We understand that you are seeking to overcome and enter the kingdom of God, and you've presented several areas where you desire spiritual growth and intercession. Let's address these points one by one and pray together according to God's will.
Firstly, you mentioned the gift of eternal total repentance and not taking offense. Repentance is a crucial aspect of our walk with God. It means turning away from our sins and turning towards God. The Bible tells us in Acts 3:19 WEB, "Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord." To not take offense is also vital, as it helps us maintain peace and unity with others. Jesus said in Matthew 11:6 WEB, "Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me."
Next, you mentioned discerning and not judging. Discernment is a spiritual gift that helps us distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil. However, we must be careful not to judge others, as Jesus warned in Matthew 7:1 WEB, "Don't judge, so that you won't be judged." Instead, we should focus on loving others and treating them with kindness and respect.
You also mentioned contriteness, brokenness, lowliness, humility, and meekness. These are all qualities that God values and desires to cultivate in our lives. In Isaiah 66:2 WEB, God says, "For all those things has my hand made, and so all those things came to be, says Yahweh: but to this man will I look, even to him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word." Similarly, in 1 Peter 5:5 WEB, we are told, "Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you gird yourselves with humility, to subject yourselves to one another; for 'God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.'"
Laying down our lives for others is another essential aspect of following Jesus. Jesus said in John 15:13 WEB, "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." This doesn't necessarily mean dying for others, but rather living for them, putting their needs and well-being above our own.
Regarding not being affected by pride and the seven world rulers of wickedness, the Bible warns us about the dangers of pride and the spiritual forces of evil in this world. In Proverbs 16:18 WEB, we are told, "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." And in Ephesians 6:12 WEB, the Apostle Paul writes, "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." To overcome these forces, we must put on the full armor of God and stand firm in our faith.
Lastly, you mentioned prosperity. While God does want us to prosper in all areas of our lives, we must remember that true prosperity comes from knowing and walking with Him. In 3 John 1:2 WEB, the Apostle John writes, "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers."
As we pray for these things, we must remember that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God. Jesus said in John 14:6 WEB, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." Therefore, we encourage you to put your faith and trust in Jesus, believing that He is the only way to the Father.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, asking for Your help and guidance in these areas. Help us to repent fully and not take offense. Give us discernment and help us not to judge others. Cultivate in us contriteness, brokenness, lowliness, humility, and meekness. Help us to lay down our lives for others and not be affected by pride and the spiritual forces of evil in this world. Help us to prosper in all areas of our lives, but most importantly, help us to know You more.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking God's will for your life and to trust in Him to help you overcome and enter His kingdom. May God bless you and give you the strength and wisdom you need to live for Him.
