seeing

people who have lost fathers and mothers and children without

being moved. They're broken hearted people. Jesus come to heal

broken hearted people, whether they're Arabs or Jews, or Iranians

or white British people. He's come to heal the broken hearted.

Has come to proclaim liberty to captives, addicts and people

who are captive in slavery of different kinds. Has come

to open the prison of those who are bound, and

next to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, the

day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn.

Every one of those statements about the purpose of the

Holy Spirit has to do with meeting the needs of people.

Heal the brokenhearted, set the captive free, comfort those who mourn,

preach the Gospel to the poor. The purpose us of God,

filling us with the Holy Spirit, is for people's lives

to be radically transformed by the power of the Living God.

That's what you're here for. Are you still running me

Christian fellowship? Yeah, running me Christian fellowship. God is adding

to you, growing you a students at the university. You

are there to do a degree and I want you

to study really hard. But God's purpose for you is

much bigger than that. The spirit of the Lord is

upon you because there's a whole generation of students who

are lost and broken and wounded and struggling with fear

and anxiety. This move of the spirit in Asbury, three

months after it happened, they did an evaluation of the

effect of this move of the spirit. Before it happened,

in any one month, around forty or over forty percent

of the students would go for counseling, mainly for anxiety

and fear. Over forty percent of the students. Three months

after the move of the spirit, they did an evaluation

and they found only two percent two percent of the

students were going for counseling. Why is that world Because Jesus,

Jesus heals the broken hearted, Jesus releases the captive. Jesus

comforts those whom on. Jesus releases us from anxiety and

fear and depression. Ha, Jesus does it. The Spirit comes

upon us and through us, through you girls other students here,

and through you in your workplace and in your street

where you live. God wants to anoint you to bring

this message of good news that Jesus makes people hole

and sets people free, and I prophesy over you. If

you'll respond, wake up, look up, get up, Rise up,

get active. Not just come to meetings on Sunday to

discuss whether you like this song or that song, or

what vest you should wear, or whether you like this

one leading worship or that one leading worship, or whether

the preacher goes on too long or not. Most weeks

we do, but actually get serious, get serious about seeing

this anointing released into a world that is struggling and broken.

I believe God will fulfill every prophetic purpose that He

has for you Running Meat Christian Fellowship. I look around

and I see all the faces. I see some really

black faces, dark skin. I see some brown skin. I

see some lighter skin. I even see some Chinesey skin somewhere.

And I see God bringing the nations to Running Meat

Christian Fellowship. Why, because through you He wants to touch

the world. I see many people from different nations watching

today through the through the camera. Yeah, what do you

call it? Come? Yeah, that's right, the live stream. Yeah.

And I see God wanted to touch and bless and

reach the world through this ministry. Father in the name

of Jesus, call on your name today. I pray for

a new, fresh, dynamic, increasing anointing of your wonderful Holy Spirit.

I pray you will come with new dynamic sense of

your presence upon your people, to release through them your

purpose in this day. Help us to wake up and

see the need all around us, see the people who

are struggling all around us. Pray that we will look

up and understand that in our own strength, out of

our own resources, we can't do this but to rise

up under the anointing of the Holy Spirit and in

your name, to lay hands on the sick and see

them recover in your name, to speak deliverance and freedom

to the captives, in your name, to bring your word,

to bring release to fear and anxiety and depression, and

to see your glory released in our day, in our generation,

in our nation, in the nations represented in this gathering,

and across the live stream. In the name of Jesus.

In the name of Jesus, please come to us, Lord,

we really do want to wake up and not be

irrelevant in our day and generation. Pray for the leadership

of this church. Pray for every person in this gathering.

Pray for the students in this place, Lord, that together

we might rise up to fulfill your purpose for us

and through us, in this day, in this generation, in

Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Books at the back if you want,

and if you would like prayer because you're struggling with

anxiety or fear
