But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the Lord was kindled against the children of Israel. 2 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Bethaven, on the east of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai. 3 And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour thither; for they are but few. 4 So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai. 5 And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water. 6 And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the Lord until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads. 7 And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord God, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan! 8 O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies! 9 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name? 10 And the Lord said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?

Women Arising in Zion

Join This HeartCry Prayer - Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 11:30am - 1:30pm (UK time)

Women like Hannah…….   1 Samuel 1 & 2

• Who arise when others, even husbands and leaders, are still sitting; possibly defying protocol and decorum.
• Who snap out of vicious religious cycles, practices and routines which produce nothing.
• Whose commitment to God and His kingdom’s cause outweighed her own personal needs
• Who move in the supernatural, walking in prophetic insight into kingdom matters.
• Who are content to be silent labourers but whose labour changes the tide of evil in the church
• Who cast off the complacency of presumption and embrace change.
• Women like Mary of Nazareth, Mary of Bethany and those who went to the tomb…… Luke 1:38-39; Matthew 26:6-13, 28:8
• Who arise and go quickly and promptly when the Lord instructs or urges them.
• Women who pour out their lives on Jesus Christ; whose lives are a sweet fragrance of the new creation life.
• Women who commit their future to the Lord damning the consequences.
• Women who are not held back by tradition or religion, but arise taking responsibility.
• Women who enter into the fellowship of the supernatural by submitting their natural life to the death of the cross, women who are broken.

Prayers:

• Lord, visit the women of the church and raise women like Hannah for Yourself. Deliver women in the church from religion and endless empty religious activities.
• Lord, raise a new breed of women in the church who refuse to just come ‘eating and drinking’, but who dare to change the status quo by arising.
• Lord, by the vehicle of the cross-centered gospel, raise women who are dead to self and alive to Christ- true specimens of the new creation life.
• Lord, fill the church with women who will cast off complacency and presumption; women who are delivered from the distractions of this world by the power of the cross.
• Lord, raise true labourers among the womenfolk of the church; silent labourers whose labour will change the course of evil tide that is plaguing the church; women who will not give up until the church is all she is destined to be.

Matthew 9:36-38……

Women in church have been used, abused, deceived, violated, ridiculed and damaged because Satan hates women. Many women in the church are like sheep without a shepherd, tossed to and from by every wave of doctrine

Prayers:

• Lord, send labourers to the women in the church and harvest their souls into Your barn.
• Lord, we pray for women leaders in the church and the pastor’s wives – please encounter them with the cross of Christ. Let them be shining examples of godly women not given to filthy lucre, the love of money and all manner of evil. Let these ones begin to arise for You, Lord, arising in prayer, intercessions and travail for the church and leading others to do the same.

God's Purpose Concerning The Church

Join This HeartCry Prayer - Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 11:30am -1:30pm (UK time)

Text: 1 Samuel 16 & 17

Matthew 16:18- “And I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”

Ephesians 3:10-11 – “to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places, according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ.”

Eph 3:10-11 (AMP) – “So now through the church the multifaceted wisdom of God [in all its countless aspects] might now be made known [revealing the mystery] to the [angelic] rulers and authorities in heavenly places. This is in accordance with the [the terms of] the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus.”

Ephesians 5:25-27- “….. just as Christ loved the church and have Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.”

THE CHURCH OF CHRIST IS A GLORIOUS CHURCH – ‘GLORY’ IS GOD’S ETERNAL PURPOSE CONCERNING HER. NO MATTER WHAT WE SEE NOW, THE CHURCH WILL BE GLORIOUS. THE STORY OF THE CHURCH DOES NOT END WHERE IT IS TODAY.

Thanking the Lord for His eternal purpose for the church

• Lord, we thank You for the church and for Your eternal purpose for her. There is great hope for the church because of Your eternal purpose. Thank You Lord for Your word which washes, sanctifies (John 17:17) and cleanses the church. We thank You Lord because the church will be holy and without blemish.
• Thank You Jesus for You are building Your church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against her. This is Your word concerning the church and we trust You to fulfil it. Thank You the present darkness will not overshadow Your church because she is Your body and You cannot be overshadowed by darkness.
• Thank You Lord for Your church will be glorious. Thank You for Your glory shall be displayed by the church. Isaiah 60:1-2
• Thank You Lord. As You have intended so shall it be concerning Your church.

God’s gifts to the church- Leaders after His own heart

• Ephesians 4:11-12- Lord, we thank You for You have already given gifts to equip the saints and to edify the church.  1 Sam 16:1 – Lord, let the leaders You have prepared and provided for Yourself begin to emerge from obscurity now.
• Lord, make room now for those leaders- in -waiting to come to limelight. Let Your ‘Davids’ who are in training begin to arise to take their place in the church – men of valour, men of war and kingdom minded men. 1 Sam 16:18; 17:45-47
• Lord, deliver the church from leaders from whom Your Spirit has departed, leaders whom You have rejected but they still want to occupy their positions. Deliver the church from leaders like Saul, who can no longer stand up for the cause of the kingdom; leaders who flee and retreat in the time of war. 1 Sam 17:11, 24. Deliver the church from leaders who have taken the accursed things, leaders who are the reason for the church’s retreat and defeat.
• Lord, give the church apostles who are not afraid to stand up and defend the purity of the gospel of Christ; those who will defend it with their lives if need be; authentic apostles who will not bow or succumb to mammon. Give us apostles who will spearhead the preaching of the cross-centered gospel in the nations and who will challenge compromising apostles without fear of man.
• Dear Lord, give us prophets who will declare Your word boldly, speaking out against evil in the church and in the nations; prophets who will not speak lies but declare the truth fearlessly. Prophets who will challenge lawlessness and wickedness at a national/government level.
• Lord, send us prophets who will command the fear of the Lord by speaking on Your behalf to national leaders.

Leaders from among the youth- 1 Sam 16:11; 17:14, 33; 42, 55-58; 1 Timothy 4:12; Jeremiah 1:7-8

• Lord, thank You for our youth and for what You are doing among them. Thank You for Trip to Calvary, Decoding the Word and all the youth platforms. Lord, raise up valiant leaders from among these ones. Encounter these young lives in Your mercy Lord.
• Lord, raise an army of youth in the church who be radical propagators of the mystery of the gospel of Christ, youth whose lives are samples of the Christ life; youth who you have prepared in the secret place like David; youth who will cause the church to arise and take the battle to the gate of the enemy. 1 Sam 17:52
• Lord, raise up youth in the church who will not follow rejected leaders into battle even when others are doing so; those who will wait for their God-ordained timing to come forward.

Matthew 3:7-10 (NIV)

7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. 9 And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 10 The axe is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

Matthew 3:7-10 (AMPC)

7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee and escape from the wrath and indignation [of God against disobedience] that is coming?

8 Bring forth fruit that is consistent with repentance [let your lives prove your change of heart]; 9 And do not presume to say to yourselves, We have Abraham for our forefather; for I tell you, God is able to raise up descendants for Abraham from these stones!10 And already the ax is lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

Deliver the church from her presumptions (Matthew 25:1-13, Matthew 3:9, Obadiah 1:3)

• Lord, forgive the church for the sin of presumption concerning Your warnings. You are speaking loud and clear, cause the church to take heed and arise quickly. 

• Open the eyes of Your people, Lord, to the situation around so that the church can shake off every presumptuous attitude. Anoint our eyes with eye salve so that the true state of things is clear and not vague or misunderstood. Let the gravity of Your will dawn afresh on Your church.

• Lord, deliver the church from empty claims- claims that are not resulting in changed lives. (Gal 6:15; Revelations 3:17-18)

• Lord, expose Esau in the church so that we will stop sowing to Esau expecting to produce Israel. Deliver the church from this presumption.

Deliver the church from complacency (Matthew 3:10; Isaiah 32:9-11; Isaiah 52:1-2)

• Holy Spirit, breathe new life into the church and deliver us from complacency. Baptise us with Your fire and set hearts aflame, hearts that will burn and shine for Your kingdom’s cause in these evil last days.

• Let there be a season of true repentance in the church; a repentance that will produce a complete change of direction for the church. Help the church to return to Christ and His Gospel of The Cross.

• “The axe is laid to the root…”- the handwriting is on the wall! Lord, cause the church to wake up to urgency and seriousness of the times we are in now.

• Arise and set the church in motion, o Lord! Revive Your zeal in Your church, Lord.

• Arise, O Zion, put on your strength (Isaiah 52:1-2). Shake off the dust of your complacency and arise, shine, for your light is come (Isaiah 60:1).

Lord bring the change needed to the church… (1 Sam 16:13-14)

• Lord, for Zion’s sake, bring the change in leadership in the church where it is needed. Let the ‘Sauls’ give way to Your ‘Davids’ so that Zion can be established. 

• Lord, appoint Your apostles and prophets in the church who will defend the purity of the gospel of Christ. Revive Your church again!

• Holy Spirit, resign the old prophets and those self-appointed apostles who are polluting the church. Don’t allow Your people to follow leaders whom You have rejected. Revive Your church again!

• Spirit of Christ, change the direction of the church in our day. Give us new hearts, more love, more passion for souls. Let the preaching of the cross centred gospel become the sole occupation of the church again. Lord, make the church the custodian of the Cross-Centred gospel once again. Revive Your church again!

• Cause the church to arise with tears and groans and fasting and cause a spirit of prayer and intercession to lay hold of us. Let there be widespread travail for souls and warfare for the kingdom like never before until the Lord returns.

REVIVE YOUR CHURCH O LORD!

    Revive Thy Work O Lord

1.      Revive Thy work, O Lord,

Thy mighty arm make bare;

Speak with the voice that wakes the dead,

And make Thy people hear.

2.      Revive Thy work, O Lord,

Disturb this sleep of death;

Quicken the smold’ring embers now

By Thine almighty breath.

3.      Revive Thy work, O Lord,

Create soul-thirst for Thee;

 And hungering for the bread of life

 O may our spirits be.

4.      Revive Thy work, O Lord,

Exalt Thy precious name; 
And, by the Holy Ghost, our love

For Thee and Thine inflame.

5.      Revive Thy work, O Lord,

Give Pentecostal showers;

The glory shall be all Thine own,

The blessing, Lord, be ours.
