  • Let us proclaim Thy Kingdom has come

    Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, 29 for our God is a consuming fire.

    –Hebrews 12:28-29

    O God, our King,

    Thank you for bringing the Kingdom of God into our hearts by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
    Thank You that Your Kingdom has come to us.

    We are being shaken today.
    Our personal kingdoms are being shaken today.
    The kingdoms of this world are being shaken today.

    We are grateful we have received Your Kingdom which cannot be shaken.
    It is right to give You thanks and praise, O King, that Your Kingdom has come to us.

    You tell us to encourage our brothers and sisters with the words of Your Kingdom which cannot be shaken.
    It is right to uphold one another with the reminders that Your Kingdom has come and it is unshakable.

    But

    let us not only speak to You of this Kingdom which cannot be shaken,
    let us not only speak to those who have already received this Kingdom which cannot be shaken.

    Freely we have received Your Kingdom, freely we are to give it.

    Therefore

    let us proclaim Thy Kingdom has come,
    let us proclaim Your Kingdom is unshakable.

    Souls who have not yet received Your Kingdom are being shaken today.
    Their personal kingdoms are being shaken today.
    The kingdoms of this world are being shaken today.

    And one Day You will shake all things and only Your Kingdom will remain.

    May we bring the good news of Your Kingdom which cannot be shaken to souls which are being shaken so they might stand firm in that Day of shaking, that Day of judgment.

    We have found grace in Your eyes...

    Do we watch souls drown as we sit dry in the ark of Jesus?
    Do we watch souls burn as we sit cool outside Sodom and Gomorrah?
    Do we watch souls succumb to the death angel while we sit inside our houses?
    Do we watch souls go to hell while we sit untouched in our church buildings?

    We have found grace in Your eyes...

    Do we not preach righteousness like Noah even though many will mock us?
    Do we not travel in pursuit of the lost as Abram did when he went to rescue Lot?
    Do we not go out and tell them of the saving blood of Your Son?
    Do we not weep over those who are dying and ask You to send us?

    Father, as You sent Jesus, You have sent us out into a world of lost and dying souls.

    Lord, Jesus, may we have compassion on those who have not received Your Kingdom.
    There are multitudes today who do not know You and Your unshakable Kingdom.
    There are multitudes who are weary and scattered like sheep without a shepherd.
    They don't know the rest and peace the Good Shepherd has come to give them.
    They don't know the Lamb who was slain for their sin.
    They don't know You because they've not received Your Kingdom.
    They don't know You because many have not even heard of Your Kingdom.

    Holy Spirit, give us the eyes of Jesus to see the multitudes.
    Holy Spirit, give us the heart of Jesus so we might be moved with compassion.
    Holy Spirit, give us the mouth of Jesus to preach the Gospel.
    Holy Spirit, give us unashamed courage to proclaim "The Kingdom of heaven is at hand."
    Holy Spirit, give us the hands of Jesus to heal.
    Holy Spirit, give us the knees of Jesus who bent to wash feet.
    Holy Spirit, give us the burden of Jesus to weep over lost souls in our cities.

    Our Father, we confess we are often afraid and timid, or lethargic and uncaring. Put Your heart in us to have compassion for lost souls. Grant us boldness to speak to lost souls of Your unshakable Kingdom, Your Kingdom which has come, of saving grace of You have made available to us through the cross of Christ. Stretch forth Your hand to heal and that signs and wonders would be done through the name of Jesus.

    The apostle Paul wrote:

    For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes...

    May we not be ashamed of it.
    May we not be ashamed of You.

    For there is no other power, no other way under heaven, no other name, no other mediator, no other way by which men can be saved but by the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Empower us, strengthen us, embolden us, fill us with Your Spirit so we might proclaim Thy Kingdom has come to a lost world...

    Prayerfully come before God now and ask Him where He wants you to proclaim His Kingdom has come.
    And ask Him to provide all You need to do so and then trust by faith that He will do it.

tent_of_meeting

"he called it the tent of meeting..."

I am burdened to pray to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for the reformation and reviving of Christ's church.

The phrase tent of meeting comes from Exodus 33:7: Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far off from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting. And everyone who sought the Lord would go out to the tent of meeting, which was outside the camp.

This site is devoted to God first and foremost. In all that is done here, my prayer is that God is glorified and His Name magnified and Christ and Him crucified is lifted up so He might be preeminent and God might receive all the praise, honor and glory due His Holy Name. All who have come to a saving knowledge of our Father by grace through faith in the all-sufficient sacrifice of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ are welcome to enter this tent of meeting to seek the Lord.

This blog is a place for all believers in the Lord Jesus Christ to come and seek God's face for revival. My intention is for this tent of meeting to be a holy place where we can enter into PRAYER together to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, as the Holy Spirit leads you, please enter into prayer either here (think of "comments" as prayers) or on your own.

Habakkuk 3:2 O LORD, I have heard the report of you, and your work, O LORD, do I fear. In the midst of the years revive it; in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy.
