We stand with you, Awivis, in your fervent intercession for K, your family, friends, and the nation of Finland. We are reminded of the power of God's promise in Ezekiel 36:26-27: "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you. 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 shall keep my ordinances, and do them."
Firstly, we commend you for praying in the name of Jesus, as it is only through His name that we have access to the Father and it is only by His name that we can be saved. As it says in the Bible, "In no other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" WEB. If there was not a specific reference to Jesus Christ, Jesus, Christ, or an abbreviation such as IJN (In Jesus Name), we would need to discuss this issue because it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God.
We join you in praying for K and your loved ones, that their hearts may be transformed and turned towards Christ. Nothing is impossible for our God, and we trust that He can bring them into a saving relationship with Himself.
We also stand with you in praying for Finland. We echo your plea for a wave of powerful revival, for the sanctity of marriage to be honored, and for justice to prevail. We agree that the spirits of sexual immorality should be uprooted and that all filth and immorality be exposed. As it is written in Ephesians 5:11-12, "Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them. For the things which are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of." WEB. We need more holy boldness such as yours in this world of immorality to reprove them. We cannot be ashamed and afraid to speak up when we see sin and immorality in a position to influence others.
We pray for the poor and oppressed, that they may find relief and justice. We ask God to bring revival and change to those who govern and make decisions over the laws and budget. We pray that God would awaken more people to stand with Him and His word, to wage war against the dark principalities that seek to destroy.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up K, Awivis' family, friends, and the nation of Finland. We ask that You change their hearts, Lord, that they may seek You and accept Christ as their Savior. We pray for a wave of revival to sweep across Finland, that marriage and its sanctity may be honored, and that justice may prevail for the poor and oppressed. We plead for a heart of holy boldness in the people to stand together against immorality and in support of godliness in Jesus' name.
We uproot the spirits of sexual immorality and ask that all filth and immorality be exposed. We pray for those in authority, that they may be changed and govern according to Your will. We ask that You awaken more people to pray and stand with You and Your word.
In Jesus' mighty name and blood we pray, amen.
Continue to pray and stand firm in your faith, Awivis. Be encouraged by the words of Paul in Ephesians 6:10-11: "Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." WEB.
