Today's Spontaneous Words in the Spirit

Mark:
"I want you to know I'm with you always" (repeated 4 times)
"with you even when you feel alone;
with you even when you feel intimidated;
with you even when you have your back to the wall;
with you even when you feel no one else understands;
with you even in the heat of battle;
I'm with you always - do not let your hand flinch from grasping the sword in the battle;
strengthen your hand to grab the sword I've given you;
when you come into combat against the enemy, I've called you to wield the sword of the spirit;
called you not to be fearful; not to be shy"
"Don't let me hear you say, 'but I am only a woman'; 'I am only young' - the Lord your God is with you always. Let it be your confidence in battle! I AM with you ALWAYS!"

John F: "What is your response? Father, again we say we will grasp the handle of that sword - going forwards with you our God because you are magnificent - you are our God!"

Scriptures brought during offering:
Carol: (Revelation 19:11-16)
I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Beverley: (Psalm 121)
I lift up my eyes to the hills— where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD watches over you— the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
The LORD will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life;
the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

Sarah: (John 14:1-2)
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms;" (and John 14:12-13)
I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.

Micky gave his testimony of healing:
Having lost his sight on 24th April this year, he was scheduled for an operation last Friday. Meanwhile he had been anointed with oil and received prayers for healing. When he attended for the operation, the anaesthetist had put the drops in his eye and the surgeon was having a look, then decided he wanted a scan performed. When he saw the scan, he said, "I don't believe this - it's healing by itself! You don't need an operation"

John F: invited people who needed prayer for healing to come forward and receive prayer.

Paula brought another scripture: (Revelation 21:1-7)
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."
He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son."

Simon: (Psalm 51)
'Have mercy on me, O God, according to your abundant love'
It struck him that the whole gospel is encapsulated in these words. It is an appeal for mercy from those who know God. Simon referred back to John's vision of the screen - we need to seek God, to come before Him - from whatever bad place we may be (David had committed adultery). God had mercy on David because of His abundant love. If you have things blocking you from enjoying the full blessings of obedience, call out to God, who in His abundant mercy will move to you.
