Today we are going back
to personal prayer life most of what I share is straight
from Larry Lea’s book
“Could you Not Tarry One Hour?”
you can purchase it here
Today we
are talking about the second ten minutes of our journey towards learning to
pray an hour. I am sure you probably found it hard to keep your first 5 minutes
to just 5 minutes. The names of God are
mind boggling. The name of God and who God is, is the very helmet of Salvation
in the armor of God. Blessed is the man
whose mind is stayed on You. So today our 5 minutes are on the second line of
the Lords prayer.
no this is not a true picture of heaven just a picture
THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE, ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN
We need to focus our day, our time and everything on the Kingdom of God. This is the most important message
for anyone going into warfare. It is the
only purpose of Spiritual Warfare so here are the areas to pray God’s Kingdom
come in.
(a)
YOURSELF You most get your
mind and life to a place where all that you do Glorifies God and it is all
about the King and His Kingdom. This
week try researching a little about what God Kingdom
is. Here are a few scriptures.
Romans 12:1 KJV I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Rom. 14:17 - The kingdom of God
is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy
Spirit.
- The Kingdom
of God is His presence.
As Jesus rules in your heart, the Kingdom
of God is manifested.
Pray, "Let your righteousness, Your peace, and Your joy be in me
today."
1 Cor. 4:20 - For the kingdom of God
does not consist in words, but in power.
- Pray over priorities God has set over your life. Pray for
concerns of the day. Speak out priorities. Ask the Holy Spirit to empower you
with abilities, efficiency, and might.
(b) YOUR FAMILY
- Pray over their needs. Pray that God's righteousness, peace, and
joy will be in them. Pray for their salvation.
Neh. 4:14 - Do not be afraid of them [the enemy], remember the Lord
who is great and awesome and fight for your brothers, your sons, your
daughters, your wives, and your houses.
Rom 10:1 - Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for
them is for their salvation.
(c) YOUR CHURCH
1. PASTOR
- Pray for God to anoint him, speak to him, and direct him. Pray
that God gives him a shepherd's heart, will impart wisdom to him as he spends
time in the Word and in prayer, and will make him a pure channel through which
the gifts and power of the Holy Spirit can flow. Do not pray any prayer that
Control or ask God’s control what you want your pastor be or do. Never raise you tongue in attack against your
Pastor that is God’s job.
2. LEADERS
- Call and list leaders' names in prayer (home fellowship group
leaders, assistants, deacons, ect.) Pray for a specific need if the Holy Spirit
shows you something for someone.
- Pray that the Lord will make the various groups and
organizations healthy and productive.
3. FAITHFULNESS
- Pray people will be faithful to their family (members of
household), to the vision God has given your church, to Jesus, with their
tithes, and to serve Jesus as Lord.
4. HARVEST
- Pray
the Holy Spirit, like a divine magnet, will repel those who are not to become a
part of your church and attract those who are, and that the Holy Spirit will
draw people out of the north, south, east, and west.
Is.
43:5-6 - Do
not fear, for I [God] am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east,
And gather you from the west.
6 I
will say to the north, 'Give them up!' And to the south, 'Do not hold them
back.' Bring My sons from afar, and My daughters from the ends of the earth.
Eph.
2:2 - You
formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince
of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of
disobedience.
Eph.
2:2 (LB)- You
went along with the crowd and were just like all the others, full of sin,
obeying Satan, the mighty prince of the power of the air, who is at work right
now in the hearts of those who are against the Lord.
-
Powers and Principalities hold the reigns over certain areas. Speak to an area
as a person. "North, you have people God wills to become a part of this
church. I command you in the name of Jesus to release every person who is
supposed to be in this church."
-
"South, the will of God be done in you. Do not hold them back! I command
you to release every person the Holy Spirit is drawing to become a part of this
body."
- God
has ordained people in these areas to be saved, planted, established,
strengthened, and settled in your church.
- Pray
in Jesus' name that God will dispatch angels to minister to the heirs of
salvation, and that the Holy Spirit, the Lord of the harvest, will draw the
people and plant them in the church.
Heb.
1:14 - Are
they [angels] not all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the
sake of those who will inherit salvation. Heb. 1:14 (LB) - The
angels are only spirit-messengers sent out to help and care for those who are
to receive his salvation.
Matt.
9:37-38 -
Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers
are few.
38
Therefore beseech [ask] the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His
harvest.
(d)
NATION
- Pray
leaders to have wisdom of God. Check out my post from______________
Prov.
8:15-16 (GN)
- I [wisdom] help kings to govern and rulers to make good laws.
16
Every ruler on earth governs with wisdom's help, statesmen and noblemen alike.
- Pray spiritual leaders will walk in wisdom, be people of
prayer, and be kept by the power of God.
- Pray
specifically. Call leaders by name. Pray for revival, peace of Jerusalem,
success of Israel,
and for other nations' needs.
