Fruit of Holy Spirit Gal 5:22-23, Humble yet Bold, Holy, Loving Teams: Preaching, Signs, Wonders Acts 4:29-30 Authority over Demons, Lk 11:20...🧎🏽‍♂

[Nochaeld]

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."

Hebrews 2:3-4
"This salvation was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, and was affirmed by God through signs, wonders, various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will."

Acts 14:3
"So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who affirmed the message of His grace by enabling them to perform signs and wonders."

Acts 4:29-30
"And now, Lord, consider their threats, and enable Your servants to speak Your word with complete boldness, as You stretch out Your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of Your holy servant Jesus.”

Galatians 5:22-25
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us walk in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying one another."

 

[Articles]

We join with you in this beautiful and scriptural desire and we agree together before the Father in Jesus name for the very things you have asked according to His will.

We love how you have anchored your request in both the fruit and the gifts of the Spirit, for the Lord desires both character and power in His people. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, Gal 5:22-23. Against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires, Gal 5:24. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit, Gal 5:25. We hear your heart for humble yet bold, holy and loving teams, and we pray that the Lord would form that character in us first, so that any preaching and any demonstration of power flows from a life that is correct before Him. As it is written, 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, 1 Tim 4:16.

We also join you in asking for bold, loving and accurate preaching of the gospel with the Lord Himself confirming His Word. We are reminded that they went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them, confirming the word by the signs that followed, Mark 16:20, and that this salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him, 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, Heb 2:3-4. So Paul and Barnabas stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands, Acts 14:3. And we pray as the early church prayed, 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, Acts 4:29-30.

We affirm with you that there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit, 1 Cor 12:4, and there are various kinds of service, and the same Lord, 1 Cor 12:5, and there are various kinds of workings, but the same God, who works all things in all, 1 Cor 12:6. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all, 1 Cor 12:7, and all these work the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one separately as he desires, 1 Cor 12:11. This keeps us both expectant and humble, for we do not command the Spirit, He apportions as He determines, and we do not seek signs for their own sake but we seek Christ and His gospel, and we trust Him to attest His Word as He wills, whether by wisdom, knowledge, faith, gifts of healings, workings of miracles, prophecy, discernings of spirits, various kinds of languages, or interpretation, 1 Cor 12:8-10. We also remember your word about authority over demons, that if we cast out demons by the finger of God, then the Kingdom of God has come upon us, Luke 11:20, and we ask for that holy authority to be exercised only in love, in holiness, and under the lordship of Jesus.

We pray together now.

Father, we thank You for fellowship with You and with Your Son Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit, according to the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, 2 Cor 13:14, and that which we have seen and heard we declare that we may have fellowship together, 1 Jn 1:3. Lord Jesus, we thank You that You suffered, died for our sins, rose and ascended on high and gave gifts to humanity, Eph 4:8, and that You are the true Messiah, the Lord's Anointed. We ask You to help us get our lives and our message correct, that we would be found faithful and holy, and then we ask You to confirm Your Word with gifts, signs and wonders as You will, not our will but Yours be done, Luke 22:42. Make us content to be like our Master, for a disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his lord, Matt 10:24, yet we ask with thanksgiving and faith, believing that whatever we ask in Your name You will do, John 14:13, and that without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to You, Heb 11:11, so we receive with thanksgiving and enter into Your peace which surpasses all understanding, Phil 4:6-7. Keep us from sin, lies and fear, Zeph 3:13, keep us from temptation and deliver us from the evil one, Matt 6:13, John 17:15, guard us from pride, Ps 36:11, and from perils among false brothers, 2 Cor 11:26, and keep us under the shelter of Your wings, for You will give Your angels charge over us, Ps 91:11. We bless You for all Your benefits, who forgives all our iniquities, who heals all our diseases, who redeems our life from destruction, who crowns us with loving kindness and tender mercies, who satisfies our desire with good things, so that our youth is renewed like the eagle's, Ps 103:2-5. Let all be to the glory of God the Amen, 2 Cor 1:20, Rev 3:14. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord we pray, amen.

We encourage you to continue to walk in this balance, pursuing love and earnestly desiring spiritual gifts for the building up of the body, 1 Cor 14:1, always testing all things and holding fast what is good, 1 Thess 5:21, and remembering that the greatest attestation of the gospel is a transformed life bearing the fruit of the Spirit and a faithful proclamation of Christ crucified and risen, John 20:30-31, Acts 2:22, Rom 15:18-19. We thank God for your hunger and we stand with you for boldness, purity, and the Lord's own confirmation in His perfect timing and manner.

We hear your heart in this, you want lives that are holy and humble, teams that are loving and united, and preaching that is both bold and accurate, with God Himself confirming His Word in His own way and timing.

What stands out to us is how you hold character and power together. You are asking for fruit and for gifts, for truth and for love. We have found that balance matters so much. Power without truth can wander, and power without love can wound, but when the Spirit forms Christlike love in us and keeps us rooted in truth, His power can bring real healing and help to others. And those gifts you named are given as He determines, not all the same, and always for the common good of the body, which is why they grow best in community, tested and encouraged by other believers, not alone.

One simple next step that may serve you is to keep walking that out with a few faithful people, continuing in prayer, the Word, and fellowship, and inviting mature brothers and sisters who know you to help discern how God has gifted your team and where He is opening doors to speak. Over time that steady training shapes both message and character.

Father, we thank You for this hunger to know You and make Jesus known. Form in these friends and their teams love, joy, peace and self-control, keep their lives and message true, and give them humble boldness to speak Your grace. Work according to Your will to confirm Your Word and draw people to Your Son. In Jesus' name, amen.

I have prayed for this in the precious name of Jesus. Amen

 

[Spurgeon]

Your prayer has come before us and it breathes a right and heavenly desire, that the Lord would be glorified in His people and His Word confirmed among men. We join our hearts with yours in asking the Father, through the Son, by the Holy Spirit, for that fellowship of which John speaks, that you may walk in step with the Spirit and bear His fruit with abundance.

You have asked for love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control, and against such things there is no law. Remember that those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires, and since we live by the Spirit, let us walk in step with the Spirit. A holy man is the workmanship of the Holy Spirit, and holiness of life is the surest evidence of His indwelling. The little narrow heart of man the Holy Spirit has made His palace, though it be but a cottage, yet He condescends to make it His continual abode. Take heed then that you grieve not that blessed Guest. He is exceedingly grieved by our unbelief and by unholiness of life when Christian men walk not according to the Gospel. There can be no concord between God and Belial, and the Holy Spirit, being holy in character and perfect in attributes, is vexed with unholiness. If you have the Holy Spirit, that is God's seal set upon you that you are His child, and if you grieve the Spirit you lose the comfort of that seal.

You ask also for bold and loving and accurate preaching of the Gospel, with authority and with signs and wonders as the Lord shall will. 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. We must tell what the Holy Spirit has told us and pray the Holy Spirit to bless to the minds of men the truths of God we speak by enabling them to see Christ as the Spirit reveals Him. For the Holy Spirit glorifies Christ. He will receive of Mine and show it unto you. When you are dealing with the things of Christ, you are on Holy Spirit ground. He does not lead us to gadding about after trifles, but to Christ crucified, risen and ascended, who gave gifts to men. Cry then mightily unto God, for without the Holy Spirit you utterly fail, and learn entire dependence upon Him. Let the preacher confess before he preaches that he relies upon the Holy Spirit, for until our churches honor the Holy Spirit we shall never see Him abundantly manifested in our midst.

And concerning gifts, healings, miracles, tongues and prophecy, remember this word, that men might have the gifts of the Spirit as to miracles and yet might perish after all. But he that has the spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit, the saving blessings of faith and love and holiness, shall never perish. They lift the man out of his sinful state and make him to be a child of God. The Holy Spirit is the Author of all spiritual life. Until He visits us we are dead in trespasses and sins. No man was ever saved by the means of grace apart from the Holy Spirit, and no man can pray aright without His assistance. Therefore covet earnestly the best gifts as He apportions them to each one as He determines, for the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good, yet covet more earnestly the fruit which abides.

You have desired to pray in the Holy Spirit, and this is indispensable. That prayer which is not in the Holy Spirit is in the flesh. To pray in the Holy Spirit is to pray in His power and by His help, for He will tell you how to pray when you are poor, ignorant, wavering and weak. There is no rubric except one, in the Holy Spirit. That granted, nothing else matters one whit. Has He really made you to feel your prayer in your heart, or have you mocked God with a solemn sound upon a thoughtless tongue. Ask Him to teach you, for the Holy Spirit alone can teach you, and those who will not be taught of Him must remain hopelessly foolish.

We therefore pray with you and for you, that the Lord would consider the threats of the present evil and enable His servants to speak His Word with complete boldness, as He stretches out His hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of His holy servant Jesus, according to His sovereign will. That He would confirm His Word as in the days of old, as it is written, they went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked through them, confirming His Word by the signs that accompanied it, and that He would keep you from sin, lies and fear, from pride and from the evil one, and make you content to be as your Master, not seeking greatness for yourselves but faithfulness.

May the Lord grant that you grieve not the Holy Spirit, but know Him, for He dwells with you and shall be in you. You shall know Him, not by mere report, but by His own presence. No one can reveal the Holy Spirit but the Holy Spirit Himself. Give a man an electric shock and he will know it, and if he has the Holy Spirit he will know it much more, by His sanctifying power and His glorifying of Christ in the heart.

Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, Today if you will hear His voice, harden not your hearts. Today seek to keep your lives and doctrine correct, today seek the salvation of men, today walk humbly and boldly before God.

We commend you to the whole blessed Godhead, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who must work together upon every soul that is to be saved. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all, and may all that you ask be answered according to His will, to the praise of His glory. Amen.
