Lord, let your faithful witnesses speak forth at the Diocesan convention and let them be heard.

Matthew 5:13 New King James Version
13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
     Jesus, your church is losing its flavor, for the gospel is being compromised and not preached.

Matthew 5:14-16 New King James Version
14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
     Jesus, please let your light shine forth again amid the growing darkness as people compromise the gospel with a "seeker friendly" gospel.
     
     Lord, let there be calls for repentance and conversion of life.

A Word Received: Let my light shine forth in your hearts so that others mmay see my light.

Isaiah 55:1-6 New King James Version

1 “Ho! Everyone who thirsts,
Come to the waters;
And you who have no money,
Come, buy and eat.
Yes, come, buy wine and milk
Without money and without price.
     Jesus, I am thirsty, and I come.

2 Why do you spend money for what is not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
And let your soul delight itself in abundance.
     Holy Spirit, guide me in how I spend my money.

3 Incline your ear, and come to Me.
Hear, and your soul shall live;
And I will make an everlasting covenant with you—
The sure mercies of David.
     Father, help me listen to your guidance.

4 Indeed I have given him as a witness to the people,
A leader and commander for the people.
     Jesus, help me heed your witness.

5 Surely you shall call a nation you do not know,
And nations who do not know you shall run to you,
Because of the Lord your God,
And the Holy One of Israel;
For He has glorified you.”
     Father, help me welcome your people from wherever they come from.

6 Seek the Lord while He may be found,
Call upon Him while He is near.
     Jesus, help me seek you daily.

A Word Received: Listen and heed my guidance.

Isaiah 43:1-6 New King James Version

1 But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob,
And He who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by your name;
You are Mine.
     Jesus, I am your creation; please bring us back to the purity you desire for us.

2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you.
     Lord, your church is going through deep waters and many are walking through the fire of ideology; have mercy on us.

3 For I am the Lord your God,
The Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
I gave Egypt for your ransom,
Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
     Jesus, you gave yourself for us; thank you.

4 Since you were precious in My sight,
You have been honored,
And I have loved you;
Therefore I will give men for you,
And people for your life.
     Jesus, thank you for loving us.

5 Fear not, for I am with you;
I will bring your descendants from the east,
And gather you from the west;
     I will not be afraid because you are with me.

6 I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’
And to the south, ‘Do not keep them back!’
Bring My sons from afar,
And My daughters from the ends of the earth—
     Father, do not fear all those who are captive to ideology. Rescue all your children who have been led astray by false teaching.

A Word Received: I Am with you; be not afraid

The Beatitudes

1 And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him.

For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

For they shall be comforted.

For they shall inherit the earth.

For they shall obtain mercy.

1 I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go into the house of the Lord.”
2 Our feet have been standing
Within your gates, O Jerusalem!
3 Jerusalem is built
As a city that is compact together,
4 Where the tribes go up,
The tribes of the Lord,
To the Testimony of Israel,
To give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5 For thrones are set there for judgment,
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who love you.
7 Peace be within your walls,
Prosperity within your palaces.”
8 For the sake of my brethren and companions,
I will now say, “Peace be within you.”
9 Because of the house of the Lord our God
I will seek your good.

John 14:3-7 New King James Version

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
     Jesus, so many are wandering witless and do not know you or the way.

5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”
     Holy Spirit, help those who do not know Jesus to find him and learn the way.

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
     Father, please help us learn the way to you through Jesus.
     Help us know what is true and what is false and choose the true.
     Please help us all find new life in Jesus.

7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”
     Jesus, you came so that we would learn and know the Father's love for us. Thank you.

A Word Received: Look to me for hope that does not disappoint.
