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 therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit - Just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call - one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. (Ephesians 4:1-6)
Prayer Points:
Seek God for a fresh work of love, humility, and gentleness to invade and consume His people.
Repent for the ways you have not walked in a manner worthy of your calling, especially in the areas of love and unity.
Pray that pastors, leaders, and Christians will know and understand there is only one body, buy many congregations. Ask that a visible unity of the one church would be displayed in your community.
Ask Holy Spirit to fill your congregation, and the area congregation, in a visibly and unifying way.
Contend for a brighter display of our seven-fold city of one Body, one Lord, one Hope, on Baptism, one Spirit, one Faith, and one God and Father over all.
Many Scripture passages could be called to witness that love is the real key to Christian unity. In the spirit of true humility compassion, consideration, and unselfishness, we are to approach our problems, our work, and even our differences.
- Billy Graham
