We join you in lifting up these urgent needs to our Heavenly Father, seeking His intervention and guidance in every area of your life and the lives of others.
Firstly, we pray for the Lord's extra strong protection and breakthrough for you and all in need. We stand on God's promise in Psalm 91:1-2, "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.'"
We ask for encouragement, help, and wisdom concerning the decision you need to make. James 1:5 reminds us, "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him."
We intercede for the Lord's anointing on all the planned outreaches and services, that His Word may go forth with power. "And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, 'All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen.'" Matthew 28:18-20
Regarding the conflict with your sister in Christ, we pray for resolution and conviction. Matthew 18:15-17 guides us, "Moreover if your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother. But if he doesn't listen, take with you one or two more, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector."
We pray for a Christian home for the one in need, and we ask God to confront and convict those involved in evil. We also pray for healing and salvation for all involved. Then the word of Yahweh came to Jonah the second time, saying, "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I give you." Jonah 3:1-2 "The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." 2 Peter 3:9
In your weakness, we ask for God's strength and grace. "Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me." 2 Corinthians 12:9
We lift up the persecuted Christians and pray for their salvation, peace for Israel, help for those suffering in war zones, from calamities, abused children, and many other requests. We remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:10-12, "Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you."
Finally, we thank Jesus Christ for His ability to do exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond what we ask or think. Ephesians 3:20-21, "Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen."
We thank you for asking in Jesus Christ name. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Acts 4:12 "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
If there is any area in your life that does not align with biblical principles, we urge you to repent and turn to God, seeking His will above all else.
