[Nochaeld]

Strong Leaders Strengthen Families, Churches -- Cause Increase of Christ's Government through Evangelism & Discipleship = Hasten the Day of The Lord, 2 Pet 3:12... May we all "recommit" to each other, to not allow disagreements, rabbit trails, peripherals and selfish motives, and any and all the potential "sidetracks" mostly instigated by the devil and his fellow, fallen nuncios destined for the "Lake of Fire," Matt 25:41 -- for our primary struggle is NOT chiefly nor predominantly "against flesh and blood," Eph 6:10-20, but invisible spirits of evil, who utilizing varied weapons, incites our fallen and "characteristic flesh," (false mindsets and strongholds of the unrenewed mind and false teaching, evil motives and unsanctified goals separate from Christ's goals, teaching and Kingdom).

Make no mistake, be aware and alert, our adversary, since the beginning of hisory, has attempted to "steal, kill, and destroy" the family unit, this "murderer and liar from the beginning, Jn 8:44, in order to mar the image and glory of God (mankind), diminish and delay the testimony and work of God, and "choke the Word" and our lives in order to hinder the advancement of the Kingdom, discipleship, the gospel, advancement and child training by either ruining the family unit, paralyzing church and house fellowship, and to flat out make us miserable (like the ancient and crafty serpent of old and his angels are [expressed by their every recorded interaction with both God and humans throughout the history of the Bible and testimonies of the church reformers and missionaries since antiquity])...

His goal as "adversary" (or satanas, satan), is to hinder and thwart the life and witness and testimony of the Living Christ and His Holy Spirit, whose goal is antithetical to the devils -- that being that "The earth should be filled with the knowledge of the Glory of God as the waters cover the seas (Moses, Isaiah, Habakkuk) and that the gospel be preached throughout the entire world as a testimony to all the nations (ethnos -- ethnic groups [peoples, tribes and tongues], c.f. Revelation 7:9, Daniel 7:14, Isaiah, 1 Cor 15:24-25, 26-27, 28, Matt 24:31, Phil 2:10-11) and disciples be made through preaching, baptism and teaching obedience to all of The Law, Psalms, Prophets, all that Christ Commanded, and until we all attain the unity of the faith and knowledge of the Son of God, Eph 4:10-14, through the church, Eph 3, by a Bride made ready by the washing of the water of the Word, Eph 5:26, sanctified in Truth (God's Word is Truth, Jn 17:17, that has overcome the devil by the Word of their testimony, The Blood of The Lamb, and not fearing death in its proclamation "not loving their life unto death), Rev 12:11. He will, through antichrist, attempt to "wear down," "persecute," and "oppress" the saints of The Most High, Dan 7:25, "But the court will convene, and his dominion will be taken away and completely destroyed forever -- annihilated by the coming of Christ, 2 Thes 2:8, and eventually judged forever and ever, Rev 19:20

Thank You, Father, and you my praying friends, for helping stand with the will of God and covering us in prayer. Keep us from evil people and the evil one, 2 Thes 3:2, Matt 6:13, John 17:15, 1 Jn 5:18, 2 Thes 3:3. May we be granted grace after grace from The Fullness of Jesus, Jn 1:16, and may life work in us all. In the authority of Jesus' Name, Jn 14:13-14, Amen, 2 Cor 1:20.

For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.

We come together in unity, lifting up this discipleship seminar in prayer, seeking the Lord’s guidance and blessing as men and women gather to grow in Christlikeness and strengthen the body of believers. Father, we thank You for the vision of feeding Your flock, as You commanded in Acts 20:28, where Paul exhorted the elders to "Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood." We recognize that strong, godly leadership is essential for the health of families, churches, and the advancement of Your Kingdom.

Lord, we pray that this seminar would be a time of renewal and recommitment, where every participant sets aside distractions, disagreements, and selfish motives—anything that would divert attention from Your purposes. As Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." We rebuke every scheme of the enemy to sow division, pride, or confusion among Your people. May the focus remain solely on Christ and His mission to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching them to obey all that He commanded (Matthew 28:19-20).

We declare that the enemy’s attempts to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10) will not prevail in this gathering. Instead, may the truth of Your Word take root in every heart, equipping leaders to shepherd their families and congregations with wisdom, humility, and love. We pray for protection over every attendee, that they would be kept from the evil one (John 17:15) and walk in the fullness of Christ’s grace (John 1:16). May this seminar ignite a passion for evangelism, discipleship, and the fulfillment of Your promise that the earth will be filled with the knowledge of Your glory (Habakkuk 2:14).

Father, we ask that You would unify Your people in purpose, aligning their hearts with Yours. Let there be no room for rabbit trails or peripheral debates that distract from the Great Commission. Instead, may the Holy Spirit empower every speaker and participant to proclaim the gospel boldly, to teach sound doctrine, and to model Christlike leadership. We pray for marriages and families represented here, that they would be strengthened in faith and commitment to one another, reflecting the sacrificial love of Christ for His Church (Ephesians 5:25).

Lord, we also lift up the global mission of the Church. May this seminar inspire a fresh zeal for reaching the unreached, for making disciples of every nation, tribe, and tongue (Revelation 7:9). We stand against the enemy’s lies that seek to hinder the spread of the gospel, and we declare that Your Word will not return void (Isaiah 55:11). Raise up laborers for the harvest (Matthew 9:38), and may every believer leave this gathering with a renewed sense of calling and urgency.

We thank You, Father, for the authority we have in Jesus’ name to resist the devil and see him flee (James 4:7). We pray that every participant would leave this seminar equipped, encouraged, and emboldened to live out their faith in a way that brings glory to Your name. May the fruit of this time together be evident in transformed lives, stronger churches, and a greater advance of Your Kingdom.

In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
