January 19th Praise & Worship Service @ Tremont Temple

An invitation from Roberto Miranda Senior Pastor, Congregación León de Judá and Chairman of Covenant for New England:

Covenant for New England is inviting God's people from all over New England to gather at Tremont Temple on Friday, January 19, 2007 for a service of worship, intercession and proclamation of God’s Word. Our purpose is to continue promoting the unity of God’s people in this region, to clamor for a visitation of the Holy Spirit upon our spiritually dry land, and to continue pressing in toward the renewal of the Church in New England.

In times of dryness and scarcity, God calls us to gather and seek His face, to repent and mourn in the Spirit, and to call for His refreshing rain. In Joel 2:12 He declares:

“Even now, return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.” As we seek Him earnestly and collectively, He promises to respond and pour His blessings upon the land: “Then the Lord will be jealous for his land and take pity on his people. The Lord will reply to them: ‘I am sending you grain, new wine and oil, enough to satisfy you fully.’” (Joel 2:18) There is, of course, a spiritual dimension to this imagery. Grain, wine and oil have always been symbols of the blessings of God’s Spirit, His Word, joy and anointing.

The history of revival shows that when God’s people gather across denominational and geographic lines to seek His face in a sustained way, major blessing takes place. Covenant seeks to be an instrument to facilitate such gatherings in the future. We want to make these gatherings as meaningful and purposeful as possible. We want them to reflect the diversity of Christians in this region. They should be an opportunity for Christians of all denominational backgrounds to be refreshed, inspired and instructed on the dynamics of a Spirit-filled life, a life that is contagious and impacting.

If we covenant together, as God’s regional Church, to seek Him with all our heart until He pours the blessing that He intends, I believe that we will see major change in the spiritual condition of this land.

Please come on Friday, January 19 at 7:30 p.m. to Tremont Temple and invite others. Pray that the Lord will pour out His blessing upon us that evening, and that we will all be refreshed and strengthened.
