DAY 14 – February 26-Walking under Leadership and Authority
40 Day Prayer Journey to Life Transformation
We have being praying for a spirit of repentance in all areas of life. First, for a week we sought the Lord in repentance in our relationship with God. Last week we prayed about our relationships in our family. Today and for a few days we will pray about how do we function together as a body of Christ-worshipping, serving and loving as one.
Scriptures: Mt: 8: 5-13, 28: 18-20; Rom 13:1-7; 1 Pet. 5:1-11
Repent: Of ways in which we have rejected Godly authority; of presuming personal authority that does not line up with what the Word of God states about the order of authority in the church; of speaking evil of church authority and leadership.
Meditate, pray and write down other areas for which you need to repent.
Pray:
• Pray for God’s divine or order to be established in righteousness, truth and justice within the church and in our local congregations.
• For God to raise up men and women of integrity, faith and love to places of spiritual authority throughout the church and the city.
• For a revival of biblically based Holy Ghost directed of God’s governmental order in the church
• Pray for Pastors and those in spiritual leadership.
• Pray that churches will become houses of prayer where we truly seek the Lord about everything.
DAY 15 – February 27- Walking In Authority
40 Day Prayer Journey to Life Transformation
We have being praying for a spirit of repentance in all areas of life. First, for a week we sought the Lord in repentance in our relationship with God. Last week we prayed about our relationships in our family. Today and for a few days we will pray about how we function together as a body of Christ-worshipping, serving and loving as one. How do we handle the authority God has given each of us in the body of Christ? Do we walk in integrity and maturity of character? Do we exercise our spiritual gifts in love?
Scriptures: Luke 9: 1-6; 10: 1:1-12; Acts 1:8; 2 Corinthians 12:9-10; 13:10
Repent: Of walking in the world’s expression of authority rather than in God’s way of humility, servanthood and submission; of walking in self-proclaimed authority rather than in the authority that comes from Jesus Christ and according to his appointment or assignment; of trusting in personal authority, skills and power rather than in the power of the Holy Ghost working in us.
Do : Meditate, pray and write down other areas for which you need to repent.
Pray:
1. Praise God for the authority and power He has given to us in Him.
2. Confess the times you have substituted man’s knowledge and way of exercising authority for God’s vision and way for walking in authority.
3. Pray for forgiveness and understanding of God’s divine order and way for walking in authority under God first and then for those who God position us under their care and then authority in which God has given by assignment and apportionment by grace..
4. Pray for a release of godly authority for all believers to walk victoriously over the wiles of the enemy.
5. Pray for leaders and the body of Christ will walk in Christlike character that will encourage and edify others, rather than cause evil ways to seek into the body of Christ and discouragement.
6. Ask God to increase your fervency to seek Him in the exercise of your God given authority and in all things.
7. Pray that leaders in your church will not allow programs and strategies to become idols, replacing their ability to hear the heart of God.
8. Pray for greater discernment for false prophets and false doctrine and teachings in messages.
