We stand with you, Awivis, in your fervent prayer for the hearts of your loved ones and the revival of your homeland, Finland. Let us take strength from the promise in Ezekiel 36:26-27, "A new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you, and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and I will give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you will keep My judgements and do them."
First, let's pray together for K and your loved ones who do not yet know Christ. It's critical to pray for them and their new birth in Christ. As the scriptures show, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new" IJC is the only way to be saved "no other name under heaven given to men to save us". We need to pray without stopping for the lost to come to believe Jesus Christ. We can never give up until they do.
Father God, we ask You to soften their hearts. Remove the stony, stubborn resistance from them and give them tender, receptive hearts. Put Your Holy Spirit within them so they may long for You and Your ways and be saved in IJN.
Now, let us address the needs of your beloved nation, Finland. Jesus taught us to pray "Your Kingdom come, your will be done", so we will pray this for our Christian brothers and sisters in Finland. Such amazing things are promised in Christ Jesus regarding Revival and healing of a nation or for that matter, any of our cities if we believe and repent of our unbiblical ways. We read in this parable about a city repenting as is recorded in Matthew 11:15-24. If the followers of Christ Jesus will pray together in accordance of His will and prayers, then revivals could happen as recorded in 2nd Chronicles 7:14 with revival, restoration, and healing "The humble themselves and pray and repent of their wicked ways", then many marvelous things could happen in Finland!
As praying and enduring goes, remember Isaiah 62:6-7 , "I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the Lord, give yourselves no rest and give Him no rest till He establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the Earth.
Father in Jesus' name and blood shed for us, we now pray for Finland. We pray for the revival you promise in Your Word, a revival that brings honor to marriage and restores the sanctity of it. We uproot the spirits of sexual immorality and pray that all filth and immorality be exposed and cast out. We ask You to awaken more people to pray and stand against the dark principalities trying to rob and destroy Your people. Raise up an army that stands with You and Your Word, Father God.
We ask You to guide those who decide over our laws and budget. Let the crushing of the poor stop, and bring justice to Your people.
We stand with you, Awivis, believing that nothing is impossible for our God. We pray that His will be done in the hearts of your loved ones and in the nation of Finland. We ask this all in Jesus' mighty name and blood, Amen.
