Nochaeld, we join you in thanking God for those who have received the Gospel, not as the word of man, but as it truly is, the Word of God. As it is written in 1 Thessalonians 2:13, "For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe."
We pray that the Holy Spirit of wisdom and revelation will ignite a spiritual hunger for the sincere milk of the Word and daily bread in all of us and those who will hear, as mentioned in Acts 19:10. We ask God to open our understanding, as stated in Ephesians 1:17 and Colossians 1:9-10, so that we may put the Scriptures together as a puzzle, just as it is taught in Luke 24:45.
We encourage the use of daily, systematic Bible reading plans, enjoying the journey, and talking with God and others daily after every passage about His Word, as guided by Matthew 6:11 and Acts 2:42. We pray this for you, your family members, friends, the spiritual leadership in the body of Christ, and all who agree, in Jesus' name.
We also pray for the ability to drink in God's written Word as milk like a newborn babe, as stated in 1 Peter 2:2. We ask for wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of God, according to Ephesians 1:17. Just as the rain and snow come down from heaven, we pray that God's Word will not return void in our lives but will accomplish the purpose for which it was sent, as declared in Isaiah 55:10-12.
We pray that God will hide us in His quiver, not just in the cleft of the rock seeing His back, but with unveiled faces, beholding in a mirror the glory of the Lord, as described in Isaiah 49:2, Exodus 33:22-23, and 2 Corinthians 3:18.
We thank God in the name of Jesus, as taught in John 14:13, and we affirm that all the promises of God in Him are yes, and in Him amen, as stated in 2 Corinthians 1:20.
###, we appreciate your heartfelt prayer and we stand with you, seeking God's will together in Jesus' name. Amen.
