Praise and Worship Event

April 12, 2008

For third time of prayer, 40 anointed intercessors gathered at Congregación León de Judá. The keyboard was played beautifully by Sharon Schaff, who led the worship, sometimes accompanied by Chaletta Huertas.

"Thank You for Your sweet presence in our midst. We pray that You will surround New England. We send your Spirit to the northernmost parts of Maine, to the southernmost parts of Rhode Island and Connecticut, through Massachusetts and to New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine.

"We pray that the deep, deep wells of revival will be reactivated, wells dug by men and women who venerated Your Word. We pray those pacts and covenants will once again vibrate with life.

"We go back on our word, Lord, but You remain faithful forever. We pray that the fervency that brought men and women so far, at such cost, will be reactivated in Your Church today.

"Manifest Yourself again, Holy Spirit. Raise Your prophets. Raise Your priests. Raise Your apostles, raise Your prophets, raise Your evangelists, raise Your pastors and teachers.

"We bind the power of the Enemy. He has no legitimacy. He has nothing to stand on. We have Your Word to stand on. We crush the shackles of arrogance, pride, humanism."

"It's already here in the city. We have what we need. He wants us to invade the workplace, the arts, the media. It's time to move."

"We trust in Your grace. We trust in Your anointing. We speak forth life because it starts from You. The lines have fallen for us in beautiful places, O Lord. We have a beautiful inheritance. 'Let the rivers clap their hands, Let the mountains sing together for joy...'[Ps. 98:8]

"1 Kings 11:4: 'For it was so, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned his heart after other gods; and his heart was not loyal to the LORD his God, as was the heart of his father David.'

"Solomon's heart was not really devoted to the Lord. Is this attitude somewhere in our hearts? Ps. 139:23: 'Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.' Is there a little more you can give? I was hearing angels. Don't be shy because there are people around."

This word encouraged the group to be really free in their expression.

"Here is Psalm 105: 7-12. Think of Boston and New England each time you hear 'covenant':

 7 He is the LORD our God;
          His judgments are in all the earth.
  8 He remembers His covenant forever,
          The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations,
  9 The covenant which He made with Abraham,
          And His oath to Isaac,
  10 And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,
          To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
  11 Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan
          As the allotment of your inheritance,”
  12 When they were few in number,
          Indeed very few, and strangers in it.' "

"Humble us, Lord, so it not our will, but Your will, that is done. Amen and amen."

Gail Thomas to speak at two churches

Gail Thomas is associated with the Institute for Hebraic-Christian Studies (IHCS) - New England.

She says of herself: " An appropriate term to describe my identity while growing up was proud. Proud of my personal heritage, proud to be an American and particularly, proud to be self sufficient. Sounds good, yet these very attributes were stumbling blocks in recognizing my need for Jesus. A difficult life circumstance brought me to the realization of my need and I humbly came before God and asked Him to teach me His ways.

"Surrendering my heart to the Father brought the full revelation of the Son. My thirst to grow and acknowledge Him in all things has reaped years filled with refining trials and close encounters with His magnificent love. Hunger for deeper insights led to the study of the Hebraic roots of Christianity in order to discover the riches Jesus revealed on the road to Emmaus. 'And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. (Luke 24:27 KJV)'

"I appreciate being involved with Covenant for New England. It is deeply moving that the faithful work of the Pilgrims in laying a good foundation provided the path upon which we are now entering into a fresh move of God to redeem and restore. Such an endeavor, then as now, requires the imperative to covenant with one another towards a common goal. By pursuing loving unity, Covenant for New England is building up the Spiritual dwelling for revival.
