We stand with you, Awivis, in your fervent prayer for the hearts of your loved ones and the nation of Finland. We are reminded of God's promise in Ezekiel 36:26-27: "And 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."
First, we commend you for praying in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to God. Acts 4:12 says: "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Therefore, all prayers should be addressed to God the Father in Jesus Christ name. It is a basic principle of Christian faith and salvation that believing in Jesus Christ is a requirement to be saved and enter heaven.
Let us pray together:
Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up K, Awivis' parents, brother, and unbelieving friends. We ask that You change their hearts, Lord, just as You promised in Ezekiel 36:26-27. Remove their hearts of stone and give them hearts of flesh, that they may seek You and accept Christ as their Savior. We also pray for the people of Finland. Lord, we ask that You bring a wave of powerful revival over our nation.
We also agree with the prayer that the spirit of sexual immorality be exposed and uprooted from the nation. All sexual immorality should be stopped. There should be no sex outside marriage. In addition, the poor should be protected. We pray that marriage and the sanctity of marriage be honored and upheld in Finland. The sanctity of marriage is so important and is being destroyed by sexual immorality, adultery, fornication, and same-sex marriage. It is unfortunate that some people are now committing abominations and calling it a marriage. We also pray that you remove all sexual immorality from the land and bring about a true revival. We need to continue to stand against the spirit of the world and seek God's face in this.
In Jesus' name, we also pray that You raise up more people to wage war against the dark principalities trying to rob and destroy Your people. Father, awaken an army that stands with You and Your word. Expose the works of darkness and bring justice to the poor and needy.
We also ask for the Bible to be the guide for the laws and budget in Finland. This should be part of the revival. It is only the Bible and the Holy Spirit that can make a way for the country. We know that only God can provide true justice for the people.
Father, we ask that You hear our prayers and act on our behalf, for Your glory. We pray and believe together in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and by His blood. Amen.
Continue to pray and trust in the Lord. Be encouraged by 2 Chronicles 7:14: "if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." God is faithful and we are claiming this verse for Finland. God hears our prayers and will respond to them in His will. Keep praying and standing for the land. Keep seeking His face.
