On or around the 27th night of Ramadan, Muslims celebrate the “Night of Power” as a special time that their prayers and good deeds count for more. They believe their chance of getting their prayers answered and miracles done are increased on this night. Pray for multitudes of Muslims from Nashville to encounter Jesus tonight in a dream or vision.
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
Jesus is full of truth:
“We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).
Pray for Christians from a Muslim background in Nashville to model Jesus to those around them and to daily grow in being full of grace and truth.
“All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of Nashville shall worship before you” (Psalm 22:27).
We declare today that the people of Nashville are destined to worship you and obey you, to love you and to enjoy you, forever. Lord, we ask that all the sects, tribes, and families of Nashville shall remember you and turn to you; every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess that Christ is the Lord.
Pray that Christians in Nashville will recognize the specific spiritual gifts that God has given them and wisely use those to serve.
Father, hear our cries. Rend the heavens and come down. Your arm, O Mighty One, is not too short that it cannot save. Rise, O Mighty One, to show compassion. A bruised reed you never break, and a smoldering wick you never snuff out.
O Father! Nashville is bruised, and Nashville is smoldering. Lord have mercy; Christ have mercy. Come and do miracles today in Nashville. Raise the dead. Save the nation. Spread your fame. Transform this people. Recreate all our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Amen
PRAISE
“And many [Nashville] nations shall join themselves to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people. And I will dwell in your midst, and you shall know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.” (Zechariah 2:11)
KINGDOM COME
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.” (Matthew 25:34-36)
Thank you, Lord, that you have prepared Nashville to enter your kingdom from the foundation of the world. May every believer in this city and state do the good works [feeding the hungry; giving water to the thirsty; etc.] that you prepared in advance for them to do (Ephesians 2:10).
PRAY THE BOOK OF ACTS
“Proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance.” (Acts 28:31) Just as the story of Acts ended with Paul living this verse out, Lord, we pray believers in Nashville would proclaim your Kingdom, oh God, and teach about you, Lord, with all boldness and without hindrance until their last breath.
PRAY THE HALL OF FAITH
“Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, so that they might rise again to a better life. Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed with the sword.” (Hebrews 11:35b-37) Lord, give all believers in Nashville perseverance in the face of persecution. Comfort them by the great cloud of witnesses that have gone before them, witnesses like those described in these verses.
