Hello there :)
Hope you’ve had a great Summer.
Autumn’s kind of a time of fresh starts... new school and university terms... fresh aligning of life goals after the holidays.
After a couple of months break, we’re restarting our monthly extended worship and prayer times (aka burns :) ). As you may have seen in other posts, we’ve had a big shift in the UK organisation and are now working together under the banner “Worship 24/7 Network” rather than Burn 24/7 UK. But we still have the same heart and vision... to see worship and first love for Jesus overflowing into intercession and mission. So what we do month by month as “Worship 24/7 Durham” will look very much as it has for the last 15 years.
On Saturday October 12th at 6PM we’re gathering in one of our favourite venues, Waddington Street URC, and grateful for the warm welcome they give us to use their amazing building. We’ll be led by amazing local worship leaders and musicians as we seek the beautiful face of Jesus, catch the heart of the Father and are carried along by the Holy Spirit.
Our hearts are being stirred to pursue fresh encounter and intimacy with Him, knowing that He is our first love, and the One Thing our hearts seek. But also we're stirred to faith, believing that from that place, He releases His Kingdom authority and unlocks doors for His kingdom to come.
As Jesus says in Revelation 3 "And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens. I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut.”
Why is it the Key of David? We believe it has to do with the Lord seeing David’s heart.
“He raised up David to be their king, of whom he testified and said, ‘I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’” (Acts 13:22).
David’s heart was steadfastly focused on the One Thing of knowing and loving God with all He had…
“One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple.” (Psalm 27:4)
Because of this heart David instituted 33 years of day and night musician and singer led worship before the Ark of God, where many of the Psalms were written and voiced. That place before the throne of God was at the heart of his government and rule, and how David brought Israel under God’s rule… and it was the source of Israel’s victories and success and expansion during his reign.
So as we seek Jesus face, we want to be like David and make extended space for the Lord to be the centre of our worship and praise… and as we do the wonderful ‘by product’ will be that He will extend His arm and unlock His kingdom purposes in our city and region.
We hope you can join us as we seek Him.
love and blessings
The Worship 24/7 Durham Team
