God's House

The Holy Spirit desires to make intercession for and through us. Before a person's prayer can become powerful, he/she must be in right standing with the Lord and their neighbor. James 5:16 (HCSB), "Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The intense prayer of the righteous is very powerful." In Isaiah 56:7, Father God said, ". . .for my house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples." But I noticed that each time Jesus would quote it, He would add, ". . but you had made it a den for thieves."

• Matthew 21:13
• Mark 11:17
• Luke 19:46

In Friday's night prayer, the Holy Spirit interceded for God's House. He knows everything and will make something visible that had been hidden or covered to His prophets. Amos 3:7, "Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. In prayer, the Holy Spirit made intercession for God's House to become known as the "House of Prayer (or Worship)" and no longer as the "House of Entertainers (or Thieves)". The Father is seeking or looking for "true" worshippers. Those who are worshipping Him in "spirit" and "truth" (John 4:23-24). This means that the innermost being of a person is true and pure. Those who worship him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration." If everyone claims to worship the Father to be true worshippers, then why would the Holy Spirit say He was seeking or looking for true worshippers. You only seek or look for something when it is not visible to the eyes. Therefore, true worshippers are hard to fine and this is who the Father is seeking or looking for. We were created to entertain His presence and not ours. Let's pray and agree together that the Lord make us true worshippers. So that when sinners see us, they will see Jesus through us. For Jesus said, And I, as I am lifted up from the earth, will attract everyone to me and gather them around me. (John 12:32 MB)". Let's be a part of making God's House a house of prayer and worship. Selah.
