Daily Huddle - Fri Mar 1, 2019 How To Pray For Paul's

Love you all, praying for you. 

That God would fulfill every plan He has for you this weekend, that you would confirm each activity through Him.  That you would experience His best for you.
 
God revealed something to me recently.   Do you know a Paul?  Either to you or others?  Someone who is filled with the Spirit of God, and is impacting eternity?   What could you do to help them?   Paul tells us.
 
Romans 15:31 -  Pray that I will be rescued from the unbelievers in Judea and that my service in Jerusalem would be accepted by the saints. 
 
What did Paul ask them to pray for?  Rescue and Fruit.   Rescue -  (from physical harm, seed stealers, and faith stealers) and for his message to bear fruit.
 
#1  Pray for rescue.  That Paul would be rescued from unbelievers (outsiders and insiders). 

Outsider unbelievers – who wanted to kill him; 

Insider unbelievers – those who spoke against his message (seed stealers that the devil tried to use to keep the hearers from walking in what God had for them), and those who speak discouragement (the yeast of unbelief – that it wouldn’t affect him personally). 
 
Insider unbelievers who speak against you and the message God has given you – are the devil’s tools.  Not just to stop others from hearing and believing, but also to try to make you fear and doubt – to try and get even you – to fall in to unbelief yourself. 
 
#2  Pray for Fruit. 
Accepted by the saints’ – not just that they would listen to him, or think he was a good guy…  but that they would fully accept and follow what he said - that they would be good soil, producing a 100 fold harvest.  Paul asked for prayer that what he came to share with them would be fully embraced, obeyed, and put into practice by the saints.  That they would be hearers and obeyers – so they would grow in unity into the complete image of Christ.
 
So when you pray for people in ministry – men and women of anointing:
 
Pray
.1) Protection & Provision. For physical deliverance from harm – God’s protection and provision.

.2) No Birds.   That God would chase away the birds.  That no one would steal the seed planted.

.3) No Discouragement.  That they would not be discouraged or lose faith.  (No unbelief would get even the slightest foothold. 

.4) 100 fold obeyers.  For the message God has given them to be fully received by those to whom they are sent.  For full embracing of the Word in complete obedience.  100-fold harvest.
 
Praying for all of you - that all of these things will be what you receive from God.  That God would stir you to join with others in ministry through fervent and effectual prayer, and that God would stir others would join together in prayer for you. 
 
Love you all,
