multiplication.
You will, mighty Lord, hasten it in its time!
From Isaiah 61:
1-3
Lord, according to Your Word and the
anointing of Your Spirit upon us, use us:
to bring good news to the afflicted,
to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners,
to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord, and the day of God’s vengeance against
sin,
to grant a garland of victory instead of the ashes of defeat,
to pour out the Holy Spirit’s oil of gladness,
to offer the mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting.
3
May we be known as strong
and mighty oaks of righteousness, planted by You, Lord, that You
may be glorified.
4
Use us according to Your
word, O God, to rebuild the ancient ruins, to raise up structures
devastated in the past, to repair ruined cities made
spiritually desolate by the sins of many
generations.
6
May we all, Lord, be
known as priests and ministers of the Lord regardless of our secular
occupation, and may we be abundantly provided for.
8
Lord, we reverently remind
You of Your covenant with us, and we remember our covenant
with you.
9
May our spiritual offspring
be known among the nations as the offspring whom the Lord
has blessed.
11
According to Your word, O Lord, cause
righteousness and praise to spring up before all the
nations because of your mighty work among us.
From Isaiah 62:
6-7
As Watchmen on the Walls, O Lord, all
day and all night, may we never keep silent.
We remind You, Father, of Your promises to us, and we
are trusting You by Your mighty power
to establish and make us a praise unto Your Name throughout
all the earth!
From Isaiah 63:
14
As with your prospering of natural
Israel
, “Make for Thyself a glorious name” in your blessing
of us.
From Isaiah 64:
4
Since ancient times no
one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you,
who acts on behalf of those who
wait for him.
From Revelation 3
7-8
Mighty Savior, we accept from Your
hand an open door of opportunity which no man can close,
and we pray for obedience as a church
to walk through it.
We acknowledge that we have but little power on our
own, but we have desired to guard as true
and pure Your Word and not to deny Your powerful
name. Make Your Name powerful in our
midst, Lord!
