Prayer Points for Week of January 25

PRAYER POINTS FOR THE WEEK OF JANUARY 25, 2009

Phil 4:12-13 “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.”

Celebrate this week what God has already given you. Pray we would be a church that remembers God’s blessings and rejoices in what He has done. Pray that we would look at what we have and not what we lack and be willing to change our attitudes and our heart.

Pray that we would make a conscious decision to be content in every situation and know that we can do all things through him who gives us strength. Pray also that we would use wisely what God has already given us so that we are ready to receive the next blessing.

Mark 16:20 “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.”…. “Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.”

Pray that we would allow God to use us and that the Great Commission would be at work through Calvary Church. Pray that we would be witnesses, missionaries and intercessors so that the kingdom of God would be advanced. Pray we would see the oppressed delivered, the sick healed, marriages restored and people filled with the Holy Spirit.

Malachi 3:1-4; 16-18

Pray that we would allow God’s refining fire to purify us. Pray we would return to him and not be moved or fearful of the trials before us but embrace them as opportunities to experience the goodness and faithfulness of God in our lives.

Pray that we would get ready for God to come; that we would take God at his word and follow Him. Pray that Calvary Church would be a church that honors and respects God in our actions and our attitudes so that the God of goodness and holiness will “rise with healing in its wings”. (Malachi 4:2)

Ask God to do His will among us not only for His goodness but that His righteousness and holiness would come and change us. Pray that God would do a transforming work of righteousness in all of our lives that we might glorify his name and that the world might see we are different.

Pray that we would get back to right relationships in our families and begin to treat each other with respect and value. Fight against the lies and deception of the enemy and for the restoration and salvation of our loved ones and our marriages. Intercede for the fathers and the sons, mothers and daughters. Guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith. (Mal 2:16)

Pray that we would hear the word of the Lord with regard to tithing and not become offended. Pray also that we would be reminded daily that God is our source for all we need and the giver of good gifts.

Pray that we would dare to honor God with the tithe and not bow to fear. Pray for each person who committed to trust God for the next 6 months and to honor Him with a lifestyle of giving as an act of worship.

Pray that as we honor God we would begin to see the supernatural at work in our circumstances and the ministry of the church increased.


IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS, AMEN!
