Good morning and Blessings to you!

PRAYER POINTS FOR TODAY:

1. Pray that God will give you the grace to rest in His peace and His Word so you would remain unmovable, unshakable, fully grounded in His love toward everyone around you.

¹⁵And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. ¹⁶Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Colossians 3:15–16

¹⁰Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. ¹¹Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. ¹²For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. ¹³Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. ¹⁴Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; ¹⁶above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. ¹⁷And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; ¹⁸praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— Ephesians 6:10–18

2. Pray that in all you do or say, your plans, pursuit, desire, agenda will be with the right motive, centered on Jesus.

And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. Colossians 3:17

3. Pray that every good work the Lord has started in your life will remain permanent. The enemy cannot take it from you.

The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it. Proverbs 10:22

4. Pray that you will remain connected to the grace and message of your man of God and that you will be a committed servant of the Lord, serving faithfully in His vineyard.

²Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. ³You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. ⁴Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. ⁵“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. John 15:2–5

5. Pray that you will remain focused on the Lord and to discern the times we are in and the move of the spirit so you will be part of what God is doing in this end time. You will not be a spectator but a participator of the move of God.

¹⁵See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, ¹⁶redeeming the time, because the days are evil. ¹⁷Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. ¹⁸And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit. Ephesians 5:15–18

6. Pray that the breath of God will rest upon your plans and desires for the remaining part of the year 2024. It will be established and prosper by the power of the Holy Spirit.

¹The preparations of the heart belong to man, But the answer of the tongue is from the Lord. ²All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the spirits. ³Commit your works to the Lord, And your thoughts will be established. ⁴The Lord has made all for Himself, Yes, even the wicked for the day of doom. ⁵Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord; Though they join forces, none will go unpunished. ⁶In mercy and truth Atonement is provided for iniquity; And by the fear of the Lord one departs from evil. ⁷When a man’s ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. ⁸Better is a little with righteousness, Than vast revenues without justice. ⁹A man’s heart plans his way,
But the Lord directs his steps. Proverbs 16:1-9

7. Pray for every member of your household that they all will be saved and come to the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Call them by their names.

And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15

Here am I and the children whom the Lord has given me! We are for signs and wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, Who dwells in Mount Zion. Isaiah 8:18

8. Pray that Spirit Temple Bible College will flourish and be indeed a training ground for the Lord’s end time army. Every student that goes through that college will remain empowered and bold to be an instrument in God’s hands.

The Lord gives voice before His army, For His camp is very great; For strong is the One who executes His word. For the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; Who can endure it? Joel 2:11

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15

9. Pray for the children of destiny that the breath of God and the hand of the Lord will rest upon them. That the word they hear and the manifestation of the power of God they see in the house will make an impact in their lives. Each child will encounter the Holy Spirit in a remarkable and life transforming way.

But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” Mathew 19:14

¹⁴But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, ¹⁵and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 3:14–15

10. Pray that God will send men and women into the college to get trained and prepared for the task ahead. Pray that the Lord will announce the school to the world by His supernatural power.

This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. Luke 10:2

11. Pray that your life will continue to soar like an eagle even after this period of waiting upon the Lord. That you will remain fully alert in the spirit and sensitive to His voice and leading.

But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 30:31

Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 1 Peter 1:13

The oil of gladness and garment of praise is your portion as you continue waiting upon the Lord.
