#6362 – Pray Salvation

Good morning people who relentlessly pray in alignment with the perfect will of God.

Isaiah 43:5-7 NIV Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. 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 – everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.

If you need a prophetic declaration to pray for the unsaved, here it is! Pray this scripture!

Here’s what the Lord declares:

Do not be afraid, for I am with you!

I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west!

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 – everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.

There is power in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ; power to save, deliver, heal and set free! It’s time to stand in the gap; to pray and intercede for those who don’t know Jesus as their personal Lord and Saviour.

May this Christmas be marked by many people being saved in Jesus’ name!

Here’s my prayer:

Use any means or methods Lord to draw people to Yourself. Use the Christmas carols and the nativity scenes. Even use the controversies that happen as people debate what should be allowed and what should be banned; let what the enemy means for evil be turned into something good in Jesus’ name! It’s time for salvation in Jesus’ name! AMEN!

#6361 – On People’s Behalf

Good morning people who stand in the gap and earnestly pray for the unsaved.

2 Corinthians 4:4 NIV The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

We are in a spiritual battle. Those who are unsaved are in a spiritual battle, and yet most of them do not know this as a reality. Therefore, they need some intercessors who stand in the gap and pray on their behalf!

The greatest gift we can give to those we love is not a physical present, but it is us praying for their salvation.

The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers.

As we pray and intercede for the unsaved, we need to bind the spirit of deception and the father of lies. We need to rebuke the devil and take a stand in the realm of the Spirit. We don’t pray passively or nonchalantly for those who are destined for eternal life but are presently in the grip of the enemy. We fight for them in prayer!

Pray that unbelievers see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

As we approach this Christmas season, let this scripture be our sincere and earnest prayer for those who don’t know Christ. They might be delightfully wonderful people, but they desperately – and I mean desperately – need Jesus!

Everyone needs a Saviour, and His name is Jesus Christ! He is the Way, the Truth, and He is the Life that is the Light of the world! We need Jesus!

#6360 – Look at Jesus

Good morning people who look intently into the face of our beautiful Saviour. 

Hebrews 12:2 NIV Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

The more you look at the Son, the clearer your vision becomes.

In the natural, the more you look at the sun, the more blind you will become. I mean, if you literally look intently at the sun, it’s damaging to your eyes.

But in the spiritual, the more we look at Jesus, the clearer our spiritual vision and perception becomes. Everything finds its right place and priority in light of Jesus.

Fixing our eyes on Jesus…

Open your Bible and fix your eyes on Jesus.

Pray and fix your eyes on Jesus.

See other people and fix your eyes on Jesus.

Come up against a problem and fix your eyes on Jesus.

Be complimented by someone and fix your eyes on Jesus.

Have pain in your body and fix your eyes on Jesus.

Think about the future and fix your eyes on Jesus.

There is NOTHING that this simple focus does not apply to! In everything, fix your eyes on Jesus!

The more you look at the Son, the clearer your vision becomes.

#6359 – Jesus is More

Good morning people who are grateful for the matchless wonder of our Jesus.

Isaiah 9:6-7 NIV For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.

Whatever view we have of Jesus, He is more, He is greater! He is infinitely above and beyond whatever we could imagine! He is higher, He is more delightful, He is more powerful. His kindness supersedes all human comprehension. He is the Light, the Way, the Truth, and the Life!

Jesus was born, and yet a Son was given. Jesus didn’t commence His existence at birth. He preceded His birth. From everlasting to everlasting, the Word is God. He is the Son, and He was given for us.

He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. He is all-powerful and nothing is greater than Jesus. Everything has been placed under His feet; all rule and authority, all powers and dominion – everything!

There will be no end to the greatness of His government and peace. His government – His rule and reign on earth as it is in heaven – brings peace. He is the Prince of Peace. He is the One whose authority is the only pure authority that results in abundant life.

His reign is marked by justice and righteousness. He declares what is and how things should be. He is the Author of what is just and what is right. His ways are perfect. He is Perfect.

This is the declaration of the Lord about Jesus. This is what our world needs an encounter with today. This is the truth of the Gospel and the meaning of Christmas. This is Jesus. This is our God.

#6358 – A Great Light

Good morning people who actively celebrate the Light of the World who has come.

Isaiah 9:2 NIV The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.

Many are living in deep darkness today. The darkness seems to be getting darker, and now, even light is called darkness, and darkness is called light. Our world needs an encounter with the living God.

This month, we are actively going to celebrate and focus on Jesus in BIY. He is always the centre of it all, but there are times when it needs to be exclusively about Him. Now is the time.

Let’s make a bold and loud declaration together today: Jesus is the Light of the World!

John 8:12 NIV When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

The darkness that humanity experiences in the human soul can only be overcome through the Light of the world coming into our lives and lighting the way. Jesus is the light of life!

This month, let us intentionally pray for those we know who are not walking with the Lord. These precious people are bound in darkness, but this does not have to be the end! They do not need to die in darkness – they can come into the light and become fully alive in God!

Let’s pray the following scripture over those who need to come into the light.

John 1:1-5 NIV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Together, we declare that the darkness will not overcome those we love! We declare that the light will shine in the darkness. We declare that life is found in the light. And we declare that Jesus Christ is the Light of the world!

Lord, let Your light shine this December!
