Ephesians 4:16 Ministries

Father, we thank You for the privilege of calling You Father. We have not received the bondage of fear, but the spirit of adoption whereby we cry, "Abba." Lord, we lift up those who don't have that relationship with You. They have gone searching for love in all the wrong places and have experienced hurt and rejection all their lives. Lord, give them a revelation of Yourself as a Father who loves His children, receives them and extends unto them mercy and grace. Why else would... You give Your only begotten Son except for Your great love? Thank You for loving us when we were yet enemies. May those who have been wounded, filled with pain, and rejection come unto You and find love, acceptance, and healing for their broken hearts. You forgive their sins and remove their shame and make them a new creation. Thank You for Your abundant grace and a love that reaches to the depths of human misery. You are good and we thank You for changing lives. We pray this prayer in the name of and for the sake of Jesus. Amen See more

Father, from the rising of the sun this morning to the laying down of our heads tonight Your name is to be praised. We pray this week that the name of Jesus Christ will be lifted up and all men would be drawn unto You. Lord, we realize that there who will be those who celebrate the facts concerning the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ that do not know Him. We pray that this week they can enter into the reality of what Christ has done and know personally our risen Sav...ior. We thank You for the many souls that will be saved this week. May we all come to know the power of the resurrection and the fellowship of His suffering. Thank You, Father, for loving us enough to make a way for us. You are good and we will exalt You this day and throughout eternity. It is in the name of our risen Savior, Jesus, that we pray and for His sake, amen. See more

Father, we bless You this morning. We come boldly before Your throne this morning to receive mercy and find grace in our time of need. Father, we pray that we would learn to hear and discern Your voice. We hear a lot of things blamed on You that You never said and how can we impart wisdom once someone says God told them? Give us a love for Your written word that we may discern that which is contradictory to it. Jesus said that His sheep hear His voice and the voice of another... they will not follow. We want to be able to hear You clearly. If we lack wisdom, Your word says we can ask and You give liberally. May we be sensitive to Your Holy Spirit who is to be our guide. Give us ears to hear what Your Spirit is saying to the church. Thank You, Lord, that You still direct Your people. Lord, You desire fellowship with us and we pray that we, Your people will spend time with You and learn to listen. Thank You that You are approachable and You are attentive to our cry. We love You this morning and it is in Jesus' name we pray. Amen See more

Finishing up on the gift of apostle.

Father, we bless you today. You are awesome in all your ways and You ways past finding out. We pray for families today. It seems that the family is under assault on many fronts. Jesus said that a kingdom divided cannot stand and so it is with the family. We pray that parents would return to their God-given roles. Lord, You ordained marriage and You established Your order. It seems that fathers have abandoned their roles and their children have felt abandoned. They are bound b...y rejection and rebellion. In Malachi You said that Elijah would come and restore the hearts of the children to the fathers and the fathers to the children less the land be smitten with a curse. Jesus said that Elijah came and he was talking about John the Baptist. His message was the kingdom is at hand and the message has not been preached and received in our nation and as a result we are becoming a fatherless society. Lord, may the gospel of the kingdom be preached that Your divine order, Your dominion in the home might be restored and that they will experience righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. Restore families we pray, that we as a nation might be restored. Father, we know this is Your heart and we thank You for hearing this prayer. We bless You and it is in Jesus' name we pray. Amen See more
