Protection and Unity


Father we come to you through the blood of Christ. Anoint us and lead
us by the Holy Spirit in praying prayers for unity and praying prayers for
the body of Christ. We pray for a strong sense of unity to arise in the
hearts of all believers, we pray for reconciliation, unity and oneness for
the church in every city, and in every nation, and we pray for the church on
the global level to arise in unity, vision, glory, and compassion.

Father we pray for unity to arise in the hearts of many believers and
all believers, we pray for our minds to be set free from anything that is
hindering unity in the church.

Father we pray for reconciliation and healing love to come a across the
church in every nation and in every city, to bring a restoration of
Christian love, and restoration of Christian unity. Teach us, Lord, that
if the church will stand together from city to city, then we can see our
cities and nations won to Christ in a short time.

Father we pray add to the church in each city, and in each nation, for
there is only one church in each city, and there is only one church in each
nation. Teach us, Lord, that if there is division in a city among the
believers then the Lord can't add to the church as many such as should be
saved.

"And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking
bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness
of heart, Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord
added to the church daily such as should be saved." (Ac 2:46-47 AV)


If the city church is in division, it is not in right standing, for the
Lord to bless and add to the church. Father we pray heal all divisions in
the city church in every city, and the national church in every nation.

Father we see with the eyes of our heart the walls that have been
broken down through division and hate, we can see them in the church around
the world.

"Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we [are] in, how Jerusalem
[lieth] waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us
build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach." (Ne 2:17 AV)


We have dug pits for ourselves, we have broken the walls around us, we
have been bitten by serpents, we have dashed our feet against the chief
cornerstone, and the precious living stones, we have become conceited, we
have been provoking one another, and we have been envying one another, we
bite and devour one another, and we are being consumed by one another, we
are judged and chastened by the Lord, we have brought judgment to ourselves,
this is why many have become weak and sick among us.

"This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you."
(Joh 15:12 AV)

"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have
loved you, that ye also love one another." (Joh 13:34 AV)

"That this [is] a rebellious people, lying children, children [that] will
not hear the law of the LORD: Which say to the seers, See not; and to the
prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things,
prophesy deceits: Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause
the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. Wherefore thus saith the
Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression
and perverseness, and stay thereon: Therefore this iniquity shall be to you
as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking
cometh suddenly at an instant." (Isa 30:9-13 AV)

"But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed
one of another." (Ga 5:15 AV)


Father we pray have mercy upon us, heal us from our unforgiveness,
hatred, bitterness, and division. Build up the old waste places, raise up
the foundation of many generations, and Let Christ arise the repairer of the
breach; Father repair the breaches throughout the church around the world in
every city, and in every nation, repair Father the breaches of unity and of
the city church, rebuild the old ruins, raise up the former desolations,
repair the ruined cities, raise, heal repair the desolations of many
generations. Father repair the ruined city church in every city, repair the
ruined regional church in every region, repair the ruined national church in
every nation, and repair the ruined church around the world.

"The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart,
O God, thou wilt not despise. Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build
thou the walls of Jerusalem. Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices
of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall
they offer bullocks upon thine altar." (Ps 51:17-19 AV)

"And [they that shall be] of thee shall build the old waste places: thou
shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be
called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in." (Isa
58:12 AV)


Father raise up the city churches, regional churches, national
churches and the global church that have fallen down repair their damages;
repair the breaches of unity and the city church.

Can we not be given ears to hear, Lord, what the Holy Spirit is
saying to the Church?

This people say the time has not come, the time that the LORD's house
should be built.

Give us to hear you say, Lord, "It is not time for you to dwell in
your paneled houses meaning local churches, and while the city church lie in
ruins."

"Is it a time for you yourselves to live in your paneled houses, while this
house lies in ruins?" (Hag 1:4 NRSV)


Give us ears to hear you now, Lord, saying, "Go up to the mountains and
bring word and build the city church, restore the city, heal the city
church, and bless the city church, that the LORD may take pleasure in it and
be glorified says the LORD. -(Haggai 1:2,4,8)

"In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day
of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet unto
Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of
Josedech, the high priest, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying,
This people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD'S house should
be built. Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying, [Is
it] time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house [lie]
waste? Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways. Ye
have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye
drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none
warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages [to put it] into a bag with
holes. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways. Go up to the
mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in
it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD." (Hag 1:1-8 AV)


Father repair the walls of divine protection, repair the walls of
unity, those who love one another, so that those who have unity with God
and with one another have protection.

Teach us, Lord, that all believers born again are members of the Body
of Christ. Give us to know that there is only one church in each city, that
church is called the city church, there is only one church on the earth,
that is called the Body of Christ. Help us know, Lord, the Body of Christ is
beyond local churches, Christian groups, people groups, and race; the Body
of Christ is those who Know Christ and are born of the Spirit.

Teach us that if we believe in the Body of Christ, we will love one
another, we will seek unity with one another outside of our own Christian
groups, and we will find simple ways to fellowship and worship with all
believers.

Give us to know, Lord, those who walk in love, forgiveness, and unity,
with all believers, have divine protection and good health. Show us if we
want protection and good health, then we must forgive, then love, and seek
unity with all believers in Christ.

Give us to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying, "Forgive, love and seek
unity with one another in Christ!"

Father we ask for mercy and forgiveness from you for divisions, and
sins against one another and the church, heal us and restore us.

Father we thank you for mercy and grace, we thank you when we are weak
you are strong. Thank you for your mercy when we did not walk in love, Thank
for your grace when we did not forgive others, thank you for you patience
teaching us how to walk in love and unity, teach us more, be merciful more,
be gracious more, and bring restoration of Christian love in our hearts
toward one another in Christ.

We know, Lord, we only have divine protection for the reason of the
blood of Christ, we cover ourselves in the blood of Christ; we draw the
Blood of Christ around us, for Blood of Christ gives us divine protection.
Father put a well of fire around us, put the wall of the glory of the Lord
around us, for the glory of the Lord shall be our rear guard, and put the
well of standards, all of these from the Holy Spirit. Father place a wall of
angels around us to protect us, put a well of the intercession of Christ
around us, and the prayers of the saints, put a wall of favor around us, let
the Word of God be a wall of protection around us, put the wall of faith
around us, put the wall of salvation around us, place the well of the love
of God around us, and place the well of the peace of God around us, Father
we believe and we pray for divine protection.

"And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel
went out to meet him, And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man,
saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited [as] towns without walls for the
multitude of men and cattle therein: For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her
a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her." (Zec
2:3-5 AV)

"And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one,
even as we are one:" (Joh 17:22 AV)


Father we pray repair the breaches of unity, and we pray for the
restoration of Christian love; Father bring unity in the church.

We pray in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
