Title: By grace you have been saved through faithand that not of yourselves it is the gift of God Ephesians
1- By grace you have been saved through faithand
that not of yourselves it is the gift of God
Ephesians 28 NKJV - Team up with two people that you do not know
well. Let each tell of a time when God moved
powerfully in their life, when they didnt seek
it, deserve it or earn it. - To close out this time, let each one simply offer
thanks that God moved that way.
2- But without faith it is impossible to please
God, for he who comes to God must believe that He
is, and that He is a rewarder of those who
diligently seek Him Hebrews 116 NKJV -
- Now take a moment to describe a time when you
diligently sought Him and knew that God had
heard. Let each pray out thanksgivings for Gods
direct intervention
3- According to OT prophecy, only one born of
Davids line, marked off by the Spirits power
and resurrection could call God father. He
would be sent to save/reclaim the world. When we
pray Our Father we are declaring we are utterly
joined to him, merged/melded into his body. This
means we are joining his mission to save the
world, to take it back from the powers of
darkness - Celebrate your union with Jesusthank God that
you are joined to him, and have been given 1) the
right to call Him Father and 2) the calling to
re-claim earth from evil.
4- Our country is facing demonic attack. From our
position in Christ we have authority to rebuke
the powers and pray that God embarrass the
demons, turn their schemes upside down. Pray - For our nations capital, that it be a center of
godly legislation, - For our MPs and their calling to oversee our
country as stewards of righteousness, that God
would guide their decision-making. (Name Yours by
name) - For the Canadian judiciary, that they would
interpret the law in harmony with Gods rule. - Rebuke any and all unclean attack on the godly
unfolding of the rule of law - Pray that God embarrass the enemys schemes by
turning their temporary victories into defeat.
5- Continue to take your stand against
principalities and powers against spirit forces
of wickedness in heavenly places Eph 612 - Rebuke the evil forces behind the areas that
demonic forces have targeted in our society (and
in our movement/churches) - Unclean sexuality
- Lack of reverence of human life
- The embrace of violence to solve issues rather
than the extension of grace and forgiveness - Unbelief in Gods power in our churches
- An anti-supernatural bias in our thinking that
disbelieves in Gods power, even while
proclaiming it - Lovelessness
- Despair instead of hope in Gods power
- Prayerlessness due to unbelief...
6Pray for a) God honoring sexualityb) Reverence
for human life from conception to deathc)
forgiveness as a way of lifed) a return to the
conviction that Jesus is to be experienced as
Savior, Sanctifier, Healer and Coming King in all
of our churchese) Gifts of faith to believe God

7- I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for
those also who believe in Me through their word,
that they may all be one, even as You, Father,
are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in
Us, so that the world may believe that You sent
Me. - The glory which you have given Me, I have given
to them, that they may be one, just as We are
one I in them, and You in Me, that they may be
perfected in unity, so that the world may know
that you sent Me John 1720-23a NASB - Unity defeats the powers of Darkness and wins the
lost. - Pray for our unity
- as a movement of churches (that churches forgive
each other) - As a General Assembly (that we discern Gods
mind in our deliberations) - With other Christians from other movements
(bless their godly endeavors). - Name two congregations in prayeryour own, and
the closest non-Alliance church in your
neighborhood. Pray for their unity with each
other to reflect Gods unity for the world to
see.
8- God is invisible. Glory is not. It can be seen
wherever Gods people walk in the unity of Gods
name. - Pray for this to be realized in each of our 4 S
regions - 1) Desert Sand, 2) Asian Spice, 3) Caribbean Sun,
4) Silk Road - Let each person pick one international worker and
pray for God to move powerfully in each one. Aim
to name a worker in each of the 4 regions. Pray - For their assignment to be successful according
to Gods agenda - For their families to prosper in the Lord
- For their financial and material provision
- For their spiritual growth as they work in
difficult places - Rebuke any Satanic attack against them
- Pray for the embarrassment of any demonic attack,
turning out for Gods glory

10John 11-14 NASB
- In the beginning was the word, and the word was
with god and the word was God. He was in the
beginning with God. All things came into being
through Him and apart from Him nothing came into
being that has come into being. In Him was life
and the life was the light of men. The light
shines in the darkness and the darkness did not
comprehend it.
