Prayer Request Prayer Diaries 2016 ”January” Prayer Diary for January 2016 Praying the Bible Bible Readings and Prayer Points for Individual and Church Spiritual Growth The acts of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers (4) Acts chapters 14-18 These chapters cover some very significant aspects of the leading of the Holy Spirit in the life of the church. Paul and Barnabas complete their first missionary, church-planting journey and return to their sending church at Antioch, from where they had been sent out and commissioned after that memorable meeting when the Holy Spirit had prophetically separated them both for this new outreach. It is important to note that they held themselves accountable to their sending church and reported to them all that they had seen God doing. True apostles are not a law unto themselves but hold themselves accountable, since there are times, as human beings, they also can make mistakes (Galatians 2:11-21) Acts chapter 15 marks a truly significant decision that would determine the whole of the future direction of the church. The question was: should gentiles be required to obey the Law of Moses in addition to accepting Christ? After an intense debate they concluded that a person is saved by grace through faith in Christ alone. No one can be saved by their works. Having been saved by faith the believer does good works as an outworking of his or her salvation and pursuit of a life of holiness, but nothing can add to the finished work of Christ on the cross. In making that decision the church assembly were able to say, “It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us…” They had been guided in their conclusion by the Spirit of God. This has profound implications for any who would seek to add religious practices of any nature and to any degree, to the simple pursuing of a relationship with God through faith in Christ. Chapter 16:6-10 is a very important passage regarding the leading and guiding of the Holy Spirit in evangelism and church planting. Paul sensed in his spirit he should be planting a church in the Roman province of Asia (today western Turkey) but the Holy Spirit kept preventing him. Finally he realised that, at this time, the Lord wanted him to cross the Adriatic Sea into Europe and plant a church there. In so doing he began what would be such a move of the Holy Spirit that in time would result in the whole of the continent of Europe turning from paganism to Christ. The first European church was planted in Philippi amid suffering but with great signs and wonders. Paul and Silas continued to plant a number of other churches on the European continent. A few years later the Holy Spirit would guide him to return to Asia, where he planted the church in Ephesus, which would rapidly grow to become one of the most significant of its time. On his first visit there he had indeed heard right about pioneering a church, but it was all about the right timing of God. Then was not God’s timing but later was. A good lesson for us to learn if we want to be fruitful in and for God. As we pray through these chapters this month, we are continuing to ask the Holy Spirit to guide us in all our ways, in our daily life, to empower us and to be fruitful because we are continuing in his perfect will. 1st – Acts 14:1-2 Effective preaching 1.

This is the same Jesus who told his church to go into all the world, preach the gospel, drive out demons, heal the sick and use the gifts of the Holy Spirit, speaking in new tongues. He also told his followers that the things he was doing we would do also. Jesus did not simply instruct his followers what they should do but he modelled that lifestyle and the ministry he wanted his church to take up and follow. And this is made possible because the Holy Spirit came and on the Day of Pentecost and thereafter, filled willing, expectant and asking believers with his power to move in the gifts of the Spirit to accomplish the same things they had seen Jesus doing. As we read and pray through these chapters we are reading things that God wants us to do also now in the 21st century. Mankind’s knowledge has vastly increased in the past 2,000 years, the world has advanced greatly technologically and the world has become a small place through modern transport and communications. But despite all that, two things have never changed: God and human nature. God remains the perfect, holy and righteous Judge of all. Man, despite his greater knowledge and advances still has the same corrupt heart as he had since the fall at the beginning of time. His knowledge and power merely makes it much easier to sin on a greater scale. The age-old problem remains: mankind is separated from a holy and righteous God by his sinful nature and nothing he can do can alter that fact. The cure has not changed either: only the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ can change his heart and bring him back into a relationship with the God from who he is separated by that fallen nature. And so although the way we present the gospel may change to suit a modern generation, its content stays resolutely the same. We must preach the message of salvation through the cross, through the death and resurrection of Jesus and that there is no other way a person can be saved and be prevented from eternal separation from God and hell, except through the death and resurrection of Jesus and faith in him alone. And so as church we do what Jesus did – preach the gospel, aware that people’s reactions will differ. Some will have a stony heart that will not listen, others will accept but fall away because of little spiritual depth or because of the cares and worried so this world. However, others will receive the gospel and will see a great harvest of souls being saved. And we are to go out, not relying on our own intellectual ability, which will achieve little but rather in the power of the Holy Spirit. As believers we are saved through being born of the Holy Spirit. But in order to go out in power we need the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the gifts he gives us to demonstrate to the world the supernatural life of Christ. Together with those gifts we need to exercise the faith and courage to use them. This month as we pray, we are asking God to help us be the believers he has called us to be: ones that are witnesses, sharers of the gospel, those who can disciple others and ones who can demonstrate to a sceptical and largely unbelieving world that Jesus is risen from the dead, is powerfully at work in the lives of believers who can demonstrate supernatural power that points people to Jesus and the truth of the Bible. A church in revival will do all those things 1st Mark 4:1-3 Sowing the seed 1. Help us to sow the seed of the gospel in season and out of season, O Lord 2. Give us wisdom and creative ideas for sharing the gospel with other, we pray 3. Cause all our individual evangelism and witnessing to be fruitful, O God 4. Open new doors of opportunity to us to effectively share the gospel with people from every walk of life, we pray 5. So revive us, O Lord, that our lives are continuous acts of witnessing because Christ is seen in us 2nd Mark 4:4-8 Reaching out to all people 1. Anoint us to find favour in witnessing to all those who have hearts currently hardened against the gospel, we pray 2. Move powerfully upon those in our midst who currently have little depth in their spiritual roots so that they may develop into spiritually mature men and women 3. Shake out of their complacency those in our midst whose walk with you is currently shallow, O God, so that they walk with you in fear and trembling 4. Cause those in our midst whose attention is so on their circumstances and problems that they are failing to look to you, O Lord and re-direct their focus to you 5. So revive us, Holy Spirit, that we see a great wholehearted turning to you of people of all levels of spirituality and none 3rd Mark 4:9 Listen to what God is saying 1. Give us ears that are willing to listen to you, Holy Spirit, and a desire to obey, we pray 2.

Give us a passion to read your Word and help us, Holy Spirit, to understand all we read 4. Help us learn and put into practice everything we hear through the preaching and teaching of your Word, O God 5.

We pray you would strengthen all those in our midst whose faith is being shaken for whatever reason and cause them to grow to spiritual strength 2. Cause all those new believers who have recently given their lives to Christ to quickly grow from spiritual infancy to spiritual maturity 3. Cause our children to come to know you at an early age, O Lord so that even while still young their faith may grow unshakeably strong 4. Protect all our youth from the godlessness of the world they live in and instead of being led by the world cause them to lead others regarding the things of Christ 5. So move in revival amongst us, Holy Spirit, that those currently weak in faith will be transformed into spiritual giants, we pray 6th Mark 4:20 Producing fruit 1. Cause our hearts to be good soil for producing all an abundant harvest of righteousness, we pray 2. Cause each of us to bring others to Christ and to the fellowship in church, we pray 3. Prosper all our discipleship cells so that they multiply, O Lord 4. Cause each of us to grow in in spiritual maturity and true discipleship, we pray 5. So revive your church, Holy Spirit, that we see a continual spiritual harvest in our midst 7th Mark 4:21-23 Openly proclaiming Christ 1. Make us always bold and unashamed of our allegiance to Christ, we pray 2. Give us wisdom as when and how to share the gospel but enable us to take advantage of every opportunity to do so, O Lord 3. In all the preaching and teaching in every area of the church, may we always proclaim the gospel without compromise, we ask 4. From the youngest to the oldest in the church may we be known as people who follow Jesus in all we do 5. Let your church arise in all boldness in every area of our society, so we may see you move powerfully through us, Holy Spirit, we ask 8th Mark 4:24-25 Not neglecting our responsibilities 1.

As we serve you faithfully, O Lord, may we be able to be given, and grow more effective in, more responsibilities that you give us 5.

As we make ourselves available to you, O God, use us in all manner of unexpected ways 5. So revive your church, Holy Spirit that we see a revival with people flocking to come to know Christ in our midst 10th Mark 4:30-34 Seeing God’s kingdom grow 1. Holy Spirit, cause the numbers being added to your church to grow rapidly this year, we pray 2. Cause there to be a deep growth in the depth of our spiritual lives, we ask 3. So move upon and amongst us, Holy Spirit, that we have a deep desire to grow in holiness 4.

Build you church amongst us, O Lord and let not the gates of hell prevail against it 11th Mark 4:35-39 Overcoming life’s storms 1. Knowing that we have not been promised a trouble-free life as followers of Jesus, cause us to sail through every storm that life throws against us, we pray 2. When things are seemingly not going well for us, give us the faith that prevails knowing you work all things together for good for those who love you, Lord 3. Use all of life’s storms to help us grow strong spiritually, going from one level to another in you, O God 4. Enable us always to resist the devil so we may see him flee from us, O Lord 5. So revive us, Holy Spirit, that we can face every storm in life with a faith that can command it to be still in Jesus’ name 12th Mark 4:40-41 Faith that overcomes 1. Give us a faith that can move mountains, Holy Spirit, we ask 2. Cause us never to doubt you, O Lord, even when we do not understand, but rather to move forward in faith 3.

For all those in the church who remain in any form of ungodly or immoral practices, confess, repent and turn to you, O Lord to be totally free from such practices 4. Cause all those in the church who need deliverance, recognise their need and come for ministry to be set free, we pray 5. So move in revival amongst us, Holy Spirit, that people cry out to you in repentance and see themselves set free immediately from every spiritual bondage 14th Mark 5:6-8 The authority of Jesus 1. Cause us always to remember, Lord Jesus, that you are not just our Saviour but our Lord, whom we should honour with total obedience 2.

This was so that when the disciples had later been baptised in the Holy Spirit and were thus spiritually equipped with the gifts and power of the Holy Spirit, they could continue to do the things they had seen Jesus doing. Since human nature has not changed from the beginning of time and nor has God’s power, although we live in a different, more technically advanced generation, the issues with people remain the same. So Jesus is opposed by religious people, such as the Pharisees and teachers of the Law, who are sticklers for outward religious practices but whose hearts, Jesus said, were far from God. The belief that a person is good enough for God by the doing of good works through religion, remains a major barrier to many people today from recognising their need to repent and be saved by faith in Christ alone. As we read through these chapters we see Jesus continuing to move from one person or situation to another, effortlessly moving in all the gifts of the Holy Spirit, meeting those needs. The faith in Jesus of a mother whose daughter is demonised, enables her to see the girl experience complete freedom through Christ. To his disciples, who witness Jesus delivering a boy from demonisation, he reminds them of their need to stay close to God. If they want to move in the same power, they must heed the word: “This kind can only come out by prayer and fasting.” Jesus is also seen here healing the deaf, the blind and the mute. Out of compassion he multiplies the loaves to feed, on this occasion, four thousand. And yet the all-important focus is on his impending death and resurrection. Peter, inspired by the Holy Spirit, makes a confession that Jesus is the Christ. Shortly afterwards, he then, this time influenced by Satan, tries to persuade Jesus not to go to the cross. It demonstrates how careful we need to be, and remain on guard and fully alert, for temptation can come from the devil at any time, especially after a spiritually successful moment. Three of the disciples are privileged to witness the transfiguration of Jesus on the mountain top, where, for a brief moment, his pre-incarnate glory shines through. This is a glimpse of the glory that each believer will share when we are in the eternal state with Jesus – surely a great motivation to press on faithfully and endue through this current lifetime. This passage ends with Jesus warning that hell is a very real place and that all sin must be cut out of our lives, so we can truly be the salt in a decaying generation that we are intended to be. As we pray through these chapters we are reminded of Jesus words, “I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these because I am going to the Father.” As we pray through these chapters we are asking the Lord to help us do all he wants us to do in the power of the Holy Spirit. 1st Mark 7:1-6 Hearts close to God 1.

So revive your people, Holy Spirit that we can bring effective change in our ungodly generation ”April” Prayer Diary for April 2016 Praying the Bible Bible Readings and Prayer Points for Individual and Church Spiritual Growth Led by the Holy Spirit (3) Acts chapters 19-23 In these chapters we see the apostle Paul have experiences that move from one extreme to another and yet he was conscious that whatever was happening to him was in the perfect will of God. This passage begins with an amazing ministry at the city of Ephesus which lasted two years, which was an unusually long time for him to remain in one place. But this was a very significant city and God was about to build a very significant church here, whose influence would spread all around. As often with God, a great work starts very small. So Paul finds just 12 men who have believed in Jesus through hearing the teaching of John the Baptist. Having not yet heard about the Person and work of the Holy Spirit, Paul leads them into the baptism of the Holy Spirit and they speak in tongues and prophesy. This marks the beginning of a very fruitful time of evangelism as many come to hear Paul teaching daily in a lecture hall he had hired. So much so that, “…all the Jews and Greeks who lived in the province of Asia (nowadays western Turkey) heard the word of the Lord.” Acts 19:10 Things were to get even better as, “God did extraordinary miracles through Paul, so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them.” The end of this time of Paul’s ministry concluded with a great revival as, “many of those who believed now came and openly confessed their evil deeds. A number who had practiced sorcery brought their scrolls together and burned them publically. When they calculated the value of the scrolls the total came to 50,000 drachmas. [Today’s value would be the equivalent to several million pounds]In this way the word of the Lord spread widely and grew in power.” I remember standing in this square when visiting the extensive ruins of Ephesus, where many of the ancient buildings are still standing, and praying with my wife that the revival experienced there we would see also. God never changes. “Jesus is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Hebrews 13:8. Already we see many amazing healings through the use of prayer cloths, just as happened at Ephesus. God can also bring many confessing their sins and burning the bridges of their old lives behind them. Paul’s ministry in Ephesus ends in a riot with 25,000 people assembling in the open-air amphitheatre and shouting because so many people had accepted Christ in the city that no one was buying idols any more. The amphitheatre, carved out of the hillside is still there to this day and I stood there recalling that scene. From Ephesus Paul moves to Jerusalem where he is fully conscious a very different experience awaits him. He feels certain he is in the will of God even though prophetic friends try to stop him going to Jerusalem as imprisonment awaited him. Maybe Paul was mindful of how God had told him at his conversion through Ananias that Paul would speak to the gentiles and their kings. This imprisonment would culminate in Paul being arraigned before kings and Roman governors and finally being transported to Rome to appear before Caesar, the most powerful gentile in the world at that time and giving a defence of the gospel. So whether in the heat of revival, seeing miracles and thousands getting saved, or in the coldness of the prison cell, Paul knew that his life, times and ministry were in the hands of God. From his prison cell he would later write to the Philippians, “I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation.” Philippians 4:12. Being in the centre of God’s will no matter what that may entail was the most important thing. As we pray through the prayer points this month we are praying that we will see the same move of God in miracles and salvations but also bearing in mind that we must be prepared to be in any situation that proved to be the will of God for our lives. 1st – Acts 19:1-7 Baptism in the Holy Spirit 1.

He would spend a total of four years in captivity. What a contrast in experiences. Where was God in all of this? Well, only God knows the full purposes of this sudden change of fortunes in Paul’s life, but a number of significant things are apparent. Although Paul was born a Jew, he also inherited Roman citizenship and it was the Roman legal system that God used to bring Paul to preach in places he would otherwise never have been able to. A Roman citizen had certain privileges which Paul used when required. So when he and Silas, who was also had Roman citizenship, were illegally beaten without trial in Philippi, the magistrates very quickly released them from prison when discovering their status. His Roman citizenship also gave Paul the privilege of appealing to the highest authority in the Empire – Caesar himself. As a result of his captivity Paul would be given the opportunity to preach the gospel to significant rulers in places of high authority. These included the Roman governors Felix and Festus, King Herod Agrippa and his wife and the Roman Emperor Nero, the most powerful man in the world at that time. Along his way, he would also preach to all the sailors and soldiers on the ship that was transporting him to Rome, to the inhabitants of Malta where they were shipwrecked and to all the Jews in Rome who came to visit him where he was held under house arrest chained to a Roman soldier. In addition, whilst in prison Paul wrote some of the books of the New Testament. So he wrote the letters to the Ephesians, the Philippians, the Colossians and to Philemon. He also tells us in his letter to the church at Philippi how his imprisonment was inspiring hitherto timid christians to speak out boldly and courageously for Christ. He also relates how the gospel has been made clear to all the soldiers throughout the barracks. How? Paul had to be chained to a Roman soldier all the time. The soldiers changed shifts every 8 hours. So it meant that three times a day a different soldier was chained to Paul. What would Paul talk about to his ‘captive audience’ – the man on the other end of the chain? Of course, he told them about Christ. And so after time, the whole contingent of soldiers individually heard the gospel. His time in prison was not a wasted time, but perfectly in the will of God who had significant purposes for the opportunities Paul’s incarceration would present. The book of Acts ends abruptly with Paul still awaiting trial. From other parts of the New Testament it is clear that Paul’s appeal was successful and he was subsequently released to spend a few more years of ministry in different countries. He was finally arrested for one last time, on which occasion he was then executed. He wrote his last letter, the 2nd letter to Timothy, where he makes it clear he is about to die. But he had fought the good fight, finished the race and kept the faith and was looking forward expectantly to meeting Jesus. As we pray through these chapters we are praying that we would always stay fully in the will of God, without being shaken by any storm of life, so that he can use us to point others to Christ, in any and every situation no matter how our circumstances may change. 1st – Acts 24:1-9 Showing grace in difficult situations 1.

In times of trial may we also experience your joy, O Lord, which also comes from our relationship with you and not from present circumstances, whether good or bad 5.

Jesus begins by calling them to the most important role in life, which is allowing our lives to be led of his Holy Spirit in our service to him and pointing others to him as their Saviour. So he calls his disciples to be fishers of men. He tells them that the population of this world is like a field which is ripe and ready to be harvested but there are few workers. So they must go into this harvest fields and also seek others through prayer and encouragement to also offer themselves for such priceless service for the Lord and for the sake of a lost people. He has given his authority to his church and the commission to preach the gospel, heal the sick and raise the dead. His Holy Spirit is within us to perform the miraculous works of God. Freely we have received and so freely we are to give. As his ministry progresses, the disciples of Jesus are taught they must feed the people – that is, both spiritually and physically, when necessary. The gospel encompasses all the needs of mankind, body, soul and spirit. They watch him walking on water with Peter initially also walking on water all the times he keeps his eyes on Jesus, but sinking once he looks at the physical storm rather than the Creator of the elements. The disciples are seeing the power of Christ and yet still struggling with the lesson he trying to teach them that the things Jesus is doing they can do also. He tells them that he will build his church and gates of hell will not overcome it. It takes time for them to grasp the enormity of the realisation that Jesus wants his followers to move in the same Holy Spirit power that he is demonstrating to them. But step by step they begin to understand. However, the journey of following Jesus is not without its sacrifices and the disciple of Christ must be willing to take up his or her cross to follow him. There is also the realisation of the reality of the spiritual warfare the follower of Jesus is engaged in. There will be times when Satan will desire to sift them as wheat, but we are to remember that Christ, our great Intercessor is always at the right hand of the Father interceding for us so that we will not fail. This shows the life of a true disciple will not always be easy, but the rewards are very great. And at times we may have ‘mountain-top’ experiences, which are times when we are full of the ecstatic joy of the Lord, when everything seems to be going well. But for every mountain there is a valley and we have to be prepared for the low valley experiences also, as part and parcel of lives following Jesus. But just as he is with us on the mountain top, so he is also with us in the valleys. If, Jesus tells us, our faith in God is like that of a little child, who can trust without doubting and questioning and if we can also live a lifestyle of forgiveness towards others, we can see a significant move of God. But it is the resurrection Jesus that finally helps the penny to drop and galvanise them into the action Jesus has called his followers to. With the infilling of the Holy Spirit all the resurrection power of Jesus is available to his followers if they choose the lifestyle and life choices that enable to Holy Spirit to flow through them, doing the things Jesus has called us to do. So as we pray through these prayer points this month, we are seeking to draw closer to Jesus, to believe him without doubting and to fulfill the purpose in life he has called us to as his followers, as his ambassadors, salt and light, in reaching others with the gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit to see their lives changed and transformed like ours have been. 1st Luke 5:1-7 – Complete obedience to Jesus 1.

O Lord, may our relationship with you be so close that your perfect love casts out all our fear 2. Deepen our trust in you, O Lord so that we may not succumb to needless fear or worry 3. Enable us always to act positively in the knowledge that “greater is he who is within us than he that is in the world” we pray 4.

We take authority right now over any spirit of fear troubling us and command it to leave now in Jesus’ name! 8th Matthew 14:27-30 – Walking on water 1. Lord, help us to truly understand and put into practice that with God all things are possible, not just in the Bible times, but right now 2.

In times of storm, teach us to keep our eyes fixed on you and not on the elements raging around us, O Lord 4. Lord, to see your hand of power, enable us to exercise the faith within us, even if it is as small as a mustard seed 5. Cause us to grow in faith, in order to exercise the gifts of your Holy Spirit more and more, we pray 9th Matthew 14:31-36 – No doubting 1. Lord, forgive us whenever we sin by unbelief and enable us to learn to grow in faith 2.

Holy Spirit, help us guard our minds against doubts put in our minds by wicked spirit powers, we pray 4.

Build your church through us, Lord Jesus and let no power of darkness hinder us 5. Rise up in the UK, restore and build your church here once again, we pray 12th Matthew 16:21-33 – The folly of saying ‘no’ to God 1. Lord, help us never to say “no” to you 2.

Keep us close to you, O Lord so that we may keep our minds on the things of God and not the things of men 4.

Let God arise in our midst and all his enemies be scattered! ”July” Prayer Diary for July 2016 Praying the Bible Bible Readings and Prayer Points for Individual and Church Spiritual Growth The Disciples’ walk with Jesus (2) Various passages from the gospels of Mark & John We continue this month to follow the disciples’ walk with Jesus, this time as found in extracts from the gospels of Mark and John. Mark’s gospel is generally reckoned to be a record of the teachings of Peter, since Mark helped Peter by acting as his interpreter. He focusses largely on the actions of Jesus. John wrote his gospel when he was an old man and concentrates much more on the spiritual teachings of Jesus not found in the other three gospels. So Mark shows Jesus teaching his disciples by example to preach the gospel, heal the sick and cast out demons and ends by recording Jesus’ commission to his church to ‘go into all the world!’ to continue this ministry. Mark also records the importance to Jesus of his prayer life, where, even in the midst of a busy time of ministry he would seek to be alone to prayer. John records some of the teachings of Jesus that listeners found hard to accept, such as, ‘I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread he will live forever. This bread is my flesh which I give for the life of this world’ John 6:51 and ‘Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life and I will raise him up at the last day.’ A true disciple is someone who has received Jesus fully into their life to follow him with total commitment, such commitment being symbolically portrayed in the taking of communion – an outward sign of the reality that Jesus is within. It is John who records Jesus demonstrating to his disciples that they are to be servants not masters. At the Last Supper he washes their feet by way of example. And he goes on to explain they must fully remain in him if they are to maintain their spiritual lives. Otherwise they will be like branches that wither and die. But if they do remain in him and allow his words to remain and be lived out in them, there is no limit to what they can see God achieve through them. That is because of the power of the Holy Spirit who would soon come and live within them. Being human they would fail and Peter failed Jesus spectacularly at the crucifixion. But there is always a second change for those who truly repent and are will to be transformed. Jesus question to Peter at the Lake of Galilee focussed not on Peter’s failings but on the key issue: ‘Peter do you truly love me?’ If the answer to that question was genuinely, ‘yes’ then Jesus could take up a failure and transform him into the significant leader Peter was to become. John concludes his gospel with Jesus emphasising the most import part of a disciples’ lives – minister the gospel in all its fullness to people, ‘Feed my sheep’. Oh, and don’t keep looking at what God’s will may be for other people but rather concentrate on doing God’s will for your individual life. So as we pray through the prayer points this month, we are seek to be filled with Christ and to remain in him so he can use us fully according to his will and purpose for our lives as a church and as individuals 1st Mark 1:14-20 – Following Christ 1.

The Lord had called them to ‘be holy because I am holy’ Leviticus 11:45. But they had insisted on becoming like the pagans around them, following their ungodly practices and worshipping their gods. Having forfeited the protection and blessing of God, the consequence was a nation that was in total defeat, overcome by nations all around it. The glorious days of Moses and Joshua, where God had demonstrated his power, glory and protection of the nation had long gone. Their circumstances were grievous and the land became lawless as everyone did what they saw as right in their own eyes. The whole sorry story of a nation that has forsaken the one and only true God is recorded in the Book of Judges. It shows a society that had completely collapsed into a moral abyss, with the nation consequently turning on itself in civil war. It still outwardly had the institutions of religion but corruption had wormed its way into the heart of the priesthood, where there continued the outward trappings of religion but without the manifest presence of God. The only bright spot was a small but remnant of godly people as exemplified in the story of Ruth and Boaz It was a such a desperate time as this that God raised up a boy who would grow to be a saviour and point the nation back to their God, finally rising to its highest point under King David, whom Samuel was later to anoint for that purpose. But not before witnessing the disappointment of King Saul who started well but ended badly – surely an example we need to be careful not to follow. Samuel, of course, was the answer to the heartfelt prayers of a godly woman, Hannah, who, by dedicating Samuel for service to the Lord, self-sacrificially gave back to God her greatest love in her long-awaited son, I suppose much like Abraham had done with Isaac. Raised in the Tabernacle surrounded by the priests, Samuel was not corrupted by them but rather was used by God to speak out about the ungodliness that Eli the priest had failed to restrain in his immoral sons. The nation had to undergo a long season of defeat as the consequences of sin before God helped Samuel, the last of the judges and the first of the long line of prophets to come, to turn the nation’s spiritual life from rock-bottom to a slow rise upwards. We live in similar times to those days of Samuel. Our nation has forsaken the God it served for centuries and is now experiencing the moral collapse that will soon be followed by a societal collapse unless it returns to God and godliness. As we pray through the prayer points for this month, we are seeking God to intervene in our backslidden nation and to help us be the instruments of spiritual change. 1st – 1 Samuel 1:1-6 Praying for family harmony 1.

Fill this place with the all fullness of your shekinah glory, O God ”September” Prayer Diary for September 2016 Praying the Bible Bible Readings and Prayer Points for Individual and Church Spiritual Growth The servant of the Lord (2) 1 Samuel chapters 5-8 Samuel ministered over a long and distinguished ministry as both a judge and a prophet, guiding the nation out of the disaster of its long period of backsliding during the period recorded in the Book of Judges. He had averted a major conquering of the nation by the ever-present threat from the Philistines. He himself was a godly and fearless man of God, careful to walk in all the ways of the Lord. The people had to learn that following the Lord was not like the religions of the nations around them. These had their gods represented by physical idols. Israel had no such things. But the Ark of the Covenant was treated by the backslidden Israelites as a talisman or good-luck charm, which would ensure their success if they carried out into battle. So God allowed the Ark to be captured. But God would not let his name be besmirched by the Philistines and fateful occurrences followed those who abused the Ark until it was returned back to Israel. There were some deficiencies even in the life of such a distinguished prophet of God as Samuel, however. Maybe it was because of his regular travelling away from home on his duties as a leader that caused an aspect of failure in his raising of his children. Perhaps he was away from home too long at a time. Whatever it was, his own sons did not grow up holding on to the same values of integrity as their father. They abused their privileged position as judges to accept bribes and so pervert the cause of justice. This had a dire knock-on effect for the nation The people were put off with this aspect of corrupt leadership and so used it as an opportunity to call for a king to be appointed to lead the nation. Their stated reason was, ‘Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and go before us and fight our battles’ 1 Samuel 8:20. Samuel’s anger at this idea lay in the fact that Israel was not supposed to be like the other nations, but wholly different. God was their King; he would lead and guide them and fight their battles, if only they would keep faith and stay true to him. But the people would not listen, even when Samuel pointed out a long list of corrupt practices that a king would be able to engage in, to the detriment of the individuals and the nation as a whole, which would make any current corruption in his sons pale into insignificance. The people were adamant, so God told Samuel to let them have their way. In the laws of Moses God had already made provision for the time when a king would be appointed. God had such a king in mind – it was David. But now was not the time and the people had acted precipitately. King Saul would start with much promise but end under a dark cloud. As we pray through this passage of Scripture we are praying for the church to rise above and remain unbesmirched by the backslidings of our nation and instead to seek the true God living out the life of Christ in all its power in this ungodly generation 1st – 1 Samuel 5:1-5 Every knee must bow 1.

He comes highly recommended with apparently all the qualities that people wanted to see in their king. So, he was outwardly very impressive, being unnaturally tall which made him a commanding figure for his own people and intimidating for his enemies. He also begins with a very impressive character. He had no ambition that drove him to seek the highest position. He was naturally shy and with little desire for the public limelight. When the moment came for him to be introduced to Israel he got stage fright and hide himself away from public sight. But when required to do so he rose to the challenge. He could have done so well. It was clear that the Lord was revealing the destiny he had for Saul through a series of prophetic experiences he had. He was looking for his father’s donkeys but through that act God, in fact, led him to the prophet Samuel, who revealed God’s chosen destiny over Saul’s life. God provided all that Saul needed to be a good leader of the Israelite nation. Samuel wrote out instructions for how a king was to function, under God, within the structure for the nation which served the Lord as its God. These were explained to the people and to Saul and a copy of those instructions were kept in the national archives so they could be referenced at any time. Not only that, the new king had to guide him the laws of Moses as set out in the Pentateuch, that is the first five books of the Bible. In addition God anointed Saul with the Holy Spirit. His heart was then changed. He prophesied. He received a boldness that turned him from a shy man into an impressive leader and army commander, inspiring his people to rise up against oppressors and overcome them. This all demonstrates how God has a personal plan for each of us. If we choose to find it, to follow it and remain in it we can know a life successfully doing what God has put us on this earth to do. But we like Saul, always have a choice. Many people, of course, choose not to either seek for or follow God’s plan for their lives, but choose their own destiny. All the time Saul was walking closely with God he achieved great success. The same is true with us. As we pray through the prayer points for this month we are asking God to help us to walk perfectly in his will and to develop our character and the spiritual depth of our lives so that we can make the full impact and achieve successfully in this world all that God has planned for us to do 1st – 1 Samuel 9:1-2 Making a good impression -

He got off to what seemed at first to be a promising start and was blessed to have such a competent general in his son Jonathan, who not only was a brave soldier, but crucially, also a deeply spiritual man whose heart was wholly after God. But, unfortunately, it soon became apparent that his father tended to look more at the physical events in front of his eyes and make judgments based on human wisdom alone, rather than trusting in God’s word. So Samuel was incensed when Saul had the audacity to intrude into the priestly role of offering sacrifices, which God had reserved strictly for the priests and Levites. His excuse that Samuel was late arriving and his soldiers were deserting him in fear at facing the Philistine army met with little sympathy from Samuel. Saul’s actions demonstrated what was in his heart and the shallowness of his respect for the God who had appointed him to the privileged position of king. As later history would show, the spiritual state of the king, as the nation’s leader, set the tone for the spiritual state of the nation. When the king was a good spiritual example as well as being the constitutional head of state, the spiritual life of the nation was strong. When he was not, the reverse was true. It marked the beginning of the end for Saul. His failure to walk closely with God resulted in Saul now continuing to make some bad decisions with disastrous consequences. In the heat of battle he makes a bizarre oath forbidding any of his soldiers from eating. So, being fatigued by the battle, they quickly become weakened and unable to achieve a more decisive victory that would otherwise have been possible. Furthermore, when Jonathan, unaware of the king’s order, ate some honey he found in the woods, Saul would have killed him – his best general – if the troops had not intervened and saved his life from the king’s folly. But still Saul failed to learn from his mistakes. When ordered to kill all the Amalekites as God’s judgment on the nation for their bloodthirsty, unprovoked attacks on Israel as they were fleeing Egypt, Saul fails to carry out the instructions in full. The excuses by which he seeks to justify himself and his actions are given short shrift by Samuel and God and Samuel makes this profound and insightful statement, still of great relevance for today: “Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the Lord? To obey is better than sacrifice and to heed is better than the fat of rams. For rebellion is like the sin of divination and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he has rejected you as king.” It could have all been so different for Saul if he had had a heart like the man who was to follow him – King David. What God requires above all things is obedience. It is the pathway to great blessing. Compromise, as Saul, discovered, will not be tolerated. We reap what we sow. For any individual and for any nation, obedience to God will bring great blessing, protection and the joy of the Lord. Disobedience or compromise will rob us of those things. As we pray through the prayer points this month we intercede for ourselves, the church and the nation to learn and live out these important lessons. 1st – 1 Samuel 13:1-4 Engaging the enemy - We take authority over every spirit of unbelief blinding the eyes of those we witness to and break their hold in Jesus’ name -

Such records would be of little interest to a reader unless he or she knew who the characters were. In the case of Matthew’s gospel, he deliberately starts with this Jewish genealogy because it would have been of great interest to those he first wrote the book for, namely the Jews. They knew all the names listed as far back as Abraham and beyond, including many who had been kings of Israel. Matthew is, of course, recording the genealogy of Jesus who is seen to be a descendant of Abraham and of King David. Jesus, in fact, is the Jewish Messiah and King prophesied in the Old Testament. The genealogy of Jesus, so far as his human nature is concerned, reveals much about the heart of God for the salvation of the world. Amongst the list of ancestors of Christ are some great men of God, as we would expect to see. It starts with Abraham the father of faith, whose example demonstrated the reality that salvation comes by faith alone, ‘Abram believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness’ (Genesis 15:6) – a theme Paul expounds in his letter to the Romans. Then great and godly kings, such as David, described as a man after God’s own heart and Jehoshaphat, who defeated the large enemy army arrayed against him through praise and worship and Hezekiah, who exhibited an evangelistic zeal to turn not only his nation but the neighbouring one to God. There is also, of course, the godly Joseph and Mary. But there are also some surprising inclusions in a Jewish genealogy, for example women. There is Rahab the former prostitute, whose faith in the God of the Jews, not only saved her life but also cause her to be accepted and integrated into the people of God by marriage to Salmon through who together produced the godly Boaz who married the rank outsider – Ruth. Not only was she a woman but a gentile, a Moabitess in fact. But her unswerving faith brought her inclusion in the genealogy of Jesus. Manasseh is there, although he was the worst of all the kings of Israel. But there is a remarkable footnote at the end of his deplorable reign that we find in 2 Chronicles 33:19, ‘His prayer and how God was moved by his entreaty… [after]‘…he humbled himself, all are written in the records of the seers…’ Even in the genealogy we see a picture of how God’s family can include the outcasts and the once notorious, provided they acknowledge their sin and come in repentance to him in faith. As we pray through the first two chapters of Matthew we are praying for a move of God that will see not only us come closer to Jesus, but every man, woman and child, no matter their past, who is willing to repent and accept Christ through faith in his finished work on the cross 1st – Matthew 1:1-2 Abraham – the man of faith -

She had a scan in January 2010, which showed the cyst. She was then sent to Charing Cross Hospital, and she saw a surgeon who was prepared to operate on her back to remove the cyst. She had a second scan in March 2011 in preparation for the back operation. She had been receiving prayer about this, and Diane went to see the surgeon once more when it was noticed that the cyst had completely gone. The pain had also gone. Diane gives Jesus the glory and praise, and says that this has been due to answered prayer, since ECC prayed for her. She is overwhelmed with joy.

After the Ministry Team prayed with me, I am healed of the knee problem.”end of prayer she was amazed that all pain was gone. She was overjoyed as she shared her testimony. "The pain has gone" “I have had a very bad back for 10 weeks due to my work. I have to do heavy lifting but tonight the pain has gone. I thank Jesus for healing me.” "Free of all discomfort “I have been feeling feverish for over two weeks. I usually go to bed taking paracetamol, hoping that I will feel better. The Team prayed for me, and the pain at the back of my neck just went. I am now free of all discomfort. I thank Jesus for healing me.” "The pain left my hip" “I had been having pain in my left hip. As I was sitting down and two ladies from the Ministry Team started to pray, I could feel pins and needles in my leg, which I believe was the start of my healing. Then after some time the pain in my hip just left.” “It all happened on 3rd January 2010. A man had been having an argument with my husband for two days about work. My husband had difficulty explaining the matter in English, so he phoned my son to come and translate for him. When my son arrived, the man started to shout and argue. My son and husband tried to calm him down. However, he got violent and punched both my son and husband. Both of them were in shock and tried to defend themselves. In the process of defending themselves, the man fell on the floor and hurt himself. He then pressed charges against my husband and my son, accusing my son of stabbing him in the head several times with a knife. This lie of the devil led my son and husband to appear at the Old Bailey, and being allegedly charged with GBH (grievous bodily harm), a charge just below attempted murder. The whole incident, which had been based on lies, continued for roughly a year. At the hearing, this man continued to lie and accuse my son. All this time, I prayed and believed in my Lord Jesus Christ. My faith was strong, and was not going to accept this lie over truth. I would often sit outside the Court and inside and pray to Almighty God. Eventually, the judges and jury saw the truth, and my family was free - without any allegations. I am so happy and proud to be a born-again Christian. I have also realised in several situations that God is in our lives and hearts. He has His hand on our heads, protecting us and saving us from the devil. My husband follows Jesus, and has forgiven the man in the same way Jesus would have done, and because of this I can also forgive him. I thank God for this miracle - justice and happiness prevailed in Jesus’ Name!”

MOLITVENI LANAC KRIŽARSKE MOLITVE VODIČ ZA KRIŽARSKE MOLITVENE ZAJEDNICE (Ovaj vodič su sastavili katolički svećenici u Irskoj.) Treba se naći zajedno barem dvoje ljudi. Nadajmo se da će se s vremenom mnogi uključiti u ovaj Zadatak spašavanja duša. To može biti u kućama ili na javnim mjestima na kojima vam je dopušteno da se okupljate. Ako je moguće, ovo okupljanje bi se trebalo odvijati u crkvi i ljudi bi se morali što češće sastajati. Čak i ako bi imali samo dan ili dva u tjednu i ako bi svaki dan dolazili drugi ljudi i to je dobro za početak. Cilj je da se sastajete svakodnevno. Ako vam je zajednica dovoljno velika možete imati nekoga tko bi dobrovoljno bio voditelj i organizator ili se ova odgovornost može podijeliti na nekoliko osoba ili se jednostavno izmjenjujte i dijelite obveze. Možda biste mogli ići od kuće do kuće. Isusov naputak za molitvene zajednice: Neka imaju uza se Svetu vodu , raspelo i neka mole ovu posebnu križarsku molitvu za blagoslov i zaštitu križarske molitvene zajednice . Molim vas molite ovu molitvu prije i nakon molitvenog susreta: Uvodna križarska molitva (96) “Blagoslovi i zaštiti našu križarsku molitvenu zajednicu” O moj najdraži Isuse, molim Te, blagoslovi i zaštiti nas, Svoju križarsku molitvenu zajednicu da bi ostali očuvani od zlobnih napada đavla i svih zlih duhova koji bi nam mogli nauditi u ovoj Svetoj Misiji spašavanja duša. Daj da ostanemo odani i snažni, dok nastojimo očuvati Tvoje Sveto Ime u svijetu i ne daj da nikad odustanemo u našoj borbi da širimo Istinu Tvoje Svete Riječi. Amen. Preporučuje se da najprije započnete s molitvom. Treba izmoliti barem jedno otajstvo Gospinog Presvetog Ružarija, molite polagano i iz srca pazeći na to što govorite i biti svjesni toga što govorite, kao i kome to govorite. To se odnosi na Gospinu krunicu, Križarske molitve, kao i na Krunicu Božaskog Milosrđa. Sjetite se da je Naša Gospa obećala posebnu zaštitu onima koji će dnevno izmoliti tri Otajstva Presvetog Ružarija. Gospa je zatražila da ljudi svih vjera mole Njezin Ružarij. Najnovije Poruke, koje su dane od posljednjeg susreta, valja čitati polako i s poštovanjem. Nitko ne smije tumačiti Poruke jer je Isus rekao da ni Marija od Božjeg Milosrđa nema ovlasti tumačiti ih. Netočno tumačenje bi moglo odbiti duše, a cilj ove Misije jest privući duše svih vjera, kao i one koje uopće nisu u vjeri. Nitko nije izostavljen. Bilo bi dobro kada biste podijelili primjerke Poruka koje čitate onima koji nemaju kompjuter. Preporuča se da kada molite Križarske molitve i Litanije, ostavite dovoljno vremena da ljudi mogu izreći svoje nakane. Najbolje bi bilo da ih svatko kaže u sebi. Ljudi mogu spustiti glave dok izriču u sebi nakane i onda ih podignuti kad završe tako da možete nastaviti, a da nikoga niste prekinuli. Imajte u vidu da neke osobe imaju velike obitelji i mnoštvo nakana i važno je da sve nakane budu uključene. Preporučljivo je da u Drugoj Litaniji pridružite svojim nakanama sve duše koje su u potpunoj tami i one koje će toga dana umrijeti. Kad zajednica bude dovoljno velika, mogao bi voditelj stati ispred svih tako da se zna kad su svi gotovi s nakanama i da se može nastaviti s molitvom. Zatim slijedi molitva srcem Krunice Božaskog Milosrđa, a nakon nje posebna molitva koju je dao naš Gospodin, a navedena je ispod. Krunicu se može i pjevati. Trebalo bi izmoliti i ostala otajstva Ružarija, ako ostane dovoljno vremena da ih svi izmole. Ako ne mogu svi ostati, bilo bi dobro da oni koji mogu ostanu i zajedno izmole preostali dio Ružarija. Imajte na umu da je velika moć i snaga u zajedničkoj molitvi Križarske molitvene zajednice. Rasprave o Porukama treba ograničiti na točne i izravne citate iz prvotne Poruke. Jako je preporučljivo da se svi mole za pravilno rasuđivanje ovih Poruka jer postoji velika opasnost da se Poruke krivo protumače. Ako vam je teško razumjeti određenu poruku preporuča se da molite na tu nakanu. Ako zajednica bude dovoljno velika možete izmjenjivati molitvu Ružarija s jedne strane crkve na drugu. Vrlo je važno da se ne žuri. Ove Molitvene zajednice će učiniti jako mnogo budući da su dio Božje vojske u ovoj borbi za duše. Molitva je oružje. Pokušajte imati na umu da što je molitva bolja, to je i oružje bolje. Naš Gospodin je preko svete Faustine zatražio da molimo Krunicu Božaskog Milosrđa u 15:00 h, isto tako je zatražio da ju molimo više puta dnevno. Isus nam je 10. svibnja 2011. uputio sljedeći zahtjev preko Marije od Božjeg Milosrđa: „Govorite ovu molitvu svaki dan nakon što izmolite Moje Božje Milosrđe i svojom odanošću Meni pomoći ćete spasiti Moju djecu.“ Ispuni me sada, o Gospodine, Darom Duha Svetoga, da prenesem Tvoju najsvetiju Riječ grješnicima koje moram pomoći spasiti u Tvoje Ime. Pomogni mi da ih prekrijem kroz moju molitvu Tvojom Predragocjenom Krvlju, tako da mogu biti privučeni Tvom Svetom Srcu. Daj mi Dar Duha Svetoga tako da ove jadne duše mogu uživati u Tvom Novom Raju. Amen. Nakon ove molitve izmolite Molitvu Svetom Mihaelu Arhanđelu Sveti Mihaele Arkanđele, brani nas u boju; protiv pakosti i zasjedama đavolskih budi nam zaklon. Neka mu zapovjedi Bog, ponizno molimo: Ti, vojvodo vojske nebeske, Sotonu i druge duhove zlobne, koji svijetom obilaze na propast duša, Božanskom krepošću i jakošću u pakao strovali. Amen. Katolici koji mole Ružarij u zajednici ili samostalno pred Presvetim Oltarskim Sakramentom, mogu dobiti potpuni oprost pod uobičajenim uvjetima, a to uključuje i molitvu na nakane Svetog Oca. *Na nakane Svetog Oca: Oče naš, Zdravo Marijo i Slava Ocu. Završite sa znakom križa i blagoslovom. U Ime Oca, i Sina i Duha Svetoga.

Pomogni nam da budemo hrabri, neustrašivi i jaki usprkos nedaćama. Primi naše žrtve, trpljenja i poteškoće koje stavljamo pred Tvoje Prijestolje kao dar za spasenje Tvoje djece na zemlji. Omekšaj srca nečistim dušama. Otvori im oči za Istinu Tvoje Ljubavi kako bi se mogli pridružiti Ostatku Tvoje djece u Raju na zemlji, koji si s ljubavlju stvorio za nas u skladu sa Svojom Svetom Voljom. Amen. Križarska molitva (33)- Pečat Živoga Boga Molite ovu Križarsku molitvu, kako biste spoznali vrijednost Moga Pečata i prihvatite Ga s ljubavlju, radošću i zahvalnošću. O moj Bože, moj ljubljeni Oče,ja prihvaćam Tvoj Božanski Pečat zaštite sa ljubavlju i zahvalnošću.Tvoje Božansko Biće okružuje moje tijelo i moju dušu dovijeka.Klanjam se pred Tobom u poniznoj zahvalnosti i nudim Ti moju duboku ljubav i moju vjernost prema Tebi, mome ljubljenom Ocu.Ja Te molim, da Mene i moje drage zaštitiš sa ovim posebnim Pečatom, i svečano obećavam Tebi, da ću moj život sad i zauvijek živjeti u Tvojoj službi.Ljubim Te, dragi Oče.Ja Te tješim u ovim vremenima, dragi Oče.Prikazujem Ti Tijelo i Krv, Dušu i Božanstvo Tvoga preljubljenog Sina kao zadovoljštinu za grijehe svijeta i za spasenje sve Tvoje djece. Amen. Isprintajte ovaj pečat Boga Živoga, blagoslovite ga i čuvajte u svojim kućama kako bi vas zaštitio od rata koji dolazi. Ovo je isječak iz jedne poruke Boga Oca: Ja vam obećavam, da će progon biti kratak i da će te vi biti zaštićeni. Jer Ja vam sada ostavljam Pečat Moje Ljubavi i Moje Zaštite. Sa ovim pečatom ćete vi umaći opažanju onih koji su teške okolnosti u vašim Zemljama prouzrokovali. Moj pečat je Moje Obećanje Spasa. Temeljem ovog pečata će vas Moja snaga prožeti i vama se neće dogoditi nikakvo zlo. Ovo (pečat) je čudo, djeco, i samo oni, koji se predamnom, vašem Gospodinu i Stvoritelju svih stvari, poklone – kao mala djeca i sa ljubavlju za Mene u njihovim srcima – mogu sa ovim Božjim darom biti blagoslovljeni. Uzdignite se dakle i primite Moj Pečat, Pečat Živoga Boga. U jednoj drugoj poruci Boga Oca također je rečeno: Djeco, nemojte se strašiti. Nikakvo zlo neće zadesiti one, koji Moj Pečat, Pečat Živoga Boga, nose. Sotona i njegovi pali anđeli, koji su u ovom vremenu napali svijet, nemaju nikakve vlasti nad onim, koji Znak Živoga Boga nose. Vi morate Mene slušati, djeco, i morate prihvatiti Moj Pečat; jer to neće samo vaš život spasiti, nego i vaše duše. Molite molitvu za primanje Moga Pečata svaki dan. Razumijte značenje Moga Pečata. Vaša ljubav prema Meni, vašem Nebeskom Ocu, biti će vaša spasujuća milost, i ona će vam dati snagu, koju vi trebate. Moj Pečat zaštite je prorokovan, kad drugi Pečat bude otvoren. "Jahač crvenog konja je anđeo osvete, koji će Moju djecu u mnogim ratovima, koji će doći, poubijati. Ali on će proći pokraj one Moje djece sa Pečatom na njihovom čelu." Pripremite se sad; jer ovi ratovi se već događaju i daljnji se planiraju na svakom uglu Zemlje. Ne zaboravite nikada važnost "Pečata živoga Boga". On će vama i vašim obiteljima nuditi zaštitu, ne samo duhovnu, nego i tjelesnu zaštitu. Vi ste blagoslovljeni, da Pečat primite, i vaša obveza je da se pobrinete , da ga - svugdje - po mogoćnosti primi veliki broj djece Božje. Važna napomena: Pečat mora ostati potpuno isti kako je i prikazan. Nikakve promjene nisu dozvoljene. Ni jedan Pečat , bilo koje vrste se ne smije prodavati ,bez obzira iz kakvih pobuda se to čini. Pečat se može po želji otisnuti u crno-bijeloj tehnici direktno iz računala. On (Isus) je vrlo strog sto se tiče Pečata i on je svet. Ne smije ga se obesčastiti. Križarska molitva (79) -Molitva za dvije milijarde izgubljenih duša O dragi Isuse, molim Te da izliješ Svoje Milosrđe na izgubljene duše. Oprosti im što Te odbacuju i upotrijebi moje molitve i trpljenja kako bi Ti mogao po Svome Milosrđu izliti na njih Milosti koje su im potrebne za posvećenje njihovih duša. Molim Te, daruj njihovim dušama dar blagosti. Molim Te otvori im srca, da bi Ti mogli prići i zamoliti Te da ih ispuniš Duhom Svetim, kako bi prihvatili Istinu Tvoje Ljubavi i živjeli s Tobom i cijelom Božjom Obitelji dovijeka. Amen. Križarska vojna molitva(102) -Za održanje vjere i za vjeru u Božju poruku svijetu Najdraži Isuse , podigni me kada padnem .Kad sam u sumnji prosvijetli me . Kad sam tužan pokaži mi svoju ljubav . Kada kritiziram pomozi mi da ostanem u šutnji . Kada osuđujem druge javno , zapečati moje usne . Kada izgovaram bogohulstva u Tvoje Ime , otkupi me i vrati me natrag u svoju zaštitu . Kada mi nedostaje hrabrosti , daj mi mač koji mi je potreban za borbu i za spašavanje duša za kojima tako žeđaš . Kada se opirem Tvojoj Ljubavi , pomozi mi da zaniječem sebe i da se predam potpuno Tvojoj brižnoj Ljubavi . Kada odlutam , pomozi mi da pronađem Put Istine . Kada ispitujem Tvoju Riječ , daj mi odgovore koje tražim . Pomozi mi da budem strpljiv , nježan i ljubazan sa onima koji te proklinju . Pomozi mi da oprostim onima koji te vrijeđaju i daj mi milost potrebnu da te slijedim sve do nakraj Zemlje . Amen . Križarska Molitva (104)- Oslobodi ove duše od ropstva Najdraži Isuse, prikazujem Ti dušu mog brata i sestre, koji su svoju dušu prepustili Sotoni. Uzmi ovu dušu i otkupi je u Tvojim Svetim očima. Izbavi ovu dušu iz ropstva zvijeri i donesi joj vječno Spasenje. Amen. KRIŽARSKE MOLITVE Križarska molitva 1- Moj dar Isusu za spasenje duša Moj najdraži Isuse koji nas toliko voliš , dopusti mi da Ti na svoj skroman način pomognem da spasiš duše koje su Ti toliko dragocjene . Imaj smilovanja za sve grešnike bez obzira kako su te smrtno uvrijedili. Dopusti mi da ti kroz molitvu i trpljenje pomognem da spasiš duše koje možda neće preživjeti Upozorenje , da nađu svoje mjesto uz tebe ,u tvom Kraljevstvu. Čuj moju molitvu o dragi Isuse i osvoji ove duše za kojima toliko žeđaš.O Presveto Srce Isusovo podlažem se vjerno tvojoj Svetoj Volji u svemu i uvijek . Amen. Križarska molitva 2- Molitva za svjetske vođe Moj vječni Oče ,u Ime Tvog ljubljenog Sina Isusa Krista ,molim te zaštiti svoju djecu od progona koji planiraju i pokreću svjetske vođe protiv nevinih naroda.Molim te oprosti grijehe tim dušama ,oprosti im što su uzrok našim tegobama i učini da se okrenu Tebi poniznim i raskajanim srcem.Molim te daj snagu svojoj djeci koja trpe da izdrže sva trpljenja kao zadovoljštinu za grijehe cijelog svijeta , kroz Krista Našeg Gospodina . Amen. Križarska molitva 3 - Oslobodi svijet od straha O moj Gospodine Isuse Kriste zaklinjem te ,oslobodi svijet od straha koji odvaja duše od Tvog srca koje je puno ljubavi .Molim te za duše koje će osjetiti veliki strah tijekom Upozorenja , neka odbace strah i neka dopuste Tvojoj Milosti da preplavi njihove duše .Oslobodi ih za pravu i istinsku ljubav prema Tebi . Amen. Križarska molitva 4 - Molitva za obitelji Ujedini sve obitelji Gospodine Isuse tijekom Upozorenja , da mogu prihvatiti svoje vječno spasenje. Molim te neka sve obitelji ostanu u jedinstvu s Tobom Isuse da zavrijede ući u tvoj Novi Raj na Zemlji. Amen.

Zasij sjemenje mira među onim okorjelim srcima koja u ime pravde uzrokuju patnju drugima. Daj svoj Božjoj djeci Milosti da prime Tvoj Mir, tako da ljubav i sklad mogu rasti; tako da ljubav za Boga trijumfira nad zlom i da duše mogu biti spašene od iskvarenosti od neistinitosti, okrutnosti i zlih težnji. Neka mir vlada nad svima onima koji svoje živote posvete Istini Tvoje Svete Riječi i onima koji Te uopće ne poznaju. Amen. Križarska molitva (165) Za Dar Vječnog Života Isuse pomogni mi da vjerujem u Tvoje Postojanje. Daj mi znak tako da Ti moje srce može odgovoriti. Ispuni moju praznu dušu s Milošću koju trebam da moj duh i moje srce otvorim za Tvoju Ljubav. Smiluj mi se i očisti moju dušu od svega što sam krivo učinio u svom životu. Oprosti mi jer sam Te odbacio, ali molim Te da me ispuniš ljubavlju koju trebam, da postanem dostojan Vječnog Života. Pomogni mi da Te upoznam, da vidim Tvoju Prisutnost u drugim ljudima i ispuni me s Milošću da prepoznam Znak Božji u svakom prekrasnom Daru kojega si dao ljudskom rodu. Pomogni mi da shvatim Tvoje Putove i spasi me od odvojenosti i boli tame koju osjećam u mojoj duši. Amen. Križarska molitva (166) Da umanji ubojstva nevinih Najdraža Majko Spasenja, molim Te prikaži ovu našu molbu da se umanje ubojstva nevinih Tvome ljubljenom Sinu, Isusu Kristu. Mi molimo, da u Svom Milosrđu, On ukloni opasnost od genocida, progona ili zastrašivanja protiv Božje djece, u bilo kojem obliku. Molimo, mi Te usrdno zazivamo, draga Majko Spasenja, da čuješ naš vapaj za ljubavlju, jedinstvom i mirom u ovom žalosnom svijetu. Mi molimo da Isus Krist, Sin Čovječji, zaštiti sve nas tijekom ovih vremena velike boli i trpljenja na Zemlji. Amen. Križarska molitva (167) Zaštiti moju obitelj O Bože, moj Vječni Oče, milošću Tvog ljubljenog Sina, Isusa Krista, molim zaštiti moju obitelj od zla, u svako doba. Daj nam snage da se uzdignemo nad zlim namjerama i da ostanemo ujedinjeni u našoj ljubavi za Tebe i jednih prema drugima. Održi nas kroz svaku kušnju i trpljenje koje možda pretrpimo i održi živom ljubav koju imamo jedni za druge, tako da smo u jedinstvu s Isusom. Blagoslovi naše obitelji i daj nam Dar Ljubavi, čak i u vremenima razmirica. Ojačaj našu ljubav, da bi mogli dijeliti radost naše obitelji s drugima, da bi Tvoja Ljubav mogla biti podijeljena s cijelim svijetom. Amen. Križarska molitva (168) Za Dar Božje Ljubavi O najdraži Oče, o Vječni, Bože Svevišnji, učini me dostojnim Tvoje Ljubavi. Molim Te, oprosti mi jer sam povrijedio druge i za svako loše djelo koje je uzrokovalo patnju bilo kome od Tvoje djece. Otvori moje srce da Te mogu primiti u moju dušu i očisti me od bilo kakve mržnje koju mogu osjetiti protiv druge osobe. Pomogni mi da oprostim mojim neprijateljima i da posijem sjeme Tvoje Ljubavi posvuda gdje idem i među onima koje susrećem svaki dan. Daj mi, dragi Oče, Darove Ustrajnosti i Ufanja, da mogu podržati Tvoju Svetu Riječ i da tako, u tamnom svijetu, očuvam živim plamen Tvoje Velike Ljubavi i Milosrđa. Amen. Križarska molitva (169) Za Spasenje onih koji odbacuju Krista Najdraži Isuse, po Tvojoj Samilosti i Milosrđu, ja Te usrdno molim za Spasenje onih koji su Te odbacili; koji niječu Tvoje Postojanje; koji se namjerno protive Tvojoj Svetoj Riječi i čija su gorka srca zatrovala njihove duše protiv Svjetla i Istine Tvoga Božanstva. Smiluj se svim grješnicima. Oprosti onima koji hule protiv Svetog Trojstva i pomogni meni, da na moj vlastiti način i kroz moje osobne žrtve, prigrlim u Tvojim Ljubljenim Rukama one grješnike koji najviše trebaju Tvoje Milosrđe. Ja ti obećavam da ću mojim mislima, mojim djelima i izrečenim riječima služiti Tebi kako najbolje mogu, u Tvojoj Misiji Spasenja. Amen. Križarska molitva (170) Da se podrži Sveta Riječ Božja O dragi Gospodine, moj ljubljeni Isuse Kriste, drži me. Zaštiti me. Čuvaj me u Svjetlu Svoga Lica, dok se moj progon pojačava, kada je moj jedini grijeh podržavanje Istine, Svete Riječi Božje. Pomogni mi da pronađem hrabrost da ti vjerno služim u svako doba. Daj mi Tvoju Hrabrost i Tvoju Snagu, dok se borim braniti Tvoja Učenja protiv žestoka protivljenja. Nikada me ne napuštaj, Isuse, u mom vremenu nevolje i osiguraj me sa svime što trebam da Ti nastavim služiti, preko pružanja Svetih Sakramenata i Tvog Presvetog Tijela i Krvi kroz Svetu Misnu Žrtvu. Blagoslovi me Isuse. Hodaj uz mene. Počivaj u meni. Ostani sa mnom. Amen.
