A Prayer For The Church - 2 Chronicles 7:12-22

 

A Prayer For The Church!

Based on 2 Chronicles 7:12-22

 

Then The LORD appeared to The Church leaders and said, ‘I have heard your prayer and have chosen the redeemed for Myself. When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among the people, if My people who are called by My Name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their sinful ways, then I will hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made by My people. For now I have chosen and sanctified this people, that My Name may be on them forever; and My eyes and My heart will be for them perpetually.

As for you leaders, if you walk in The Way of your LORD JESUS and do according to all I commanded you and if you keep My Statutes and Judgments, then I will establish The Church as I covenanted with My Son, saying, “You are My Son, today I have begotten You; You are a priest forever according to the Order of Melchizedek.” But if you turn away and forsake My Statutes and My Commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them, then I will uproot you from My Church which I have Sanctified for My Name; I Will cast you out of My sight and make you a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

And as for The Church which exalted itself, everyone who passes by will be astonished and say, “Why has The LORD done this to His People and The Church?” Then they will answer, “Because they forsook The LORD their GOD Who forgave their sin and embraced other gods and worshipped them and served them; therefore He has brought all this calamity on them.”

 

Heavenly Father forgive us, Your people, our sins!

Forgive us that we the people called by Your Name do not know Your Word for ourself!

Forgive us that we have allowed and taught false doctrines as Your Word!

Forgive us that we have lifted up our own names rather than the Name of JESUS our LORD!

Forgive us that we have allowed the spirit of Jezebel to flourish in Your Church!

Forgive us that we have allowed the spirit of Ahab to flourish in Your Church!

Forgive us that we have allowed the sexually immoral to function in Your Church!

Forgive us that we have allowed the morally wicked, liars, cheaters and thieves to lead Your Church!

 

Heavenly Father, by Your SPIRIT and Your Word, prick our hearts as individuals, families, groups, fellowships, congregations, ministries and denominations of our sins!

Show us the lies we have believed!

Show us the Truths that we have rejected!

Let Your Will be done in The Church as it is in Heaven! Amen!
