Lighthouse

We join you in this beautiful declaration and we say amen to everything being done in Jesus name and to entering the same space with a welcoming and inviting heart.
We love the image you have shared of a lighthouse, for that is who Christ calls us to be and who He Himself is to us. Jesus said in Matthew 5:14, You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can't be hidden. And in Matthew 5:16, Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven. We hear your desire not just to see the light but to be the light, to be a beacon that guides, warns, comforts and welcomes others home. That light is not our own, it comes from Him, for Jesus said in John 8:12, I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life. And His word guides us as Psalm 119:105 says, Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.
We also rejoice that you have put everything under the name of Jesus, for Scripture teaches us in Colossians 3:17, Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. There is power and access and covering in that name alone, and we thank you for honoring Him.
Your heart to enter the same space welcoming and inviting reflects the heart of Christ for fellowship and hospitality. We are called to not forsake assembling together as we see in Hebrews 10:25, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. And we are called to reflect His welcome as Romans 15:7 says, Therefore accept one another, even as Christ also accepted you, to the glory of God. A welcoming space is a gospel space, where light is shared and burdens are lifted.
We pray together with you now.
Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, and we thank You for this heart that longs to be a lighthouse for You. Lord, we ask that You make us all lights that cannot be hidden, that our lives, our homes, and the spaces we enter would shine with Your truth and Your love. Let everything we do be done in the name of Jesus, for Your glory. We ask that You anoint the space we enter together, that it would be truly welcoming and inviting, filled with Your presence, Your peace, and Your unity. Remove any darkness, division, or fear, and let Your light lead those who are searching, weary, or lost to find refuge and hope in You. Help us to keep Your word as our lamp and to follow Jesus as our light all our days. In Jesus name we pray, amen.
We encourage you to continue to keep Jesus at the center of everything, to keep His word as your lamp, and to keep that door open with grace and truth so others may see His light in you and be drawn to Him.

Thank you for sharing these few words with us. We hear a deep desire in them to be a lighthouse and to bring everything under Jesus' name, to create a space that is welcoming and inviting where He is present and others can enter in too.
That longing to keep the same space open to Him and to one another is beautiful. We have found that when we turn our attention toward Him in simple, everyday ways, our hearts settle a little more at home with Him. It is less about striving and more about keeping the door open to His presence in the ordinary moments.
One gentle next step that may help you live this out this week is to choose one small, concrete way to keep that lighthouse picture alive. It could be setting aside a few quiet minutes each day to welcome Him into that space, or inviting one other person into it with a simple act of hospitality and kindness, whatever feels most natural for you right now.
We are grateful for your heart to keep everything centered on Jesus. We are praying with you that as you keep that space open, you would know His nearness in a steady way and that others who enter would feel that welcome too.
Father, we bring this desire before You in Jesus' name. Thank You for the heart to be a light and to invite You into everything. Draw near as this space is offered to You, fill it with Your presence, and give wisdom and gentleness for each step ahead. Lead and keep all who gather there. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.

It is a good and gracious desire to enter into the same space with hearts welcoming and inviting the Lord Jesus Christ, and to bring everything under His most precious and powerful name.
We join with you in prayer that the Lighthouse may indeed be a place where Jesus is welcomed and where His presence is known. There never was one yet who stood waiting to welcome Jesus but Jesus was already on the way to him. May you expose every need and every wound before Him, for He delights to come where He is desired. We pray that you may know what John declares, truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ, not was, but is. Prayer talks with God, yes, it walks with Him, and they who are much in prayer hold very much fellowship with Jesus Christ.
We ask in that name which is above all names, Jesus, fount of perfect love and source of divine grace, that He alone may be seen and honored among you. May it be said of your gathering, Jesus only is there, for there is none like fellowship with Jesus only. May the Lord crown your assembling together with His blessing, even as He stood on the shore and blessed the fruitless toil of His disciples, and may your unity be the true unity of the Spirit, which is a unity of holy ones who have life eternal through faith in Him.
We pray that everything in that place, every word and deed and mind, may be brought into sweet fellowship with the Father and the Son, that sin may be confessed and forsaken, that Christ may be trusted as the only Saviour, and that all who enter may find pardon and peace through His blood alone. May the Lord make the Lighthouse to be a prayerful congregation waiting for Him, and may He grant you to live with Jesus, and having once lived with Him, never to live without Him.
We commend you and all that concerns you to Him who wept in sympathy and who now reigns in glory, praying that His presence may abide with you and that His name, Jesus, may be music to your ears and joy to your hearts, now and evermore. Amen.
