Last night many Muslims celebrated the “Night of Power” hoping that God would show up miraculously to change their circumstances (health, financial, relational, etc.). We continue to pray that they would encounter Jesus who already miraculously “showed up” as the Word who became flesh to change their current realities and eternity through His life, death, and resurrection.
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
We have authority in Christ to speak the truth in love, with boldness. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit” (Proverbs 18:21). Pray for Christians from a Muslim background in Nashville to use their tongues to speak of the life found in Christ to those around them today.
“And many [people in Nashville] 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).
Lord, it is your will, your deep desire, that Muslims in Nashville shall join themselves to you. You long for them to become your people, and you promise to dwell in their midst. Lord, again, we ask for you to dwell in Nashville, among all of the peoples in it. Inhabit their homes. Fill their hearts. Overflow into their neighborhoods. Make them into your special people, a blessing for the nations around them.
Amen
When Christians in Nashville look to the West they see large buildings and programming. But what is the essence of the church? What is its function? Pray that Christians will look to the Word of God as they start house churches, and not be overwhelmed by extra-biblical expectations.
Ask that Jesus, the Lord of the Harvest, would release more workers into his fields in Nashville. And pray that these workers would come from the harvest. We need more workers in Nashville. Pray that workers from the same background as the harvest would be sent into the fields to sow and to reap, and ask that laughter would be granted to the sower as well as great joy for the reaper. Amen!
PRAISE
“O Lord, God of our fathers, are you not God in heaven? You rule over all the kingdoms of the nations [including Nashville peoples]. In your hand are power and might, so that none is able to withstand you. (2 Chronicles 20:6)
KINGDOM COME
“And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” (Matthew 24:14)
Until you return, may the passion of your church, both within Nashville and beyond be the proclamation of the gospel of your Kingdom among all nations.
PRAY THE BOOK OF ACTS
“Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul...” (Acts 4:32a) We praise you, Lord, for the ways believers in Nashville care for one another. We pray for your Bride in this land to continue to grow in unity and love for one another.
PRAY THE HALL OF FAITH
“And all these, though commended through their faith, did not receive what was promised, since God had provided something better for us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.” (Hebrews 11:39-40) Thank you, Lord, for the beautiful tapestry of faith you are weaving through believers across the centuries. We pray for many Nashvillians to be brought into this promise, even during this month of Ramadan. Amen!
PRAYER
Father, we pray for believers in Nashville to have and use tools like Generational Maps to understand the growth of their disciples and churches. https://zume.training/generational-mapping/
PRAISE
“For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name will be great among the [Nashville] nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering. For my name will be great among the [Nashville] nations, says the Lord of hosts.” (Malachi 1:11)
KINGDOM COME
“I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.” (Matthew 26:29)
Even more strongly than fasting Nashville today long for their thirst to be quenched and their bellies to be filled with extravagant food, may your Church’s anticipation be growing for the day when Jesus drinks again of the fruit of the vine that He secured through His death, burial, and resurrection. We pray that there will be many in Nashville from every people group around that table.
PRAY THE BOOK OF ACTS
Thank you, Lord, for the example of the book of Acts, continue these stories and events in Nashville today. We pray for unprecedented Kingdom advance this year in Nashville!
PRAY THE HALL OF FAITH
“They went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated – of whom the world was not worthy – wandering about in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.” (Hebrews 11:37-38) Father, thank you for our many brothers and sisters in Nashville – of whom the world is not worthy. Protect them from the evil one and preserve their faith. May every persecution only strengthen their resolve and demonstrate the treasure of Christ.
PRAYER
Father, we pray for believers in Nashville to learn simple tools like Four Fields to reflect on the status of current efforts and kingdom activity around them. https://zume.training/four-fields-tool/
