Let’s Pray…
FATHER, I pray for all saints everywhere. Help us remain teachable that we may receive instruction from the apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. We will be Your children equipped for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the Body of Christ. Bring us to the unity of faith and knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. Father, there is now no condemnation to those who walk according to the Spirit, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life sets us free from the law of sin and death. Grant us the grace to live the life of the Spirit. Father, You condemned sin in the flesh—subdued, overcame, and deprived it of its power over us. Now the righteous and just requirement of the Law is fully met in us who live and move in the ways of the Spirit—our lives governed and controlled by the Holy Spirit. We purpose to live according to the Spirit, and we are controlled by the desires of the Spirit. We set our minds on and seek those things which gratify the Holy Spirit. We no longer live the life of the flesh; we live the life of the Spirit. The Holy Spirit of God really dwells within us, directing and controlling us. On the authority of Your Word, we declare that we are more than conquerors gaining a surpassing victory through Jesus who loves us. We refuse to be overcome with evil, but we will overcome and master evil with good. We have on the full armor of light, clothed with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for indulging the flesh. Father, we choose to be doers of Your Word. We draw forth Your wisdom in prayer and walk in it. We are peace-loving, full of compassion and good fruit. We walk in faith because it’s impossible to please You without it. We choose to be imitators of You in everything You do—representing You as a son or daughter. And we live a life filled with love, following the example of Jesus. Lord, we are strong in the power of Your might. Therefore, we take our stand against the devil and resist him; he flees. We draw close to You, and You draw close to us. We have Your word on it. We do not fear, for You never leave us. In Christ, we are filled with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
