Purposeful Passion

Father we come boldly and humbly to the Throne Room by the
Blood of Christ, lead us and guide us by the Holy Spirit in
praying for the church around the world, and the church in
every city, and praying for all members in the body of Christ,
and praying for unity.

Father we pray for your eternal purpose, which is the Church,
for in the beginning you wanted your beloved and only begotten
Son
to have a Bride, and Christ your Son had a holy desire that He
wanted a Bride to love, thus the eternal purpose of God.

"The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the
bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that
shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD [is] good;
for his mercy [endureth] for ever: [and] of them that shall
bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For
I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the
first, saith the LORD." (Jer 33:11 AV)

"These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain
in you, and [that] your joy might be full. This is my
commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his
life for his friends." (Joh 15:11-13 AV)


Just as the first Adam wanted someone to love, so the last
Adam
wanted someone to love; God is love, and He loves His Son the
only begotten with all of His heart, so the Son wanted to love
someone with all of His heart, for God is love.

"Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and
every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He
that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love." (1Jo 4:7-8
AV)

"Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us,
and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one
another." (1Jo 4:10-11 AV)


Christ wanted, desired to have a wife, and a bride, thus the
eternal purpose of God. The church is the eternal purpose of
God, one of the names of the church is the eternal purpose of
God, we as the friends of the Bridegroom, the Bridegroom is
Christ, pray for the eternal purpose of God.

"He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of
the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth
greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy
therefore is fulfilled." (Joh 3:29 AV)

"According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation
of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before
him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of
children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good
pleasure of his will ...Having made known unto us the mystery
of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath
purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness
of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ,
both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; [even] in
him:" (Eph 1:4,5,9,10 AV)


Father raise up all over the church around the world a mighty
company called the friends of the Bridegroom, who will pray,
fast, and seek for the eternal purpose of God.

There is only one bride, that bride is the church, this bride
is one, the church is one, the church is called to be one,
called into unity, it is time for the church to be one and to
be in holy unity, yes we are always one, but we will become
one.

"[There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in
one hope of your calling;" (Eph 4:4 AV)

"And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the
cross, having slain the enmity thereby:" (Eph 2:16 AV)

"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which
also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful." (Col
3:15 AV)

"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet
appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall
appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."
(1Jo 3:2 AV)


Father the church will come into holy unity, come into
maturity, and become a glorious church, thus we pray according
to your will and the Holy Scriptures; if we pray according to
the Word of God, which is the Bible, God hears us, and if we
know He hears us, we know our prayers will come to pass.

"And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we
ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we
know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have
the petitions that we desired of him." (1Jo 5:14-15 AV)

"Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, [then] have we
confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of
him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things
that are pleasing in his sight. And this is his commandment,
That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ,
and love one another, as he gave us commandment." (1Jo
3:21-23 AV)


Father give us purposeful passion to pray for unity, to pray
for the church; the purpose to pray for unity is the eternal
purpose of God, this is our purpose, give us passion in our
purpose, for your purpose is our purpose to pray forth, to
pray through, to walk it out by faith, and to see it come to
fullness.

Father fill us with holy passion to pray and live for Christ,
fill us with holy passion for unity, fill us with purposeful
passion for the church.

Father open our eyes to your eternal purpose, that we will see
and know that always your eternal purpose was and is the Bride
of Christ, which is the church.

"And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from
God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her
husband." (Re 21:2 AV)

"Neither shall they say, Lo here! Or, lo there! For, behold,
the kingdom of God is within you." (Lu 17:21 AV)

"And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit
within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their
flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:" (Eze 11:19 AV)

"And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in
my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do [them]."
(Eze 36:27 AV)

"And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the
name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave
us commandment. And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth
in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in
us, by the Spirit which he hath given us." (1Jo 3:23-24 AV)


Father we pray for unity, and we pray for oneness, and we pray
for healing, and we pray for revival, and we pray for prayer
fulfillments soon.

Father bring unity today, bring unity tomorrow, bring unity in
the future, and bring unity in the end times, in your church
around the world.

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