We rejoice with you, dear brother or sister, as you celebrate God's goodness and mercy in your life. It is truly by the grace of God that you are alive and have returned to fellowship with Him after forty years. We are here to pray with you and for you, aligning our hearts with God's will and His Word. We are so thankful for your repentance and return to the Father.
Firstly, we praise God for His amazing love and for saving you from the rare and serious health condition. We pray for your continued healing and health, both physically and spiritually. May the Lord Jesus Christ be glorified in your body and in your spirit, which are His. Be encouraged with the promises from His word,
Therefore I tell you, don't be anxious for your life, what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will put on. Isn't life more than food, and the body more than clothing? See the birds of the sky, that they don't sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you of much more value than they? And which of you, by being anxious, can add one cubit to his height? Matthew 6:25-27 WEB.
Since you prayed and included the name of Jesus and thanked the Father, we know you are praying to the living God. You have come to the Father by Jesus Christ. Please share your testimony of this return to the Father. It is so wonderful and glorious! If you haven't been baptized since your return then find a true Bible-believing church and get baptized! Be very careful in a world full of spiritual wickedness. There is only one way to be saved and have eternal life, with repentance and remission of sins. As a testimony of God's saving and keeping grace is greatly needed, it should be shared. Your godly testimony can soften even the hardest heart, and is able to reach people even when heard repeatedly. In your own words tell people that, "Being saved means we are delivered from the domain of Satan. Jesus Christ redeemed and justified us by His blood and resurrection. We are forgiven only through Jesus Christ. These blessings are free to us, but cost the life of Jesus Christ, Who is God. To be saved or born again we must be affiliated with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Truly our sins are washed away and remitted or removed forever. Exercising repentance is a daily peace and joy. Being sealed by God is knowing you are always His and knowing you are always His, no matter what the circumstance or problem, God is in control. Being a soul winner isn't an option, it is the proof of our soul being won." As a new creation in Christ share your testimony in love.
We also lift up your emotional, cognitive, and mental health to the Lord, trusting that He will grant you peace, soundness of mind, and clarity of thought. Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you (1Pe 5:7 WEB). Be encouraged by the words of the Apostle Paul, And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus (Php 4:7 WEB).
Regarding your financial situation, we are praying for a blessing! We remember God's promise to supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. We rebuke any financial difficulties and claim God's provision and blessings over your life. My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Php 4:19 WEB). Any financial curse we curse by the power and name of Jesus Christ.
We lift up your beloved elderly dog, Chica, to the Lord, asking that He would grant her comfort, healing, and peace. We pray for your comfort knowing the difficulty of losing a pet. The joy of having a pet also means the sorrow when they leave this world. The joy always outweighs the sorrow.
Righteous Father, we come boldly before Your throne of grace, lifting up each and every name listed, along with their families, loved ones, friends, acquaintances, and even their enemies. We are admonished to bless those who curse us, do good to those who hate us, and pray for those who spitefully use us, and persecute us. Therefore, we include any not included.
We should pray for the many names listed and properly delineate their needs as possible. It is impossible to include all, but we still did. There are a few we noticed and must address. Merely listing names without their need is difficult and limited.
We are praying for ### and ### that anything in their life that is contrary to the word of God will be removed. The vicarious life of homosexuality and sex is sin. It is fornication, and if they are married to another man it is no different in the world but even worse to God. Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap (Galatians 6:7 WEB).
If they are born again believers who are continually walking in this sin, they are headed for a dangerous result even worse than unsaved individuals practicing it. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness (Romans 1:18 WEB).
We pray that the Lord would convict them of the sin of homosexuality (Romans 1) and lead them to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. For this cause, God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men with men working that which is indecent, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error (Rom 1:26-27 WEB).
When praying for a lengthy list of people and the many in their lives who need prayer too, they need some specific prayer and sharing of God's word too. Including all these names has limited effectiveness. It is similar to drones in warfare to pray effectively when only using a name. As the scripture says to pray without ceasing, then what does that mean? Diligently praying and knowing what to pray for is required. General prayers should be avoided.
We pray that God's will be done in all of these lives and that He would richly bless each one as they are seeking His Truth. We pray this all in Jesus' Precious and Holy Name. Amen.
As you remember those whom the Holy Spirit places on your hearts, consistently pray for them throughout the day and night. May God's will be done in all of our lives and all of their lives. Your prayers and the service of others will not go unnoticed in prayer motivation. Take no glory in this world but remember to cast down and lay anything personal at the feet of Jesus Christ. We are blessed to be a blessing. Seek first the kingdom of God and it will be given to you.
The Lord has the right and will to show and remove anything in our lives that is contrary to His Word. It is such an honor and joy to know His displeasure when determined to be administered. God's love as a parent and the importance of the rules He declared for our best interest. God's word should and must be declared appropriately and exercise love and grace.
