Morning by Morning, October 4 - Come Fill Us and Overflow Through Us in New Wine Worship Good morning, Lord Jesus. I lift up my heart in worship and open up my spirit in prayer, drawing near to You as You draw near to me (James 4:8). ... “When Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the temple. And the priests could not enter the house of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord’s house. When all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord on the temple, they bowed their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped and praised the Lord, saying: “For He is good, For His mercy endures forever.” (2 Chronicles 7:1-3). The temple of Solomon in Jerusalem was patterned from the plans You gave David in the Spirit (1 Chronicles 28:12). In the same way, the tabernacle of Moses in the wilderness was patterned from the plans You gave him in the Spirit (Exodus 25:19). And when the tabernacle was erected and the temple was dedicated, Your glory came and filled each place set apart for You as a holy place to encounter the Presence of the Living God (Exodus 40:34; 2 Chronicles 7:2). These earthly places were patterns of Your “true tabernacle” forever established “in the heavens, built by the hand of God and not by any man (Hebrews 8:1). And now in the Spirit, all who are in Christ, can encounter Your Living Presence here in our hearts, set apart as holy unto You through the Blood of Jesus, as the glory of Your Holy Spirit comes and fills the temple of our hearts. For “(our) body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in (us), whom (we) have from God” (1 Corinthians 6:19). In Christ, “we are the temple of the Living God. As God said: “I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people” (2 Corinthians 6:16). As we worship You “in spirit and truth”--wherever we are, whenever we set apart our hearts for You--Your glory fills our temple as Your Spirit fill our hearts (John 4:24). Our hearts are Your altar; our bodies are Your temple; our worship and prayer are Your tabernacle of meeting; as we encounter the Presence of the Living God. Tonight our ministry is launching a monthly gathering for worship and prayer at a venue in our community, open to all, to come and encounter the Presence of the Living God. May Your Holy Fire fall! May Your Holy Spirit come! We believe You’ve led us to call this “New Wine Worship” on these nights set apart to encounter You with hearts thirsting to drink deeply from the well of Your Living Water (John 4:10) and from a “new wineskin” of the “New Wine” of Your Holy Spirit (Mark 2:22). Come, Holy Spirit! Come fill Your temple and tabernacle of Your people--filled us up in worship and overflowing into our community--with the Presence and love and power of the God of Revival! (Ephesians 5:18) Come and dwell among us, abide within us, for You are our God and we are Your people--set apart and thirsty for You! “Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come...!” (Isaiah 55:1) In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
