Fidelis, 4/19/2020 - God is good, all the time! I humbly pray and ask that our Lord, God, will hear and answer our prayers which I confess is a precious gift, honor, and privilege that has been so graciously bestowed upon us through our Lord and savior Jesus Christ (Yeshua) through the tearing of the temple veil (Jesus is our king and priest). Because this gift was granted to us through the bloodshed, death, and resurrection of Christ; I choose to humbly come before the mighty throne of the Father (Abba) who sits on the throne in heaven. I pray and lift-up these many petitions in His only begotten son's name, Jesus (Yeshua) that they may be heard and considered. I pray and ask for protection, guidance (wisdom and discernment) healing, understanding, and financial provisions (blessing) through this difficult time for all that are in such need. I humbly request and petition the Father for these things so that we (the true believing church) might be blessed with the ability to continue to go about the Fathers business. That we would continue to tirelessly work as His hands and feet to bring the only message of hope (in Christ alone) to the unsaved world. I pray that the lukewarm church would wake up and see the signs of the times and return to their first love. I pray that they would repent, humbly thy selves, believe, follow, and obey the word of God as He desires and has called us to (Jesus lived the perfect sinless life for our example). I pray that the churches desire continues to be, that they boldly and lovingly share with the world the truth about our savior and His amazing grace. This truth is derived from the bibles gospel message; that through the life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the savior of the world, the spotless Lamb of the Passover, the Jewish Messiah (Yeshua Hamashiach) that anyone can be saved (born again) thus defeating the curse of death. I pray that the unmatched story of Jesus (who is both God and man) is expressly shared everywhere in the world explaining how His unending perfect love provided the only way for real forgiveness, reconciliation to God, and eternal life in heaven. I pray that people comprehend, accept, and receive that this extraordinary gift (Jesus, his death and resurrection) came at a great price. He did this because of His great love for us. He did this so that anyone willing to hear, receive, believe, (have faith) will have eternal life. I pray that people are willing to count the cost and give up their own will (dying to self) allowing Christ to replace it for the real-life in Him by faithfully living (or at least attempting to live for Him to the best of our ability) in Christs perfect will and plan for us. I pray that people humble their hearts to understand that Jesus paid the ultimate price for us with His blood and life so that He could be our Lord and guide on the path of life. I pray for everyone that makes this life-changing decision that they will understand that when they embrace who Jesus really is and what He has actually and literally done, they will be absolutely forgiven, healed, and restored regardless of their sins. (please note, this does not mean that there will not be any consequences for the lives we lived before we got saved, known as reaping and sowing, that is up to the Lord). I pray that people will begin repenting (confessing), receiving, and having faith in Jesus and purposely (deliberately/willfully/gladly) turning away from their sinful ways (sinful lifestyles) which is the only way for any of us (individual, church, nation, world) to have remission (forgiveness) of sins and to be fully reconciled (full removal of sin) to the father (God) forever in eternity. I pray that the world would see (comprehend/understand) that we all are required to humble ourselves, repent, confess, and stop living deceitful, self-centered, sinful lifestyles if we want God to hear and answer our prayers. I pray that people receive Jesus not because it is free and easy (It was not free or easy for your savior) but because we realize and mentally grasp the seriousness that we are hopeless (desperately wicked in our hearts/sinful) without Him, and that He loves us (even while we were still sinners) and has done everything for us (creating us and dying on our behalf for what we deserved). I pray that everyone is able to discern the truth that what Jesus has done for us is not about a get out of jail free golden ticket to heaven, not by any means. This is about Jesus coming to set us free from sin and the horrible bondage of sin that we in our flesh are forever cursed to endure. We are completely incapable of setting ourselves free from sin but even worse we are unable to pay the price of such sin which was committed against a perfect and Holy God. That is what Jesus has done for us. We are to “live†a life free from sin because Jesus has come to set us free that we may live life abundantly in Him. The enemy comes to rob, kill, and destroy but you have the victory over that enemy if you have Christ as your savor and you believe and follow Him and His ways. It is for this reason I pray that the church will stand for their savior at all cost and that unbelievers will see, desire, and embrace this one and only savior called Christ Jesus. Also, we must be willing to forgive those that have sinned against us and have thus asked us for forgiveness, just as Jesus has done for us when we ask for forgiveness. I pray that the church understands that reconciliation only comes when repentance and forgiveness are completed in tandem and that this is required before we go before the Lord in prayer. I pray we all practice true humility, repentance, and forgiveness before we approach God in prayer (with expectation). This must be done before we start petitioning/praying to Him. If we truly want God to respond to our prayers and remove or protect us from His judgments, was must remember that God has already instilled into the truth (laws) of life that we would in fact suffer the consequences caused by our own foolish decisions and behavior (reaping and sowing); which we have earned because of our sinful, disobedient behavior, willful disregard for God, perverting His word for our own gain, and changing/altering our savior Jesus Christ by not believing Him in all of His true forms, purpose, and accomplishments. I urgently pray that the Lord would show and reveal to us all pillars of truth as well as deception coming from the church, governments, and any other life-impacting establishments that are integrated into our world (banks, schools, businesses, entertainment). I pray to the God of “Truth†that He would reveal to us His divine truth thus giving us His understanding and wisdom so to expose the lies and deception of the ever-present enemy of the church as well as to this world. I pray that the Lord will reveal Himself to us, be a lamp unto our feet, line the narrow path with the angels that we may not fall left or right, that He would make our feet sturdy, steadfast, and strong. I pray and ask that the Lord would fill us with the Holy Spirit, place the Holy Spirit upon us, and send the Holy Spirit before us to guide us in everything we do and everything God calls us to do during this short-lived opportunity, known as life, that He has so graciously provided us. Pursue not the treasures of this world that will pass and be lost forever in a day of fire but invest all that you have in heavenly things (for the glory of God) where you will have and enjoy them for eternity. I pray and ask that the Lord will give us a heavy and abundant dose of His love, mercy, grace, pity and compassion. I pray that the Lord will place a hedge of protection around us everywhere we go and I humbly ask that He place His healing hand upon our lives that if it be His will that we would be restored and healed mentally, physically, and spiritually. I pray and thank the Lord with everlasting praise and rejoicing for His great wisdom, trustworthiness, unchanging truth, sovereignty, righteousness and holiness; for all that He is, all that He has, and all that He continues to do for us. I pray that we (all Christians) are found to be worthy in the sight of the Lord because we are actively doing with a glad heart the work that the Lord has called us to do when Jesus returns. I pray that the Lord, God, will help us with all these requests and petitions that I have humbly requested and placed before Him, at the feet of our mighty God who sits on His throne in heaven with all power and authority. I pray for these blessings because I know that none of us are capable on our own of accomplishing such things based on our own wisdom, power, or might. I pray because I know that without His mighty blood, the truth of His word, power of the Holy Spirit, and gracious God answered prayer that gives us undeserved blessings, we would all fail to make it. I pray that the Lord is forever glorified especially during this time. I pray that all truly committed and seeking believers (the church) (including myself) would desire in our hearts to put a smile on Gods face (pleasing the Lord, obedience) by trusting Him (growing in our faith) one day at a time as we strive to serve our families, communities, churches, and country to the best of our ability during these difficult times. Lord, give us endurance, joy, peace, and true Godly love to boldly and confidently reach out and help others in need. Help us; Lord help us, as your servants to do your will, to put you first, not ourselves, to love you and serve you for your glory, not our own, and to continue the works for the kingdom to come. May the Lord’s will be done here on earth as it is in heaven. In Jesus (Yeshua's) name for Jesus's glory......Amen!
If you agree with this prayer, please say amen and pass it on to other believers that they may do the same. I hope that this prayer petition represents the heart and desire of the church. I pray if goes loudly and boldly before the Lord for the sake of everyone. He is our only hope, peace, joy, and safety. I pray during this time that many come to the saving knowledge of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. We are close to the end and we need to get going. Harvest is plenty but the workers are very, very few. In what condition will God find you when He comes at that unknown hour?
Thanks, and may God be with you!
