Join This HeartCry Prayer - Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 11:30am - 1:30pm (UK time)
Ephesians 4:1-3
'Unless we individually walk worthy of our calling into the light with
all lowliness of mind, meekness and gentleness, we shall continue to injure the
body of Christ and bring her into disunity."
Prayer
- Lord, help me to focus on my ‘walk’ rather than my ‘work’ so that I am not one who inflicts the injury of disunity on Your Body. Make me one who builds Your body and not tear it down.
- Lord, I plead with You today, help me to understand more clearly, more fully and more deeply the calling to which I am called in Christ Jesus so that I can walk worthy of it.
- Lord, show me specifically what I must do to walk worthy of the calling with which I am called.
Ephesians 4:4-6
"One body,
one Spirit, one hope, one Lord…."
Prayer
- Lord, restore Your church to her charter of unity. As You did in Matthew 21, Lord, rid the church of every system, structure and set up that works against her charter of unity. Lord, bring a fresh revelation of Ephesians 4:4-6 to the church.
- Jesus Christ is the church’s one foundation. Lord, cause Your church to bring her focus back to Christ and Him alone, to Christ and Him crucified. Let the church be built up once again on her one foundation – Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 4:7-13
Prayer
- Lord, re-visit the church with Your gifts of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. Let their function work for the equipping of the saints for ministry and for the edification of Your body.
- Holy Spirit, weed out self-appointed apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers from the church. Re-crop Your church with shepherds after Your own heart, Lord.
- Holy Spirit, activate these gifts to the church to function effectively until we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man and the full stature of the fullness of Christ.
Ephesians 4:15-16
Prayer
- Holy Spirit, cause there to be a growing up of the church into Christ alone, not doctrine, not sacraments or activities or memberships. Let Your glory be seen in the church again in our days.
- Lord, let love blossom in the church. Holy Spirit, shed abroad in our hearts the fire of Your love. Let the world know that we are Christ’s disciples because of the love that is evidently demonstrated among us.
In order for us to walk worthy
of our calling to the new creation life, each one of us must come to the place
of death- the place of the daily bearing of the cross. This is the only way to
keep the self-life from contaminating the flow of the Holy Spirit through us as
His vessels in the coming revival.
Luke 14:26-33- The Lord is doing
two important things. He is building His church (Matt 16:18) and raising an
army. For both projects, the Lord needs disciples men and women who have
forsaken all to follow Him, those who have been completely emptied of the
self-life and are completely filled with the Christ-life.
The Lord is re-cropping His
church with His disciples. If I can’t hate my life and forsake all, I CANNOT be
His disciple which means I cannot be part of His true church.
Prayer
- Lord, help me to keep denying myself, taking up my cross daily and following You.
- Help me to count everything a loss to gain You, Lord. Help to count the cost NOW!
- Open my eyes to see that my life is worth nothing unless I am serving Your kingdom’s purpose on earth.
- Lord, have mercy on me today and help by Your Eternal Spirit to lay my all on Your altar for You.
- Lord, I am resolved to follow You and be all that You have purposed me to be for You.
My body is Your sanctuary
My body is Your sanctuary
Purify me as gold
So I can be bold
To say, my body
Is Your sanctuary
