before they won't be intimidated by the devil they'll take as Jesus did that when Satan came he threw the book at him and he said it is written it is written it is written. Brand each one of these young men young women tonight that you brand it Paul you branded his mind that they may think they have the mind they may know they have the mind of Christ. Brand their hands that they want you handle anything that Jesus wouldn't handle.
Brand their feet that they walk only in the ways of God. Oh God I pray that somehow there may come a breath of prayer and intercession on this campus for the rest of this time that these precious folk are here. There'll be less talking around the table and more praying together seeking God together exploring the word together.
Make this a dangerous spot to the devil in the next ten days. Be a wall of fire round about this place and the glory in the midst. Write a new chapter in the history of your church.
Continue the acts of the apostles we beseech you. We're tired of sterile formalized religion. Living God fall afresh upon us.
We thank you this can happen not just only once but day by day they can be that renewing and that endearment. Maybe you with our heads bowed we could sing spirit of the living God. There's a pianist there can you strike it for us.
Don't sing fall afresh on us fall afresh on me tonight. Great me. Melt me.
Mold me. Fill me. Let's sing just before I pray.
He is Lord. He is Lord. He is risen from the dead.
He is Lord. He is Lord. He has risen from the dead.
And he is Lord. Every knee shall bow. Every tongue confess.
That Jesus Christ is Lord. Father we ask in that great day around my throne we shall discover that because of this meeting tonight because of obedience to the voice of God that people will march up to that throne who wouldn't have gone if that this meeting hadn't have been held. Spirit of the living God give such an endearment that Lord these people will not only be emancipated but go out to see others emancipated.
We look for a great worldwide revival just before you send judgment. We don't deserve it. God we break every law that you've given us a million times a day.
We commit adultery the least the world does commits it and we break your Sabbaths and we cheat and we lie and we steal and nobody's too worried. Oh God give us a heart like John Baptist to prepare the way of the Lord to believe that you'll take us to some areas where there are captives where there are people in total bondage and because we go there the liberty will come to them that comes to us. Again we pray bless last day's ministry bless the tracks that go out they go to so many they go so far we pray they'll be real light messengers of the mighty power of God.
Keep your hand upon us we ask and dismiss us in your blessing in Jesus name Amen. Amen. Bless you.
Thank you.
