Praying today for the Church in Chiang Mai.

From Phil. 1:9:

·             * that your love may abound more and more

·             *  In knowledge & depth of insight

·            *   Discern what is best

·              * Pure and blameless

·            *  Filled with all the fruit of righteousness

·            *  Glorify God

Praying for churches, ministries, orphanages, for pastors and leaders, that the love of Jesus would be all-consuming. Praying for Thai, Karen, and expatriate churches to grow and grow in depth of understanding, in obedience to the Word and His Spirit’s leading. Let the mystery of Your love overflow, truly understanding the depth of Your love for them.

Praying for 3 who gave their lives to Jesus Sunday at City Gate Church—let the light of Christ shine on them, let them grow up into the full measure of the stature of Jesus, enlighten the eyes of their hearts.

Across the city, let love abound. Take us deeper in You, passionate, intense love for Jesus in the depths of our being, love for the lost, conviction of sin, compassion, Your heart. Let love arise in believers, love that suffers long and is kind, 1 Cor. 13 kind of love, agape, thinks no evil, bears all things, hopes all things, endures all things, believes all things. Passion and desire to seek after this kind of love, not selfish or rude. Deepen Thai believers to think outside themselves, to look up, to come up higher in Him.

Hebrews 10 “let us”…

·            *  Have confidence to enter the Holy Place

·             * Through our Great High Priest Jesus

·             *  Draw near to God

·           *    Hold unswervingly to the hope we profess

·              * Consider how to spur one another on to love and good deeds

·            *   Not give up meeting together

·            *   Throw off everything that hinders

·            *   Fix our eyes on Jesus

Acts Church, City Gate Church, Chiang Mai Christian Fellowship, House of Praise, and all others

Give us and them diligence, wake them up, make them fully alive and active in You. Break off apathy and laziness, spirit of sleep, let all of us run with endurance the race set before us with determination, perseverance. Let us recognize it is a time of harvest!

Praying for all the prayer efforts and prayer leaders for the prayer houses springing up across the city and the nation: Marlene, Joy, Oy, Norbert, Amie, Anna, Helen, Craig, Nick, and all those laboring to pray and to raise up prayer for the region inside and outside here. Father fan the flames of intercession and spiritual warfare. Let us stand with You alongside You to intercede for Your children, for Your Bride, Your Church.

City of Refuge—calling it into existence. Let it be a Revival Hub for all Asia, even for the world. A place of rest and refreshing in the Lord. Picture—pour it out across the continent. Divine impact—You want to use this city, powerfully. Let Your Presence rest here in ever-increasing measure. Release Your presence into the vacuum, flood in by Your Presence. You can do this kind of work in this city. Come and do this, this is Your will, Your desire…

Local churches enter in, align themselves, bring to birth the New Thing You desire to do, You are brooding over it by Your Spirit. Hover, Holy Spirit, bring forth the New Thing You desire.

Drink deep of Your powerful presence we have now—Ask—Lord Jesus COME! Holy Spirit, COME! Anoint ministries. Called here to bless somewhere else—strategic to see God’s purposes being worked out.

Body fragment but unite us together in You, One Lord One Faith, One Baptism. Neither Jew nor Greek, male nor female but all One in You.

Empower us to cultivate our times in the prayer closet, in the secret place more and more. In a greater way, we call it forth. More prayer, more interconnectivity, greater measure of committed devoted prayer. 

Perspective to so shift that we are moving deeper into the River of Your Presence. Perspective to so shift…we can see Your hands moving. Unless the heart is right the outward does nothing. Ignite our hearts with a fresh vision for prayer. Let the city see something different. Raise it up across the board. Spirit of prayer for Chiang Mai.

Vision of a palm oil tree, dripping with the precious oil, useful in so many ways, oil of the Spirit pour forth, fruit nourishing us, leaning out over the waters, dropping precious seeds carried to the four corners of the earth. Spirit, pour forth Your oil, endow us with Your gifts and empower us with Your enabling strength. Thank you, Father that the joy of the Lord is our strength. Pour forth Joy!!

Pastors Gampon and Marion, Kroensak and other pastors and leaders, pure hearts, burning desire for more of You, nothing more contagious than Your Spirit, who You are, glory and majesty. Riches of the kingdom, become full visions of what You can do, what you desire to do. Let them look and behold You.

Buddhist mindsets be gone—no more known as a city of Buddhist meditation, but a city of prayer to the Living God. Doi Suthep—becoming a house of prayer for all nations. Founded on blood but the blood of the Lamb cleansing and washing clean. This is to be a city of prayer, intercession, be renewed, to give weekends and weeks going deep with You—power of the Evil One to be broken. Broken by the power of Jesus’ Name. New freedom, new light, new love of God poured out!

Calling us—workers to come from across SE Asia, to be renewed and revived. Gifts of the Spirit released. Pray more against satan’s schemes against the pastors. They would be aware – open their eyes so they are not unaware of his schemes. We do not focus on him but we are aware of his schemes. Father, even the hidden schemes of the enemy, You know—break them apart, bring confusion in the enemy’s camp, bind away the evil plans of darkness. We worship You who are Light, Love, Life. Dwell in Your Presence, Father. Worship we call forth worship! Father, help us recognize the schemes of the enemy and not cooperate with him. Father help us not to join forces with the accuser of the brethren but speak pure words, refined in the furnace of the earth seven times, holy words, words of encouragement and praise only.

Deposit within us the understanding how to battle. Desperate days require desperate means. Seriousness about our call and our work. We bind the enemy’s schemes, and pray for unmasking of his works, light to shine in dark places. Reveal hidden things that can be cleansed and removed. We pray against fear and all the works of fear, except the clean pure fear of God. Greater measure of that discernment.

Song of Solomon 2:10-1510“My beloved responded and said to me, ‘Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, And come along. 11‘For behold, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone. 12‘The flowers have already appeared in the land; The time has arrived for pruning the vines, And the voice of the turtledove has been heard in our land. 13‘The fig tree has ripened its figs, And the vines in blossom have given forth their fragrance. Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, And come along!’” 14“O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, In the secret place of the steep pathway, Let me see your form, Let me hear your voice; For your voice is sweet, And your form is lovely.” 15“Catch the foxes for us, The little foxes that are ruining the vineyards, While our vineyards are in blossom.”

Let fear fall by the wayside. Fig tree forms its early fruit—time of the fruiting of labors long past, the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Let us be fully One with Your purposes.

Not Laodicean church, but fully on fire, passionate, radiant with Your presence and fire upon us. Not judgmental but invitation to go deeper, grow in passion, return to first love. Let’s go hard after You, red hot in devotion for Jesus, abandoned devotion to You, clearly different as a believer, passionate, intense, fervent, wholehearted desire and delight. Tendency to be so casual, but empower enable anoint us to be wholehearted.

Luke 9 Count the cost, costliness of the sacrifice. Extravagant cost, sufferings, they went through yet they held on to You. Living sacrifices Romans 8:1-3

In Your perfect will as You see fit, let us see Your hand in the difficulties, embrace the cross, let those trials be turned to gold. Allow You to form me, release Your power upon me.

1 Kings 7:10-11 Solomon’s buildings foundations built of costly stones, construction of the temple, costly stones, costly foundations.

Give grace, have a different perspective on the hardships. What are you trying to build in us? Lifestyle of prayer and worship, part of costly foundation. Embrace the costliness. Give grace, power and willingness to become part of fruitfulness for all challenges & good things, spirit of love and gratitude. Fill us with Your love, Jesus! Amen!!

Touch our mouths with a coal from the altar. We cry out in repentance. Cleanse us of all the evil unrighteousness. Forgive us for enslaving other human beings. Forgive us for the filth being spewed from Hollywood and the pornography that gets slung all over the world!

Thailand, forgive this nation for sex trafficking, for human trafficking. Forgive us on behalf of this nation for the wrongs we’ve done as a people! Send revival, send revival!

Jer. 33:2-3 Call to me and I will answer…

We cry out, we cry out! We press into You, Oh God! We call out unto You! We want to go out and do something so we don’t cry out to You! Yet, You call us to Yourself and tell us to “ask”. Thank you for the upthrust in prayer. Prayer is the most important critical thing. Faithful Father, help us to faithfully meet You day by day!

Give us a spirit of wisdom and revelation, to know Your heart more, to know You more, give up on all these other desires that compete. Intimately drawing near to You, drawing near!

Release that spirit of understanding that Your promises are sure but we need to do our part…we want to do our part. Like infants still grasping the kingdom, forgive us for still being infants when we should be grown up. How do we communicate that to others?

Abandoned devotion, clinging to You – we ask for that for this young generation. When it usurps the place of You, it’s not good. Remove our idols. Let us be a fragrant aroma to You! 

2 Cor. 2:14-16 Daily we’re given over to death that Your life might be revealed in us.

Song of Songs 4:16 Awake north wind, and come, south wind! Blow on my garden that its fragrance may spread abroad. Let my lover come into his garden and taste its choice fruits.

1 Cor. 2:1-5 faith not built on men’s wisdom but on God’s power. Depending on You, relying on You. Resting in You. Raise up faith in the hearts of young people, Father! Thank you for this opportunity!

Victor, stir up faith. Greater willingness truth in You, to take steps of faith. Bring it to pass. Faith to arise. Willingness to let faith and dependence arise.

Show Yourself strong on their behalf. Deeper reliance upon You. Fragrance of Christ. Across SVM2 work, frangrance of Christ, experiential knowledge of Christ. Sit and wait in the secret place. Abandone devotion, spirit of renewal, revival. Sending out piece, greater quality.

“Whatever we are is what we reproduce in others.” A. Z. Tozer

Depths, so revived, light up the generation with Your Spirit, Your light. Bring greater glory, we’re asking for quality message bearers! That can stand the strain and the pressure. With the ‘Keith Green’ anointing. Tempered with sensitivity and love. Fragrance of Christ.

Mary anointed Jesus’ feet and the house was filled with the fragrance oil of the Holy Spirit. As we pour our lives out, fragrance of the Spirit be poured out upon them… Only as we are poured out as an offering to Christ is His fragrance spread abroad.

Touch the unreached Father. Remembering Betsy and Charlene! Father our sisters and brothers in Syria! Fragrance of Christ be poured out through their lives. Even in the midst of struggle and turmoil. Pour out Your fragrance. Cover the entire country. Fill the House. Fill the House with greater glory….

Experience the oil of the Spirit, new vessels of Your oil being poured out place to place. Costly sacrifice no sacrifice too great or too costly. Help us be willing Oh Father!

4 Components:

•        Mission Meetings
•        Bible studies
•        GO declaration
•       Global Prayer Meetings

Release a vision for the harvest. Give the command to GO into hearts—let them hear it, personalize it. Hearts moved with compassion and resting in Your commands. Chief motivation obedience to the Father.

Implementation with great power and great force. Move on the hearts of leaders. Release them to RUN. Student ministries after student ministries…let the RUN in the path of Your commands. Let there be a reproduction of Global Prayer Teams, quarterly or monthly, as they pray on topics related to missions movements. Revolutionize the vision for greater harvest! So cultivating a spirit of abandoned devotion, cut to their hearts, compelled by Your love. Anointing on these. It’s what You use. Sharing information spreading them.

Message Bearers—costly sacrifice, spirit of costly sacrifice, stretching, exercising faith, grains of wheat falling into the ground and dying, bearing much fruit.

Fruitfulness brings glory to God. Zweimer giving his life. So many in SE Asia, MENA elsewhere needing to know Jesus. Lives of costly sacrifice offered to Him who alone is WORTHY! Enemy cannot hold them back.

Bring fruitfulness in SE Asia! Fruitfulness to come forth, the harvest come forth. Calling forth the harvest. Let the harvest come. Cry out for Afghanistan. Hopelessness but yet calling for a turning, a harvest. Viable church to arise. House church to arise, authority over fearfulness to meet—give boldness to seek out other believers and worship together, practice “one-anothers” and strengthen each other. Disciple-makers to spread reach out to others. Who are you preparing as Message Bearers to this nation and its peoples? Gossiping of gospel, great fruitfulness. Let the reaper overtake the plowman. Believers arise.

Central Asian nations: calling for the harvest to come forth in Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tadjikistan, Kyrgystan, Azerbaijan, and every people, every nation, let God’s glory cover each place. Crying out to the nations! North Caucasus peoples—let the harvest come forth!! Scripture advocates that incredible ingathering. Holy Spirit come and move in these desperate nations. Remove what is hindering the gospel and speed Your Word to those who are hungry and thirst for righteousness and Truth. Prepare Your Church for this great ingathering today. Today is the day of salvation.

Give a maturity to the Church, prepare them, make us ready, expand our minds, help us!

Get us ready so we can receive it, 100,000 Message Bearers in the harvest in the most difficult places!

Mauritania! Crying out to You for Mauritania! Remember the sacrifices, the blood that’s been shed for Your Name’s sake. Calling forth the harvest! Remember the sacrifices and pour it forth!

Respond, move in power. You’re a big God, You are able to do all things. Pour forth the harvest today, Father!

2-23-12

Show us Your ways, Your thoughts this morning! You do nothing without revealing it to Your servants the prophets, Father. We choose to wait on You this morning to listen and receive revelation from You. Silence our flesh, the voice of our own thoughts, the enemy, and help us to hear clearly, to listen and obey Your voice.

Valley of Decision, multitudes, multitudes in the Valley of Decision today. We choose to say, ‘yes’ to You, we’re not confused—we’re waiting, watching. We choose to keep saying ‘yes’ to You.

Trading our sorrows, receiving the joy of the Lord, confidently resting in You. You will accomplish these things. We can rest before You. You will do it. Cancel the attacks of the enemy. The enemy wants to get in and mess things up—shut the gates and keep out the wolf.

Watch over us—watch over our families here or scattered abroad. Protect Simon as he’s traveling now. Come and thwart the enemy’s plans for evil. We thank you that no weapon formed against us can prosper! Shield of faith over all that pertains to us. Put Your protective shield over all the workers of SVM2, alliances guard and keep every one of the families against disruptions, guide us when we have to figure out tricky situations, keep them at bay, allow us ample time to devote to seeking Your face, drawing near to You. Guard their families.

We pray against the little disruptions that waste precious time and energy. We ask You to guard our families, every concern, even where their next meal is coming from—Father so many must concern themselves at such a basic level, but yet You said if we seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, then all these things will be added to us! Do it Father and help us to prioritize seeking first Your kingdom!

Ezra 1 mentions going up to build the house of the Lord—and those gave willingly. They came to give and to help build. We call forth the willing helpers in prayer, finance and physical partnership. Cause their hearts to be right, let them be happy to do it, to give willingly with  joy!

We call forth laborers who are right in character, provide for their children, basic needs for our brothers and sisters, a special anointing upon them, big picture vision and courage and faith to take those bold steps. Holy Spirit endue them with special anointing!

Prepare leaders, going after them, preparing church leaders to hear and respond, preparing spiritual life directors, now’s the time! Preparation to take place, break up that fallow ground! Student mobilizing initiatives. Call it forth in Jesus’ Name! Increase Your power, Father!

Psalm 90:17 Establish the work of our hands!

Isa. 54 Enlarge the place of your tent, lengthen your cords strengthen yours stakes, spread abroad to the north, south, east, and west! Let that prayer room grow, let your sphere of influence grow, let your fruitfulness expand!

It’s Your work, Father, we are Your vessels! Jars of clay, transform us to do the work of Your hands, establish for us the work of our hands in You. Open a place for that prayer room!

I see a greater thing, expanding, enlarge the tent. Tent of Meeting, Holy of holies…enlarge the tent, stretch forth the curtains, right and left, pull back the curtains, deeply rooted in You, Father!

Motivations, can be wrong, identity issues, wrong motivations, presumptions. Father, cleanse hearts and minds. Make our motivations pure and holy! Lead us in You! Do that with a spirit of rest. Establish the work of our hands, Father as we align with You. Enlarge it for Your glory, for the sake of the nations. Let humility arise, marked by humility, lowliness, rest. Let us die to anxious striving! There’s just no fruitfulness in that. Let us be humble, broken, contrite in Your eyes, for Your sake.

Philippines—join with what You’re doing. National level facilitator calling forth. Oh Father!

We pray for Hong Kong, Argentina, Brazil, for student movements in each of these nations. Oh, God, call forth this generation for Your kingdom purposes!

Jeremiah 3:15 shepherds after Your heart. David, a man after Your heart. We ask for that globally, new breed of pastor, shepherd after Your heart. How rare that is on the earth today! True Shepherds after Your heart, Father!

We are all extremely weak, fall short, but lead us into that place, processes in his life, his heart of intimate connection to You, love nothing but God and hate nothing but sin! Not more quantity but greater quality! 14 years Paul was in the wilderness—in the secret place.

Message Bearers willing to go years in obscurity. Willing to pay the price, not looking for fame and fortune, but for Your kingdom’s coming! Let us model this! Mighty men and women raise them up!

Expose hidden schemes of the enemy; shine Your light—expose the Truth.

 Crisis—times of crisis, divine pause. Shine Your light! Message bearers, be made ready! You’re bigger God! Shine forth Your light! Shine Spirit! Rest upon them! May they be compelled by Your love to share. Send them out! Bring peace to these delicate situations.

Look at the nations, watch and be amazed! Hab 1:5 watch & see what I will do! Write the vision and make it plain on tablets Hab. 2:2 that the herald may run with it. You do in Your timing all that You have in Your heart!! You made the disciples successful in Your time. It will certainly come, it will not delay! The earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, like the waters cover the sea!

Gears are shifting…in a certain gear you can go up to so fast, but then you become maxed out. It is necessary to shift gears. We must put in the clutch, push the pedal to go faster. Then, there’s a lull during the shift. When the shift happens, more power can be released and you can go forward with even greater speed and efficiency. Praying for discernment to cooperate with the shifting in the heavenlies.

Transition to birthing time…most intense time of delivery. Much work. There was silence in heaven for about ½ an hour. New alignment is happening. Birthing a new thing…

Vision on Sunday of eagles, their restful flight, soaring… Isa. 40 to those who have no might he increases strength. The key to getting through, to mounting up with wings like eagles, waiting on the Lord. Not just a passive waiting, but active, engaged, attentive waiting with expectancy. 

Song: I will wait for you, Jesus, You’re the sun in my horizon. All my hope’s in You, Jesus. I can see you now arisin’; I can see you now arisin’.

WAIT Dwell in His presence. Atune our hearts and spirits to You. Remove clutter that so easily distracts us. Settle down into You—take every thought captive to You. Silence every voice. Speak for Your servant is listening.

“Gathering storm” like in Texas storms, there’s a kind of silence just before the storm, the sky can go green, there’s a feeling in the air. You can smell the rain….

Praying over the leaders around the world. US, French elections, Senegal, Syria, lots of leadership changes, N Korea…You tell us to pray for leaders in government. Governmental authorities changing. Coming shift in Thailand as well. David was a king after Your own heart. Father, put in kings after Your own heart! Let them be prepared in righteousness. Let them have hearts after You alone. Divine intervention – asking for Your man or woman in place.

Cyrus Isa. 45:1-8

Isa. 49:8-12

Crying out for godly discerning leaders. All they put their trust in is shaking: monetary system, material things, political system, governing systems, even natural system is shaking. Raise up deeper dependence on You. Not trust in bank accounts, governments only by Your Spirit, Father! Divine wisdom to be released. Not to allow us to be trusting in things that will ultimately burn. Mature believers look to You, ask, in the midst of storms.

Come hide in You, Jesus, found in You. Run into Your arms. Model that, come by the thousands, wisdom to be released. Not to look at trends but to cry out to You. Out of shaking, founded on unshakeable One.

People to be in their places. “Places everyone!” Director is calling to order the stage, and the live action is about to begin. Calling forth the burning hearts, eyes open, ears open, watching, waiting, lamps full of oil and ready for the cry. Call them forth, Father, not too late!

Let us rest in You. Importunity, intensity, perseverance. Call forth those of the fellowship of the burning heart! Your requirements, time, perseverance, testing of the vision… Let Perseverance work in us… Young people willing to count the cost! Grip them in the vise grip of Your love, Father. Compelling of Your love.

Help them to keep with the process, go after the vision, willing to go through the valleys, death of a vision. Later You release the fullness. Sticking to it, willingness to count the cost, to come together with radical intensity. Call forth those who are wanting the challenge—rigorous discipline. Calling higher, to rule and reign, costly, counting the cost…

Hosea called to marry a harlot. Jeremiah called not to marry. Count the cost! Embrace the cross! In the world and not of it. Purposeful in being different, not tied to the world’s standards.

Greater teaching on the ways of God to bring us to that place of full surrender. Processes You use to mature us, greater teaching of the ways of God.

“Historic moment ahead”.

Praying for Jill & Simon, frustration in the waiting period, hear from schools in England, not in a waiting place but moving forward.

Today we come as Your children, Father! We want to thank you and praise You that we can really rely upon You, lean upon You, not our own wisdom or understanding. We are feeling overwhelmed, forces of evil seem oppressive and strong. Yet, we look to You, Jesus, You are the Champion, You are the Victor. All authority is Yours in heaven and on earth and under the earth today. Your Church will be and is victorious and the gates of hell cannot stand against it.

We want to stand with countries who have seen such overwhelmingly difficult circumstances today. For Nigeria—all the fighting, pillaging, murder and rape! Oh, Father, have mercy! Let their faith not fail! Give us a heightened vision of the cross, of Your wounds for our sake, of the blood of Jesus shed for us!

Student generations –give a true vision not just f what You did, but a new understanding at new levels of Your broken body and what these wounds made available to us. Help this generation to walk in holiness! It’s impossible except by the blood of Jesus!

Help us to faithfully preach Christ and Him crucified! Paul did… Re-emphasis on the cross, the crucified one, man of sorrows, acquainted with grief. Revival birthed of the focus on Your crosss once more. What it meant for the Father to crush His Son and what it meant for the Son to submit to being crushed on our behalf! He endured for the joy set before Him—help us to endure likewise.

Produce endurance within us—in our struggles, hardships, misunderstandings, we need this, a fresh vision by grace saved through faith, not of works!

We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works which He prepared beforehand for us to walk in them. God prepared them. Now through the Church the manifold wisdom is being made known to rulers, authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose.

Strengthen us with power through His Spirit in your inner being. You are able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine. Help us to endure hardship as discipline, knowing that You are disciplining us as sons. Help us to strengthen our feeble arms and weak knees and to make level paths for our feet.

Heb. 13:3 Help us to remember those in prison as if we were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if we ourselves were suffering! Help us to identify with their suffering as You did with ours, Jesus!

Able to strengthen what remains. True unction and exhortation. Holding a high standard for Your Word. Fixed on Your Word, You, on global harvest! Release and establish this work a new work, fresh.

Breaking up fallow ground. Opposition from Satan. Establish this work. On Your heart, commanded it, mandated it—now bring it to pass! Establish the work of Your hands now, Father. No weapon formed against Your work will prosper. Breathe upon it. Call the right ones to participate in it. We welcome Your presence and Your process, according to Your step by step purposes.

Stand now with Ryan and Kelly, believing You for the open doors, the provision, the interns, the favor, the open heavens…

Bow the knee to Your authority, spirit of interdependence.

Titus speaks of urging young men to be sensible, purity of doctrine, sound speech…1 Tim. 4:12 says don’t despise your youth but set an example of living in this way…walking in an exemplary way, need for the cross, understanding full gospel. Not only for forgiveness, but free us.

Break down of understanding of the fullness of the gospel—let there come forth the full truth, the whole truth of the gospel. Jesus empowers us to walk in holiness.. Not trying harder—availing ourselves of the full breadth of the truth of the cross. Let us lay hold of MORE of what Your laid hold of us for!

Massive banqueting table set before us, not partaking of it, Jesus help us, help us to communicate it, strengthen what remains, let us lay hold of the fullness, burdened for all You have for us. Your kingdom coming in fullness.

Bondage be broken! How to be free, forgive us for not teaching, not imparting the fullness. Give the whole thing… for freedom Christ has set us free. “Let my people go…” free from bondages, cry out for the fullness of freedom. What You’ve purchased today!

“For the Lord gives wisdom and from His mouth comes knowledge and understanding.” -Proverbs 2:6

“Take your eyes off yourself and reset your focus. Take your eyes off your mountain and turn them to your mountain-maker. Take your eyes off your hardship and refocus, past the chaos, beyond the veil, where My sovereignty reigns over all. In the press, in the whirlwind, in the shifting sand, I have things to tell you that will usurp the ‘usurping one’, that will calm the storm, and will place the mountain into a swallowing sea. Turn to Me. Step back, step away, and turn to Me!”

“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” -James 1:5

“By wisdom a house is built and through understanding it is established.” -Proverbs 24:3

Col. 1:15 ^15-18We look at this Son and see the God who cannot be seen. We look at this Son and see God's original purpose in everything created. For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels—everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him. He was there before any of it came into existence and holds it all together right up to this moment. And when it comes to the church, he organizes and holds it together, like a head does a body.

…that in everything He might have the preeminence…

He is the image of the invisible God, all was created through and for Him! Head of the Body.

Father, today, we want to pray for the epicenter of world events: Israel, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Arab Peninsula.

Father we cry out to You for those imprisoned for their faith! For comfort, encouragement strength, boldness, Be with them in their suffering. That they may not feel alone or forgotten, but remind them that You are there with them. Encourage their families. Stretch forth Your hand and show Yourself strong on their behalf!

Restrain evil, Father! Give yet a window of opportunity for those who need to know You! Call forth Laborers, Message Bearers, to carry the light into the darkest places! Call forth laborers among the least-reached peoples! Kings of the earth may take their stand but the Lord in heaven laughs at them. He is on His Throne and rules over all!

Leaders drunk with their own power, Father, shine forth! You gave authority, You can take it away. Assad in Syria, Father, You alone know what is best for the extension of Your rule, righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit—Your Kingdom to prevail. Work out all the civil war situations to give a window of opportunity for the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Wisdom and understanding, Kingdom purposes to prevail. To the extent that we/they can grasp what is going on, show us that we may pray with Your purposes. Pray appropriately, give a greater dimension, outworking of Your kingdom purposes today.

Praying with power, Father, with Your perfect will to be brought forth.

Iran the key, the enemy is using this nation and its leaders to stir up trouble. If God would shake Iran, it’s like an octopus, cutting off the legs does not affect the head. Father, uproot, tear down, overthrow those who are in power that intend evil for your people.

Jeremiah 1:10-11  ^9-10God reached out, touched my mouth, and said, "Look! I've just put my words in your mouth—hand-delivered! See what I've done? I've given you a job to do among nations and governments—a red-letter day! Your job is to pull up and tear down, take apart and demolish, And then start over, building and planting."

Ask God to uroot, overthrow, cast down. Cut off the head, no peace in Syria until the evil is uprooted. The issue is that the enemy is trying to distract from the central key. Shaking like Iran has never known. No foundation able to stand, tear down the intricate structures which are supporting evil activities. Rise up, gospel witness in these days. Boldness and courage for the believers.

Syria B & C’s trip, supernatural provision, protection, providence…praying always for you with all prayers and supplications.

Col. 3:9 ^9-11Don't lie to one another. You're done with that old life. It's like a filthy set of ill-fitting clothes you've stripped off and put in the fire. Now you're dressed in a new wardrobe. Every item of your new way of life is custom-made by the Creator, with his label on it. All the old fashions are now obsolete. Words like Jewish and non-Jewish, religious and irreligious, insider and outsider, uncivilized and uncouth, slave and free, mean nothing. From now on everyone is defined by Christ, everyone is included in Christ.

Resistance to error—recognize the Truth and be set free!

2 Tim. 3:1-5 ^1-5Don't be naive. There are difficult times ahead. As the end approaches, people are going to be self-absorbed, money-hungry, self-promoting, stuck-up, profane, contemptuous of parents, crude, coarse, dog-eat-dog, unbending, slanderers, impulsively wild, savage, cynical, treacherous, ruthless, bloated windbags, addicted to lust, and allergic to God. They'll make a show of religion, but behind the scenes they're animals. Stay clear of these people.

How should we then live, Father! Guide us, form us, direct us, and enable us to live as lights shining in dark places! Light dispel the darkness!
