PRAYING THROUGH THE NAMES OF JESUS

Hey GChurch! We are continuing in our series “Praying Through the Names of Jesus”. This month we will be exploring 4 more Names. Remember, check your email every Wednesday to pray along with us as we explore “Praying Through the Names of Jesus.” Let’s make GChurch a house of Prayer.

PROPHET

Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and among his own relatives and in his own household.”

Mark 6:4

Adoration

Jesus, in fulfilling the role of prophet, You were and are the spokes-person for God. You also came as a proclaimer of the future. The prophets prior to You began their messages with the phrase, “Thus says the Lord.” But when You spoke God’s words, You simply said, “I say to you…” All the previous prophets were merely articulating what God had told them to tell the people. Yet when You spoke, You spoke with the authority of God because You are God, as John 1:1 reminds me. I worship You and honor You for living out this name so that we could hear from God through the perfection of Your unity with Him and Your sinless life.

Confession

Jesus, a prophet tells people to repent. A prophet speaks from the heart of God. You, as the prophet of God, have made known to me my sins for which I need to repent. I repent of my sins before You and ask that You will cleanse me from all unrighteousness according to the purification from Your shed blood on the cross. Thank You for the forgiveness that is made available to me each and every day so that I only have to come to You in repentance to receive the gift of cleansing through You, the prophet and Savior of my soul.

Thanksgiving

Thank You, Jesus, for speaking to us the very words of God. Thank You for revealing Your commandments of loving God and loving others. Thank You that You have not hidden the wisdom of the ages from us, but You have made it plain as the prophet of God. I give You all my gratitude for showing me what I need to do in order to please God. May my prayers and actions reflect Your rule in my life. May I be guided in such a way through Your prophetic words that I walk in cadence with my King and His will for my life.

Supplication

Jesus, Hebrews 1:1-2 tells us of this name of Yours when it says, “God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world.” Through Your prophetic role, the last word on any and every subject matter is made known. You have the final say-so on everything. The problems in my life arise when I do not surrender to You, the prophet, giving You the final say in my life. I want to surrender to Your Word as the prophet always, Jesus. Help me surrender more completely to You.
