Hello and welcome to the podcast, my name is Nicole. You are listening to Pray the Word. In this season of Pray the Word we will be using a resource called Praying God's Word Over Your City; 40 Days of Prayer Toward a Transformed Community by Trey and Mary Anne Kent, an excellent resource that has more within each "day" than what we share here, and we highly recommend it for those of you called to be watchmen.
You can find and purchase their resource here on prayershop.org
This podcast will be set up so that you can prayer walk with it, using the prompts for more extended and "onsite with insight" prayers. As always, let us know you are praying and the name of your town so we can join you and pray in agreement. At the end of each episode there will be Prayer Points for you to listen and pray through. Be free to pause the podcast at anytime to pray out what Holy Spirit is prompting.
Many Samaritans from that town believed in Him because of the woman's testimony. "He told me all that I ever did." So, when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed there two days. And many more believed because of His word. They said to the woman, "It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Savior of the world. " (John 4:39-42)
Prayer Points:
Repent for any and every way you have overlooked, judged, or ignored the lost in your community.
Ask Jesus to give you His perspective and His heart for what He wants to do though these dear ones.
Pray for groups in your city whom you have considered to be unlikely evangelists (the homeless, those of different religions, the very rich or the very poor). Ask Holy Spirit to draw them to Himself.
Pray for specific individuals in your sphere of influence who need to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus. Ask Holy Spirit to guide you as you pray for them.
Pray for ministries who are reaching out to specific groups (college ministers, ministries to immigrants, outreaches to the poor).
God sometimes uses very weak and unlikely instruments for beginning and carrying on a good work. Our Savior, by teaching one poor woman, spread knowledge to a whole town. - Matthew Henry
