Holiness, Mercy, and Love

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 showers and rains of blessings upon all believers in
Christ, upon all spiritual leaders in Christ, upon all believers in the
workplace, upon all Christian marriages, upon all Christian families, upon
the city church in every city, upon the regional church in every region,
upon the national church in every nation, and upon the global church, the
church around the world.

"My doctrine shall drop as the rain...I will publish the name of the LORD"
"My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as
the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our
God. [He is] the Rock, his work [is] perfect: for all his ways [are]
judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right [is] he." (De
32:2-4 AV)

"I have declared unto them thy name"
"And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare [it]: that the
love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them." (Joh 17:26
AV)

"keep through thine own name"
"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]." (Joh 17:11 AV)

"our Lord Jesus Christ...King of kings, and Lord of lords"
"That thou keep [this] commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the
appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: Which in his times he shall shew, [who
is] the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;"
(1Ti 6:14-15 AV)

"He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers [that] water
the earth...Yea, all kings shall fall down before him"
"[A Psalm] for Solomon. Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy
righteousness unto the king's son. He shall judge thy people with
righteousness, and thy poor with judgment. The mountains shall bring peace
to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness. He shall judge the
poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break
in pieces the oppressor. They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon
endure, throughout all generations. He shall come down like rain upon the
mown grass: as showers [that] water the earth. In his days shall the
righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth...
Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him. For
he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and [him] that
hath no helper. He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls
of the needy... prayer also shall be made for him continually; [and] daily
shall he be praised." (Ps 72:1-7, 11-13, 15b AV)

"there shall be showers of blessing"
"And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I
will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of
blessing." (Eze 34:26 AV)

heaven:" (Ec 3:1 AV)

"Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; [so] the LORD shall
make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the
field." (Zec 10:1 AV)

"Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for
he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down
for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first [month].
...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. And
I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and
pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into
blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. And it shall
come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be
delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the
LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call." (Joe 2:23,
27-32 AV)

"In the light of the king's countenance [is] life; and his favour [is] as a

the early and latter rain"
"Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the
husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long
patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also
patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the
judge standeth before the door." (Jas 5:7-9 AV)

"ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father
glorified, that ye bear much fruit"
"If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will,
and it shall be done unto you. 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 15:7-12 AV)

"if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you
this day...I will give [you] the rain of your land in his due season, the
first rain and the latter rain"
"And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my
commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to
serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, That I will give [you]
the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain,
that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil." (De
11:13-14 AV)

"This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you...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 15:12, 16-17 AV)


Father this we pray, for all time in Christ is a time for blessings,
prophetic fulfillment, prayer fulfillment, revival, and unity.

Apart from that, we pray Father by faith.

"And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his
brother also...and this is the victory that overcometh the world, [even] our
faith"
"And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his
brother also. Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God:
and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of
him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and
keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his
commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born
of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the
world, [even] our faith." (1Jo 4:21-5:4 AV)

"Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for
the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former
lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye
holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I
am holy... 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: Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but
of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever."
(1Pe 1:13-15, 22-23 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 ...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 1:4,10 AV)

"That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or
wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish."
