Opening Prayer (In Unison) O God, you are great, and your name is great in all the earth! Speak to us of your creation and of the purpose for which you have created us. Speak to us with urgency as we desperately search for answers. Speak to us, Lord, with words of healing and victory. In the beginning, you created the heavens and the earth; and it was good. We are marvelously and wonderfully made. Happy are those who take refuge in God instead of in the things of this world. In the name of Christ, make us ready to accept the challenge of being your people. Set the captives free and deliver us from all that is against us. You are greater than he that is in the world. Let God arise and your enemies be defeated. In the matchless, mighty, miraculous name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen. Unison Scripture Reading: Judges 16:1-4 (NLT) 1 One day Samson went to the Philistine town of Gaza and spent the night with a prostitute. 2 Word soon spread £ that Samson was there, so the men of Gaza gathered together and waited all night at the town gates. They kept quiet during the night, saying to themselves, “When the light of morning comes, we will kill him.” 3 But Samson stayed in bed only until midnight. Then he got up, took hold of the doors of the town gate, including the two posts, and lifted them up, bar and all. He put them on his shoulders and carried them all the way to the top of the hill across from Hebron. 4 Some time later Samson fell in love with a woman named Delilah, who lived in the valley of Sorek.

God, we love you and the genuine expression of love is giving. You showed your love for us first by giving us your Son. We demonstrate our love for you by giving now a portion of what you have given to us. We give freely. We give cheerfully. We will not rob you. Instead, we will worship you by giving from our heart.  You are our #1 priority. We will not treat banks or bills better than we treat you because you deserve all the glory, the honor and the praise. We refuse to live under a curse. Therefore, in obedience to your Word, we bring our tithe and our offering to you today. PUT your promise into action! Open the windows of heaven and provide what we need for our desires and our destiny! POUR into our lives the phenomenal and spectacular by releasing a

Page 6: Announcements and Opening Prayer July 20, 2014

blessing that is beyond our wildest dreams! PROTECT everything that we currently have and do not permit the enemy to abort anything that you are trying to give us for our future.  The tithe is what we owe, the offering is seed we sow. We sow now with the expectation of jobs and better jobs, of businesses and greater businesses, of raises and bonuses, of houses and land, of freedom from debt and supernatural increase. Bless us indeed and enlarge our territory as we live for your glory. Alleluia! In the mighty, matchless and miraculous name of Jesus, we confess. Amen!
