Day 9Praying His Prayers Friday February 23, 2018
|
Devotional:
Today’s devotion is dedicated to to all my Sisters and Brothers in Christ. Dear Friend, as you are reading this, I am praying it directly to our Abba Father for you. I love these prayers from God’s Word. I think they are the most powerful prayers for the saints in the Bible. One is from Jesus to God, two from the Apostle Paul. When I pray these prayers for others, including myself- and I do it daily, I picture Jesus and Paul earnestly offering the words to our Father right along with me. What two better Prayer Warriors can you invite into your prayer circle? … Where two or more or gathered… WOW. Now that packs a spiritual punch.
I pray His prayers now with great love for you. And it is my prayer, that you might dedicate today’s devotion to praying these prayers on a brethren’s behalf. . Grace and Peace, Amen.
Father God, thank you for your Word, that I may pray from it, and for my righteousness in Christ through His atoning death on the cross for my sins, that I may stand before the throne of grace and offer these prayers for you - my precious brothers and sisters:
Beloved Friends- I have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light. For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:9-14
Yes, Jesus, thank you, thank you for your love and consecration- oh, I pray your prayer to God as a humble and joyous Amen-
I pray for them. I’m not praying for the God-rejecting world
But for those you gave me, for they are yours by right.
Holy Father, guard them as they pursue this life That you conferred as a gift through me,
So they can be one heart and mind, as we are one heart and mind.
But that you guard them from the Evil One.
They are no more defined by the world. Make them holy—consecrated—with the truth;
Your word is consecrating truth.
In the same way that you gave me a mission in the world, I give them a mission in the world.
I’m consecrating myself for their sakes, so they’ll be truth-consecrated in their mission. (excerpted from John 17 - The Message)

Prayer: |
My dear friends, I pray to our Father now that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen. Eph. 3:16-21
