Pursuing Intimacy With God: Holy People of God 

• 1 Peter 1:15-16 “But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.””
• Hebrews 12:14 “Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.”
• 1 Peter 1:22  “Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere brotherly love, and love one another deeply from a pure heart.”

Dear Abba Father, we want to thank You and praise You for Your amazing grace during our time of prayer and fasting: the grace to keep our heart more focused and life more refined. Today we want to meditate on holiness for You are the only source of holiness. Father, You have called us to be holy, because You are holy; oh, reveal to us the deeper truth about holiness. Father, how You long for us to be holy for Your word teaches us that without holiness no one can see God. Help us understand that holiness is being set apart for You, not just being free from sin, and that we would stand up for the truth bravely without compromise. In addition, our hearts must be purified as we pursue peace with everyone, loving one another with sincere brotherly love from a pure heart.

Father, we desire to have a pure heart and clean hands. Oh that You would sprinkle our conscience with the blood of Jesus that we may be clothed with the robe of righteousness and be ready to meet You face to face. As we get closer to the fire of holiness, any uncleanness will be burned away, while anything that is holy will burn even brighter! Abba Father, in the light of Your holiness and glory, You lovingly ask each of us, “Child, are you ready?”

In the name of Lord Jesus we pray, Amen!

Repentance Prayer: Repentance for the City 09

• Deut 4:10 Remember the day you stood before the LORD your God at Horeb, when he said to me, “Assemble the people before me to hear my words so that they may learn to revere me as long as they live in the land and may teach them to their children.”
• Proverb 14:26  Whoever fears the LORD has a secure fortress, and for their children it will be a refuge.
• Malachi 4:6  He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike the land with total destruction.”

Abba Father, We ask You to forgive us for turning our back on You and forgive us for caring more about our children’s academic development than the cultivation of their character and spirituality.  Forgive us for not teaching our children to fear the Lord, to know the truth. To know God and have a close relationship with You.  Lord, we repent of all kinds of evils that have caused us to be far from You.   We ask You to return to every family and every school in our city that You would once again be the center of our lives.

Abba Father, we as parents acknowledge that we don’t know how to be parents, and  as a result the moral values of our young people are shaped by the mainstream media, creating a wall between the two generations.   We ask You to break down such a dividing wall between two generations, pour out the Father’s love and remove the curse of being orphan.   Heal the wounded souls and break the yoke of slavery.  Let us receive the heart of sonship and reconcile with You, our Father in heaven.    As our hearts turn to You, let the young people’s hearts also turn to their earthly fathers.  Let the families in this land no longer be cursed; Abba Father, let the parent-child relationship in every family be healed.  Restore the authority of the fatherhood that men would begin to carry their God-given responsibility in a family.   As the order of the family is restored, the enemy can no longer attack and cause harm to the family.

Abba Father, We also ask the You to raise up spiritual parents in the church to counsel, encourage, and guide the younger generation to make them know their identity and calling in love and truth and help them face the challenges of life with courage and strength.  Let them shine brightly in the midst of a crooked and wicked generation.

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Pray for Israel: Pray for Israel: The General Election on 9/17

【Background:  As the Israeli elections draw closer, things are now heating up as summer winds down and candidates prepare for the last stretch before the voting on September 17th. Most of the parties have saved up the bulk of their campaign funding for this final push over the next two weeks or so. Israel is a vibrant democracy, but the political conversation can get rather rough-and-tumble at times. Meanwhile, most polls show the new Blue & White list holding steady with the ruling Likud party at around 30-31 seats each. However, the Israeli public still does not exactly know the views and platform of Blue & White and their leaders, and how they differ from Likud or other factions.】(Source: Isaiah 62 Prayer Letter 9/2019, ICEJ)

Pray for Iran: Persecution, Can’t Separate Iranians From The Love of God

【Current Affairs : The Islamic Republic of Iran is a country that appears to be turbulent, mysterious, oppressive, and even haunted with the atmosphere of horror.  Muslims exceed 90% of the total population. However, in the past 40 years, the number of Iranian people who came to know Christ has multiplied exponentially, even more than the sum of Iranian Christians in the past 1400 years.

The people are disappointed with the Islamic regime: more and more Iranians, especially the younger generation of 18-30, when they saw such things as ISIS or other extremist groups killing each other in the name of “Alah”, when they saw depression caused by drug addiction,  suicide, sexually transmitted diseases, and human trafficking, and when they saw the government using religion as a tool of power, they became disappointed with Islam, and Islam could not answer their questions about society, life, and the dilemmas they were facing.

Muslims find answers in Jesus Christ:  Millions of Shia Islam followers begin to turn to Jesus Christ. Through the internet media of the “Heart4Iran Ministries”，  Christian satellite TV channels  and the collaboration with the fiery underground church’s evangelistic ministry, more and more Iranians, found the answers in Jesus Christ they could not find in their own culture! In 1994, the number of Christians was only 100,000.  By now, the number of Christians has reached 3 million, an amazing increase!

Is it legal to believe in Christianity in Iran? Believing in Christ is considered both “legal” and “illegal” in Iran. Because the Iranian Constitution does explicitly and publicly recognize and protect Christianity as a minority religion. This has given Christian churches in the Muslim world some limited freedom, but they are still more or less subject to discrimination and attacks by the “mainstream voice”.  The reason why it is not legal is because Iran does not recognize anyone has the right to abandon Islam, and prohibits Christians from preaching the Gospel to people with Muslim backgrounds.

Believers are persecuted but still spread the gospel fiercely: Anyone who gives up Islam to become Christian will be branded as an apostate, and the risks will vary from region to region: loss of work, abandonment by family, beatings, harassment, imprisonment, and even death penalty. But Christians in Iran and other parts of the Middle East are very resilient, faithful, and strong.  “When someone is baptized in the church, brothers and sisters will applaud with shout and excitement, just like welcoming the arrival of a new life.  Although they are persecuted, but their faces are filled with the infectious smile.”  They have found true joy in Jesus.

God is building His own church in Iran, where the Holy Spirit is changing life. The Iranian church is currently the fastest growing in the world. Even though it has no building, no corporate organization, no financial support, no centralized leadership, no denominations, but they are full of passion…

The authorities are trying to curb the trend of Christian growth:  the growing number of Christians have caused local panic:

• • The Kum Seminary, the largest Islamic seminary in Iran, is heading to the Muslim community to try to curb this trend.
  • In May of this year, Iranian intelligence minister Ma Alawi publicly expressed his concern about the spread of Christianity in Iran and “spoken” with some “apostates” to investigate the reasons behind it. The Gospel was persecuted in Iran, but to a certain extent it made the Gospel even more dynamic and vigorous, causing Iran to be the fastest growing country in the world!

As Spurgeon said: “At the time of trials, our confidence is greater!” What is rare is that the Iranian church has such precious confidence! When someone wants to pray for them and ask God to take away the persecution, they say, “No, don’t do this, because persecution will make the church grow. When the persecution stops, church growth stops. What we hope is for the gospel to spread widely and enter the deepest area of Iran.”

• Genesis 6:5 ‘The Lord observed the extent of human wickedness on the earth, and He saw that everything they thought or imagined was consistently and totally evil.’
• Proverbs 29:2 ‘When the righteous increases, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan.’
• Matthew 7:14 ‘But the gateway to life is very narrow, and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.’

【Alert: Democratic’s anti-God and anti Judeo-Christian values are trying to replace godly principles, with intended chaos through fake Christianity, sound science, universal and humanistic principles, Sodom family values and atheism. (Judg. 16:20b)

The recent revelation from Democratic Election Debates carried loud message calls for ‘rational public policy based on sound science and universal humanistic values’, tax-funded ‘unrestricted abortion’, family value of Sodom; confiscation of wealth for redistribution, just to name a few. (Gen. 6:5)

Stronghold Indicators (Prov. 29:2)

Democrats’ radical agenda is ripping off the biblical constitutions spiritually and politically: ‘Atheism’ is their new-found faith. In January 2019, the new Democratic-controlled House looked to pass a bill to take God out of the oath-taking sworn-in ceremony, but was immediately blocked by the House of Republicans.

Anti-Judeo Christian values ideology has been taking roots in their hearts, as the basis evil uses to build strongholds. These strongholds give the evil ungodly structure to carry out his plans on earth. These plans included blocking the advancement of the Kingdom of God, and the spiritual and political enslaving of humanity. It seems to have succeeded in blinding the Democrat party, the media and the popular culture.

Faith is back in America today (Mt. 7:14)

A researcher from ‘Focus on the Family’ wrote……

 ‘People who were nominal Christians in mainline denominations now describe themselves as unaffiliated, or none.  Meanwhile, evangelical churches are growing rapidly. Robust Christianity is not shrinking, not even among young adults. It’s holding quite firm and even growing in many important ways. On all contrary, it’s the increasing liberalized, orthodoxy-denying, and lukewarm faith that’s sinking as if it has a mill stone around its neck!’

 It’s encouraging to know the fabric of faith is being restored. Is it because of the increasing evil oppression of violence, crimes, death? The pain of losing our nation? The fall of morality and sanity? May God raise up America with the finishing faith like never before.
