There was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the days of Solomon son of David king of Israel there had been nothing like this in Jerusalem. The priests and the Levites stood to bless the people, and God heard them, for their prayer reached heaven, his holy dwelling place.
2 Chronicles 30: 26-27
What I received from Jesus today is: It happened today!!!
We can never imagine how powerful it was when King Hezekiah led his people to worship the Lord with joy and power. But for those who participate in International Alpha in London, it happened today! I saw so many people looking up when we were worshiping including me because we saw a glorious scene that we worship in joy and power with angels and archangels! It was like the opening of the door of heaven! I wish and pray that we can worship like that every time we gather together to worship!
Today is the 3rd days of International Alpha and that we have the rare opportunity to worship the Lord many, many times with great joy and power! 160 Archbishops, bishops and 1,500 pastors and leaders from more than 100 countries and many denominations. Tim Huges who is the worship pastor of Holy Trinity Brompton and one of the top song writers in the world(He wrote Here I am to worship, Consuming Fire, Beautiful One, Happy Day...)led us to experience this kind of powerful and joyful worship with Nicky Gumble and other speakers giving us importance messages.
The 7a.m. prayer was also a wonderful experience that we prayed with more than 200 people and each one of us was so excited and eager to pray early in the morning. I do hope and pray that the weekly 9a.m. prayer meeting at Richmond Emmanuel can have that same spirit and power!
We have been praying a lot during these three days with people around us in groups of two to three. Today I prayed for Archbishop Carlos who is one of the Archbishops of the Catholic church in Mexico and I was being prayed for by him in Spanish! Nicky Gumble invited us to kneel and repent of how we have been hurting each others that denominations and many Christians cannot taste the sweetness and powerful of unity. It was so powerful to see almost everybody kneel down to pray and repent that from now on we need to stop to hurt but to love and build up the unity.
Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to prepare our hearts that we can worship you in joy, power and unity. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
