🎪 Revival, Washed by Word to Be Pure Bride 👰 Eph 5:26-33, Sanctification of Holy Spirit 💦Heb 12:14, 💫 Ministry of Reconciliation 2 Cor 5:19🫂...

[Nochaeld]

Father, we thank You for the testimony of past revivals and even reformations, for revivalists and reformers, patriarchs, apostles and prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, Eph 4:11-15. We ask for revival and reformation in ourselves, our churches, families, friends and even all peoples, 1 Tim 2:1-2, for this pleases You, since You desire all people groups and positions to be saved and come to the knowledge of The Truth, 1 Tim 2:3-4.

Jesus, revive and reform us, our pastors, leaders, churches, cities, Jer 29:7, regions, states, nations, 1 Tim 2:1-4. Indeed as You live, let all the earth be filled with Your glory, Numbers 11:24, Ps 72:19, even as the waters cover the seas, Isa 11:9. Hab 2:14. Shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, 2 Cor 4:6, enlighten the eyes of our understanding, Eph 1:17-18, to LOVE You with ALL our heart, soul, mind, will, emotions, physical strength and finances, Mk 12:30-31, and our neighbors as ourselves. Let us be sanctified and washed in The Truth of the Water of Your Word (which is truth), John 17:17, Eph 5:25-26, until You present us to Yourself as Your glorious church with no spot or wrinkle or any such blemish, Eph 5:26-31, this mystery is great, but I speak of Christ and The Church, Eph 5:32-33.

Let it be, Holy Spirit, that we participate with Your sanctifying work, 1 Pet 1:2, so we may by The Spirit put to death the deeds of the flesh, Rom 8:13, and thus by not by our might, nor power, but by My Spirit, says The LORD, Zech 4:6, may we walk in the works You prepared in advance for us to do, Eph 2:10, and thus make ourselves ready as The Bride for Jesus Christ Our Husband, Rev 19:7, and receive the final icing of white linens, pure and bright, for the fine linens are the righteous deeds of the saints, Rev 19:8...

Through Jesus Christ The Mediator of this New Covenant, 1 Tim 2:5, inaugurated by the offering of Yourself once for all, Heb 12:24, we offer these prayers with thanksgiving for obtaining the eternal inheritance, Heb 9:15, in advance, Mk 11:24, for by a single offering He has made perfect for all time those who are being sanctified, Heb 10:14, so we may obey the eternal Gospel to fear God and give You glory, Rev 14:6-7, for if You, LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But with You is forgiveness, that You mayest be feared, Ps 130:3-4.

Lastly we thank You that You were in Christ by The Fullness of The Spirit without measure, Jn 3:34, reconciling the world back to Yourself, not counting our sins against us, and have given us the same ministry of reconciliation, 2 Cor 5:19. Help us do the work of an evangelist, and thus fulfill that ministry, 2 Tim 4:5. May we be serve You in our spirit in the preaching of the Gospel of Your Son, Rom 1:9, that we might bear much fruit, Jn 15:7-8, not only of The Holy Spirit, Gal 5:22-23, but a harvest of souls in order to bring others from the nations into Your sheepfold, Jn 10:16, helping You as Your helpmeets, Gen 2:17-18, Eph 5:32-33, gathering and calling others to come, Luke 14:21-23, to the Marriage Supper of The Lamb, Isa 25:6, Matt 22:1-2, and to the discipleship of sanctification by continually knowing Truth by continuing in Your Word, John 8:31-32, Matt 28:19-20, and continuing to patiently continue to call all of us to the holiness without which no one will see The Lord, Heb 12:14, as Your holy people, Your own possession, called out of darkness into Your marvelous light, enabling and emboldening us with Power from on High to be witnesses, Acts 1:8, proclaiming Your excellencies 1 Peter 2:9. Thank You Father, Thank You Jesus and Thank You Holy Spirit, 2 Cor 13:14, in Jesus' Name, Jn 14:13-14, Amen, 2 Cor 1:20.

 

[Articles]

We join with you in this cry for revival and reformation and we say amen to your prayer for the washing of the Word and the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit.

We thank God with you for the faithful witness of those who have gone before, for He gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ Eph 4:11-13. We agree that we need this same equipping and maturing today, that we may no longer be children tossed back and forth but may grow up in all things into Him who is the head, Christ Eph 4:14-15.

We lift up with you this plea for revival in ourselves, our families, our churches, our cities and our nation. We pray as you did that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence 1 Tim 2:1-2, for this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth 1 Tim 2:3-4. We ask the Lord to seek and to revive us first, for judgment must begin with the household of God, and we pray that He would shine in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ 2 Cor 4:6 and that the eyes of our hearts may be enlightened, that we may know what is the hope of His calling Eph 1:18.

We echo your prayer that we would love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our mind, and with all our strength and love our neighbor as ourselves Mk 12:30-31. This is only possible as we are sanctified in the truth, for Your word is truth Jn 17:17, and as Christ loved the assembly and gave Himself up for it, that He might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word, that He might present the assembly to Himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without defect Eph 5:25-27. We long for that pure Bride without spot or blemish, and we agree that we must pursue the holiness without which no one will see the Lord Heb 12:14.

We pray together that we would truly cooperate with the sanctification of the Spirit 1 Pet 1:2, that by the Spirit we would put to death the deeds of the body and so live Rom 8:13. Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says Yahweh of Armies Zech 4:6, for we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them Eph 2:10. We ask that we would make ourselves ready as the Bride, for the wedding of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready, it was given to her that she would array herself in bright, pure, fine linen, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints Rev 19:7-8.

We thank the Father that we come only through Jesus Christ, for there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus 1 Tim 2:5, and through Him we have the new covenant in His blood. By one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified Heb 10:14, and we can come boldly because if You, Yah, kept track of iniquities, Lord, who could stand, but there is forgiveness with You, therefore You are feared Ps 130:3-4.

We join you in asking for grace to fulfill the ministry of reconciliation, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation 2 Cor 5:19. We pray that we would do the work of an evangelist and fulfill our ministry 2 Tim 4:5, serving with our spirit in the Good News of His Son Rom 1:9, abiding in Him to bear much fruit Jn 15:8, with the fruit of the Spirit which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control Gal 5:22-23, and with a harvest of souls, for He has other sheep which are not of this fold and they also must be brought and they will hear His voice Jn 10:16. We ask for boldness to go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, that His house may be filled Lk 14:23, inviting many to the marriage feast Matt 22:2 and to the mountain where the Lord has made a feast Isa 25:6, which is the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

We pray that we would continue in His word, and then we will truly be His disciples, we will know the truth, and the truth will make us free Jn 8:31-32, teaching all nations to observe all things that He commanded Matt 28:20, proclaiming with power from on high that we are witnesses Acts 1:8, a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that we may proclaim the excellence of Him who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light 1 Pet 2:9.

Father, we ask You to fill all the earth with Your glory as the waters cover the sea Hab 2:14, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Yahweh Isa 11:9. Let revival begin in us and spread to our churches and to all peoples until Christ is fully formed in us and His Bride is made pure and ready for His return.

We ask all of this in the mighty and only saving name of Jesus Christ our Lord, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved, and whatever we ask in His name He will do that the Father may be glorified in the Son Jn 14:13. Amen.

Thank you for lifting such a wide and tender burden before the Lord. We hear your love for Jesus and your longing to see Him glorified in you, in your church and family, and across communities and nations. That desire to be made clean and ready, and to see others drawn in, is beautiful to the Lord.

We want to encourage you as you keep praying this way. Being set apart for God begins with what He has done for us, and then it becomes a lifelong, gradual becoming more like Jesus. It rarely moves in a straight line. There are highs and lows, and growth often happens almost imperceptibly over time as we stay close to Him. We have found it helps to keep simple, steady rhythms rather than striving for a sudden perfection, time in the Word, honest prayer for ourselves and for others, worship that lifts our eyes off ourselves, and fellowship where we can encourage one another. And all of it depends on the Holy Spirit, who alone gives the growth. Each of us will walk that out a little differently as God shapes us.

Thank you for being faithful to intercede and to live what you pray in the small daily steps. We are joining you.

Father, we thank You for Your work in us and we ask You to keep washing and shaping us, to fill us with Your Spirit and make us faithful witnesses of Your grace. Keep our hearts soft to Your Word and our hands ready for the good works You have prepared for us, until we see Jesus face to face. In Jesus' name, Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

We join you with a hearty Amen in this prayer for revival and for the purifying of the Bride of Christ.

How gladdening is the truth you have set forth, that by the will of God we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Incarnate God by offering His own blood, by laying down His own life and bearing the curse in His own body, has effected the purpose of the Father in setting His chosen apart and making them holiness unto the Lord. The Father joins in the verdict of the Son that it is finished, and all the will of God for the sanctification of His people is accomplished. Yet this great work must be applied to us by the Holy Spirit, who takes away from us all hope of being sanctified by any means of our own, shows us our need of cleansing, and takes of the things of Christ and reveals them to us, enabling us to walk in the good works which He has prepared for us.

We pray with you that this sanctifying work may be seen in practical, personal, active and vital holiness. The Scripture saith, without holiness no man shall see the Lord, and this holiness is not mere morality which cleans the outside of the cup, but a work that deals with the thoughts and intents of the heart, that sets the heart upon God and makes it beat with love to Him. It is not a perfection which shuts out the contrite soul, for no man who knows his own heart pretends to be perfectly conformed, but it is a real following after holiness, a putting to death by the Spirit of the deeds of the flesh, not by might nor by power but by My Spirit, saith the Lord. Perseverance in holiness is the sure mark of grace, for if grace has truly changed you, you are radically and lastingly changed, and you shall not depart from Him.

For revival we cry with you, Will Thou not revive us again that Thy people may rejoice in Thee. If a revival be true and real it is caused by the Holy Spirit and by Him alone. It is not a thing to be gotten up by machinery, which may often be the greatest hindrance to true godliness, but it is the Lord Himself pouring water upon him that is thirsty and floods upon the dry ground. When He comes there will be life in the Church and life in the ministry, life in prayer, life in effort, life in holiness and life in brotherly love, and then numerous converts shall be called out, to the praise of His glory. We avow our desire to walk with God in this, for in vain shall we struggle after revival unless we have His presence.

So we pray that you and all the saints may be washed by the water of the Word, that Christ may present to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, clothed in fine linen pure and bright which is the righteous deeds of the saints, and that you may be strengthened with power from on high to fulfill the ministry of reconciliation, to do the work of an evangelist and to serve Him in your spirit in the preaching of the Gospel of His Son. May the Lord shine in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of His glory in the face of Jesus Christ, and keep us continuing in His Word, that we may know the Truth and be made holy thereby, until the whole earth is filled with His glory as the waters cover the sea.

We commend you to the Mediator of the new covenant, who by one offering hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified, and we ask all this in the name of Jesus, to whom with the Father and the Holy Spirit be all praise. Amen.
