Prayer

June 2018

Peace: Pray for the Church to be filled with the power and wonder of God’s peace. May our lives and our churches manifest peace in an age of great anxiety. This is not a call to passivity or inaction, but to live a bold life marked with the power of God’s peace that stills all waves! Pray for peace and shalom in relationships as well —marriages, families and all relationships throughout the Church.
Humility: God gives grace to the humble, but our natural orientation is toward pride! Pray for the Canadian Church to follow Jesus’ example of a life lived in true humility. May ego, boasting and selfish ambition be washed away. Intercede that the Lord would also show us where self-righteousness or pretense are holding us back from genuine, deep humility
First Peoples: June 21 is National Aboriginal Day. Let’s stand in the gap for the First Peoples of Canada, that they would be gloriously impacted by the love of God. Pray for the ministries that are serving the First Peoples and pray for the power of the Spirit to flow bringing the life and healing of Jesus.

PRAY THE LORD'S PRAYER
Each month we will focus on a different petition from the Lord's Prayer. This month our directive is:

Deliver Us From Evil

Pray that the Lord delivers the Church from demonic influence, attack and deception.
Pray for an increase of sanctification so that we would be delivered from the evil of our own hearts.
Pray for our nation to be delivered from evil trends of corruption, loss of freedoms, the breakdown of the family — and more.

Suddenlies- There is a widespread prophetic sense that we are at a tipping point and the “suddenlies of God” could occur in many areas that have been previously unmoving. The sudden change in North Korea is a great example. Pray for all the things that have resisted the kingdom of God, places where darkness has seemed entrenched. Pray with new faith for great turnaround and breakthrough.
Evangelism- Intercede for an explosion of evangelism to break out in the Canadian Church! Pray for new, effective strategies to reach this generation, pray for a greater activation of evangelism gifts, pray for a deep stirring of compassion for those that don’t know Christ.
The Glorious Church - Stand in the gap that the Canadian Church would be unquestionably known as the dwelling place of God. Pray that God’s presence would fill and mark the Church releasing signs, miracles, wisdom, peace, truth, love, power and more. Contend for the Church where is is weak, immature or faltering. Jesus’ desire is that the Church be glorious; may this also be our desire.

PRAY THE LORD'S PRAYER
Each month we will focus on a different petition from the Lord's Prayer. This month our directive is:

Hallowed Be Your Name

Pray that all we do would bring honour to God’s name
Pray that His name would be exalted though our wholehearted, abandoned worship
Pray that the Fear of the Lord restores the awe (hallowing) of God to the Church

Awakening - The recent tragedy in Humboldt has moved the nation to sorrow and created space for spiritual conversations. Pray that the Father will use this and other events as catalysts for a national spiritual awakening. May prayer for true, holy, revival also be awakened as harvest is birthed in the prayer closet.
Unity- While our nation is becoming more divided and polarized, Jesus is calling us to contend for unprecedented unity in the Church! Pray for all unity to be Christ-centred so it will be healthy and enduring. May we walk in humility and grace for one another’s differences.
Word of God- Contend for a new love of the scriptures to rise up in the Church. Intercede for the Holy Spirit to open the Word to the Church and reveal Jesus, life and the truth that sets us free. Intercede for the Church to happily submit to the truth of scripture. Also pray for a new level of prophetic gifting that is pure, powerful and brings clarity to the Body of Christ.

PRAY THE LORD'S PRAYER
Each month we will focus on a different petition from the Lord's Prayer. This month our directive is:

Forgive Us Our Sins

Shine your light into our hearts, show us if there be any wicked way in us. (Ps 139:24)
We repent for wherever we have fallen short of the first commandment to love You, and the second command to love our neighbour as ourselves. (Mt 22:36-40)
Restore the fear of the Lord, which is to hate evil— to the Canadian Church. (Prov 8:13)

Praise— May revelation of the greatness and goodness of God bring the Canadian Church in to the power of praise. Pray that praise becomes our lifestyle regardless if things are going well or we are in times of deep struggle. God dwells in the praises of His people! Ps 22:3
Easter— Intercede for the Church this Easter weekend! Pray for many salvations, for powerful preaching on the cross and resurrection, and for all those that will be baptized.
Unity— The Lord is building unexpected unity in dramatic ways. Stand in the gap for every unity initiative and inter-church networks that foster unity. It’s time for big steps toward John 17. Seek the Lord that the Jesus that unites us will be central in all that we do.

PRAY THE LORD'S PRAYER

Your Will be Done on Earth as it is in Heaven

His will is a massive harvest in this generation!
May God’s will be done in every decision and in all the ways we need direction

Be Fruitful! The Father is speaking everywhere: “Church, be fruitful and multiply”! Pray for the Canadian Church to do just that! Pray for the fruit of the kingdom of God to breakout in all our churches, in our families, and in the marketplace around us. Pray for life to burst forth where there has been barrenness. Pray for multiplication, more lives changed, more leaders raised up, more labourers sent out into the harvest, and more glory go to Jesus.
Prophecy and Discernment - We love the revelatory gifts of God, pray for more! Pray for a new wave! Pray that those with these gifts would be both activated and matured in them. Pray also for new levels of discernment to weigh and apply prophetic revelation so that it becomes a glorious, life-giving gift to the Church.
Atlantic Canada- Pray for Atlantic Canada- New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI and Newfoundland & Labrador. Pray for an awakening of prayer, an outpouring of the Spirit, and for unity among the churches.

Activation- Pray for the Body of Christ, that every member will be activated to serve the Lord. May no one be dormant, may no one be overworked. Pray for a fresh activation, or even an upgrading of gifts so that everyone will be fulfilling that which they were called for.
Harvest- Intercede for the harvest in 2018! Contend for a great ingathering of souls, as well as a restoration of faith for this harvest in those who have felt like they have “fished all night” only to come up empty handed.
Holiness- It’s time for the Lord to lead us out of the mixture that has diluted or distorted the kingdom in our lives and churches. Pray that the Lord would lead us out of the works of the flesh and the ways of man where these have been mixed into how we are living and seeking to expand His kingdom.

PRAY THE LORD'S PRAYER

Each month we will be including a focus on one of the petitions from the Lord's Prayer.
This month, let's pray for:

Your Kingdom Come

pray for the Church to surrender in greater ways to His kingship
pray for the power of the kingdom to increase in the Canadian Church
pray for the good gospel of the kingdom to be heard by the hungry in our nation
pray for the Church to awaken in a longing for Christ’s return

Joy- Intercede for the Canadian Church to be filled with the deep, abiding, joy of the Lord. May joy mark us despite struggle, grief or suffering. Pray for those who are susceptible to depression, especially during the Christmas season.
Family Salvations- Stand in the gap for breakthroughs in family salvations. Let us pray zealously with renewed faith in the One who is able to seek and save the lost. Lift up all those, even in extended families, who don’t yet know the Lord.
Universities- The extent of the oppression of free speech in universities has recently come to the light, continue to pray for respectful freedom of speech and thought to be established on campuses. Pray that a door will now open for widespread proclamation of the gospel on university campuses.
Christmas- Pray for the Church as we celebrate Christmas. May Jesus truly be the centre, may He be glorified, revealed, proclaimed. May all Christmas events and services draw hearts to Him.
Callings- Intercede for every believer, in the marketplace, at home, or in vocational ministry to know how God has called them to serve Him. Contend for doors to now open for those who have been prepared and are waiting to be released. Pray for those who have given up on delayed callings or feel life events have disqualified them.

Christmas - This season of Christmas creates many unique opportunities to share the Gospel and to engage in spiritual conversations. Pray for the Church in Canada to be proclaimers of the Good News through all our Christmas activities. In addition, may the Church experience more genuine encounter with Jesus throughout the holiday season.
Remember the Poor - With the consumerism of Christmas almost upon us, intercede that the Canadian Church would walk in a different spirit and be extravagantly generous to those who have very little. Pray for generosity, but also a lifestyle of remembering the poor.
Our Father - Seek the Lord for the Canadian Church to encounter the love, grace, discipline, security, that the Father gives. May we be fathered by our Heavenly Father wherever there remains a need for that. May we walk as united children before Him without division or rivalry.
Home - The Lord is calling His people to be found in community. Pray for all that is needed for community to thrive: hospitality, transparency, fathers and mothers, love, acceptance. Pray that all our community expressions would be missional, so that many others would find the way home.
Creativity - Intercede for heaven’s creativity to be welcomed in the Church. Pray for all the creative art forms to be a part of how we communicate and express God’s glory. Pray for creative, innovative, ideas to flow into business, church planting, media and more. May we welcome all the new things God is doing!

500 Years— Nov 1st is the 500 year anniversary of the Reformation, where the Church was restored to the gospel, to the scriptures, to being justified by faith alone. There is much prophetic discernment that a new reformation, a new restoration is coming where the gospel will again be revealed in purity and power. Let’s cry out for this!
Unity— 500 years ago, the Church began to split. Pray now for all the powerful interdenominational initiatives leading the Church towards unity to thrive. Contend that we will be one, without compromising essential truths. Pray that this spirit of unity flows into the daily life of the Canadian Church. May families, congregations, regions, all see an increase of unity.
Come Holy Spirit— This is also a time to cry out, as the disciples did in the upper room, for the Holy Spirit to come in a fresh way, in a greater measure.
Universities— Pray for Canada’s universities, that God’s truth will become more and more prevalent on campuses. Pray for effective apologetics, for Christian professors, and for softened hearts to receive truth. Continue to pray for Youth Alpha.
Discipleship— Intercede for all who have come to faith but have not yet truly become disciples of Jesus. Pray for a great awakening of a passion to be disciples.

Kids - Pray for the children! Pray for their school experience, and all the ways that can impact them. Pray for the kids programs in church, that they would truly equip and disciple kids to walk with God. Pray for children to be encountered by the Holy Spirit. Pray for day-care and after school care experiences to be godly.
Transition - Many are in tremendous transition, shifting and being positioned for God’s purposes. Positioned for the next move of God. Pray that callings would be clear, faith will arise, provision for every need will be released. Pray for new church plants springing up all over Canada.
New Immigrants - Intercede for those that are coming to Canada. May they encounter the gospel in power. May the Church have wisdom and compassion in our response to these ones.
Forgiveness - Jesus said if we don’t forgive, we will not be forgiven. Cry out for the Canadian Church to be unrelentingly committed to deep, wholehearted, speedy forgiveness, no mater what the offense. Contend for those in the bondage of bitterness.
Healing - Jesus heals. Stand in the gap for the Canadian Church to encounter the power and grace of physical, mental, emotional, relational, or spiritual healing from Jesus’s hands. Intercede that every congregation would flow in healing.
