We stand with you in prayer, ###, lifting up the many concerns and needs you've shared. Let us approach the throne of grace with confidence, as instructed in Hebrews 4:16, "Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need."
Firstly, we pray for the persecuted Christians around the world. We remember the words of Jesus in John 16:33, "In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world." We pray for their strength, endurance, and deliverance from their persecutors. May the Lord bring more believers like Peter in Acts 12:5 that can be earnest in the Lord's praying for the persecuted. We pray also of ###'s who quaked in the Resurrection Power of Prayer and brought light to England. May believers pray for the persecuted so the windows of Heaven be opened. We pray for your prayers to align with God's word, will, and way. We pray that the persecuted have their needs supplied according to the riches of God's glory in Christ Jesus.
We pray for the peace and salvation of Israel, recognizing the Lord's promise in Romans 11:26, "And so all Israel will be saved." We ask the Father to draw many to Jesus, remembering His words in John 6:44, "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him." We pray for blessing to Israel and Jerusalem as we pray for repentance in accord to Psalms 122:6 and 1 Kings 8:56 and Zechariah 8:22 and Romans 10 1-2:.
We intercede for the salvation of many around the world, including the three billion unreached. We claim the promise of 1 Timothy 2:4, "who [God our Savior] desires that all people should be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth." May the Father draw many to Jesus, and may we be vessels to share the Good News in Jesus Name.
We cry out for the protection of children around the world, remembering Jesus' words in Matthew 18:6, "But whoever shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea." We pray for the Lord's intervention and deliverance for these children, and for the conviction and repentance of those who harm them. We also pray for God's smiting and exposing of the abomination of child pornography and any heterosexual immorality.
We pray for all those on the brink of starvation and suffering from poverty, sickness, disease, natural disasters, and war. We remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 25:35-36, "For I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in. I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me." May the Lord provide for their needs and bring comfort and healing. We pray for war to end and that those in the army may become ministers for Christ Jesus and put down their weapons of war and become beacons of light in the nation. Heterosexual immorality is ripe in any army where men live closely together for long periods so may the bride of Christ reach out to the millions of soldiers for the Lord.
We pray for an awakening in the church universal, recognizing the signs of the times and the need for sound biblical teaching. May the Lord protect His church from falling away, as warned in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, "Let no one deceive you in any way. For the Day will not come, unless the departure comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction."
We lift up families, praying for protection, salvation, deliverance, healing, unity, and reconciliation, seeing 1 Corinthians 7:14 and Joshua 24:15. We pray for the salvation of your family members and that they may be delivered from bondage and turn their lives over to Jesus Christ. Holy Ghost, please align relationships to the will of the Father and may the truth come out and the spirit of bondage be rebuked and broken. We also stand against sexual immorality for the criminal allegations made against the family and cast out devils.
We pray for strength, encouragement, and endurance for all Christians around the world, remembering the words of Jesus in John 16:33, "In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world." May we be filled with the Holy Spirit, shun sin, and walk in His ways, as instructed in Galatians 5:16, "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh."
Finally, we address the issue of salvation and rebuking as needed. ### mention drawing near to God for salvation. We must make sure to end by pointing out that there are no 'relationships' in the Kingdom of God. Possibly the Lord of glory is aiming for you to put away all heterosexual immorality and come for help to the Bride for proper guidance and counsel in the Word. The word 'relationship' does not exist in the Bible.
Heavenly Father, we come before You, to seek Your will and in the name above all Names which is Jesus Christ. We lift these people up to you and ask for your intervention in their lives. Praise come to Jesus Christ. AMEN.
