Oh come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a jo Oh come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise! For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are his also. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker! How we express the joy of corporate fellowship after 8 long months!

Father!” Resurgence Edmonton Gathering The Church at South Edmonton 9910 Building Registration opens Saturday, October 10 @ 11am A Livestream will also be available via our website 👍🏻
“This is a season of tremendous opportunity for “This is a season of tremendous opportunity for growth in our walk with the Lord... it’s a matter of stepping into that.” @jimhall73 from @hopedmonton shares a word at our September Online Gathering out of Hebrews 10. Podcast is up on the website! ...let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:22-25
“Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and h “Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit.” - James 5:17-18 Elijah is one that the New Testament points out as having incredible significance in regards to the first and second coming of Christ. He was one who performed signs and wonders likened to no one in all scripture, even Christ Himself: calling fire down from heaven; raising the dead; shutting the sky that no rain may fall. Yet the profound thing here is that James is emphasizing His prayer life, something we know very little about from the accounts of his life. James accredited all of Elijah’s miracles to His prayer life.  The implication of saying that he “was a man with a nature like ours” is that through prayer, we have access to the same power that Elijah had. This opens up a whole world of possibilities for what we can accomplish through prayer! But let’s take a closer look at how Elijah prayed when he shut and reopened the heavens in 1 Kings 17-18. When he shuts the heavens there seems to be no prayer, only a declaration, but when it comes to reopening the heavens, we see something very significant: according to 1 Kings 18:36-46, he did not pray once or twice, but a total of seven times!  Beloved, if we are wanting to see the power of God break out in our lives then we must take the same path of Elijah who was stubborn in prayer, and would not give up until he saw the breakthrough, praying not a signal time but seven times! Day 5 of our Prayer & Fasting Challenge
"And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the "And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to his teaching.” In Luke 10:38-42 we read of the famous story of the two sisters Mary and Martha; Martha was distracted with doing many things around the house while Mary just sat at Christ’s feet. After sometime it seems that Martha became annoyed with her sister and came to the Lord saying, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.” and His response was, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her." The irony of the story is that Martha was distracted with many things pertaining to hosting Jesus’ presence while Mary simply enjoyed His presence. Because Martha was doing so many good things she was so distracted that she completely missed out on the “one thing necessary” - that is, finding delight in Christ. He says that the act of being at His feet is the one necessary and needed thing; notice that there is not two or three needed things but one singular thing. Thus let us make this one thing our main focus and pursuit today. We encourage you to carve out time to do the one thing that God has designed you to do - to sit at His feet and seek to enjoy Him solely for who He is. We pray for everyone reading this today that the Lord would deliver you from the distractions of your life so that you can give our complete attention to the Son. Day 4 of our Prayer & Fasting Challenge
“..and the smoke of the incense, with the prayer “..and the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel.” In Revelation 8:3-5 we see behind the curtain of heaven what takes place with our prayers in the invisible realms. As seen quoted above in Rev 8:4, our prayers rise before God as a sweet smelling aroma. This is one of most astonishing realities of prayer that we have to grab a hold of and truly believe in the deepest places of our hearts - that our prayers are not annoying or burdensome to God but are pleasing to Him. The scene then switches in verse 5 from God enjoying the prayers of the saints, to an angel then taking our prayers and mixing them with fire and hurling them down to the earth. The effect of the prayers being thrown down to the earth is “peals of thunder, rumblings, and flashes of lighting." We must begin to believe two things in light of Revelation 8: 1. That God enjoys our weak and broken prayers. 2. That He anoints our prayers with great power and responds in astonishing ways. I want to encourage you today with this truth in our prayer times: that though your prayers may feel small and insignificant, they are great in the courts of heaven. In the eyes of the world our prayers may seem to be nothing more then religious babel, but in the eyes of heaven they are as “peals of thunder, rumblings, and flashes of lighting.” O the power of man talking to God; demons cower and tremble before the prayer of the saints! Day 3 of our Prayer & Fasting Challenge
“And he told them a parable to the effect that t “And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart.” In Luke 18:1-8 Jesus came to His disciples and encouraged them, that above all things they would continue in prayer and not lose heart. He then continued on this theme by giving them the parable of the widow and unjust judge: where we see a widow constantly coming before an unjust judge saying “give me justice against my adversary,” and because of her persistency, the judge was said to be bothered and so he quickly gave her justice. Jesus then concludes the parable by saying, “And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them?” The point that Christ is making is that if in the natural, an unjust judge can so easily be persuaded to bring about justice by her perpetual coming, much more will our Father - who is both good and just - quickly respond to the constant prayers of His bride. This is a call for the church to be persistent in prayer! Above all things in our prayer life we must be as the widow, knocking day and night on the door of our just Father. One of the rarest things on earth today is finding those who have faithfully given themselves to prayer for decades and have not given up when the answer does not come immediately. Friends, let us have a vision to labour in prayer not just for a season but for decades. Today would you consider once again taking up that one prayer request that you have lifted up before God constantly and have given up on seeing the breakthrough in? In accordance with Luke 18, put a stake in the ground and set your face to see the breakthrough, regardless of God’s timing! Day 2 of our Prayer & Fasting Challenge
“Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you, “Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him… He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry. As soon as he hears it, he answers you.” According to these promises in Isaiah 30:18-19, God is wanting to do great and awesome things in our lives and in the lives of those around us, but he chooses to wait for us to ask him. God desires so much more than simply restoring things by his own hand; he is wanting to partner with us in his plan. In this time of COVID-19 God is looking friends who will partner with him in prayer to release his plans and purposes. God is not stingy in what he is wanting to pour out on the earth and in our own lives, but he is waiting for us to simply ask him to move. We desire to see God move in our lives, our city and our nation. Ephesians 3:20 says that God is able to do “far more abundantly than all that we ask or think”, so we can be confident that God wants to be gracious to us and answer us when we call on him in prayer. Be encouraged that God is wanting and waiting to hear your voice. Would you spend your intentional prayer time today walking into the open arms of your heavenly Father and inquiring of his heart over this season? Day 1 of our 5-day Prayer & Fasting Challenge
