MINISTERING WITH TRUTH AND AUTHORITY, From 2 Corinthians 10

PRAYING FOR LOST LOVED ONES

MINISTERING WITH TRUTH AND AUTHORITY, From 2 Corinthians 10






2 Corinthians
7 You are judging by appearances.[a] If anyone is confident that they belong to Christ, they should consider again that we belong to Christ just as much as they do. 8 So even if I boast somewhat freely about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than tearing you down, I will not be ashamed of it. 9 I do not want to seem to be trying to frighten you with my letters. 10 For some say, “His letters are weighty and forceful, but in person he is unimpressive and his speaking amounts to nothing.” 11 Such people should realize that what we are in our letters when we are absent, we will be in our actions when we are present.


MINISTERING WITH TRUTH AND AUTHORITY, From 2 Corinthians 10


GENTLE AND HUMBLE IN HEART

LORD OF THE HARVEST, by Your grace Your servants are to be humble and gentle as our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who said:


Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. - Matthew 11:29


Even, so Your servants must not strive, but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.

Your servants are sometimes wrongfully accused by the church that they are living by the world's standards.


It is tempting to use harshness in defence.



WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.

The weapons we fight with are not weapons of the world.

On the contrary, these weapons have DIVINE POWER to demolish strongholds.

You have enabled Your servants to demolish arguments

and every pretension that sets itself up against Your word of knowledge.

You want for us to take captive every thiought and to make it obedient to Christ.



SEVER FALSE TEACHERS/TEACHINGS

Father God, Peter the apostle warns:

But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you.

They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves. -2 Peter 2:1

Therefore, the Apostle Paul exhorted by Your Spirit that the faithful are to be obedient,

and that there will be a readiness to punish every act of disobedience by the incorrigible.


THE AUTHORITY OF GOD'S MINISTERS

Our Father, the Berean Jews were of noble character for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

Thus we ought not to be confident to judge a person if they belong to Christ by their appearance.

May people and our lost loved ones, and the church not look at the ministers You appoint as unimpressive and their speaking as amounting to nothing,

May people not be frightened by those that write/speak Your Word in truth.

May You reveal to those that think the words that seem weighty and forceful come from You and not man.


The Lord Jesus taught with real authority--quite unlike the teachers of religious law.

You have given us Your children the authority for evil spirits to submit to us, but we rejoice that our names are written in heaven.

You also have appointed ministers with authority for building up, rather than tearing down, and there is no shame that comes with it.

We depend on Your Spirit of grace to not be only speakers/hearers of the word, but doers also.

We proclaim Your saving Gospel to the people and to our lost loved ones and pray


they will know You,


and glorify You as God


and give You thanks.

Deliver them from wrong thinking and bring light to their hearts.


PRIDE

Father, deliver our ministers from foolish pride, that they not get puffed up in importance, comparing themselves with other ministers,

using themselves as the standard of measurement.

Also, that they take not credit for the work others have done.

This is ignorance.

But,

“Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”


For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom You the Lord commends.

Thus, may Your servants instead boast of You, of what You've done in their lives and in their ministry.

You use Your servants as Your chosen instruments in service that You have personally assigned to build up Your church and win the lost.

  OUR HOPE

Father, our hope is that our faith continues to grow, and our sphere of activity in the church will greatly expand.

We pray the preaching of the gospel will reach beyond the regions already reached. Also, reach our lost loved ones, LORD!

2 Corinthians 6:14-18

King James Version (KJV)

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

THIRST AND HUNGER NO MORE, prayers for those that drink






PRAYERS FOR LOST LOVED ONES THAT SUFFER FROM INTOXICATING DRINK

LORD, may Your almighty love, grace, and mercy be with all of the people that suffer from this evil tool satan uses; let them be free in Your name! Amen.

LORD, lead them to the right path you have chosen for them in Jesus name
We pray that all those who suffer from the disease of alcoholism will find peace. May they find the strength and wisdom to follow the path to sobriety.

God hear our prayers and bless everyone with your power to be relieved of this affliction.

Lord we pray that You speak to the heart of our loved ones that have turned to alcohol as an escape for their weaknesses and sorrows. Please show them what they are doing to themselves and their families, and show them that there is a way out and a better life for them. May they draw strength from You, Lord, we ask in Jesus sweet name amen.

LORD, please help us that are dealing with loved ones that struggle with alcohol and drug addiction. Give us the strength and wisdom to help them with Your help.

LORD, They become violent and angry, but deep within them this is not who they really are, or at least not who You meant for them to be nor they themselves want to be. We pray, in Jesus name that You remove from them this destructive tool of the devil and give them an abundant life in You.

LORD, for those that have loved ones that drink, teach us all to forgive, understand, and show love while setting the right kind of boundaries. Please help us. It's not easy and we feel tired, but we love them. Please bring healing to them and to us and help us make the right decisions everyday. In Christ Jesus name, Amen.

 
“…but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” John 4:14

Father God, we pray our lost loved ones drink of the water the Lord Jesus Your Son offers. They will no longer thirst for harmful drink, but will drink of the living water that You give them that will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life. We pray in Jesus name, amen.

 
Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty. - John 6:35

Bread of life, lead our lost love ones to come to You, so that they will never go hungry. Help them to believe in You so that they will never be thirsty, we pray in Jesus name. Amen.

CHRIST HAS INDEED BEEN RAISED FROM THE DEAD, AND THERE IS A RESURRECTION OF THOSE ALSO WHO HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP IN CHRIST, 1 Corinthians 15, pt 2

who can know it. - Jeremiah 17:9

PRAYING FOR LOST LOVED ONES










Rise Again
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkIJfLfzZ0w

IF THERE IS NO RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD

Some said there is no resurrection of the dead.

IF there is no resurrection of the dead,

then not even Christ has been raised.

And IF Christ has not been raised,

our preaching is useless and so is your faith

Now if there is no resurrection, and IF the dead are not

not raised,

what will those do who are baptized for the dead?

why are people baptized for them?

And as for us, the Apostle Paul said,

why do we endanger ourselves every hour?”

The Apostle Paul said he faced death every day,

fought with “wild beasts” in Ephesus with no more than

human hopes.

For what gains IF the dead are not raised.

IF the dead are not raised,

then God did not raise Christ from the dead

IF in fact the dead are not raised.

For IF the dead are not raised,

then Christ has not been raised either.



And IF Christ has not been raised,

your faith is futile;

and you are still in your sins.

Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost.

If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all

people most to be pitied.

IF the dead are not raised, then

“Let us eat and drink,==for tomorrow we die.”

Moreover, IF the dead are not raised,

we are then found to be false witnesses about God,

for the Apostle Paul and the church has testified about

God that He raised Christ from the dead.


Father God, Your Spirit reiterated in no uncertain terms that Jesus Christ is raised from the dead. We pray for our lost loved ones that they believe this, and that there is also a resurrection of those who sleep in Jesus, for this is the hope of our salvation.

As your Word states in Romans 10:9

That if you confess with your mouth,

"Jesus is Lord,"

and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.


 
WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN TAUGHT, AND WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE?

Do not be misled:

“Bad company corrupts good character.”

Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning:

For there are some who are to their shame ignorant of God.



CHRIST HAS INDEED BEEN RAISED FROM THE DEAD,

the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.

In this order:

Christ the first fruits,

Then, when the end comes, those who belong to Him.

When the end comes, He will hand over the kingdom

to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion,

authority and power. For He must first reign until He has

put all His enemies under His feet. The last enemy to be

destroyed is death. For He “has put everything under

His feet.” Now when it says that “everything” has been

put under Him, it is clear that this does not include God

Himself, who put everything under Christ. When He has

done this, then the Son Himself will be made subject to

Him who put everything under Him, so that God may be

all in all.


LORD, in the name of the Lord Jesus deliver our lost loved ones from the doctrine of the sad Sadducees that denies any resurrection of the dead. Help to bring our lost loved ones into the lively hope of Your Son coming for Your believers as Your Word ascertains:

Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day--and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. - 2 Timothy 4:8

 

WHY WE DIE

Death came through man;

for as in Adam all die.

The sting of death is sin,

and the power of sin is the law.
.

BUT THANKS BE TO GOD!

He gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.


Father God, especially those that don’t know You, blame You for people dying. Help them to understand that death came into the world through the disobedience (sin) of Adam, and death by sin because we all sinned (broke Your laws). We’ve all came short of Your glory.

But ever since Adam and Eve sinned, You promised salvation and have brought all believers of Your Promise victory through our Lord Jesus Christ, the Promised One. Thank You, LORD! Help our lost loved ones to believe in Your Promise by believing in the Promised One, the Lord Jesus Christ.


And I will cause hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel." - Genesis 3:15
After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.
- Genesis 3:24


Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life that is in Christ Jesus,
- 2 Timothy 1:1

And this is what he promised us--even eternal life.
- 1 John 2:25

THE RESURRECTION

The resurrection of the dead comes also through a man;

in Christ all will be made alive.

Father God, Your Word became flesh, born of a virgin and of Your Spirit. Your Word who was with You in the beginning, by Whom You made all created things, did not hold on to His deity, so that as a man He could die, being the perfect sacrifice You needed--without mar nor sin--to atone for our sins on the cross of Calvary. He said the devil had nothing in Him. Witnesses that testified against him to crucify him had to lie, because he was perfect. He became the spotless, unblemished Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world--our sins--praise God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the three in One God.

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. - 1 John 5:7

Father God, You have removed from Your people the bondage of fearing death because of what the Lord Jesus did for us. We have eternal life in Him because He is our personal and sufficient Lord and Savior. As sure as He rose from the dead, those that sleep in Him will also rise! Thank You LORD in Jesus name!

“I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
- John 11:25-26

HOW ARE THE DEAD RAISE?

With what kind of body will they come?

What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

When you sow, you do not plant the body that it will be,

but just a seed (ex. wheat or of something else.)

But God gives it a body as he has determined,

and to each kind of seed He gives its own body.

Not all flesh is the same.

People have one kind of flesh,

animals have another.

Birds have a kind of flesh, and fish another.

There are also heavenly bodies

and there are earthly bodies;


but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind,

and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another.

The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another

and the stars another;

and star differs from star in splendor.

Father God, anyone that testifies Your Word is true but believes in evolution needs to pay attention to what You said in this Scripture. Nothing living that You created evolves into another kind of flesh.

The body people die in is like the seed that is sown, but it will be a glorious body when it springs up as you describe in the Scriptures below! Praise God!

THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD

So will be the resurrection of the dead.

The body that is sown is perishable,

it is
raised imperishable.
It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory;
it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;
it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.
There is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

The Scriptures tell us,

"The first man, Adam, became a living
person."
But the last Adam--that is, Christ--is a life-giving Spirit.
A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" - John 20:26

Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have." - Luke 24:39

When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate it in their presence.
-Luke 24:40-42

The spiritual did not come first,

but the natural, and
after that the spiritual.
The first man was of the dust of the earth;
the second man is of heaven.
As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth;
and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are in heaven.
And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man,
so shall
we bear the image of the heavenly man.
HERE’S A DECLARATION OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE BROTHERS & SISTERS IN CHRIST

Flesh and blood cannot inherit
the kingdom of God,
nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

Listen, we have been told a mystery:

We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed.
The dead will be raised imperishable,
for the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable,
and the mortal with immortality.

IT WILL HAPPEN:


in a flash,

in the twinkling of an eye,

at the last trumpet, for the trumpet shall sound.

When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality,

Then the saying that is written will come true:

“Death has been swallowed up in victory.”

“Where, O death, is your victory?

Where, O death, is your sting?”

THEREFORE
my dear brothers and sisters,
  • Stand firm.
  • Let nothing move you.
  • Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord,
Because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. - Romans 8:20-25

LORD, we pray our lost loved ones also have this hope that we have, and this gives us reason to stand firm and not allow anything to move us, and to give ourselves fully to the work You’ve given us knowing that our labor in You is not in vain. Save our lost loved ones, we pray in Jesus name. Thank You, LORD.

From 1 Corinthians 15
