Father, we pray for the Christians in India today. Be in their mid-week services. Anoint their leaders and teachers. Give them exactly what the people need to hear right now, right where they are at, what ever they are facing, good or bad. Let their worship be a sweet smell to you Lord and let your favor rest upon their congregations. Let the words of their pastors be your words Lord. Let them speak from your heart: encouragement, love, perseverence, strength, and hope.

Remove every hindrance that would try to keep the lost from you Lord. When doors are open or an appeal is made in a service, let those that are searching for you find you Jesus. Divine protection over every area of ministry, keep your people in the center of your will Father as they minister in your name. Expose every plan of the enemy to bring harm or to hinder, and loose your Holy Spirit to turn everything meant for evil into something good. In the name of Jesus.

Father I pray for the families in India. Watch over them and bind them together in love. I ask that you not only save individuals but that you save entire families, even generations within those families. Mothers and Fathers and children and parents, wives and husbands and brothers and sisters that have been distant in their hearts from one another... who have been made to live a great distance from one another physically... bring them together Lord, open all lines of communication. If it is your will that they live closer then make them able to move. If each needs to live in a different place, then let the distance not seem so far from one another. Comfort them as they miss one another, and bring them together as often as possible.

I pray this for the missionaries that are in India as well. For those that are serving a year or two or more, who have loved ones in their home countries that miss them terribly. Comfort them as well Lord. There will always be concern when we are separated from family, but keep them from worry and from being anxious. Do not let the enemy cause their thoughts to wander so that they are tormented by fears of things that you have not ordained. Bring them peace of mind, and help them to trust you with those most precious to them. Thank you Lord. Cover each of them and their families and keep them in the center of your perfect will.

Thank you Father that your light shines brightly in India today. Thank you that those walking in darkness have seen it and that they are being drawn to it by your Spirit. Send your people to be a voice so that they can hear the good news that Jesus Christ has come to set them free from that darkness. Stir a great hunger and thirst in India by your Spirit, and draw all men to you Lord. Revival has begun. Change. Choices are being made, and miracles performed. You have not forgotten the people of India. You see them, and you are with them to be their help. You are such a wonderful Lord, and mighty God. We ask all these things in the name of your son Father, Jesus.
Amen.

Father I pray for the Christians in India. Pour your joy out upon them today. Let them laugh and dance and sing and hum and smile. Fill their mouths with words of thanks and praise and encouragement and all that will build up the people that they minister to in your name. Anoint their words and let their conversation and greeting and testimony and message bring increase and miracles. Let it be seed, echoing your word Lord, planting and becoming firmly rooted in the hearts of those they encounter.

Guide the steps of your people Lord. As they move from one appointment to the next, tell them when to detour for that miracle along the way. When they labor in one place and may not see the fruit, let them continue on in joy knowing that their is still more to plant and tend and harvest along the way. Help them to remember that your word does not return void. That there is power every time they speak it and live it. Let them know that what cannot be seen, is the substance that moves mountains. Help their unbelief, remove all doubt, let FAITH rise up in them like they have never known. In the name of Jesus.

Once again Lord we ask for provision for this day, for protection from every evil thing that would try to sneak in to kill or to destroy. Reveal every snare of the enemy and let your people walk right over them unharmed. Remove every stumbling block and guide them in the way that they should go when ever it is necessary for them go around it. Wisdom Lord. When to speak, when to remain silent. When to stand and fight, when to yield for a time. When to rebuke, and when to be patient. Every step of the way, guide your people in India Lord. Make them effective witnesses and respected neighbors in their villages and cities.

Thank you Father, that you have not forgotten a single one of us. Thank you that you see every lost soul here and in India, and that you love us all with a Godly love. Thank you that you have made us all family and enabled us to love and care and serve as you do. There is nothing good in the heart of man. We would live selfishly if it were not for your presence and your Spirit that whispers and teaches us compassion and mercy and love. Thank you Lord for teaching us a better way. For forgiving our sins and our ugliness, and for bringing change to our hearts and our lives.

We ask for this same change to manifest among the lost in India. Let them know your Love. Let them also be a reflection of Christ. Help them to change, to turn from all evil, and to live a better life in Christ Jesus. Full of Blessing and the Love of God. Amen.

There is also an urgent need for prayer for Christians in Iran!!!! Christians are only .02% in Iran, everyone else is Muslim. They are persecuted in so many ways there. Please pray for them too if you can.

Dear Lord,
Please protect the Christians in India and Iran. You know their needs better than we do. Lord, please offer somehow a way that Your word and gift of eternal life can be spread throughout these countries Lord. Keep Satan away from them and leave them protected and comforted. Let us know how to help Lord. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

yes Lord, we agree for the safety and provision for the Christians in Iran and around the world. Keep them in the center of your perfect will. Open doors for the Gospel to be preached. Pour out courage and strength seasoned with wisdom and a humble heart. In the name of Jesus.

Father we ask you to look upon the Christians in India today. There is still hunger and poverty and great need in that region, and I ask that you bless them in this hour, new and afresh. Let your people in that region know that you are walking with them today, closer than ever. Let them feel your presence in big ways and small ways, and let it empower them and encourage them to not grow weary in ministry. Meet every physical need. Food for the day/week/month/year, as well as clean water and shelter and the preaching of the Word to nourish them spiritually. In the name of Jesus.

Father watch over the health of your people today. Keep them from all disease and sickness. If they are exposed to anything, which is pretty definite in that region, let every harmful virus/bacteria/germ die in their presence. Let no infection or bug touch their bodies, keep them healthy and well and strong... by the stripes suffered by our Savior we declare this. We ask for healing of every disease and sickness that is oppressing or attacking the people of God or those under their charge. In the name of Jesus, every sickness release them and go. Bodies be well and whole, restored and refreshed. Thank you Lord.

I speak against the AIDS virus, against every virus common to that region. I speak against all parasitic sickness to die and leave their bodies and their homes and villages. I speak against every inherited disease that causes headaches and all crippling diseases that cause malformations on their bodies or that impair their movement or speech. I speak against every cancer cell in the name of Jesus, to be silent and to become healthy tissue and just as God intended. I speak against every sexual disease that is causing torment and discomfort and death, to be gone completely... for bodies to be cleansed and for sins to be forgiven in the name of Jesus. We agree together Lord that your Spirit and your healing power be released, we declare all these things in the name of Jesus who shed the BLOOD OF GOD to purchase that authority for us. We speak healing and health and wholeness to the people of India, and we give our God great praise that it is manifested in his name.

Let rejoicing break out in India, Release a gift of Faith that will spawn miracles. Let the people praise you Lord for you are Good and you have given Good things to us this day as always. You are worthy of praise. We thank you that you have not forgotten a single one of us, that you have paid such a price to set us free from sin and sickness and death, that you make every day to SHINE whether we walk in sunlight or shadow -- because of the beauty and glory of your presence. You are with us Lord. Nothing can stand against us. Nothing can separate us from your love. Let the people of India understand that Truth. Anoint your people in that region with the words and the opportunity to testify in ways that will deeply affect the people of India for your glory. In the name of Jesus. Amen.



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (2/2/2008 12:43:47 PM)

Father, I pray for your people in India today. They are not cattle to you Lord. You do not herd them along with little thought. They are your children. Help them to understand that while we may seem like strangers so far removed from them and praying blindly, that it is your Spirit that has moved us to pray. For one reason, because you love them. Our prayers are by faith, and because the Spirit of God has asked us to intercede for those that he loves. So we pray for the people of India, because our God loves them, and so we love them without ever having seen or met them. We are connected by the same Father and Creator, and so we are family, we are one in Christ.

Raise up voices in India and around the world to intercede for that nation Lord. People that feel the moving of your heart to speak against the evil that has caused hunger and thirst and spiritual starvation. We are voices declaring what the Bridegroom has sent us to declare. The words of your people spoken in that region thru all they say and do are your Word Lord. Hearts and Lives are prepared to receive Jesus Christ as Savior.

Father we invite your Spirit to come. Let the Holy Spirit draw the lost to hunger for you, to guide your people in how to share the Word so that they can receive the Bread of Heaven. And then, be that Bread Lord. You are the Bread of Heaven. We are your people, your Spirit comes along side of us to help us to intercede and to be that voice of invitation, but it is you Lord that satisfies the hunger and thirst of their hearts. Your people are praying and laboring, the lost cry out for Light and Truth. Come Lord Jesus and reveal yourself to the people of India, one by one, and as a nation.

Anoint your people Lord. All who stand on the soil of India, and all who pray and intercede for that nation. Give them your giftings, good gifts, to be blessed and to be a blessing, to bring you glory Lord, to please you in every way, in their hearts and with their lives. Multiply the Blessing throughout their families and to every life they touch and every person they encounter. Divine appointments so that all will be blessed and built up. All this is only by your love and your mercy and your power, Lord. And we thank you and praise you.

Comfort Lord to the hurting. Help them to not see Joy as something over there, something they are separated from, something that seems so removed from their situation. Lord, I don't know how your Spirit is able to reach into the heart of people consumed and crippled by despair and suffering. But Lord I have seen it and experienced it. It cannot be explained, who can explain the miraculous? We agree for miracles Lord. Miracles for healing from sickness and disease and disability... and healing of the heart.

Remember the broken hearted in a special way today Lord. You came for them, they were a huge part of why you were moved with such compassion and why you were willing to leave the throne of heaven to suffer for their healing. Heal the broken hearted in India Lord. In the name of Jesus. Some are shattered and have been for such a long time, it would seem hopeless that their hearts could be made whole again. But you are our Hope, our Blessed Hope, Jesus. Let them know the medicine of your Joy. Restore their Hope. Thank you Father. In the name of your son we ask, in the name of Jesus, our Healer, our Friend. Amen.



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (2/3/2008 3:56:04 PM)

Father, we pray for your people in India today. Please watch over them and meet every need that is pressing, as well as every need that comes daily. Father provide food and fresh water today. Give them opportunity to have their strength renewed physically, whether they need rest or whether they need a break to take a walk or get some exercise. You see each of them and you know their needs. Father, we ask that you bless them today with great favor and that you meet those needs effectively and abundantly. In the name of Jesus. Amen

Lord I ask that you guide and teach and mature each believer in India according to their need. If they are young in their walk and they are needing milk, then let it be sweet and nutritious and plenty. So that they can grow strong in their foundation, so that they will be sure of their Faith in you and they will understand how easy it is to receive from you when we merely ask in the name of Jesus. Teach them to serve with the humility of Christ, and to trust you with the completeness of a child. In the name of Jesus.

Father for those that have walked with you for some time, I pray that you would refresh their relationship with you. Breathe youth and vigor and the lightness of the load that they knew early in their walk. Let the scars and the weariness of life be lifted from them and bring healing and refreshing. Restore the youth of their walk. Keep them seasoned with the maturity they have learned, but bring a joy back to them that they may have lost or neglected. Smile on them Lord. Let your favor warm them and your presence fill them with laughter. Cause them to giggle as they are reminded of your goodness and your playfulness. In the name of Jesus.

Protect your people Lord. Whatever darkness or evil is trying to intimidate them or cause them to fear, I pray that you would remove it's teeth. I pray that you would cause every curse that the darkness shouts to become a blessing. I pray that every word spoken against your people would cause the speaker of it to be filled with fear of You so that they flee from all that you have called your people to occupy and have dominion over. The world belongs to you Lord. And you give it to whom ever you will. Thank you that you have entrusted that region to your people in India. Empower them as representatives of you. Let the enemy tremble at the mention of your name, and let the lost and the people of India rejoice at the name of Jesus.

You are great and glorious Lord. Bless the people of India. Pour favor with God and Man upon your people there, your laborers, your faithful servants, your children. Blessing. Great Blessing. In the name of Jesus. Amen.



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (2/4/2008 12:53:06 PM)

Father, we pray for the Christians in India. We pray that you would open doors for the Gospel. We pray that the lost would hear that you love them, that they would hear it first with their ears and then with their hearts so that they know it is true. Send your holy Spirit to draw them to your people so that they can learn about the cross and the many blessings that you have purchased for them.

Father, silence every lie of the enemy. Silence every lie that is being spoken against your people and reveal your Truth. Silence every lie that has kept the lost in bondage and deception. Let your light illuminate Truth in that dark place. Everything that has tried to keep the Gospel and the love of Christ hidden cannot remain. Lord we ask that you reveal your Truth and that you let the Light of your people shine in that region. Your love will not be silenced. Your Truth will not be discarded. And your Word will not return void. In the name of Jesus. We give you praise!

Food to eat for this day. Bread, vegetables/fruit, meat, all that is needed to nourish the people in India. And let them know that every need is met because Jesus Christ loves them and is fighting for them. Let them come to understand the power of our God, his wisdom and his mercy. Clean water to drink, clean water to refresh their spirits. You give Life Lord. Your Spirit is like a gentle rain. Pour it out upon the people of India. Revival Lord.

Heal the sick we pray. The crippled and the invalid need you Lord. They exist in such misery with no one to care or provide for them. Father, let them know that you have not forgotten them. Healing to their bodies Lord. Healing to their broken hearts we ask in the name of Jesus. You are moved with compassion, yet you respect the freedoms afforded us, you work on our behalf, yet you wait to be invited. Father we invite you to come. Let your perfect will be done in India, in every life. Use your people on the ground there to be your hands and feet and voice. Put provision in their hands and power in their words, and increase their faith to believe you for the miraculous. Our bothers and sisters, your children, India cries out to you Lord. Please help them. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Thank you for your sensitivity to the Holy Spirit and your prayers! I did not read the whole thread so did not know if anyone has posted this link for you or not. This is the most incredible ministry that will keep you informed. Thank you for reminding me to pray! I have been neglegent lately...

selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (2/5/2008 3:39:45 PM)

Thanks so much for this link. I had not heard of it before that I remember. It is definitely insightful as to legislation in India and prayer needs. Great site!

Father, we agree today for the people of India. Lord provide every need. Multiply the food to the hungry. If they are gleaning from the garbage dumps make a way where they will no longer need to scavenge for food. Father let clean and packaged and preserved food be found in abundance everywhere they look. So much so that they are able to share lavishly with their neighbors and others in ministry and kindness. Do not let a single soul in India be hungry today Lord. I know that seems impossible in our small and limited minds, but Father by Faith and in the name of your son, we ask that you feed the hungry today... every single soul. In the name of Jesus.

Let the miracle of it spear head a testimony by word of mouth, from neighbor to neighbor, so that the entire region wonders at your name Lord. This is not too difficult for you. There is nothing too hard for our God. Add to this abundance of food, plenty of clean water as well. And even let much of it come willingly from the hands of those who have persecuted your people -- but let it be done in the name of Jesus Christ. By Faith Lord, feed the hungry we ask, every soul, every need, physical and spiritual. Let those who walk in darkness see a GREAT LIGHT today. This is the day of Salvation. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Thank you Father, Son and Holy Spirit. You are God <3

There is no other like you. Your wisdom confounds the minds of men. Your mercy overwhelms their heart. Your love is beyond expression and cannot be fully comprehended... and yet, you love us. Every one. Every soul on this earth, every soul in India. Come Lord Jesus and perform your will. We ask you to manifest your presence in every area of our lives. Let our prayers touch your heart, let the cries of the hungry and the hurting and the persecuted move you with compassion so that you shake the heavens and the earth on their behalf. You are not an idol of stone, you are not a myth blown around in the conversations of men... you are lover and friend and LORD. We believe. We know who you are. Reveal yourself to India thru your presence and your people that represent your heart and your authority. We labor together, we pray together, we believe by faith together.

Give us miracles in India Lord.
Give us souls.
Give us souls!
In the name of Jesus.
Amen.



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (2/6/2008 11:27:03 AM)

Father, thank you for your provision. We ask that you provide healthy food and clean water to the people of India today. We ask that you send spiritual food to those that are hungry for hope and for change. In the name of Jesus.

We agree together concerning the legislation that threatens to limit the spreading of the Gospel in that region, and that oppresses the poor that have been labeled as untouchable. Let decisions be made in the courts that will favor the impoverished and persecuted in that nation, that will bring them a better life, that will free them to know that Christ has intervened on their behalf because they matter to him, they are precious to God.

Father, move upon their hearts and let them know that they matter, that they are loved by Jesus Christ, the one true God. Break the molds that they have been forced into that have caused them to be satisfied with slavery and less than human conditions. Open their eyes to the truth, to your Truth Lord, that you created them beautiful and with great purpose and immeasurable value and worth. Give them a revelation that someone cares for them, that God cares for them, not as an overseer or tyrant... but as a friend and a Father and a Personal Savior.

I pray for safety and protection for your people in India Lord. Quiet every voice that attempts to harm them or wound their heart. Silence every lie and unravel every attempt to discourage them or to keep them in bondage and oppression. Let the Gospel be preached freely in that region, your Word is Truth and your Spirit is Truth, and your Truth sets us free Lord. Jesus sets us free from the law of sin and death. We become new creatures with a fresh start, a new perspective, an understanding that refreshes and nourishes our spirit and our soul. You give Life Jesus, and we praise your holy name <3

Let your perfect will be done in India today. Encourage your people Lord. Keep them in the center of your will and in the immediate presence of their Daddy. You keep your promises to your children Lord. Thank you for being so faithful, for being so present, for loving us so much, for being you. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

You are welcome. They are the most awesome ministry I have ever encountered, anywhere. K.P. Yohannan,the founder and leader is a spiritual giant!

God bless you for your prayers. They do need it and Christians are in danger there....

Bless you sister!



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (2/7/2008 9:35:55 AM)

Father, thank you for all that you are doing in India. There is so much that we see and hear about, but there is so much that has not even been reported yet or manifested itself. Great Blessing has been poured out in your name Lord and we praise you for provision and constant care!

Once again, provide the essentials of life for another day. Let the hungry find food without having to be degraded and enslaved. Give them plenty of clean water for themselves and other people in their life. Open doors for the Gospel to be preached, for learning to take place, and for spiritual growth by your Grace Lord Jesus.

Bless families today Lord. Help mothers and fathers in their relationships, let their marriage be sacred and precious to them. Help them to find ways to bless one another and to be more affectionate toward one another. Allow them to minster to one another in ways that are personal that is like balm to their deepest hurts. Give them words to speak to one another to encourage and to heal any hurts in their relationships. Help them to communicate and to understand one another, submitting to one another in ways that please you Lord. Make a way for them to provide for each others needs. If they have children, bring them into agreement in how to minister to their children. Guide them with wisdom in how to be on the same page and the same team in knowing what is best for their family. I pray for husbands and wives in India Lord. They need you so much at such a challenging time in their region.

Bless brothers and sisters today Lord. Young and old. Help them to minister to one another as family. Help them to speak words of encouragement and hope and wisdom to one another. Help them to confront conflict and difficult circumstances with your heart and your integrity Lord. Bring peace to their lives in every way, especially in matters of the heart. Help them to serve their families and their villages with cheerful hearts and productive lives. Let them be a blessing, and return the blessing back to them a hundred times over. Even when things seem bleak, help them to love their family, every single person, and to have the heart to continue loving them as you love them Lord. Help them to forgive and see that you have a present hope and a blessed future for them. Let them know that their faithfulness will be rewarded by God and appreciated by people. Even tho it is not always expressed in their hearing.

Father I pray for the people of India who have lost a loved one or who cannot be with their family. They may find themselves scattered and separated from one another. Comfort their heart Lord. Send someone to love them and to be like family to them Send your laborers into their lives Lord, not solely motivated by performing a duty, but motivated by love, deep love, the kind of love that is unmistakably about family and unmistakably about our common bond -- the love of Christ. Father nothing can replace the loss of someone we love, but you can give us strength to continue on in life, you can ease the pain and lighten the burden of living without them. We agree together that you would minister to our loved ones in India, your precious children, our family, who are feeling alone or abandoned or robbed of a loved one. Comfort them and give them what they need to keep moving forward, to live above the pain. Be all things to them, let them lean on you, because you will never fail them Lord. In the name of Jesus.

Father bind families together in love. In your love Lord. Help them to forgive one another, to hope for one another, to discipline with love, and to be a strength physically and spiritually. Save individuals Lord, and save entire families and villages I pray. In the name of Jesus. We agree together, bless the families of India with health and strength in every way for the glory of God. Amen.



CherishedbyGod -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (2/7/2008 12:37:05 PM)

Abba, Father,

We ask that you protect your missionaries that are bringing the gospel throughout India. We thank you for the many churches that have been planted! Please watch over your missionaries! Give them courage and strength. Help them be fruitful! Give them souls! Please give them the tools they need to help in spreading the gospel throughout the land. Help them be self-supporting so that the monies given can be used to raise up more missionaries.

Please protect your children as they worship in church. Keep the evil forces away from the churches and plant angels at the doors for protection.

Encourage them, dear Father! Strengthen them! Comfort them, dear Lord. Let them be strong for our Jesus and may You continue to bring many souls to Yourself through them.

Father, I also life up our brothers and sisters in Iran. Oh, dear Lord! I cannot imagine living in such oppresion! Give them courage. Help them find their refuge in You when they fear. Please protect them, dear Lord! Give them everything, please that they need, for you are a kind God. For those who want to leave the country, I pray that you provide a safe way of escape...

In our Jesus' Name we pray,
Amen



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (2/8/2008 11:46:07 AM)

Thank you Father for calling your people to intercede for India. Thank you for calling people to go there and minister first hand in country to our brothers and sisters there. Thank you Lord for those that have been led by your Spirit to give financially to support the ministry there. Bless your people, protect them from all evil, and provide the resources for the Gospel to go forth in practical ways as well as spiritually. Open doors Father and equip the saints in every way. In the name of Jesus.

Feed the hungry today Lord. Provide plenty of clean water to meet their physical needs. Encourage the hearts of the poor and oppressed to know how much they are loved and fill them with Joy Lord. Anoint your laborers there in India to speak with their words and their actions and their resources as they share the love of Christ with the people of India. Let your will be done in every life in real ways Lord. Thank you for your faithful servants. Thank you for those that have sacrificed so much to demonstrate love and commitment to the people of that region for your glory.

Bless your people today that are serving in India, bless their families and their church families. Pour your gifts into them and refresh them in their bodies and in their walk. Give them that second wind if they are growing weary, pour your strength into them to persevere, affirm them and let them know that God sees and knows what no one else does. Everything they do matters, big and small. Every breath, every word, every act of kindness blesses many and bears so much more fruit than may be apparent at the moment. Assure their hearts that their labor is not in vain. Warm their hearts and bless them with a good day, a wonderful week. In the name of Jesus.

Thank you Father. Amen



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (2/9/2008 11:23:11 AM)

Father bless the people of India today. As the hungry search for food, lead them to it. As the thirsty search for clean water, pour it out for them and refresh them physically. As the hurting cry out for comfort and help, fill their hearts with your love and send your people to be your embrace. As the hopeless cry out for a savior, reveal yourself to them and let them know that you have plans to bless and prosper them. Provide for every spiritual need, every physical need. In the name of Jesus.

Lord thank you for all that you are doing. Thank you for protecting your people in so many ways. Thank you that this man that was victimizing the poor of India and stealing kidneys was caught and stopped. I pray for the poor of India that were abducted and violated and victimized. Heal their bodies Lord. Comfort their hearts. Restore to them all that the enemy has stolen and give them beyond their expectations. We ask that you continue to bless them in such ways. Protection Lord. Divine protection in every way, big and small. The Lord rebuke every hand that reaches out to bring harm to your people in India, to the innocent, to the poor. In the name of Jesus.

Encourage the hearts of the people of India, move throughout that entire nation Lord. Bring an unexplained joy to the hearts of believers, something that shines from them and pales the darkness all around them. Let your people be your Light that shines and draws all me to you Jesus by your Spirit. Illuminate the cross, communicate the Gospel in ways that will bring understanding and hope to the lost and untouchable. Let them know that God desires to not only touch and intervene in their lives, but he wants to embrace them and be near them and to shower his affection on them.

Thank you Father. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Holy Spirit. Hear our prayers as we agree for India. come to us and perform the perfect will of God in our lives. You are Good God, and we are so blessed that you would come to us and that you would pour your Goodness into our hearts and our lives. There is nothing we could ever do to deserve it, it is a gift from the God of Love. Help the people of India to understand this Truth, help them just as you helped us to receive such overwhelming and humbling grace. In the name of Jesus. Amen.



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (2/10/2008 3:05:55 PM)

Father we thank you for all that you are doing for the people of India. We ask once again for miraculous provision of healthy food and clean water. Continue to hold open the doors for the Gospel to enter that entire region. Move upon the hearts of the lawmakers there and let legislation pass/fail according to your perfect will for your people in India. In the name of Jesus.

Father I ask that you protect the people from any confusion or false teaching. Protect them from an unholy mixture that tries to diminish or taint the message of the Gospel. Cause them to understand the hearing of your Word and to apply it to their lives in real and practical ways. Help them to see traditions that cause misery and suffering for themselves and for others for what they are -- not of God. Help them to find the strength and determination and passion to turn away from pagan rituals and idols and to serve Christ with their whole heart. Holiness. Clean Hands. Right Spirits. In the name of Jesus.

Watch over your missionaries, both long term and short term. Impart to them wisdom and knowledge to minster to the people of India with love and kindness and great affection. Build friendships and relationships that are bound together by your love. Pour out a spirit of faithfulness and trust by the power of your Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for hearing our prayers. Thank you that before we even asked you were answering and working on behalf of the people of India. They are your children and you love them. They are our family in Christ and we love them. Bless their children and their families and all who are in need in that region. Guide their steps and speak to their hearts so that they can know you Jesus as Friend and Savior. Amen.

Father, the poor and suffering of India cry out to you. Please send relief, clean water, good food, spiritual food. Open doors for the Gospel that have remained shut for so long. Gently and quietly but with power and great anointing. Let your light shine in India so that those lost in darkness will see Christ. Let them see Jesus at every turn, in your people that labor in that country, in the family of God that walks beside our brothers and sisters there. Hear the cry of the hurting Lord, Intervene on their behalf so that all the world may know that you love them with a great love. In the name of Jesus.

Father I pray for good weather in that region. I pray that if storms, actual storms and such, must come, that your hand will guide and protect your people there. Watch over the poor and keep them in the center of your perfect will. If there are bugs or animals that are a health issue or that torment their lives, then deliver them from it. Lice, deadly snake or spider bites, whatever creatures are in that region that might be making their life difficult and stressful. Bring relief Lord according to your perfect will. If there are animals that need to be increased in number for food or for the poor to earn a wage, then increase them Lord. Make them plentiful according to your wisdom.

Let their business and income prosper. Provide work and opportunities to provide for the needs of their families. Make a way for their children to go to school, and for the entire family to attend church together to learn of you. The fundamentals of life that they have done without for so long... pour it out for them, bless them with a way to make ends meet. And then put it in their hearts to share the blessing with those that you have placed in their lives.

Bring peace to every personal conflict and relationship. Help them to forgive. Help them to discipline in love. Help them to correct with kindness according to the standards in your Word. Those that were once their enemies, bring an understanding between them, let Your Kindness Lord lead all people to repentance. And bind them together in your love so that they will be a force in that region for good. Give them revival. Give them a testimony of your presence in their lives and in our world. We thank you Father for the many good gifts that you give so freely to us every day. We thank you that you have heard our prayers and you respond in real and practical ways seasoned with the wisdom of God. We love you Lord. We ask these things in the name of Jesus. Amen.



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (2/12/2008 8:37:05 AM)

Father, we ask that you feed the hungry in India today. We ask that you provide clean water for another day, another week, another month. In the name of Jesus.

Open doors for the Gospel to be preached on every level in a million different ways. In the marketplaces, in the alleys and brothels where young girls are imprisoned, in the prisons, in the homes, in the churches, in the schools, on street corners, on remote roads in remote villages. Let the land of India blaze with your Truth and Your Light Lord, let the minds and hearts of the people be given much to think about concerning you and your love for them. Warm them, refresh them. Encourage them that they have value, all of them, no matter their past, no matter their birth, no matter the labels put upon them by family or society. Fill them with joy that they are children of God and lighten their step as they journey thru life. In the name of Jesus.

Father I ask that you bless the people of India with all that they need this day, and even beyond that. I ask that you pour special treats upon them that they have not known for a very long time or that they have only dreamed of. Bless them, each and every one of them, with something personal that takes them by surprise and overwhelms them with the sense that you have not forgotten them -- but even more, that you desire to bless them beyond just provision, you desire to bless them abundantly, with abundant life, and all that is good. I praise you Lord for blessing the precious people of India in such a way. Every need met and beyond. I am not afraid to ask for the miraculous for them, because I know that nothing is impossible for you Lord. According to your wisdom and your love we make our requests known.

Father I pray that you would reunite loved ones that may be separated from one another. Move the courts, provide money and transportation, reveal their locations if someone is searching... whatever it takes Father, I trust you to provide a way for them to find each other and be with each other. In the name of Jesus. I ask these things. And I give you praise and thanks Lord. We are all a blessed people. We are all welcomed at your table and among your people. Thank you for loving us. Amen.



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (2/13/2008 12:05:26 PM)

Father, we cry out for souls in India. Move upon the hearts of men women and children and draw them by your Holy Spirit according to your Word. In the name of Jesus. Give us souls Lord! For Your Glory! Comfort the broken hearted, heal the sick, free all who are held in bondage by addiction or by oppression. We cannot overcome the enemy in our own strength, but you can Lord. We cannot war against the powers of this world, but you can make us able. We can do all things thru Christ who strengthens us. Use us Lord, make us fit vessels to serve your purpose, move thru us by the power of your Spirit to touch every soul in India with the Gospel. Make a way Lord, we need you, the people of India need you. The lost and hurting and broken cry out for you. Come Lord Jesus. You are our God and our Savior and Friend.

Feed the hungry, give them clean water to drink and wells for their villages. I don't even know how that is possible or how the funds will be managed or who will be the hands that will make themselves available... but you do Lord. Send the resources, put the burden in the hearts of your people, move upon even those who do not know you and cause them to give according to the will of God. Sway the hearts of leaders and those who control the legislation and cause them to favor your people and the causes that your people need to minister more effectively to the people of India. Beyond their understanding or their ability to explain, cause them to give and to fight for good and Godly legislation that would relieve the horrid living conditions of so many. In the name of Jesus.

Help the people of India to resist temptation. Let your people wear your armor according to Ephesians 6. Make them fervent and encourage them to not grow weary. Protect them from the Lust of the Flesh (sexual desires and all physical appetites to please their selfish desires). Protect them from the Lust of the Eyes (power and selfish ambition that causes them to use/abuse the people around them to feel important). Protect them from the Pride of Life (doubting your presence and involvement in their lives, thinking themselves as gods or equal to you, as though all that is accomplished is by their hand and the hand of men). Let them have no other gods before you Lord. Make it their passion to LOVE GOD and to LOVE PEOPLE according to your commands and your zeal. In the name of Jesus.

Father, we thank you that you are always listening. We thank you that you have dispatched angels to accomplish all before and after our requests are made. We know that there is no "IF" you will answer, you always answer, every prayer, you are faithful. You are worthy of all praise in heaven and on the earth. We praise you Lord. Amen.



idavis58 -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (2/13/2008 12:32:21 PM)

I recieve a news letter called The Voice of the Martyrs [thevoice@persecution.com] It gives you alot of inforation about
all the people in different countries that are being prosecuted because
they are Christians and are spreading the Word of God. they will also sent you a map of all the countries, it is call a prayer map.
I pray for them every morning. As a matter of fact I plan on going on a mission real soon, either to Africa or South America.
It is so sad to read about all these people that are being martyred or thrown in jail or beaten everytime they turn around because they are Christians and spreading God's Word. They have so much faith, and they don't give up, they are so faithful to God..



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (2/14/2008 2:15:08 PM)

Thank you so much. I have been wanting to get a good map of the region so I can pray for each of the cities and villages. I have heard of this ministry, and I think it may be the one related to DC Talk's book JESUS FREAKS, a book committed to telling the story of martyrs and the power of God in their lives/testimonies. Blessing to you and to your family <3

Father, we agree together today for the people of India. We ask that you supply food and water and shelter. We ask that you provide for every physical need. Let not a single child or adult be in want of basic necessities of life. Let the resources and provisions find their way into their hands and let them know that it was your love that orchestrated it. In the name of Jesus. Let your kindness lead the lost to repentance and let your love be strength to those who are crying out in their pain. Shine your great Light into their darkness and set them free from every snare and bondage of the enemy.

Father I pray for the women and girls, as well as the men and boys, who are being held as sex slaves in these regions. Rescue them Lord. Let them sense your presence and heal them of every heartache and every scar of abuse. My heart breaks for them Lord. Free them and lead them to a better life, to the blessings and peace that you have planned for them. Return to them all that the enemy has stolen a hundred times over. You poured such blessing out for Job, pour it out for the victims of India. You love them just as much, you have no favorites Lord. Multiply their reward for their faithfulness in the face of such suffering and misery. In the name of Jesus.

Father free those who abuse and victimize the innocent of India. Break the power and strongholds of addiction that have gripped them and caused them to do such evil to their own people, to innocent children. Expose the lies of the enemy. Heal the hurts that have caused such anger and insecurity in them. Free them from a spirit of selfishness and violence. Put in them a new heart, a clean heart, a heart that is humbled and that loves God and loves People. Free them and wash them and use them to undo the evil that once consumed their lives. Let them be a voice and a protection in your name to minister to the people they once victimized and sinned against. Help them to change Lord. In the name of Jesus.

Lord I thank you that you are in India as well as America and around the entire world. I thank you that you are working so many things all at the same time to bring good things to your people and to lead the lost to your love. You are great and glorious, and we praise you Jesus. Hear our cry for India today. Intervene and protect the helpless. In the name of Jesus. Amen.



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (2/15/2008 12:35:47 PM)

Father we pray for the lost in India today. We pray for your people that are your hands and feet and voice leading them to Light and Love and Home. We ask provision for all needs physical and spiritual. Whatever darkness tries to hold them captive, we agree together that in the name of Jesus it must let them go. We speak to the powers of hell that are trespassing in things that belong to God, let all who are hungry come to Christ! Let all who walk in his authority be obeyed! Whatever they command in earth, let it be so in the heavens. Let the hungry be fed. The thirsty receive water. Let the sick and diseased be healed. Let the addict and all who are held prisoner to addiction be set free! In the name of Jesus. It is not by our strength, but by the name and authority of the Almighty God, Jesus. Amen.

Father help your people to walk in their areas of authority. Teach them what they must not do. Teach them what they have the power to do. Remove the blinders and the ignorance (simply not knowing) the extent of the power that you have given us to accomplish the will of God in the earth. We are your ambassadors. Let your people in India understand who they are. Impart to them a wisdom and a courage and self-control to walk with boldness seasoned with kindness. In the name of Jesus.

Thank you Lord that you do not leave us as helpless sheep. Thank you that you have come to save us, and then to train and equip us to be fearless shepherds and spiritual warriors. Train an army in India Lord and let their skill of love and prayer be felt around the world. Not thru violence rooted in arrogance or selfish ambition, but violence against spiritual forces that try to hinder the love of God and the love of People. Our battle is not against flesh and blood, it is against darkness and suffering and all that brings misery to people. Our battle is to share the love of Christ in all the world, not by force but by simply telling the story of what he has done for all of us and how he gave his life to free us from a debt that we could not pay. In the name of Jesus. Amen.



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (2/16/2008 3:04:20 PM)

Father I pray that conviction would be poured out upon your people in India today. Those that serve you in that place, I pray that they would examine their own hearts and clean their house Lord. Cause them to discern anything that they may have fallen into the rut of religion concerning. Cause them to recognize what has become a philosophy/method of ministry based on the visions of men rather than the plan of God. Cause them to return to their first love --YOU JESUS -- to be refreshed and renewed daily in their hearts and in their minds.

They are beautiful in their love for you Lord. Encourage their hearts. Reward their labor and their devotion. But cause them to check themselves with personal accountability to protect themselves from anything the enemy may be trying to snare them with. Sure up their defenses in their personal walk. Strengthen them in their areas of weakness... we all have them. Only by your grace, Lord, are we able to keep ourselves from sin. Thank you for being our rear guard and our King. In the name of Jesus.

Father, again today, the hungry still cry out and many in India are without clean water. Provide it, Father, we ask in the name of Jesus. Their suffering is real and urgent and intense -- please help them. Send your people, pierce our hearts with compassion and move our lives with action. In the name of Jesus.

Guard your congregations in India Lord. Every ministry that is there obeying your word and sacrificing themselves daily because of their love for You and for the people of India. Protection and Provision, in the name of Jesus. Joy and Refreshing in the face of demanding labor and consistent oppression. Favor and Encouragement in the face of prejudice and labels of being untouchable. Salvation and Peace with God in the face of much darkness and the doctrine of devils. In the name of Jesus. We claim it and declare it. For the Glory of God and by his Grace. Thank you Lord that you love us so.

India cries out Lord.
You hear them and you have come down from heaven to be their help and their hope.
We praise you for all that you are doing.
We praise you because you are worthy above all.
We ask these things in the name of Jesus as you have commanded us Father.
We thank you that you have heard and have answered and are answering.
Amen <3



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (2/17/2008 3:57:33 PM)

Father, thank you for all that you are doing in India. Thank you that you are very real and present in the lives of your people there. Walk with them today. Encourage their hearts. Be their protection and their guide. Send your laborers to feed the hungry, to give water to the thirsty, to clothe the naked, and to share the Good News that Jesus Christ has come to set them free from sin and death and bondage. Let them know Hope. Let them know Peace. Let them know Love. Remember the people of India today Lord, we agree together that you would pour your favor and your blessing out upon every area of their lives. In the name of Jesus.

Help them to hear your word Jesus, and enable them to understand it. Help them to see clearly all that you are calling them to do and all that you are calling them to turn away from. Give them discernment and wisdom, so that they would know what is sin and what pleases God. Give them the strength and the courage to resist the temptations of the enemy and to choose what is Good. Protect them from confusion and compromise, but teach them how to be like Christ in a cursed world.

Prepare the next generation to carry on the great commission that you have called your church to perform. Open doors of opportunity to the children and the young adults to bring change to their nation. Protect their hearts from evil and bitterness and unforgiveness in the midst of evil men. Give them the gift of Faith and Mercy and Courage to rise above the darkness that tries daily to gain a stronghold in their hearts. Make them conquerors to stand against every fiery dart of the enemy in the name of Jesus. They are warriors who battle against spiritual darkness on every side -- they WIN in the name of JESUS because you have provided victory. They can overcome any obstacle, any attack, and they can do it with the Joy of the Lord.

Thank you Father for that victory. Thank you Jesus for your blood that purchased it. We give you praise and we are so very thankful. We don't deserve your great love, and yet you pour it out upon us so lavishly. You make all things new, you give us beauty for ashes rather than what we deserve, you make us worthy because you say we are. It's that simple on our part. You have done the hard stuff for us. We love you Lord. Amen.



selahgirl -> RE: Pray for the Christians in India (2/18/2008 12:30:04 PM)

Father, we pray for your people in India today. We ask that you would shine upon them with great favor and encouragement. Whatever burdens they may be carrying Lord, help them to trust you to help. Give them strength and courage to face today with a glad heart and a supernatural strength of body mind and spirit. Renew their strength. In the name of Jesus.

Raise up a family of believers around them to share every joy and every hardship. Increase their numbers -- and continue to do much with little concerning their resources. Let provision flood that region. Put it into the hands of your people to give to those in need in your name Jesus. Food for the hungry, water for those that thirst. Thank you Father.

We pray for the sick in India today. We ask that medicines and healing balms be made available to those who need them. We pray that you would heal miraculously, or thru medicine, or in what ever way you determine is wise and good. Father, there are so many that are sick and in misery. They go day to day in pain and suffering. There is no one to care for them. They cry out for help. They cry out with no hope. Hear their cry we ask. Send your people. Let your presence and your provision come down from heaven and relieve their pain. Heal the sick Lord. Free the people of India from the diseases that hold them in bondage to suffering. You are their Hope. You are their Savior. Let them understand your great love. Let them call upon you Jesus, by name. Let them be healed because of the stripes you endured to purchase their healing, and because it is one of the reasons that you came to this earth. Thank you Lord <3

Again I ask that you would minister to the animals that may be pets or that may be the livelihood of the poor to make a wage. Make their animals well, so that they can be a help and an encouragement to the people that need them.

At the same time, protect your people from any animals or creatures that may be used to bring them harm. Cause the savage to become calm and to wander away in peace. Cause the deadly to not bite or strike out, and let their venom be like water having no effect. In the name of Jesus.

Thank you Lord. Thank you for all that you are doing for the people of India and for your servants there. We are family. We are your children. And we praise you Lord. Amen.
