Jesus,
Lord of the Harvest, we ask that you raise up workers in the
fields for they are already white for the harvest.
Matthew
9:37
|
 |
We
ask that the hearts of the people
in our neighborhoods, cities, and families be prepared as rich
soil so that when they hear the seed of your word they can embrace
it with a generous and good heart and bear fruit through
perseverance. Matt:13:19
|
 |
We
declare that the enemy will no longer be able to steal away the
seeds from the hearts that the gospel has been sown into.
Together we stand as One Man against the lies, deceit, and
trickery of the devil and declare—Life to the seeds…Let them
be activated. It is your will that NONE perish. Matt:13:19
|
 |
Let
the gospel seeds not be choked by the thorns of anxieties and
riches and pleasures of life, so they fail to produce mature
fruit. Release people from the entanglement of the pleasures of
life, from their anxieties, and from the love of riches. Matt:
13:19

Jesus,
if we are approaching the end of the Pilgrimage of Ingathering at
the end of the harvest season, help your people pray more
diligently for their loved ones and make each family an ark of
safety and each heart your sanctuary. Exodus

Father,
your word says that during Harvest Time no one will attack and
conquer your land when you go up to appear before the Lord your
God. Protect us from
attacks for the sake of the coming Harvest of souls. Exodus

You
declare there is “A time to harvest.”
Let us not miss the harvest season in our families, our
neighborhoods or in our nation.

Your
word, Jesus, says that your death will produce many new wheat
kernels—a plentiful harvest of new lives.
We ask that the good news of your death, burial, and
resurrection be preached throughout the land. John
12: 24

Keep
us from our own wrong desires, for we will be planting seeds of
evil and will surely reap a harvest of spiritual decay and death;

us plant the good things of the Spirit, so we will reap the
everlasting life that the Holy Spirit gives us.
