Psalm 48 [sm=icon_smile_sing.gif]

1Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.

2Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

3God is known in her palaces for a refuge.

4For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.

5They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.

6Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.

7Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.

8As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.

9We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.

10According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.

11Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.

12Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.

13Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.

14For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.

Just wanted to tell you I am glad you have this thread; India really needs the prayers. Thank you for being faithful.


Lord help those in India who don't have enough to eat, and those who have empty souls. May your people reach out in compassion and shine the light of Christ. And may there truly be freedom of religion in India! In Jesus name amen.

Thanks Casey <3

Father, we agree with Casey's prayer for India. Provision for your people there both physically and spiritually. Raise up laborers in that region to be your hands of compassion and your beautiful feet as your Word lights the path of many. Your word is Truth Lord, and the Truth of Jesus Christ sets us free. FREEDOM IN INDIA LORD. In the name of Jesus.

Father we ask that you provide transportation for your people in India. Transportation so they can earn a wage, so they can reach their loved ones, but most of all so that the Gospel can be carried and shared with every soul in India. Cars, trucks, Motorcycles, Bicycles, Shoes... safe travel, protection, refreshing along the journey, hospitality as they go from village to village, home to home, city to city.

Go with them Lord. Just as you walked the roads with your disciples when you were on the earth, just as you promised to go with them and walk with them and never forsake them. Let them sense your presence when the mission seems easy, and let them sense your very breathing beside them when they face hardship or opposition in any way. Encourage them. Cause the commission to seem effortless despite what the world or the appearance of things may say around them. Let us see with your eyes, to trust with your heart, to persevere with your patience, to believe with your confidence. We need you Father, your people in India need you. Be all things to them and for them.

Thank you for loving us so much. Thank you for the detailed and personal care that you afford to each and everyone of your servants. There is much we will never understand, but cause us to be quick to obey and to please you and honor you with all that is within us. We are your children. In our own nations and in our sister nation of India. Bless her and keep her and let your face shine upon her. I have seen her in a dream, and she is beautiful. Her love for you is great. Hear the prayer and the cry of her heart, and answer with speed and wisdom and power. In the name of Jesus.

We love you Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Amen.

Father, we pray for the nation of India and for all your people that are ministering there. Send your angels to camp around them in their homes, in their work, in their schools, every where they go and all that they do, keep them in the center of your perfect will and in the protection of the most High God. We thank you and praise you. In the name of Jesus.

We ask that you release a spirit of praise in India, something that has never been seen or known or felt in that region before. Something that is so overwhelming that people find themselves singing and humming about your goodness as they live and move thru out the day and night. Put a song in their heart and upon their lips that they are unable to even explain, a joy that comes from you, a joy that ministers to the deepest places of their heart, and that draws them closer to Christ than they ever thought possible. Those that don't know him as Savior, give them a song that helps them to understand his power and his love for them. Those that already know him, a song that helps them see him more clearly and to hear him with a greater certainty. Even music that is not sung in your name, cause it to bring the name and the goodness of Jesus Christ into the thoughts of all who are hearing it. I don't understand how that is even possible, but I know that all things are possible with you Lord.

Even as Gospel tracts are read, let a special anointing rest on every word. Cause something to happen, something miraculous. Send your people to interpret the words to the lost. Send your Spirit to convict and woo the back-slider back to the God that loves them. Open the eyes of those that have coldly rejected you Lord, and let them see your beauty and your Truth. As each tract is read or even touched or even glimpsed... let a spirit of joy and worship well up in their hearts. And let every soul know that it is you that has blessed them and ministered to the deep places of their heart, the places that they thought no one could see, that no one cared about, that were too painful for them to even acknowledge. Miracles Lord, use the written word and written testimony of these tracks to do the impossible for your glory. In the name of Jesus.

Father, pour out praise in India, what a healing balm there is in worship of you. Holy Spirit blow across that land and stir something that will mark this time of revival and awakening that will not soon be forgotten. Change is in the wind. Let your wind blow across hearts and lives, such a touch from you can soften the hardest heart. Come Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus.

Lord Jesus... there are not words to say how precious you are to us. Your goodness is such a deep thing that people smile and sometimes cry at the mere mention of your name -- Jesus -- everything about you reaches into the deep places of every soul and brings beauty from the dust that we are. We love you Lord, because you first loved us. You refused to give up on us. You refused to forget us. Make that Truth clear in India today, especially to the poor and the hurting and the oppressed and imprisoned. They are not forgotten. You see them and you are fighting on their behalf.

Praise to the Almighty God. Pour it out Lord. Every knee will bow someday. Today, let every voice praise the name of Jesus, cause them to understand your goodness. Cause them to show favor to your people and to all that is ruled by the authority of your name. We are blessed. India, our precious sister, is blessed. Because Jesus Christ is with us. God is with us and he has promised to never forsake us. We worship you Lord. You are great and glorious... nothing and no one can compare with you. We ask that you would release a spirit of praise and worship in India, and let revival spread through out the world from that beautiful nation. In the name of Jesus. Amen.



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (3/13/2008 12:20:54 PM)

Father, thank you for all that you have done and are doing in India today. Thank you that you walk among the towns and villages and homes of that region. You intervene in so many ways, sometimes with miracles, sometimes with such practical provision, and sometimes in ways that actually go unnoticed. Your care is constant and we thank you. Praise and Glory to the name of Jesus Christ, the son of God. He loves us and he walks among us. The people of India are blessed by your presence Lord, and we are blessed to see our brothers and sisters walking in your great favor. We ask that you continue to touch their lives, to minister to their every need, to free them from the law of sin and death. In the name of Jesus.

I pray for the young adults of India. I pray that they would find a Godly spouse that will encourage them in their walk with you Lord Jesus. Someone who will be strengthened by their own love of God so that they might strengthen one another. It is such an important relationship for those that choose to marry. And in such severe times, it can be difficult to find someone that is fully committed to Christ and to the holiness of marriage and faithfulness. Whether it be someone they have overlooked, or someone they have known as a close friend for a long time, or someone that you have brought to them... guide them and give them keen discernment so that they will clearly and unmistakably marry that one person that you have prepared them for. And Father, guard their courtship and their marriage with your holiness, in the times of blessing and in the times of hardship. Bind them together with the love of God first, and then with their love for one another. In the name of Jesus.

Father, I pray for the rejected of India, those that have been turned away for any number of reasons, whether because of caste or shame among their family or lack of physical beauty or some sickness that has left them crippled or disfigured. Father, such people have not lost their beauty. Their soul and who they truly are remains unchanged and so very precious. Move upon the hearts of those around them to love and embrace them in sincere and honest relationship. Provide spouses and families and communities that will see them as you see them.. and who will help them to see themselves as you see them. Let them know that they are not alone, they are not forgotten. Comfort their heart to know that they are greatly loved and valued. Help them to prosper and to live abundantly for Christ.

Bless those in India who have been rejected in times past, those rejected subtly and those violently pushed away. Bring Change Lord. Cause your people to be your expression of love, and intervene so that their broken-hearts will be healed and full of joy. In the name of Jesus. Thank you Father. Amen.



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (3/14/2008 11:55:39 AM)

Father, we ask that you would bless your people in India today. Whatever the need right now in this moment, we ask that you would make provision for them and for every life that they are touching in your name. If the need is food or water or shelter, we ask that you put it in their hands in abundance. If the need is prayer or protection or encouragement, we ask that you would pour it out through the service of your people and the hearing of your Word. If the need is salvation or healing or intervention, we ask that your Holy Spirit would draw all men to Jesus Christ and that the power of your presence would manifest as never before. In the name of Jesus.

Father we pray that the captives would be set free. That those who are held in darkness or held in a jail cell would be let out and allowed to pursue the blessings in life that you have promised. Father if it is a child that has been held in a brothel and forced to submit to being consistently raped and sexually abused, send someone to fight for them. Send someone that will not give up until they are set free from such torment. Not just the children, but any woman or young girl that finds herself in that same situation. In the name of Jesus.

Those who are in prison or a jail cell, who were not treated fairly, or who were sentenced way beyond the measure of their offense. Set them free Lord. Send someone to intervene in the courts on their behalf. Send someone to minister to them in the prison and to give them guidance when they finally get to go to trial. Those that are innocent and who have been falsely accused, set them free from that jail cell Lord. Let justice prevail. Let your mercy be great. Those who are guilty but who have repented and sincerely come to know you, make a way for mercy. Let their heart be radically changed just like Saul as he became Paul, and give them back their freedom so that they can testify of your goodness. In the name of Jesus.

Those who are bound in addiction, whether drugs or alcohol or sexual addiction -- break the chains of that addiction in the name of Jesus. We ask that you cause their eyes to be opened to see the Truth of that thing they crave, cause them to see the evil and foulness of it. Every time they find themselves craving it, cause a disgust to well up in them toward it. And give them the strength to break free from the prison it has kept them and their loved ones in. Send someone to counsel them and empower them to change, to walk in freedom, to cleanse their thoughts and their life in the name of Jesus.

Thank you Lord. Thank you Father that you have heard our prayer. Come Holy Spirit and perform the will of God in every area of our lives. Bless those in India today. Let the captives in that land know FREEDOM THRU JESUS CHRIST. We speak freedom in his name. Amen.



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (3/15/2008 7:50:40 AM)

Father, we love you and we love your people in India and we love your servants around the world. Look upon them today and cause your face to shine upon them. It is your favor that we seek, remind us of that always. Keep us from the lust of the eyes that causes us to covet and to be dissatisfied in so many ways, causing divisions among us and deceiving us to think that we are above another person. Such sin causes us to lash out at others in jealousy and envy and competition, always feeling that the blessings we have are never enough. Forgive us Lord and help us to have a right spirit. Keep us from the lust of the eyes. That desire to control and to possess another because of our own insecurities, such a thing is rebellion because it goes against your very nature. Such a thing is witchcraft. Open our eyes to see clearly, to not covet, but to give and to sacrifice for others for your glory Lord and none other.

Protect your people in India and around the world from the lust of the flesh. Whether the temptation is our own or that of another that causes us to suffer, protect us from this ravenous spirit that devours the health of body mind and soul Whether the temptation comes in the form of sex or inflicting violence or gluttony, drunkenness or addiction, help us to resist it. Cause us to cry out to you, make us strong and of a sound mind, so that the enemy will flee from us. Protect India from the lust of the flesh Lord. Protect her children from being victims of sexual abuse and physical abuse and gross neglect. Such sin is motivated by selfishness and greed. Break the strongholds of such things so that your people are protected, so that the innocent are not made victims, so that the captives held in bondage to it would be set free from their sin and cravings. In the name of Jesus.

Father, protect your people in India and in every nation of the world from the pride of life, from thinking that we are gods. Help us to not trust in ourselves or in any other man or being, but help us to acknowledge your authority in heaven and in earth. Keep us from thinking that we have acquired any blessing through our own strength or by our own means. Let our hearts and our minds not be deceived to think that our righteousness amounts to anything, but let us always remember that all that is Good comes from God. Protect us from the pride of life. Such sin convinces us that we have no need of the Almighty God, that we are self-sufficient. We are in such need of you Lord. Help us in all things. You are our love and our life and our very breath. We reject all arrogance and pride and we submit ourselves fully to you Lord. Let it be so. Make us able. In the name of Jesus.

Thank you Father that you do not leave us wandering aimlessly in this world, but that you have a daily plan for India and for each of us. We say yes and amen to your will in every area of our lives. In the name of Jesus. May we never exalt ourselves, and may we never have any other god above you. May we love you with all that is within us, and may we love others as we love ourselves. Showing great mercy, disciplining in love, with constant and sincere care, always watchful, always bettering all, working for the well being of each one as we are bound together as one in the love of Jesus Christ. Bless our family in India Lord. We share the same sinful nature, but we share the same Savior of all. And we thank you. Your mercy and your love and the power of your name is great. You are our Hope, our Peace, and our Strength. In the name of Jesus. Amen.



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (3/16/2008 8:32:45 AM)

Father, we pray for India today. You see each and every soul in that land, you know the need of their hearts and of their physical body. We ask that you would provide all to your people there and that you would open doors for them to pour it into the lives of those in need for your glory Lord. Use your people to be a blessing, and pour your blessing upon the church in India today. Food, clean water, safety, refreshing, peace of mind and soul and body, emotional and physical healing. Give them joy for their sorrow. Trade them as they cast their cares upon you in obedience to your word. The day grows dark, but you are the Light of the World Jesus. And we call upon you to perform your will in all the earth. Anoint your people and make them able. In the name of Jesus.

We pray for the mothers of India's children. We pray that they would look to you Lord Jesus to be the salvation of their families and of their very own soul. Hear the cry of the these women as they search for daily necessities for their children. Give them the words to encourage their husbands as they seek work and as they labor so diligently to earn a wage. Let them be a hope and a refreshing to all who enter the door of their homes. Ease their own personal suffering and minister to them as well. Let them be blessed and let them be a blessing in the name of Jesus.

Thank you that you are so very near to us at all times. The situation around us does not always change immediately so that we can see and feel the effects, but you remain and your will is performed and nothing will hinder the good things that you have planned for your people. Move upon the hearts of believers in India to see without seeing, to walk with great faith as they hear your Words. Speak patience and courage and strength to their hearts and minds. Give them a voice to guide others along into your perfect will. Your will is to bless and not hurt, your will is to discipline with love to bring order, your will is to shower mercy upon all who are willing to receive it. Let your will be done in India Father. We thank you and we love you so very much. In the name of Jesus. Amen.



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (3/17/2008 9:53:18 AM)

Father, we pray for your people in India and the surrounding areas of that nation. Look upon them with great favor and compassion we pray. We ask that you would intervene on their behalf, provide for the physical needs of ministry and assistance to the oppressed and poverty stricken, protect your servants from their tormentors and from persecution. Give them favor with God and Man. Move upon the hearts and minds of the military, the police, the courts, and the officials of that region. Cause them to rule in favor of your people. In the name of Jesus. Even those in positions of authority who do not know you Lord, cause them to act justly, even when they would intend harm for your people, let them make rulings and decisions that will actually bring the greatest blessing to your people. With man such a thing would be impossible, but you are not a man that you are limited. And you are not a man that you would lie. Your word tells us that we can make such requests of you Father, in the name of your son, Jesus Christ, and that you will hear and answer according to your wisdom and your mercy. We ask in the name of Jesus. We trust in you Father.

Protect your people from fear and intimidation and manipulation. Keep them from being silenced by the evil men around them. Give them wisdom of when to speak and when to remain silent, when to act and when to walk in peace and patience. Cause them to be wise as serpents but gentle as doves according to the instruction of your word. We need you Lord. Your people need you in India. Protect them with miracles if necessary. But let your perfect will be done above all things. Impart a gift of Faith and Hope and Love. Help them to forgive. In our weakness it is impossible to forgive the sins committed against your people in India, against the innocent, such violence, such inhumane evil... but your mercy has the power to forgive all, to restore the lowest sinner. I know this to be true, because you have restored each of us who were once equally evil. Help your people to Love their enemies as you love them Lord. In the name of Jesus.

Guard the hearts and minds of the children, of the innocents. Guide and train those that are new to the faith so that they can truly know you Father, and the love of your son, our Lord Jesus. Let every attempt to silence the Gospel only cause it to spread more fiercely in word and deed. Let every act of hate committed against the followers of Christ only increase a great harvest of the LOVE of God manifested on the earth. Every time they try to stamp out one good and Godly thing, let ten more rise up and flourish in its place. Persuade their enemies of your goodness Lord. Convince them that your mercy is for them as well. Change their hearts, soften the hardness that has consumed them and kept them in bondage to sin. Cause them to see and to understand that you have a plan to bless and prosper them and their families if they would but trust in Jesus Christ and receive the many good things that he has purchased for them. Send your people to tell them of all that he has sacrificed, his very blood. To tell them of the Love and Passion of Christ... that he wanted to make sure that each of us has the chance to know God as Savior and Friend. Come Holy Spirit and draw the hearts of all men to Christ. In the name of Jesus. Thank you Father. Amen.



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (3/18/2008 11:18:49 AM)

Father, anoint your people in India today and impart your words and your wisdom to them. In the name of Jesus the Christ. There is darkness and violence and injustice over the entire earth, including India, and we just agree together that the will of God will intervene as never before in every nation. Starting in India, especially in India, she is a key somehow to the salvation of that region because of the blood of Jesus and the love of God. I don't understand much of it, but you are smiling on that region and her people in this hour of the church. Your favor is upon all who walk in Your Truth in India.

You have something in mind that our minds cannot comprehend, but it is something that will bring good things to those that are hurting and searching for Truth, who have been in bondage for far too long, who have wept bitterly for the pain of others and for the future of India's children. Move upon the hearts of the leaders of that nation, and cause them to understand your love for them and for their people. Help them to be good men, good leaders. Help them to lead with integrity and character and goodness. Come Lord Jesus and set all things in order in India according to your perfect will. It is your kindness that leads us to repentance and empowers us to turn from sin and evil. It is your strong arm and your holiness that disciplines with love and mercy and wisdom. It is your will that plans to prosper the nation that seeks to do good and not evil. Let your will be done Father. In the name of Jesus.

Protection.

Provision.

Freedom in Christ, Truth thru his Word, Hope by his Spirit.

In the name of Jesus.

We have no answers, but we have a measure of faith. We believe all that you have promised and spoken Lord Jesus. Increase our faith to not waver in difficult times, in our hardships, in the face of much evil... cause us to be strong and fully committed to the will of the Father... cause us to be like Christ... loving God and loving others... even our enemies and those who persecute us because their soul is lost and a stranger to the love of Christ. We need you Father. Send your Spirit to do a work in the hearts of many, free us from condemnation as you pour conviction into every area of our lives. Cleanse hearts in India and in the world, through the shed blood of Jesus Christ and the power of his resurrection. Restore the people of India. Let them know you as Lord and Savior and Friend. You have such a great love for them. Intervene in that nation because of your great love for her.

Such suffering and unrest cannot continue. You said that you would bring it to a close sooner than expected for the sake of the elect. India cries out to you Lord. Your people in that region open their hands to you and ask for your guidance and your provision to accomplish all that you have asked of them. Pour it out. Fill their hands with physical provision, Fill their mouths with your words to ensure relational provision, Fill their hearts with your presence and your passion to forgive. Fill their minds with your perfect peace that casts out all fear. Give them revelation to understand the spiritual armor spoken about in Ephesians 6. Cause them to pray in the Spirit, fully yielded to your will.

Evil and violence cannot continue at such a level. Change must come. Transition is in the air. As the earth shifts in India, as the heavens are shaken, protect all that is good and Godly. Salvation Lord. We ask it for your beloved in India. She is precious to you and to us. Bless and keep her in the palm of your hand. In the name of Jesus. Thank you precious Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (3/19/2008 12:12:01 PM)

Father, we pray for your people in India today. We especially pray for those that feel small and unimportant and unseen. The children Lord. Those that go day to day with no one to even acknowledge their existence. No one that would smile at them, no one that would hug them out of true concern for them, no one to chat with them about all that is in their heart. The lonely, the overlooked, the orphan, the widow, the husband or father who has lost his family, those who find themselves so very separated from the ones they love or even know. Cause your people to search for them in India Lord, let them find them, send someone to love them with all sincerity. Build relationships, cause divine encounters. Let them know that someone cares for them, let them know that God cares for them. In the name of Jesus.

We ask that you would once again pour out provision for another day, healthy food and clean water. We ask once again that supplies be in abundance to teach the people of India about the love of Jesus Christ for each and every soul in their nation, and the world. We ask that you would provide all that is needed to disciple young and old, men and women, influential and untouchable. Remove all barriers of caste and race and prejudice. Let every person in India be seen as you see them Lord. Let the heart of your people love each one as you love them. Your love is great. Your love is merciful and patient and kind. Your love is unafraid to discipline and to train us to be the best that we can be in every area of our lives. Your love works diligently to give us our hearts desire, while guarding the well-being of all. Your love is incredible and beyond our understanding. Reveal your love to the people of India, Lord Jesus. Let them glimpse your goodness, let them know your favor and your affection. You are everything and so much more.

Father, give the gift of faith to your people in India, to believe when it seems foolish to believe, to know that your word is true, to be confident in your faithfulness, and to be committed to your will even unto death if necessary. Life is so complicated. Pain and suffering are real. Persecution and Betrayal and Cruelty all exist in a world full of people consumed with selfishness. But you have come to India, you have come to the world, to each of us, to set us free from such darkness and evil. And we praise you and thank you Lord Jesus. We are no longer slaves and victims to it... we are warriors who fight against it... not with violence and warfare as defined by the world... our battle is not against flesh and blood... our battle is in spiritual places and through prayer to the Almighty God. We call upon you, we declare righteous things in your name and by the authority you have given to us. You speak and it is so. And you give us your words to speak, and the power to make it so in your name. We claim such a calling. You have made us able, and we can do all things through Jesus Christ.

Come Lord Jesus. Come Holy Spirit. According to the perfect will of the Father.
Call your people to prayer, to make their requests known to the one true God.
Bring change to India. Bring deliverance, goodness, and salvation in the name of Jesus Christ, though the blood he shed, the life he gave, and his resurrection as he returned with great power to the Father, to India, to the world, and to us. Jesus is alive and well and performing the perfect will of God in India. He loves her and he loves her people. Bless your people in India Father. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Psalm 5
For the director of music. For flutes. A psalm of David.

1 Give ear to my words, O LORD,
consider my sighing.

2 Listen to my cry for help,
my King and my God,
for to you I pray.

3 In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait in expectation.

4 You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil;
with you the wicked cannot dwell.

5 The arrogant cannot stand in your presence;
you hate all who do wrong.

6 You destroy those who tell lies;
bloodthirsty and deceitful men
the LORD abhors.

7 But I, by your great mercy,
will come into your house;
in reverence will I bow down
toward your holy temple.

8 Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness
because of my enemies—
make straight your way before me.

9 Not a word from their mouth can be trusted;
their heart is filled with destruction.
Their throat is an open grave;
with their tongue they speak deceit.

10 Declare them guilty, O God!
Let their intrigues be their downfall.
Banish them for their many sins,
for they have rebelled against you.

11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may rejoice in you.

12 For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield.

Father, sing over India we pray.
Reveal your love for her as never before.
In the name of Jesus.

Father, we pray for our brothers and sisters in India today. We ask that your strong arm would guard their hearts and keep them from all bitterness and unforgiveness. We ask that you fill them with your joy and your mercy and your love. We ask that you give them strength to stand when they should stand, to speak when they should speak, to accomplish all that you have called them to do in the name of Jesus. We ask that you give them wisdom to be silent when they should not speak, to yield when they should yield, to turn aside when you say it is necessary. Your direction, your guidance, come Holy Spirit and lead your people in India in every matter, big and small. In the name of Jesus.

Divine protection. Miracles. Faith and Trust in you Lord when our minds are tempted to fear or when our understanding is limited. Give your people in India great discernment, help them to hear your voice clearly, let them see the way that they should go, remove all doubt and distraction in the name of Jesus. Where should they labor to earn a wage today, who should they approach with a tract or with the Gospel message, what to invest their limited resources in, when are they to go in your name and to act with all diligence, when are they to remain, to wait, to be patient... a righteous man's steps are ordered and guided by the Lord... help them to make decisions to the best of their ability as you have enabled them, and then give them peace with those decisions. As their heart has sought your will above all others, bless their decisions and work all things together for their good and for the good of those around them. In the name of Jesus.

Father, help your people in India to be merciful not only to their enemies and those that they love who have disappointed or failed them -- Help your people to be merciful to themselves. Anything that the enemy would use to cause them to feel unworthy or ashamed, we ask that you silence those voices of condemnation. Cause them to forgive themselves as you have forgiven them. Remind them of your sacrifice and your love and that you have paid all on their behalf. Cause them to be humbled by your goodness and your love for them, and cause them realize the freedom that you have purchased for them. I speak against all guilt that tries to remain upon your people in India, as they have called upon you to cleanse them -- they are clean. They are free in the name of Jesus.

India... your King, the Lord Jesus, has set you free. You are new and beautiful and full of his power and his glory.

Thank you Father for your love for India. Thank you for your love for each of us.
Make us more and more like Jesus, every day, moment to moment. We need you so desperately.
Amen.

Father, we thank you for all that you are doing in India today. Thank you for another day, for the faithfulness of your people there to continue daily in service and in ministry. We pray that you would meet the deepest needs of their families and communities, of their body and their souls. We pray that you would bring refreshing to them, that you would pour gifting into them, wisdom, strength to persevere, mercy and compassion. We pray that you would give them your words to speak in every situation. If they have an important meeting or interview or encounter today or this week, guide their words and give them favor with God and Man. Let their hearts be whole and committed to your will Father. Give them peace in the midst of trouble, give them rest/training in the times of quiet. Give them joy in you at all times. In the name of Jesus.

We pray for the children and those that are hungry to day. Provide food Father. Get good food, healthy food coupled with some treats into the hands of every soul that is hungry. And let it be done in your name so that they will know your great love for them and the power of your provision. Send your people to tell them about you, to encourage them no matter what they may or may not be facing today. Bring good clean water to them too. Cause wells to be dug throughout that region so that water will not be a source of disease. Fill India with the water of your Spirit and draw all men to the cross of Christ that they may know his great love for them. In the name of Jesus.

Again, we ask for more bicycles and all needed modes of transportation for your missionaries in India and throughout Asia. Make a way for them to carry the Gospel to every corner, to every home, to every village, to every person. Remove all hindrance, remove every obstacle, remove every situation of lack. Pour provision into the hearts and minds and bodies of your people in India and make them able to move the message of the Gospel freely throughout that region. In the name of Jesus.

We pray about all matters of legislation or things that remain pending in the courts. Work all things for the good of those that love you Lord, who are called according to your purpose. If they are needing your provision for someone that they are ministering to, we pray that you would move on behalf of that person according to your wisdom and your mercy. For those who are unjustly in prison, make a way for them to receive favor from their officials and to be released. For those who have repented and truly want change and want to return to their families and community in order to better themselves and the lives of those around them... grant them that second chance.

Send someone to disciple them and to sharpen their character as your word speaks about. Send people of character that know and love you Lord to sharpen the character of other believers, just as iron sharpens iron. Create and anoint friendships that will bring much blessing to many, that will be an example and a model of your love. It is by our love for one another that all men will know that we are your disciples. In the name of Jesus. We thank you Father. Amen.



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (3/22/2008 11:58:18 AM)

Father, we pray for the Christians in India today. For all of those who have faced persecution or suffering or loss because of their obedience to you. Encourage them today. Help them to trust that such difficulty is only temporary, and that you have a greater glory worked out on their behalf. Things that will bring a worthy blessing a hundred times over, that will transform their hurt and their loss into something miraculous and beautiful. Comfort them in their pain in this hour, help them to not give up, empower them to not lose hope. Rebuke the darkness from their hearts and minds, and bring them to a place of refreshing and strength to persevere.

You are a rewarder of those who diligently seek you Lord. This is your word, and you are the God of Truth. We trust in what cannot be seen, that is our Faith, that is the seed that will bring forth a harvest of all that is Good and Great and Glorious. In the name of Jesus.

Father, I don't know what your people are going through in India. I don't know what is in the mind of the children of that nation as they walk thru day after day... but you do. I don't know the fears of your people, or the stress that they carry, or the questions in their thoughts as they try to understand the hardship they face each day. They must be tired, they must be gleaning strength in those moments of desperation. I cannot fathom how they endure under such a heavy weight, or how they remain so steadfast and beautiful in their commitment to Christ. It must be you and you alone that makes them able. Thank you Lord that you have not forgotten them. Thank you Father that you are walking with your children in India and causing them to do great things. Things that seem to go unnoticed in the darkness, but things that you are taking note of and that you will recompense on their behalf. You will return to them all that they have lost, above and beyond their wildest dreams, in abundance as you have promised. Thank you Lord.

You are with them, you are fighting for them, you are leading them thru this cursed world on to victory and every good thing. You will not fail them, and because of that, they will not fail no matter the attack of the enemy, no matter the stumbling blocks scattered along the way. Their steps are guided by your Word as they are led by your Spirit. You see them, you see their sacrifice, the injustices committed against them. You see all, and you work all for the greatest good. Hear their hearts cry, and answer with power and gentleness according to your wisdom and your mercy. Smile upon their greatest joy, and increase it today. In the name of Jesus.

Make them able to do the unthinkable... to forgive their enemies and their persecutors. Help them, help us, help your people around the world to do the impossible... to be like Christ.

Self-sacrifice. Blood. Mercy. Redemption. Life... LOVE.
That is our God.

Help us Lord. Help us to be like you. We cannot do it in our own strength. We need you so desperately in this hour. Your church needs a fresh outpouring and a mighty empowering. Let it begin in India. Bring Change. Bring beauty for ashes in our own lives, and help us to be the vessel as you do the same in the lives of the lost around us. Bring them to repentance because of the sacrifice of your people in India, and around the world. You see all that your people in that nation have endured and all that they continue to suffer with patience. Reward their labor. Reward their sacrifice. Bring a Spirit of conviction and repentance to their persecutors and all who have sinned against them and against you Lord. BRING REVIVAL TO INDIA. True and real and full of power, so that the world will hear their testimony of your love and turn from their wickedness and sin. So that every soul will understand the love of Christ, so that every soul will begin to testify of your love Father. In the name of Jesus. Amen.



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (3/23/2008 2:47:23 PM)

Father, thank you for all that you are doing in India today. So many in that nation do not understand the beauty of your story, or your great love, of you coming to earth to be with them, to purchase their freedom from the curse that is upon the earth and all of mankind. They do not know because they have not been told. They have no understanding of your resurrection and the power that you have given to them to affect heaven and earth. Send your people to those lost souls to tell them of your love for them and the plan of salvation that you have worked so that they can know eternal joy, so that they can be loved and comforted by their heavenly Father, so that they can walk in purpose and peace and all that is right and good. Let the Gospel prevail throughout all of India today Lord. Stir the hearts of the people of that nation, and let their passion and zeal for Christ spark a revival that will shake the entire world. In the name of Jesus.

Feed the hungry today Lord. Provide clean water we ask. Whatever means is available, through your people, or through people that don't even know you. And let all things be done for your glory. Use every resource, in the church and outside of the church, to help the people of India to know that every blessing and all that is good comes from your hand. Let them realize that you love them and that you will care for every need of their body, mind and soul. Forever. Eternal Life. Abundant Life in Jesus Christ. Make it real to them. Not a story in a book, or words they heard on a street corner... but make it a spiritual encounter, a face to face meeting with you Lord, food for their soul, refreshing rivers for their spirit. Cause them to hear beyond just physical hearing. Cause them to see beyond with just their eyes. Let them know you Lord. In the name of Jesus.

Watch over the missionary families ministering and serving long term in that region. As they are away from their homelands, bless them with refreshing fellowship and a harvest of ministry. Protect them from all evil, from doubt, from fear, from anything that the enemy would devise against them. We speak against ever plot of hell in the name of Jesus, and we say that it is broken and undone and will not prevail in any way against them. We speak blessing to the people of God, we speak the perfect will of God over every area of their lives and over their families. In the name of Jesus. Good and glorious things that will prosper and multiply all that you have poured into their lives to bless them. Encouragement, strength, faith, courage, joy, peace, health, LOVE... in the name of Jesus. Thank you Father that you are always present. That you not only hear but you answer every request with such precise wisdom and wonderful mercy. We love you. There is no God like you. Amen.



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (3/24/2008 2:15:28 PM)

Father, we pray for your people in India today. Bless them and keep them. If their day seems uneventful or ordinary, encourage them to persevere and to be faithful in the little things. If their day is full of peace and joy, refresh them and remind them to give thanks and to enjoy. If their day is full of hardship and persecution, provide all things for them and help them to hold fast to their faith and their hope. If their day is full of loss and grief, comfort them and help them to trust you to restore all as you bring beauty from the ashes.

In all these things, let them sense your presence as never before and cause them to know that they are loved by the Almighty God. In the name of Jesus.

Father, we ask that you would pour out a spirit of creativity and resourcefulness. That songs and worship would come forth to lead the people of India into worship, that powerful business ideas would come to mind that would help them to earn a wage and to overflow the blessing into the lives of those around them. That clothes and jewelry and other wares/handiworks would come to mind so that the design would be cutting edge and would glorify your name. Cause your people to think of ways to multiply the fruit of their resources, to use what seemed like useless or insignificant items... to create wares to sell, and tools, and provision for whatever their need may be. Pour out a gift of knowledge and of wisdom, skills, and artistry. In the name of Jesus.

Let India rejoice because the Lord Jesus is with her.

No matter the darkness or the hardship or the persecution or the mundane or the poverty... cause your people in India to overcome all. You have made us overcomers because you have overcome the world. Jesus. We praise you. Touch every heart in India today. Let the lost encounter and understand your love for them. A spirit of cheerfulness and laughter and health. In the name of Jesus. Spring is coming, it blooms all around us. Let your love bloom in the hearts of the people of India as well. Let their praise of you be as sweet as the aroma of springtime and as beautiful as the blossoms bursting throughout the landscape of that nation.

Stir the air Lord with your Spirit and the voice of your people. Let them bear witness, let them declare, let them spark the Revival that is being birthed in India as we speak.
In the name of Jesus. Amen.



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (3/25/2008 11:34:55 AM)

Father, thank you for all that you are doing in India. We pray for your people that are serving there in the name of Jesus. Those that are serving long term from other nations and those that know India as their homeland. Bless and empower your people there as they labor to bring peace to the hearts and lives of every soul despite the chaos and turmoil of the world around them. Let every seed of the Gospel planted in the hearts of the lost take root and bring an increase of great faith in Jesus Christ throughout India. Open wide every door that the enemy tries to close to your people. In the name of Jesus. Make a way for them to perform all that you have called them to and all that you have put in their heart. Let them advance the Gospel not according to the violence of this world, but according to the violence as defined in your word that will allow them to take it by force in spiritual realms. Our weapons and our warfare are not a matter of battling against flesh and blood. Our victory is in spiritual matters and character and integrity and wisdom and prayer and mercy and justice and Truth. We speak on your behalf, standing firm when you direct Lord Jesus, but the battle remains the Lord. Praise his name forever!

We thank you Father that you have heard every prayer and petition of your people in India. We thank you that you do not overlook a single one, nor do you cast our cares aside as though they are insignificant. But you hear every whisper of our heart, every breath that we breathe, every cry, and every silent scream. You know the pain and the heartache and the suffering of every soul in India, and you respond. You, Lord Jesus, respond with great power and wisdom. There is no enemy that can even stand in your presence. Our God is God. There is no other. He is Almighty and yet full of mercy. Justice and Righteousness are his person coupled with Grace and Redemption. Pour all these things out in India Lord. All of your goodness, your discipline, and your love. In the name of Jesus. Make her a great nation that fears God, that loves God, that loves your people, that is willing to sacrifice all to be like Christ. In the name of Jesus.

Food. Water. Shelter. Wage. The physical needs are many and great, but not too great for you Lord. Meet every need. Put provision into the hands of your people to give freely to the people of India in your name. Make it plain that you will meet every need, physical and spiritual. In the name of Jesus.

Equip the Church with all provision, and anoint every act of kindness, every seed planted, every word spoken on your behalf. In our imperfection and our failures, in the sincerity of our hearts as we struggle in our humanity, help us to make up where we fall short, fill the gaps that we leave in ministry, in the name of Jesus. Our righteousness is as filthy rags... we are so in need of you Lord to accomplish what you have called your church to perform. We need each other as your people. Bring unity to your people, one heart, one Spirit, one love... in the name of Jesus. Cause your people to put aside superficial differences and disagreements, help them to remain focused on the commission, on what matters most, on the center of our existence, on the salvation of the lost and the increase of the kingdom of God.

Protect us from confusing your kingdom Father with our own, or with the church, or with some idealistic dreamer. Keep our discernment sharp and our obedience perfected to your will. Discipline us according to your wisdom and your love. Do not let us wander from your perfect will. Do not let us justify taking our eyes off of you for a second. Help us Lord. Keep us focused. Help us to see and judge rightly according to your word. Move in such a way in the church in India and your church around the world. Make us of one mind and one accord, full of your mercy and your grace Lord. In the name of Jesus. Amen.



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (3/26/2008 3:45:48 PM)

Father, we pray for your people in India today. Bless them and let them sense your presence close at hand. Let them know that you are working all things on their behalf, even when the appearance of all that is around them seems dark. Help them to walk in faith and with confidence that you have not forgotten them, give them joy and peace of mind beyond explanation, and cause them to glimpse the unseen with their physical eyes as well as their spiritual eyes. In the name of Jesus.

We pray for all of those behind the scenes, those that make up the supply lines and communication lines that allow provision to travel in and out of that nation. We pray that you would go with every word and message that travels by foot, or vehicle or thru the internet. We pray that you would provide top of the line networking and technology so that every need would be met down the line. Move the Gospel freely in that nation, among the poor, among the villages, among the oppressed and imprisoned, and among the wealthy and men of power. You have people every where Father, there are many believers, just like you had thousands of prophets prepared that Elijah did not see. Let every believer along the chain and throughout the world be equipped physically and spiritually to further the Gospel. Let it travel through every avenue, down every road, through every home, to every soul in India. In the name of Jesus.

Again, we ask that you would intervene among the legislation and courts and police and army in India. Cause all, even the lost, to show favor and kindness to your people Lord. Even when someone lashes out at them, cause someone to come and comfort them and minister to them. Let every thing that is meant to harm them or to curse them... only bring a greater blessing, let every attempt of the enemy only bring increase into the Kingdom of God. In the name of Jesus.

Once again we ask for provision. For healthy food and clean water. For open doors to preach your word, to hand out tracts, to explain and teach and disciple those that hunger and thirst for righteousness. Fellowship, community, family, love, acceptance, shelter, all good things according to your wisdom and your grace. By your hand Father and for your glory. In the name of Jesus. Amen.



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (3/27/2008 11:58:15 AM)

Father, thank you for pouring blessing and favor upon India. We ask that you cause your people to be full of joy and courage by your Spirit. Help them to accomplish great things in your name Jesus, things that are loud and vocal, and things that are quiet and only seen by a few. But let miracles prevail and let your name be lifted up as all men are drawn to you Lord. In the name of Jesus.

We pray for those that are in desperate circumstance, who cry out daily and throughout the night with no relief. We pray that you would let them feel your presence, that you would comfort them, that you would break the stronghold of whoever or whatever is oppressing them and causing them to suffer. Hear their cry Lord Jesus and intervene on their behalf, set them free, make a way of escape, let it not be more than they can bear, you have promised it in your word and we trust in you. Thank you for deliverance, thank you for rushing in to heal them and to rescue them from all evil. Empower them to endure, to be patient, to be watching and full of hope. Cause them to occupy until you come and to keep their thoughts on all that you have promised. In the name of Jesus.

It is not just another day in India. It is not a situation and simply life that people must accept. Change is real. Today is the day of salvation. We invite you into our lives, into every life in India, to perform your perfect will in all the earth. Come Lord Jesus. Come Holy Spirit. The Father has given us permission to make our requests known in the name of his son. And we ask that you give us the lost in India. We ask that change would come upon them and upon all that is in that nation that is hindering people from knowing the Love of Jesus Christ. CHANGE. Let your light shine brightly in the hearts of your people in that region, and let the love of God be evident and glaring. Let the people of India fall completely in love with Jesus Christ, and let their love for one another shake the world with a revival that is greater than the world has ever seen. In the name of Jesus.

Today is the day of salvation. Today is the day that we begin to live differently, that we turn from the sin in our own hearts, that we are made clean and refreshed and renewed. Today is a day for a right spirit and a right mind to be doers of the word and not hearers only. Cause us to change. Cause us to gain a fresh outpouring of your spirit, bring your people around the world into agreement with what the Spirit of God is doing in this hour, TODAY. We want change, make us willing to change, we want the will of God in all the earth, cause us to quickly obey in our own lives. We want unity, one mind and one accord, cause us to sacrifice all for the good of many in Christ. We are all in need of a Savior. We are all wretched without you Jesus. You are our common bond, our common need, our heart, our love, our peace, our purpose. Speak to your people today.

Move the Gospel throughout India and the world. Give dreams and visions, new and afresh to your people, not for a show... but to give guidance and to pour out conviction to die to selfishness as we live to be like Christ. Make us like Christ. We want change. We want the will of God in all the earth. Let it be so Lord. Thank you for letting us be the generation that makes a difference. Thank you for reaching into India and stirring the hearts of men and women and children to love God and to love people. Make us One. In the name of Jesus. Amen.



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (3/28/2008 12:51:57 PM)

Father, another day, a fresh new beginning, another chance to bring change, this is our prayer for your people in India. You see them today, you know their heart, you know the challenges that lay ahead of them this day, this week... you know the plans that you have to prosper them and to bless them and to perform the miraculous through their faith and obedience. Let it be so Lord. Let your perfect will be accomplished in every area of their life, not just keeping them in the palm of your hand, but setting them on a path that requires things of them for the glory of God. Giving and sacrificing in your name is what makes us like you, puts us on your team, gives us bragging rights in Christ. This is what you have done Father, this is a glimpse of the victory that you have promised, this is your strength manifested in our frailty and our humanity. You are the Almighty God, and as you empower us and enable us, we are made mighty in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. We praise our God for he is wonderful!

We pray for all those who are in government and the courts and the police and the army of India that know you as Lord and Savior. What a challenge to walk in their faith and a spirit of love in the midst of so much darkness. Protect them. Let them be invisible and undetected by the darkness that permeates their ranks, any darkness that would attempt to rise up against the plan of God in their lives. Let them love in your name Lord, freely and abundantly, without becoming a target of those in authority over them. Shield them from every attack of the enemy, break every plan of evil men to bring them harm or to hurt their families. Help them to perform their jobs with character and integrity, with wisdom and mercy, according to the leading of your Spirit and the direction of your word. There were Roman soldiers in similar positions and Scripture gave them direction. Open those passages to them and speak into their personal lives through them. Help them to not doubt themselves, help them to not doubt the God that they serve above all. In the name of Jesus.

(see Acts 23, Colossians 3, Luke 7)

Luke 3

7John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 9The axe is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire."

10"What should we do then?" the crowd asked.
11John answered, "The man with two tunics should share with him who has none, and the one who has food should do the same."
12Tax collectors also came to be baptized. "Teacher," they asked, "what should we do?"
13"Don't collect any more than you are required to," he told them.
14Then some soldiers asked him, "And what should we do?"
He replied, "Don't extort money and don't accuse people falsely—be content with your pay."

15The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John might possibly be the Christ. 16John answered them all, "I baptize you with water. But one more powerful than I will come, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

Father help the people of India to understand that it does not matter their measure of power or wealth or the lack of either, it does not matter what caste or title men have put upon them to weight them down or oppress them, whether military or medical or educators or merchant or laborer or homeless on the street... God loves them and welcomes them and cares for their well being and their families, their hurts and their joys. He will not abandon them if they call upon him. He will guide them and shepherd them and be their Father. He will cast no one out who calls upon his name, he has no favorites, and shows no partiality. He loves us equally and expects us to do the same as we love one another.

Father provision for all in need, physical and spiritual. But we ask a special anointing upon those in positions of wealth or power to day to know that their station does not exempt them from the love and blessings of God. They are equally responsible as the believer living in the street, and they are equally favored with the complete love and wisdom and guiding hand of our God. Help them to hear and to obey with all diligence, confident in his love for them and that he has not forgotten them either. Assure them that their position and their power is a gift of God to be used for his glory, to bless his people and to further the Gospel. Remove all guilt and all condemnation from their hearts and minds. Cause them to walk in all that you have called them to. Reveal their purpose to them, your plans to bless and prosper them in the spiritual as well as the physical. Cause them to be free in deed. In the name of Jesus. Amen.



joseph91 -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (3/28/2008 2:36:51 PM)

Lord, bless and raise selahgirl's fervent prayers to your mailbox! God hear her and bless her with the portion of her work for India. Amen Lord I just pray for INdia right now! God won't you pour Your Spirit into the hearts of every little boy girl man woman and elder walking the land. Jesus pour Your Spirit among you that they may all WORSHIP YOU in Spirit and in Truth and that, by Your grace, they may worship you in everthing they do. Amen Jesus hear and pour your blessings, your water, your Spirit. Amen.

Lord may every boy and girl turn their ways to honor you and bring tears to the community and show them the heart of Jesus so that they will turn as well and just worship you. That every heart may be born again with the Spirit of Christ in them and just speak Your life into existence. That every old man who hears of wacko indian traditions may hear the Truth and be set free and know and understand and comprehend and show Your fruit to You so that you will be pleased and tear at the sight your people.

Hosea 3:
19
And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.

20
I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.

21
And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;

22
And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.

23
And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (3/29/2008 11:42:40 AM)

Thanks Joseph <3

Father, we agree together for your people in India this morning. We ask that you would provide for every need, healthy food, clean water, shelter, school/discipleship supplies, teachers, laborers... meet the deepest needs of every heart in that nation, look upon all that is happening in India, upon your plans to prosper her, and let your will be done in all of heaven and the earth. We thank you Father, we praise your mighty name today and always. In the name of Jesus.

Father we ask that you would keep every door of communication and transportation open for the preaching/teaching of the Gospel. We ask that you would provide all necessary modes of transportation and perfect health for your laborers to travel and to walk and to journey where ever you deem necessary. We ask that you would provide mechanics and people gifted with their hands to make repairs and keep the equipment in excellent working condition. Bless them with skill and a heart to serve among your people in such a capacity. Provide the needed parts for the repairs, from oil filters to tires to bicycle chains to shoes to feul... whatever is needed. In the name of Jesus.

Let every avenue for communicating and teaching be opened wide. Provide computers and internet access, books, writing supplies, Bibles, cell phones, land lines, privacy when necessary, guard all messages that must remain unseen and undetected, protect your people and work your perfect plan in every area of their lives. Remove all language barriers. Send interpreters and people that understand the dialect of each village and peoples. Bring understanding across cultural barriers and beyond caste and social standings. Bridge every gap as only you can Father. In the name of Jesus.

Let the lost in India know you Lord. Let your people be effective and blessed in bringing in a harvest in your name. Let the kingdom of God be preached and let it multiply. New Births. New additions to our family. A brother. A sister. A Father. A Mother. Bring them in Lord. Let them know your love and the love of your people for them. The darkness of this world becomes so small in the light of your presence. Open their eyes to see beyond the hardship that stares them in the face. Cause them to see how very big you are Father. Help them to believe and to claim the plans that you have made to proser them. Cause them to recognize and understand your goodness and to be blessed. Thank you Lord. In the name of Jesus. Amen.



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (3/30/2008 10:52:24 AM)

Father, we pray for your people in India today. We pray for those that are lost and deceived and searching for Truth. We pray for those that are serving other gods or serving themselves, who are miserable in their sin and don't understand why. We pray for those in darkness to see the path that you have planned for them as your Spirit and your people and your Word illuminate it so clearly. Help them to have the courage to risk all for Truth, to do the impossible and unthinkable, to turn from things that have proved to be lies and idols of stone. Help them to glimpse your love for them. Help them to see and understand your sacrifice on their behalf, to realize how very much you want relationship with them... the Almighty God wants relationship with them, to be with them, to be their family, to be their God and their friend. Speak to the lost Holy Spirit in whatever manner seems wise to you, draw the lost to the saving knowledge and Grace of Jesus Christ.

We pray that you would pour out a spirit of discernment as never before among your people. Make them wise as serpents but gentle as doves according to your Word. Enable them to see thru every deception that the enemy tries to use, and cause them to react with wisdom and mercy as they are led by your Spirit. Even in the seemingly mundane or unimportant decisions, help them to discern what they should do. Give them the ability to weigh every situation with speed but without haste, to gain insight into the details without explanation or understanding, to know exactly what to do or what not to do for the good of all. In the name of Jesus.

Father, restore Hope to the hopeless today. Those that have given up or who are about to give up. Those that are weary and feel that nothing will ever change. Those that have lost confidence in anything good, those that feel that they just can't take it anymore. Intervene in their lives, in the simplest most beautiful ways, or in the miraculous, whatever it takes for them to know that someone cares... that God cares for them, and that his people care. Help them to encounter someone that truly knows you Lord, someone that will assure them that they are not alone, they will never be alone, because God sees them and has come a great distance to be with them. Give your people the words to communicate the Truth of your word that nothing will ever separate them from the love of God. They can have as much of God as they want, and nothing will ever change that. In the name of Jesus.

Thank you Lord that you are with us. Thank you that you are speaking to the people of India right now, today, in this moment. Thank you that you hear every word that we speak and that you answer in such powerful ways, not just now and then, but every time we call upon you. Your faithfulness cannot be measured, and your love is even beyond that. We love you so much, and we are humbled by your attention and your favor. Amen.

Father, we pray for India today. We pray for your people there to be blessed in every way. We pray for the lost to know you, to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and Friend. We pray that every soul in India would enter into relationship with you Father as family, one with God and one with his people. In the name of Jesus.

We pray that the nation of India will rejoice in you Lord. We ask that the many blessings of God would shine brightly past and present and future. That every soul would sense your presence and would yield to your goodness, that laughter would fill their heart, hope would fill their eyes, and praise to the Almighty God would fill their mouths. Let the sound of rejoicing be heard throughout the land of India and let all who hear it know that it is because of you Father, because you have come to us and made your love known to those bound in the darkness. Freedom. In our hearts and in our souls, we are free and nothing will ever change that. Jesus Christ has died and rose again to set us free from all guilt and condemnation. And beyond that, he has given us the power to speak it into the physical world around us in his name. He brings Salvation in so many ways, spiritually and to our physical bodies and the world around us. We believe him, and he anoints us to speak it into existence... we watch and we wait with patience and we see it manifest according to his wisdom and his mercy. Our God is great! He is worthy to be praised!

India has been bound in darkness for far too long, weighted and oppressed. We know what it is to be bound in sin, a slave to evil. We understand her testimony of life without Christ, without mercy, without hope, condemned and full of misery. We are a nation in sin as well. Her testimony has been ours for a very long time. But God came to all of us. We share a common need of the Savior of the world. He came to us and he came to her. We agree with her for our freedom and we agree with her for the freedom of her people as well. We cry out for India today. Be free in the name of Jesus Christ! Be filled with hope and light and the saving knowledge of the Almighty God, Father Son and Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus.

The people of God in India have cried out for a very long time for their people and their nation.
We join our voice with theirs, and we call upon the Almighty God.

Father let the Gospel rain upon India like a flood. Let it pour into every crack and crevice of the deepest darkness. Let the refreshing rain of your Spirit penetrate every hardened heart until it bursts forth with new life in the name of Jesus. Those full of sin and evil... let them call upon you so that they may be washed and clean and forgiven. Changed and transformed by the blood of your sacrifice, the very life of the son of God, paid to purchase their freedom and ours. Those who think it is impossible for them to change or for their circumstance to change... give them new eyes to see clearly that it is never too late as long as they are able to utter the words in their heart, "HELP ME JESUS." Let them believe. Let them call upon you Lord. Give them the strength and the courage to trust you and to call upon you.

Come to India Jesus. Hear their cries. The cries of the lost and the hurting and the oppressed. Set them free, heal their hurts, change them, transform them as your word promises, and cause them to be great in heaven and in the earth for your glory. Cause them to forgive and to love and to labor for the good of all in your name. Give them a greater purpose than they had ever dreamed, let them be satisfied and full of joy to perform every dream that has been in their heart from the day they were born. Dreams that they had given up on, dreams that they thought were dead, dreams that once seemed so far beyond them. In the name of Jesus. Help them to see that you are the one that placed those dreams in their heart so long ago, and you are the one that will walk with them and equip them so that they can live out those dreams, big and small.

Return Hope to India Father, in every area of their lives.
Return all that the enemy has robbed her of, and multiply the blessing a hundred times over.
You have called out to India for so long Father, and she cries out to you today.
Come Lord Jesus and bless her.
In your powerful and beautiful name.
Amen.

Father, thank you for your love for the people of India. Thank you that you are walking among them even now, today. We agree together that your favor would rest upon every believer, that you would hear their prayers and petitions and that you would answer with power. Let all things be just as you have promised Lord, according to your word. We trust in you. In the name of Jesus.

Pour out provision today for the poor we ask. It is another day and the needs are many. Let there be an abundance of good food and clean water and necessary supplies, and let the people know that it is a gift from God. Send your laborers to tell them about Jesus and your great love for them and their people. Let the Gospel be preached and let it be received with great joy. Spiritual food, your word, be milk and be meat to their souls as they are able to receive it. Flood that nation with Bibles and tracts and witnesses who know you Jesus. Watch over your teachers and preachers and schools in India Father. Protect them, equip them ,encourage them, supply their every need both physically and spiritually. Empower every believer as they are partakers of Truth and Change.

Father, we speak to the minds of the lost, of the atheist, of those who are deceived. We break every lying spirit and stronghold that has blinded them from the Truth of God. In the name of Jesus. The Lord rebuke you. Lord Jesus, you came to set the captive free, to heal the sick to minister to every soul and to bring them to a place of wholeness and peace. We claim your word and your will Father. Free the minds of those who are confused or who are held captive to doctrines of devils. Let the kindness of your love break every chain and let their eyes be opened. Let the blood of Christ wash them, the Spirit of God comfort and lead them, and let the word of God equip them to stand in your saving Grace with Power and Perseverance. Cause them to war not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual darkness that once held them captive. Give them a heart for their countrymen who remain in such bondage to confusion and deception. Cause them to fight to set them free in Christ. Cause them to be good soldiers according to your word, understanding that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal or physical... but the fruits of the Spirit and Prayer and Faith in the Almighty God. In the name of Jesus.

Pour out a great Faith among your people, a greater Faith than has ever been seen upon the earth. Cause them to know, let doubt be something so foreign to them, help the people of India to see and understand the Truth of Jesus Christ. Revelation of his goodness. Revelation of his person, Revelation of his love for them and for every soul on earth, every peoples, every nation, every child that he has come to reclaim as his own. We trust in you Father. We desire your will. You have told us to declare such things in this world and it would be done in the name of Jesus. We claim your will Father. We declare that the will of God be done in all the earth. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem, because when their is peace in Jerusalem it will mean that you are here. You are the bringer of peace, and in the moment that Jesus Christ returns to that city PEACE WILL RULE AND REIGN. India, your beautiful daughter, our sister, will rejoice on that day. Your people over the entire earth will rejoice. We long for the day when you rule over that city Jesus. Let the peace of Jerusalem be accomplished and fulfilled. The Spirit and the Bride say Come Lord Jesus, according to your word.

Bless your people in India Lord as they labor for your glory.
Remind them how beautiful they are. How brightly they shine in the darkness, even when things seem so black around them. Anoint their spiritual eyes to see the Light of Christ so very present in that place, in every area of their life, your angels hedged about them, your messengers laboring with all speed as they pray, your kingdom increasing bit by bit but with all certainty and finality. Thank you Father. You are our peace. You are our strength. Embrace India today, every soul, so that she knows that you have not forgotten her, that you love her with a great and everlasting love. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
