Fast for Prayer in the Square - Day 1 — Carter Conlon

Bless the Lord. Beloved, tonight we don't have a program for Wednesday or Thursday night either. Every day, the leadership, we're just simply seeking God and saying, Holy Spirit guide us as to how you want us to pray and to what you want us to do.

And this morning in the time of prayer, the Lord spoke to our hearts, and I believe I have a pattern. We have a pattern for what the Lord wants to do tonight. This is very different in a sense than anything we've done before, but I'm going to preach a message.

It's called bringing revelation to reality. And in this message, we're going to stop at intervals and pray about four times through this message. And there are elders that are going to come and lead us in prayer.

You'll be asked to stand to your feet, and we'll go to pray about these specific things. Now, the theme of this fast and the time that the Lord has brought us into is, Lord, forgive us. Now, that doesn't necessarily mean that you personally have done anything wrong, but we're gathering together to pray for the corporate testimony of Jesus Christ in this entire country, in the United States of America in particular.

And I know for those listening on the internet, it applies to other countries as well. Remember when the children of Israel were in captivity, and the prophet Daniel began to pray, he included himself, even though he had not been there really for years and been part of it, but he included himself as part of the problem as well as part of the solution.

And he said, Lord, we have sinned against you, and we have done this. And we are just simply agreeing sometimes on behalf of those who don't yet even know that they need to turn from a particular practice or perspective of God that they've gone astray.

So we are coming as the body of Christ to the throne of God. Now, remember these things. First of all, if you are a Christian, you are clean. You are accepted as the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

To have your heart and my heart searched by the Holy Spirit is never to condemn you. God does not condemn his own children. He will come because there's something in us, or you or me, that we don't see, but God already knows.

He already knows it's there. It's no secret to him. He's not going to slap his forehead tonight and say, my goodness, I didn't know that person was like that. He knows what's in us. He knows where we've gone three degrees or 30 degrees to the left or to the right in some aspect of our character.

He knows that. We might not know it. And for some, it can become a fearful thing to have the Holy Spirit search our hearts because we live under such condemnation as it is in such a hard world that the last thing we want is to come into the house of God and find another flaw in us because we're so aware of our flaws.

But remember that God does it for good and not for evil. He does it to take us from a place where we are into a much nicer place, a more powerful place, a place where there's more of his life. So if you and I can see that, if we can understand, it's like if you had a two-year-old that went under the sink and took out the Clorox and was about to drink it.

And you came to your child and said, no, that's not very good. Let me take that from you. Let me give you a glass of orange juice. You might enjoy that a whole lot more. Now, the child might whine and cry and think he's really being deprived of something.

But as a parent, you have more knowledge. You understand that what you're giving him is a whole lot better for his body, his well-being than what he's got in his hand. And that's what God does with his church.

So you don't have to be afraid of this kind of a message tonight. You can say, God, please, if there's anything in me that's hindering your life, if you're an honest Christian tonight, well, if you're a dishonest Christian, you have every reason to be afraid.

But if you're an honest Christian, then you don't want to walk in dishonesty. And you say, God, please, if there's something there stopping your life, then I'm willing to have you show it to me. I'm willing to bring it to you.

I'm willing to be forgiven, and I'm willing to be cleansed. Now, realistically, it's not even held against you if you're an honest Christian. You are received as the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

So please, I know it's a long preamble, but I don't want anybody in here walking out with your head down, your hands heavy. This is a good day. This is a wonderful day. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord.

Matthew chapter 17, please, in the New Testament. Matthew chapter 17, bringing revelation to reality. Now, Father, I thank you for the anointing of the Holy Spirit. I pray, God, keep me into the parameters of what you want to speak.

Don't let me go to the left or to the right of it. I only stand as a vessel in your hand, and I'm asking that you speak through this vessel. I'm asking, God, that the desires of your heart, Jesus, be satisfied tonight, that what you intended to accomplish be accomplished.

Lord, I thank you for this anointing. I thank you, God, that you give an understanding of the scriptures, and you give us the ability, Lord, to know that you've called us together as a body for what could be one of the most momentous times in our history.

Oh, Jesus, God Almighty, I believe you intend on bringing revival to this city for a season, Lord. In your mercy, Lord, God, before we are judged, that you'll bring a wave of your glory and your mercy, Father.

Help us to understand, Lord, that you're calling us as your people into agreement with your heart. I thank you for it in Jesus' name. Bringing Revelation to Reality, Matthew chapter 17, beginning at verse 1.

After six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John, his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart, and was transfigured before them, and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

And behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with them. Then answered Peter and said to Jesus, Lord, it's good for us to be here. If thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles, one for thee, one for Moses, and one for Elijah, Elias.

And while yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear ye him. When the disciples heard it, they fell on their face and were sore afraid.

And Jesus came and touched them and said, Arise and be not afraid. And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only. And just the first half of verse 9, and they came down from the mountain.

Verse 14,. And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man kneeling down to him, saying, Lord, have mercy on my son, for he's a lunatic, and sore vexed, and oft times he falls into the fire, and oft into the water.

And I brought him to the disciples, and they could not cure him. Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him hither to me.

And Jesus rebuked the devil, and he departed out of him, and the child was cured from that very hour. Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? And Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief, for verily I say unto you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible to you.

Howbeit, this kind goeth not out, but by prayer and fasting. It's an incredible passage of Scripture, really, when you look at it. Peter, James, and John are taken up into a mountain, and in that mountain, they're given a revelation that nobody, I suppose, except for Adam, had ever had since the creation of man.

They are seeing God in the flesh, in this body of a man called Jesus Christ, literally transformed into the image of God before them. And they're becoming aware he is not only fully man, he is also fully God.

Moses and Elijah, both whom they knew to be dead, but now they begin to be very well aware are alive, are standing with him, representing the Law and the Prophets. And everything the Law and the Prophets spoke about was fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

They're speaking about the death that he's about to accomplish at Jerusalem. They're now being given revelation of the cross, of the heart of God that was in God before even the world was established, before it was even founded.

It was in God's heart to come and redeem his own creation. They're standing in this place of revelation. They're seeing this glory. They're seeing the power. They know he can raise the dead, because the dead are standing before them.

It's amazing revelation that they're being given. Peter is so enamored by it, he wants to build a tent and stay there forever. He wants to live there. He wants to live on the mountaintop as it is of revelation.

They're getting revelation, folks, that comes to few in their lifetime. They're seeing these things, this incredible power of God resident, the purposes of God, that all the Law and all the Prophets are fulfilled in this man.

And his name is the name above every name. They have to know this by this point. Then they come down from the mountain. And when they come down from the mountain, the other disciples are gathered around and there's a man who's come.

And he said, please, can you help me? I have a son. And another translation says, another one of the Gospels says, he has a dumb spirit, which means he's driven. He's driven into the fires as it is uncontrolled passion.

He's driven into the waters of confusion. And he can't speak. He doesn't know why. And nobody can give an answer. He doesn't know why he's doing what he's doing. And we can't stop him from doing it. But can you help?

You've been with this man called Jesus Christ, and you have to have a knowledge of who he is and what he can do. Can you help my son? And the disciples standing around couldn't do anything. And it's a type of, I suppose, where we're living today.

We're living in the church age where there's so much knowledge about, with more teaching about Jesus Christ, about, we have tapes, we have ministries, you can turn on a radio, you can open a Bible. Some people have dozens in their home.

You can get one at almost every corner of the city. You can open and read and the knowledge is there. And people can quote scriptures to one another. We can memorize and study and hear the message of Christ and even have great revelation, but end up powerless to touch our generation.

I feel the story is the type of what's in God's heart as he looks down on the church of our time. Now I'm talking collectively of the whole testimony of God in Christ that's in his church. And he looks down and we have a generation, folks.

Is there any doubt in your mind that what's being described here is happening in our time? Young people being led into incredible passions. We're living in a, I hate to even look at any of the webpage of our modern news agencies because of all of the debauchery, all of the immorality that's now becoming almost normal.

People led into the fires of passion. People led into the various waters of logical and spiritual confusion constantly. And I can hear the cry. It's a fading cry now because there's not much confidence left in the church.

I don't know if you knew that or not, but society as a whole doesn't have a lot of confidence. Every time they turn on the television or any kind of the internet, they see some smiley face person saying, look, if you just play your cards right, you can be like me.

Yet their sons and daughters are being driven into deeper darkness constantly. And I don't know if you hear it, but I hear a cry. I hear something in my spirit. There's so many widows out there. So many young mothers, so many people saying, God, please, can somebody help my children?

Can somebody help me? Can somebody help my family? And here are the disciples and they can't do anything. And you can see they're, they're praying the prayers that they think they should pray. And they're doing the religious things they think they should do.

They're doing it in Jesus name, but nothing is happening. This kid is exactly the way he's always been. And Jesus comes down and this man finally, so fed up with trying to get some results from his own disciples falls now at the feet of Jesus himself and says, God Almighty have mercy on me.

And Jesus answered and said, Oh, faithless and perverse generation. How long shall I be with you? And how long shall I suffer you? Oh, faithless. I don't think he's necessarily talking to this man. Now this man, these are the children of Israel.

This is the heritage of God. And this kind of captivity should not be there, but it's, it's something beyond just this man and his condition of his son. I think he's thinking about the condition of his own disciples that have been walking with him.

They've been, they know his miracle power folks. If you've been walking with God any amount of time now, you have to know his miracle power. Why are you even in your right mind tonight? Why were you, where did you get the power to walk away from former bondages?

If you're an honest Christian, you have walked away. You have the memory of past hurts, but they're not dragging you through the streets any longer. They're not wounding you. You're, you, you have a sense of hope and purpose in your life.

You're moving forward. And God, you do know the miracle power of God. You are aware of who you are in Jesus Christ. But he said, Oh, faithless and perverse generation. And the word perverse really in the, in the Greek means it's, it's, it's a corrupted image.

It's something that is turned away. It's something that is distorting the image of God. And he says, you have, you've lost faith and you've distorted my image. And folks, if ever, ever that speaks of where we're at today.

A lot of what calls itself Christianity, I suppose it's a distorted image of God. It's distorted. It's these folks that are standing and they're absolute thieves, many of them standing in pulpits. And it's, it must be heartbreaking to God to see the masses that have been deceived by their rhetoric and robbed of everything.

Does it much, not so much that they're robbed of finances. God can replace that, but they're robbed of the image of God. They're robbed of where the power of God really lies. And the disciples say, why, why couldn't we cast him out?

Why? Why? Why? After all this time, we believe in Jesus. We believe in your name. We believe we've seen you feed multitudes. We've actually been in a boat and watched you calm the sea. We know what you can do.

We were, we were called out of our place that we used to be. We're called into another place. We, we, we believe, but why couldn't we cast him out? And this is a question that I think you and I, if we're going to stand in this generation and we're going to make a difference, we have to ask this question.

Lord, what, what, what's hindering me? And that's really what they're saying. God, what's hindering us? Now there are several, there are four things I want to talk about tonight that I see in the scriptures.

Number one, ambition and pride. Now they've just flopped in chapter 17. They have absolutely flopped. They've been called faithless and perverse, but they're not getting it. Chapter 18, verse one, at the same, at the same time came the disciples to Jesus saying, who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

Now you could, you could rightly blame the disciples at the bottom of the mountain and say, well, listen, they weren't with Jesus. They, they didn't, they didn't see the transfiguration. Peter, James, and John were there, but the other, the other disciples weren't there.

But you notice that Peter, James, and John are not jumping into doing anything for this kid at the bottom of the mountain in spite of the revelation, in spite of the fact that they were called closer than others.

They all seem to be in the same boat. They all seem to have fallen short of what the glory of God should be coming through their lives. But you see a clue to it in chapter 18, who is the greatest? See, they're all focused on their own greatness still.

Everyone is in this in measure for some kind of a reputation, for some kind of influence, some kind of authority. So they could get their name etched on a cornerstone of a decaying building somewhere.

So they might be written in a history book. So what, what really does it matter in all of this? You know, later on, remember James and John put their mother, I think they did put their mother up to kind of budding up to Jesus and say, Hey, can you do me a favor?

Can my son sit on your left and on your right and in your kingdom? It was in them. And folks, I, I suggest you in this generation, I suggest you strongly that ambition is in the ministry and pride is in the ministry all over this country.

And it's, it's, it's driven a lot of pastors off into some kind of a spiritual space somewhere. So far from anything that represents Christ, such a corrupted image of God standing because of pride and ambition.

I got a letter this morning. I don't want to read it because it would implicate some people, but I can generalize it. A pastor wrote to me. It was just in a conference in a major city, in a stadium of all places, pastors gathered from all over that major city.

And all of the speakers in that conference, not one, a Bible believing Christian, not one. And he said, and it was all about success. And it's all these success and motivational speakers, not one Christian man in that pulpit teaching the pastors of denominations, hundreds, probably in that meeting being taught by unsaved men.

And this one pastor said, my heart was beating. My heart was breaking. I was saying in my heart, my God, does anybody see what I see? Does anybody understand what I understand where we've gone, what we've become?

Because the ministry is driven by the lust for success as they see it. And success is the ministry sees it as a big house, a big car, a big name, a big ministry and a big reputation. But I want to suggest to you success in ministry is standing before the demon oppressed of this generation.

And with the name of Jesus Christ, taking authority over every power of hell and seeing them released from the power of darkness. Let my name be forgotten. Let the name of Christ be honored in memory and be in people's memory forever.

We need to ask the Lord's forgiveness tonight for the ambition and pride that has gotten into his house. Now it might not be your problem, but it is a problem. And if you can identify with it, if we can stand and say, God, please, God, please forgive your house.

Forgive your ministers, God almighty for the ambition and the pride that has gotten into the ministry. And it's so infecting the body of Christ that people have a completely distorted image of God. And because of it, there's no faith in the heart anymore because the work of God is not really the end result of why people are even gathering around what they believe to be the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Would you stand, please? Elder David, would you come lead us in prayer? Folks, your voice counts. You've got to come to before the throne of God with this and ask the Lord to forgive us for the ambition and for the pride.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

Father, we come before you. Thanking you, Jesus. Thanking you, Jesus, for opening up the word to our hearts, dear God, this evening. God, thank you for preparing our hearts, dear God, to receive what you would speak to your church this age.

God, thank you. Thank you, Jesus, so much for your love and your mercy. God, that draws us, dear God, to repentance. Your goodness draws us to repentance, God. This is not part of a program. We're not repenting, dear God, because it's part of a list of a liturgical, dear God, sequence in our service, dear God.

We repent, dear God, because your arms are open wide, because your heart is so stretched to us, dear God, because we see your holiness and your greatness. We see your heart, dear God, for the nations, and we see how far we've fallen, dear God, from your grace.

We repent as a church age, oh God, Father, for misrepresenting you, oh God, and facing this generation without power, without an anointing, oh God, without Holy Ghost backbone, oh God, to face the young people who throw themselves into the fires of passion, oh God, because there's a passion raging within our hearts, a passion of ambition, a passion of pride, oh God, to be seen, to be exalted before men, to be acknowledged before men.

Forgive us, oh God. Forgive us, oh God. Jesus, forgive us, oh God. God, I see a people, a disciple coming down from the mountains thinking they're all that because you called them up to the high place, oh God, and I see disciples in the valley desiring, dear God, lusting for that position to be drawn into the mountain, oh God, forgetting that you shed your blood for each and every one of us, that your love is the greatest treasure we can ever embrace, oh God.

Forgive us, Jesus. Bring us back to that place of acknowledging who we are in Christ Jesus, that we are your beloved, oh God, that we don't need to seek any other treasure but your presence, oh God. Cast us not away from your presence, oh God.

We come before you, Jesus, asking that you cast us not away from your presence. Draw us back into the secret place. Draw us back into the shelter of the Almighty, where you satisfy the longing of our soul, where you embrace us, oh God, and that's sufficient.

God, whether we have position, whether our church is bigger than any other, it's not about that, dear God. It's about being in Christ Jesus. Oh God, forgive us. Forgive us, dear God. One church looking to be bigger than the other, congregations seeking just to build themselves in numbers.

God, instead of seeking your presence, God, we return back to you this hour. We come back to you, Jesus. We come back to your presence, oh God, your presence, where you could share your heart with us, where you could melt our hearts in your presence, oh God, for this lost and dying world, for the young people, for the older folk, for our neighbors, for our lost loved ones, dear God, for our co-workers, oh God.

We come back to that place where you would melt our heart, where you would just share your compassion with us, oh God, and let your cup overflow, dear God, within our hearts. Dear God, let your presence overflow within our hearts.

Let us not be able to contain, dear God, the joy of the Lord, which is our strength. God, cause our cup to runneth over, God. Cause everyone around us to feel and to be drawn to your presence, oh God, because of what you've done in our life, because of our satisfaction in you, our contentment to be in you, Jesus.

We thank you for forgiveness in your presence. Thank you, God. Thank you, God. Thank you, God, for what you're doing. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. Father, we pray for fruit in your kingdom, fruit in your church.

God, you said this is the church that you are building. God, you are building your church. God, it's not up to us to build your church, dear God. It's not up to plans of man, and schemes of man, and strategies of man.

You are the God who will build your church, oh God. We thank you, dear God, that there's going to be fruit in the body of Christ Jesus, where one congregation that never spoke to another will embrace, dear God, one another once again, and begin to cry out to you in one accord, dear God, for the lost, and for this dying generation.

God, we thank you for this, dear God. We yield our life now to prayer and fasting, to surrendering our life to you, to yielding our hearts, and saying, God, shine the light upon our hearts. Expose the darkness, dear God.

Expose whatever needs to be exposed. Cleanse us, wash us, empower us once again, that your glory would be known to this generation. Is there not a cause, we say, like David, is there not a cause, that your name would be glorified, that they would see the giants come down.

God, bring down the giants in our own heart, and we give you the glory. We give you the honor, because it belongs to you, in Jesus' name. Thank you, God. Thank you, David.

Praise God. Thank you. Thank you. You may be seated. The second reason why they had a difficult time, if not an impossible time, making a difference is because of unbelief. In Matthew chapter 17 and verse 20, Jesus said to them, because of your unbelief, for verily I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible to you.

Unbelief. Unbelief. Is it possible that unbelief comes into the heart? Because as Amos says in Amos chapter 3 and verse 3, how can two walk together except they be agreed? Is it possible that unbelief comes because our thoughts are not the same as God's?

Our motives are not quite as clean sometimes as we think they are. Because of it, there's a lack of faith in the heart. Is it possible also that unbelief is in the heart because people win sometimes so little personal victory that how can they even start to believe for somebody else?

Because they're still fighting so many battles. I want to suggest to you that it would be wise for you and I to start believing God now. At some point, revelation has to translate into reality. We can come to the house of the Lord and agree that God will provide and we can all go, amen.

We don't clap our hands. But does that revelation, has it translated into reality in your life? Do you really believe that God will provide or is it just revelation? Because if it's just revelation and it's not reality, then how do you tell your neighbor what you don't really believe yourself?

How do you stand in the hallway with a neighbor who's wondering how he or she's going to get through these coming days if you really don't believe that God is going to provide for you? You might say the words, they stood there and said, in Jesus' name, come out, but nothing happens because there's unbelief in the heart that what God said he will do, he really will do.

And I think it's wise for us to deal with this. I think we should be as the once man who came and was looking for freedom for his own child and he said, Lord, I believe, help my unbelief. I believe as much as I know how.

God, take me deeper. Take me farther. God, give me the grace to go against my own enemies. God, I need, David could not face the giant until he faced the battles that were his own in secret places. I think it's time to start taking ground in our own hearts, our own homes, our own lives, our own minds.

I think it's time to start believing God for one foot in front of the other in some areas where we have been paralyzed spiritually for years on end. It's time to win those victories. And when you start winning those secret victories, those ones that nobody else but you and God knows about, then all of a sudden authority comes into your heart.

Something comes into your mind. You begin to see God. I'm not required to know the whole Bible. I'm required to have faith as a grain of mustard seed. I'm required simply to believe what you've already shown me.

And if you've done it for me, God, you can do it for somebody else. Is that not the gospel? Is that not the message of Christ? What God did for me, he'll do it for you. When I stand and say, God has delivered me from fear, he delivered me from nine years of living in a hellish fear.

If he did it for me, I believe he'll do it for you. I believe it with all my heart. But if I was still taking Valium on the side, and I'm not against if you have medication because you need it for some chemical condition, I'm not against those.

So please don't misunderstand what I'm saying. But if I'm still taking something on the side, where's my authority then to tell you God will set you free? No, I got to win the battles in secret. I want to pray tonight that you and I have the courage to go into those secret battles that will never be public, but God knows it and win the fight there.

Win the fight in the closet of prayer. Win that secret battle. Win that battle. Start walking in the power of God and watch faith like a grain of mustard seed come into your heart. And suddenly you're standing against what used to be a mountain.

And now you realize, hey, this thing has no authority. This thing has no power. God is on the throne. God's word is in my heart. What God said he will do, he will do. Praise be to God. Brother Chooks, come pray with us, please, if you will.

Would you stand? Let's pray that God give us the power to stand in our secret battles and deliver us from unbelief.

Our Heavenly Father, we're so grateful that you've called us to come and worship you. But Father, we cannot worship you the way you will want us to worship you if we do not stand to ask you, oh God, search our hearts.

Search our hearts, oh God. Remove everything, oh God, that's unlike you. Remove every act of unbelief that's in us. Remove everything that has crippled our faith as we look up onto your face, oh God. Oh Jesus Christ, you are powerful.

Father, we are not going to shout at you. We are not going to shout at you any moment, but we are asking that once again, that the mercy and your grace, which were extended, oh God, at the valley of that place, oh God, to touch the demon-possessed child, that once again you show us that mercy.

Show us that mercy, oh God. We are coming to you as a church age, oh God. Confessing of our sins of unbelief, depending too much of our strategy, depending too much on our own plans, oh God, depending too much on the things that we can do for ourselves, removing you entirely, and that we have allowed this to spill over onto the society, oh God, that the society has chosen to remove you, Jesus, and that we come, oh God, to accept the society's norms, oh God, as the way of life.

Oh Jesus, we are asking that once again, that you empower us. You empower us with your belief system. You empower us where we can stand and say to them, oh God, that what they are doing is wrong because of who we know you are, oh God.

Oh Jesus Christ, we call upon you, oh God. We call upon you tonight, oh God. We call upon you every moment of our lives, oh God, that you come with your might and your power, oh God, to dissolve everything, Jesus Christ, that stands against your testimony, oh God, because we've all witnessed every benefit of yours, oh God, coming into our lives, Jesus.

We thank you, mighty God, because we are here because of who you are. You are a merciful God. You are a merciful God, Jesus. You are a merciful God. You are a very kind God. You are a wonderful God. Father, transform us, oh Jesus.

Let us see your face, oh God, a glow in this assembly, oh God. Oh Jesus Christ, may we live here, Jesus, oh with your face, oh God, glowing upon our hearts, oh God, that we'll be able to say that our God is a good God, that he has changed us, and that he has power.

He has power. He has power to change anyone who comes unto him, oh God. Father, we repent. We repent, oh Jesus, for who you are, Jesus. We can never be who you want us to be, oh God, because we are too much into our own selves.

Father, I'm asking once again, once again to have mercy, once again to have mercy upon us, once again for us to see that the wars of yesterdays, oh God, have been fought and defeated by you, oh God. Father, you are the source of our victory, oh God.

Oh Jesus Christ, we thank you. We thank you for the belief that you will still in us this day, oh God, that we will leave this house this day, oh God, being empowered, oh God, by you, oh God. Oh Jesus, that we will see your light, oh God, shine once again in our hearts, oh God.

We will see your burning desire, oh God, as a way of life, oh God, because we love your name, oh God. Oh Jesus Christ, our experience with you is more than enough. Oh Jesus, you show this to us, oh God.

When Peter and John, oh God, met the man of the game called Believer, Jesus Christ, they said silver and gold, they have none, but all that they have is your name. With that belief established in your name, oh God, they said that the lame must walk, oh God.

Oh Jesus Christ, we are coming to you this night, oh God. With that belief that when we use your name, oh God, the blind must see, oh God. The deaf must hear, Jesus. Oh Jesus, the deaf must hear, oh God.

Oh, the oppressed must be set free, oh God. The demonic must be healed, oh God. Oh, the fatherless must find comfort in your house, Jesus, and they'll be shut of victory in your house, oh God, because you are our God of victory, Jesus.

We are not going to cower before the devil, oh God, because Jesus Christ is your power that is making the difference in our lives, oh God. Oh Jesus, come once again. Come once again and be glorified in your house.

Be glorified in your house, oh Jesus. Oh Jesus, we thank you. We thank you, oh God. We thank you for what you are about to do, because you've called us to fast and pray, oh God. You've called us to fast and pray.

Jesus Christ, the pastor did not come with this idea. It's your idea. Father, you have the blueprint. We have nothing but to follow you, oh God. Give us all that it takes, oh God, to stay, oh God, asking you to touch us, to touch us, oh God.

That when we stand, may we stand in your power, oh God. May we preach, may we preach with your power, oh God. May the gospel that we preach, oh God, carry the power, oh God, that brings healing, oh God, to the hearers, oh God.

Oh Jesus, I just want to thank you. Be glorified in this house tonight, oh God. Let everyone here this day experience the wonderful touch of Jesus Christ, because Jesus, you are a good God, and we proclaim blessing upon everyone here this night who wants to know who Jesus is, that your word, oh God, will be able to touch our hearts, oh God, and remove every other of unbelief, and set us free, oh God, from our yesterdays fears, oh God.
