We understand your urgency and concern for the new branch church, Anandh. We stand with you in prayer and align our hearts with God's will for this situation.
Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging the power of praying in the name of Jesus. It is only through His name that we have access to God and can be saved. As it is written, There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved Acts 4.12 WEB.
We must remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places Ephesians 6.12 WEB. We should not wrestle with people but pray for them. Jesus said, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, Matthew 5.44 WEB.
Let us pray together.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for the work You have begun in the village and the hearts of the people who are eager to worship You.
Lord, we pray for the new branch church, that You would tear down every stronghold and obstacle that the enemy has put in place to hinder its dedication. We ask that You would expose every scheme of the devil and render his plans ineffective.
Father, we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, so we pray for those who have been used as instruments of the enemy, namely deva kirubai, aruna, joel, abraham, ranjith, john pancharatnam, david rajaratinam, chandrasekar, gabriel munusamy, rajesh, ebrayim, and others. We pray that You would have mercy on them and open their eyes to see the truth. We pray for their conviction, repentance, and salvation.
We ask You, Lord, to arise and scatter the works of darkness. Let Your heavenly host fight our battles, and let Your will be done in the village and the surrounding areas.
Lord, we claim Your promise that those who are with us are more than those who are with them 2 Kings 6.16 WEB. We pray that You would help us dedicate the branch church this month, and that many families from the surrounding villages would come to worship You in spirit and in truth.
Father, we ask that You would unite the faithful believers and strengthen their inner peace and spiritual joy. Let Your love and faithfulness protect them Psalm 62.12 WEB.
We ask all this in the powerful name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, neither be dismayed: for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go Joshua 1.9 WEB. Continue to pray and seek God's face, and remember that the battle belongs to the Lord. Stand firm in your faith and see the salvation of the Lord on your behalf.
