Praying for Unity day and Night, Part One

Note: this is a review and a renew prayer for unity, touching
on subjects beginning with the first series of prayers for
unity that poured out from His Throne Room, through our hearts
unto the church around the world. Please pray with us these
things which we pray here continually, and if you want, you
can also go back and reread and pray through our first 37
prayers for unity, etc.


"Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing." (1Th 5:16-17 AV)

"Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained
you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your
fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the
Father in my name, he may give it you. These things I command
you, that ye love one another." (Joh 15:16-17 AV)

"And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more
in knowledge and [in] all judgment; That ye may approve things
that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence
till the day of Christ; Being filled with the fruits of
righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and
praise of God." (Php 1:9-11 AV)


Father we come Boldly and Humbly before the Throne Room by the
Blood of Christ, Lead and guide us through the Holy Spirit to
pray for the Eternal purpose of God, which is the Church, lead
us to pray for unity in the church, and to pray your will.

Father we pray for a manifestation of unity to come into our
lives, churches, cities, groups in Christ, nations, and in the
church around the world. Father we pray for an anointing of
unity to be poured out upon us, and we pray for a revival of
unity, oneness, and reconciliation to come to your church.

"In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of
the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God,
neither he that loveth not his brother." (1Jo 3:10 AV)

"Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when
ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have
[them]." (Mr 11:24 AV)


Father lead us to unity, give us a vision for unity, and teach
us the way to unity. Father touch us with your love and
power, show us your love and the love of Christ for the
church, and open our eyes to the vision of unity. Give us
grace and understanding to see, know and understand the vision
of unity for the church.

Father we ask you to give us ears to hear the calling of the
Spirit saying be one in Christ's oneness. Father we are
called to be one, One Body, One Spirit, One Hope, One Lord,
One Faith, One Baptism, One God and Father of all through the
work of the Holy Spirit in each one of us and the church
around the world.

"Quench not the Spirit." (1Th 5:19 AV)

"For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether
[we be] Jews or Gentiles, whether [we be] bond or free; and
have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is
not one member, but many." (1Co 12:13-14 AV)


Father we pray for unity among the churches in a city, that
there be unity among those churches in a city. That you by
your Spirit will go to the cities around the world to every
city on earth, to bring unity among your people, and that the
city church will arise in each city in every nation in the
world.

Father we ask you to give us a revelation of your love, give
us understanding of your love, and teach us the depth of your
love. Fill us with such love to love you the way you want us
to love you, and to love one another the way you want us to
love those in Christ.

"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another;
as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this
shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love
one to another." (Joh 13:34-35 AV)


Father we want to receive more of your love, we want you to
fill us with more of your love. Father give us the first
love, to love you first of all above all things in this world.

"Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with
all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment." (Mt 22:37-38 AV)


Father we ask you to give us fiery love for you, that we have
the Holy Spirit and fire to love you more. Father give us
covenant love for your love is lasting, and we are connected
to you through Jesus Christ, and we can fellowship with you in
the Holy Spirit.

"If [there be] therefore any consolation in Christ, if any
comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any
bowels and mercies, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded,
having the same love, [being] of one accord, of one mind.
[Let] nothing [be done] through strife or vainglory; but in
lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than
themselves." (Php 2:1-3 AV)


Beyond this give us a desperate love for you that we will
always long for you and your presence.

"A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O
God, thou [art] my God; early will I seek thee: my soul
thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and
thirsty land, where no water is; To see thy power and thy
glory, so [as] I have seen thee in the sanctuary." (Ps 63:1-2
AV)

"Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be
with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou
hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of
the world." (Joh 17:24 AV)

"That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in
love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of
understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God,
and of the Father, and of Christ;" (Col 2:2 AV)

"And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and
prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner [stone];
In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an
holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together
for an habitation of God through the Spirit." (Eph 2:20-22
AV)


Make the church whole again. Bring the hands back to the
body, place the head upon the church again, and bring our legs
back to our body. Place and fit the church together again,
and make us whole in Christ again.

"But now [are they] many members, yet but one body. And the
eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor
again the head to the feet, I have no need of you." (1Co
12:20-21 AV)

"Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say
unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. Thus
saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause
breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: And I will lay
sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover
you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and
ye shall know that I [am] the LORD." (Eze 37:4-6 AV)


Father give us revelation of unity, give us revelation of the
church, give us revelation of the Kingdom of God, and give us
revelation of love.

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

"that we should be holy and without blame before him in
love...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
1:4b, 10 av)

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.

"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who,
being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal
with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him
the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and
became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."
(Php 2:5-8 AV)

"Hereby perceive we the love [of God], because he laid down
his life for us: and we ought to lay down [our] lives for the
brethren." (1Jo 3:16 AV)


Father give us grace to become more like Christ, for the more
we become like Christ the more we become one in Christ, the
more we can walk in peace and unity with one another in Christ
and to love one another in Christ. If we become more like
Christ, we become more filled with His holy love, and if we
become more like Christ, we then can find it more easy to
befriend and be like other believers in Christ; and the more
we become like Christ, the more we grow into unity of Christ's
oneness; and the more we become like Christ, and grow into
unity, the more we can witness to the world, and change our
world for the glory of Christ.

"And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that
they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in
me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world
may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou
hast loved me." (Joh 17:22-23 AV)


Father lead us to unity by the Holy Spirit, and through the
Holy Spirit, that we may glorify Christ. Teach us unity and
give us a vision for unity that we are one in Christ, one
Church, One Body with One Lord, One Spirit and One Father.
Guide those from around the world, and in every city into the
Unity of the Faith and the bond of peace in Christ.

"With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering,
forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity
of the Spirit in the bond of peace. [There is] one body, and
one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all,
who [is] above all, and through all, and in you all." (Eph
4:2-6 AV)


Father we pray for a revival of your love in our hearts. Fill
our hearts with your love.

"Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in
thee? Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.
I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak
peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not
turn again to folly." (Ps 85:6-8 AV)

"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have
peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good
cheer; I have overcome the world." (Joh 16:33 AV)


Teach us your love; open our eyes and understanding to your
love. Father fill us full with your holy love, fill our cups
with your love, let them overflow to those around us and our
cities and nations.

Father we ask you to fill our hearts with a great love for one
another in the body of Christ. We put on tender mercies,
kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering, bearing with one
another, and forgiving one another, and above all we put on
love, which is the bond of perfection and maturity. Father we
ask you to fill our hearts with the peace of God; give us
grace to allow your peace to rule our hearts. Father now aid
us, help us, and give us grace to obey the call to be called
into one body.

"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)


Father we ask you to bring a bond between the church in every
nation and the other national churches in all other nations.
Bring a unity between the body of Christ in every nation.
Give us grace and clothe us with humility. Raise up the body
of Christ in every nation, and raise up the global church of
Christ.

".Yea, all [of you] be subject one to another, and be clothed
with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace
to the humble." (1Pe 5:5 AV)


Father by your grace, and your leading we will pray for unity
in the church until unity comes in the church, until the
fullness of unity comes in the whole church, until you,
Father, fulfill the prophetic prophecy of unity in John 17,
and until unity comes to the city church.

"And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the
world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine
own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one,
as we [are]. While I was with them in the world, I kept them
in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none
of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture
might be fulfilled. And now come I to thee; and these things
I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in
themselves." (Joh 17:11-13 AV)

"And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that
they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in
me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world
may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou
hast loved me." (Joh 17:22-23 AV)


Father we ask you to pour out the Spirit of Grace and the
Spirit of Supplication upon the church around the world. We
pray for the work of prayer to be established in your church,
and we pray for the unity of prayer to be established in the
church.

Father we ask you to pour out prophetic prayers upon the
church and upon every one of us to pray prophetic prayers for
unity. Guide and lead us in how to pray for unity in the
Church.

"Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know
not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself
maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be
uttered." (Ro 8:26 AV)


Father we pray for unity to come in the church. We pray for
you to raise up the city church in every city and we pray for
you to raise the national church in every nation, and we pray
for you to raise up your global church.

Father we ask you for reconciliation in the church around the
world. We ask you for reconciliation in the cities and the
nations among your churches and members in the body of Christ.
We pray for grace for reconciliation to come and to rise to
its fullness for your glory and honor.

"To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto
himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath
committed unto us the word of reconciliation." (2Co 5:19 AV)


Now Father let unity be birthed in the heart of every member
in the body of Christ. Fill our hearts with love, grace,
mercy, understanding, revelation, anointing, power, and
kindness, to minister to one another in the body of Christ.

Father lead and guide through the Holy Spirit in all truth and
in the stages and steps of unity that we can move forward by
grace. "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which
thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye." (Ps 32:8 AV)

Give us grace and insight to see each move, each stage, and
each step of unity. Father we ask you to give us grace to
have patience and faith that through them we can inherit and
possess each step, time, and stage of unity, leading us to the
fullness of unity, reconciliation, oneness and love in the
body of Christ.

" for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made
known unto you" "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. Ye are my
friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call
you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord
doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I
have heard of my Father I have made known unto you." (Joh
15:12-15 AV)


Father give us grace and wisdom to overcome any tests of
unity, that through them we will have better unity in patience
and faith. Fill our hearts with more love and more humility
for the days ahead.

Father we pray for the church around the world, we pray pour
out the anointing of unity. Father we pray for every city
church in every city in every nation pour out the anointing of
unity. Farther we pray for every Christian group in Christ
pour out the anointing of unity between each one of them.

Father we pray pour out the blessings of unity upon the
church. Pour out the blessings of unity upon every member,
pour out the blessings of unity upon every church of the city,
and pour out the blessings of unity upon every church of the
nation, and pour out the blessings of unity upon every group
in Christ.

"And it shall come to pass afterward, [that] I will pour out
my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters
shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young
men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the
handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit." (Joe
2:28-29 AV)


Father grow the church, mature the church, raise the church,
bring the church to the place where we will all come into the
unity of the faith. The unity of the faith will come through
Jesus Christ our Lord and through the Holy Spirit.

"Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the
knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the
measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:" (Eph 4:13
AV)

"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide
you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but
whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will
shew you things to come." (Joh 16:13 AV)


Father remember when Jesus prayed the prayer for unity for the
body of Christ, this prayer stands before you day and night
waiting for you to fulfill; give us the unity of John 17 in
our hearts, minds and fellowships.

"I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, [which]
shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make
mention of the LORD, keep not silence, And give him no rest,
till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the
earth." (Isa 62:6-7 AV)

"But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the
living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable
company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the
firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge
of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect," (Heb
12:22-23 AV)

Remove division and replace division with Christ's oneness.
Give us the unity that is between the Godhead. All things are
possible with God, we believe, help our unbelief, and give us
faith to stand fast and to pray for reconciliation and unity
in the church, the body of Christ.

"Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things [are]
possible to him that believeth. And straightway the father of
the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe;
help thou mine unbelief." (Mr 9:23-24 AV)

"Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of
Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I
may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit,
with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;"
(Php 1:27 AV)


Father we ask give us grace to love one another, to love one
another in other groups in Christ. Change our limited love to
unlimited love. Give us a revelation of love. Give us such
love for one another, that by this love the entire world will
know that we are His disciples.

"Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth
through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, [see
that ye] love one another with a pure heart fervently:" (1Pe
1:22 AV)

"By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye
have love one to another." (Joh 13:35 AV)

"Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so
shall ye be my disciples. As the Father hath loved me, so
have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my
commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept
my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 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." (Joh 15:8-12 AV)


There is no division in the Kingdom of God, therefore there
cannot be any division in the church, for the church is a part
of the Kingdom of God. Father by your grace remove divisions
from the Church.

"And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom
cannot stand." (Mr 3:24 AV)

"So we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and every one
members one of another." (Ro 12:5 AV)

"Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? To his own
master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up:
for God is able to make him stand. One man esteemeth one day
above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let every
man be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the
day, regardeth [it] unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not
the day, to the Lord he doth not regard [it]. He that eateth,
eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that
eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we
die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die,
we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ both died, and
rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and
living. But why dost thou judge thy brother? Or why dost
thou set at nought thy brother? For we shall all stand before
the judgment seat of Christ." (Ro 14:4-10 AV)


Father we thank you for the unity and the diversity in the
body of Christ.

"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)


Father as by your Spirit you work unity within the church in
every city, in the body of Christ; Now we ask of you to work
by the Holy Spirit in the hearts of Christians in the
workplace. Bring your people together in the work place. Let
the workplace be a church of unity that is meeting during the
weekday. Bring Christians together on the job sites to love
one another, to pray for one another, and to fellowship with
one another, and to be witnesses for Jesus in the workplace.

Father increase our faith; give us faith for unity, give us
faith to see the whole church, give us faith for oneness, give
us faith for reconciliation, give us faith for national unity,
give us faith for global unity, and give us faith for city
church unity.

Father you see our hearts; you see the pain, hurts,
unforgiveness, envy, pride, hate, and mistrust in our hearts.
Heal our hearts, reform our hearts, change our hearts and give
us hearts for unity. We must be in unity with you first, and
then we must be in unity with our brothers from our hearts
first. Do this work in our hearts, the work of unity in our
hearts.

Father we pray for the unity of the Church through the
internet, Father we pray grace and protection for the Church
on the Internet, we pray fill the Church on the Internet with
your love.

Father we pray for a revival of unity to come upon us by the
Holy Spirit. We pray for grace and anointing, and that keys
will be given for the doors of love, unity, and blessings to
open wide upon us.

Father as those come today plant, renew, impart, change, add
to them the vision and heart of unity in the church. Father
we pray that you birth works of unity in those who come here
today. Father we pray for the anointing of unity to be poured
upon us today. Father we pray that everyone who is called to
this global prayer ministry for unity and this ministry of
unity will be filled with prophetic prayers for unity.

"Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in
thee?" (Ps 85:6 AV)

"But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day
[is] with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years
as one day." (2Pe 3:8 AV)

"After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will
raise us up, and we shall live in his sight." (Ho 6:2 AV)

"we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son [to
be] the Saviour of the world" "No man hath seen God at any
time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his
love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him,
and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we
have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son [to be]
the Saviour of the world." (1Jo 4:12-14 AV)

"the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy" "And I fell
at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See [thou do
it] not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have
the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of
Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." (Re 19:10 AV)


Father we pray renew the prayer of unity in our hearts, renew
prayers of unity in our hearts, renew the faith and hope for
unity, and renew the vision for unity.

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