POLAND 24 – SEPTEMBER 2018

I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE
Jesus said: I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6
PRAYER FOR THE CHURCH – THE BODY OF CHRIST
1.	We pray that God’s presence would envelope the Church, that the greatest desire of every believer would be to draw close to Him, so that we would feel His presence and slowly be changed by it, creating in us true worship in Spirit and truth.
2.	We pray that every member of the Church would know God’s desire for his or her life. For those who have put down their dreams we pray that the time for their resurrection would come!
For no word from God will ever fail. Luke 1:37

3.	We ask God to give us a deep desire to be filled with the Holy Spirit every day, so that we could follow Jesus in power.

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,… Isaiah 61:1-2

4.	We pray for the renewal of the apostolic ministry in Poland, that Jesus Christ really would become the Head of the Church, and the Church His body, functioning in an harmonious and orderly way. We pray for all church leaders, that they would receive the gift of discernment of the times, and wisdom to understand what task God has for the Churches.
5.	Let us ask God to teach the Church how to hear and how to react to the tested voice of the prophets.
Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.  Amos 3:7
6.	We pray that the Church would become more open to those who are different, that love, tolerance and patience towards them would characterize God’s children.
7.	We pray that the ‘Ewangeliczna Polska’ (Evangelical Poland) movement would become an instrument of uniting the Church and that God’s life would flow through Poland.

PRAYER FOR POLAND 
1.	We pray that the darkness would fall off from Poles’ eyes, so that everyone would encounter the living God, that Poland would be consumed by the Spirit of repentance, and that God would not have to bring judgment.
God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” James 4:6
2.	We pray that God would touch the leaders of our country, so that each one would personally come to understand who God is and who they are, so that the President, Prime Minister, Government and the whole of the Parliament would know the true and living Saviour, Jesus Christ.
So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! 
1 Corinthians 10:12
3.	We pray for the political campaign before the upcoming local elections:
•	That God would stop the enemy’s wave of iniquity
•	That Warsaw would receive a good and wise President
•	That throughout the whole country the right people would be chosen for local councils
•	That all Poles who are legible to vote would take an active part in the elections
 
4.	We continue to ask the Lord for wisdom and courage for the judge, Małgorzaty Gersdorf, as she makes decisions concerning the High Court and especially her status.
5.	We also continue to pray for a fast correction in the legislation concerning procedures of any unlawfulness of the courts or judges.
6.	We pray that parents of school children would take an active interest in the content of extra lessons offered at school and that they would use their right to decide about the content in a wise way.
7.	We again thank God for His protection over Poland and we ask Him to continue to wrap His arms around us.
8.	We pray for the President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, that God would thwart the plan of the enemy against his life and the life of his family, and that all the prophetic words that have been spoken over his life would be fulfilled. 
But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, Psalm 33:18
PRAYER FOR ISRAEL 
Proclaim the power of God, whose majesty is over Israel, whose power is in the heavens. You, God, are awesome in your sanctuary; the God of Israel gives power and strength to his people. Praise be to God! Psalm 68:34-35
1.	We pray that the truth of Jesus the messiah would touch the whole of Israel, that the hearts of the people would turn back to Jesus the Saviour. 
2.	We ask God that the inhabitants of Israel would be under His protection, that He Himself would stop Hamas’s attacks of rockets and bombs used to ignite fires (around 3000 hectares have been burnt – fields, plantations, forests and nature reserves on the border with Gaza) Psalm 91
3.	We pray that Israel would experience signs and wonders happening, and that God’s grace and favor would be upon the people so that no one could doubt what they see.
PRAYER FOR UKRAINE
We ask the Lord to pour out His Spirit on the Ukraine, so that every person in that nation would come to know Jesus. We pray that we would be able to put our difficult history behind us and that forgiveness and reconciliation between Poland and Ukraine would come.
