SAVED BY GRACE FROM GALATIANS 3

Galatians 3

BELIEVE VS THE WORKS OF THE LAW

LORD, deliver our churches and our loved lost ones from false teachings that bewitch those that are learning. For the MEANING of Jesus Christ's death was made as clear to us as if we had seen a picture of his death on the cross.

WE BELIEVERS RECEIVED THE SPIRIT BY FAITH IN HEARING OF YOUR WORD AND NOT BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW.

+Deliver us and our lost loved ones from foolish teachings, LORD. As we began by means of the Spirit, deliver us from being led astray and not now try to finish by means of the flesh.

May our experience not be in vain. You give us Your Spirit and work miracles among us by our believing what we've heard, and not by the works of law.

So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”

SO THANKFUL LORD, that You've blessed us as the children of Abraham.
You justified us Gentiles by faith,


and announced the GOSPEL in advance to Abraham,

“All nations will be blessed through you.”


We rely on faith and are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

+Father, we desire for our lost loved ones to believe in the One You sent, the Lord Jesus Christ, that they be justified by faith and be blessed as the children of Abraham.

Deliver us and our lost loved ones from wrong doctrine and beliefs and not rely on the works of law and be under a curse.

“Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”

You clearly said no one who relies on the law is justified before You God, because

“the righteous will live by faith.”

+Lord, may our lost loved ones not rely on the law to be justified before You.
We pray they will live by faith because you will declare them righteous in Christ Jesus.

The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says,

“The person who does these things will live by them.” (None have been able to do it from the beginning of human history to now and forever.)

THANK YOU LORD THAT CHRIST REDEEMED US FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW BY BECOMING A CURSE FOR US.

It is written:

“Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.”

He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Jesus Christ, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.

+Father, we want our lost loved ones to have the blessing given to Abraham through Jesus Christ, so that by faith they might receive the promise of the Spirit.


CHRISTIANS ARE ABRAHAM'S SEED

LORD, You use practical language in Your Word and use practical life to illustrate so that we can understand.
Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has duly been established, in the covenant You made with Abraham, You gave him the promises to him and his seed, singular, meaning one person, who is Christ.

The law was introduced 430 years later and did not set aside the covenant previously established by You and does not do away with the promise. Therefore, the inheritance does not depend on the law, otherwise it no longer depends on the promise. But You LORD gave it to Abraham through a promise.

The law was given because of the transgressions UNTIL THE SEED TO WHOM THE PROMISE REFERRED HAD COME.
The law was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator, implying more than one party, BUT GOD IS ONE.

Absolutely, the law is not opposed to Your promises. If the law could impart life, then righteousness would come by the law (we all broke it.) But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin, and we've all sinned and come short of Your glory. SO WHAT WAS PROMISED, BEING GIVEN THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST, MIGHT BE GIVEN TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE.

+THANK YOU FATHER, that You make it clear in Your Word that the promises You made to Abraham was for him and his seed, one person, who is Christ. You further state that what was promised is given through faith in Jesus Christ to those who believe. Amazing grace! LORD, we pray our lost loved ones will have faith in Jesus Christ, that they will inherit what You promised.
CHRISTIANS ARE THE HEIRS

+LORD, You give us the grand finale on this subject in the last verse of Galatians Chapter 3:
"IF YOU BELONG TO CHRIST, THEN YOU ARE ABRAHAM'S SEED, AND HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE."
+Father, we pray our lost loved ones will belong to Christ, that they be Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. We also take hold of Your
Word for us in Acts 2:38-29:

Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.
And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off--for all whom the Lord our God will call. - Acts 2:38-39

CHILDREN OF GOD

LORD, You reiterate over and over again so that we get it. Before the coming of this faith, we were held custody under the law (we were locked!), UNTIL THE FAITH THAT WAS TO COME WOULD BE REVEALED. The law was our guardian UNTIL CHRIST CAME THAT WE MIGHT BE JUSTIFIED BY FAITH. But now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.

To resume, God, You said we are Your children through faith and all of us that were baptized into Christ have clothed ourselves with Christ.

+Oh Yes LORD, cloth our lost loved ones with Christ.

CHRISTIANS ARE ONE

There is neither Jew nor Gentile,
There is neither slave nor free
there is neither male and female

We are all one in Christ Jesus.

+Father God, we pray our lost loved ones will also be one with You and us in Christ Jesus.

In Jesus Name. AMEN

A PRAYER PETITION FOR SALVATION

FATHER GOD, THIS PRAYER IS FOR H. AND HIS LONG-TIME FIANCE THAT HAVE APPARENTLY BEEN LIVING AS MAN AND WIFE AND HAVE A CHILD BY THIS RELATIONSHIP. FATHER, IT WOULD BE IN VAIN TO PRAY IGNORING THAT YOU WANT TO BLESS A MARRIAGE COVENANT BETWEEN A MAN AND WOMAN AND YOU CALL FORNICATION A SIN THAT NEEDS TO BE REPENTED OF.

LORD, IN THE BIBLE, SOMETIMES YOUR PEOPLE IN THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS WERE STOPPED BY YOU FROM MOVING ON WITH THEIR OWN PLANS.  THEY TRIED, BUT YOU HAD OTHER PLANS--THE RIGHT ONES FOR THEM-- AND STOPPED THEM.

YOU LOVE H AND HIS FIANCE AND THEIR CHILD. YOU CAN NOT DENY YOURSELF AND YOUR WORD. WE MUST BE CONFORMED TO YOUR IMAGE AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. YOU ARE A RIGHTEOUS, HOLY GOD AND WHEN WE GOT SAVED, YOU CLOTHED US WITH A ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS BECAUSE WE BELIEVED AND RECEIVED WHAT YOUR SON DID FOR US ON THE CROSS OF CALVARY WHEN HE SAVED US FROM OUR SINS. YOU DID NOT LEAVE US THE SAME WAY YOU FOUND US. YOU MADE US NEW CREATURES IN CHRIST. OLD THINGS PASSED AWAY, AND ALL THINGS BECOME NEW AND ARE OF YOU.

H'S FIANCE IS FLIRTING WITH ANOTHER MAN WHICH INDICATES SHE IS NOT SERIOUS ABOUT A COMMITMENT AND MAY NOT HAVE ANY CONVICTIONS ABOUT WHAT IS RIGHT OR WRONG.  H IS RIGHT IN PRAYING TO YOU FOR HER SALVATION AND HER HEART NEEDING CHANGE. ONLY THEN CAN THERE BE THE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. YOU WANT HER HEART FROM WHENCE COME ALL THE ISSUES OF LIFE.  WHEN SHE SEEKS YOUR KINGDOM AND YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, THEN SHE WILL DISCONNECT HERSELF FROM ALL MEN. THE ISSUE IS IN THE HEART, FOR HER TO MAKE PEACE WITH YOU THROUGH YOUR SON JESUS.

FATHER, YOU SAID YOUR SPIRIT WOULD CONVINCE THE WORLD OF SIN, OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND OF JUDGMENT. MAY YOUR LOVE COMPEL HER TO DRAW CLOSE TO YOU. YOUR CHURCH HAS BEEN GIVEN THE ASSIGNMENT OF RECONCILIATION, NOT OF JUDGMENT, TO TELL THE GOOD NEWS THAT JESUS SAVES, AND THAT HE CAME TO SAVE THE LOST, NOT TO CONDEMN. SEND TO THIS WOMAN WHOM YOU WILL TO MINISTER TO HER, AND MAY SHE NOT HARDEN HER HEART BUT GLADLY RECEIVE THE BEST NEWS IN THE WORLD.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. - John 3:16

THOUGH RIGHT NOW THERE ARE THESE WARNING RED FLAGS OF UNFAITHFULNESS, H LOVES HER AND HE HAS FAITH THAT YOU CAN SAVE HER AND IS INTERCEDING FOR HER IN PRAYER. H. NEEDS TO PUT YOU FIRST IN HIS LIFE AND FOR YOU TO BE FIRST LOVE. YOU WILL NEVER DISAPPOINT HIM NEITHER FORSAKE HIM.  YOU WILL FILL HIS LONGING SOUL. HE WANTS HIS FIANCE TO HAVE THIS BLESSING OF KNOWING YOU AS HER PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOR.

FATHER OF MERCY AND GRACE. MAY THIS WOMAN HAVE AN ENCOUNTER WITH YOU, AND YOU WILL GIVE HER LIVING WATER AND SHE WILL NEVER THIRST AGAIN. MAY H. SUBMIT TO YOUR WILL. HE IS ASKING YOUR BLESSING ON THIS UNION WITH HIS FIANCE WHOM HE LOVES AND YOU LOVE. YOUR LOVE EVER PREVAILS. PRAYER HOUSE IS PRAYING FOR 1 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 13 LOVE TO BE IN THE HEART H'S FIANCE. YOUR WILL BE DONE FOR H. AND HIS FIANCE ACCORDING TO YOUR LOVING KINDNESS AND TENDER MERCIES.

THANK YOU LORD, PRAYING IN JESUS NAME. AMEN.

IT'S THE GOSPEL, CHRISTIAN! (From Galatians Chapter 2)

ACCEPTANCE
Father God, we are so relieved and happy to have been reconciled to You because of our Savior, Jesus. What love You showed us to be called Your children. We are so blessed to be Your family, to no longer be rejected but accepted by You in the beloved. Now LORD, we pray we also find grace and favor among the brethren in the church. In the church there are still issues because of yielding to the flesh and not following after the spirit. This is not good when it comes to winning our lost loved ones and they witness poor testimonies. But with You LORD, who came to save and seek the lost, nothing will stand in the way and the gates of hell will not prevail against Your church.

IT'S THE GOSPEL, CHRISTIAN
+Help us receive revelation from You, Father God, and to respond to You when it comes to our affairs in the church and with the church leadership. It's about the saving Gospel, LORD, we want to be sure we are not wasting our energy and lives and that we are not running and have not been running our race in vain.
May we Your body always present this Gospel in the church and preach it to the world. Send Your saving gospel to our lost loved ones.

Father, send us Christian companions, fellow-pilgrims like Barnabas and Titus that You sent to the Apostle Paul. After 14 years he met personally with the esteemed leaders of his day. The issue:  The law verses the freedom You've given us in Christ. In those days there was the issue of circumcision.

+Deliver Your church and our lost loved ones from confusion and wrong teachings and false believers that have infiltrated into the church ranks. Let us the church know that we know, and may our lost loved ones know that You give to all believers grace and freedom in Christ Jesus, no longer to be slaves to live under the law, whether Jew or Gentile. These false brethren want to make Your people slaves again. But may we not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved and be preached to the world and to our lost loved ones. Let them hear this pure Gospel, repent, and be saved.

GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS
Father, You let us know through the inspiration of Your Spirit in the writings of the apostle Paul that before You those that are held in high esteem in our churches should make no difference t us. You do not show favoritism and they should add nothing to the MESSAGE You've ALREADY written in the Bible. May these brethren, those esteemed as pillars," and all members of the churches recognize the grace given Your laborers, the entrusted task of the preaching the gospel both the the Jews and the Gentiles, for there is one gospel. In Paul's day, Paul was entrusted to preach to the Gentiles and Peter to the Jews.

+May it be You, LORD GOD, who is at work in Your laborers to preach Your saving gospel, for it should be You that gives us all the grace to do Your work.
You are the Director to send forth Your laborers to the world and to our lost loved ones that they might be saved.

REMEMBER THE POOR
LORD, may Your church continue to remember the poor, the very thing Your people should be eager to do all along.

BE NOT AFRAID TO STAND FOR THE TRUTH
Father God, even in the apostles early church after Jesus had risen from the dead, the "spiritual giants" made mistakes and got tempted to pull back to their old ways and the law. They also influenced other strong brethren in the faith.

LORD, we don't want to be ashamed to be seen and fellowship with new converts, and especially with those that are walking in Your truth and light. We do not want to be hypocritical and two-faced to behave a certain way with one group of Christians and another way with another group. We also want to be able to confront people in the church that are doing this, as the apostle Paul did when he opposed Cephas.

+LORD, help us and lost loved ones to act in line with the truth of the gospel. May we walk by faith and not have religious customs that are thought to be necessary to be saved.  We know a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.

+LORD, we know grace is not a license to sin, but freedom from sin. We died to the law so that we might live for You and have been crucified with Christ, and we no longer live, but Christ lives in us. The life we now live in the body, we live by the faith in the Son of God, who loved us and gave himself for us. May we not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing.

+By Your grace, LORD, save our lost loved ones.

SEPARATED TO RESCUE THE PERISHING, (from Galatians Chapter 1)

JESUS IS THE CHAIN BREAKER!


SEPARATED TO RESCUE THE PERISHING, (from Galatians Chapter 1)


RESCUE THE PERISHING
Father God, You've  made us Your body, THE church, ministers not from men nor by man, but by JESUS CHRIST AND GOD THE FATHER, Who raised Him from the dead.

+Send Your ministers to our lost loved ones.

+Give unto us Your grace and peace. We are open to receive from You our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present age.

+SAVE OUR LOST LOVED ONES FROM THEIR SINS AND FROM THE PRESENT EVIL AGE,  ACCORDING TO YOUR WILL GOD AND FATHER.  TO YOU BE GLORY FOR EVER AND EVER. AMEN.

NO OTHER GOSPEL
For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. - Matthew 24:24

But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves. - 2 Peter 2:1

LORD, deliver us from the subtle devil. Deliver us from deception. Deliver our lost ones from these false messiahs, false prophets, and false teachers.
Sincerely, we do not want to desert You.

+You called us to live in the grace of Christ. This is our prayer. May Your Spirit teach us what this means.

We do not want to turn to a different gospel, which does not proclaim good news at all.

+Deliver us and our lost loved ones from confusion and those that are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. Deliver us and our lost loved ones from those that are cursed preaching a false gospel.
May Your people and our lost loved ones know that the Gospel of the Bible is not of human origin but it's from You. May our lost loved ones receive revelation from Jesus Christ as Peter received revelation from You when he told Jesus He was the Christ, the Son of the living God.

PLEASE GOD NOT MAN
Father God, You work in your people both to will and do of your good pleasure.

+Deliver us from the temptation of trying to win the approval of people. Deliver us from the weakness of the flesh. Our desire is to please You; our desire is to be a servant of Christ. As Your laborers deliver us from fear of man when we are witnessing to others and to our lost loved ones. May we boldly say, You are our light and salvation, of whom shall I be afraid?

SET ASIDE

The ones that preach Your saving Gospel may be persecuted by the enemy, but nothing and no one can destroy it.

When You set Paul the apostle apart from his mother's womb, He did not consult with any earthly person, not even with the other apostles before him, but He followed Your leading and it took time, 3 yrs.
Then he got acquainted with Peter and saw James. He was an unknown in the Christian churches. Then afterwards the only report he heard was,

“The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”

And the churches praised You because of his conversion.

LORD, may the newly converted Christians be patient and be sensitive to the leading of Your Spirit.
May Your church support them, encourage them, and may these new converts be disciples and  be edified in the most holy faith.

+May our lost loved ones hear the preaching of the faith and  be converted.

Father God no matter what anyone's way of life has been, from roaming in the streets or  being in bondage to religion, no matter how advanced and extremely zealous in tradition, You, oh God, are the only one that can set us apart from our mother's womb.

+By Your grace call our lost loved ones out of the world to come follow You.
+Send Your church to preach Jesus to them.
+Reveal Your Son to them.

Then the new report we will hear about them is that the one that roamed the streets,
or the religious traditionalist who formerly persecuted Your church is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.
By their testimonies, Your people will praise You!

In that day the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and out of gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see. - Isaiah 29:18

This poor man called, and the LORD heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles. - Psalm 34:6

LOVE THAT WINS, 2, FROM 2 CORINTHIANS 13

Gift items:
http://www.zazzle.com/hoaryhead*/gifts

OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, YOU TELL US IN 1 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 13 THAT

THESE ARE ONLY IN PART
We prophesy in part
We know in part  
We see only a reflection as in a mirror

WHEN COMPLETENESS COMES:
what is in part disappears
then we shall see face to face.
then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

THESE WILL NOT LAST FOREVER:
Prophesies will cease
Tongues will be stilled
Knowledge will pass away

WHEN I WAS A CHILD:
I talked like a child
I thought as a child
I reasoned like a child

BUT WHEN I BECAME AN ADULT
I became a man, I became a woman
I put the ways of childhood behind me


GOD ALMIGHTY, YOU ARE LOVE!

I do not want to fall under any of these "ifs" category ...

If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge
If I have a faith that can move mountains
If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast

followed by these buts

but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
but do not have love, I am nothing.
but do not have love, I gain nothing.

THANK YOU LORD GOD FOR YOUR LOVE IN US BY YOUR SON CHRIST JESUS

LOVE BY YOUR DEFINITION:

LOVE DOES NOT:
love does not envy
love does not boast
love does not dishonor others
love does not keep no record of wrongs

LOVE IS NOT:
love is not self-seeking
love is not easily angered
love does not delight in evil

LOVE IS:
Love is patient
love is kind

LOVE DOES:
love does rejoice with the truth

LOVE ALWAYS:
love always protects
love always trusts
love always hopes
love always perseveres

LOVE NEVER:
Love never fails!

LORD, this is Your love that now abideth with faith and hope, but the greatest of these is love!

FATHER GOD YOU ARE LOVE. THANK YOU THAT YOU LIVE IN ME AND YOUR LOVE IS IN ME WITH ALL YOUR VIRTUES BY YOUR SON CHRIST JESUS.

SEND YOUR LABORERS WITH YOUR LOVE TO MINISTER TO OUR LOST LOVED ONES, IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.

GOD SAID HE WILL SAVE OUR CHILDREN

TO GLORY OR NOT TO GLORY FROM 2 CORINTHIANS 12

2 Corinthians 12

TO GLORY OR NOT TO GLORY

PRIDE

Thank You LORD for the visions and revelations that come from You. LORD, doubtless we have nothing to glory of in the flesh. Jesus is our hope of glory.

If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 4:11

He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. - John 7:18

I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. - Isaiah 42:8

But he that glories, let him glory in the Lord. 2 Corinthians 10:17

But let him that glories glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD who exercises lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, says the LORD. - Jeremiah 9:24

You let us know that pride is in the top sin list and it was satan's demise. You said you shall raise us up when we are humble. May we never be taken by pride and the messenger of satan take advantage of it. When he comes to buffet us with the thorn of the flesh, may the weak boldly say, I AM STRONG.  For You are our strength. Your grace is sufficient for us: for our strength is made perfect in weakness. We worship You when we are in the mountain top, and also glory in our infirmities that the power of Christ may rest upon us.

GLORY IN INFIRMITIES
You encourage us to glory in our infirmities because when we are weak we find that You are our strength. Therefore, may we remember to glory in:

+infirmities
+reproaches
+necessities
+persecutions
+distresses for Christ's sake

for when we are weak, then are we strong.

It should not matter if we are criticized for it rather than commended for it.

But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. - 1 Peter 4:13

SIGNS OF AN APOSTLE
LORD, Apostle Paul in all patience worked among Your assembly:

+signs,
+wonders,
+and mighty deeds

He put others' needs before his own, seeking others' welfare as a godly parent does with his children and wanting not to be burdensome.

Apostle Paul gave himself to Christ's church with such love, though it does not seem like the church responded to him with the same love. He said at one time to follow him as he followed Christ. The life of Christ in him was lived out in this world.

LORD, this is what Your every saint should desire and we know You commissioned us with this ministry with power and all spiritual gifts according to the will of Your Spirit.

SIN IN THE CAMP
Unlike Apostle Paul nor Titus and whom he also sent to the Corinthians, who did not exploit nor take advantage of the assembly. They walked humbly in Your Spirit to strengthen and edify the assembly, speaking dearly in love to them before You God in Christ.

LORD, this is the leadership we pray for, and for every one that calls themselves a Christian.

Apostle Paul caught among the Corinthians treacherous cunning deceit and he meant to address wrong behavior which he suspected and lamented:

-quarreling,
-jealousy,
-anger,
-selfishness,
-slander,
-gossip,
-arrogance,
-and disorderly behavior.

Unrepentant
-uncleanness
-fornication
-lust

LORD we also lament that this kind of behavior is in our local churches. May we submit to those under-shepherds you sent to us to feed and disciple, to strengthen, and to edify your people. May we step up to the plate and move from spiritual milk into meat to also teach and as members of Your body be used as Your Spirit directs.

LORD, the lost need to see You in us, and we pray our lost loved ones will see Jesus lifted up in the assembly. Lead them, LORD, to a church where they will hear Your saving Gospel, be discipled and used for Your glory. In Christ Jesus name we pray.

SUFFERINGS FOR CHRIST'S SAKE, from 2 Corinthians 11

2 Corinthians 11


SUFFERINGS FOR CHRIST'S SAKE



FOOLISHNESS TO THE NATURAL MAN

Our Father, Your witnesses trust in Your wisdom and are not dismayed to appear foolish to those that do not think with the mind of Christ.



"For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom,

and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength. ... " 1 Cor 1:25



GOD'S WISDOM AND STRENGTH

Your servants seek and choose Your wisdom and Your strength.



JEALOUS

LORD Your name is Jealous, You are a jealous God.

Your servants have Your Spirit

and are jealous with a godly jealousy for Your disciples.

Your church has been promised to one husband, to Christ.

You are looking for a church that is a pure virgin to Him.



THE SERPENT'S LIES

Our Father, deliver Your disciples and those Your church witness to from the deception of the cunning serpent.

We pray these minds be not lead astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

Deliver Your disciples and our lost loved ones from another Jesus that is an imposter,

and from receiving a different spirit from the Holy Spirit that You sent,

and from believing a different gospel from Your one true gospel.

May this not be put up with, LORD!



FREELY RECEIVE, FREELY GIVE

Your servants make this perfectly clear in every way:

Your servants humble themselves to preach the gospel, in some instances, free of charge. LORD, is it a sin, "to take from Peter to give to Paul?"

Your servants love You and love the brethren, and would not be a burden to any financially, but You will supply through those that cheerfully give for the sake of preaching the gospel.

FATHER, You "separate the men from the boys" in the principle of preaching the gospel at all costs, because as Paul the Apostle said,

"For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!" 1 Corinthians 9:16



FALSE PREACHERS

Deliver Your disciples and our lost love ones from celebrity and mega church false preachers.

Those You send as Your ambassadors may be untrained as speakers, but have knowledge with the power of the Holy Ghost to preach.

Father, deliver our lost loved ones from the hirelings. May hirelings not be a stumbling block to them.



The hired hand runs away because he's working only for the money and doesn't really care about the sheep. - John 10:13

Your word says in 2 Corinthians 11:13

"For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve."



"FOOLISHNESS" FOR CHRIST

Lord, Your servants are not fools, but there may be those that think so, and that brings Your blessings:



What blessings await you when people hate you and exclude you and mock you and curse you as evil because you follow the Son of Man. - Luke 6:22



Your servants do not boast as the world does, but LORD Your said:



"Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares the LORD. -Jeremiah 9:23-24

Father, You do not desire the world nor for false brethren to enslave, or exploit, or takes advantage, or brag against and slap Your servants. A brother in the faith would not do such a thing.

To this regard, the Apostle Paul remarked, "To my shame I admit that we were too weak for that!"



BOASTING OF SUFFERINGS

Lord, true servants may be tempted to boast of suffering for delivering Your gospel when they hear the boasting of those that say they have suffered not only for preaching but also for resisting the temptation to sin.



In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. - Hebrews 12:4



THE APOSTLE PAUL, A HEBREW, CHOSEN TO SUFFER

Lord, You chose Paul the Apostle, a Hebrew, an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, to be a servant of Christ, though others of his time talked as they were, but this Hebrew You chose to suffer for You., as an example that we could do all things because You are the strength of Your servants.



And I will show him how much he must suffer for my name's sake. - Acts 9:16



He said of his experience:

WORK

+I have worked much harder

+I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep

PRISON

+been in prison more frequently

BEATEN, EXPOSED TO DEATH

+been flogged more severely

+been exposed to death again and again

+Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.

+Three times I was beaten with rods.

+ Once I was pelted with stones.

IN THE SEA AND RIVERS

+Three times I was shipwrecked.

+I spent a night and a day in the open sea.

+I have been constantly on the move.

+I have been in danger from rivers.

DANGER OF BANDITS, FELLOW JEWS, GENTILES

LORD, we think we have suffered, but this Your servant Paul, a living testimony that still speaks, of suffering said,

"Who is weak, and I do not feel weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not inwardly burn"



And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die. - Revelation 12:11



PLEASURE IN OUR WEAKNESSES

Therefore, LORD, we ought to take pleasure in our weaknessess to be strong in You.



That's why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong. - 2 Corinthians 12:10



If there is any boasting, it is of the things that show our weakness. The Apostle Paul wrote inspired by Your Spirit, God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is praised forever, and the Apostle Paul lied not as You are the Witness of the words he wrote, and as You are the Witness of Your word to us today.



For examples of patience in suffering, dear brothers and sisters, look at the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. - James 5:10



For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps. - 1 Peter 2:21



Our Father, there can be no suffering as that of eternal perdition, which is why You sent us Your Son. We must let the world and our loved ones know that there is no need for their soul to be lost forever when Your Son did everything and finished it all for them to be saved upon believing in Him as You have said in the gospel.

MINISTERING WITH TRUTH AND AUTHORITY, From 2 Corinthians 10

Corinthans 10:

7 You are judging by appearances.[a] If anyone is confident that they belong to Christ, they should consider again that we belong to Christ just as much as they do. 8 So even if I boast somewhat freely about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than tearing you down, I will not be ashamed of it. 9 I do not want to seem to be trying to frighten you with my letters. 10 For some say, “His letters are weighty and forceful, but in person he is unimpressive and his speaking amounts to nothing.” 11 Such people should realize that what we are in our letters when we are absent, we will be in our actions when we are present.

MINISTERING WITH TRUTH AND AUTHORITY, From 2 Corinthians 10




GENTLE AND HUMBLE IN HEART

LORD OF THE HARVEST, by Your grace Your servants are to be humble and gentle as our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who said:



Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. - Matthew 11:29



Even, so Your servants must not strive, but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.

Your servants are sometimes wrongfully accused by the church that they are living by the world's standards.

It is tempting to use harshness in defence.



WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.

The weapons we fight with are not weapons of the world.

On the contrary, these weapons have DIVINE POWER to demolish strongholds.

You have enabled Your servants to demolish arguments

and every pretension that sets itself up against Your word of knowledge.

You want for us to take captive every thiought and to make it obedient to Christ.



SEVER FALSE TEACHERS/TEACHINGS

Father God, Peter the apostle warns:

But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you.

They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves. -2 Peter 2:1

Therefore, the Apostle Paul exhorted by Your Spirit that the faithful are to be obedient,

and that there will be a readiness to punish every act of disobedience by the incorrigible.



THE AUTHORITY OF GOD'S MINISTERS

Our Father, the Berean Jews were of noble character for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

Thus we ought not to be confident to judge a person if they belong to Christ by their appearance.

May people and our lost loved ones, and the church not look at the ministers You appoint as unimpressive and their speaking as amounting to nothing,

May people not be frightened by those that write/speak Your Word in truth.

May You reveal to those that think the words that seem weighty and forceful come from You and not man.

The Lord Jesus taught with real authority--quite unlike the teachers of religious law.

You have given us Your children the authority for evil spirits to submit to us, but we rejoice that our names are written in heaven.

You also have appointed ministers with authority for building up, rather than tearing down, and there is no shame that comes with it.

We depend on Your Spirit of grace to not be only speakers/hearers of the word, but doers also.

We proclaim Your saving Gospel to the people and to our lost loved ones and pray

they will know You,

and glorify You as God

and give You thanks.

Deliver them from wrong thinking and bring light to their hearts.



PRIDE

Father, deliver our ministers from foolish pride, that they not get puffed up in importance, comparing themselves with other ministers,

using themselves as the standard of measurement.

Also, that they take not credit for the work others have done.

This is ignorance.



But,

“Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”

For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom You the Lord commends.



Thus, may Your servants instead boast of You, of what You've done in their lives and in their ministry.

You use Your servants as Your chosen instruments in service that You have personally assigned to build up Your church and win the lost.



OUR HOPE

Father, our hope is that our faith continues to grow, and our sphere of activity in the church will greatly expand.

We pray the preaching of the gospel will reach beyond the regions already reached. Also, reach our lost loved ones, LORD!

PRAYING FOR LOST LOVED ONES


From 2 Corinthians 9



SERVICE TO THE LORD'S PEOPLE



Thank You LORD for the

readiness and

eagerness of Your people to help in

generous giving as promised, and not grudgingly given.



This boasting should not prove hollow and there should be no shame for this confidence.



The enthusiasm of the givers

has stirred many of Your people to action.



You want Your Word to be remembered:



Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly,

and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.



By Your grace You give a heart that wants to give,

not reluctantly

or under compulsion,



You love a cheerful giver.



AND YOU ARE ABLE TO BLESS YOUR CHILDREN ABUNDANTLY,

so that in ALL THINGS

at ALL TIMES,

having ALL THAT YOUR CHILDREN NEED,

Your children will ABOUND IN EVERY GOOD WORK.



As it is written:



“They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor;

their righteousness endures forever.”



Father God, You are the one that supplies seed to the sower

and bread for food.

You will also supply,

and You will also increase the sower's store of seed

and enlarge the harvest of the sower's righteousness.



You will enrich the sower in EVERY way

so that the sower can be generous on EVERY occasion,

and through the ministers You appoint, the sowers' generosity will result in giving You thanks.

Not only is this service performed supplying the needs of Your people,

but also there is an overflowing in many expressions of thanks to You, Lord God.

Because of the service by which Your body has proved itself,

others will praise You Lord God for the obedience that accompanies Your servants' confession of the gospel of Christ,

and for the generosity in sharing with Your people and with everyone else.

Your people's hearts and prayers will go with the ministers You have appointed.

Thank You Father because of the SURPASSING GRACE You have given Your people.

THANK YOU LORD FOR YOUR INDESCRIBABLE GIFT!



ALL THIS FATHER GOD, BECAUSE YOU SO LOVED THE WORLD YOU SENT YOUR SON TO SAVE US FROM OUR SINS.

OUR CARES AND PRAYERS FOR OUR LOST LOVED ONES ARE IN YOUR THRONE OF GRACE FOR THEIR EVERY NEED THAT YOU HAVE SUPPLIED BY YOUR SON, THE LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.

THANK YOU, FATHER, AGAIN FOR YOUR

INDESCRIBABLE GIFT OF MERCY AND GRACE!

ALL ABOUT GIVING, ALL ACCORDING TO 2 CORINTHIANS 8

PRAYING FOR LOST LOVED ONES

ALL ABOUT GIVING, ALL ACCORDING TO 2 CORINTHIANS 8

Our Father, thank You for the grace You've given Your church.

IN THE MIDST OF VERY SEVERE TRIALS/EXTREME POVERTY, Your church has overflowing joy to well up in rich generosity.

It is to Your glory to testify that the members of Your body give as much as able, even beyond ability.

Entirely on one's own, members of Your body urgently plead for the privilege of sharing in the service to the Lord's people, exceeding the expectation of Your ministers.

Father God, as members of Your body, we must first give ourselves to You,

and by Your will, also to Your ministers, for this is an act of grace.



BY YOUR GRACE, You have made Your church excel in everything:

in faith,

in speech,

in knowledge,

in complete earnestness,

in love kindled within,

and also excel in this grace of giving.



The ministers You appointed over Your flock do not command,

but each member of Your flock ought to test one's sincerity of love by comparing it with the earnestness of others.

For Your church knows the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,

that though He was rich,

yet our our sake He became poor,

so that we through His poverty might become rich.



Judging what is best for Your church in this matter is that not only do Your children first give, but also have the desire to do so.

Father, it is You that works in Your children both to will and do of Your pleasure.

Your body's eager willingness will be matched by the completion of doing it, according to the means of each member.

There ought to be equality, and not that some be relieved while others are hard pressed,

but that as it is written:



“The one who gathered much did not have TOO MUCH,

and the one who gathered little did not have TOO LITTLE.”



LORD, may Your ministers have concern

with much enthusiasm,

initiative,

and eagerness to help Your people that need help with service to the gospel,
(as did the apostle Paul and Titus.)

May all this be done to honor You.

To avoid any criticism of the way these collections are administered,

take whatever pains are necessary to do it right,

not only in the eyes of You, LORD, but also in the eyes of man.



We pray for ministering partners and co-workers

who have often proved themselves

with a good testimony,

that are zealous,

and can have great confidence in the support of the congregation with proof of Your love,

with a testimony to be proud for the churches to see it.

All Your servants represent the churches and are to bring honor to Christ.

Father God, may Your church not lose sight that each member is now Your ambassador that You sent with the Gospel to save the lost, including our lost loved ones.

You are beseeching the lost to be reconciled to You through Your Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

We want the lost and our loved ones to look up and behold the Lamb of God who takes away their sins.

We depend on Your Spirit to work through us to reveal Your truth to the unsaved, convince them, and save them.

We trust You will do it, for You sent Your Son not to condemn the world, but to save it.

Thank You LORD, for Your great love and mercy for us. In Christ Jesus name, amen.

GODLY SORROW, From 2 Corinthians 7

From 2 Corinthians 7


LOVE OUR PASTORS AND LEADERS

As Your body LORD we must remember our Lord and Savior's words,



“A new command I give you:

Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”



We make room in our hearts for the brethren and submit to those that watch over us that their work be a joy to benefit all.



The body of Christ by Your grace will wrong no one, corrupt no one, and exploit no one.



The ministers You have appointed over Your flock admonish without condemnation but tell the truth in love,

and they would live and die with Your flock.

They have great confidence and take great pride in Your people, following Christ with great encouragement.



IN TROUBLES Your ministers know no bounds, though the body has no rest, harrassed at every turn--conflicts on the outside, fears within.



You comfort the downcast, LORD, and bring encouragers with the same comfort You give to them.



We long for our pastors and leaders.

When they suffer we also have deep sorrow.

May Your flock show ardent concern for them so that their joy be greater than ever.



GODLY SORROW

Preachers and teachers of Your word may cause sorrow, but there is no regret though it hurt, but only for a little while.

Father God, no discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful.

Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

Everyone should be happy, because this sorrow leads to repentance.



Therefore, LORD, may the hearers see that Your ministers mean them no harm,

and our lost loved ones see that it is Your intent that they be sorrowful

because Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret,

but worldly sorrow brings death.



WHAT!

Inwardly, Godly sorrow produces:

What earnestness

What eagerness to clear oneself

What indignation

What alarm

What longing

What concern

What readiness to see justice done



POSITIVE MESSAGE

At every point we must all prove ourselves to be innocent of such matters.

You sent this message not for the person who does wrong nor the injured party,

but rather that BEFORE YOU GOD, we see for ourselves how devoted we are to those You have appointed over Your flock to follow them as they follow Christ.

May they be encouraged and refreshed.

Those that feed Your sheep enjoy boasting over Your flock without being embarrassed because it is a proven truth.

This brotherly and sisterly affection is all the greater at remembering all the obedience in receiving a servant of the LORD with fear and trembling,

and he can have complete confidence in Your flock, for Christ is the head of the church and in Him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.



You did all this, LORD, to save the lost, and save our lost loved ones. Thank You, our Father! in Christ Jesus name.

WE HAVE RECEIVED GRACE AS GOD'S CO-WORKERS

Father God You are so gracious to call us Your CO-workers! May we not waste nor misuse Your grace for this marvelous calling.

For You said,

“In the time of my favor I heard you,

and in the day of salvation I helped you.”

And we've been told, NOW is the time of Your favor, NOW is the day of salvation.

Our Father, may our lost loved ones grasp and embrace this opportunity--don't pass them by dear LORD!

Help us to do our part in winning them to You as Your ambassadors, we pray.



HARDSHIPS

The work as Your ambassadors gets hard, and we realize we depend in the wisdom and empowerment of Your Spirit, not putting any stumbling block in anyone's path, so that our ministry will not be discredited.

Rather, as Your servants we apply ourselves in every way in great endurance, in troubles, hardships and distresses.

In Your body there have been beatings, imprisonments and riots. Your servants have worked hard, had sleepless nights and hungered.

SOULS ARE SO PRECIOUS TO YOU AND THE PERISHING MUST BE RESCUED!

Help us to represent You in purity, understanding, patience and kindness,

in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love, in truthful speech and in Your power,

with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left.

through glory and dishoner, bad report and good report, genuine, though regarded as imposters,

known, yet regarded as unknown;

dying, and yet we live on; beaten , and yet not killed,

sorrowful, YET ALWAYS REJOICING,

poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, AND YET POSSESSING EVERYTHING.

LORD, give pastors and evangelists the boldness to speak freely to Your people with wide-opened hearts not withholding true affection though it not be returned from the ones receiving this message. May the preachers speak the truth in love as to their children. We pray the hearers open wide their hearts also. Open wide the hearts of our lost loved ones to love You and Your truth and the brethren.



DO NOT BE YOKED TOGETHER WITH UNBELIEVERS

Our Father we want to lead others and our lost loved ones to Christ without compromise, and not have them pull us away from You.

You are asking us to answer You and affirm that:

Righteousness and wickedness have nothing in common.

Light and darkness cannot fellowship.

There is no harmony between Christ and Belial.

A believer and an unbeliever are in contrast.

There is no agreement between us, Your temple, and idols.

As You said:

“I will live with them

and walk among them,

and I will be their God,

and they will be my people.”

Therefore,

“Come out from them

and be separate,

says the Lord.

Touch no unclean thing,

and I will receive you.”

And,

“I will be a Father to you,

and you will be my sons and daughters,

says the Lord Almighty."



IN ALL THIS WE NEED TO TRUST YOU THAT TO WIN OUR LOST LOVED ONES WE MUST SPEAK AND WALK IN YOUR TRUTH AND NOT FEAR, AND APPLY THE WISDOM YOU LIBERALLY GIVE TO US. THANK YOU FOR YOUR GRACE IN THIS GREAT COMMISSION!



IN CHRIST JESUS NAME WE PRAY, AMEN.

GOD PLEDGED A DWELLING FOR US IN HEAVEN

For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

For indeed in this house we groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling from heaven, inasmuch as we, having put it on, will not be found naked.

For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to clothed, so that what is mortal will be swallowed up by life.

Now He who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave to us the Spirit as a pledge.

ALWAYS BE OF GOOD COURAGE
Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord--for we walk by faith, not by sight--we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.
Heavenly Father, in our earthly bodies we groan and are burdened, but we are encouraged, LORD, that we are not stuck in a rut, but live with a purpose--Your purpose-- and look forward to our eternal dwelling in the heavens. Thank You for Your Spirit that You have given to live in us as a pledge of our glorious home in heaven.

May we not only be of good courage, but encourage others as well, especially our lost loved ones, that they too will inherit Your promise of an eternal home in the heavens bought by the blood sacrifice of Your beloved Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank You Father, in Jesus name.
OUR AMBITION
Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
Father, we desire to be pleasing to You. May we be mindful that we will be recompensed for our deeds in the body, according to what each individual has done, whether good or bad. We want to do good, help us to pass the tests,
KNOWING THE FEAR OF THE LORD
Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord we persuade men, but we are made manifest to God and hope that we are made manifest in others’ consciences.

Father, may we, Your church persuade our lost loved ones to choose the fear of the Lord. We hope to be made manifest in their consciences. Holy Spirit of God You are at work to convince them of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. May they choose life, we pray.
WE HAVE THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION

Heavenly Father, we pray Your Spirit will always give your laborers you send to our lost loved ones an answer in our mouth. Convince our lost loved ones that Your words are the truth and those speaking them are of a sound mind.

We pray the that these laborers be controlled by the love of Christ, for we no longer live for ourselves but for Him who died and rose again on our behalf. The Lord Jesus came to seek and save the lost, and that includes our lost loved ones.

We pray our lost loved ones be saved and be a new creature in Christ, the old things passed away and all things become new. These things are from You, Father God, who reconciled us to Yourself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation. Namely, that You were in Christ reconciling the world to Yourself, not counting their trespasses against them and have committed to us the word of reconciliation.

What responsibility LORD! We want to be faithful to this calling for Your purpose is to save the lost, and we are praying for our lost loved ones that in Christ You reconcile them to Yourself, not counting their trespasses against them, and that they too will be committed the word of reconciliation. They will no longer serve the devil, but serve You, praise God!
AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST
We are ambassadors for Christ, as though You, Father God, are making an appeal through us to reach the lost and our lost loved ones. Help us Father, with this appeal to beg our lost loved ones on behalf of Christ to be reconciled to You.

You made the Lord Jesus sin who knew no sin to be sin our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him, and we are praying this blessing for our lost loved ones also.

In Jesus name we pray and thank You, amen.From 2 Corinthians 5
