Praying Our Way Home: Week Two
Praying Our Way Home
As we prepare to move into our new building, we want to spend the weeks leading up to our move praying boldly and expectantly for God to use our church and our new space to build his kingdom in Edmond, Oklahoma and around the world. To help guide your prayers, we will release weekly prayer guides each week leading up to officially opening our new building. These prayer guides will be focused on kingdom prayer.
Kingdom-centered prayer…
1. is focused on God’s presence and God’s kingdom.
– different from intercessory prayer, which is focused on specific needs
2. is bold and specific.
– believe that God can do mighty things in us
– if it helps, quote scripture back to God; pester God with his own promises
3. is prevailing, corporate prayer.
– pray together, pray alone
– pray long, pray hard, pray without ceasing
4. calls for corporate repentance and longing for God
– accompanied by (and based on) enormous hope
WEEK TWO – Pray for the lost to be reached. Pray…
• That we would see both the beauty and the sin of our city through God’s eyes.
• That we might develop relationships with those who don’t know Jesus.
• That unchurched and dechurched people would be brought to our church.
• That God would distinguish himself from every false god in our city.
• That our church would have a passionate desire to tell others about Jesus.
• That specific ministries of our church would help connect people to Christ (e.g.
groups, RSM, women’s and men’s ministries, etc.)
• That specific people you know who need to know salvation in Christ would be saved.
• That the gospel would be proclaimed to every person in our city and around the
world.
