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.
By this all people will know that you are y disciples, if you have love for one another. (John 13:35)
Prayer Points
Ask Jesus to bring to mind the ways you have lived selfishly and without love. Take a moment to repent for as many as come to mind.
Ask Holy Spirit to fill you with His love and to empower you to see your brothers and sisters in Christ through His eyes of compassion.
Let the Heavenly Father show you whom you need to forgive for any way they have failed to love you. Surrender your hurt to Jesus and forgive them now.
Prayerfully, make a list of anyone Jesus leads you to show tangible love to today. We are told to do good to everyone, especially to those in the household of faith (Galatians 6:10) Ask Holy Spirit to give you creative ideas and empowerment to put this love into action.
Do not waste time bothering whether you "love" your neighbor; act as if you did. As soon as we do this we find one of the great secrets. Whey you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love him. - C.S. Lewis
