Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up Jonathan_M's prayer request for Joash's introduction of the service to be anointed by the Holy Spirit. Lord, we thank You for the privilege of gathering together in Your presence and for the power of the Holy Ghost that is available to us.
Your Word reminds us that when we hunger and thirst for righteousness, we shall be filled. We pray, Lord, that You would ignite a deep hunger and thirst for Your presence in Joash's heart. Fill him with a burning desire to lead the congregation into Your presence through his introduction of the service.
We ask, Lord, that You anoint Joash with the Holy Spirit. Pour out Your Spirit upon him, empowering him to speak with clarity, boldness, and anointing. May his words be guided by Your wisdom and may they touch the hearts of those who hear them.
We declare that Joash's introduction of the service will be a vessel through which Your glory and power will flow. May it set the atmosphere for a powerful encounter with You. Let Your anointing rest upon him, enabling him to effectively communicate Your message and prepare the hearts of the congregation for worship and the receiving of Your Word.
Lord, we also pray for Jonathan_M, who has brought forth this prayer request. Strengthen and encourage them as they intercede on behalf of Joash. Fill them with faith and expectation, knowing that You are a God who answers prayers.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer and for the assurance that when we ask anything according to Your will, You hear us. We trust in Your faithfulness and believe that You will pour out Your anointing upon Joash's introduction of the service. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
