Starting Song:  Come Lord Jesus Come

Possible Interpretation:  Jesus Christ is still ushering in His “harvest” by revealing Himself more and more and will still continue to “come” as we leave.

Verses:

2 Timothy 1:6 – Fanning into the gift(s) of God that was given and allowing him to help us keep them alive by our communal blessing of each other.

Psalm 46 (Student) – God is great and mighty, and He is the one that does the work.

Let us stop our empty striving.

Psalm 24 (Student) – God is a Holy God.  Critical ideas: gates.

2 Chronicles 28:19-29:36 – Rebuilding temple with the help of not only the priestly class but also the tribe of Levi and others.  Resulting with the whole community praising God.

Critical ideas: gates, temple, walls, brokenness, repairing

Isaiah 58:12 (Jeff, Makana) – Repairer of broken walls, restoration of hearts for justice.  Reawaken God’s heart of Justice upon the Berkeley campus.

Psalm 24:7 (Student) – Allowing the King of Glory to come in.

Isaiah 60:10a,11 (Makana) – The “foreigners” are the IV staff and we came to rebuild the walls of the temple here at UC Berkeley with our “kings”, the leadership

Matthew 2:12,13,17.  We came with certain expectations and perspectives, and God stirred transformation within us.  He is calling us to not return the same way we came.  Guarding the transformation that God has given us this week.

Matthew 2:17 Revisited.  Used before to encourage us that God is indeed bringing His harvest and that the prophecy will/is come/ing to past.

Isaiah 57-59 (Makana, Jeff).  Revisited.

Visions:

Vision (Jeff):  Concrete steps viewed from the perspective of a person looking down the steps and backing his/her way upward.

Possible Interpretation:  That God is calling us to take concrete steps from what we have learned and gained during the CAL Invitational.  Also, a possible challenge to change our perspective and address those things in the past (possibly shameful, sinful, and hurtful things) and use them to direct our steps into the future.

Vision (Student):  Rivers of the Holy Spirit running over a female’s ears during a phone call.

Possible Interpretation:  No longer will the words of God fall on deaf ears.

Vision (Andrea):  Chains being broken.

Possible Interpretation:  The chains of fear that the IV staffers brought in were being broken during this time.  Some of the strongholds and idolatrous altars were being destroyed.  Question:  What does it look like for Jesus to continue to come in greater ways?

Vision (Makana):  Dam on the verge of breaking.

Possible Interpretation:  A large harvest of souls is coming, and/or a monumental/historic move of God’s spirit.

Identification and confession of blockages to Unity in the Body @ Berkeley done by staff and students:

-Lack of boldness and being silent in proclaiming their faith to be founded in Christ.

-Caught up in self-sufficiency.

-Break religious mindset, move past being civil to one another, and truly love each other.

Major Themes:  UC Berkeley, and the Body of Christ here, are representative of God’s temple being rebuilt and rededicated.

Observations:  Black community, Latino, and other ethnic staff are possible gatekeepers/key holders for restoration.  We identified that they did not operate as a community in either the student politic or at Inter-Chrisitan/Fellowship gatherings.  Thus, their communal gifitings were not available for the rest of the family to use and enjoy.

4-6am  Heather, Zac, Eddy, Brenda

We began with worship and then hearing from the Lord.

Scriptures and words we received...

"He is our satisfaction. It is finished"  Is 55:11 God's word will not return empty.

God is rejoicing in the change of heart in our community and our transformation  2 Corth 3:12-18

we need to have faith and it's time to battle that God will change us; the time now is critical and we need to reclaim what God has done and stand our ground  Eph 6, especially 6:11.

Ps 93 "the Lord reigns, the Lord is mighty"

Ps 126 "the Lord has done great things for us and we are filled with joy"

John 4:34-37 :  pray for the harvest that none would be lost, that what God began would be finished

pray for students and staff at Cal

pray for the staff as we leave and go home that the enemy would not steal what God has done

we prayed for Alex VR who left sick

we prayed that we would reject what the enemy does to get us off track

that our battles are won by the Lord and that we can reclaim the work of the spirit and that we would be ready for the enemy's counterattack.

Ps 128 we need God's mercy

that we would keep laying down control and our agenda

we annointed one another oil and prayed that what God began He would keep doing and complete

faith, compassion, power, sacrifice, service, intimacy, evangelism

that God would bless the rest of the staff team in the same way

we prayed for the students of Cal that they would have increased opp and faith to try new things, not to shrink back, for boldness, heart of the homeless, compassion, humility, softness and good soil.

We prayed for the homeless by name that we met and got to know this week, that People's Park would be transformed, that God would break addiction and protect woman and children;

we spent time praising and thanking God for all He did this week in us, the city and campus and in the people we got to know

Let us keep participating with God in the harvest!

2am-4am yipee!

Prayers of praise for who the Lord is and for the things he has done. He is so GOOD!

Prayer for follow-up with witness. Encouraged that the Lord has that under control and has a plan.

Encouragement for the students who have been sharing their faith this past week--to keep strong and to grow in love and desire to do so--for their developement too. Philemon 1:6.

Intersession for Alex VR. healing and restoration so that he may rejoin CAL Invitational.

Aaron and Justin shared about two students-Rachel and Kenneth that they met in the dorms. Prayed for Rachel that she would embrace her belovedness, her being a daughter of God, and see herself as a treasure: Luke 15. And with Kennneth, that he would be open to the Lord, experience Gods truth and love..Amos.

Thursday 12midnight-2:00am

lots of students came and prayed, encouraging for the staff

-prayers of thanksgiving: for who he is, for all he's done, for blessing of his love, faithfulness, heart for justice,for his sacrifice...Psalm 100:4-5, 50:14-15, 22, Isaiah 53

-time of listening prayer: for the poor and oppressed, that they would be people of wreckless abandon, people different from the world, remembering second coming, image of shore and ships sailing in praying for this generation as a generation of people, image of ship being held up by a hand coming out of the water, Ecclesiastes 3:1-11 a time for..., for holy spirit on campus,

-image of african child without shirt-he took one step towards this boy and the boy ran to him embraced him and cried, importance of taking one step

-hope, Jeremiah- that our mouths would be filled, for intercession,

-prayers for this fellowship- that this would not be the end of it after we leave, but the beginning, hope, follow up, against doubt and unbelief

-that is would spread to different places: other fellowships, other nations, the world, praising the gifts of different fellowships and places

-time of repentance- for being full of other things, for having other Gods such as classes

-being undivided, united

-blessing for staff by students (that we wouldn't be tired like a guest speaker back from talking), vice versa

-ended with song "you said"

10-12a April 8th: Spencer, Linda and Jill

As we moved into prayer Jill personally resonated with the empty house as that came up for her earlier this week. Partial breakthrough. We prayed through that...in that a fragrance theme came up. As we moved on we reflected on 2 Cor. 2:14-17  and John 12:1-8 that the work done here this week has not only filled the campus with Jesus' fragrance, but been an act of sacrifice and worship. That the work done was in part a preparation for more to come, as Mary prepared Jesus for burial.

Other scripture in moving with the theme of the empty house was John 14:1-4 and 2 Cor 5:1-5 in that God has prepared an abundance rooms to be filled (our heavenly dwelling with him)...2 Cor 5 served also as a sense of hope.
