There certainly is a lot of warfare over our growth!
Scripture: John 17:24-26
“Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may
behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with
which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.” Whenever we study this passage, we hardly
ever finish Christ’s thoughts on the subject! Jesus desired we be with Him so that relationship is
completed by His pouring out the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit takes residence in us so we are
always close in union with Him. If we nurture that relationship by praying in the Spirit, growth
happens. In Jude 20 we understand that we build ourselves up by doing so. What are we doing
with what God poured out? Half the church is arguing against the prayer language. We can all
have it. God is no respecter of persons. It is available to all so we can grow into our full
potential. If we forfeit our prayer language, the enemy stunts our growth and slows the process to
a crawl. There certainly is a lot of warfare over our growth!
Prayer
We declare Jesus to be Lord over our cities and nations. We pray for a move of God expressly to
bless our lands. We pray for understanding on how to provoke God to speak and act for us as
Israel did in Gen 46:1-5. Let that order follow us in Jesus Name. Give such confidence and
irrevocable assurance so that like Israel we can move forward as in Gen 46:1- 5 in Jesus Name.
