Join this HeartCry Prayer - Every Saturday 10:30pm - 12:30am (UK time)
There are many homes today that the Lord is the King of and there are many that the Lord is a visitor in.
We
desire that the Lord will be the king of not a visitor to our homes.
The
Lord is king of heaven and we want Him to be same in our homes and be the
centre that everything else revolves around as it is in heaven.
Mark
1v29-31 – Peter’s home
In
Peter’s home, Jesus was the Master – his authority was not in question because after
He was told the problem he went into the room where Peter’s mother in law was
lying and he held her by the hand and the fever left her and her strength was
restored. She immediately got up and
took care of other’s needs. Peter’s mother in law’s response to Jesus was to
wait on Jesus and his disciples – immediately.
Even
fever recognises and respects the authority of Jesus, he didn’t have to say
anything but the fever couldn’t stay where Jesus was. After Jesus left Peter’s
house the fever didn’t sneak back because His presence remained in the house.
No wonder his family couldn’t prevent Peter from following the Lord because
they had experienced him first hand.
·
Lord
I pray that we will experience and encounter you first hand again.
·
Father
please allow anyone attached to me to encounter you first hand as well.
·
Lord
because of Peter you entered their home, can you please enter our home, heart,
house and vicinity because of us.
·
Father
deal with every spiritual and physical ‘fever’ in the lives of our loved ones.
·
Let
the response of our loved ones and anyone acquainted with us be to receive
Christ and His gospel.
Within
our homes are our husbands and children and maybe in some cases mothers and
fathers in law. Let us pray for the children within our homes, young or old,
living at home or moved from home. The only thing that holds a home together is
the unity and love that Christ provides, anything else is like cotton wool, it
dissipates
Prov 8v17 –
“I love those who love me and those who seek me find me”
The
Lord wants to be sought by all particularly in this close of day as His return
is imminent and drawing near.
·
Let
us pray that our children will love the Lord enough to seek him for themselves
without being asked, forced, begged, bribed or cajoled.
·
Let
the hearts of this generation return to You O Lord.
Prov 8v32 –
“Now then my sons, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways”
Many
a times they may think God is too strict and his demands are burdensome, but we
know what Jesus said in his invitation,(Matt 11v28-30) come to me all ye who
are weary and are heavy laden…..
·
Father
help them to heed your invitation and listen to You.
·
Lord
please permit them to keep Your ways not theirs.
·
Despite
all their ‘busyness’ let them find rest in You.
·
Let
the hold of the cyber world on them be halted and terminated.
·
Help
them to hand over their lives to you willingly and voluntarily.
Jairus home
– Luke 8v40-43, 49-52
He
had a home that hope, trust and faith prevailed in – Jesus spoke to him saying,
“Don’t be afraid, just have faith”
·
Lord
help us hold on to You in spite of the ‘obvious’ whatever that may be in our
homes and lives since we are to occupy till You return.
·
“We
must walk by faith and not by sight for the things we see are temporary, Lord I
believe and so I say that I live by faith and not by sight” – Father let this
be our strength and testimony from today in our homes that we live and walk by
faith.
·
Father
in our homes, whatever we experience help us to turn to You and stay in/with
You always.
·
Lord
Jesus You are the Resurrection and the Life, please let Your resurrection power
be at work in our homes till You return.
·
I
desire to put my hope, trust and faith in You Lord, let nothing hinder me from
doing so.
·
Help
me to stand on Your promise that cannot fail.
Joshua
24v15b – “As for me and my household we will serve the Lord”
·
God
Almighty make my home like that above where God is supreme and Christ is
worshipped and adored.
·
Lord
Jesus become our ministry afresh and anew - carrying You in our body and
proclaiming You to the world in our generation.
·
Lord
in the order of Joshua I declare that as for me and my house we will serve You
and make You known to the world.
Psalm 127v1
– Unless the Lord builds the house….
·
Without
You we can do nothing therefore we ask You to be the architect of our homes and
lives.
·
You
are the foundation upon which we desire to build our homes therefore Lord
please build, sustain, and uphold our homes until You return.
2 Cor
6v16-18 – ……. As God said, I will live in them and walk among them, I will be
their God, and they will be my people,
therefore come out from among the unbelievers and separate yourselves from
them, says the Lord. Don’t touch their filthy things and I will welcome you.
And I will be your Father and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord
Almighty”
·
Lord
as You have called us we heed Your call and separate ourselves from the
attractions of the world, Father help us draw near and remain close to You in
our hearts and homes.
·
Thank
you for promising to live in us and walk among us, we welcome Your presence.
·
You
are our Father, we and our home remain Your willing and obedient children now
and forever.
·
Thank
You Father God for hearing us tonight and always.
