Just A Little Talk With Jesus |YouTube·Redeemed Quartet·May 8, 2021

Dear Heavenly Father: Blessed be the most Holy and Everlasting God of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The One Who has called us by His tender mercies out of darkness into the marvelous light and into His saving grace, we corporately offer praises unto Thee by declaring:

(Congregation Response:) Blessed be the Name of the Lord and Blessed be the Rock of our Salvation.

(Leader continues reading:) Humbly, we present these newly inaugural brothers and sisters into Your service as Living Stones and Ambassadors to become witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. Therefore, we beseech Thee to empower them with the Holy Spirit.

(Congregation Response:) Blessed be the Name of the Lord and Blessed be the Rock of our Salvation.

(Leader continues reading:) These are they, my Lord, who have graciously and joyfully accepted the calling into the Divine arena of servanthood. We now present these Seeds to be planted in Your Rock Garden. Seeds that through Your nurturing, will become petrified and will take on the characteristics of The Rock. For we know and now all of them know that You are truly the Rock of Ages Who has called us all to be living stones along this pilgrim’s journey called life.

So here we stand before You, Heavenly Father, confessing our sins and declaring our faith in Your promises of life eternal, which has already been bought with a price…having been Redeemed by the precious Blood of Jesus Christ. For we thank You for Jesus. We praise You for Jesus. We exalt You for Jesus. For by studying His life and believing in His works, as it is written in the Book, we know there is a God.

(Congregation Response:) Blessed be the Name of the Lord and Blessed be the Rock of our Salvation.

(Leader continues reading:) We don’t pretend to understand how everything was accomplished in the beginning, but all we do know is that once we were Born Again we began to see things more clearly; we commenced walking on paths charted by You; and we started talking more positively and demonstrating more love towards one another.

But most importantly, Dear Jesus, we have started to recognize Your voice; Your will and Your ways. We have come to realize that Your blessings are not just for ourselves alone, but for all Your people.

So, now Lord, in presenting these brothers and sisters to You in this ceremony today, we pledge to them and to You that this congregation will stand at their sides as they submit whole heartily to Your will and to Your way. That we as a Body will do all that we can to assist them as they gird up their loins and their minds to do battle in this sinful world.

That we will pray their strength in You as they strive to overcome all fleshly desires that would hinder their service for Thee. That we will consciously remind them that their DNA has changed. They are no longer made of corruptible seed but incorruptible seed. And each day they should be looking more and more like the Precious Cornerstone.

And now Lord, as we greet one another in love and with a Holy kiss and with the right hand of fellowship, we close this prayer in the matchless Name of Christ Jesus. Amen and Amen!

(Congregation Response:) Blessed be the Name of the Lord and Blessed be the Rock of our Salvation.

“Thank You for allowing us to have this conversation with You today!”
