Amen Post #14.

Lord, You are coming tonight among Your people and You are laying Your hands upon their heads, just as You blessed the children who came to You when You walked the earth. Lord, they were little ones with little understanding, and You reached out to their level of understanding.

You didn't judge them nor reject them, but You held onto them to plant Your seeds of faith within them. Lord, I ask tonight by Your spirit, for You to plant new seeds of faith into the hearts of Your people, as You go into their minds that are tired, confused, and who have no understanding. Will You go beyond their understanding and deposit a knowledge of how deeply they are loved. Let them understand Your word to know the depth, the breadth, and the height of the love of God in Christ Jesus. Lord we ask for the knowledge of Your love because You are a God of love.

Lord, heal Your people tonight. Father, heal rejection. Heal anger and disappointment. Heal abandonment. Heal misunderstanding. Take disappointment and crush it into the ground. Lord, destroy hopelessness in this room tonight. Lord, raise the people's faith to encounter Your love, Your compassion and Your heart. Take the scales off their eyes in the Spirit and pull them deep, deep, deep into the knowledge of who You are: that You are a sovereign God who is in love with His creation. Father, baptize Your people in true knowledge tonight. Baptize their enlightenment with the water and dew of your Spirit. Father, let weariness and well-doing be broken off.

Lord, let hope arise. Let it not be deferred any longer, but let Your gift of hope be deposited and sealed by Your Spirit. Lord, we take off all restrictions: we submit, we surrender, and we commit. Father, we ask that we do not fight Your will, but we declare and we decree like Mary did, 'Let it be done unto me according to Your word.' Lord, we declare in this room and those who are not with us tonight that Your word be done according to Your will. We stand on Your word tonight. We rest on Your word tonight. We take hope in Your word tonight. We turn our eyes onto You and Your word.

We thank You that You are the God of all knowing: the known and the unknown. Every hair in this room is counted; every hair. Every secret of the heart; every prayer answered and unanswered that You are in charge, Lord, because we declare and we decree that Jesus Christ of Nazareth is our Lord and our God. We bow our knees to You alone. We break idolatry even of self, and we ask for humility and submission so we can surrender into the arms of a loving and trustworthy God. We thank You Father. In Jesus' precious, powerful name, Amen.
