Prayer Summary for March 3

Prayed…

Father, by Your Spirit we pray for accuracy in the body of Christ
Let there be a fine tuning of the parts that are not in their positions yet
We believe to see people in the positions they have been called to be
Some doors will be closed and other doors will be opened
Lord, we humble ourselves under Your authority and the covering of Your blood
We pray for the parts that are behind the scenes that don’t know they need a strengthening and a change
Many plans and steps are still to be walked out and taken
We refuse to have any fear or anxiety about how that will turn out
Each step and detail is covered in the blood
We move with your plan, Father, and stay centered on You
Calling for a greater amount of cooperation
Lord, we are thankful for what has been done, but we keep contending for more
We pray over the hearts and conditions, for everything to be lined up!

Scripture Focus…

(12) “For just as the body is a unity and yet has many parts, and all the parts, though many, form [only] one body, so it is with Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). (13) For by [means of the personal agency of] one [Holy] Spirit we were all, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free, baptized [and by baptism united together] into one body, and all made to drink of one [Holy] Spirit. (14) For the body does not consist of one limb or organ but of many. (15) If the foot should say, Because I am not the hand, I do not belong to the body, would it be therefore not [a part] of the body? (16) If the ear should say, Because I am not the eye, I do not belong to the body, would it be therefore not [a part] of the body? (17) If the whole body were an eye, where [would be the sense of] hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where [would be the sense of] smell? (18) But as it is, God has placed and arranged the limbs and organs in the body, each [particular one] of them, just as He wished and saw fit and with the best adaptation. (19) But if [the whole] were all a single organ, where would the body be? (20) And now there are [certainly] many limbs and organs, but a single body. (21) And the eye is not able to say to the hand, I have no need of you, nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. (22) But instead, there is [absolute] necessity for the parts of the body that are considered the more weak. (23) And those [parts] of the body which we consider rather ignoble are [the very parts] which we invest with additional honor, and our unseemly parts and those unsuitable for exposure are treated with seemliness (modesty and decorum), (24) Which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so adjusted (mingled, harmonized, and subtly proportioned the parts of) the whole body, giving the greater honor and richer endowment to the inferior parts which lack [apparent importance], (25) So that there should be no division or discord or lack of adaptation [of the parts of the body to each other], but the members all alike should have a mutual interest in and care for one another. (26) And if one member suffers, all the parts [share] the suffering; if one member is honored, all the members [share in] the enjoyment of it. (27) Now you [collectively] are Christ’s body and [individually] you are members of it, each part severally and distinct [each with his own place and function]. (28) So God has appointed some in the church [for His own use]: first apostles (special messengers); second prophets (inspired preachers and expounders); third teachers; then wonder-workers; then those with ability to heal the sick; helpers; administrators; [speakers in] different (unknown) tongues. (29) Are all apostles (special messengers)? Are all prophets (inspired interpreters of the will and purposes of God)? Are all teachers? Do all have the power of performing miracles? (30) Do all possess extraordinary powers of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? (31) But earnestly desire and zealously cultivate the greatest and best gifts and graces (the higher gifts and the choicest graces). And yet I will show you a still more excellent way [one that is better by far and the highest of them all—love].”
(1 Cor. 12:12–31 Amp.)

(1) “If I [can] speak in the tongues of men and [even] of angels, but have not love (that reasoning, intentional, spiritual devotion such as is inspired by God’s love for and in us), I am only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. (2) And if I have prophetic powers (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), and understand all the secret truths and mysteries and possess all knowledge, and if I have [sufficient] faith so that I can remove mountains, but have not love (God’s love in me) I am nothing (a useless nobody). (3) Even if I dole out all that I have [to the poor in providing] food, and if I surrender my body to be burned or in order that I may glory, but have not love (God’s love in me), I gain nothing. (4) Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. (5) It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong]. (6) It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. (7) Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]. (8) Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]. As for prophecy (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), it will be fulfilled and pass away; as for tongues, they will be destroyed and cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away [it will lose its value and be superseded by truth]. (9) For our knowledge is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect), and our prophecy (our teaching) is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect). (10) But when the complete and perfect (total) comes, the incomplete and imperfect will vanish away (become antiquated, void, and superseded). (11) When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; now that I have become a man, I am done with childish ways and have put them aside. (12) For now we are looking in a mirror that gives only a dim (blurred) reflection [of reality as in a riddle or enigma], but then [when perfection comes] we shall see in reality and face to face! Now I know in part (imperfectly), but then I shall know and understand fully and clearly, even in the same manner as I have been fully and clearly known and understood [by God]. (13) And so faith, hope, love abide [faith—conviction and belief respecting man’s relation to God and divine things; hope—joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation; love—true affection for God and man, growing out of God’s love for and in us], these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
(1 Cor. 13:1–13 Amp.)

Father, thank You that You first loved us
We desire to do the things You are leading us to do by Your Spirit
As Jesus listened to Your Spirit, we listen to Your Spirit
Father, we are loving the body of Christ today
We love EVERY part with a selfless and everlasting love

Father, we are looking for undeniable proof of Your power
That people may see and know that You are God
For each part to move together in unity!
Applying the blood over the pathways and roadways
Strengthen men in their hearts and spirits
We will be sons of God led by the Spirit of God and not our own emotions
Each one must be strong in their call
Our determined purpose, first and foremost must be to know You!
Applying the blood over the connections—there must be an exchange and a flow
A release of Your giftings and anointings now
There must be a shift in the purpose and plan of men
Continually being moved and directed by Your Spirit
There is a purpose for every step!
Receive increase in these days and you will not miss even one step!
Do not lean on your own understanding, but trust in the direction of the Spirit
Father, thank You for revealing the right plans
When the leaders lead, the Church will follow and grow!
Lord, we trust You to guide us through this day
You get all the glory and honor!
