While you were posting this, the Tuesday Revival/Conference prayer group was praying this very heart cry. Brian Long brought the message including Glorify Thy Name. Merle@Live Sacrifice.com is posting recordings of these calls until Greg returns on a temporary link. The following comes from the google-groups site for the prayer group and link to the Aug. 19 and Aug 26 prayer time.

[i]"Some of you had asked about where they can download the prayer calls.

Until Brother Greg returns from his travels the prayer calls can be downloaded at the following link. Unfortunately the notes will not be

[b]Leviticus 20:26[/b]
"Thus you are to be holy to Me, for I the LORD am holy; and I have set you apart from the peoples to be Mine."

[b]Ezekiel 36:22-23[/b]
"Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went. And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes."

Compare this passage in Ezekiel to John 17:17-24

Whom have I in heaven but you? And besides You,
I desire nothing else on earth. My flesh and
heart may fail; but God is the strength of my
heart and my portion forever.

{Psalm 73:25-26}

James 4:8-10

8Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

9Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

10Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

[b]1 Corinthians 5[/b]
9. I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people;
10. I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world.
11. But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler--not even to eat with such a one.
12. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church?
13. But those who are outside, God judges. Remove the wicked man from among yourselves.

"I cried unto him," the Lord "with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear" my prayer (Psa 66:17,18).

"[i]O my soul[/i], thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou [i]art[/i] my Lord: my goodness [i]extendeth[/i] not to thee;"

- Psalm 16:2(KJV)

"[i]As[/i] cold waters to a thirsty soul, so [i]is[/i] good news from a far country."

- Proverbs 25:25(KJV)

"For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." (Philippians 1:21)

"That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable to His death." (Phil.3:10).

"But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord."

- 1Corinthians 1:30-31(KJV)
