We come before the throne of grace with hearts full of faith, believing in the power of our Lord Jesus Christ to move mightily on our behalf. The Scriptures remind us in Matthew 17:20 that if we have faith as small as a mustard seed, we can say to a mountain, "Move from here to there," and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for us. We stand on this promise, declaring that God is able to open doors that no man can shut, as Revelation 3:8 tells us, "I know your works (behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut), that you have a little power, and kept my word, and didn’t deny my name."
Father, we lift up this request for mighty open doors and justice. We know that You are a God of justice, and in Psalm 37:6, You promise to bring forth our righteousness as the light, and our justice as the noon day sun. We trust in Your perfect timing and Your perfect will. We ask that You would go before us, making the crooked places straight and the rough places smooth, as Isaiah 45:2 declares. We believe that You are working all things together for our good, as Romans 8:28 assures us, for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose.
However, we must also address the importance of coming before You in the name of Jesus Christ. In John 14:6, Jesus Himself tells us, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father and can approach the throne of grace with confidence, as Hebrews 4:16 encourages us. There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved, as Acts 4:12 declares. So, we come before You now, in the mighty name of Jesus, claiming the miracles and open doors that You have prepared for us.
We also rebuke any spirit of doubt or unbelief that may be hindering our faith. In Mark 11:23, Jesus tells us that whoever says to this mountain, "Be taken up and cast into the sea," and does not doubt in their heart, but believes that what they say is happening, it will be done for them. So, we speak to the mountains in our lives, commanding them to move in the name of Jesus. We rebuke the spirit of delay and proclaim that the appointed time has come for our breakthrough, as Habakkuk 2:3 reminds us.
Lord, we ask that You would give us the wisdom and discernment to walk through the doors that You open. Help us to recognize Your hand at work in our lives and to follow Your leading. We pray for divine connections and favor with those who can help us fulfill the purpose and calling that You have placed on our lives. We ask that You would remove any obstacles or hindrances that may be in our way, and that You would grant us the strength and perseverance to press on towards the goal.
We also pray for justice, Lord. We know that You are a God who loves justice and hates robbery and iniquity, as Isaiah 61:8 tells us. We ask that You would bring justice to the oppressed and set the captives free. We pray for those who have been wronged, that You would vindicate them and restore what has been stolen from them. We ask that You would expose the works of darkness and bring them to light, as Ephesians 5:11 encourages us.
Father, we thank You for hearing our prayer and for answering us according to Your will. We trust in Your goodness and Your faithfulness, knowing that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, as Ephesians 3:20 declares. We give You all the glory, honor, and praise, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
