October 2018

• Open Doors- Pray for doors of ministry to open to the Canadian Church. This could be new church plants, new mission opportunities, new relationships that are strategic for the kingdom. Along with this, intercede for doors to open for kingdom businesses!  
• Zeal- The spirit of the world tries to lull the Church to sleep, but Jesus is consumed with zeal for His Father’s house! Pray for a zeal that comes from the Spirit, not from our own hype. Contend for spiritual slumber to break off of the Church. 
• Children- Intercede for children in Canada to hear the gospel and encounter Jesus. May our churches’ children’s programs be places of great transformation. May Christian parents be granted wisdom from above as they raise their children in a world increasingly hostile to faith. ​​

PRAY FOR THE CHURCH

The scriptures reveal what God’s idea of His Church looks like. Each month we will focus on a different aspect of the Church, as revealed in scripture, and pray for that aspect to be revived. 
​
This month we focus on: 

The Church is the Bride of Christ
Rev 19:7,8 | Eph 5:31,32 | 2 Cor 11:2
This means: 

• We are called to be singularly devoted and focused upon Jesus
• We are called to union with Him, not independence 
• We are called to live sacrificially, joyfully serving, loving, giving of our self as “laid down lovers” for His glory
