"Finally, brothers and sisters, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it has with you, 2 and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked people; for not all have faith. 3 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one," 2 Thes 3:1-2,3. Father, we ask Your Word gets the respect and priority it deserves in our lives, ###, ###, ###, ###, and in the entire church worldwide in Christ -- Deut8:3, Job23:12, Isa 55:2, Ps 119:103, Matt 4:4, Rev 2:17, Rev 19:13. May it be made effectual in its ministry to ourselves, our hearers and may it cover much ground to an end of international discipleship, i.e. Baptism & Teaching Obedience to The Sum of Your Word, Matt 28:19,20 -- c.f. Rom 1:5, Rom 16:26. May it promote the goal of our instruction: love from a purified heart, a sincere faith and a good conscience, 1 Tim 1:5. We ask for the Power of the Holy Spirit to pay attention to ourselves and our teaching ensuring the salvation of ourselves and our hearers, 1 Tim 4:16, the fullness of the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding so we may walk worthy, Col 1:10, may we be counted worthy of the calling we have received and the power to fulfill every desire for goodness and the work of faith with power, so the Name of Jesus be glorified in us, and we in Him, according to the Grace of Our God and of Our Lord Jesus The Lord's True Anointed, The Messiah, 2 Thes 1:11. We ask You testify through us granting faith in Christ for Eternal Life, 1 Jn 1:2, give us what to say and how to say it, Jn 12:49, resulting in increased fellowship, 1 Jn 1:3, and conversions of the soul, Ps 19:7. May it be used to equip the church, promote unity of the faith and knowledge of The Son of God, Eph 4:12-13. We ask You confirm the Word with fruit of The Holy Spirit, Gal 5:22-23, gifts, 1 Cor 12:4-5,6-7,8-9,10, authority over demons, Luke 11:20, Luke 10:17-18,19 -- and rejoicing about the reality of true and solid conversions that persevere until the end, names written in Heaven, Luke 10:20, in the Lamb's Book of Life, Dan 12:1, Mal 3:16-17, Rev 21:7. We pray for living epistles known and read by all men, 2 Cor 3:2-3. May our joy be derived from the Biblically prescribed method of soul-winning,Ps 126:6, and sharing in the joy of heaven, Luke 15:7, the application of the wisdom freely received, Prov 11:30, because You are The Teacher, and The Holy Spirit our Comforter-Advocate-Helper takes what is Yours and teaches us all things, and even reminds us what You've said, Jn 14:26. Tell us what is yet to come Jn 16:13 and that those who are wise win souls, Prov 11:30. We pursue love, earnestly desire spiritual gifts, and respect the emphasis You placed on prophecy, 1 Cor 14:1 -- may it edify, comfort, exhort, 1 Cor 14:3, and may we find joy in knowing others will fellowship more The Father, The Son and each other, 1 Jn 1:3-4, thank You, Phil 4:6-7, in Jesus' Name, Jn 14:13-14, Amen, 2 Cor 1:20.
