Ephesians 3:14-21
The Message (MSG
)

image

In Jesus name,

My response is to get down on my knees before the Father, this magnificent Father who parcels out all heaven and earth. I ask him to strengthen you by his Spirit—not a brute strength but a glorious inner strength—that Christ will live in you as you open the door and invite him in. And I ask him that with both feet planted firmly on love, you’ll be able to take in with all followers of Jesus the extravagant dimensions of Christ’s love. Reach out and experience the breadth! Test its length! Plumb the depths! Rise to the heights! Live full lives, full in the fullness of God.

God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.

Glory to God in the church!
Glory to God in the Messiah, in Jesus!
Glory down all the generations!
Glory through all millennia! Oh, yes!

Amen and Amen.

May the Lord consume you and
his glory rest  over all the earth.

In Jesus name,

Love is in the air, love is all I need, love is where I go, love is who I know, love is what I long to be.

Your love O God is what I seek, come and configure in the atmosphere as I sit @ your feet.
I surrender to you O Faithful and True One.
Teach me to love.
Let your love consume every place in my life, all for your magnification on earth, as it is in heaven.

Amen and Amen.

1 Corinthians 13:3-7 MSG

If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love. Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have. Love doesn’t strut, Doesn’t have a swelled head, Doesn’t force itself on others, Isn’t always “me first,” Doesn’t fly off the handle, Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others, Doesn’t revel when others grovel, Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end.

May God consume you and
his glory rest over all the earth.

In Jesus name,

Have your way Holy Spirit in our hearts today that we would sense your omni-presence wherever we go and come to a deeper understanding of your blessing and obedience in all places.
Move on us, breath on us, love on us.

Amen.

Deuteronomy 28:1-14The Message (MSG)

If you listen obediently to the Voice of God, your God, and heartily obey all his commandments that I command you today, God, your God, will place you on high, high above all the nations of the world. All these blessings will come down on you and spread out beyond you because you have responded to the Voice of God, your God:

God’s blessing inside the city,
God’s blessing in the country;
God’s blessing on your children,
    the crops of your land,
    the young of your livestock,
    the calves of your herds,
    the lambs of your flocks.
God’s blessing on your basket and bread bowl;
God’s blessing in your coming in,
God’s blessing in your going out.

God will defeat your enemies who attack you. They’ll come at you on one road and run away on seven roads.

God will order a blessing on your barns and workplaces; he’ll bless you in the land that God, your God, is giving you.

God will form you as a people holy to him, just as he promised you, if you keep the commandments of God, your God, and live the way he has shown you.

All the peoples on Earth will see you living under the Name of God and hold you in respectful awe.

God will lavish you with good things: children from your womb, offspring from your animals, and crops from your land, the land that God promised your ancestors that he would give you. God will throw open the doors of his sky vaults and pour rain on your land on schedule and bless the work you take in hand. You will lend to many nations but you yourself won’t have to take out a loan. God will make you the head, not the tail; you’ll always be the top dog, never the bottom dog, as you obediently listen to and diligently keep the commands of God, your God, that I am commanding you today. Don’t swerve an inch to the right or left from the words that I command you today by going off following and worshiping other gods.

In Jesus name,

Lord, make us rhythms of your perfect peace.

Help us invest love to the unlovable, giving forgiveness where hurt lingers, grabbing a hold of faith when unbelief is there, igniting the light where darkness falls,  and releasing divine joy to every sad face we encounter.

Let this divine peace consume the natural on earth, as it is in heaven.

Thank you for this peace, thank you for conviction, thank you for this harmony being released.

We need you Father in heaven.

Amen.

May God invade us and
his glory rest over all of us.
