Humble Hearts


Father we come to you by the Blood of Jesus Christ and by the partnership with the Holy Spirit who dwells in us through faith. Father grant us according to the riches of your glory to be strengthened with might through the Holy Spirit in the inner man.

Father give us hearing ears, seeing eyes and humble hearts to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to the churches, for the hearing ear and the seeing eye are both from the Lord. Open our ears and eyes to the vision of biblical unity in the church.

Father we give you thanks for doing the work of grace in our hearts forming humble hearts. Teach us humility by your lovingkindness and grace. Remove from us a proud heart and give us a humble heart. Break our proud hearts and cast out our haughty spirits by your lovingkindness, for you have always loved us with an everlasting love, therefore with lovingkindness draw us toward you.

Father work in us the humility of grace and of the Spirit, give us grace to learn humility so that we can see the whole church, and no longer stand in judgment over our brothers and sisters in cutting them off from the fellowship of the brethren through our pride and self-imposed religion.

Renew in us a steadfast heart for unity and love in the Church, create in us humble hearts filled with grace and love for one another. Through humble hearts we can see our brothers and sisters in other groups in Christ, we can see the need to fellowship and to love those in other groups, and we can see the vision for Christian unity.

Give us deliverance from pride that masks religious hatred toward those in other groups and other groups in Christ. Let us come to the common ground, the Suffering Lord on the Cross, and the raised Lord. Baptize us unto the death of the Cross in Christ by faith, so that we die to envy, strife, divisions, pride, hate, and a lack of love toward the brethren in other groups in Christ by faith, and we are raised with the Lord to love, humility, unity, oneness, servanthood, and to holinesses.

We humble ourselves to you Lord, you give more grace to the humble, and the humble you will raise up for the purpose of your glory. We humble ourselves and become servants of one another in the church. Let those who desire to be a greater group in Christ first be a servant of all in Christ. Father gives us humble hearts and servant hearts for the works of unity in Christ in the church.

Father we humble ourselves in washing the feet of our brethren in other groups in Christ; not only do we humble ourselves to wash their feet, in addition, we humble ourselves to allow them to wash our feet by faith in Christ.

Father we ask you to build the roads, highways and the ways to unity in the church. Raise up those who can reach across the many groups in Christ to build bridges of reconciliation, unity, vision, purpose, and love in the church.

Father we ask you for breakthroughs, developments, and discoveries in true unity and true reconciliation in the church. Father we ask you to establish a history of unity in Christ in the church, establish deep roots of unity in Christ in the Church. Give us unity that will last throughout all times and history as we wait for the return of Christ.

Father pour out upon us the anointing of unity, help us to walk in unity, agreement, and harmony in Christ's oneness in the church. Father pour upon us the anointing of blessing and fill our cups full with the Holy Spirit, and bring us to the place where we minister in the outflow of the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

We pray in the name of Jesus Amen.
