How's everybody today? Hallelujah.
We just, in our prayers, we thank the Lord and thank for all the service members that paid the price for us this weekend.
We thank them for that. Father, we thank you, Lord. Be with their families as they celebrate now this weekend.
Lord, let it be focused on those that have given, some have given and some have given all.
And so, Father, I just pray for your hand to be upon them and their families.
And thank you, Lord, so much that they died, that those that died died for our freedom in Jesus' name. Amen.
Amen. Thank you, Lord. I had two brothers in the service and it just so turned out the timing.
I didn't go into the service. But anyway, we honor them today. Amen. Hallelujah.
Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus.
Well, we are going to have some, do some things unique today.
I'm going to share a little bit of a message and that for today about Watchmen and about intercessors.
And then at the end of that, I'm going to have three people come up and we're going to pray.
And they're going to be punchy prayers. They're going to be strong prayers.
And I want you to join in even though you'll be listening, but you can say amen, right?
You can agree. And so I ask you to rise up to that level today.
I'm praying. I'm praying for the passion of heaven to come on you today.
For intercession to come on you like never before. We all can pray.
We all can pray. We all can intercede. And that's one of the callings that we have.
If you don't know, now I'm starting to preach the message already.
If you don't know what the plans and purposes of God for you are, this is one of them.
This is one of them. It's for you to pray, to intercede.
In Luke, we can go to that one. In Luke chapter 10 verses 1 and 2.
Jesus is talking to the 70 here and he's giving them power to go out and to heal the sick, to preach the gospel, to bring the kingdom to the world.
To bring the kingdom to the world. And that's what we're called to do.
That's what we're called to do. And so he talks to them and he tells them a little bit about it.
And he comes and he says here, well now look, the harvest is great. The labors are few.
Pray the Lord of the harvest that he would send labors into the harvest.
So he's telling us ahead of time, literally he's prophesying here. He's prophesying.
The harvest is great. I don't know how many millions of people they had on the earth at that time.
Now we've got billions of people. And the harvest is great. The harvest is out there.
The people are out there. The souls are out there. And the harvest is going to be great.
He prophesies it. Then what's he say next?
But the labors are few. Who's he talking about?
He's talking about us. Me and you. You and me.
He's talking about the labors are few. He's speaking to the Laodicean church in this time.
The labors are few. The harvest is going to be great, but the labors are few.
The load gets lighter when there's many hands, as it says in the Scripture.
We need to be out there. The labors are few. We need to be praying.
We need to be praying. Then that's what he says. What's the solution to the problem here?
Great harvest. Few labors. What's the solution?
Pray. Pray.
Pray the Lord of the harvest will send labors into his harvest.
So way back then, 2000 years ago, he's praying for you and me.
He's praying for you and me. The watchman on the wall. He's praying for you.
The intercessors. Doesn't matter what age group you're in.
Whether you're a young group, I see young kids over here all the way over there.
I see middle-aged. Middle-aged kind of shifted.
When I was growing up, they said, don't trust anybody over 30.
That's when I was growing up. I'm way past that now.
So now you've got the young folks. You've got the middle-aged.
And I'm way past the middle-aged. And you've got people 50 to 70 years old.
There's one thing. There's so many differences in culture and different, you know,
lifestyles and boomers and Z generation and all these different things.
But there's one thing that we all can do.
Pray. And then take it deeper.
Inner seed. Inner seed.
See John 16, 13, Jesus was talking to disciples about the comforter.
And he said, the last phrase in that verse 13 says,
He'll show you, the Holy Spirit will show you things to come.
He'll show you things to come.
You get deep into intercession for a certain segment of people or location,
geographic location or people, a type, a culture of people.
And God will start to show you faces.
He'll start to show you people.
And your heart will start to cry out for them.
People you've never seen, people you've never met before.
And you'll weep for them.
And you'll cry for them for salvation, for souls for the kingdom,
for healing for them, for deliverance for them.
And you've never seen them before.
You've never met them.
But God will put a burden on your heart for them.
God will come show you them.
And then you begin to pray, begin to pray.
And you'll weep and you'll cry for them, for souls to be one for the kingdom.
And this is what God is doing in this time.
And this is what I'm preaching to you and saying to you today.
I'm praying for an impartation of the Holy Spirit upon you today.
So a burden of intercession will come upon you.
That your prayers won't be just random prayers anymore.
They're going to be guided by the Holy Spirit.
They're going to be directed by the Holy Spirit.
They're going to be specific for a time and a place.
Yeah, that's what it's about.
You know, a lot of times we have people...
You know, and I'll just say it this way.
You know, Paul went out on his missionary trips.
You can go to Hebrews 5 verse 11.
And Paul was out on missionary trips.
He went out.
You know, this is approximately...
Historians tell us about 10 years maybe after Pentecost.
And he went out on missionary trips.
He got dramatically saved.
You know, the story, the light on the road to Damascus.
And he goes out on missionary trips.
And then he comes back to Jerusalem.
Not only the capital of Israel,
but that's where their home base was.
The disciples in them.
And he comes back.
And what does he find?
Well, I have a lot to say.
It's hard to explain since you've become dull of hearing.
They've been around preaching and teaching
and having this meeting, this...
You know, that meeting.
And they've become dull of hearing.
Go on to the next one.
Verse.
And what he said is,
though by this time you ought to be teachers,
but you need someone to teach you again the first principles,
the oracles of God.
You've come to need milk, not solid food.
He was, he was, he was upgrading them.
That's a nice word, isn't it?
He's turning around and taking his cowboy boots.
If they had cowboy boots back then, I don't think they did.
And it was giving them a good swift kick in the hind end.
Yeah.
He said, you're just babies.
How can I tell?
Well, you whine, you complain.
Well, the prayer meetings are too long.
Service is too long.
We don't get out of here until...
1201.
I love brother Igor.
Lord flows through him.
And when it's happening, let it flow.
Last fall, the first meeting that we had there
in Nova Mesto in Slovenia,
started at 9 o'clock.
We didn't get out of there until 3 p.m.
Six hours.
It wasn't all, it wasn't very little preaching.
Mostly ministry.
Six hours. People stayed.
Why?
They're hungry.
They're hungry.
They want more of God?
They want more of God?
They're not complaining about, well, you know, we're going past...
I was going to say dinner time.
I'm used to lunch time, or you're used to lunch time.
I'm used to noon meals, dinner.
But anyway, lunch time, we're going past that.
My stomach's a little bit hungry.
They didn't say a word about that.
Then we got out of there and we drove two hours back
to Ljubljana and then we had another service.
This is after an 18-hour airplane flight
and we landed on Saturday and now we're preaching on Sunday.
And we got there. The service started at 5 p.m.
We didn't get to 5.30 p.m.
and the service we got out of there at 11.30 p.m.
Two six-hour services, no complaints
that I know about.
People stayed.
That's how you can tell.
They stayed. I pray that for here.
I pray for services to go on.
I love it when they go on to one, two, three o'clock.
Presidents of God comes.
You know, we don't stay here if nothing's happening, right?
But if something's happening, we want to stay.
We want to be here.
We want to be here.
So now we got to get stirred up.
We can't be lazy.
See, what Paul was saying to them,
he said, you need milk, not solid food.
You know what he's telling them in a nice way,
a PC way, as we'd say today.
He's saying, you're babies.
You're just baby Christians.
And you've been around here for 10-some years
and you're still babies.
You ought to be teachers by now.
No, don't raise your hands. Don't look at all.
And I don't know a lot of you here,
so how many years have you been here?
You've had some fantastic teaching
by a master teacher.
I don't know. I don't know.
Personally, no, I don't know.
I know another teacher like Vern.
Good teacher.
Fantastic.
You ought to be teachers by now.
I won't go any further tonight.
I love you, Lord.
I love you guys here too.
Anyway, so what about the intercessor?
See, it's time for us to move on.
It's time for us to grow up
and to start to preach the Word of God.
Many times, see, we think that we're waiting on God for a revival.
I'll tell you something. You know this,
but I'll tell you something anyway today.
We're not waiting on God.
God's waiting on you.
God's waiting on you.
He's waiting on you to lay hands on the sick
and they shall recover.
It's up to you. You need to get up
and out of your comfort chair, you know.
Get up. Let's go. Pray for the sick.
You know, it's a good time.
You know, the first of the year,
we're always trying to, you know,
wait in my day, the old way.
They used to take, in January,
used to take audits and evaluations in companies
to see how much material you had
and how much you sold and how much we got to order.
Now, you don't do that today. You got computers.
As soon as they buy one of anything,
it comes off and they already got
a number of how many are there.
But how about us as Christians?
We need to take inventory
of what we've done over the year.
How many people have you led to the Lord?
How many people have been healed
when you prayed for him?
How many people have got the devil cast out of him?
Deliverance that you've done this last year.
Right?
They got pretty quiet there, didn't they?
Yeah, that's what we have to do.
I have to do that. I'm not just preaching to you.
I'm preaching to myself this morning.
That's what I have to do.
I have to take an evaluation and inventory.
What have I done?
What have I done the last six months, the last year?
See, and you need to do the same thing.
It makes you...
it makes you see where you're lacking, perhaps.
Right?
And where you got to get stirred up
and what to do.
Thank you, Lord.
So, no matter what age we are,
we all can pray.
Even better yet, we can intercede.
And I'm not talking about the man-be-pamby prayers
that a lot of people pray,
but I'm talking about prayers of power.
Prayers that change the spiritual atmosphere
of myself, my home, my family.
That shift the atmosphere.
If you're depressed,
pray yourself right into joy.
Pray yourself right out of that.
Commend those stinking devils
get off of you any depression
and tell them to get out, bind them up
and then start praying in the spirit
and let the joy come.
Let that presence of God come.
In the presence of God, there's fullness of...
joy.
I have to do the same thing.
I have to pray the same prayers.
Don't you think the enemy tries to depress me
from time to time?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so I got to pray.
I got to kick it off.
There's healing I'm believing for.
There's healing I'm believing for.
There's things that we go through
that a lot that we don't say.
We don't tell. We don't say everything.
Oh, I got this ache over here.
I got that. My knee is kind of hurting over here.
No, I don't say a lot to a lot of people.
So now you pray
and you bring the presence of God
into your home, into your house.
Okay, so now I'm going to share with you
a little bit about the intercessor.
Now, I want this to sink into your hearts
because as I said before,
every single one of you
can be a prayer warrior.
Every single one of you can intercede.
And you should be.
You should be interceding.
So I want like a mantle,
the mantle of intercession to come on you.
For it to get down deep on the inside of your heart.
So there's times when you are,
when you cry, when you're on your knees
and you weep for people.
Like I said before, John 16, 13,
God's going to show you people you've never seen before.
You're going to have a burden for them.
I got to smile once in a while
because I get kind of strong.
But that's what I want to happen for you today.
Today.
So when I'm saying this,
I'm hoping that you're saying,
yes, Jim, that's for me.
Yes, Jim, I can do that.
Yes, Jim, I'm going to do that.
And better yet, say yes, Lord, I will.
Yes, Lord, I will.
Yeah, I like that.
I like that. What he's saying is speaking to my heart.
What he's saying is speaking to my heart.
And now I know I got to do it.
You got to do it.
This is an invitation to you this morning.
This is an invitation to you.
How are you going to receive it?
What are you going to do with it?
Amen? Hallelujah.
All right, intercessor.
Oh, just to let you know, too.
Interesting. I wrote this on May 4th.
And I'm sitting there going,
what am I writing this for?
What am I talking about this for?
And then on May 13th, Mary texted me and said,
hey, we're going to be out of town.
Would you do the prayer service?
I go, hallelujah. I'm ready.
I got it. It's here.
Let's go. Amen.
Get on the horse and ride. Hallelujah.
Okay, here we go. Open your hearts now.
When the intercessor comes into revelation
of the God-given mantle upon their life,
everything begins to align with divine purpose.
Sometimes, you know, our lives just get, like, muddled up.
You know, it just doesn't seem like things aren't clicking,
as we would say, right?
They're just not happening.
It's not going perfectly right.
Do you know what I do?
I get in my prayer closet.
Something ain't right here.
So I get down and I start praying in the Spirit.
And then I get everything aligned.
I get it all put back in order again.
There's a peace that comes out.
There's things, and I'll tell you what,
I'm not an eloquent prayer-er.
You know why?
Because 95% of my prayers are in tongues.
95% of my prayers, I pray.
I've told you that you know my life
if you've been in any of the classes.
When I was young, I got filled with the Holy Ghost
and I went radical. I went radical.
I'd pray for two, four, eight hours a day,
and sometimes more.
In the harvest time, we'd be out in the combine
for 18 hours.
And I'd pray, pray, pray.
And then when I got tired,
I'd pray a little more.
And I'd pray, pray, pray.
Hours and hours.
And God's Spirit, the Holy Spirit,
would show up in the combine, in the tractor cab,
in my pickup.
He'd show up.
He'd speak to me. He'd talk to me.
He'd show me things to come.
I had angels show up in my tractor.
God spoke to me audibly in my tractor.
Why? How?
Because I was pressing in.
You don't get that when you just do your
Come Lord Jesus prayers.
You know? That's not when it happens.
It happens when you're deep into intercession.
Pray, weeping.
Just crying out to God.
On your knees, on standing, walking.
I love to walk and pray.
That's when it happens.
That's when it comes.
That's when His Holy Spirit comes on you.
That's when the anointing hits you.
And you know you're hearing from heaven.
And your life gets changed.
Gets put back in order.
And in line with divine purpose.
When you're an intercessor,
prayer is no longer random words.
It becomes precise.
Spirit-led.
Anchored in heaven's agenda.
You get in line.
With the agenda of heaven.
What are you going to do next Lord?
What are you going to do today Lord?
What do you want me to do?
Show me. Teach me.
Hallelujah.
And then according to Romans 8, 26 and 7.
That's the one that I went to a lot.
Romans 8, 26 and 7.
The Spirit Himself
prays
and helps our weaknesses,
our infirmities
and makes intercession
through us according to the will of God.
You know we all have personal bias.
We all have prejudice.
We all have personal likes.
And so when we pray we have to watch that.
We don't pray according to what
our solace realm feels like.
Right? Okay?
So now when you're praying in the Spirit
it says here that you're going to pray
with groanings and moanings that can't even be uttered.
You're going to pray the perfect will of God.
I like the perfect will of God.
I like to pray the perfect will of God.
I like to pray the perfect will of God.
And so that's why I prayed 95% of the time
I prayed in the Spirit.
I'd lift up so-and-so.
I'd lift up my daughters.
I'd lift up my brothers and their kids
and the church and all different things.
And I'd just start praying in the Spirit.
Just praying in the Spirit.
And God would take me places.
And God would take me places.
Anyway, that's the one to think on.
Endurance is not going to be
no longer a burden.
Oh man, I've been praying here.
What time is it? I've been praying here
for 10 minutes already.
Now, endurance is not a problem.
You get into intercession
and an hour just flies right by.
You go, where'd that time go?
Yeah, you get praying in the Spirit.
Endurance is not a problem anymore.
Galatians 6-9 says
let us not be weary and well-doing
for in due season we'll reap
if we faint not.
That means we can faint.
So he's praying for us not to faint.
What was once heavy,
a heavy burden,
now carries eternal
significance.
See, you don't pray these
Mambi-Pambi prayers.
You pray prayers that carry
eternal significance.
Think about when you're praying for people to get saved.
Do you know my go-to scripture for that?
You know that.
I shouldn't
test you like this, but
2 Corinthians what?
Hallelujah.
Yeah.
In whom the God of this world
in whom the God of this world
that's talking about the enemy,
the devil.
The God of little G-O-D.
The God of this world
has blinded
the minds of them that believe not
lest they would see the light of the glorious gospel.
Yeah. He's blinded their minds.
What is that? Deception.
He doesn't say blinded their eyes.
He said blinded their minds.
So when you pray for somebody to get
saved,
I hope you're being wise
and you're not just planting
your seed out there with no plow
in the field and making
the ground ready.
So you got to do that.
You got to pray. You got to intercede.
You got to pull off the blinders off of them
and then plant the seed
of the gospel for them.
See? And that's how you...
I find it most effective
to win souls that way.
Well, there's people you run into
during the day that you don't know about
that you don't have time to plow
the ground first and then
you just got to plant the seed and I don't understand that
but if you're praying in the Spirit
the day before and the week before
then you're preparing the ground.
Yeah. For people
you don't even know, right?
People you don't even know.
And I want to let you know too
when you are praying right there
right there, etc.
He said the Holy Spirit is
praying with you.
You're never praying alone.
You're never praying alone.
You're partnering with the Holy Spirit
in Jesus' name.
The weight you feel
is not pressure.
It's glory being formed.
That pressure.
That burden that you feel
turns into glory.
It's authority being forged.
It's your capacity being expanded.
What once felt confusing begins
to come into clarity.
The fog lifts.
When your kingdom identity is established
an alignment
with God's Word is embraced.
You need to know
your kingdom identity.
See, that's when
spiritual authority begins
with your identity.
Don't forget that.
Spiritual authority begins
with your identity, knowing
who you are in Christ.
See, intercession is a divine assignment
that requires faithfulness, sensitivity,
and obedience.
And then from this holy place of intercession
the intercessor is no longer
wrestles. Well,
why does my prayer feel like that?
Maybe it doesn't feel right online, whatever.
Now the cry becomes, Lord, how do I
steward this intercession?
How do I take
what you are giving to me?
And how do I pray
and intercede?
The shift
from burden
goes to calling.
It's not just a burden anymore.
Now it's a calling that God has on your life.
It's a mantle that God has
on your life.
The confusion
shifts to clarity. The obligation
shifts to consecration.
Now I want to share just a little
prophetic insight here with you.
I've been gone here the last couple
Sundays, so I don't know what's gone on
in all the meetings and different things.
But this is what I got back
on 04
May 4th.
There's a rising company
of intercessors
who are moving beyond
surface level prayer.
They're moving into governmental
intercession.
There's people
that God has called in this body
for what I just said.
Governmental
intercession.
This includes
spiritual and
political.
You are being trained
to stand in the
gap.
Here's a scripture for that. Ezekiel
2230.
Ladies, if you want to come up,
the ones that are going to pray, come up here
and come up behind me.
Ezekiel 2230 says
I sought for a man among
them that should make up the
heads and stand in the
gap before me in the land
that I should not destroy it.
That's what he's called us to do.
To stand in the gap.
To pray, to intercede
for people we've never met.
For people we don't know.
For people all around here.
All around this area.
You can go right up there by that and just
get next.
Get ready.
And
I'd like all three of you to come.
All three of you to come. Get ready.
Now he's called us
to intercede.
That's part of the mantle. That's part of our calling.
He's called us for that.
And as the intercessors
intercede, so goes the nation.
See, a lot of the things that are
happening in this nation and in this
state is because the churches
didn't rise up to the level that
God wanted us to preach and teach
and keep that righteousness
of God here.
It's partly our fault.
It's partly our fault.
Did you hear that?
So now what we got to do, we got to reverse
that. We got to turn it around
and we got to start to intercede
like warriors.
Like warriors intercede
in Jesus name.
As intercessors we are to
legislate in the spirit
and partner with heaven to see
God's established in the earth.
To see his
kingdom established.
When he sent out the 12 and the 70
he said preach the kingdom of God.
Let him know the kingdom of God
is here. That's what we got to do.
That's what we got to do.
Don't draw back.
Hebrews says that if you draw back
the Lord takes no pleasure in you.
Doesn't make him happy.
He's not happy. He's not content.
When you draw back, it's kind
of like one of your kids drawing back.
You're just sitting there going, oh man,
I wish they'd really step up to that.
You know, I know they can do it,
but they're not. So don't draw
back. The very tension you
have felt has been preparation.
The very stretching has been positioning.
See, you're not carrying something
heavy. You're carrying
something holy. Amen?
Thank you, Lord.
Stay in the place of prayer.
Remain red fast.
Steadfast.
Continue in prayer.
Your consistency
builds altars.
But there's so much here I could share
on, but I can't. I just got to read it
and let it stick.
Your obedience is shifting atmospheres.
Your prayers are not
falling to the ground.
They're accumulating before
the throne of God and moving
heaven on behalf of
earth. Amen.
The Lord allowed me to see one time
up into heaven, and he
pulled back a curtain for me to look.
And I saw into this one room, this one place.
I've shared this a little bit
in the teaching times I've had.
So you might have heard this before.
But I saw in this curtain
there was like a room, a giant
room that was just stretched out
at least 100 yards this way
and as far as I could see down that way.
And it all had glass
hollow figurines
in it.
And it was like angels.
And they were down
like this on one knee and
their head bowed like this.
And it was hollow glass
you could see through it.
And the Lord just told me watch.
And all of a sudden there was a smoke.
There was like a glory cloud that came
up from the earth. And it came
and it started to go in each of these
individual figurines.
And it would go up and some of it would go
up quick and fast. Some took time
and it was slow. Some got
filled fast.
And then some got up to a certain level
a third, fourth or half
and then they stopped.
And then maybe later on
they filled up again
and maybe later on they didn't.
They just remained half full.
What was this? What is this?
This is the prayers of the saints he said.
This is the prayers of the saints
that are coming up from the earth.
It's like a sweet smelling incense
that's coming before the throne of God.
See that's what your prayers do.
That's where you
where you intercede
and the anointing of heaven comes on you
and you start to pray it through.
And then whatever the
purpose and plan that you're praying for
starts to fill up that angel,
that figurine that's there. Then when they got
totally full, I saw them.
It's like a trap door went out and
boom, down they went.
So I was curious. I go, I wonder where they're
going. So I went over there and I peeked
down and I saw them
spiraling down like smoke.
You know, going
down, down, down, down, down and down to earth.
I could see earth way down.
The prayers are going to be
accomplished. The angels are coming.
So don't be
weary and well-doing. Don't faint not.
Keep on praying.
Keep on praying until
that incense
is full in that figurine.
And then the angels can come and accomplish
what you've been praying for all that time.
Amen. Don't give up.
Don't give up.
Your prayers are not falling to the ground.
They're accumulating before the throne of God.
Step fully into it.
Steward it well
and watch the purposes of God
unfold through your intercession.
Here we go, sister.
Let them have it.
Oh, that would help.
I have a confession to make to you.
I added a couple of things here that
I just can't pray this without
adding. Go ahead.
Let them climb.
Heavenly Father.
Heavenly Father.
We lived up to you
every watchman.
Every intercessor
and every believer
in Christ
before you today.
We lived up their households as well.
We thank you, Father,
for the family unit.
We include those who fight
on the spiritual battlefield
and those who
wage unseen battles
in prayer and faith.
Cover us,
O Lord God, with your mighty hand.
Let your angels
encamp round about us
as a hedge of
preservation,
protection,
prevention, provision.
Guard our steps,
shield us
from harm.
I remind you of the covenant, O God,
that we have
with you, signed,
sealed, ratified
in the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
I thank you and I praise you.
Strengthen our hearts.
When fear whispers
and renew our minds with
your truth,
when doubt tries to take hold,
just as Jesus said to the enemy,
it is written.
It is written.
It is written.
Grant us wisdom
to discern the right path.
Lead us as we go.
Courage to stand firm in the face
of adversity.
Praise you, Lord.
Thank you, Lord.
We know that you are our refuge.
We are never alone.
This room is filled right now.
Lord God.
With angels of protection.
I thank you, Father.
We are never alone because you go before us.
You are the way,
the truth in the life, Lord Jesus.
You stand beside us.
You watch over us always.
That I might know
him in the power
of his resurrection.
But then it says,
and the fellowship of his suffering
for lost souls,
the crying out.
Because you would have not one lost, Lord.
Not a one.
Some have no one.
That's why we have the privilege
of standing in that place.
In the name of Jesus,
we declare victory.
Protection, peace over our lives.
And Father,
one thing have I desired
of the Lord and that will I seek
after.
Not only that I may dwell in the house
of the Lord,
but that I can seek first
your kingdom,
your righteousness,
and your way of doing.
And that I might honor Jesus Christ
and be obedient
to your word and will.
In Jesus' name.
Amen.
Thank you, Lord.
Thank you, my sister.
Oh, thank you.
Come on over here.
That's fine.
Yes, Heavenly Father,
we come before you in faith
lifting up all people
from our church, region,
state, nation,
and especially those
who are engaged in the governmental realm
and the pastors
and leaders who stand in the
spiritual realm.
Your word says,
the Lord is my strength
and my shield.
My heart trusts in him
and he helps me.
Psalms 287,
today we declare
that truth over our lives,
Lord, clothe us in the
full armor of God,
the belt of truth,
the breastplate of righteousness,
the shoes of the gospel
of peace, the shield of faith,
the helmet of salvation
and the sword of the Spirit
when fear tries
to creep in, remind us
that God has not
given us a spirit of
fear, but of power,
love, and a
sound mind.
When the battle feels overwhelming,
whisper to our hearts
be strong
and courageous, for the Lord
your God will be with you
wherever you go.
Joshua 1.9
Surround us, Lord, with your angels
as it is written,
he will command his angels
concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
Let your hands
be steady, your minds
clear, and our hearts
anchored in your promises.
Lord, we intercede for
our families, cover them
in peace, provision, and
protection. Let them rest
in the insurance that the
Lord will fight for
you. You only
need to be still.
Exodus 14
14. And Father
we declare victory
in every battle, strength
in every trial,
and joy in every season.
May we as people of God
rise each day,
knowing we are chosen,
equipped, and never alone
in the mighty name of Jesus
we pray. Amen.
Here's Romans 826
in fact, thrown in
in the spirit.
Thank you, Lord.
Thank you, Lord.
Words that can't be
uttered.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thank you, Lord.
Thank you Lord.
Thank you Lord.
Thank you Lord.
Thank you Lord.
Thank you Lord.
Father, we lift up every watchman, intercessor, and believer in Christ in your mighty hands.
All 911 through 12 assures us that you will command your angels to protect us from harm,
shield us in times of danger, and surround us with your divine presence.
Father, teach us to abide under the shadow of your wings.
May no weapon formed against us prosper for your word promises victory.
Let us become more aware God of the victory that is in Jesus.
Let it become more evident in our hearts and our minds, God.
Strengthen our bodies and our minds and our spirits, God, as we endure the trials that we face.
God grant us the courage to stand firm in the face of adversity.
As Joshua 1-9 reminds us, let us be strong and courageous, knowing that you are with us wherever we go.
With endurance, resolve and unwavering faith so that we may confront every challenge with bravery and trust in your guidance.
You alone are our source.
Almighty God, guide our decisions.
May we seek your wisdom in every action.
Remembering Proverbs 3-5-6 to just you with all of our hearts.
Lead us on paths that honor you.
And grant discernment to act with integrity, justice and humility, reflecting your righteousness in both victory and restraint.
And God move our hearts to love like you love.
And to embody your very nature in love, to be moved with compassion.
Father, restore our souls and grant us peace and protection.
As Philippians 4-7 promises, let your peace guard our hearts and our minds.
Comfort us in moments of fear, anxiety or grief, renewing our spirits so that we may remain strong in you.
Lord, we thank you for your protection, your guidance and your steadfast love.
Oh, your love never fails.
May every believer in Christ acknowledge your sovereignty, celebrate the triumphs that you provide,
and remain faithful in service to you.
As Psalm 1441 declares,
bless those who prepare for battle and equip us with strength and skill for your glory in Jesus' name.
