Equipping Ministry Intercession Ideas, October 2023 Part D

(See the three previous posts. Also see downloadable Equipping Ministry Prayer Guide; Praying Through the Gifts at Your Church:  A Spiritual Gifts Prayer Guide; and Equipping Prayer Guide—Praying Scripture for Your Congregation)

Pray that [insert church/group name] would know the Lord’s Healing Presence…that we would come to know God, experience Him, believe in Him, abide in Him, and allow ourselves to be restored and transformed by His love in such a way that that loved-ness spills over into action: loving God back, loving ourselves, and loving our neighbors in Jesus’ Name.

Pray that we at [insert church/group name] would cooperate with the Holy Spirit: Romans 5:5 tells us that “God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.”

Pray, as Jesus in John 15 teaches us, that we would believe that we are loved, that we need to abide in Jesus, that we are to love one another, that we are to bear much fruit—lasting fruit…and, as a result we will experience complete joy in Jesus.

Pray that [insert church/group name] would experience and bask in God’s unfailing love which...leads, redeems, and delivers us; provides refuge and strength; watches over, rescues, and saves us; causes us to rejoice; God’s unfailing love enables us to not be shaken; is a source of hope for us; is great, priceless, and trustworthy; God’s unfailing love derives from God’s mercy and compassion; satisfies, comforts, preserves, and comes to us; supports us when we are “slipping,” causes us to be thankful, God’s unfailing love is intertwined with God’s complete faithfulness, and God’s unfailing love produces fruit.
