🙏 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 biblical commandment to honor our fathers and mothers, as it is written, "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). This honor extends not only to our immediate parents but to the patriarchal and matriarchal figures in our lives—those who have provided spiritual, emotional, and temporal guidance. We lift them up before You, Father, asking that You pour out Your abundant grace upon them.

Lord, we thank You for the promise in 2 Peter 1:3 that Your divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of You. We ask that You powerfully provide for every need of these beloved figures—spiritually, emotionally, and physically. May their souls prosper even as their bodies and circumstances reflect Your goodness, as it is written, "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers" (3 John 1:2 WEB). Strengthen them in their faith, deepen their understanding of Your Word, and let them grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18 WEB).

We pray that You would establish them in the foundational truths of Scripture, that they may no longer be infants tossed back and forth by every wind of doctrine (Ephesians 4:14 WEB). Open the eyes of their understanding, as Paul prayed, "that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him; having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints" (Ephesians 1:17-18 WEB). Root and ground them in love, that Christ may dwell in their hearts through faith, and that they may be filled with all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:16-19 WEB).

Father, we ask that You would open their minds to understand the Scriptures (Luke 24:45 WEB) and create in them a hunger for Your Word, as newborn babies long for the pure milk of the Word that they may grow thereby (1 Peter 2:2 WEB). Let the Word become flesh in their lives, transforming them into effectual doers of Your will, not merely hearers who deceive themselves (James 1:22 WEB). May this abiding in Your Word lead to deep communion with You, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit (1 John 1:1-3 WEB), bearing the fruit of discipleship as they continue in Your Word (John 8:31 WEB) and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19-20 WEB).

Lord, we stand against every scheme of the enemy that seeks to bring hurt, harm, injury, sickness, sin, or division into their lives. As Jesus taught us to pray, "Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one" (Matthew 6:13 WEB). We ask that You rebuke and restrain evil people and the evil one, as it is written, "For not all have faith. But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and guard you from the evil one" (2 Thessalonians 3:2-3 WEB). Grant them peace within their homes and families, as the psalmist declares, "Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces" (Psalm 122:7 WEB). Even as we pray for the peace of Jerusalem, let Your peace reign in their hearts and lives.

We thank You, Father, that though we are in the world, we are not of it, and we ask that You keep them from the evil one (John 17:15 WEB). Sanctify them in Your truth, for Your Word is truth (John 17:17 WEB). Wash them with the water of Your Word (Ephesians 5:26 WEB), that they may be holy and blameless before You.

We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can approach Your throne and the only name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12 WEB). For there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. May Your will be done in their lives, and may they continue to walk in the light of Your truth, bearing much fruit to the glory of Your name. Amen.
