Luke 8:40-9:6 (change your life daily bible-nlt)
Prayer:
(40)Father God, there are people who have been waiting to receive Jesus with open arms and we need You to guide us to the other side of the lake (lake-where they are) to minister to them. God direct the YWAM teams to who has been waiting and who will receive Jesus with arms wide open. Oh, God meet their needs, wants and desires emotionally, financially, physically, mentally and spiritually. Father, show the YWAM teams and we Your children, Your special treasure, where the crowds are that will receive Jesus today. It was not just one or two people who were waiting for Him but crowds of people. We will go to the crowds and to the few. We have Your precious gift, Your Son, Jesus, to give to this world and so we willingly surrender our will to Yours to “Go, preach, teach, give, baptize, share, love, and more”.
(43-46)So many people in our lives are hemorrhaging physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and financially. God, please help us to be as full of You as Jesus’ was (and still is), that Your healing power would flow in, through and out of us to minister healing to those who are hemorrhaging in every corner of their lives. Help us deliberately touch people’s lives and open our eyes to see those who are deliberately touching our lives for words of encouragement, healing, support, love, affection, and more. We don’t need to feel this happening; we just need it to happen, for the glory of Your name. We need You to do it through us. We are willing to give You out of us to those You want.
(49-55)God, we as people often see things as dead, but help us to continue our journeys to go into the homes/lives of those who are hurting and speak these words “Don’t be afraid. Just trust Jesus and all will be well.” Cause us to take others by the hand and say, “Get up”. Now God, You have to do all the healing for we cannot. We are Your vessels, work in and through us. At the moment we speak “Get up”, may life return to these dead areas and for there to be a standing up and living in these areas like never before.
(1)You have called us and given us power and authority to cast out demons and to heal all diseases. You are the same God yesterday, today and forever.
We are to be telling everyone about the coming of Your kingdom and to heal the sick. (2)Father, we have been so lax in telling EVERYONE that Your kingdom is coming and healing the sick. I think we want the sick healed but we forget we should tell everyone – that means EVERYONE about the coming of Your Kingdom. Forgive us. Help us to purpose in our hearts and minds daily to do this. Remind us daily, Holy Spirit, to take advantage of the time we have on this earth to share with everyone about Your coming kingdom. Oh Father, how I long for this to be more than just a prayer to You. I long for change like this in every area of my life into a living, breathing, walking, talking example of Who You really are. I want to be doing this word. (6)Begin us anew in sharing the Good News with our circuit of friends, co-workers, people we meet on the streets and who we do business.
Psalm 71
(5)I have trusted You from childhood, though I have often faltered and You have been faithful. You have been with me from birth; from mom’s womb, You cared for me. No wonder I am praising You! (7)May my life be an example to many how You have been my strength and my protection. That is why I will never stop praising You. I declare Your glory all day long.
(9)I thank You that though we grow old You do not set us aside. You will not abandon them when their strength fails. (12) Hurry and help them Father. (14)I will continue to keep on hoping in Your help. (15) I will continue to tell everyone about Your righteousness and proclaim Your saving power. I am overwhelmed by how much You have done for me. I praise You. (16) I will tell everyone that You alone are just and good, help me to do this. (17)You have taught me from my earliest childhood and I have told others about the wonderful things You do. (18) Thank You for never abandoning me. I will proclaim Your power to this new generation and Your mighty miracles to all who come after me.
(20) You have allowed me to suffer hardship but You always restore me to life and lift me up from the depths of this earthen vessel I live in. (21) You continue to restore me to greater (and Your kids) honor and You comfort me. (
(22)I praise You with music because You are faithful to Your promises. I sing for You. (23)I shout for joy and sing Your praises, for You have rescued me and are still rescuing me! Woohoo!
