STANDING IN THE GAP FOR THE CHURCH

Forty days of focussed prayer and fasting 20 June – 29 July

FAITH FOR A CHURCH, FAITH FOR A CITY

2 Chronicles 7:14 If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Eph:20-23 All this energy issues from Christ; God raised him from death and set him on a throne in deep heaven, in charge of running the universe, everything from galaxies to governments, no name and no power exempt from his rule. And not just for the time being, but forever. He is in charge of it all, has the final word on everything. At the center of all this, Christ rules the church. The church, you see, is not peripheral to the world; the world is peripheral to the church. The church is Christ's body, in which he speaks and acts, by which he fills everything with his presence.

Devotion - Day 17

The High Priestly Prayer of Jesus - John 17

Jesus taught His disciples not to use ‘vain’ repetition when they pray. Read John 17 and note how many things Jesus repeated many times in His ‘high Priestly prayer’ and note that it was not ‘vain’ repetition but representing the greatest burdens on His heart.

In John 17:20-24 He prayed for:

Church Unity – Trinity Unity.
‘that they might be one as we are one’


People to be saved.
‘so that the world might know that you sent me’


Revelation of the Fathers love.
'that you love them as you love me’



Meditate on these three aspects and pray that God the Father would answer the prayer that Jesus prayed in this regard.
