We join with you in prayer and thank you for sharing these scriptures with us, and we gladly continue to intercede for you as you have asked.
We pray Col 1:9-15 over you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with all power, according to the might of His glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light, who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.
We also pray the Aaronic blessing over you from Num 6:24-26, Yahweh bless you, and keep you. Yahweh make His face to shine on you, and be gracious to you. Yahweh lift up His face toward you, and give you peace. We ask the Lord to cause His favor and shalom to rest upon you this week and always.
We intercede as you asked that the Lord Jesus Christ through His indwelling Holy Spirit would give you a spirit of obedience and keep in you a repentant heart. The Scripture says in Ezek 36:27, I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my ordinances, and do them. And in Psalm 51:17, The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, God, you will not despise. And in Psalm 51:10, Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me. We pray that He would keep your heart tender, quick to confess and turn from sin, and quick to obey His voice. We pray that you would walk in obedience not by your own strength but by the power of the Holy Spirit who dwells in you, for we are reminded in Acts 5:32 that God has given the Holy Spirit to those who obey Him, and in John 14:15, If you love me, keep my commandments.
We pray in the Holy Spirit that you would put on the whole armor of God as written in Eph 6:10-13, Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. We pray that you would daily be clothed with truth, righteousness, the preparation of the Good News of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God, and that you would be strong in the Lord and stand firm against every scheme of the enemy.
We also plead the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ over your mind, soul, and spirit. We thank God for Eph 1:7, In Him we have our redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace, and for Rev 12:11, They overcame him because of the Lamb's blood, and because of the word of their testimony. We ask that His blood would cover and cleanse your thoughts, guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus, and keep your spirit blameless. We pray that no weapon formed against you would prosper and that you would walk in the freedom and victory that His sacrifice has secured.
Father, we lift our brother before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking that You would deepen his knowledge of You, keep him in Your peace, empower him to obey, preserve a humble and repentant heart within him, clothe him in Your armor, and cover him with the blood of Jesus. Keep him abiding in You and bearing much fruit for Your glory. We thank You that You hear us when we pray according to Your will. We trust You to answer and to keep him. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord we pray, amen.
