Welcome to Blazing Arrows.
Today we want to hear about which dance you liked best.
Meri can you imagine life without God?
Absolutely not. Jesus created us all and takes good care of us
Riikka, when do you think is a good to worship God?
When I feel good and want to thank God. Come and join us.
Everyone needs compassion, love that's never failing.
Let mercy fall on me.
Everyone needs forgiveness, the kindness of a Saviour.
The hope of the nations.
Saviour, He can move the mountains.
My God is mighty to save, He is mighty to save.
Forever author of salvation.
He rose and conquered the grave, Jesus conquered the grave.
So take me as You find me, all my fears and failures.
Fill my life again.
I give my life to follow, everything I believe in.
Now I surrender.
Saviour, He can move the mountains.
My God is mighty to save, He is mighty to save.
Forever author of salvation.
He rose and conquered the grave, Jesus conquered the grave.
Shine your light and let the whole world see,
we're singing for the glory of the risen King ...Jesus.
Shine your light and let the whole world see,
we're singing for the glory of the risen King.
Saviour, He can move the mountains.
My God is mighty to save, He is mighty to save.
Forever author of salvation.
He rose and conquered the grave, Jesus conquered the grave.
Shine your light and let the whole world see,
we're singing for the glory of the risen King ...Jesus.
Shine your light and let the whole world see,
we're singing for the glory of the risen King.

Forever author of Salvation.
He rose and conquered the grave, Jesus conquered the grave.

Blazing Arrows
This dance starts like this -
We stand in our place, then we hear some exciting music.
Where we take both arms round to the right then back to the left.
Back to the right then left hand down followed by the right.
Then we have the first verse which goes like this -
The walls of Jericho rise up before us.
So right arm infront, then right arm to the side.
Left arm infront, then left arm to the side
The walls of Jericho rise up before us.
Then step back on the right leg
The enemy stops the journey.
Then step forward - 'Step out you warriors'
Kneel down on your left knee.
Now the army of God will worship Him.
Then stand up. Let's do that again -
The walls of Jericho rise up before us.
The enemy stops the journey.
Step out you warriors.
Now the army of God will worship Him.
Let's try it with music -
The walls of Jericho rise up before us.
The enemy stops the journey.
Step out you warriors.
Now the army of God will worship Him.
Good. Then we have the 2nd verse which goes like this-
The powers of darkness tremble.
1st right arm infront then left arm -
The powers of darkness tremble.
When prayers are lifted up to heaven.
Then arms down quickly.
That's when the walls of Jericho ...
So the same move as earlier -
That's when the walls of Jericho came crumbling down.
The same God is working.... Then stand up -
...today too.
Let's do this verse again -
Powers of darkness tremble.
When prayers are lifted up to heaven.
That's when the walls of Jericho came crumbling down.
The same God is working today too.
Let's try this part with music -
Powers of darkness tremble.
When prayers are lifted up to heaven.
That's when the walls of Jericho came crumbling down.
The same God is working today too.
Yes, then we have the chorus -
Step into victory, ...
So make an X-shape. Let's do it again.
Step into Victory, step in the name ...
Your left hand is resting on your chest.
Your right leg out straight to the side.
Step into Victory, step in the name ...
... of the Almighty God.
First on 'Almighty' raise your left arm
Then on 'God' raise your right arm. Then -
Lift up a shout to the Lord.
So that's 3 jumps -
Step into Victory, step in the name ...
of the Almighty God.
Lift up a shout to the Lord.
Then again -
Step into victory. Pray in the Spirit.
'in the name in Jesus ...' so it's: 1-2-3 and 1-2-3
Step into victory.
Pray in the Spirit, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Now lift up your hands.
Ok, let's go through the whole of the chorus.
Step into Victory, step in the name of the Almighty God.
Lift up a shout to the Lord.
Step into victory.
Pray in the Spirit, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Now lift up your hands.
Ok, let's do the chorus with music.
Step into Victory, step in the name of the Almighty God.
Lift up a shout to the Lord.
Step into victory.
Pray in the Spirit, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Now lift up your hands.
Good, then we still have the 3rd verse -
The Red Sea blocks our way.
So it's from left to right 'Red Sea'.
blocks our way
Put your right hand onto the inside of your left arm's elbow
'blocks our way' then step backwards -
the enemy approaches.
It's a bit like I pull myself up here, so it's -
The Red Sea blocks our way,
the enemy approaches.
Raise your rod Moses and the wind will rise,
So imagine you're holding a rod in your hand
and at the same time step out -
Raise your rod Moses...
for 'the wind will rise' you can do this wavy motion -
the wind will rise,
before us opening up the promised land.
For 'before us'- your hands come up by your ears.
before us opening up the promised land.
Let's do this verse again -
The Red Sea blocks our way, the enemy approaches.
Raise your rod Moses and the wind will rise,
before us opening up the promised land.
Then we have the chorus again.
Let's try this verse with music.
The Red Sea blocks our way, the enemy approaches.
Raise your rod Moses and the wind will rise,
before us opening up the promised land.
Well done.

What do you think is the most wonderful thing about prayer?
That God really listens.
For today's prayer time we're in 2 groups, come and join me.
Last time we prayed for people,
who wanted to receive the gift of tongues from God.
I want it. -Yes and I'm sure God will give
it to you soon, specially as you're asking for it.
But Aurora could you tell us what happened to you last time?
When we prayed, I felt that God answered my prayer,
and in some form, I started to speak in tongues.
How did you feel?
At first a bit surprised and then I was very happy about it.
Wow, what a wonderful thing. I believe God wants to give it
to many others who will wait with open hearts for it.
That was lovely to hear.
Today we're thinking about who created the world.
Jesus. -Yes that's true.
What do you think that Jesus can do these days?
On what kind of scale? Erika
Big.
My question is how can we know
what God is doing currently in Finland?
Maris, what do you think?
By praying.
Yes, and because we're Finnish God calls us
to take part in what He is doing in this country.
Let's take a moment to be quiet and listen if God at this time
wants share what He is doing in Finland.
Listen for a moment.
Do you need more time still?
No, well then we could go round.
Markus did anything come to mind?
No. -No. How about Aurora?
Did any thoughts come to mind?
That He wants to heal people.
How about Meri, did you get any thoughts or pictures?
Nothing.
I got an exciting picture with lots of hands lifted up.
I could see them from the wrist upwards.
There were old hands with wrinkles, also children's hands
and adults and young hands.
Different kinds and colours of hands all raised up.
Wow. How about Maris?
Nothing came, it was such a short time.
That He helps children.
I saw a kind of a flame coming from around Jyväskylä,
which is the 'tummy button' or middle of Finland.
Flames were leaving from there onto the whole upper body,
or upper part of Finland was set on fire with God's fire.
Now those that saw pictures or words could pray about them.
Let's go backwards and start with Erika praying first.
Jesus help all the Finnish and other children in this world
to have a good life.
I ask that teenagers will not be descriminated against,
despite their bad behaviour and are able to find work.
Jesus, I ask that You will lift up the hands of this nation
towards You. Everyone.
So that we'll start to long for You here in Finland.
And hopefully You'll also be welcomed into the Finnish
government, the president too.
We ask for that to happen.
When God is allowed to speak into our hearts His dreams and
thoughts and we pray about them,
we become a part of what He's doing and can see great miracles.
Now we just wait and watch and see what He wants to do
and we can join in. Amen.
Blazing Arrows
What are we doing now?
Praying the Lord's blessing for each other, for the week ahead.
The Lord bless you and keep you.
The Lord make His face shine upon You
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn His face towards you
and give you peace.
In the name of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
Amen. (Numbers 6. 24-26)
Wonderful that you joined us.
See you again next time. - What are we doing then?
We're going out with Jesus to be among others.
But now let's go and dance today's dance.
The walls of Jericho rise up before us.
The enemy stops the journey.
Step out you warriors.
Now the army of God will worship Him.
The powers of darkness tremble.
When prayers are lifted up to heaven.
That's when the walls of Jericho came crumbling down.
The same God is working today too.
Step into Victory, step in the name of the Almighty God.
Lift up a shout to the Lord.
