Blazing Arrows
Welcome back to Blazing Arrows
Today we find out what it's like to pray for others.
Meri, what do you think is the best thing at Blazing Arrows?
Jesus. What does it feel like to be close to Jesus?
I feel peaceful, have no fears because Jesus is so loving.
Hallelujah, You know my heart
Hallelujah, You hear my prayer
Today I open up to You, the deepest locks inside of me
I bring to You before the altar my thousand dreams
Hallelujah, You know my heart
Hallelujah, You hear my prayer
Today I open up to You, the deepest locks inside of me
I bring to You before the altar my thousand dreams
I want to trust in Your wisdom and give them to Your arms
Immersed in Your love, You only want to give what's best
Like a Father to his child
I want to trust in Your wisdom and give them to Your arms
Immersed in Your love, You only want to give what's best
Like a Father to his child
Hallelujah, You know my heart
Hallelujah, You hear my prayer
Today I open up to You, the deepest locks inside of me
I bring to You before the altar my thousand dreams
I want to trust in Your wisdom and give them to Your arms
Immersed in Your love, You only want to give what's best
Like a Father to his child
I want to trust in Your wisdom and give them to Your arms
Immersed in Your love, You only want to give what's best
Like a Father to his child
Hallelujah, You know my heart
Hallelujah, You hear my prayer
Today I open up to You, the deepest locks inside of me
I bring to You before the altar my thousand dreams
Hallelujah, You know my heart
Hallelujah, You hear my prayer.
Blazing Arrows
Hello Heidi, how old are you? - I'm 16.
How long have you been at Blazing Arrows?
For 8 years, right from the start.
I've heard you write your own songs. How do you do that?
Well I sit at the piano, and start to play some chords.
When something sounds good, I try to get a melody going.
And then the words usually just come, God gives them to me.
Why do you write them?
I want to give God my praise and what comes from my heart.
One way to do that is to make new songs.
Can you play something for me?
Yes, I can play part of my most recent English song.
Blazing Arrows
Fanni, what are we dancing today?
We're dancing- The Gift from Heaven
Meri, do you think it's hard to dance for God?
No, it's easy to dance for God.
Blazing Arrows
At the beginning of the song -
You heard my prayer, when I prayed
for my wish
Ok,let's take it from the start
You heard my prayer, when I prayed
for my wish
That I whispered to You
Put your hands by your mouth and make a swooping bow.
That I whispered to You
Let's do the start again:
You heard my prayer, when I prayed
for my wish that I whispered to You
My heart smiles
Go from one side to the other with your hands on your chest.
My heart smiles
Then take your arms to the side like this.
Then turn round -
now full of singing
Ok, from:
My heart smiles now full of singing
Then -
Giving thanks and praise to God
Arms up here, then down and all around ending on the other side
Then this small tip backwards.
Let's do it from the start without music still.
You heard my prayer, when I prayed
for my wish that I whispered to You
My heart smiles now full of singing
Giving thanks and praise to God
That last part comes twice. Let's do it with music now -
You heard my prayer, when I prayed
for my wish that I whispered to You
My heart smiles now full of singing
Giving thanks and praise to God
You heard my prayer, that I prayed
for my wish that I whispered to You
My heart smiles now full of singing
Giving thanks and praise to God
Ok, then we have a short verse, like this -
We thank you for knowing our hopes
It's a bit like making a small bow.
We thank you for knowing...
Then your arms rotate down, one hand in front the other behind
...our hopes and gave us a gift
From here - it's like you're reaching for something up high
then give it forward.
OK, let's do it again without music -
We thank you for knowing our hopes
and You gave us a gift
Let's do it with music -
We thank you for knowing our hopes and You gave us a gift
Then we have the chorus, which starts with a jump - 'bam'
Then turn around - "You're the gift from heaven"
So it's, 'bam' "You're the gift from heaven"
The most precious treasure
From here this hand like this - "More beautiful than"
Then - "A thousand rays of light"
Let's do the chorus from the start. So it's - 'bam'
You're the gift from heaven
The most precious treasure
More beautiful than a thousand rays of light
Great miracle - wonderful
Ok, your arm comes down from up here, swooping down and back -
Great Miracle - Wonderful
Then spin round your left leg with arms doing this movement -
We're full of love
Then your hands come up -
You let Your blessing
So your hands go straight up.
follow us
Goes like this - step forwards, turn, step forwards, turn
Ok, from here -
Great miracle - wonderful We're full of love
You let Your blessing follow us
Let's do the chorus again without music - 'bam'
You're the gift from heaven
The most precious treasure
More beautiful than a thousand rays of light
Great Miracle - Wonderful
We're full of love
You let Your blessing follow us
Great. Let's do this part with music now -
You're the gift from heaven
The most precious treasure
More beautiful than a thousand rays of light
Great Miracle - Wonderful We're full of love
You let Your blessing follow us
That went well. The next verse goes like this -
The power of this moment remains
Hands and feet move together and fingers are like this -
The power of this moment remains
Then make a small circle with your hands
Amazing
'Where time stands still'- we go down, like this
Where time stands still
'Confidence' - place your hand on your chest
Confidence I have received into my heart
Your blessings go on forever
It's a bit like we're lifting something slowly upwards
Your blessings go on forever
Let's do it from the start again without music -
The power of this moment remains - Amazing
Where time stands still
Confidence I have received into my heart
Your blessings go on forever
As you get up you also look up.
Ok, let's do this part with music -
The power of this moment remains- Amazing
Where time stands still
Confidence I have received into my heart
Your blessings go on forever
Then we have the same as we did before - 'We thank you ...'
'...for hearing our prayers'
Then again-'You gave us a gift'
Before it was - 'You know our hopes' now it's -
You hear our prayers
Then we have - 'Hey young hero ... '
'... spread your wings'
With the power of prayer everything is possible
Then it comes again -
Hey young hero, spread your wings
With the power of prayer everything is possible -
possible, possible
Then 'bam' - 'You're the gift from heaven'
Let's take the part with 'hey young hero' with music -
Hey young hero, spread your wings
With the power of prayer everything is possible
Hey young hero, spread your wings
With the power of prayer everything is possible
Then we have the chorus.
Blazing Arrows
Meri, what kind of things do you pray for?
On behalf of others what ever comes to mind.
For the prayer time we're in 2 groups- join me here
Lovely that you all came today.
I'd like to start with a question: If one of you had to
move your big sofa alone from one place to another -
Would that be possible? What do you think Minja?
Well, I wouldn't be able to do it.
I'm sure that none of us could do it alone.
But what if we really needed to move the sofa because it was so
badly in the way and we just couldn't get by?
What could we do? What do you think, Meri?
I'd ask someone to help. - That's right.
If we all got together to carry the sofa, then it would be easy
Sometimes in life, there can be big issues that we can't handle
alone. What we can do is get together and pray about it.
Do any of you have examples of when others prayed for you?
Who's been prayed for?
So everyone here has been prayed for.
Could someone tells us what it felt like, when others prayed?
How about Markus? - Nice
How did it feel for the others?
Heidi, could you tell how you felt when you received prayer?
I've been prayed for many times. Sometimes it's really cool that
they prayed for just the right thing that I been having a hard
time with and finding difficult. Like someone prays for me and I
haven't told them anything. Then they pray for just the
same thing that I have on my mind.
It's like- 'Wow' God You hear my thoughts!
What about when you're praying for others, what's happened?
I've prayed for others. I don't always see what happens.
Sometimes someone may start to weep and you can see what God
is doing.I've learned that it's nothing to do with the person
who's praying. I've learned that we need to give way to God.
Do we need to be really good at praying so that we can pray
for others? What do you think? Aurora
No, I don't think so.
Where does your help come from,
if you feel your not good at praying?
From God.
Yes, we don't need big prayers
it's enough that God is big.
Now we're going to split into 2 groups to pray.
Minja, Markus and Heidi stay here and
the others can go to the other room to pray.
Minja, is there anything in particular you'd like to
pray about?
I'm now in the 6th grade, my last year at primary school.
Could you pray that all goes well in 6th grade this year.
Yes, Ok. Markus you could pray.
Jesus, please help everything to go well with Minja,
this last year at school. Amen.
Father I thank you for Minja, that you've sent this lovely
girl here. I ask that she can enjoy her last year at primary
school, enjoy her friends, get everything she can from it.
Please bless her move to lower secondary school. Amen.
Markus, do you have something in particular to pray for?
Not really.
Ok, then maybe we can just bless you.
Minja, you can start.
Lord, I thank you for this wonderful boy Markus, who has
joined us at Blazing Arrows. Bless him during his whole life,
with his friends, his home and wherever he goes,
be with him always.
Father, I thank you so much for this great kid Markus, that
You sent here and for all the gifts You've given him.
I ask that Markus can grow into a great man of God. I thank You
for what You are going to do through Markus in this world.
Amen.
I'm now in my 1st year at upper secondary school, now that we're
on the topic of school. Pray that I can keep up and that it
goes according to God's will.
Lord, I thank You for Heidi, that You created this lovely
young lady.Bless Heidi at upper secondary school with her friends,
friends and that she can keep- -up with school things. Amen.
Jesus help that everything goes well for Heidi at upper
secondary school and that her friends are nice to her. Amen.
Now were going to pray for you, who are watching from home.
Minja, you can start now.
Lord I thank You for all those watching this program. If some
do not believe in You, may they find faith in You through this
program. Bless them and help all viewers in their own lives.
Jesus, help everyone that sees this to believe in You. Amen.
Father, I thank You for all those watching.
Thank You that it's not by accident that they are watching.
I ask that You will bless them all and they will
learn to know you better. Amen
