#apostolicprayer

I’m excited to share the first of many apostolic prayers we will focus on. With intentionality, pray these life-giving, spirit-breathed verses! Over ourselves, our fellow believers, churches, city, nation, and regions throughout the world!

Week 1 Apostolic Prayer

Pray Ephesians 1:17-18 

“I pray that the Father of glory, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, would impart to you the riches of the Spirit of wisdom and the Spirit of revelation to know him through your deepening intimacy with him. I pray that the light of God will illuminate the eyes of your imagination, flooding you with light, until you experience the full revelation of the hope of his calling—that is, the wealth of God’s glorious inheritances that he finds in us, his holy ones!” (TPT)

I encourage y’all to read/pray this passage of scripture out loud, and also in whatever version you typically use.

From verse 17, pray:

For a greater hunger and longing to know Christ! intimacy.

For courage to allow ourselves to be fully known by Him!

That every truth we learn will lead us into deeper knowledge of Christ

That our hearts would remain teachable, our minds open to receive.

For the Holy Spirit Wisdom and Revelation to be expressed in our lives!

From verse 18, pray:

Saturate my imagination (my heart) in your light!

That hope may fill our hearts, convincing us of our destiny in Christ!

That we might walk in the Holiness that we have already been granted access.

To experience full revelation of God’s glorious inheritance for us!

In the powerful, ever-lasting, kind, and faithful name of Jesus, Amen.

As believers, we “know” prayer is powerful. But do we believe it? Head to the heart. Are we praying BOLD prayers in our secret place? With quiet trust resting in the knowledge that God is faithful and will do what He says He will.

Do our actions align with this knowledge of prayer? I know mine haven't, but that is changing.

I have questioned what prayer should look like...corporate and personal. It seemed to me that sometimes we use more words than necessary. And more often than not, our own words versus God’s. This led me to search the scriptures for any verse containing this topic. Seeking insight into how it should look in my own life.

Recently, the Lord brought to my attention the varying types of prayers. One of these being the Apostolic Prayer Model. We pray this model under the Truth that Christ is seated in heavenly places. As His bride, we too are seated with Him and co-heirs. Out of that glorious realm of fullness, we can release something over the people we have a heart for! I long to play my part in bringing the Kingdom of Heaven down to Earth.

Starting this Sunday, I am going to post one Apostolic Prayer from scripture to focus on for the week. Follow along if you’d like to pray + meditate on these powerful prayers.
