Pray for the Health, Purity, and Holiness of the Church

Intercession 5.5 | KJV

For the amending of every thing that is amiss in the church, the reviving of primitive Christianity and the power of godliness, and, in order thereunto, the pouring out of the Spirit.

Lord, let thy Spirit be poured out upon thy churches from on high, and then the wilderness shall become a fruitful field, Isaiah 32:15(KJV) then judgment shall return unto righteousness, and all the upright in heart shall follow it. Psalm 94:15(KJV)

Let what is wanting be set in order, Titus 1:5(KJV) and let every plant that is not of my heavenly Father’s planting be plucked up. Matthew 15:13(KJV)

Let the Lord whom I seek come to his temple like a refiner’s fire and fullers’ soap, and let him purify the sons of Levi and all the seed of Israel, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering unto righteousness, pleasant to the Lord, as in the days of old, as in former years. Malachi 3:2-4(KJV)

Let pure religion, and undefiled before God and the Father, flourish and prevail every where; James 1:27(KJV) that kingdom of God among men, which is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. Romans 14:17(KJV) O revive this work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known, Habakkuk 3:2(KJV) and let these times be times of reformation. Hebrews 9:10(KJV)

Pray for the Conversion of Non-Christians who are Hostile to Christianity

Intercession 5.4 | KJV

For the conviction and conversion of atheists, deists, and infidels, and of all that are out of the way of truth, and of profane scoffers and those that disgrace Christianity by their vicious and immoral lives.

O teach transgressors thy ways, and let sinners be converted unto thee. Psalm 51:13(KJV)

O give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth, 2 Timothy 2:25(KJV) the truth as it is in Jesus, Ephesians 4:21(KJV) the truth which is according to godliness; Titus 1:1(KJV) that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil. 2 Timothy 2:26(KJV)

Let those that are as sheep going astray return to Jesus Christ, the Shepherd and Bishop of his people’s souls. 1 Peter 2:25(KJV)

Show those fools their folly and misery that have said in their hearts, There is no God, and that are corrupt and have done abominable works. Psalm 14:1(KJV)

Lord, maintain the honour of the scripture, the law and the testimony, and convince those who speak not according to that word, that it is because there is no light in them. Isaiah 8:20(KJV) Magnify that word above all thy name; Psalm 138:2(KJV) magnify the law, magnify the gospel, and make both honourable. Isaiah 42:21(KJV)

Let those that will not be won by the word, be won by the conversation of Christians, 1 Peter 3:1(KJV) which I beg may be such in every thing that they who believe not may be convinced of all and judged of all, may be brought to worship God and to report that God is with them of a truth. 1 Corinthians 14:24-25(KJV)

Pray for the Universal Church

Intercession 5.3 | KJV

For the universal church, wherever dispersed, and for all the interests of it.

My heart’s desire and prayer to God for the gospel-Israel is that it may be saved. Romans 10:1(KJV)

Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion; build the walls of Jerusalem. Psalm 51:18(KJV) Peace be within her walls and prosperity within her palaces. For my brethren and companions’ sake, I will now say, Peace be within her. Psalm 122:7-8(KJV)

O that I may see the good of the gospel-Jerusalem all the days of my life and peace upon Israel. Psalm 128:5-6(KJV) And that, thus, I may have reason to answer the messengers of the nations, that the Lord hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust to that. Isaiah 14:32(KJV)

Save thy people, O Lord, and bless thine heritage; feed them also, and lift them up for ever. Psalm 28:9(KJV) Give strength unto thy people, and bless thy people with peace; Psalm 29:11(KJV) with thy favour do thou compass them as with a shield. Psalm 5:12(KJV)

Grace be with all them that love the Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity; Ephesians 6:24(KJV) for thou knowest them that are thine, and give to all that name the name of Christ to depart from iniquity. 2 Timothy 2:19(KJV)

I pray for all that believe in Christ, that they all may be one; John 17:20-21(KJV) and since there is one body and one Spirit and one hope of our calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father of all, Ephesians 4:4-6(KJV) give to all Christians to be of one heart and one way. Jeremiah 32:39(KJV)

Let the word of the Lord in all places have a free course, and let it be glorified. 2 Thessalonians 3:1(KJV)

Pray for Jewish Conversions, Churches Threatened by Islam, and Churches on the Mission Field

Intercession 5.2 | KJV

For the conversion of the Jews.

Let the branches which are broken off not abide still in unbelief, Romans 11:17(KJV) but be grafted in again into their own olive-tree. And though blindness is in part happened to Israel, yet let the fulness of the Gentiles come in, and let all Israel be saved. Romans 11:23-26(KJV)

Let them be made to look upon him whom they have pierced; Zechariah 12:10(KJV) and, that they turn to the Lord, let the veil which is upon their hearts be taken away. 2 Corinthians 3:15-16(KJV)

For the Eastern churches that are groaning under the yoke of Mahometan* tyranny.

Let the churches of Asia, that were golden candlesticks, Revelation 1:11-12(KJV) which the Lord Jesus delighted to walk in the midst of, be again made so. Revelation 2:1(KJV)

Restore unto them their liberties as at first and their privileges as at the beginning; purely purge away their dross, and take away all their tin, Isaiah 1:25-26(KJV) and turn again their captivity, as streams in the south. Psalm 126:4(KJV)

For the churches in the plantations.

Be thou the confidence of all the ends of the earth and of those that are afar off beyond the sea; Psalm 65:5(KJV) and let them have the blessing which came upon the head of Joseph and upon the crown of the head of him that was separated from his brethren, even to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills. Genesis 49:26(KJV)

Create peace to those that are afar off, as well as to those that are nigh. Isaiah 57:19(KJV)

And let those that suck of the abundance of the seas and of treasures hid in the sand, call the people to the mountain, that they may offer sacrifices of righteousness. Deuteronomy 33:19(KJV)

* Mahometan is an archaic spelling of Mohammedan, or as we commonly say today, Muslim (Moslem). Editor.

Pray for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Lands

Intercession 5.1 | KJV

For the propagating of the gospel in foreign parts and the enlargement of the church by the bringing in of many to it.

O let the gospel be preached unto every creature; Mark 16:15(KJV) for how shall men believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without preachers? And how shall they preach except they be sent? Romans 10:14-15(KJV) And who shall send forth labourers but the Lord of the harvest? Matthew 9:38(KJV)

Let the people which sit in darkness see a great light, and to them which sit in the regions and shadow of death, let light spring up. Matthew 4:16(KJV)

Add unto thy church daily such as shall be saved; Acts 2:47(KJV) enlarge the place of its tents, lengthen its cords, and strengthen its stakes. Isaiah 54:2(KJV)

Bring thy seed from the east and gather them from the west; say to the north, Give up, and to the south, Keep not back: bring thy sons from far, and thy daughters from the ends of the earth. Isaiah 43:5-6(KJV) Let them come with acceptance to thine altar, and glorify the house of thy glory; let them fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows. Isaiah 60:7-8(KJV)

In every place let incense be offered to thy name and pure offerings; and from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, let thy name be great among the Gentiles, Malachi 1:11(KJV) and let the offering up of the Gentiles be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost. Romans 15:16(KJV)

O let the earth be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea. Isaiah 11:9(KJV)

Introduction and Exhortation to Pray for the Whole Lost World of Mankind

Intercession 5.0 | KJV

The Lord Jesus has taught us to pray, not only with, but for others; and the apostle has appointed us to make supplication for all the saints, Ephesians 6:18(KJV) and many of his prayers in his epistles are for his friends. And we must not think that when we are in this part of prayer, we may let fall our fervency and be more indifferent because we ourselves are not immediately concerned in it; but rather, let a holy fire of love, both to God and man, here make our devotion yet more warm and lively.

We must pray for the whole world of mankind, the lost world; and thus, we must honor everyone, 1 Peter 2:17(KJV) and, according to our capacity, do good to everyone. Galatians 6:10(KJV)

I pray, as I am taught, for all men, believing that this is good and acceptable in the sight of God my Saviour, who will have all men to be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth and of Jesus Christ, 1 Timothy 2:3-4(KJV) who gave himself a ransom for all. 1 Timothy 2:6(KJV)

O look with compassion upon the world that lies in wickedness, 1 John 5:19(KJV) and let the prince of this world be cast out, John 12:31(KJV) that has blinded their minds. 2 Corinthians 4:4(KJV)

O let thy way be known upon earth, Psalm 67:2(KJV) that barbarous nations may be civilized, and those that live without God in the world may be brought to the service of the living God; Ephesians 2:12(KJV) and thus, let thy saving health be known unto all nations. Let the people praise thee, O God; yea, let all the people praise thee: O let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for thou shalt judge the people righteously and govern the nations upon earth. Psalm 67:2-4(KJV)

O let thy salvation and thy righteousness be openly showed in the sight of the heathen, and let all the ends of the earth see the salvation of God. Psalm 98:2-3(KJV)

O give thy Son the heathen for his inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth for his possession; Psalm 2:8(KJV) for thou hast said, It is a light thing for him to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved of Israel, but thou wilt give him for a light to the Gentiles. Isaiah 49:6(KJV)

Let all the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of the Lord and of his Christ. Revelation 11:15(KJV)

Thank God for the Performance of His Promises

Thanksgiving 4.41 | KJV

For the performance of God’s promises.

Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word, Psalm 119:65(KJV) and thou hast been ever mindful of thy covenant, the word which thou hast commanded to a thousand generations. Psalm 105:8(KJV)

There hath not failed one word of all the good promise, 1 Kings 8:56(KJV) which thou hast promised to David thy servant and Israel thy people. 1 Kings 8:66(KJV)

And now, what shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits towards me? Psalm 116:12(KJV) Let my soul return to him and repose in him as its rest, because he hath dealt bountifully with me: Psalm 116:7(KJV) I will take the cup of my salvation and call upon the name of the Lord; Psalm 116:13(KJV) for the Lord is good, his mercy is everlasting, and his truth endureth to all generations. Psalm 100:5(KJV)

I will bless the Lord at all times, yea, his praise shall continually be in my mouth; Psalm 34:1(KJV) I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live; Psalm 104:33(KJV) and I hope to be shortly with those blessed ones who dwell in his house above and are still praising him and who rest not day or night from saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty. Revelation 4:8(KJV)

Thank God for Support Under your Afflictions

Thanksgiving 4.40 | KJV

For support under my afflictions, and spiritual benefit and advantage by them.

Thou hast comforted me in all my tribulation; 2 Corinthians 1:4(KJV) hast considered my trouble, and known my soul in adversity, Psalm 31:7(KJV) and showed me thy marvellous kindness, as in a strong city. Psalm 31:21(KJV)

When afflictions have abounded, consolations have much more abounded. 2 Corinthians 1:5(KJV)

Though no afflictions for the present have been joyous, but grievous; nevertheless, afterwards it hath yielded the peaceable fruit of righteousness, and hath proved to be for my profit, that I might be a partaker of thy holiness. Hebrews 12:10-11(KJV)

I have had reason to say that it was good for me I was afflicted, that I might learn thy commandments; Psalm 119:71(KJV) for before I was afflicted I went astray, but afterwards have kept thy word. Psalm 119:67(KJV)

It has been but for a season and when there was need, that I have been in heaviness, through manifold temptations; and I beg that all the trials of my faith may be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen, I love, in whom, though I now see him not, yet believing, I rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory, and am longing to receive the end of my faith, even the salvation of my soul. 1 Peter 1:6-9(KJV)

Thank God for Gracious Answers to your Prayers

Thanksgiving 4.39 | KJV

For gracious answers to my prayers.

I have reason to love thee, O Lord, because thou hast heard the voice of my supplications, Psalm 130:2(KJV) and because thou hast inclined thine ear unto me; I will therefore call upon thee as long as I live. Psalm 116:1-2(KJV)

Out of the depths I have called unto thee, O Lord, Psalm 130:1(KJV) and thou hast heard my vows and given me the heritage of those that fear thy name. Psalm 61:5(KJV)

Nay, before I have called, thou hast answered; and while I have been yet speaking, thou hast heard, Isaiah 65:24(KJV) and hast said, Here I am, Isaiah 58:9(KJV) and hast been nigh unto me in all that which I call unto thee for. Deuteronomy 4:7(KJV)

Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble; thou wilt prepare their heart and cause thine ear to hear. Psalm 10:17(KJV)

Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer or his mercy from me; Psalm 66:20(KJV) for I have prayed and have gone away, and my countenance has been no more sad. 1 Samuel 1:18(KJV)

Thank God for Sweet Communion with Him in Holy Ordinances

Thanksgiving 4.38 | KJV

For sweet communion with God in holy ordinances, and the communications of his favour.

I have been abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house, and thou hast made me drink of the river of thy pleasures: for with thee is the fountain of life; in thy light I shall see light. Psalm 36:8-9(KJV)

Thou hast brought me to thy holy mountain and made me joyful in thy house of prayer; Isaiah 56:7(KJV) and I found it good for me to draw near to God. Psalm 73:28(KJV)

I have reason to say that a day in thy courts is better than a thousand, and that it is better to be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness; for the Lord God is a sun and shield; he will give grace and glory, and no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly: O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee. Psalm 84:10-12(KJV)

I have sitten down under thy shadow with delight, and thy fruit hath been sweet unto my taste; thou hast brought me into the banqueting house, and thy banner over me has been love. Song of Solomon 2:3-4(KJV)
