Prayers & Scriptures

 

    Hello! This is Multiply, a podcast to encourage pastors, Christian leaders and church planters. I am your host today, Daneille Snowden.

God’s Word is LIFE! God’s Word is powerful, and His Word is sharper than any two-edged sword!  We all share His truths from His Word when we witness, teach and preach; and we see lives changed (including our own)!

Applying scriptures to our prayers shall indeed MOVE MOUNTAINS! By asking the Holy Spirit to lead us to a promise to pray for ourselves, others and even the nations will fuel our prayers as it unites us with God Himself! Remember in John 1:1–3: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.” 

There are so many themes, promises, and examples we can pray as we go to the Lord in prayer daily for our personal prayer times as well as with corporate prayer. During Passover, Shavuot, Sukkot and Chanukkah the Jews would climb the temple mount and for each step they would pray from Psalms 113-118.

I just heard one of my favorite pastors say that he prays the Beatitudes every day (Matthew 5:3-12). Personally, for many years I have prayed these scriptures as if I am being filled, renewed, and even clothed in the Spirit by the Word.

*Fill me with You Love God! (1 Corinthians 13) to Love Others (John 15:12-13).

*Help me to think on these things! (Philippians 4:8).

*I put-on the Armor of God daily! (Ephesians 6:11-13).

*Help me to walk in the Spirit. (Galatians 5:16-18).

*Cause me to never conform to this world! (Romans 12:1-2).

*Sharpen my spirit and mind to be discerning! (Romans 12:2).

*Forgive Me Jesus and others, even help me to forgive! (1 John 1:9, Ephesians 4:32, 2 Chronicles 7:14).

*Give me YOUR Heart God! (Psalms 69:32).

*To help me do even more for You – Give me YOUR creativity! (1 Corinthians 2:9).
