Spirit Prayer

How do I pray for a downpour of the Holy spirit in my life? in my church? in my world?

 

Father, You are not obligated to grant the request of Your people as we join our voices in this prayer program.  We have done nothing to deserve any response from You.  It is only Your grace in the realiy of our extreme neediness that will bring Holy Spirit fire into our world today.

 

I need divine power in my life, power for overcoming, power for witness.  My church needs that power as we are too often fragmented by our differences and our stubborn pride.  Make us one in Your Spirit, Lord!  Anoint our leaders with heavenly wisdom, I pray.  This dying world needs to be bathed in Holy Spirit influence to drive back the forces of evil and prepare hearts of every nation to meet the coming King.  It is only Your Spirit who can open eyes that are blind to truth, only the Spirit who can unstop ears unable to hear Your warnings.  All must know just how much we need Jesus!

 

Fill me now, fill me now, come O come and fill me now;

Fill me with Thy hallowed presence, come, O come and fill me now!

 

Philippians 1:6   I am confident that He who has begun a good work in you will continue that work until the day of Jesus Christ.
