Ohana Prayer 411 – 1 Thessalonians 3

For this reason, when I could no longer endure the suspense, I sent someone to find out about your faith [how you were holding up under pressure], for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you and our work [among you] would prove to be ineffective. I Thes 3:5 (AMP)

Early in the morning in the sunrise, we praise Adonai! Elohim is the highest and almighty! Before we are contaminated by any uncleanness in the dawn hours, we prostrated ourselves before our living God, waiting to hear Words from You. Letting go of our yesterdays and readied for the comings of the day. Grant us the understanding and the lighting of Your Word shines out our unclean spots of our minds. Because we rely on You wholeheartedly, we have enough ability today to carry Your blessings and carry out today’s mission with confidence. Send the message of faith to everyone’s heart, put the guidepost of hope in every corner, sow the seeds of love on everyone’s heart, pour the rain from the sky on every young tree sapling, and declare as you walk.: The Lord will take care of it! May you be safe! May the Lord bless!

Dear Lord Jesus, You came to express, demonstrate, witness, that Elohim is love! We shall follow Your footprints as well as handprints that brings forth blessings and witness to the world. Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place even to lay his head while You were here with us on earth. But You have gone ahead to prepare a place of grandeur. As well as an earthly dwelling, changes of garments, meals for nourishment! However, we have only focused on the earthly things, what to wear, what to eat, cannot travel or eating out. Forgive us! Re-energize our soul! Open our spiritual eyes to see where the needs are and to fill it! See the pain and sorrow of the weak ones, no empathy for the sick and lonely ones, neglected to pray and intercede for others, failed holding-hands of build upon each other’s faith. Stir our hearts and souls to reach out, and not just minding of our familiar ones, to those who lost their way and strayed from the path. Forgive us because of generation gaps, differences and impatience, for we have lost the prerequisite of harmonious coexistence, and even caused a gap, lost the basic heart of unity, and lost the initial love.

Dear Holy Spirit, You are stronger than any bonding glue, knot tied together cannot be loosened! Even so, we are praying to use such force to bond our hearts together, rope tied together our boats of souls so we would not drift apart. Then, we can face anything together, even the tidal wave of the pandemic. Bind the churches together and as a platform to carry out the Great Commission so the believers can walk together without being tossed around. Holy Spirit, we ask You to unplug the seal of our jade bottle imprinted with fire lacquer, pour out Your blessings, and even smash our proud, selfish, and arrogant gift jade bottle. In this difficult age of the last days, the hard work will not be in vain. To awaken our enlightenment and receive Your blessings, favors of grace, missions and positions, is to shine for this moment and to fill the deficiencies of this generation. Let us, in our homes, in churches, and in the community to produce of the sweet fragrance of Christ, that wherever we dwell, it will be blessed there, and to the church, and that church will prosper. Let us be Christ’s sons of peace, pour cold water on the places of division, and fuel the weak lights, so that the world can see a way out from disasters and hardships, and see the true light of Christ coming back to the earth.

Pray this in the holy name of Yashua. Amen.

1 Thessalonians 3

1-13 So when we could stand it no longer, we thought it best to be left by ourselves in Athens. We sent Timothy, who is our brother and co-worker in God’s service in spreading the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith, so that no one would be unsettled by these trials. For you know quite well that we are destined for them. In fact, when we were with you, we kept telling you that we would be persecuted. And it turned out that way, as you well know. For this reason, when I could stand it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith. I was afraid that in some way the tempter had tempted you and that our labors might have been in vain. But Timothy has just now come to us from you and has brought good news about your faith and love. He has told us that you always have pleasant memories of us and that you long to see us, just as we also long to see you. Therefore, brothers and sisters, in all our distress and persecution we were encouraged about you because of your faith. For now we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord. How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you? Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you again and supply what is lacking in your faith. Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus clear the way for us to come to you. May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones.
