Fruit of the Spirit Series

Prayer For the Healing of the Nations

And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.  In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month.  The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations (Revelation 22:1-2).

Wow, if we have discussed the life-long processes and blessings of bearing and harvesting the nine Fruits of the Spirit, can you imagine just what the other three will do to our glorified bodies in heaven?!  O, what we have to look forward to—everlasting life—and there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him (Rev. 22:3). 

And who are His servants? We are the ones redeemed to God by His blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation (Rev. 5:9c).

 
For the hearts of this people have grown dull.  Their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, so that I should heal them (Acts 28:27).

It’s time to stop weeping, Children of God, stop hating and being rooted in bitterness.  The works of the flesh will quench the Holy Spirit and prevent Him from manifesting His Fruits in you.  You must let go of the pain.  What’s troubling us the most is not being able to get rid of the pain—for some of us the pain is pounding; others the pain is dull and eerie and is like a still small voice constantly reminding us to stay angry at that old oppressive invisible “man”.

Don’t grow used to the pain, dear Christian.  Do accept it as a permanent part of your life.  IT’S TIME TO BE  FREE into abundant life, energetic physical, emotional and spiritual health.  You are a child of God; and our Father will never leave you.  He’s only a breath away—waiting for you to simply A.S.K.: Ask for His forgiveness for the stubbornness/disobedience in you that has put you in this pain you’re in.  Seek for His favour and mercy.  Knock on the door of His heart through prayer, fasting, meditation of His Word—in other words, draw closer to God and the devil (the pain) will flee from you.

Sometimes we build our own prison of pain by the wrong choices we make (can’t blame all our suffering on the devil).  The devil can only wait to see what choice we make, then he knows how to put the shackles on you when you break the Law of Christ.  But when you bear the multitude harvest of the Fruits of the Holy Spirit, you manifest the power, the capability, to break those satanic strongholds . . . and be free, to love yourself again, to be wholly healed. 

The Fruits of the Spirit are your character formation; and you must be transformed by the renewing of your mind (the driver of your soul).  You must change from disobedience to complete obedience in Christ and in His Word.

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.  And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is good and acceptable and the perfect will of God (Romans 12:1-2).

THE PERFECT WILL OF GOD IS THE BEARING OF HIS FRUITS—TO BECOME LIKE HIS SON JESUS CHRIST.

Prayer For the Nations

Holy Spirit,

Fall afresh upon every tribe of every nation

Tear us apart in the inner man and destroy that which gives us pain.

Please forgive us of our sins masked in murders,

hailed in hatred, buried in bitterness and brutality.

And shower your mercies upon us mere flesh and bones.

May you ignite a fire, a passion in us, for serving you, O Lord

In Spirit and in Truth

Proving what is good and right by you;

Then put us back together again that Your love be our love

Your power our power; Your mind our mind, Your heart our heart

And Your hands our hands to help us reach out and touch

Somebody’s life as channels of healing

making this earthly world a reflection of our home in heaven.

In Jesus Name we pray.

Amen
