ABBA

For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!" The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.  Romans 8:15-17

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace which He lavished on us. In all wisdom and insight He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will, to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of His glory. Eph. 1:3-12

Father, we thank You for adopting us into Your family, taking us up as Your sons and daughters, calling us by Your Name. We are eternally thankful that You chose us to be Your People.

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; for you once were not a people, but now you are the People of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.1 Peter 2:9-10

ANCIENT OF DAYS

I kept looking until thrones were set up, and the Ancient of Days took His seat; His vesture was like white snow and the hair of His head like pure wool. His throne was ablaze with flames; its wheels were a burning fire. A river of fire was flowing and coming out from before Him; thousands upon thousands were attending Him, and myriads upon myriads were standing before Him; the court sat, and the books were opened. Daniel 7:9-10

I kept looking, and that horn was waging war with the saints and overpowering them until the Ancient of Days came and judgment was passed in favor of the saints of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the saints took possession of the kingdom.  Daniel 7:21-22

We welcome You, Ancient of Days, into our communities and our nations to rule and reign in power.

BUILDER

For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. Hebrews 3:4

And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of Thy hands. Hebrews 1:10

The heavens are telling of the glory of God; and their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. Psalm 19:1-2

O Faithful Builder, we thank You for building all things well. We ask You to help us to build rightly while living on this earth so what we build would have everlasting value.

CONSUMING FIRE

For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.  Deuteronomy 4:24

Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire. Hebrews 12:28-29

For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man builds upon the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each man’s work will become evident; for the day will show it, because it is to be revealed with fire; and the fire itself will test the quality of each man’s work. If any man’s work which he has built upon it remains, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as through fire. 1 Corinthians 3:11-15

All Consuming Fire, we pray for You to consume everything in us that is not of You, so that we may be holy, living sacrifices useful unto service for the furthering of Your Kingdom. We pray for You to purify our hearts that we might see You and truly know You. Purify our ears, that we might hear You concisely. Purify our eyes, so we might see You clearly. Purify our hearts so that we might serve You rightly; giving You all the glory, honor and praise for You alone are worthy.

CREATOR

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly, yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary. Isaiah 40:28-31

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10

Creator of the Universe, we worship You alone. May You be glorified through us that we might live and move and have our being in You.

DELIVERER

The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies. Psalm 18:2-3

The Lord helps them and delivers them; He delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in Him. Psalm 37:40

O Lord, You are our Deliverer, in You we trust.

GOD ALMIGHTY, the MIGHTY ONE

Now when Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty; walk before Me, and be blameless. And I will establish My covenant between Me and you, and I will multiply you exceedingly.” And Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him. Genesis 17:1-3

God spoke further to Moses and said to him, “I am the Lord; and I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God Almighty, but by name, Lord I did not make Myself known to them. Exodus 6:2-3

The Mighty One, God, the Lord, the Mighty One, God, the Lord! Joshua 22:22a

The Mighty One, God, the Lord, has spoken, and summoned the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting. Psalm 50:1

The heavens are telling of the glory of God; and their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. Psalm 19:1-2

God Almighty, the Mighty One, we ask You to open our ears to hear Your still small voice. Even now, You are speaking to us. You continually reveal Yourself, declaring the works of Your hands, giving us wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Give us ears to hear, O Mighty God, for we are Your People who are called by Your Name.

I AM

God said to Moses, “I AM who I AM”; and He said, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” Exodus 3:14

Oh, Great I AM, we welcome you in our homes, in our churches, in our communities, in our countries, in our very lives.

JEALOUS

For you shall not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous is a jealous God. Genesis 34:14

As You are jealous for all our heart, all our soul, all our devotion and worship, we bow before You, committing our hearts afresh to You, our first love.

POTTER

Woe to the one who quarrels with his Maker-- An earthenware vessel among the vessels of earth! Will the clay say to the Potter, ‘What are you doing?’ Or the thing you are making say, ‘He has no hands’? Thus says the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: “Ask Me about the things to come concerning My sons, and you shall commit to Me the work of My hands. It is I who made the earth, and created man upon it. I stretched out the heavens with My hands and I ordained all their host”. Isaiah 45:9-12

But now, O Lord, Thou art our Father, we are the clay, and Thou our Potter; and all of us are the work of Thy hand. Isaiah 64:8

We ask You to make us into vessels of honor for Your Name’s sake that we might be useful unto service for Your Kingdom.

RIGHTEOUS JUDGE

And the heavens declare His righteousness, for God Himself is judge. Psalm 50:6

Before the Lord, for He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in His faithfulness. Psalms 96:13

But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect. Hebrews 12:22-23

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7-8

Oh Righteous Judge, we enter Your gates with thanksgiving, and Your courts with praise. We cry out for justice today! We cry out for the weak and the weary. We cry out for the orphan and the widow. We cry out for those in prison, labor camps, refugee camps and those persecuted for Your Names’ sake. We cry out for salvation of the lost, deliverance for the addicted, healing for the sick.

We cry out for voices of Truth in every arena of our society: In ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT, we cry out for purity, cleansing, and a releasing of creativity upon those who fear Your Name. In BUSINESS, we cry out for inventiveness, for just practices, for favor on Your Peoples products. We ask for them to attain all the resources they need to accomplish the task before them. We ask for your blessing and favor to be upon their business, their employees and their products. We ask that every weapon formed against them would not stand. In the CHURCH, we cry out for purity, wholeness; for the apostles to go forth in anointing to break open new ground; for prophets to speak in purity, in love, in a right spirit, yet boldly, fearing only You and not man; for evangelists to have every provision for their labors, divine connections with those who are hungry and thirsty, to have blessed feet, a bag that does not wear out, good health, and favor with all they meet; for the teachers to dig for nuggets of Truth in Your Word and faithfully spend time with You, so that they might reveal to the Body of Christ more of Yourself so that the Body might grow in maturity and bear fruit that remains; for pastors to love You, Your Word and Your People, walking compassionately, yet strongly as a father that the Body of Christ might grow from infancy to mature men and women in Christ Jesus our Lord. In EDUCATION, we cry out for a blessing of peace, a hedge of safety, a teaching of those things which are good, honorable, true, right and pure. We cry for students to hunger and thirst for righteousness, Truth, liberty and holiness. We cry out for teachers to be filled afresh with Your Holy Spirit, enabling them to love, teach and impart principles of Truth to their students. We cry out for principals, superintendants, and administrators to walk in just weights, to experience Your grace, to have understanding in the decisions they are making and for Your wisdom to be imparted to them. In the FAMILY, we cry out for men to lead their households in holiness, with pure hands and pure hearts, handling accurately Your Words of Truth. For men to seek You, know You, and to make You known. To pray without ceasing, to love You with all their hearts, souls, minds and strength. To love their families, demonstrating that love practically and with wisdom. For women, we pray for godliness with contentment. Loving you with a holy, burning fire in our bosoms for You are worthy of all of our hearts devotion, our souls, our minds and our strength. We give you all praise, honor and glory for You alone are worthy! We cry out for You to make us honorable vessels, useful unto service for Your Names’ sake and for Your Kingdom. We cry out for You to love through us in such a way that others see only You in us. We cry out for healing for those who have been wrongly injured in their spirit, soul or body; we ask for women to know and walk in wholeness as You paid the price with Your Blood. For children, we cry out for a hunger and thirst for righteousness and for You the Righteous One. We cry out for innocence, purity, a hedge of protection. We cry out for creativity, favor, a release in worship, a release in business, a release in the arts. We cry out for eyes to see You in the Spirit realm, for ears to hear Your still small voice, for hearts of understanding. We cry out for families to seek You together, for restoration of the family altar. We cry out for reconciliation between the generations, between the young and the old, the weak and the strong. In GOVERNMENT, we cry out for just laws, just decisions in our courts and for just leaders. We cry out for our leaders to be surrounded with counselors of wisdom, to have Your counsel in the matters before them. May they fear You alone and remember that You will hold them accountable for their stewardship. Thank you for strongly supporting those whose hearts are completely Yours. In MEDIA, we cry out for purity in print, for cleansing of the air waves, for voices of Truth. We ask for Righteousness to prevail over wickedness, for Truth to prevail over falsehood, deceit, slander and lies. We cry out for voices of Truth to speak clearly, concisely and wisely. We cry out for ears to hear what the Spirit of Truth is saying, for followers of Truth, for workers of Truth that our society would reflect Your principles of Truth in every area.

O Righteous Judge, we cry out for Your justice upon the earth. Let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Let Your glory shine in all the earth. The land cries out for justice. The innocent cry out for justice. Your People cry out for justice. Forgive us where we have turned from Your just ways towards corruption, lust, power, greed and iniquity. We invite you to cleanse, heal and restore our land. We invite you to give us new hearts, full of understanding and purity, sound minds which are steadfast in You and a sincere faith. We invite You to dwell among Your People. Where You are, You draw all men to Yourself. We invite You to glorify Your Name in our midst. We invite You to be Yourself and allow us to behold the salvation of God in our midst.

God

The

Son

ADVOCATE, MEDIATOR, INTERCESSOR

My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world. 1 John 2:1-2

For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. 1Timothy 2:5

But He, on the other hand, because He abides forever, holds His priesthood permanently. Hence, also, He is able to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. Hebrews 7:24-25

We thank You, Jesus, for being our Advocate, our defender; for being our mediator, the One who bridges the great divide; for interceding, standing in the gap for us, making a way where none previously existed.

ALPHA and OMEGA

"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." Revelation 1:8

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. Revelation 22:13

Alpha -The first letter in the Greek alphabet, and used to denote first or beginning. Omega - The name of the last letter of the Greek alphabet. Hence in Scripture, Alpha and Omega denotes the first and last, the beginning and the ending. {Noah Webster 1828}

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. John 1:1-2

Alpha and Omega, we thank You for beginning a good work in us. We invite You to finish us in Christ Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit, causing our lives to be a holy, living offering acceptable to You for service and for worship.

ANOINTED ONE

And Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about Him spread through all the surrounding district. And He began teaching in their synagogues and was praised by all. And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read. And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. And He opened the book and found the place where it was written, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who are oppressed, to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.” And He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” Luke 4:14-21 referring to Isaiah 61:1-3

Anointed One, we thank you for humbling Yourself as a man, preaching the Gospel, releasing the captives, healing the lame, freeing the oppressed and proclaiming liberty. You are the Anointed One; we humble ourselves before You and worship You.

AUTHOR

Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin; and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons, “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by Him, for those whom the Lord loves He disciplines, and He scourges every son whom He receives.” Hebrews 12:1-6

Author and Finisher of our faith, we invite You to conform us into Your image that others might behold You in all Your glory, majesty and strength.

DOOR and GOOD SHEPHERD

Jesus therefore said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. He who is a hireling, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, beholds the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees, and the wolf snatches them, and scatters them. He flees because he is a hireling, and is not concerned about the sheep. I am the good shepherd; and I know My own, and My own know Me, even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. And I have other sheep which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they shall hear My voice; and they shall become one flock with one shepherd. For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.” John 10:7-18

He who enters by the door is a shepherd of the sheep. John 10:2

Jesus, we thank You for being the door and the good shepherd. We thank You for laying down your life for us. Thank You for calling, leading, guiding and giving us abundant life.

HIGH PRIEST

Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession; He was faithful to Him who appointed Him. Hebrews 3:1-2a

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.  Hebrews 4:14

So also Christ did not glorify Himself so as to become a high priest, but He who said to Him, “You are My son, today, I have begotten You”; just as He says also in another passage, “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek” Hebrews 5:5-6

For when God made the promise to Abraham, since He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, saying, "I WILL SURELY BLESS YOU AND I WILL SURELY MULTIPLY YOU." And so, having patiently waited, he obtained the promise. For men swear by one greater than themselves, and with them an oath given as confirmation is an end of every dispute. In the same way God, desiring even more to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose, interposed with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us. This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil, where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.  Hebrews 6:13-20

Great High Priest, we thank you for tearing the veil which separated us, for canceling the debt of sin against us, for stopping hostility by disarming the rulers and authorities, stopping the world forces of darkness and spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly realm. You have triumphed over our enemies and made a public spectacle of them. Great High Priest, we thank You for making a way for us before the Father.

JESUS CHRIST

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

Therefore God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:9-11

And from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first-born of the dead, and the ruler of all kings of the earth. To Him who loves us, and released us from our sins by His blood, and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father; to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. Revelation 1:5-6

For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with Him. 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10

Jesus, You are the One who paid the price for our sins by dying on the Cross. We confess You are Christ the Lord and we receive Your gift of love, Your gift of salvation.

KING and LORD

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; He is just and endowed with salvation, humble, and mounted on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey. Zechariah 9:9

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. 1Timothy 1:17

I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate, that you keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which He will bring about at the proper time – He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords; who alone possesses immortality and dwells in inapproachable light; whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen. 1Timothy 6:13-16

I am the Lord, that is My name; I will not give My glory to another, nor My praise to graven images. Isaiah 42:8

The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is His name. Exodus 15:3

Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle; my lovingkindness and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer; my shield and He in whom I take refuge. Ps 144:1-2

And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, “King of kings, and Lord of lords.” Revelation 19:16

O King of all kings and Lord of all the lords, we worship, praise and adore You! We exalt You, King and Lord over the entire universe.

PRINCE of PEACE

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6

And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7

Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful. John 14:27

For He Himself is our peace. Ephesians 2:14a

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage, I have overcome the world. John 16:33

And the God of Peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. Romans 16:20

Jesus, we thank you for taking away all our fears and giving us peace. It is Your peace which guards our hearts and minds. It is Your peace in which we dwell, causing our hearts to delight and rejoice in who You are and in all you have done.

ROOT, BRANCH, VINE

I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things for the church. I am the root and offspring of David, the bright Morning Star. Revelation 22:16

And one of the elders said to me, “Stop weeping; behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to open the book and its seven seals.” Revelation 5:5

For behold, I am going to bring in My Servant the Branch. Zechariah 3:8e

Then say to him, “Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘Behold, a man whose name is Branch, for he will branch out from where He is; and He will build the temple of the Lord.’” Zechariah 6:12

“Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord, “When I shall raise up for David a righteous Branch; and He will reign as king and act wisely and do justice and righteousness in the land. Jeremiah 23:5

In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch of David to spring forth; and He shall execute justice and righteousness on the earth. Jeremiah 33:15

I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. John 15:1

I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing. John 15:5

Thank You for being the Root of David and the Righteous Branch! Thank you for executing justice and righteousness on the earth.

Jesus, You are the vine, our source of life and apart from You we cannot bear fruit. We want to bear fruit one hundred fold and we want our fruit to remain.

SAVIOR

And she shall bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for it is He who will save His people from their sins. Matthew 1:21

For today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:11

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service; even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. And yet I was shown mercy, because I acted ignorantly in unbelief; and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus. It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all. 1Timothy 1:12-15

This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony borne at the proper time. 1Timothy 2:3-6

But the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that being justified by His grace we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:4-7

Jesus our Savior, we cry out for those who do not know You. We cry out for the eyes of their heart to be opened that they might behold You as Savior and Lord. We cry out for individuals, for whole families, for villages, for towns, for large cities, for islands, for those who live in the jungles to find You as Savior. We cry out for the young and the old, the rich and the poor, the ignorant and the well-educated, yes, for every people, tongue, tribe and nation to know You as Savior and as Lord.

SON of GOD

And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb, and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever; and His kingdom will have no end.” And Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I am a virgin?” And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy offspring shall be called the Son of God.” Luke 1:30-35

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Mark 1:1

And I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God. John 1:34

Now the centurion, and those who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were happening, became very frightened and said, “Truly this was the Son of God!” Matthew 27:54

And to the angel of the church of Thyatira write: The Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet are like burnished bronze. Revelation 2:18

You are the Son of God! We worship and adore You! Knowing You are enthroned on the praises of Your people, we lift You up! We exalt, honor and glorify Your name. We welcome You to rule and reign over all the earth.

The WAY, the TRUTH, the LIFE

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me. John 14:6

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me shall live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me shall never die. John 11:25

Jesus, we run to You who are the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE for there is life in no one else but You. We embrace You. Thank you for giving us a reason for living.

WORD and LIGHT

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being by Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. John 1:1-5

And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14

And He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood; and His name is called The Word of God. Revelation 19:13

Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” John 8:12

While I am in the world, I am the light of the world. John 9:5

We embrace You, the Living Word, the Light of the world! There is none other like You in heaven or on earth! We cry out for Your light to penetrate the darkness that those who live in darkness will see Your great light. We cry out for eyes to behold the light of Your salvation, for ears to hear Your Words of Truth, for hearts of understanding. We cry out for blind eyes to be opened, deaf ears to hear, lame legs to walk, for the dead to be raised in Jesus Name. You are the Living Word; You are able to do miracles, so we cry out for chains to be broken and the captives to be set free.

God

The

Holy Spirit

BEARER of GOOD FRUIT

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23

We ask You to help us bear the fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control that others might know who You are because they see You in us.

BESTOWER of GIFTS

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:4

And since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let each exercise them accordingly: if prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith; if service, in his serving; or he who teaches, in his teaching; or he who exhorts, in his exhortations; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. Romans 12:6-8

Thank you for giving us gifts and the grace to use them, so we might help the Body of Christ and those who don’t know You, experience You as they see Your gifts used through us.

CONVICTER of SIN

And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin, and righteousness and judgment; concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me; concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you no longer behold Me; and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. John 16:8-11

We ask You to expose any unbelief in us that we might repent and walk in faith.

DIRECTOR OVER MINISTRIES

And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. 1 Corinthians 12:5

And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues. 1 Corinthians 12:28

And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. Ephesians 4:11-13

Thank You for using your apostles to break forth new regions. Thank You for your prophets who speak Your words of life in love and boldness. Thank You for Your evangelist who share the Your Words of Life faithfully. Thank You for Your pastors who have compassion on the sheep and gently lead them as faithful shepherds; lovingly caring for them as a father when they tend their wounds and correct their behavior. Thank You for Your teachers as they diligently search for nuggets of Truth, then faithfully use the Truth to instruct others that we might all grow into maturity. Thank You for those who administrate with excellence and for those who help behind the scenes. May they do all things unto You knowing You will reward them for their faithful service. We honor them for their faithful and sacrificial service to You and on our behalf. We ask You to strengthen them so they might not grow weary in well doing. Thank You for those who walk in miracles and healings so infirmity and disease are pushed back and so liberty is manifest completely in the physical body. Thank You for using tongues to speak and pray forth the things of God.

EFFECTER, ACTIVATOR, MANIFESTER

And there are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills. 1 Corinthians 12:6-11

We ask you to activate the variety of effects You have given the Body of Christ in order for Your manifest expression to be seen on the earth and that mankind might be helped.

EMPOWERER OVER SIN

So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh—for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body you will live. For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Romans 8:12-14

For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace. Romans 8:5-6

But I say, walk by the spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. Galatians 5:16

If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another. Galatians 5:25-26

Clothe us with Your: compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forbearance, forgiveness and love that we might dwell together in unity. Help us to walk in: diligence, faith, moral excellence, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness and love that we might be useful and fruitful for You. (Prayer references Col. 3:12-14 and 2 Peter 1:5-8)

HELPER, SPIRIT of TRUTH

And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him, but you know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you, and will be in you. John 14:16-17

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. John 14:26

When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, He will bear witness of Me, and you will bear witness also, because you have been with Me from the beginning. John 15:26-27

But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper shall not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. John 16:7

But when the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. John 16:13

Holy Spirit, we invite You to teach and instruct us in the way of Truth. Guide and lead us; disclosing the path before us; keeping us from stumbling, straying or following the tempter. Thank you for helping us to know the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.

INTERCESSOR

And in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groaning too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 8:26-27

Thank You for praying forth the will of God in our lives, our families, our churches, our communities, our country and this world.

SPIRIT of ADOPTION

For if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God. For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. Romans 8:13-16

Thank You for adopting us as sons and daughters! Thank You for making us joint heirs with Christ!

SPIRIT of the LORD

And the Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. Isaiah 11:2

Thank You for sending Your Spirit on Jesus. Thank You for sending Your Spirit so we can walk in Your wisdom, understanding, counsel, knowledge and strength. May we know, understand and walk in the fear of the Lord for You are worthy of honor, reverence and glory.

THE ONE GIVEN

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him! Matthew 7:11

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him? Luke 11:13

Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has poured forth this which you both see and hear. And Peter said to them, “Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:33, 38

Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. Romans 5:1-5

We ask You to fill us afresh with Your Holy Spirit, empowering us to be Your witnesses in all the earth.
