💞 Dear Royal Praying Priests, shalom!
💎 “Ask Me, and I will give the nations as Your inheritance, and the far reaches of the earth as Your possession.” (Psm 2:8, TLV)
💎 “And He said to them, ‘Because you trust so little. Amen, I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.’” (Mat 17:20, TLV)
💎 “Amen, I tell you, whatever you forbid on earth will have been forbidden in heaven and what you permit on earth will have been permitted in heaven. Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there I am in their midst.” (Mat 18:18-20, TLV)
How big is your prayer?
Oftentimes we think that we are but men and women of little faith, so we ask little and receive little. BUT, our Heavenly Father is calling us forth to join His Son and to ask Him for the nations. He delights us in praying big for advancing His kingdom and His righteousness (Mat 6:10, 33, Jer 33:3) When we open our mouths wide, He promises that He will fill us! (Psm 81:10)
How big is your faith?
We often mistakenly think that we need to have big faith like those spiritual giants for removing mountains and calling Heaven down. BUT, Yeshua is telling us that we only need faith as small as a mustard seed, then nothing will be impossible for any of us. We are made righteous by trusting God through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah. Elijah was a man with a nature just like ours, and the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. (Rom 5:1, Jas 5:16-18)
BBPN is called to pray “from Mountains of Heaven to Mount Zion” (H2Z), and we are entrusted to pray for revival of the nations along the ancient Silk Road. Each week before we jump into the prayer points from our Indigenous Ministry Partners, let us start our prayers by asking God for these nations in faith!
We can pray big with faith the size of a mustard seed!
Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you and praise You. Through the redemption of Your Son Yeshua, we can ask for the nations by faith. Today we together declare Your glory and bless Your Name over the nations (Psm 96:3), confess the sins of the nations and ask Your forgiveness (Neh 1:6-7, Exo 32:31-32), apply the blood of Yeshua to the sins of the nations (Rev 5:9), ask You to heal the land (2Ch 7:14), ask You to send out labourers into the harvest field (Mat 9:38), welcome You into the Seven Mountains of the society (Rev 3:20), open the gates and usher You into the nations (Psm 24:7), and ask You to pour out Your Spirit on the Church and all unreached people groups (Joe 2:28-31). Lastly, we ask You to raise more Praying Priests as Your watchmen for the nations (Ezk 3:17, 22:30). In the Name of Your precious Son Yeshua we pray, amen! *
