Midday Prayer outside Stadium Australia

The Lord blessed The Sydney Olympic Park with a bright sunny day.
Prayer, blessing the sun, commanding it as that which the Lord has made,
to bring glory to the Lord, and to shine His light
as the sun passes over Homebush Bay , praying that the Lord will shine His light over Greece when it is night in Sydney.
Pastor was prompted to renounce all sun worship
and to proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord
A prayer for overseas friends was recorded on the voicemail 61+2 8250 6771
"The heavens declare the Glory of God"
The Lord has set the Sun in its path
The Lord commanded the sun to shine its light.
The universe was created by the word of God and the word became flesh.
now therefore let the sun as His creation bring glory to His name
as the sun passes over Homebush Bay on its course around the earth, until it passes over Greece , I command the sun to shine forth to the glory of God
now I pray, asking you almighty God to bless the nations
to bind up the broken hearted according to Isaiah 61
and may Jesus Christ be praised."

A prayer to God the Father, maker of heaven and earth
and to Jesus Christ the Son, by whom all things were made

A prayer was prayed, asking the Lord Himself to ignite the torch and to shine His light upon Mount Olympus and the Greek people
and asking the Lord to bless the nations who might see His light, beyond the light of the Olympic Torch
The news reported that in fact there was cloud at Mount Olympus and the torch was lit by a candle, and so the Torch ws not lit by a pagan ceromony. The sun had been reserved for the Glory of God.
Meanwhile it there was light rain
at Homebush Bay.

About 8.00pm, Pastor Graham was still in prayer when he looked up and there was the half moon - reflecting the sun's rays from the early afternoon sun above the clouds over Mount Olympus - the Lord's light had reached Homebush Bay many weeks ahead of the Torch!
