Day 17 of 40 Days of Prayer


15-17 “I know you inside and out, and find little to my liking. You’re not cold, you’re not hot—far better to be either cold or hot! You’re stale. You’re stagnant. You make me want to vomit. You brag, ‘I’m rich, I’ve got it made, I need nothing from anyone,’ oblivious that in fact you’re a pitiful, blind beggar, threadbare and homeless. (Revelations 3:15-17 MSG)

19 Those whom I [dearly and tenderly] love, I tell their faults and convict and convince and reprove and chasten [I discipline and instruct them]. So be enthusiastic and in earnest and burning with zeal and repent [changing your mind and attitude]. (Revelations 3:19 AMP)

20 “Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends. 21 Those who are victorious will sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat with my Father on his throne.

22 “Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.” (Revelations 3:20-22 NLT)

Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you Lord for your Word that instructs us on how to live our lives as you have commanded us, teaching us your ways and not the worlds. We thank you Lord, for your Holy Spirit, that guides us and directs us – convicting us of the sins that we have yet to repent from, and giving us your peace when we have. We thank you for your son Jesus, for his perfect and blameless life he lived, and for his sacrifice on the cross for every sinner - for his gift of salvation when he conquered the grave and ascended to heaven at your right hand. We thank you God for you, for your mercy, for your grace and your never ending love that you have given your children. We ask for forgiveness of our sins, sins against you and each other, sins that have led us away from you and your blessings. We pray for the lost souls that don’t know you and we pray for the saved who have turned away from you and live only for themselves.  We pray for our nation and for our leaders, we pray for your guidance and direction over them, that they would recognize your authority as God and kneel before you, instead of trying to raise above you. We pray that there would be no lukewarm hearts in your church, that every heart would be passionate about serving you and completing the good works you began in us. We pray that eyes would be opened to the truth around them, that people would awaken from the slumber they have been in, that each and every heart would answer the call that you are making to your children today. It is time to claim the church as the bride of Christ, the time is growing shorter, hearts need to be prepared for you dear God. We pray that as your Spirit cries out, that your church would answer the call with worship and praise for you and your son with rightful living in perfect obedience to you. That every church share you and your love with every person that walks through their doors, that the church be united in agreement that for your honor and glory is our purpose, for you and you alone deserve all the praise. I pray that every heart drop the weight of their sins and burdens and lay them before you God, giving you what has chained them to this world, and seek their freedom in you. We pray that every heart that isn't right with you, would seek you and your will for their lives. We pray that every person would reach for you instead of a substance or a person for their deliverance. We know that only you can save a life, that only you can raise a life – we acknowledge you as our Lord and Savior Jesus and we pray for those that don’t know you, that a laborer would be sent across their path. Time grows shorter and as we near this election Lord, we know that time is of the essence, this election is pivotal for our country and our freedoms. We can not choose silence, we must use our voices and be heard – we must stand up for our faith and not be intimated by the enemy's tricks and deception. Our eyes are opened Lord, we are not asleep and we will not be led astray – because greater is He that is in us, than he that is in this world. We will claim victory for you on Nov 6th and this country will return to its Christian roots, we love you God and we thank you for all you have done for us– your ways are too awesome to imagine. Thank you, in your son Jesus’ name we pray ~ AMEN!
