October 13, 2012 - Listen for the Sound

Prayer focus for October 13-19 2012

There's a sound from Waterford that God desires to hear--He longs for it.  It's a sound indigenous to this land.  It's a sound of worship.  A sound of music.  A sound of His people crying out to Him with abandonment.  A sound of rejoicing in His goodness.  A sound of dancing.  A sound of celebration.  A sound of singing over the revelation of His goodness, mercy, truth and love.

It's time for the victims to rise up.  It's time for those who have been wronged, treated unfairly, even abused, to reach up to the heavens in worship and cry out to God.  It's time for reverse racism to end.  It's time for victims to let go, to forgive, to worship God, to let go of the desire for vengeance, retaliation, judgement, punishment, fairness or "rights."  It's time to abandon all for Him--to let the anointing of the Spirit break the yoke of bitterness and resentment, to let the Spirit of the Lord come into our hearts and set us free.

The truth will make you free and the truth is that we are called to be like Jesus who, when He suffered wrongfully, committed Himself to the One who judges righteously.  He didn't seek vengeance.  He died for the sins of the very ones who were crucifying Him. This truth will set you free.  It brings the anointing of the Spirit which breaks yokes of bondage and liberates you!

Let's seek Him wholeheartedly and produce the sound of worship that He longs to hear from the people in this land.  Listen for the sound...
