Kingdom Women of Midland

August 4, 2011

The Lord took me to the Book of Philippians. I meditated on the message of this book and then began to see that these were the desires for God's Kingdom Women of Midland. I outlined the prayer points and prayed over each Woman, including myself:

1. Father, I pray that Your love would abound more and more in knowledge and all discernment.
2. That Your Kingdom Women would be so filled with the Spirit that they could say with Paul, "for to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain."
3. Lord, cause us to stand fast in one Spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel, even if we are called to suffer for Your sake.
4. I pray that we will do nothing through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself -that we should not just look out for our own interests but should look out for the interest of others.
5. Father, I pray that we will let this mind be in us which was in Christ Jesus.
6. Lord, teach us to work out our own salvation in fear and tremblingknowing that it is You that is at work in us both to will and to do for Your good pleasure.
7. Remind us to do all things without complaining and disputing that we might shine as lights in this crooked and perverse generation.
8. Train us Lord to not seek just our own, but to seek the things that are of Christ Jesus.
9. Teach us to always under all circumstances to rejoice in the Lord and have no confidence in the flesh.
10. O Lord, make the very core of our being a passion to know Christ and the power of His resurrection, joining in the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death.
11. Reveal to us how to let go and forget about those things which are behind but train us to reach forward to those things that are ahead.
12. Keep us 0 Lord from ever allowing our bellies to be our god and to get our minds off earthly things.
13. Remind us to rejoice always and let our gentleness be known to all men.
14. Keep us aware that You have told us to be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving let our requests be made known to God for Your promise is that the peace of God which is beyond our understanding will guard our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
15. Help us to remember that whatever state we are in we can be content in Christ Jesus, whether we be abased or abound.
16. Never let us forget that we can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens us for it is You, Lord, that supplies all our need according to Your riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
17. O Father, please teach us to think on whatever things are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, good report, and if there is any virtue or anything praiseworthy train us to meditate on these things.

I believe this was a very fruitful time of prayer and felt much was accomplished through the praying of this Book. These are prayer points that I will continue to pray for the Word is so powerful.
