POLAND 24 – AUGUST 2018
I AM THE GOD WHO PERFORMS MIRACLES
I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below. 
Acts 2:19
PRAYER FOR THE CHURCH – THE BODY OF CHRIST
1.	We pray for the Church to wholeheartedly seek the Lord, to be ready, alert, full of the Holy Spirit, always ready for His coming.
“Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.” 	Hebrews 4:7
2.	Let us ask the Lord to impart to us a deep revelation of the true Gospel life, that we would understand that following Christ has its cost.
In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.	Luke 14:33
3.	We pray that the Church will repent of the sin of racism (putting oneself higher than those of a different race, nationality or people group) which leads to division and death. May God help us to eliminate the deepest roots of our natural tendency to reject and scorn people who are different from us. May our Father teach us to love them.
4.	We pray for the Church to acknowledge and recognize God’s purposes for Israel.
…do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.  You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.”  Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble.  For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either. Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. 	Romans 11:18-22
5.	We bless the people leading and coordinating the ‘Ewangeliczna Polska’ (Evangelical Poland) movement, and we pray for wisdom and discernment for them, so that through the power of the Holy Spirit, plans of action for the evangelical community for the next 3 years would be established.

PRAYER FOR POLAND 
Surely his salvation is near those who fear him … Psalm 85:9

1.	We pray that God’s Presence would reach those who govern Poland, that they would experience God’s love, which changes lives.
Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.	Psalm 84:5
2.	We ask the Lord to inspire believers to take part in public life and to stand in the up-coming local elections. We pray for righteous, wise people at each level of leadership. We bless Warsaw, asking the Lord that the next President would be a person of God’s heart. 
3.	We ask the Lord for wisdom and courage for the 1st President of the High Court, judge Małgorzata Gersdorf, concerning decisions to be made about her status.
4.	We pray for a fast improvement of legislation concerning the rules of independence for courts and judges.
5.	We pray that the whole of society would stand against the proposal from the LGBT movement to bring into schools lessons concerning sexual orientation and gender identity.
6.	We pray that the Act concerning rehabilitation and medical services for the disabled – enabling them to be seen without being on a waiting list – would not bring about prejudice or resentment towards this social group. We pray that the disabled would receive suitable acceptance and encouragement from society.
7.	We continue to pray for God’s protection over Poland.
8.	We pray for the President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, for God to bless him with many spiritual experiences. 
Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.	Jeremiah 33:3
9.	We pray for the President of Warsaw, Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz, to be in the centre of God’s will, for God to direct her steps. 
The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.  Proverbs 18:10

PRAYER FOR THE ISRAEL and UKRAINE
The Lord has made proclamation to the ends of the earth: “Say to Daughter Zion, ‘See, your Savior comes!	Isaiah 62:11
1.	We thank the Lord for Israel and pray that Poland will bless this nation in many different ways.
2.	We pray that God would protect Israel from eco-terrorism, which destroys land and crops by setting them on fire, causing irreversible damage to the eco-system (kites and balloons flown with bombs and explosive materials attached, which caused about 700 fires around the border with Gaza.)
3.	We pray for the salvation of Jews living in Israel and in other nations. 
4.	We pray for the Lord’s favour for the Ukraine: release from Russia’s grip, wisdom for its leaders, economic growth.
