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!!
