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.

"The grace of The Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of The Holy Spirit, be with you all." 2 Cor 13:14.

Matthew 28:19-20
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in The Name of the Father and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

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 holy and humble cry and we say amen to your desire for both the fruit and the gifts of the Holy Spirit, for character and for power, for holiness and for boldness together.

We rejoice that you are seeking what God desires to give, that we would walk in love and truth and that His Word would be confirmed with power. The Scripture says in Galatians 5:22-23, But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. And we know that without this fruit, gifts become empty noise. So we first ask the Lord to form Christ in us, to make us humble yet bold, holy and obedient, loving as teams who serve together for His glory.

We also hear your heart for bold, accurate preaching of the Gospel with signs and wonders following, just as the early church prayed 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 that as we preach Christ who suffered, died for our sins, rose and ascended as the true Anointed One, God would stretch forth His hand to heal and to deliver. As Jesus said in Luke 11:20, But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come to you, so we ask for that same authority, not for our fame but that the Kingdom would be manifest and Jesus would be glorified.

We also stand with you to tear down false doctrine and evil, not with fleshly striving but with spiritual weapons. For the Scripture says in 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, for 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 the Lord to give us discernment to distinguish between spirits and to speak the truth in love, that error would be exposed and souls would be set free.

We love your prayer for fellowship with the Father and the Son in the Holy Spirit. We claim with you 2 Corinthians 13:14, The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all, and 1 John 1:3, that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We thank God that this salvation was first announced by the Lord, was then 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 as it is written in Hebrews 2:3-4.

We pray now together in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through His name that we have access to the Father and it is in His name alone that we are saved, as it is written in John 14:6, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me, and in Acts 4:12, There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved.

Father, in the name of Jesus we come before Your throne of grace with thanksgiving. We thank You for Your promises of relationship with You, for protection, for forgiveness, healing, redemption, loving kindness and tender mercies, and for keeping us from sin and fear and temptation and the evil one. We ask You to conform us to the image of Your Son. Cultivate in us the fruit of Your Spirit in increasing measure. Make us holy as You are holy, obedient to all You have commanded, and keep us humble under Your mighty hand while making us bold as lions to speak Your Word. Grant to us as Your servants to preach Your Word with all boldness and love and accuracy, and confirm Your Word with signs and wonders and gifts of healings, workings of miracles, prophecy, and discerning of spirits as Your Spirit apportions to each one as He determines according to 1 Corinthians 12:4-11, for the common good and the building up of the body of Christ, which is one body though it has many parts. Give us authority in Jesus name over demons and over every work of darkness, and use us to tear down what is false and to build up what is true. Help us to watch our lives and doctrine closely and to persevere in them according to 1 Timothy 4:16, so that we might save both ourselves and our hearers. We do not seek greater works for our own sake, we are content to be like our Master as He said in Matthew 10:25, It is enough for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant like his lord, yet not our will but Yours be done. Let Your will be done in us and through us, Lord. And we thank You in advance by faith, believing we have received what we ask according to Mark 11:24, that Your peace which surpasses all understanding will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus according to Philippians 4:6-7.

We thank You that You ascended on high and gave gifts to humanity according to Ephesians 4:10-11, and that as we go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey all that You have commanded, You are with us always, even to the end of the age according to Matthew 28:19-20. So we go forth trusting Your promise in Mark 16:20, They went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the signs that followed. Let it be so among us now for Your glory alone. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ we pray, amen.

We hear your hunger to walk closely with Jesus and to serve Him with a humble, holy and faithful life. Your desire to see both character and witness grow together, to speak the gospel with love and accuracy and to see God work in ways that point people to Christ, is encouraging and we are grateful to pray with you in it.

What has helped us is remembering that God shapes us over time. He gives gifts as He chooses for the good of others, while character is grown slowly as we stay yielded to Him. Power is most helpful when it stays woven together with truth and love, and that kind of balance is formed in ordinary faithfulness, staying filled with the Spirit, staying in the Word, and staying in honest fellowship where others know us well.

It may help to keep walking this out with a small team or a trusted pastor who can pray with you regularly, help test what you are hearing and sharing, and encourage you in both boldness and humility. Spiritual growth is more like training than trying, small faithful steps over a long road that God uses to make us more like Christ.

Father, we thank You for the hunger You have placed in this heart for You. Draw them deeper into fellowship with You, form Your love, joy, peace and patience more fully in daily life, and guide their words and steps according to Your will. Keep them humble and faithful and lead them in Your truth and grace. In Jesus name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your earnest request for the fruit of the Spirit and for humble yet bold and holy obedience in the service of Christ is a prayer in which we most heartily join.

We rejoice to hear a people desiring not novelty but faithfulness, that your lives and your message may be found correct according to 1 Timothy 4:16, and that you would preach the Gospel with love and accuracy. Originality of doctrine finds no sanction in the Saviour's ministry, for true ministers repeat what they are told and have not to manufacture a Gospel, but to proclaim that which God has already given. May the Lord keep you in that old and sure way, teaching as you are able to hear, and yet pressing into the inner chambers of His truth to dwell there.

You ask for boldness in preaching and for signs and wonders to confirm the Word, according to Acts 4:29-30 and Mark 16:20 and Hebrews 2:3-4. We worship the God of wonders who only does wondrous things, and we have a Saviour whose name is called Wonderful, a Man approved of God by signs and wonders. In the Church we are permitted to expect wonders, and we should wonder if wonders do not happen, for the history of grace is a long list of miracles. Yet remember also that the flesh being weak, God in infinite tenderness gave signs to strengthen His servants, and doubtless if again there should come a necessity for such tokens they would be given. Signs have been given and yet have not worked faith in those who have seen them, and there is no necessary connection between seeing signs and believing. The Gospel itself is the greatest of signs and wonders, and you need no other proof than souls saved by it, your own sons and daughters and neighbours transformed by free, rich and sovereign grace. Therefore we pray that the Lord would grant you boldness to speak His Word, and that He would work with you as seemeth good to Him, distributing gifts of the Spirit as He determines according to 1 Corinthians 12, for the common good and not for display, whether by wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy or discerning of spirits.

We join you in asking for authority over the powers of darkness through Christ, as in Luke 11:20, and for grace to tear down false doctrine and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, as in 2 Corinthians 10:3-7. This warfare is not after the flesh, but mighty through God, and it is to be carried on with the meekness and gentleness of Christ, with holy lives that adorn the doctrine.

May the Lord grant you fellowship with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit, according to 2 Corinthians 13:14 and 1 John 1:2-4. May He keep you from sin and fear and pride and temptation, and from the evil one, and cause you to know forgiveness, healing, redemption and lovingkindness as in Psalm 103, and to be kept blameless. We pray that you may be content to be as your Master, according to Matthew 10:24-25, not seeking greater works for their own sake, but submitting in all things to His will as in Luke 22:42, and that whatsoever you ask in the name of Jesus you may receive with thanksgiving and know His peace that passes all understanding according to Philippians 4:6-7.

We commend you to the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, praying that you may go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey all that He has commanded, assured that He is with you always, even to the end of the age.

[Chrysostom]

Your longing for holiness and for faithful witness to Christ is good and right, and I join my prayer to yours before the Father.

I ask with you for the fellowship of the Father and the Son in the Holy Spirit, that grace and love and communion spoken of in 2 Corinthians 13:14 would be real and steady in your life and in your teams. May the Lord form in you the fruit of the Spirit named in Galatians 5, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control, and keep you both humble and bold. The Spirit is gentle as a dove, a Spirit of meekness, yet He also makes the fearful bold to speak the word without fear, even when there are bonds and hindrances.

I pray that He will make you holy and obedient and loving in all your work together, and that your preaching would bear much fruit. To bear fruit is the glory of the Father, and he who bears fruit shows himself to be a disciple. May your labor in the word be lightened by seeing that fruit, fields waving with a harvest for Christ, as you watch over both your life and your doctrine according to 1 Timothy 4:16.

I ask the Lord to grant you bold, loving and accurate preaching of the gospel, not with persuasive words of human wisdom alone, but with demonstration of the Spirit and of power. As it is written, salvation was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed 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. So I pray in the spirit of Acts 4:29-30 and Mark 16:20, that the Lord would stretch out His hand and confirm His word as He wills, for the common good and for the building up of the body, where there are different gifts but the same Spirit, different ministries but the same Lord.

I ask also for discernment and authority to stand against evil and to tear down false doctrine and teaching, not with fleshly weapons but with truth, contending for the faith with meekness and firmness. May the Lord keep you from sin, from lies and fear, from pride and from the evil one, and protect you from dangers of many kinds, including false believers. May He forgive, heal, redeem, and crown you with loving kindness and tender mercy, and renew your strength.

I pray that you would be content to be like your Master, not seeking greatness for its own sake, but saying with Christ, not my will but Yours be done, and that whatever measure of greater works God grants would serve only to make Christ known, that He suffered, died for our sins, rose and ascended as the true Anointed One, and that He gives gifts to His people.

May the Lord teach you to pray with thanksgiving, to receive His peace that guards heart and mind, and to remember all His benefits. May He make you faithful in going and making disciples, baptizing and teaching them to obey all that He commanded, trusting His promise that He is with you always, even to the end of the age. In the name of Jesus I ask this, amen.

[Silas]

Your prayer reflects a sincere hunger for what God desires to form in His people, and that is good to see. The longing for the fruit of the Spirit described in Galatians 5:22-23, for a life that is humble yet bold, holy, obedient and loving, and for teams that preach the gospel faithfully while God confirms His Word, is a biblical longing. God is pleased when we ask for these things.

Scripture teaches that there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit, diversities of ministries but the same Lord, and diversities of workings but the same God who works all things in all people. To each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. The list in 1 Corinthians 12 is not exhaustive, and Romans 12 adds others, but the principle is clear. The Holy Spirit is sovereign in how He distributes gifts. He apportions to each one as He determines, and not everyone has all the gifts. One may have gifts of healing, another prophecy, another distinguishing between spirits, another tongues or interpretation, but no single believer possesses them all. Even in the early church, some had certain gifts and not others, yet all were members of the one body and each gift was important for the whole.

Because the Spirit is sovereign, we are not to demand a particular gift, yet Scripture also says to desire earnestly the best gifts. The best gifts are discerned by the need in your life and the ministry God has called you to fulfill. It is right to ask the Father for the Holy Spirit and to ask for gifts that will build up the church and make Christ known. Jesus said the Father gives the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him, and that the Spirit when He comes will not speak of Himself but will testify of Jesus and teach us all things. Any true exercise of the gifts will point to Jesus, who suffered, died for our sins, rose again and ascended on high, and gave gifts to His people.

Remember also what is taught in 1 Corinthians 13. Love is superior to the gifts and it endures when the gifts, which are needed for this present time, will pass away. The presence of a gift in someone's life is not proof that the person is especially holy or more spiritual. Gifts can be misused as a novelty or a way to exalt self, but they are given to edify the church and to confirm the message of salvation. That message was first announced by the Lord, then confirmed by those who heard Him, and God bore witness with signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His will, as Hebrews 2:3-4 and Mark 16:20 describe.

So continue to seek first the fruit of the Spirit and a life of love, for love never fails and love builds up the body. Seek unity, for the body is one though it has many parts, and each part is needed. Pray for boldness to speak the Word accurately and lovingly, as in Acts 4:29-30 and Acts 14:3, and trust God to confirm His Word as He wills, whether through preaching, through deliverance in the authority of Jesus as in Luke 11:20, or through tearing down false arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God as in 2 Corinthians 10:3-5.

We join you in prayer that the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit will be with you, that you will walk in forgiveness, protection, healing and renewal as God promises in passages like Psalm 103, that you will be kept from temptation, pride and the schemes of the evil one, and that your life and message will be sound. May the Lord dispense to you and to those laboring with you whatever gifts of His Spirit will give a stronger witness to the resurrection of Jesus and serve the common good, and may all be done in love for the building up of Christ's body.
