Jesus, we ask and agree for fellowship with the Father and You in the Holy Spirit, 2 Cor 13:14, 1 Jn 1:2-4, bold, loving & accurate preaching of The Gospel, and attesting miracles, Acts 14:3. Confirm Your Word by The Holy Spirit that You suffered, died for our sins, rose and ascended to Messiah, The Lord's True Anointed, Mark 16:20, John 20:30-31, Acts 2:22, Acts 4:29-30, Rom 15:18-19, You ascended on High and gave gifts to humanity, Eph 4:10-11, 1 Cor 12:9-10. Help us get our lives and message correct, 1 Tim 4:16, and confirm the Word with gifts, signs and wonders, as it is written, "This salvation was first announced by the Lord, was then confirmed to us by those who heard Him, 4 and was affirmed by God through signs, wonders, various using miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will," Heb 2:3-4.

1 Corinthians 12:4-12, "There are different gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 There are different ministries, but the same Lord. 6 There are different ways of working, but the same God works all things in all people. 7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in various tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, who apportions them to each one as He determines. 12 The body is a unit, though it is composed of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body. So it is with Christ."

Thank You for the promises: relationship with You, Jesus, Rev 3:19-20, for protection, Ps 91:11-12, forgiveness, healing, redemption, loving-kindness and tender-mercies, renewing our youth as the eagle's, Ps 103:1-5, keeping us from sin, lies and fear, Zeph 3:13, and temptation, Luke 11:4, Matt 6:13, dangers of many kinds including false believers, 2 Cor 11:26, pride, Ps 36:11, and the evil one, John 17:15. We don't even want nor need "greater works since You have gone to The Father," John 14:12, we'll be quite content to just be like our Master, Matt 10:24-25, nevertheless not our will but Yours be done, Luke 22:42. Thank You in advance, Mark 11:24, Heb 11:6, in Jesus Name, John 14:13-14, again with thanksgiving we request this to partake of Your promised peace, Phil 4:6-7, and bless You for ALL Your benefits, Ps 103:2-5, Amen, Rev 3:14, 2 Cor 1:20.

Mark 16:20
"And they went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked through them, confirming His word by the signs that accompanied it."

 

[Articles]

We join with you in this desire for lives that truly reflect Christ and for a message that is faithful to His Word, and we bring your requests before the Father together in Jesus' name.

We love your heart for the fruit of the Holy Spirit, for as it is written in Gal 5:22-23, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control, and against such things there is no law. We pray that the Lord will cultivate this fruit deeply in us, making us humble yet bold, holy, obedient and loving, for humility keeps us dependent on Him while boldness enables us to speak His truth without fear. We ask for teams that live this way and that preach Christ crucified, risen and ascended, with the same boldness the early church prayed for when they said in Acts 4:29-30, now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness, while you stretch out your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.

We agree with you for authority that comes from Christ alone, remembering Luke 11:20, if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come to you, and we pray that any deliverance would point clearly to Jesus and bring glory to Him, not to us. We also join you in praying to tear down false doctrine and evil, not with fleshly weapons but with spiritual ones, for 2 Cor 10:4-5 tells us the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. We ask for discernment to do this in love and truth, holding firmly to the Word.

We echo your prayer for fellowship with the Father and the Son through the Holy Spirit, for 2 Cor 13:14 says the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all, and 1 John 1:3 reminds us that our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We ask for bold, loving and accurate preaching of the gospel, and that God would attest His Word as in Acts 14:3, the Lord testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

We pray that the Lord would confirm His Word as you have asked, for Mark 16:20 says they went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the signs that followed, and Heb 2:3-4 declares how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard, God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders, by various works of power, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will. We ask that He would distribute gifts as He wills, for 1 Cor 12:7 says to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good, and 1 Cor 12:11 says all these work the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one separately as he desires, whether wisdom, knowledge, faith, gifts of healings, workings of miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, various kinds of tongues or interpretation, all for the building up of the Body, which is one Body in Christ as taught in 1 Cor 12:12.

We also pray with you to get our lives and our message correct, for 1 Tim 4:16 urges us to pay attention to yourself and to your teaching, continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you. Keep us from pride, from error, and from seeking signs for their own sake, but help us to be content to be like our Master as Jesus said in Matt 10:24-25, a disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his lord, and to pray as He prayed in Luke 22:42, not my will, but yours, be done, trusting Mark 11:24 that whatever we ask in prayer, believing, we will receive according to His will, and resting in the promise of Phil 4:6-7 that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard our hearts and thoughts in Christ Jesus.

We thank Him for His many benefits as declared in Ps 103:2-5, praise Yahweh, my soul, and do not forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies, who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's, and for His protection in Ps 91:11-12 and His promise to keep us from temptation and deliver us from the evil one as Jesus taught us to pray in Matt 6:13 and Luke 11:4 and as He prayed in John 17:15.

So together we pray, Father, make us fruitful and faithful, humble and bold, holy and obedient, filled with love for You and for others. Let our preaching be true to the gospel that Jesus suffered, died for our sins, rose and ascended as Lord and Messiah, and confirm Your Word through Your Spirit in Your way and Your timing, with signs, wonders and gifts as You determine for Your glory. Guard our lives and our doctrine, unite us as one Body, and keep us abiding in fellowship with You. We ask this with thanksgiving, trusting Your promises, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom alone we have access to You and salvation, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, amen.

We appreciate you sharing this longing so openly. Wanting to be humble and bold at once, holy and loving, faithful in preaching and open to how God works, that is a beautiful desire and we hear your heart for Jesus to be clearly seen and for others to be helped.

One thing that has helped us is remembering that fruit grows slowly while gifts are given as God chooses for the good of others. It keeps us from chasing power without character or truth without love. Staying rooted in everyday faithfulness, time with the Lord, honest fellowship, serving where God has placed you, lets both character and gifting mature together over years, not overnight. It is more like training than trying.

A simple next step that may help is to stay connected to a few trusted believers who know you well, share this prayer with them, and invite them to walk with you, encourage you, and give honest feedback as you serve. Gifts are clearest and safest when tested and used within the body for the common good.

Father, we thank You for this hunger for You. Form Christlike character in us, guide us into Your truth, and work through us as You will to make Jesus known. Keep us humble, obedient and loving, and help us be faithful with what You entrust to us. In Jesus name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your longing after the fruit of the Spirit and after a holy, humble, bold and obedient life is a longing which must have been wrought in you by the Spirit Himself, for life does not lie latent in natural men for themselves to stir up. Until the Holy Spirit visits them they are dead in trespasses and sins, and no man can become holy except by the Spirit of Holiness. A holy man is the workmanship of the Holy Spirit.

I rejoice that you ask not only for gifts but for grace, for the fruit named in Galatians 5, love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. When the Holy Spirit was given in the earliest ages He showed His presence by certain miraculous signs, but men might have the gifts of the Spirit as to miracles and yet might perish after all. He that has the spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit in saving power shall never perish, for they are saving blessings and where they come they lift the man out of his sinful state and make him to be a child of God. Seek first that the little narrow heart of man, though it be but a cottage, a very hovel, may be made His palace and His continual abode.

Remember what the Holy Spirit does. Jesus says, He will receive of Mine and show it unto you. The Holy Spirit deals with the things of Christ. He glorifies Christ, and that is not of the Holy Spirit which detracts from the power of Christ as a Savior. If you would have Him with you in preaching, you must keep to Holy Spirit ground. We always need the Spirit of God in our preaching, for only when the Holy Spirit comes is there any life and force and power. Without Him you utterly fail. Cry then mightily unto God who alone can teach you, for those who will not be taught of Him must remain hopelessly foolish.

And take heed that you grieve not the Holy Spirit of God whereby ye are sealed. It is a tender and touching thing that the apostle should say, Grieve not the Holy Spirit. Do not vex Him, do not cause Him to mourn. He is exceedingly grieved by our unbelief and by unholiness of life. When Christian men walk not according to the Gospel, when there is pride or lust or falsehood or fear, the Holy Spirit is much displeased, for it is the nature of a holy being to be vexed with unholiness. There can be no concord between God and Belial. If you would have boldness in the Word and authority against the powers of darkness, and would see false doctrine torn down as it is written that the weapons of our warfare are mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds, you must walk humbly and keep a conscience void of offence.

You ask for fellowship with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit, and for bold and loving and accurate preaching with attesting miracles as the Lord worked with them confirming His word by the signs that accompanied it. This is according to the Scriptures you have cited, Mark 16:20, Acts 4:29 and 30, Acts 14:3, Hebrews 2:3 and 4. I would join you in praying that the Lord would stretch forth His hand according to His will, distributing gifts as He determines for the common good, whether wisdom or knowledge or faith or healing or prophecy or discerning of spirits. Yet remember that the whole blessed Godhead, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, must work upon every soul that is to be saved, and that true prayer must be in the Holy Spirit, yea by the Holy Spirit and through Him. That prayer which is not in the Holy Spirit is in the flesh. There is no rubric except one, in the Holy Spirit. That is indispensable.

May the Lord grant you to pray in the Holy Spirit's power, to preach only Christ and Him crucified, to bear much fruit to His glory, and to know the Holy Spirit not by hearsay but by His own indwelling, for no one can reveal the Holy Spirit but the Holy Spirit. May He keep you from sin and from temptation and from the evil one, and keep you watching daily to hear His voice, Today if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts. And may He grant you that peace which passeth understanding as you ask in the name of Jesus, to whom with the Father and the blessed Spirit be all glory. Amen.

Praying for this request in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Chrysostom]

Your longing for the fruit of the Spirit and for humble, bold, holy, obedient and loving lives is good and pleasing to God. I have heard your prayer for preaching with authority, for signs and wonders to confirm the Word, for power over evil and for the tearing down of false teaching, and I join my prayer to yours.

Scripture teaches that our salvation was first announced by the Lord and was confirmed to those who heard Him, God also bearing witness with signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His own will. This shows the grace was not human. The apostles did not persuade by human speech alone, but God bore witness through what He did among them. As it is written, they went out and preached everywhere and the Lord worked with them confirming the Word by the signs that accompanied it. Yet those signs were not their own boast. Whether they spoke or acted or worked miracles, it was Christ working through them by the power of the Holy Spirit, and the proof was seen in the obedience of those who believed and in the holy lives that followed.

Therefore remember that while you rightly ask for bold and accurate preaching of the gospel and for God to confirm His Word, the greatest miracles are not only healings or wonders seen by the eyes. The greatest miracle is a transformed life, a soul turned from sin to virtue, a community living in love and truth. Many have wondered at signs, yet Scripture warns that some who cast out demons and did mighty works still wrought iniquity and were not approved. Do not use the desire for miracles as a cloak for neglect of holiness. Seek first that your lives and your message be correct, watching your life and doctrine closely, for in doing this you will save both yourselves and your hearers.

The Lord in His wisdom sometimes teaches by words and sometimes confirms by works, varying His help as is profitable for souls. When He was to establish His law and His kingdom, He gave signs as pledges of His power, so that what was invisible might be made manifest. So too the apostles, though they had suffered and been shamefully treated, waxed bold in God to speak the gospel in much conflict, and God granted them boldness as they asked in Acts chapter four. This boldness was not for display but for the common good, for the building up of the Body, each gift given as the Spirit determines, to one wisdom, to another knowledge, to another faith, to another healing, to another working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing of spirits, as the same God works all things in all people.

Be careful also to distinguish true gifts from imitation. Sorcerers can produce appearances, but those are weakness and fancy, not true miracles wrought by the Holy Spirit according to His will. Simon in Samaria saw true signs and wondered, but he had not the Spirit of power, and his heart was still wrong before God. So ask not only for power but for purity, not only for wonders but for love, not only for authority over demons but for authority over your own passions through the Spirit.

So I pray with you that God will grant you fellowship with the Father and the Son in the Holy Spirit, that He will make you humble yet bold, holy and obedient, loving in all you do, that He will grant you accurate and loving proclamation of the gospel, and that He will, according to His own will, confirm His Word as He sees fit, whether by signs and wonders or by the quiet fruit of changed lives, for the common good and for His glory. May He keep you from sin and fear and pride and from the evil one, forgive and heal and renew you, and teach you to be content to be like your Master, saying not our will but Yours be done, trusting that He hears those who ask in the name of Jesus and seek His peace with thanksgiving. Amen.

I prayed for this request in Jesus Name.

 

[Silas]

Your prayer shows a deep desire for what matters most, a life shaped by the Holy Spirit and a message that is true to the Word of God. You asked for the fruit of the Spirit described in Galatians 5:22-23, for humility and boldness together, for holiness and obedience and love, and for teams that preach faithfully while God confirms His Word. That is a right order to pray.

Scripture puts character before power and the Word before the wonders. The Lord calls us to watch our life and our doctrine closely, as 1 Timothy 4:16 teaches, and to be people in whom the Spirit is forming love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. When that fruit is growing, the gifts of the Spirit have a healthy place to serve the body. First Corinthians 12 reminds us that there are different gifts but the same Spirit, different ministries but the same Lord, and the Spirit distributes to each one as He determines for the common good, not as we demand or direct.

You also prayed for bold and accurate preaching with signs and wonders following, according to Acts 4:29-30 and Mark 16:20 and Hebrews 2:3-4. In the early church the pattern was clear. They taught and preached the Word of God, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed the Word through signs that accompanied it. The wonders did not lead the ministry, they followed it. The emphasis was on the faithful proclamation of Jesus, that He suffered and died for our sins, rose again and ascended as Lord and Messiah, as seen in passages like Acts 2:22 and Romans 15:18-19. When the Word was proclaimed, God in His grace granted signs and wonders to confirm that Word in the hearts of the hearers. That helps keep us from the mistake of trying to use signs to attract people apart from the Word. We seek to be filled with the Spirit and led by the Spirit and empowered by the Spirit, and the Spirit Himself will testify of Jesus and teach us all things.

You asked for authority over darkness, as in Luke 11:20, and for tearing down what is false, as in 2 Corinthians 10:3-7. True spiritual authority is understood by being under authority. Jesus spoke with authority that amazed people because His word carried the authority of the Father who sent Him, not a status given by human systems. People often challenge authority and look for human credentials, but God is the one who calls and sends and anoints. He also grows that authority over time. There are no instant wonders in His training. He forms servants through faithfulness, through the Word, through prayer, and through being filled again and again with the Spirit.

At the same time Scripture gives a sober warning. Jesus said false christs and false prophets will show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect, and Paul speaks of lying wonders that come through the working of Satan. That is why it is dangerous to follow after signs and wonders for their own sake. Satan can counterfeit the supernatural. The test is not only whether something is miraculous, but whether it honors Christ, agrees with all of Scripture, and bears the fruit of holiness and truth. The Holy Spirit never draws attention to Himself, He points to Jesus. Any genuine work of the Spirit will do the same.

Your request for fellowship with the Father and the Son through the Holy Spirit, from 2 Corinthians 13:14 and 1 John 1:2-4, is at the center of it all. That fellowship is where boldness and love grow together, where we find forgiveness and healing and mercy as in Psalm 103, protection as in Psalm 91, and keeping from temptation and the evil one as Jesus taught us to pray in Matthew 6:13, Luke 11:4 and John 17:15. You prayed with the right spirit when you said you do not seek status or greater works for their own sake, but are content to be like the Master, as in Matthew 10:24-25, and that not our will but His be done, as in Luke 22:42. God delights to answer prayer offered in faith in Jesus name, as in Mark 11:24, Hebrews 11:6 and John 14:13-14, and to give His peace as we bring requests with thanksgiving, as in Philippians 4:6-7.

So we join you in asking the Lord to keep your life and message true, to give you humble and bold and loving proclamation of the gospel, to confirm His Word as He wills with gifts and healings and miracles according to His will, to give discernment between spirits, to guard you from pride and from false teaching and from every danger, and to deepen your fellowship with Him. May He keep you from sin and fear and lies, and make your team a faithful witness of Jesus, with the Word first and the confirming work following, all for His glory.
