Once again it is Saturday and I would like to point to some of the prayers of the New Testament which we might use as language to pray ourselves for others. Listed below are some of the prayers we see Jesus praying and might be models for us.
INTERCESSORY PRAYERS OF JESUS FOR THE CHURCH
1. Matthew 6:9-13 - The Lord's Prayer
That God's name would be honoured, hallowed, worshipped and obeyed, that God's Kingdom would be established in great power, purity and wisdom. That God would provide for the needs of the saints and that God would victoriously lead the saints out of temptation into full obedience.
2. Matt. 9:37-38
That the Lord would release holy and anointed labourers into the harvest to minister to the flock and to win the lost.
3. Luke 11:13
That God would release the power, purity and wisdom of His Spirit upon His people.
4. Luke 22:31-32
That the faith of the saints may not fail and that God's servants would be empowered to strengthen one another.
5. John 17
Vs. 11 Keep the saints in Your name that they may be one
Vs. 13 That they may have Jesus' joy made full in themselves
Vs. 15 Keep them from the evil one
Vs. 17 Sanctify them by releasing the truth powerfully to their hearts
Vs. 21-26 That You would fully bring them into Your glory and into perfected unity and fill
them with Your love for Jesus.
