Text: ‭‭‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1:17‭-‬19‬ ‭

[17] And remember that the heavenly Father to whom you pray has no favorites. He will judge or reward you according to what you do. So you must live in reverent fear of him during your time here as “temporary residents.” [18] For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And it was not paid with mere gold or silver, which lose their value. [19] It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. 1 Peter 1:17-19 NLT

The first part of  our prayer today will focus on asking God to deliver the Church from the claws of wicked spiritual leaders. who  are doing wickedly against the covenant and thus are bringing reproaches to the Body.

Let us Pray:

Father God,  we thank You for the gift of life and salvation of our souls.

We affirm that You are Holy, Righteous, and Just.  And that if you were to judge us for our sins, none among us would be saved. 

Thank You that Your goodness led us to repentance,  and Your mercy also prevailed over the judgments against us.

We come into the Throne of Grace, to obtain help from You who is able to kill and make alive.

We and our religious leaders have sinned against You, and have broken the covenant of brotherhood. 

We have not upheld your integrity in the world,  rather, we have become the object of worldly scorn in that we allowed the world and not the Word to transform us. 

We deserve all that is going against us in our nations.

But You O God remain faithful even when we are not. 

Remember Your covenant by the shed blood of the Lamb without blemish. 

Remember that Jesus Christ paid forward to redeem us from the consequences of our sins. 

We are grateful for the grace of forgiveness and cleansing from all unrighteousness.

However,  we ask that you remove from their leadership positions, those spiritual leaders whose candles no longer burn to direct people to you, and who have become the link that brings reproach to the Body of Christ.

Replace them with those who will honor the covenant of brotherhood,  feed your people with knowledge, understanding, and be the definition for righteousness in this depraved world.

In Your mercy O God, cover the shame of Your people and rescue us from the strife of tongues due to the wickedness of our leaders.

We stand against the evil spirits influencing idolatry, the worship of religious leaders, sexual sins and other lifestyles contrary to godliness. 

We command all those evil spirits and their relatives to leave our churches and fellowship groups, and go at once to the feet of Jesus Christ. 

We ask that You work in Your people O God, to no longer take part in the unfruitful works of darkness,  but to live Holy lives that testifies of Whose they are. 

Help us O God, to redeem the time,for the days are filled with vileness. 

Continue to work in us, both to will and to do of your good pleasure, and to live as light and salt in this world, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, TheSpiritualWarrior, Dec. 29th 2023.

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15, KJV

Our prayer today focuses on our personal relationship with God, and it also is a challenge to you, if you desire spiritual growth.

According to our pilot verse, your bible study benefits you first, for it attracts divine approval. Additionally, it showcases your skills.

As for me, reading the Bible from Genesis to Revelation is a yearly spiritual discipline for me.

I try out different translations every year.

There was one year that I challenged myself to read through the Bible in 3 months! Meh! That was a real challenge!

Another year, I read the Bible chronologically- in the order that the Books were written. It was so so different.

I need you to know that it takes discipline to be able to just read through the Bible by yourself. It’s a spiritual exercise that will renew your mind and transform your personality. 

As a Christian, it is honorable to “search the Scriptures as the Bereans did. 

Don’t be deceived like Mother Eve who fell for satan’s twisted interpretation of God’s Word.

Know God for yourself.  

Through the Bible you will understand who  God is, His plans and purpose for your life, and why the world is tottering. 

I challenge you to read through the Bible from January 1st to June 2024 – ( 6 months)at least 10 chapters a day

If you need guidance, the YouVersion free Bible study plan will help you- they have a 3,6 and 1 year Daily Bible reading plan.  Sign up for the one that suits you.

Let us Pray:

Father God, thank you for sending Your Word to deliver us from destruction and heal our diseases. 

We thank you for the gift of life and acknowledge that we have not made it count for you. Instead, we waste so much of our life on our phones viewing reels, watching movies or engaging in activities that don’t add value to the life of others.

In repentance, we ask that you help us to become better persons as we yield to your inworking in us.

Let the zeal for knowing God more, consume us. Fill us with the hunger and thirst to study your Word. Reveal yourself to us and help us to understand as we read the Bible. 

We stand against the forces of evils that attack God’s people with lethargy, sleepiness,  confusion and distractions, whenever they want to read their Bibles. 

We command to go at once to the feet of Jesus Christ, all the evil spirits working against the spiritual understanding and growth that will set God’s people free.

We proclaim liberty and declare that nothing can stop from accomplishment of the goal to read through the  Bible from Genesis to Revelation,  in the new year.

Thank You Father for working in us both to will and to do of your good pleasure, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️.

Text: ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43:19‬ ‭

Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:19

Today,  we are interceding for those who desire a new beginning but can’t seem to get it going- they don’t know what to do to stop the negative trend in their lives. 

Let Us Pray:

Merciful Father,  we are grateful that you are merciful and full of compassion, and that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.

Therefore,  we can boldly come before You, on the behalf of those who are tired of the way their life, business, marriage, or relationship is going. 

We ask forgiveness for the sins of disobedience, idolatry, rebellion, hardteartedness, self centeredness and others. 

Thank You for the grace of forgiveness of sins and cleansing from all unrighteousness, and for granting them the ability to do right. 

We stand against the forces of evil that reinforce old thought processes and old habits that frustrate the desire to change.

We also stand against the forces of evils that are manipulating adversities, projecting failures, and recycling of the status quo. 

We command to stand down at once, and go to the feet of Jesus Christ, all the forces of evils assigned to torment, oppress, intimidate, control or vex those who desire a new beginning.

We release to them now,  the enabling grace of God to perceive,  to know, and to obey the Word of God and to align with the perfect will of God.

We release success,  change, renewal, restorations and the supernatural ability to excel in life and in God’s ministry into your life. 

We proclaim a release of the new beginning and the grace to make unprecedented progress to you. 

I declare that you are cut off from all the weights that keep you from going forward, and from today, confusion,  indecision, wrong counselors and vision killers are banished from you.

Receive the grace for supernatural accomplishments.  Your life will never remain the same again.

I ask that God add to you people who will add value to you and help you attain your goals in life.

Thank You Father God for confirming my words and performing my counsel, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Text: ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭66:7‬ ‭

He rules by His might forever, His eyes observe and keep watch over the nations; let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! Psalm 66:7, AMPC 

Shalom praying partners.  We are praying today for our nation(s). 

Righteousness exalts a nation, whereas sin brings a reproach to a people.

A nation who recognizes God is blessed. And the opposite is true for the nation who has left-off following God.

However,  because we live in such nations, we are praying that God show mercy on our nation(s).

Let is Pray:

Dear Father God. On behalf of my nation of birth and citizenship, I come with gratitude.  If  Your mercy had not prevailed  over judgment,  only your chosen Elect would survive.

However, because you are merciful, gracious, kind and faithful, you have not destroyed our nations even though we have sunken into deep depravity.

I hereby identify with all the sins of sexual immorality; organized political, and medical crimes, injustices, murders, frauds, racism, evil decrees and many other crimes being committed against humanity and are sin to Your holiness.

We deserve what is coming,  but we ask that Your mercy prevail over those impending judgments.

Let not the rebellious continue to exalt themselves and overturn the counsel of the ungodly. 

Mercifully intervene in our nation, O God.

All the princes of satan, rulers of darkness, controlling leadership,  and other evil spirits that are influencing unrighteousness, rebellions, anarchy, deception,  betrayals, injustices, murders, and related evils, are to lose their hold over our nation…(add the name of your nation)

Merciful Father, remove the wicked and the rebellious from leadership, as well as those who have sold their souls to satan. 

Let all evil structures that facilitate evils be destroyed and deliver us from evil policies and politicians and wicked agendas. 

Visit our Health services and pharmaceutical industries O God, let your fear constrain them from execution of evils. 

Frustrate all evil decrees, and all other satanic efforts that contradicts your plan for Humanity.

Replace leadership that are sold out to evils,  and who are  working with the satanic mission to steal, kill and destroy humans. 

Reposition your people O God to Leadership positions, so that your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

As we close this year and open a new one, let your Prevailing Mercy be at the forefront of our lives. Continue ork in the people of this nation, to seek you.

We pray for the hunger and thirst of You Our God, to flood the hearts of the citizens of our nations again O God. 

Be merciful to us O God, in Jesus Christ matchless name we pray.

Text: ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:13‬ ‭

  [Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight. Philippians 2:13 AMPC

In retrospect, but God…

If God had not intervened to deliver us from some bad decisions,  life would have been so unbearable.

Think about how miserable you would have been if you had married  that partner who ghosted you,  or if you were not refused that employment or if you had delayed that trip!

When you look back  to how God pulled you back from the edge of the precipice, you are ready to pray the next year forward. 

Let us Pray:

Father God,  thank you for intervening in our lives to deliver us from destruction,  evil relationships, and from making decisions that would have had disastrous effects in our lives. 

We are grateful that your mercy prevailed over judgment, and you caused all things to work together for our good.

We stand against the spirits of errors, confusion, fear, as well as those evil spirits influencing information mismanagement, indecision, deception, people-pleasing, disobedience and their relatives, we command them to go at once to the feet of Jesus Christ.

We proclaim that your Word richly dwells in us by faith, we are filled and led by the Holy Spirit, and will continually walk in yieldedness, and obedience, to your plan and purpose for our lives.

We live as light and salt in this world and live as the righteous and always doing the right things at the right time. 

As we transition into a new year, Father, continue to work in us both to will and to do of your good pleasure and to continue to walk the pathways of excellence, productivity,  abundance of grace and mercies. 

We appreciate how you delivered us from evils, and kept us from making disastrous decisions or following disastrous paths this year. 

We ask that Your Prevailing Mercy extend to our families (by blood, by marriage, by adoption or by faith), and keep them from disobedience and deliver them from all evils too.

Work in us also Father, to be more discerning, to grow in grace and in knowledge, and to Excel in all areas of life this following years.

Touch our relationships, careers, academics, vocations,  ministries and our bodies and mind. Let them reflect your glory and attract praises to You, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Text: ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6:1‬ ‭

 BRETHREN, IF any person is overtaken in misconduct or sin of any sort, you who are spiritual [who are responsive to and controlled by the Spirit] should set him right and restore and reinstate him, without any sense of superiority and with all gentleness, keeping an attentive eye on yourself, lest you should be tempted also. Galatians 6:1 AMPC

Let us Pray:

Father God,  I thank you for this Reader. I ask that You reveal yourself to him/her in a manner relative to their desire.

I pray that in Your infinite mercies,  You’ll  touch their lives and circumstances to realign to your purposes and cause them to soberly reflect as this season closes. 

I plead the blood of Jesus Christ for forgiveness of sins and cleansing from all unrighteousness. 

I command all the tongues of accusations speaking against them to be silent, for the Blood is speaking better things on their behalf. 

As they start a new week, thank You God for keeping them safe and secure as you restrain the evil one and deliver them from temptations. 

I declare that healings,  prosperity, wholeness, protection and general well-being continues to manifest in their lives as they walk into the new year. 

Help Your people God to draw closer to you and fill them with the zeal to read their Bibles from Genesis to Revelation in pursuance of deeper intimacy with you.  

Father, thank You, for working in them both to will and to do of your good pleasure, and to grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ.

Empower your people O God so that their strength and faith can stand against whatever comes against them.

Enrich their lives as they make You the focus of their existence and release to them the riches of the Gentiles accrued to them, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️

Text:  1 Peter 3:7

Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honor unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

1 Peter 3:7 KJVAE.

Today, we shall be praying for  believing spouses to pray together and keep praying together.  

Because of the tremendous power in both the prayer of agreement and  the prayer of the righteous, Satan is always working at frustrating married couples from praying together .

Let us Pray:

Father God, thank you for the honor in marriage and for the power available through married Believers.

We ask forgiveness for couples who have allowed their selfish,  self centered and ignorance to hinder them from praying together .

We come against all the evil spirits influencing, resentment, bitterness, anger, pride, religious bigotry, inferiority and superiority complexity.

I command those evil spirits to leave the world of Believing  married couples, and go at once to the feet of Jesus Christ.

We pray that Believing Spouses will learn to forgive without waiting for apology, live in unity, and harmony:  be mutually submissive, and to love, honor, respect, nourish, and cherish each other.

We pray also that they be a blessing to their world as they pray, study, and worship together, and to preach the Gospel together.

Thank you Father for your merciful intervention in restoring our married couples to Your ideal and purposes,  in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️
