The Apostles’ Creed*

I believe in God the Father Almighty, 
Creator of heaven and earth. 
And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord; 
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, 
born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, 
was crucified, dead, and buried; 
He descended into hell; the third day He rose again 
from the dead; He ascended into heaven, 
and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; 
from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. 
I believe in the Holy Spirit; the holy  Church; 
the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; 
and life everlasting, Amen

The Bible teaches us how to PRAY…

The Lord’s Prayer

   ⁹ “This, then, is how you should pray:

Pray the Armor of  God on yourself, your family, our President, America, and all nations…

Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.

Ephesian 6:11

The Bible leaves us in no doubt that believers ought to pray:

“Men ought always to pray and not to faint” (Luke 18:1).
“Pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17).

“In everything by prayer and supplication let your requests be made known unto God” (Philippians 4:6, R.S.V.).

More specific prayers will be added each week for you to join Lighthouse Intercessors in communing with our God!

Prayer for China-The Year of the Dragon

The Chinese declare on their New Year an animal or other creature as the focus for the year.  This is the Chinese New Year of the DRAGON. 

I want to share with you for prayer what the Lord gave me  on August 19, 2011. 

 I was in prayer and saw a map of China.  I then saw a large Red Dragon and the Lord said, “This dragon is thirsty for blood.”  I asked the Lord how to pray against it and how to starve it.  He said my weapon was “Shalom”  and to pray for the Shalom of God–the PEACE of God to come upon the families of China.  To pray for peace for even those planning for war. 

I asked Him to send out angels of peace to go and minister a desire for true peace.  In intercession I saw abortions being prevented because of the release of peace.  Let women have their babies and their wombs be blessed.  I spoke life over the Chinese, the life of God.  No more sacrifices.  Yeshua did it all. 

 I saw churches and families circling up like a band, encircling and prayed for a hedge of protection around them.  I prayed no more isolation for the Chinese believers.

Then I asked the Lord to disperse angels of healing, especially for the healing of blood diseases and death.  I asked for the release of resurrection power.  Let healing revivals break out with multitudes healed in China Lord!  Break off the plans of the warlords with Shalom and with healing and life.  No more blood for the Dragon.

Please continue to pray for China.   The Chinese church  is one of the fastest growing churches in the world today in spite of persecution.

PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM

As all the nations turn against Jerusalem, we decree the following scripture:

“But you, O Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, you descendants of Abraham my friend, I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farest corners I called you. I said, ‘You are my servant; I have chosen you and have not rejected you.’  So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and desgraced; those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish. Though you search for your enemies, you wil not find them. Those who wage war against you will be as nothing at all. For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, do not fear; I will help you.”  Isaiah 41:8-13

To quote Lance Lambert, very credible author and speaker in Jerusalem from his book “Battle for Israel,” There rests upon every true child of God a responsibility not only to stand with Israel and the Jewish people but to love them from a pure heart. Love such as this will lead to the kind of prayer that only the Holy Spirit can give, it will lead to importunate and travailing prayer.”

PRAYER POINTS:

1. We enter into praise and thanksgiving for the rain and snow you have shed upon your Land for the provision of water.  We also know you use weather conditions to thwart the attacks of the enemy, especially from chemical weapons! Praise Adonai!

2. We call for the Esthers to take a stand against the planned annhilation of your people. Reveal the plans of the enemy to the IDF and the leadership of Israel for such a time as this!  Esther 4:14

3. We ask for Your purposes to be accomplished in US-IDF Austere Challenge 12, the biggest joint US-Israeli war game ever held. We pray for the excercise’s commander, US Third Air Force Lt. Gen. Frank Gorenc that this is more of a “deployment” than an “excercise!”

Debka file’s military sources say they will also practice intercepting missiles and rockets coming into Israel from Syria, Hizbullah in Lebanon, and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.  Pray for Israel and the U.S. to have the mind of the Lord against incoming missiles and rockets.

4. Help Israel and the U.S. to maintain constant vigil – eyes to see and ears to hear - at top war readiness to thwart any surprise attacks from their enemies.

Pray for the State of Israel to unite culturally, religiously, and politically as there is  great divison in the Land. We know that Yeshua (Jesus) warned about a house divided – it cannot stand!

“As for me, I will call upon God, And the Lord shall save me. Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, And He shall hear my voice…” Psalm 55:16-17

WATCH AND PRAY! OUR REDEMPTION DRAWS VERY, VERY NIGH!  KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE TIME CLOCK – ISRAEL!

On behalf of Lighthouse Intercessors may the shalom (peace) of God that surpasses understanding rule and reign in your hearts….

Gloria

Prayers for Healing our Families

MATTHEW 12:15, But when Jesus knew it, He withdrew from there. And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all. 

Jesus revealed and demonstrated that it was the will of the Father to bring healing and wholeness to all men. Beloved, Jesus is still willing! Jesus declared that those who followed Him would do the things He did and more. (JOHN 14:12) He instructed us to go and proclaim the kingdom of God and to demonstrate not only the power of the kingdom of God, but the heart of love and mercy of the King by ministering healing to all who would receive it. Beloved, the Holy Spirit is calling us to break out of the shackles of unbelief and religious thinking. He is calling us to contend for the truth that wherever the King and His Kingdom are, healing is available for all. God is good and He desires that all people be made whole. The expectation that God can and will heal those who are sick must be a part of our message. We must see sickness and disease as enemies and that we have been commissioned and anointed to wage war against them, because sickness or disease is not a match for the love and power of God. We must step out in faith believing for the miraculous. The Holy Spirit is calling us to dare to believe that the lame will walk, the blind will see, and the deaf will hear as we declare the kingdom of God. We are called to a place of faith that declares God is not only able He is willing! Jesus is the same today as He has always been. (HEBREWS 13:8) What Jesus did while He was on earth, He will do through His people today. Only Believe! He has not changed!
