Islam teaches an emotional worldview that Muslims are superior to non-Muslims. Lord, help believers in Nashville shed the sins that so easily entangle them and instead put on their “new self” finding their value comes from You.
Each of us who comes to Christ must repent of and renounce every pact, promise, or identity we held before faith in Christ. Join us in praying for our brothers and sisters in Christ from a Muslim background as they repent of their former identity as Muslims. This prayer is inspired by chapter 7 and 8 of Liberty to the Captives by Mark Durie
Lord help new followers of Christ in Nashville renounce attitudes that place people in positions of superiority or inferiority. Let them, instead, follow Jesus’ humble example in Philippians 2:5-11, “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness…”
“Jesus said to her, ‘Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life’” (John 4:13,14).
Pray for divine satisfaction in Christ to be released over all peoples in Nashville.
Pray that God, in His mercy, would liberate the time, attention, and energy of the people of Nashville for His purposes in His Kingdom.
Pray for Christians to meet needs, preferably supernaturally through the Lord, and that their family members and friends would be witnesses of God’s provision.
Lord, please lead Nashville back to its true source of life – the fountain of living water, the light by which we see, the One true Christ. In You, O Lord, may we never thirst again.
Amen
PRAISE
“Sing praises to the Lord, who sits enthroned in Zion! Tell among the [Nashville] peoples his deeds!” (Psalm 9:11)
KINGDOM COME
“Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 18:3)
Father, please continue to teach and reveal your upside-down and inside-out Kingdom priorities to every Christian in Nashville. We pray that child-like faith would be used by you to bring many in Nashville into your presence.
PRAY THE BOOK OF ACTS
“After greeting them, he related one by one the things that God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry. And when they heard it, they glorified God.” (Acts 21:19-20) May the retelling of the stories of grace in Nashville result in great glory to God and spur on workers of the Gospel in neighboring cities and states.
PRAY THE HALL OF FAITH
“By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured as seeing him who is invisible.” (Hebrews 11:27) Fear is a powerful weapon of the enemy in Nashville. As you draw men and women to yourself, Lord, help them fix their eyes on you instead of on their fears.
