Words or an Understanding Given: People were asked to post what they were hearing or understanding from the Lord as they prayed.

May the Lord be our strength and our song. He has become our victory. Songs of joy and victory are sung in the camp of the godly (and at Redeemer). The strong right hand of the Lord has done Glorious things (and will continue at Redeemer). Psalm 118 Like the window portrays Jesus in the garden praying, we see it fully only when God’s light shines through. So in our world, people need to see God’s light shining through us! May it be so! Isaiah 43:18 – “Do not remember the former things of old. I am about to do a new thing.” Through Christ each one of us is a light in the world, but together we are a beacon. Beacon definition: a fire or light set up in a high or prominent position as a warning signal or celebration. That My children (all ages) would know more and more My love for them! Redeemer – figuratively and literally a place pulsating with the Heartbeat of God, lights on…doors open… a hub for rescuing souls, both action and rest, fully reliant upon the Spirit. Be more aware of Me than the people places around you. Active in the world yet one step removed. Move from survival to a life centered in My truth and love. Circumstances change, but Your dwelling place is constant. My will for you? Joy! People of Redeemer, How much do I love you? More than words can say, more than life itself. You know this is true because I died for you. How much more I want to give to you, more than you will receive. Resist thoughts that question My love for you. For I have the most constant flow of love for you. Drink from the refreshing stream all day long. Remember and rest in grace. When cloud’s hide the sun, it’s still there, so am I …. Be Still--- “Be still and know that I am God” Psalm 46:10 “Arise, cry out in the night – pour out your heart like water in the presence of the Lord…” Lamentations 2:19 Correct our earthly vision. Refocus our vision. As we walk in faith, God will heal our eyes so we will see with faith- let our eyes see Jesus. Open the eyes of our heart Lord. Look to see the glory of the… “I see the Lord. He is high and lifted up, and His train fills the temple. The angels cry Holy- Holy is the Lord.”

He’s already given us the key for all He would ask. We have what we need. Help repair their homes. Care for their hearts and needs. Share Christ with them and His joy! Don’t give up, this might not be our home, but we touch many with our fair [sic] don’t say I’m worthless because if anything you’re not, you help people become closer to God. The Lord is our Savior, healer, redeemer Thou O Lord art a shield about me, my Glory, and the One who lifts my head. Ps. 3:3 Peace for all time, agape love, understanding, embracing grace: God’s gifts. Appeal to Heaven For some individual: I know your heart. Your disobedience and lack of faith hold you back. Submit to me and you will know peace and joy. Triumph is through the Lord Jesus Christ! JOY! Philippians 3! :-) He remembers His covenant forever Psalm 111 Create in me a clean heart… Psalm 51 FEARLESS! Communicate! Love Faithful Use only kind words to one another, even in your heart Love and serve: whoever loves God must also love his brother. 1 John 4:21 Matthew 14:13-21 – Don’t focus so deeply on what you don’t have, but rather obediently give what you do have. --- You don’t have to have all the details figured out before you serve. --- Do you believe God is inviting you into His story? Faith moves God to act on my behalf, to give courage to be a witness for Him. Mt. 9:29 “Now my heart is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. Father, glorify your name!’ then a voice came from heaven, ‘I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.’” John 12:27-28

May Redeemer be always a place of light and life for all of us who live in a dark and dying world! Christ came to share in our death that we might live! No Condemnation… We are free and securely loved in Christ. In reaching our there is no failure, only a bright hope of God doing a new work one life at a time. “What would you attempt if you knew that you could not fail?” Our Papa God’s attention is on our heart and not on the ways that we fall short. Redeemer… an image of God’s love, hands that serve, hearts open to bridging differences of all kinds, feet that take us where we’re led to go, facilitator of growing/strengthening relationships with Jesus. Lord, we pray that you fill our hearts with- caring, love, kindness, patience, generosity for our neighbors here in Fridley. How to reach out without “scaring people away”: spirit of gentleness, simple acts of kindness, to be as natural as breathing. Please stir in all of us these gifts. Give us joy in our servingothers, see this and want to join in. Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9 Leader, Counselor, Almighty, Trust, Go… God, you are the savior, you help us go to heaven, I ask that more people will get to know you so that more people could have eternal life in heaven with you and be happy rather than miserable. With God people are happy, without God people are sad and depressed. Psalm 73:25 Whom have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth. I love you Father God. Thank you for sending your Son Jesus from heaven to earth. Jesus is all I need, ever! There is simply nothing else I lack or desire. Jesus, be my vision and be my strength that I may see things clearly through your eyes and walk resolutely on the earth. You have made all things perfect and right on earth and in heaven, for in you time stands still in your eternal victory! In victory there is no fear, fo condemnation, no trepidation. What is there to fear? Nothing. For none can compare to you! Your works are so vast, so unsearchable and unreachable to my feeble mind. Yet you have chosen to reveal yourself to me and call me your own. Solamente Dios!
