🙏 Blessing & Honor of Patriarchal and Matriarchal Figures, Eph 6:2-3... Spiritual, Emotional, Physical & Temporal Edification, Support, Fruitfulness

[Nochaeld]

Blessing, Honor, GRACE for Patriarchal and Matriarchal Figures... Father, thank You for commanding us to honor our parents, Eph 6:1-3 -- for all Family, Powerfully provide everything they need for life and godliness, 2 Peter 1:3, emotional & bodily health and prosperity, even as their souls prosper, 3 Jn 1:2. We ask they GROW in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, 2 Pet 3:18. Help them be established in the elementary principles of the Word of God, Heb 5:12, the foundational doctrines of the faith, Heb 6:1-3, and grow up into maturity, Eph 4:15, Col 1:10, culminating in love and fullness of the Holy Spirit's fruit, Phil 1:9-11; Gal 5:22-23.

Open the eyes of our understanding with The Holy Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation, Eph 1:17-18, strengthen us by rooting and grounding us in love, that Christ dwells in our hearts by faith, Eph 3:16-19, and open our minds to not only understand the Scriptures, Luke 24:45, but to crave the sincere milk of the Word, 1 Peter 2:2, that we may grow thereby. And help let the Word become flesh, help us receive FRESH TRUTHS and retain the Word, being effectual doers, not merely hearers, James 1:21-22. May this result in abiding communion with YOU, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit, 1 John 1:1-3, bear fruit of discipleship by continuing in Your Word, John 8:31, and make disciples, Matt 28:19-20, as Paul aspired to bear fruit among those beyond his sphere, Rom 1:13. Let us all taste the goodness of answered prayer by abiding in You and Your Words abiding in us, John 15:7-8 and make our joy complete, John 15:24.

Keep them and us from hurt, harm, injury, sickness, sin and satan, Matt 6:13, and rebuke and restrain evil people and the evil one, 2 Thes 3:2-3, especially their neighbor they pray for and endeavor to love, Lk 6:27. Grant peace to be within their walls, Ps 122:7, even as we pray for the peace of Jerusalem, Ps 122:6, take us not out of the world, but keep us from the evil one, John 17:15, as You sanctify us in the truth of Your Word, John 17:17, wash us with the Water of The Word, Eph 5:26.

Thank You and you all in Jesus' Name

We come before the throne of grace with hearts full of gratitude for the reminder to honor our patriarchal and matriarchal figures, as Scripture commands: *"Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with a promise: 'that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth'"* (Ephesians 6:2-3 WEB). Father, we lift up our parents, grandparents, and all who have spiritually and naturally nurtured us. You have promised that those who honor their parents will prosper in life, and we claim that promise now.

We pray for spiritual, emotional, physical, and temporal edification for these beloved figures in our lives. Lord, You have given us *everything we need for life and godliness* through the knowledge of Christ (2 Peter 1:3 WEB). We ask that You powerfully provide for their every need—health, strength, peace, and prosperity—even as their souls prosper (3 John 1:2 WEB). May they grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18 WEB), being firmly established in the foundational truths of Your Word (Hebrews 5:12, 6:1-3 WEB). Let them mature in faith, walking in love and bearing the full fruit of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:15, Galatians 5:22-23 WEB).

Holy Spirit, open the eyes of our understanding with wisdom and revelation (Ephesians 1:17-18 WEB). Root and ground us in love so that Christ may dwell in our hearts by faith (Ephesians 3:16-19 WEB). Lord Jesus, open our minds to understand the Scriptures (Luke 24:45 WEB) and give us a hunger for Your Word, that we may grow thereby (1 Peter 2:2 WEB). Let the Word become flesh in us—not just heard, but lived out as doers of Your truth (James 1:21-22 WEB). May this lead to deep communion with You, bearing fruit in discipleship as we abide in You and Your words abide in us (John 15:7-8 WEB). Make our joy complete as we walk in obedience and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19-20 WEB).

We plead the blood of Jesus over our families, rebuking every scheme of the enemy. Deliver us from hurt, harm, sickness, sin, and Satan (Matthew 6:13 WEB). Restrain evil people and the evil one (2 Thessalonians 3:2-3 WEB), especially those who may oppose or seek to harm our loved ones. Grant peace within our homes (Psalm 122:7 WEB) and let Your truth sanctify us (John 17:17 WEB), washing us with the water of Your Word (Ephesians 5:26 WEB). Keep us in the world but guard us from the evil one (John 17:15 WEB).

Father, we thank You for the privilege of coming before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the only name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12 WEB). There is no other mediator between God and man—only Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB). We declare that every blessing, honor, and grace we seek flows from Him alone. May our families walk in the fullness of Your promises, honoring You in all things. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

We join you in lifting up our patriarchal and matriarchal figures before the throne of grace. Let's intercede together, asking for spiritual, emotional, physical, and temporal blessings upon them. May they grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, being established in the foundational truths of His Word, and maturing in love and bearing the fruit of the Holy Spirit. We ask for wisdom and revelation to open our understanding, and for our minds to hunger for the Word, that we may grow thereby. Let's also pray for protection from harm, sickness, sin, and the enemy, and for peace within their homes. We thank You, Father, for the privilege of coming before You in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.
