LET LIGHT SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS, from 2 Corinthians 4

LET LIGHT SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS


SET GOD’S TRUTH PLAINLY

Therefore, LORD, through Your mercy we have this ministry You gave the Apostle Paul, and

we don’t lose heart.

LORD, give today’s church holy boldness to

renounce secret and shameful ways
not use deception
nor distort Your Word.

Send these laborers to our lost loved ones. We pray they and we all


set the truth plainly,

commending ourselves to everyone’s conscience

in Your sight.


By setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God.

THE GOSPEL DISPLAYS THE GLORY OF CHRIST

Father God, we pray you will unveil the gospel to our lost loved ones that they not perish.

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.

But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his cunning, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. - 2 Corinthians 11:3

Father God, light the gospel before our lost loved ones! Turn on the lights LORD, we pray!

In servitude for Jesus’ sake, help all ministers not to preach themselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord .

For You God who said,

“LET LIGHT SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS,”

made Your light shine in our hearts


 to give us

the light of the knowledge of Your glory


 displayed in the face of Christ.

Father God, in the name of the Lord Jesus, LET LIGHT SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS IN OUR LOST LOVED ONES. Father, make your light shine in their hearts to give them the light of the knowledge of Your glory displayed in the face of Christ.

We have this treasure in jars of clay to show that

this all surpassing power is from You, LORD, and not from us.

Your all surpassing power will save our lost ones! Thank You, LORD.

B U T N O T
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed

perplexed, but not in despair,

persecuted, but not abandoned,

struck down, but not destroyed

Thank You for the benefits of living in the Lord Jesus! You said, many are the afflictions of the righteous, but that You will deliver us from them all. We stand praying in the gap for our lost loved ones to whom You also sent Your beloved Son to save. We pray You extend Your grace to them also, that they not be crushed, nor be in despair, nor be abandoned, nor destroyed. We are thanking You for Your deliverance each time LORD!

THE LIFE OF JESUS REVEALED IN OUR BODY
We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus,

so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake,

so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body.

So then, death is at work in us,

but life is at work in you
.


LORD, we remember Your words, it is more blessed to give than to receive, because when we give, we receive from You. You also said, the best of friends give their life for friends. We suffer for Jesus’ sake so that those that we are ministering to will have life at work in them, Your church is at work, it is Your labor of love to save the lost. Your Spirit in us is Life. Life is at work in our lost loved ones because of the grace You freely give to us all. We pray our lost loved ones will contemplate Your glory in the glorious face of Your Son, the Lord Jesus, that they be transformed in Your image. Thank You, LORD, in Jesus name.
IT IS WRITTEN
“I believed; therefore I have spoken.”
LORD, we pray Your Spirit will prompt us to speak words of life with faith over our lost loved ones. With You all things are possible. We have prayed to You God of our salvation, and we believe our lost loved ones will come back to their own border from wherever they’ve been driven; those that have erred in spirit will come to understanding, they will all be taught of You LORD, and great shall be their peace. They will not die, but live to tell of the glories of the Lord. We thank You for You are good and Your mercy and love endures forever. Your compassions are new every morning and great is Your faithfulness. Man has his plans, but Yours will prevail, and they are plans of peace to bless. This is the day You have made, and we will rejoice and be glad in it. Thank You Father in Jesus name.

Father God, thank You for this same spirit of faith; we also believe and therefore speak, because we know that the One who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with our lost loved ones that You will definitely save to Yourself. All this is for everyone’s benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may also reach our lost loved ones and may cause thanksgiving to overflow of Your glory, LORD God!

THEREFORE, WE DO NOT LOSE HEART
Therefore we do not lose heart,

though outwardly we are wasting away,

yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
For our light and momentary troubles

are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
So we fix our eyes

not on what is seen,

but on what is unseen,

since what is seen is temporary,

but what is unseen is eternal.

Praise God! In Jesus name, amen.

From 2 Corinthians 4
