Gateway Prayer Requests
November 14, 2009
“And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.” (Revelation 5:8).
Your prayers rise up before the King who sits on the Throne. The four living creatures and the twenty-four elders also are before the throne and participate while lifting our prayers up to the King. This is every time you pray. Every time you sing to God you also join into this worship in heaven as well! David knew this:
“But I, O LORD, cry to you; in the morning my prayer comes before you.” (Ps. 88:13).
Our time of great need and Turkey’s time of great need:
“You also must help us by prayer, so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us through the prayers of many.” (2 Cor. 1:11).
We need your help here in Turkey, please pray for us as Paul asked the church in Corinth pray for them.
Prayer needs:
1. Pray that the Lord would cleanse His church here in this country. Pray that the Lord would protect His church here in this country. Many have asked why Turkey is still the largest unreached country in the world. I can state in all honesty it is not merely the hardness of the people and lack of interest. Many are interested and have a desire to learn. However, there is a fundamental problem within churches here as a whole. That problem namely being in the Christian leadership. There are some who work too close to the government, abusing their power and lording it over others, some who are alcoholics, some who beat their wives, some who commit adultery, some who steal and many who are two-faced and not honest and some who are seeking money over the Kingdom of God, there is also much back-biting, gossiping and slandering. Some leaders are teaching that there is not a difference between being a Muslim and a Christian and that Muhammad was a prophet too. These leaders are leading others to do and think the same and have the same attitudes. They are the sick leading the sick.
The question is then if the Lord of the Harvest brings 10,000 into to the Kingdom here (now), where will they go? The answer is they would be sheep without a shepherd and thrown out to the wolves. Our Good Shepherd does know this and is patiently waiting.
I have never shared these realities with you our prayer and financial supporters, because it is generally not the kind of thing one wants to hear, I have kept these in for years, however I cannot bear this burden anymore and need all of you to please plea and beg before the throne, please beg with me and cry with me for this country and these people. I know now that this is the key that is missing to unlock the flood-gates of the Kingdom here. There are few true shepherds! I know that if you do pray the King will listen to your prayers the prayers will come up before His throne and He will respond. Please help.
2. Pray that the Lord would cause those in leadership to repent and or that the Lord would remove them from their positions.
3. Pray that the Lord would raise up faithful servants that are sold out to live and die for the King. Pray that these new servants would give full allegiance to the King and live Holy lives to be examples to their flocks.
4. Pray that the Lord would please send these faithful to us so that we may minister together and reach the West and the East here together in unity.
“praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,” (Eph. 6:18).
I do know that the Lord said in Matthew 13:29-30, that with the wheat, tares do grow and at the end the tares will be sifted and burned. Also In I Timothy 5:24, “Some men's sins are evident, going before unto judgment; and some men also they follow after.” However my cry to the Lord is that we need a swift cleansing. In Luke 18 in the parable of the unjust judge our almighty King gives us a promise concerning this, and that is if we continue to “bother” Him day and night over these issues:
“And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them?” (Luke 18:7).
