Prayer meeting at USMB

[JakeStarkey]

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the universal church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

It's a beautiful morning, it's a wonderful day,
Walking with Jesus every step of the way.

He's got a blessing waiting for you today,
It's a beautiful morning, it's a wonderful day.

It's a beautiful morning, it's a wonderful day,
It's such a good feeling just to know that you're saved.

Don't let your troubles stand in your way,
'cause it's a beautiful morning, it's a wonderful day.

Lord has made this morning especially for you,
He hopes that you will be joining in the work he's gonna do.

He's got a blessing waiting for you today,
It's a beautiful morning, it's a wonderful day...

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Prayer is the key to Heaven
But faith unlocks the door
Words are so easily spoken
A prayer without faith is
Like a boat without an oar

Have faith when you speak to the Master,
That's all He'll ask you for
Yes, prayer is the key to Heaven
Thy faith unlocks the door.

How many times have you prayed for something big or small
How long did you have to wait? Or did the answer ever come at all?
Words are new expressions of thought and nothing more
Believing is what really counts my Friend
And faith is what unlocks the door.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Amazing Grace shall always be my song of praise
For it was Grace that bought my liberty
I do not know just why He came to love me so
Even looked beyond my faults and saw my need

I shall for ever lift mine eyes to Calvary
And view the Cross where Jesus died for me
How marvelous the grace that caught my fallen soul
he looked beyond my faults and saw my need.

He looked beyond my faults and saw my need.
He saw my need!

 

[JakeStarkey]

You are Christ,

my Holy Father,

my Tender God,

my Great King,

my Good Shepherd,

my Only Master,

my Best Helper,

my Most Beautiful and my Beloved,

my Living Bread,

my Priest Forever,

my Leader to my Country,

my True Light,

my Holy Sweetness,

my Straight Way,

my Excellent Wisdom,

my Pure Simplicity,

my Peaceful Harmony,

my Entire Protection,

my Good Portion,

my Everlasting Salvation.


Christ Jesus, Sweet Lord,

why have I ever loved,

why in my whole life

have I ever desired anything except You,

Jesus my God?

Where was I when I was not in spirit with You?

Now, from this time forth,

do you, all my desires, grow hot,

and flow out upon the Lord Jesus:

run... you have been tardy until now;

hasten where you are going;

seek Whom you are seeking.

O, Jesus may he who loves You

not be an anathema;

may he who loves You

not be filled with bitterness.


O, Sweet Jesus,

may every good feeling that is fitted for Your praise,

love You, delight in You, adore You!

God of my heart,

and my Portion, Christ Jesus,

may my heart faint away in spirit,

and may You be my Life within me!

May the live coal of Your Love

grow hot within my spirit

and break forth into a perfect fire;

may it burn incessantly on the altar of my heart;

may it glow in my innermost being;

may it blaze in hidden recesses of my soul;

and in the days of my consummation

may I be found consummated with You!


Amen.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

I feel the touch of Hands
so kind and tender
their leading me in paths
that I must trod
I have no fear when
Jesus walks beside me
For I'm sheltered in
the Arms of God.

So let the storms retire
and the dark clouds rise
they won't worry me
for I'm sheltered safe
within the arms of God

He walks with me
and none of it shall harm me
for I'm sheltered in the arms of God

Soon I shall hear the call
from heaven's portals
Come home my child
It's the last mile you must trod
I'll fall asleep and wake
in God's New heaven
Sheltered safe within
the Arms of God

So let the storms retire
the dark clouds rise
they won't worry me
for I'm sheltered safe
within the Arms of God

He walks with me and
all of earth in harmony
for I'm sheltered in
the Arms of God.

For I'm sheltered in the Arms of God.

 

[JakeStarkey]

God of compassion,

your love for humanity was revealed in Jesus,

whose earthly life began in the poverty of a stable

and ended in the pain and isolation of the cross:

we hold before you those who are homeless and cold

especially in this bitter weather.

Draw near and comfort them in spirit

and bless those who work to provide them

with shelter, food and friendship.

We ask this in Jesus' name.

Amen.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Refrain:
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

Refrain

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

Refrain

And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.

Refrain

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

Refrain

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

I will be zealous for my holy Name.
Ezekiel 39:25




His Name shall be called Wonderful
Counselor, the Mighty God
His Name shall be called the Everlasting Father
The Prince of Peace

............ listen to all the names of Jesus Christ.

The Lord Jesus Christ is Our Messiah.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Compassionate God and Father of all,
we are horrified at violence
in so many parts of the world.
It seems that none are safe, and some are terrified.

Hold back the hands that kill and maim;
turn around the hearts that hate.
Grant instead your strong Spirit of Peace -
peace that passes our understanding
but changes lives,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

 

[JakeStarkey]

Gracious God,
surround us and all who mourn this day
with your continuing compassion.
Do not let grief overwhelm your children,
or turn them against you.
When grief seems never-ending,
take them one step at a time
along your road of death and resurrection
in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Father,
you know our hearts and share our sorrows.
We are hurt by our parting from those whom we loved:
when we are angry at the loss we have sustained,
when we long for words of comfort,
yet find them hard to hear,
turn our grief to truer living,
our affliction to firmer hope
in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

 

[Liminal]

This is something new for everyone here. A Christian prayer meeting at USMB that can be joined in at any time as it is open 24/7!
Jesus Christ said,

For where two or more are gathered in my name, there I am in the midst.
Matthew 18:20

We will begin with reading of the Word of God - The first book of the New Testament is Matthew so we can begin there today. After reading several Chapters of the Word, we will have a time of worship by singing along with the praise and worship music posted. As we do this, we can each enter into the presence of the LORD. Words to each song will be posted under the video music so that each person participating can sing the songs (when available).

Last, after praise and worship we will post prayers for those who are in need of prayer, loved ones ( use first initial only please) co-workers, our communities - including USMB, our cities,our nation, the nations of the world who are in need of prayer, prayer for all who are suffering, the Muslims and Christians in India who are right now suffering greatly, the elderly Jews in Russia who are suffering, if anyone wants to add a group of people during prayer time - feel free to add them in, if it is a person you know only use first initial (example - Pray for C.) - and I will also post one myself for all the people on USMB, for our nation, nations of the world, for God to move mightily among us, that we may draw near to Him, and that He will draw near to us. I'm believing that each day as we set aside time to meet with Him in reading His Word, praise and worship and prayer - He will show up!

Everyone is invited!

As we do this each day? Get excited! Be expectant! You are going to notice the LORD drawing nearer to you, answering your prayers, you will be experiencing more joy, more peace, more wisdom throughout the day when you seek God first each day and set this time apart for Him! The LORD promises us that if we will draw nigh unto Him? He will draw nigh unto us!


Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
Psalm 141:2

I'm going to pray for your prayers to continue to go unanswered.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Like the wind of mystery
you can tell from whence it came
or where it blows
nor can I explain the way
Jesus came into my heart
so long ago
all I know is i recall the morning when
I heard the master calling out my name
and to His call I answered when
I asked him to come into my heart to stay.

Can you hear the Master calling you today?
Can you hear Him calling soft and low?
With his love and mercy
He will pardon you
but only when you heed
the Masters call, only when you heed
the Masters call.

Every time I look into the heavens
I can hear the master calling me away
calling me unto a land
where pain and death
never come my way again

til that day that I'll follow him
and serve him with my all
and tell the world about His love
Praying that another soul like me
may hear the Masters call

Can you hear the Master
calling you today?
Can you hear Him calling
soft and low?

With His love and mercy he will pardon you.
But only when you heed the Masters call.
Only when you heed the Masters Call.

Can you hear the Master calling you today?
Can you hear Him Calling soft and low?

With His love and mercy
He will pardon you

But only when you Heed
The Master's Call........
Only when heed the Master's Call.

Only when you heed the Master's Call......

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

1 Sweetly, Lord, have we heard Thee calling,
Come, follow Me!
And we see where Thy footprints falling
Lead us to Thee.

Refrain:
Footprints of Jesus,
That make the pathway glow;
We will follow the steps of Jesus
Where’er they go.

2 Though they lead o’er the cold, dark mountains,
Seeking His sheep;
Or along by Siloam’s fountains,
Helping the weak. [Refrain]

3 If they lead through the temple holy,
Preaching the Word;
Or in homes of the poor and lowly,
Serving the Lord. [Refrain]

4 Though, dear Lord, in Thy pathway keeping,
We follow Thee;
Through the gloom of that place of weeping,
Gethsemane! [Refrain]

5 If Thy way and its sorrows bearing,
We go again,
Up the slope of the hillside, bearing
Our cross of pain. [Refrain]

6 By and by, through the shining portals,
Turning our feet,
We shall walk, with the glad immortals,
Heav’n’s golden street. [Refrain]

7 Then, at last, when on high He sees us,
Our journey done,
We will rest where the steps of Jesus
End at His throne. [Refrain]

Footsteps of Jesus

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

I'm kind of homesick for a country
To which I've never been before.
No sad goodbyes will there be spoken
For time won't matter anymore.

Beulah Land (Beulah Land) I'm longing for you (I'm longing for you)
And some day (And some day) on thee I'll stand (Someday we will stand)
There my home (There my home) shall be eternal (Eternal)
Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land

I'm looking now, just across the river
To where my faith, shall end in sight (Shall end in sight)
There's just a few more days to labor.
Then I will take my heavenly flight.

Beulah Land (Beulah Land) I'm longing for you (I'm longing for you)
And some day (And some day) on thee I'll stand (Someday we will stand)
There my home (There my home) shall be eternal
Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land
Beulah Land, oh it's Beulah Land
Oh Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Revelation 21:4

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.

Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

The Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.

I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

I said in my haste, All men are liars.

What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?

I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.

I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

O Lord, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of theLord.

I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people.

In the courts of the Lord's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord.

Amen.

Psalm 116

 

[guno]

As it is written


LUKE
12:51-2
"Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three."
14:26
"If any man come unto me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple."

Lettuce pray

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Lord, please minister to those here who have lost loved ones and comfort them today. Let them know how precious they are to you, Jesus. Surround them with Your compassion, Your tenderness and Your love. Remind them know that You have saved all of their tears in a bottle and that though weeping may endure for a night, joy cometh in the morning.

Father, we know that eye hast not seen nor ear heard of the wonderful things You have prepared for those who love you and are waiting upon You even now..... Renew our strength as we wait upon You today.

In Jesus Name, we pray. Amen.
