Day 5, we prayed for the nations of the world. The atmosphere in the church was electric. The word came from Luke 4.18-19.
The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.
Jesus has commissioned the church to go and preach the gospel to all the nations. He has anointed us to declare freedom to those who are being held captive by the power of sin and darkness, to open blinded eyes and proclaim the gospel of salvation.
Let the nations open up, especially those that are hostile and indifferent to the gospel of Jesus. We speak salvation to all the nations of the world. We declare the name of Jesus to nations that are going through political turmoil that even in the midst of trouble, the gospel will find its way in.
“Build up, build up, prepare the road!
Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people.” –Isaiah 57.14
Back off Satan, these nations belong to Jesus Christ!
