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.
I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as You, Father, are in me, an I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as You loved me. (John 17:20-23)
Prayer Points:
Pray for a work of oneness in your community that is rooted in the Father and Son's complete unity.
Cry out for healing of old and new divisions between Christians and congregations in your area.
Ask God to raise up pastors, prayer warriors, and Christians of all types to forge a practical and visibly unity between congregations in your town or city.
Intercede for the body of Christ to bring God great glory through forgiveness working together, and honoring one another above ourselves.
Plead with God for the demonic oppression ruling your area to be driven out as the people fo God experience the blood-bought oneness that Jesus purchased through His death, burial, resurrection, and outpouring of the Spirit.
Believers are never told to become one; we already are one and are expected to act like it. Joni Eareckson Tada
