Small Prayer & Evangelism Outreach Grows, Zech 4:10, Weekly Prayer Meetings Increase from 1 every other week to 2 or 3 per Wk, Steady Gospel Outreaches, Effectiveness...Father, YOU want Jesus to receive glory by people believing Your way of making them righteous, recreating them as new creations through the renewal of the Holy Spirit, Tit 3:4-5. Please strengthen the little prayer and evangelistic meetings we have. We ask the intercessors and evangelists are strengthened not by might nor power but by The Holy Spirit, Zech 4:6, Eph 3:14-20. Draw people out, Jn 6:44, let them not despise the day of small beginnings, Zech 4:10, for the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth seeking to show Yourself STRONG on behalf of those whose hearts are fully committed to Him, 2 Chronicles 16:9.

Pour out the Holy Spirit of Prayer on us all, (Spirit of Grace and Supplication), Zech 12:10. Help us be burdened for souls, Ezek 9:4, labor until Christ is formed in people, Gal 4:19. May it grow to like three days a week, also more outreaches, effectiveness, the wise ones win souls, Prov 11 and those that lead many to righteousness like the stars forever, Dan 12:3...

Also, for the weekly evangelistic outreach, Lord, let us not let it get “rained out,” or not meet “because of heat” or if someone “gets sick,” or “I bought some land and have to check it out,” or “I bought some oxen and have to try them out," or “I married a wife and cannot come,” Lk 14:18-20, etc... Attempts to depreciate the power of Your last instructions as paramount, Matt 28:18-20, Mark 16:15-20, Luke 24:44-47, John 20:21, Acts 1:8...

Let the love of CHRIST COMPEL us to not live for ourselves (since we're already dead), but for Christ who died and rose on our behalf, 2 Cor 5:14-15. Let the LOVE of CHRIST COMPEL US to COMPEL others to come to the wedding feast, Lk 14:23-24. Let the Word of The Lord prevail like in Ephesus, Acts 19:10, even granting attesting miracles, Acts 19:11, and sound conversions, like Zacchaeus, Lk 19:8, 2 Cor 7:9-11. Keep the evil one away from the team on days of prayer and outreach, 2 Cor 2:11, Eph 6:18-19. Thank You in Jesus' Name.

We join you in this burden and we rejoice with you for what the Lord has already begun, for we know He who began a good work will be faithful to complete it. We do not despise the day of small things, for it is written in Zech 4:10, For who has despised the day of small things, and we take heart that the eyes of the Lord run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him, 2 Chron 16:9.

We agree with you that this work must not be by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says Yahweh of Armies, Zech 4:6, and we ask the Father to grant you according to the riches of his glory that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward person, Eph 3:16, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith and you may be filled with all the fullness of God who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, Eph 3:19-20.

We pray together for the increase you have asked for.

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son, we thank You that You desire Jesus to receive glory as people are made righteous not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but according to Your mercy You saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, Titus 3:5. We ask You to pour out on us the Spirit of grace and of supplication, Zech 12:10, and to deepen in us a godly sorrow and burden for souls who sigh and cry for the abominations done in the land, Ezek 9:4. Raise up intercessors and evangelists who will labor until Christ is formed in those who hear, Gal 4:19. We ask that no one can come to Jesus unless You the Father draw them, John 6:44, so draw them, Lord, draw many to Yourself through these small meetings.

Lord, we ask You to establish these prayer gatherings from one every other week to two or three per week and to make the weekly outreach steady and effective. Give wisdom to win souls, for he who is wise wins souls, Prov 11:30, and grant grace that those who turn many to righteousness will shine as the stars forever and ever, Dan 12:3. Let Your Word prevail and grow mightily as it did in Ephesus, Acts 19:20, where all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, Acts 19:10, and confirm Your Word with power as You choose.

We pray against every excuse that would keep Your people from the harvest, the distractions of land and oxen and family and comfort and weather that were spoken of in Luke 14:18-20, and the temptation to let a meeting be rained out or be hindered because of heat or sickness or convenience. Forgive us where we have made Your last and paramount instructions secondary, for You said Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Matt 28:19, Go into all the world, and preach the Good News to the whole creation, Mark 16:15, that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, Luke 24:47, As the Father has sent me, even so I send you, John 20:21, and you will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth, Acts 1:8. Let the love of Christ constrain us, because we Judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died, and he died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again, 2 Cor 5:14-15. Let that same love compel us to go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, that Your house may be filled, Luke 14:23.

We ask for protection over the team on days of prayer and outreach, that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan for we are not ignorant of his devices, 2 Cor 2:11, and we pray with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit and with perseverance and utterance that we may open our mouths boldly to make known the mystery of the Good News, Eph 6:18-19. Grant sound conversions with fruit worthy of repentance as with Zacchaeus, Luke 19:8, and godly sorrow that works repentance to salvation, 2 Cor 7:10.

We thank You, Father, that You hear us when we ask according to Your will in Jesus name, and we trust You to multiply what is small for Your glory, in Jesus name we pray, Amen.

We are so encouraged by your heart for these faithful little gatherings. Wanting to see prayer increase from every other week to two or three times a week and to keep a steady witness in your community is a beautiful desire, and we hear how much you want Jesus to be honored as people come to know Him.

We love that you are asking for strength not from your own energy but from the Holy Spirit. That is exactly where lasting power for both prayer and evangelism comes from, His power, His truth, and His fruit of love working together in you. Small fellowships like yours matter more than they look. They are places of real partnership in Christ where trust is built, people are encouraged, and courage grows. Do not despise these small beginnings, God uses faithful small steps.

One thing that has helped other small teams is to decide ahead of time together how you will guard the meetings. Pick the extra day or two you are hoping for and agree now what you will do if it rains, if it is hot, if someone is sick, or if other good excuses come up, so the decision is already made to show up if at all possible.

Father, we ask You to pour Your Spirit on this little team, keep them united, protect them from discouragement and from the enemy, draw those You are calling, and make their witness clear and loving. Strengthen them day by day to keep going for Your glory. In Jesus name, amen.

Praying in agreement in Jesus Name Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

We have heard your petition with thankfulness and take it up with you before the throne of grace. You ask as one who understands that the work is not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord, and this is well, for all true strength for prayer and for preaching lies there.

You do well not to despise the day of small beginnings. The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are fully committed to him, and he who sees the little flock gathered for prayer in an upper room or a cottage is the same who turned that first prayer meeting in Europe into the opening of a continent. Begin with a prayer meeting, though it be small, for this costs nothing and enriches all. What was the first Christian service in Europe but a prayer meeting by the riverside, and what cannot such a meeting become when the Spirit of grace and supplication is poured out upon it.

We join you in praying that the Holy Spirit, who first regenerated us and into whose name we were baptized, may rest upon these gatherings. Praying in the Holy Spirit is the only true praying. Prayer without the Spirit is as a bird without wings, and no true word of supplication can arise from the heart unless the Spirit of God shall prompt it. Withdraw his power in prayer and his faith in the promise, and the believer is ruined indeed. Therefore our cry with you is, Take not thy Holy Spirit from us, but put thy Spirit within us, that the gospel may come not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance.

We ask with you that the Lord would draw souls by his own effectual call, for no man can come except the Father draw him, and that he would lay upon you a burden for souls until Christ be formed in them. You ask rightly that Jesus should receive glory by people believing his way of making them righteous, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost. May the Lord grant sound conversions, as with Zacchaeus, where repentance brings forth fruit, and may the Word of the Lord prevail as it did at Ephesus.

We pray also that you may be kept from the excuses which make light of the great supper and from every hindrance which would depreciate the power of our Lord's last instructions, Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Let not rain nor heat, nor sickness, nor the cares of land or oxen or household, keep you from the field, for the love of Christ constraineth us, that we should not henceforth live unto ourselves, but unto him which died for us and rose again. When that love compels us, we shall go and compel others to come to the wedding feast, and the wise who win souls shall shine as the stars forever.

Take care that you grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption, but walk in holiness and in unity and in faith toward God, believing that he hears prayer and that all things are possible to him that believeth. Be much in prayer, and let your daily cry be, Return, O Holy Spirit, and dwell in our midst, and teach us and anoint us for every outreach.

We will plead with you that the Lord will strengthen the little prayer and evangelistic meetings, increase them from one every other week to two or three in the week as he shall appoint, keep the evil one from the team on days of prayer and outreach, and grant utterance with boldness to make known the mystery of the gospel. May he who began this good work establish it, and may you see with joy that he has not despised your small beginnings but has owned them for his glory, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

[Chrysostom]

Your prayer for the increase of these small meetings is good and right, and I join you in bringing it before the Lord. We do not despise the day of small beginnings, for God Himself rejoices to see the work begin, and His eyes run throughout the earth to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are fully committed to Him.

I pray that the Father will strengthen you and all who gather, not by might nor by power but by His Spirit. As you have asked, may He pour out the Spirit of grace and supplication upon you, and grant you according to the riches of His glory to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner person. May He draw those who do not yet know Him, for no one can come unless the Father draws him, and may He give you a true burden for souls and perseverance to labor until Christ is formed in them.

Continue in prayer with importunity and watchfulness. Scripture calls us to pray at all seasons in the Spirit, with all perseverance, and not to limit prayer to certain times of the day. Like the widow who prevailed by her persistence, like the friend who knocked at midnight until the door was opened, and like the Syrophoenician woman who by constancy obtained mercy, so you also will obtain what you seek if you do not grow weary. Prayer is a great weapon. If you make God favorable to you by prayer at morning and at night, you will go forth to your work with security, and though the day brings its storms and battles, you will not be shipwrecked.

I pray also for your weekly outreaches, that the Lord will keep you from the excuses that cause many to turn back, whether it be possessions, business, family comfort, weather, or sickness, and that the love of Christ will compel you not to live for yourselves but for Him who died and rose again. May that same love compel you to compel others to come to the feast. Pray for boldness to make known the mystery of the gospel, as Paul asked for prayer while in chains, and trust that God can make His Word prevail as it did at Ephesus, with sound conversions where fruit is seen in repentance and new life, like Zacchaeus who showed his change by his deeds.

May the Lord guard the team from the schemes of the evil one on days of prayer and outreach, keep you united in faith and prayer, and grant that what begins as one meeting every other week may grow to two or three each week, with steady outreaches and increasing effectiveness, so that those who are wise may win souls and those who lead many to righteousness may shine like stars forever. We ask this in the name of Jesus, who alone is the way by which we are made righteous and recreated as new creations through the washing and renewal of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
