Here is a sample intercessory prayer which you can use to stand in the gap for the believers in Christ that are in your city, county, state etc. Adapt it to fit your community and as the Holy Spirit leads.
On behalf of all Christians who live, work, or have a connection to Waterford and Michigan I offer the following prayers, exhortations, pledges, and decree.
Prayer: Lord, You have
sent Your Son on our behalf. Reveal and revive the reality of this truth and
the depth of it to each one of us, so we will not turn our back on You, so we
respond to Your love and sacrifice for us. Revive us and we will call upon Your
Name. O Lord God of hosts, restore us, cause Your face to shine upon us and we
will be saved. (Psalm 80:18-19). Pour out Your Spirit afresh upon us (Joel
2:28, Acts 2:39).
Pour out a desire for revival
upon us. We cry out for revival, in our own heart first but also in our homes,
families, churches, community, and all young people. Revive us first, and we
will call upon Your Name. Revive us so we will shine with Your light, and
preach the gospel of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit (Matthew
5:16, Acts 4:29-31).
Lord, don’t give us over to the
stubbornness of our own heart. We will listen to You and walk in Your ways. We
will listen to Your voice and obey You, forsaking all false idols and gods, and
anything that would stand in the way between us. (Psalm 81:9-12). Search
us, search our hearts, and our thoughts. Reveal any harmful or wicked way in us.
Lead us in Your way, and we will follow (Psalm 139:23-24). Admonish us
and show us what stands between You and us. We repent of any and all pride,
selfishness, and sin. We denounce all spirits of religion, antichrist,
witchcraft and any other demonic spirits. We reject anything that comes between
You and us. You alone are our God.
Pray more as the Lord leads…
Exhortation to the people: Oh
people of God, listen to Him. Walk in His ways and He will quickly subdue your
enemies and turn His hand against your adversaries (Psalm 81:13-14). Believers in Christ and seekers of truth, respond to God’s
call to listen to Him and walk in His ways! Turn your heart back to your first
love (Revelation 2:4). Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will
be saved, and your household—your families, your children. (Acts 16:31).
Exhort more as the Lord leads…
On behalf of all believers in
Jesus Christ in Waterford and Michigan I give the following pledge. Holy Father, as a
believer in Christ Jesus, I come out from among the world and separate myself
to You. I will not touch what is unclean, and You welcome me, and all those who
do the same. You are Father to me, and I am your son/daughter. (2
Corinthians 6:17-18).
I will love You with all my
heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:29-30). I will obey Your
commandment to love one another even as You have loved me. (John 13:34), and
I
will love my neighbor as myself (Mark 12:31) without showing partiality
or favoritism. I will love my brothers and sisters in Christ as You have loved me (John 13:34). I offer my works to You, as well as my faith (James 2), and
wash my robes in the blood of the Lamb, making them white (Rev 7:14,
Rev.19:7, Rev. 3:4-5).
Pledge more as the Lord leads…
Decree: Thanks be to God
who always leads us in triumph in Christ and manifests through us the sweet
aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place. We are a fragrance of Christ to
God among both the saved and perishing. (2 Corinthians 2:14-15). Our
lights and works are shining to glorify God (Matthew 5:16). God’s people
are returning to Him! The prodigals are coming home!
Decree more as the Lord leads…
