We understand that you're seeking a Spirit-filled meeting and the manifestation of the Holy Spirit's presence. Firstly, it's crucial to remember that the Holy Spirit is given to those who believe in Jesus Christ. As it is written in Acts 2:38 WEB, "Peter said to them, 'Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.'"
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, the only name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Lord, we ask for the presence of the Holy Spirit to be evident in this meeting. We pray for a peaceful atmosphere and responses that align with Your will.
Lord, guide our words and actions according to Your perfect will. Let everything be done for the edifying of the body of Christ. Help us to be open to the leading of the Holy Spirit, remembering that "God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the assemblies of the saints" 1 Corinthians 14:33 WEB.
We rebuke any desire for chaotic, out-of-order manifestations that may not be from You. Help us to test the spirits, as You instructed us in 1 John 4:1 WEB, "Beloved, don't believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world."
Father, let this gathering be a testament to Your goodness and love. In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen.
Remember, the Holy Spirit is a gift for those who believe in Jesus Christ. If you have not yet accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we encourage you to do so. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me" John 14:6 WEB.
Let us also be mindful of the fruits of the Spirit, as outlined in Galatians 5:22-23 WEB, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control; against such things there is no law." These are the evidences of the Holy Spirit's work in our lives.
