As We Enter

The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things; and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation, that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, For we also are His children.  Acts 17:24-28 NASB

God, mighty God, we give You our lives.  May our homes be open as places of constant worship and environments of Your grace. Yes Lord, teach us how to live such lives of hospitality that we might bring respite, fellowship, and support to the souls of those who enter Your churches. Let their spirits be refreshed and made to desire more of You when they enter and experience the relationships and fellowship made possible by Your life in us.  Open the heavens, let us be conduits of Your blessings. As strangers on the earth, let Your Kingdom culture be modelled in Your people as a wonderful lifeline in this broken world. We trust You Holy Spirit, help us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus so that we will always be responsive to Your will and ways. Make us sensitive to Your direction and intention.  We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray deliverance, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness,  prayed together in Your holy holy holy name King Jesus, amen!
