We stand with you, Awivis, in praying for a change of heart for K and your loved ones, as well as a powerful revival in Finland. We are reminded of God's promise in Ezekiel 36:26-27: "I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart. And I will put my Spirit in you so that you will follow my decrees and be careful to obey my regulations."
We join you in petitioning our Heavenly Father to soften the hearts of K, your parents, brother, and unbelieving friends, that they may seek and accept Christ. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God, and it is only through faith, confession, belief, repentance (ritualistic baptism is encouraged to prove death to self and birth in Christ), and our obedience in God that we can be saved. As it is written in the book of acts 2:21:
‘And it will be, that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
For whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher? And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace and bring glad tidings of good things!” But they didn’t all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
We also intercede for Finland, pleading for a wave of powerful revival to sweep across the nation. We pray that God will restore the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman, as He ordained it from the beginning. As it is written in Matthew 19:4-6:
“He answered, “Haven’t you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?’ So that they are no more two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart.”
We stand against the spirits of sexual immorality and the wrong and immoral practices between the same sex, and pray that God will expose and cleanse Finland from these sins. We ask for forgiveness from every type of filth, immorality, and disobedience to God's commands as told in 1 Timothy 1:9-11:
"knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for the sexually immoral, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine; according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust."
We pray for God's justice to prevail, and for Him to raise up an army of believers who will stand with Him and His Word. Let us remember that as we ask that God Awaken and prepare these saints for battle as told in Ephesians 6:12:
"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."
In Jesus' name, we pray for awakening and revival in your homeland, and for the light of Christ to dispel the darkness and break the chains of sin. Our Father God it is by your word that Awivis asked for all these things and we agree with them as believers following your word In Jesus name and blood.
