”Father of Creation
Unfold Your Sovereign Plan
Raise up a chosen generation
that will march through the land
All of creation is longing for Your unveiling of Power
Would You release Your Anointing?
O God, let this be the hour!
Let Your Glory fall in this room
Let it go forth from here to the nations
Let Your fragrance rest in this place
As we gather to seek Your Face
Let Your Kingdom come
Let Your Will be done
Let us seek on earth
the Glory of Your Son
Ruler of the nations
The world has yet to see
the whole release of Your Promise
the church in Victory
Turn to us, Lord and touch us
Make us strong in Your Might
Overcome our weakness
That we could stand up and fight”
And the story must be told to this generation of Your Love, Your steadfast, faithful Love. You have come and You have laid it all out before us so that we might partake of Your Life. But, tell me, Lord, how can we bring Your Precious Presence in such a way that the people will know that they have been in the Presence of God, that they have touched the Ark of the Covenant?
I tire easily of the songs sung and the verses voiced and the lingo spoken within the churches which doesn’t lead to life, which doesn’t “taste” of Your Heavenly Kingdom. They are a substitute for You and a very poor one. What we need are pure hearts ready and open to receive a King. We need hearts poured out at the altar and aching to be filled with Your Resurrected Self. There is no substitute. There is no other King or Lord besides You. We desperately need You.
Strip our churches and our homes of all their gods, all that attempts to take Your Place. We must have You. Only You!
Let Your Glory fall and envelop us so that we may never be the same. CONSUME US, LORD JESUS! Bring death to all that rises to worship You that is not Spirit and Truth. Put to death the manner in which we seek You for blessing and fail to simply worship You, giving back to You all that is Your Loving, Sacrificial due. Bring upon us a death of all that will not worship You within us, for we long to Praise You in Resurrected form. Make this generation ALIVE unto You and filled with Holy Worship until every knee bows and every tongue blesses Your Name.
“An altar exists for only one thing.
Just ask that little lamb that was brought to the altar . . .
this is not a place of blessing; it is a place of death.
But if we can embrace that death, then perhaps,
we can see God’s Face.”
