God's Spiritual House

Join this HeartCry Prayer - Every Saturday 10:30pm - 12:30am (UK time)

1 Peter 2:1-5 King James Version (KJV)

1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

Our earthly homes have been supernaturally configured to offer sacrifices that are acceptable to God. It is VERY IMPORTANT that we step fully into this as God's family, laying aside all the things that are working against the graciousness of God upon our household.
As a NEW CREATION FAMILY, we must lay hold on our rights through this supernatural regeneration and firmly do the following:
1. Desire the sincerity and the growth embedded in the word of God.
2. Be the lively image of Jesus Christ.

PRAYER:

  • Lord, please water me in every area according to Your Truth, so I can water my family in the right way.
  • Open my eyes to the things that are lacking in my home and help me to set them in order of Heaven.
  • Lord, please bring my household into real partnership with those that are walking in the SAME SPIRIT and SAME STEPS with JESUS.
  • Help us as a family to love what You love, so we can continue the heavenly work of bruising the head of the serpent in every area as it has been committed to us from the foundation of the world.
3. Hold unto the heavenly doctrine in faith.
4. Be answerable to the life of JESUS.

PRAYER:

  • Let all around me, my life, my home...constantly reject fake doctrine. Open my household to the sound doctrine that will ensure the continuity of the COMPLETE WORK OF CALVARY at all times and in every situation.
  • Rid my home/family of anything that is inconsistent with the life of Jesus; collide with every area that is still untouched with Jesus' life.
5. Stand on the platform of IT IS NO LONGER MY FAMILY BUT CHRIST...when handling challenges, breakthroughs, successes, failures, troubles, trials, etc.
6. MUST enjoy God's Mercy - the fruits of God's Favour, and God's Peace – the positive effect of God's Rest inwardly and outwardly.
PRAYER:

  • Lord, help my household to constantly stand on THE HOPE that is laid up for us in Heaven, to keep standing on THE FAITH that does not rely on the reasoning and opinions of men.
  • Help us as a family to ENTER INTO GOD'S REST; to rest on the pure and purifying word of God that will keep moving us to question all impurities and to test all spirits.

The Lord's Heritage

Join this HeartCry Prayer- Every Saturday 10.30pm-1.30am (UK time)
Psalm 127 Amplified Bible
Unless the Lord builds the house, they labour in vain who build it; unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman keeps awake in vain. It is vain for you to rise early, to retire late, to eat the bread of anxious labours— For He gives [blessings] to His beloved even in his sleep. 3Behold, children are a heritage and gift from the Lord, The fruit of the womb a reward. 4Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth. How blessed [happy and fortunate] is the man whose quiver is filled with them; they will not be ashamed when they speak with their enemies [in gatherings] at the [city] gate.

Psalm 127 Good News Bible
If the Lord does not build the house, the work of the builders is useless; if the Lord does not protect the city, it does no good for the sentries to stand guard. It is useless to work so hard for a living, getting up early and going to bed late. For the Lord provides for those he loves, while they are asleep. Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a real blessing. The sons a man has when he is young are like arrows in a soldier's hand. Happy is the man who has many such arrows. He will never be defeated when he meets his enemies in the place of judgment.
Solomon having a house to build, a city to keep, and seed to raise up to his father, David directs him to look up to God, and to depend upon his providence, without which all his wisdom, care, and industry, would not serve.

Everyone knew that Solomon was a wise man, and would be correct to lean on his own understanding but his father teaches him to look higher, and to take God along with him in his undertakings

Prayer Point
  • Lord, please help us to look up to You in the raises and teaching of our children
  • Help us not to lean on our understanding or experiences or other people’s experiences to raise the gifts- heritage- You have given to us
Solomon was a man of business and his father instructed him how to manage his business under the direction of his religion.
  • Father, please help us to manage our business in respect of our home and children under Your instruction
  • Come Lord, build our home. We do not want to build in vain.
  • Help us to build according to Your pattern
Psalm 127:3
3Behold, children are a heritage and gift from the Lord, The fruit of the womb a reward
It is the Lord that gives them, if they are given and when He gives, they are to us what He makes them. Children are a heritage, and a reward, and are so to be accounted; blessings and not burdens

Prayer Point
Lord, You are the one that gives children as gifts, please release Your gifts unto us; in particular for those of us who are waiting on You to receive ours       
  • Lord, please strengthen the loins and the wombs, O God
  • We trust in You Lord for the provision and safety of the children that You will release unto us.
  • We will train them up in the fear of You O Lord, with Your help.
  • We will consult You O God concerning them in every situation.
Eph 6 1-3 (MSG) 
Children, do what your parents tell you. This is only right. “Honor your father and mother” is the first commandment that has a promise attached to it, namely, “so you will live well and have a long life.”

Children do sometimes struggle to obey and honour their parents. Probably because the enemy knows that this carries a blessing along with it, as a promise of God. If children do not have the life of Christ in them, it is difficult for obedience to be natural to them. They will struggle to live a life of obedience as it seems.

Prayer Point
  • Lord, let the exchange of life take place in our children.
  • As you release these gifts unto us help us to raise them up in Your will
  • Lord, give us wisdom to teach Your heritage Your word and ways, till they reach Calvary where the exchange of life takes place
  • Rid them of the works of flesh Lord
Eph.6:4 Amplified Bible 
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger [do not exasperate them to the point of resentment with demands that are trivial or unreasonable or humiliating or abusive; nor by showing favoritism or indifference to any of them], but bring them up [tenderly, with lovingkindness] in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
As a parent it is our responsibility to give children the upbringing that prepares them for lives pleasing to God. Not the church, school, these can only assist and affirm our own training.

Prayer Point
  • Lord please help me raise a Godly generation onto You
  • Help me raise and train them up to live a life that is pleasing unto You
  • Grant me wisdom to train them as individuals, not assuming my methods with the first will work with a second or third
Luke 1:17Amplified Bible 
17 It is he who will go as a forerunner before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers back to the children, and the disobedient to the attitude of the righteous [which is to seek and submit to the will of God]—in order to make ready a people [perfectly] prepared [spiritually and morally] for the Lord.”

Prayer Point
  • Lord, help my heart to be turned to the heart of my children in order to bring their hearts to the heart of the Saviour.

Abigail's Home


Join this HeartCry Prayer - Every Saturday 10:30pm - 12:30am (UK time)

1 Sam 25v14-44 – NIV

Abigail was an example of a woman who was sensitive, prayerful, wise, discerning, quick thinking, responsive, generous, approachable, even tempered, and eloquent. Heaven leaked a secret about David’s future as king to her (v30) she yielded her home and future to the Lord and the Lord rewarded her.

 Prayer
Ø  Father, make me a “home fronter” that is approachable so that heaven can use anyone it so chooses to prompt me into action.
Ø  Grant me wisdom to be quick and decisive in my response.
Ø  Lord, let the wisdom of heaven continue to teach me how to respond to difficult and challenging situations.
Ø  Lord, please give me the resources that I need to be prompt in my spirit and be forthcoming in action.
Ø  Father, give me wisdom not to react foolishly but to act in the way that is befitting of a godly vessel that will glorify You in my home.
Ø  Give me the heart of an intercessor and help me to intercede aright.
Ø  Strengthen me in the place of prayer for my home and for the future generations.
Ø  Lord, put words in my mouth to speak when I need to.
Ø  Father, take Your throne in our homes
Ø  Lord, please accept the offer of our hearts, lives and homes.

Matthew 6v19-20 – NLT 
19 Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 Store your treasures in heaven where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves break in and steal.

Prayer
Ø  Lord Jesus, Great Treasure of heaven, we deposit our little treasures into Your throne room of heaven tonight.
Ø  Sanctify, cleanse, purge, purify them from every rust and moth that had contaminated them up till now.
Ø  Father, please take care of them, permit them to rest in Your unfailing love and loving kindness.
Ø   Treasure of heaven, build Your throne in our homes so that lesser treasures fizzle into insignificance in our hearts, lives and homes.

 Luke 1v17 – KJV
And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

 Prayer
Ø  Father, touch the hearts of the children in this generation.
Ø  Lord, break my heart with the things that break Your heart.
Ø  We prophesy into the lives of our children that they shall be filled with the Spirit of the Lord first for their own lives and as channels for other lives.
Ø  Father, let the disobedient heart in them be replaced with the wisdom of God that they may run after God.
Ø  Most of our youth are quite decisive in their choices; Lord, please affect every choice and decisions they make henceforth.
Ø  Father, please prepare our children/youth for the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ø  Father, we lay claim to the cyberworld today as a means of channelling Your gospel to and through our children.

Psalm 76v1-2 – GNB
God is known in Judah; His name is honoured in Israel. He has His home in Jerusalem; He lives on Mount Zion.

 Prayer
Ø  Father, let Jesus be known and acknowledged in and through our homes and in our neighbourhood.
Ø  Let the name of Jesus be honoured in our home community.
Ø  Let Your Cross be placed at the heart of our home.
Ø  Jesus, make Your home in my home.
Ø  Lord, we pray that You will come and sit upon our lives.
Ø  Lord, please reveal to me those things that are key in Your heart.
Ø  We use ourselves as points of contact for our generation, among the women. Father use us as Your rod and battle axe in the place of prayer.
Ø  Let Your kingdom come and be established yet again in our lifetime, O Lord.
