Heavenly Father,                                                                                                                4-15-24

Your warriors prepare for battle.  Today we claim victory over Satan by putting on the whole armor of God!

I put on the Girdle of Truth!  May I stand firm in the truth of your Word so I will not be a victim of Satan’s lies.

I put on the Breastplate of Righteousness!  May it guard my hear from evil so I will remain pure and holy, protected under the blood of Jesus Christ.

I put on the Shoes of Peace!  May I stand firm in the Good news of the Gospel so that Your peace will shine through me and be a light to all I encounter.

I take up the Shield of Faith!  May I be ready for Satan’s fiery darts of doubt, denial and deceit so I will not be vulnerable to spiritual defeat.

I put on the Helmet of Salvation!  May I keep my mind focused on You so Satan will not have a stronghold on my thoughts.

I take the Sword of the Spirit! May the two-edged sword of Your Word be ready in my hands so I can expose the tempting words of Satan.  By faith Your warrior has put on the whole armor of God!  I am prepared to live this day in spiritual victory!  Amen        ( from David Jeremiah’s Turning Point Ministry)

Lord be our strength and shield as we move forward in prayer to tear down evil kingdoms that have been built in our nation. 

Let our hearts be free from worry or doubt and may we trust you to do God and work on our behalf.  We delight you Lord and look upon you with reverence and honor, our hearts do fear you, Lord.  We commit the work of our hands to you knowing that you are the power behind the prayers.  We wait patiently knowing that you will hear and answer our prayers as you have called us to pray them!  Let us refrain from anger and turn from wrath, let and hinderance within us be forgiven and removed so that our prayers may be effective for you and a fragrance rising to heaven. (based on Psalm 37)

Lord, we pray for our government and those in authority that may be God- fearing and recognize that they are accountable to You God for every decision that they make. (Proverbs 9:10)

Lord grant them wisdom, knowledge and understanding. (James 1:5)

I pray that if they do not know you that they be presented with the gospel and loving Christian witness so their hearts may be given to you. (Romans 10:14)

Lord, we come boldly before your throne you and petition that you tear down the top evil spirts that are running rampant in our nation today.

In Jesus name we rebuke, the spirit of Jezebel whose work counteracts the work of God and the Holy Spirit and ask that it be replaces with True and proper worship, prayer, song and testimony of the work of Jesus Christ.

In Jesus name we rebuke the spirit of Leviathan, whose evil twists, accuses and manipulates.  We cast down this evil spirit in the mighty name of Jesus and ask that you replace this with Your Holy Spirit of Truth!

In Jesus name we rebuke the spirt of fear that runs rampant in our nation as a tactic to keep us ineffective. I pray for an outpouring of your love and a return of the fear of the Lord to remove the spirit of fear.  Your perfect love casts our fear!

In the Mighty name of Jesus, we rebuke the spirit of delusion operating today causing confusion and deception and ask that it be replaced with Wisdom from on high.  Lord, we pray for an outpouring of wisdom. In Jeus holy name!

In Jesus name we rebuke the spirit of entitlement that sweeps across the nations, Lord we are a nation that has forgotten to be thankful, forgotten about the price that you paid a nation that has forgotten to honor you God and has forsaken the name of Jesus. In Jesu name we ask that there be an outpouring of humility, gratitude, respect and the Fear of the Lord returns to the church and the nation, to homes, schools and families... In Jeus name, the enemy will no longer hold this ground, may the high and lofty places be torn down as you Lord take your rightful place in our hearts, homes and nations. Lord please rebuild our nation to stand on the firm foundation of Jesus Christ.

 So, we walk with you into the fullness of what you want to offer Lord as we seek to base our prayers on the move of you God.  In seeking after you Lord we want to move where you are moving and go where you go.  Direct our hands and feet to work and move with you! 

Prepare us of Lord as we as a church press in and pray into REVIVAL!!! 

Cover, protect and restore any area that the enemy has stolen from Nick and Leah so they are prepared for the fullness that you offer through their obedience and love for you. Bless their children, their family and their household as they are a blessing to so many.

As you revealed, Revival is Coming!!  We receive and we pray not our will but yours be done!

 Lord, we ask that You give us a biblically accurate understanding of revival and of our deep need for it!

We ask you God draw us  close to  you, to your throne room of grace, so that we may be  face to face with you Father God.

We ask that Your Holy Spirit bring conviction of sin and deep genuine repentance.

We pray for your scriptures to come alive within us and for your anointing to flow off of us on to others that we meet, in the name of Jesus.  We pray that your fire will burn in our hearts and that a hunger and thirst, keeps us coming back to you for more, so we overflow with your love.

We pray that you will enable us to live with a revived heart and that you would be the Bread that sustains us and any move of revival hat you usher in.  teach us to be obedient hosts of your presence.

Let us trust in you Lord with all of our hearts and not lean on our own understanding.  May you download into your people, your purposes, plans and strategies to be effective and well prepared to host all that you desire and to meet the demands and the needs of the people that you bring.  May you move in the inner working of the hearts of l those at Redefined church and other local congregations to provide many hands to lead worship, to teach and to assist in caring for and praying for your people as you move. 

We pray for unity and love to be the lead in all that we do, for your glory and that you show us and prepare us with information and precise timing so that we do not run ahead or lag behind, but that we walk hand in hand with you and one another!  In Jesus name. 

We pray for fruit that lasts in the church and in our lives as we commit to staying connected to the True Vine.  May we continue to sing praises to you as you move in us to bring a new sound and new songs.  We also ask that you continue to pour the worship song writing anointing upon our church    We delight in the process and the blessing that we can participate in your divine nature in this way, giving all glory and praise to your name.

As revival is on the horizon Lord, we pray for all the practical and financial needs be meet by you and made obvious to us.  We pray for supernatural strength as you open up the heavens and pour out your spirit upon us.  We thank you in advance for what you are planning to.   We pray for unity in the local churches as they also may to experience an overflow.  We pray that every wall of hostility and separation between denominations be torn down to be able to move with You! 

We pray for each person, each vessel, that you are even now preparing to return to their hometown carrying the revival fire back with them.  That your love would grow in them and that your Holy Spirit Fire may spread like wildfire!  You Lord are repairers of broken walls and streets with dwellings. May family homes once again be filled with You God at the center of their lives I pray in advance that each heart and home may carry your fire.  Burn in us again, Holy Fear of the Lord.   This we do pray!

Deuteronomy 28:12 NKJV The Lord will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.

 

Proverbs 14: 26-27

John 4:13… but whoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst again; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

 

Psalm 36: 7-9 How precious is your loving kindness, Oh God!  Therefore, the children of men put their trust under the shadow of your wings. They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house, And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures.

 

Prayer Offering:

Your word, Oh God is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path.  You are our refuge and strong tower.  You abundantly satisfy our every need.  When we come to you and enter into your presence you fill our eyes with light and our bodies with the fountain of life.  Let us overflow into the world around us as you continue to fill us up with your Love, Light, your Word and your Truth.  The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, fill us with a holy fear of you Lord, so we may continually overcome the snares of death.    We put on the full armor of God and we go out with you, knowing that you are our protection and our strong defense.  Let our confidence be found in the Holy Fear of you, Lord!   Lord, open up the heavens, the store houses of your bounty, send your rain in this season to water our hearts and the seeds that we sow.

The LORD has given these various scriptures to a group of us who have been praying through out the week, we then come together and share what He is showing us as a whole as each of us have been given a piece/part. 

It appears the Holy Spirit has shown us this past week, that we are to come and listen, give ear, fully focused on the LORD in order to be filled and fed, through His word and through the things that are revealed by the Holy Spirit. To go from a child, immature to mature, in order to sit at the Father’s table to be fed food, not milk. We are to receive from Him to be filled to go out to those who are being held captive, we are to share with them what the Holy Spirit is showing us even if they don’t hear us, even if they refuse what we have for them to receive from the LORD.

So we pray that the Body sacrifices time and is obedient to the call of the Holy Spirit, that we lean in to hear, empty ourselves to receive in order to give to others that the LORD is directing us to. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen!

Psalm 131- Shown: Bringing bread to the table, sitting with the Father after being weaned as a child

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

1 Lord, my heart is not haughty,

Nor my eyes lofty.

Neither do I concern myself with great matters,

Nor with things too profound for me.

2 Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul,

Like a weaned child with his mother;

Like a weaned child is my soul within me.

3 O Israel, hope in the Lord

From this time forth and forever.

1 John 3:2- 

“Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.”

Ezekiel 40:4- 

“And the man said to me, “Son of man, look with your eyes and hear with your ears, and fix your mind on everything I show you; for you were brought here so that I might show them to you. Declare to the house of Israel everything you see.”

Ezekiel 3:10-11

“10 Moreover He said to me: “Son of man, receive into your heart all My words that I speak to you, and hear with your ears. 11 And go, get to the captives, to the children of your people, and speak to them and tell them, ‘Thus says the Lord God,’ whether they hear, or whether they refuse.”

John 1:9- “That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.”

Jeremiah 13:15-17-” 15 Hear and give ear: Do not be proud, For the Lord has spoken. 16 Give glory to the Lord your God Before He causes darkness, And before your feet stumble On the dark mountains, And while you are looking for light, He turns it into the shadow of death And makes it dense darkness.17 But if you will not hear it, My soul will weep in secret for your pride; My eyes will weep bitterly And run down with tears, Because the Lord ’s flock has been taken captive.”

Ephesians 3:10-16 -10 to the intent that now the [a]manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places, 11 according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him. 13 Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,”

The LORD has given these various scriptures to a group of us who have been praying through out the week, we then come together and share what He is showing us as a whole as each of us have been given a piece/part. 

It appears the Holy Spirit has shown us this past week that the LORD hears the prayers of the righteous. That the LORD is abundantly gracious, He wants us to continually come to Him when our hearts are not in the place He desires them to be.  For us to look towards the promises He has made and believe that they will be fulfilled because all His promises are yes and amen! That we are to remain in a place of fearing the LORD, for the flesh to remain silent and listen to the Holy Spirit’s voice, that we have nothing to fear for You are always with us! The One who sees all and knows all! And that He is bringing the Body through various trials and shakings for a greater glory to be revealed!

Lord, we come before you praying over these scriptures, that we are to recognize Your abundant grace You have shown us, that we can come back to you time and time again, turning from our fleshly desires with a clean heart, that when we pray You hear us! That we should desire to be righteous as you have called us to be! You have called us to be set apart,Holy people who have been given great purpose within the Body and for the overall purpose to see Your glory! LORD we pray that Your glory fills us beyond measure so the world can experience Christ in us! In Jesus name we pray, amen!

1 Kings 8:22-53-22- Then Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward heaven; 23 and he said: “Lord God of Israel, there is no God in heaven above or on earth below like You, who keep Your covenant and mercy with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts. 24 You have kept what You promised Your servant David my father; You have both spoken with Your mouth and fulfilled it with Your hand, as it is this day. 25 Therefore, Lord God of Israel, now keep what You promised Your servant David my father, saying, You shall not fail to have a man sit before Me on the throne of Israel, only if your sons take heed to their way, that they walk before Me as you have walked before Me.’ 26 And now I pray, O God of Israel, let Your word come true, which You have spoken to Your servant David my father.

27 “But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You. How much less this temple which I have built! 28 Yet regard the prayer of Your servant and his supplication, O Lord my God, and listen to the cry and the prayer which Your servant is praying before You today: 29 that Your eyes may be open toward this temple night and day, toward the place of which You said, ‘My name shall be there,’ that You may hear the prayer which Your servant makes toward this place. 30 And may You hear the supplication of Your servant and of Your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Hear in heaven Your dwelling place; and when You hear, forgive.

31 “When anyone sins against his neighbor, and is forced to take san oath, and comes and takes an oath before Your altar in this temple, 32 then hear in heaven, and act, and judge Your servants, condemning the wicked, bringing his way on his head, and justifying the righteous by giving him according to his righteousness.

33 When Your people Israel are defeated before an enemy because they have sinned against You, and when they turn back to You and confess Your name, and pray and make supplication to You in this temple, 34 then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of Your people Israel, and bring them back to the land which You gave to their fathers.

35 “When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against You, when they pray toward this place and confess Your name, and turn from their sin because You afflict them, 36 then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on Your land which You have given to Your people as an inheritance.

37 “When there is famine in the land, pestilence or blight or mildew, locusts or grasshoppers; when their enemy besieges them in the land of their cities; whatever plague or whatever sickness there is; 38 whatever prayer, whatever supplication is made by anyone, or by all Your people Israel, when each one knows the plague of his own heart, and spreads out his hands toward this temple: 39 then hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive, and act, and give to everyone according to all his ways, whose heart You know (for You alone know the hearts of all the sons of men), 40 that they may fear You all the days that they live in the land which You gave to our fathers.

41 “Moreover, concerning a foreigner, who is not of Your people Israel, but has come from a far country for Your name’s sake 42 (for they will hear of Your great name and Your strong hand and Your outstretched arm), when he comes and prays toward this temple, 43 hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You, that all peoples of the earth may know Your name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and that they may know that this temple which I have built is called by Your name.

44 “When Your people go out to battle against their enemy, wherever You send them, and when they pray to the Lord toward the city which You have chosen and the temple which I have built for Your name, 45 then hear in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

46 “When they sin against You (for there is no one who does not sin), and You become angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, and they take them captive hto the land of the enemy, far or near; 47 yet when they come to themselves in the land where they were carried captive, and repent, and make supplication to You in the land of those who took them captive, saying, ‘We have sinned and done wrong, we have committed wickedness’; 48 and when they return to You with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who led them away captive, and pray to You toward their land which You gave to their fathers, the city which You have chosen and the temple which I have built for Your name: 49 then hear in heaven Your dwelling place their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause, 50 and forgive Your people who have sinned against You, and all their transgressions which they have transgressed against You; and mgrant them compassion before those who took them captive, that they may have compassion on them 51 (for they are Your people and Your inheritance, whom You brought out of Egypt, oout of the iron furnace), 52 that Your eyes may be open to the supplication of Your servant and the supplication of Your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they call to You. 53 For You separated them from among all the peoples of the earth to be Your inheritance, as You spoke by Your servant Moses, when You brought our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.”

James 5:16- Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

1 Timothy 1:14- And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

Zechariah 2:13- “Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord , for He is aroused from His holy habitation!”

Haggai 2:4-9- 4 Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel,’ says the Lord ; ‘and be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land,’ says the Lord , ‘and work; for I am with you,’ says the Lord of hosts.5 According to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so My Spirit remains among you; do not fear! 6 “For thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; 7 and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,’ says the Lord of hosts 8 he silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ says the Lord of hosts. 9 The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘And in this place I will give peace,’ says the Lord of hosts.”

Scripture:

Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5:20 KJV

Prayer Offering:

Lord, you know each one of us.  You God have appointed and set apart each of your children for such a time as this.

Scriptures:

1 Peter 2: 9-11 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light, who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who have not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

Ephesians 1:13-14 I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Ephesians 4: 7 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christs gift.

 

Prayer Offering:

Lord, we are your chosen people, you call us a royal priesthood, a holy nation, your special possession – teach us to declare your praises to the world, as you have called us out of darkness and into your glorious light.  Please, Lord, Cause and develop us to live a life worthy of the calling we have received so that you may be glorified.  Teach us to be good stewards of that which you have bestowed upon us.  In Jesus name we pray, Amen!

Cleanse us so we may wear your righteousness, cover our shameful ways with the blood of Jesus, anoint our eyes, the eyes of your church so we may see you! We earnestly repent on behalf of ourselves as individuals and the church body. Let us come into the door, which is you Christ, and dine with you at the banquet feast.
