My Christmas Prayer

Dear Lord Jesus,

 

I know that you were not born on December 25th, but with all my heart I celebrate Your birth with others who love and appreciate You and all You have done and continue to do for us. Let us have a true awakening and an anointing of your Spirit that causes us to celebrate You every moment of our lives. Let us yield to your Spirit and allow Him to fully form you within each of us. You are no longer a little baby; You are full grown and You are the King of kings and the Lord of lords.

 

The world around us that is under Satan's control is trying to destroy, erase or change anything that mentions or points to You. I pledge to You that I will by the help of Your Spirit continue to do what I can to awaken the hearts and minds of those who say they believe in You so that we will unite in the faith and become unified witnesses for you and Your kingdom.

 

Satan and his ministers disguised as ministers of righteousness have invaded and taken over parts of what is called Christianity with their lies, deceptions and vain philosophies. Though Your word warns of these things, I see young and old alike being captured and deceived by him and his false ministers who are deceiving and deceived. Satan has an arsenal of strategies and tactics and he knows that not everyone will fall for the same thing so he tailors and personalizes his attacks. So far his strategies and tactics have been so successful in blinding the minds and hearts of many professing Christians that they are not only not resisting what he is doing, but are actually cooperating with him.

 

One thing that defies logic is that many people who profess You as their Savior and Lord say that they see the dangers all around us but they can do very little if anything because they have been captivated by parts of Christianity which deny the power that You have provided for Your people to do your will on earth. One of the things that prevent them from waking up is that many of those who don't deny the power have set bad examples by either prostituting it for their own gain or by chasing wildfires. Satan must sit back and laugh as he continues to take ground. At present, it is almost impossible to see how he could feel threatened by the church at large.

 

Much has changed since last Christmas! Much will change by next Christmas! I believe that what will take place is largely up to what takes place with Your followers. We desperately need restoration, revival and awakening! I know that Satan and his forces, both demonic and human, have plans to double down on their efforts in attacking You and Your followers. You surprised him and His followers at Your birth; You surprised him and his followers at Your crucifixion and subsequent resurrection. Let’s surprise him and them this next year!

 

Let there come forth a faithful remnant church that totally yields to Your Spirit and allows Him to fully form You within each member thereof. With Him in total control of our spirits, souls and bodies, let our meat be to do the will of our Heavenly Father and glorify You in all things. Let there be a church in Your image that manifest Your love, power, truth and unity.

 

Lord Jesus, You are no longer a little baby; You are full grown and You are King of kings and Lord of lords. In the future every knee will bow and acknowledge You as such. I choose to willingly bow to You and acknowledge all of who You are now. Thank You with all my heart!

 

In Your Name,

 

Amen
