Nehemiah Prayer Team
By: Debbie Blyler
For years many have considered the Church and the Kingdom as one. Though they are separate, they have a common goal. Beyond getting saved and becoming a part of the Church we are taught to pray, "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven…" In our salvation, YAHveh intends us to possess cities by prayerfully driving out inhabitants that populate kingdoms of this world. This allows repossessing them for His original purposes before the fall. He is restoring the order and authority of the apostle to the Church to equip her in this direction. He desires us to have a heart for our cities as He does.
Intercession is what bridges the power of YAHveh to His creation. Another branch of intercession was formed at Victorious Living Chapel. This team is named after Nehemiah, an apostle of the old covenant, whose heart was touched when he saw the condition of the city. He did not stop at just seeing, he made intercessions to YAHveh. From Nehemiah’s intercessions, YAHveh interceded back into His creation with favor, wisdom, resources, and people to go in and restore the city not only physically but spiritually also.
His Word says the "kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdoms of our God" and we will not keep silent until HE establishes a praise in the earth!
A few of the areas covered during our Nehemiah prayer time are:
Lost souls - "White is the harvest and few are the laborers…"
Government - "The government shall be upon His shoulders" and "Pray for ALL in authority…"
Sister Churches - "Father make them one so the world will know…"
Pray for the peace of - "Jerusalem and the ‘War On Terror’..."
Youth - "The rising generations that will usher in His return…."
