We run a risk, I would think, if we start off this New Year praying for matters of the world, our nation and it’s affairs – we might just miss what the Lord is in fact doing!? Howbeit, I will admit, a large portion of me wants to rattle off a prayer list for all the wonderful things happening in our nation’s capital for the saving of America! And yet, the Spirit within me is Jealous, I can feel it…
Having said that I was surprised by how little I felt like celebrating after we won the election. Since the election, I haven’t much felt like celebrating but instead taking a deep breath and resting. It has really been an intense 5-6 years for me and my family. It has been nice to know we have fought and won for ourselves a reprieve. And the question that remains, “What will the Church do with this hard-fought season, when the wind is finally at our backs and filling up our sails!?”
Jesus said, “And, Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” He implored us to not store up for ourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust does corrupt. So The Work, must be a heavenly and eternal work. What we labor after, must be something altogether different than merely the things of this world. Having said that it’s good to pray for our rulers, Paul wrote, “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.”
If we do not win this generation to Christ, I fear the nation is lost irregardless of what happens in Washington DC.
Prayer Points 1st Quarter 2025
Pray for this Generation – the millennials, the youth, the Gen-Z’ers and younger. Pray that they humble themselves, quiet themselves and come to the Living God of All Creation! The God of Truth. To their Father, to The One who loves them.
Pray for not only Revival but Reformation. Christianity at large has seemed to have been removed from its foundations. It’s being built on something but it is not the message given to us by the Apostles of the Lamb. Pray for a Great Movement back to holiness, purity, right-living, truth and the love of God.
Pray that the Lord keeps us out of war. There are so many ways another World War can still break out. President Trump and his team are negotiating not only the future of the free-world but moreso the immediate future, whether it will bring peace or war.
The Word of God, time and again, practically commands us to pray for the Peace of Jerusalem! Pray for the hostages to be returned. Pray for peace and salvation to come to the Jews. Pray for a home for the Palestinian people, and that home really should be outside of Israel.
Pray for the remaining J6’ers, the political prisoners, many of whom have still not been released, even after a Presidential Order!? It’s very hard to understand this. Pray that the powers who are keeping them, against the law, would surrender to this order from the President without any more conflict.
Pray for your states Governor, pray for your Senators, Congressmen, local Rep’s and State Legislators. Pray that those who have rule over you (us) be filled with the Holy Spirit of God (According to Joel 2:28-29) and lead us to truth and freedom. Pray that they are given God’s wisdom as they rule.
Pray for your families. Best for the last. Pray for your wives and children. Pray that they come to know the fullness of the goodness of God and His love for them. Pray that they are blessed beyond measure even here at the end of all things. Pray that they know a life without fear, without doubting but that their days would be full of the testimony of Jesus Christ and His most precious salvation!
He saved the best for last. Remember at the wedding in Cana? (John 2) The Director of the Wedding said, “Why have you waited to bring out the best wine for the end? Most weddings they bring out the worst wine at the end because the people are so drunk, they can’t taste it anyways..?” But Jesus made sure the Best Wine, at the wedding, came out, by His miracle, at the end.
Perhaps this is a foreshadowing of what is to come!? Perhaps the Lord again has in fact saved The Best of Heaven, the Very Best Wine, for the last days… these last days in which we are living!? But remember, when Jesus said, “Drink New Wine”? They shouted back, “But the old is better.” But Jesus still said, “Drink New Wine.”
Perhaps the Promises of God are yet to be fulfilled. His Word is Yes and Amen!! Have all the promises been fulfilled? We are about to see. Watch. And see…
Blessings to the Church…
Blessings to the saints scattered throughout the world… Wait for it! The Best is still yet to come…
