Lord we come together in the unity of Your Spirit and pray collectively for those in Afghanistan. <\/span><\/p>\n

1.That those who already believe in You would hold strong to their convictions that You are the great I AM, and that before Abraham was You were! <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe people said, \u201cYou aren\u2019t even fifty years old. How can you say you have seen Abraham?\u201d Jesus answered, \u201cI tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I Am!\u201d At that point they picked up stones to throw at him. But Jesus was hidden from them and left the Temple.\u201d<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u202d\u202dJohn\u202c \u202d8:57-59\u202c \u202dNLT\u202c\u202c<\/strong> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2. For those who are one with us in Christ would continue to do the work Christ has called them to do. To preach the gospel to all nations and have faith in Christ. And to believe that Jesus really is God. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Father and I are one.\u201d Once again the people picked up stones to kill him. Jesus said, \u201cAt my Father\u2019s direction I have done many good works. For which one are you going to stone me?\u201d They replied, \u201cWe\u2019re stoning you not for any good work, but for blasphemy! You, a mere man, claim to be God.\u201d\u201d<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u202d\u202dJohn\u202c \u202d10:30-33\u202c \u202dNLT\u202c<\/strong> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

3. That others who don\u2019t yet believe would be convicted by the faith of the believers. For the unbelievers to see the work of the Father IN those Christian believers and question their traditional beliefs and at least believe the work God has done. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPhilip said, \u201cLord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.\u201d Jesus replied, \u201cHave I been with you all this time, Philip, and yet you still don\u2019t know who I am? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why are you asking me to show him to you? Don\u2019t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words I speak are not my own, but my Father who lives in me does his work through me. Just believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Or at least believe because of the work you have seen me do. \u201cI tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father.\u201d<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u202d\u202dJohn\u202c \u202d14:8-12\u202c \u202dNLT\u202c\u202c<\/strong> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 That many would be worshiping Jesus during this time each in their own way but together in Spirit. <\/span><\/p>\n

Matthew 14:33; 15:25; 28:9, 17; Luke 24:52; Mark 5:6<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

5. That we would be ONE with each other and with God just as Jesus is with the Father and Spirit. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c\u201cI have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one.\u201d<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u202d\u202dJohn\u202c \u202d17:22\u202c \u202dNLT\u202c\u202c<\/strong> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

6. That we would rejoice in knowing that Jesus created us and that we have Him and His eternal word and we are His image bearers. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.\u201d<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u202d\u202dJohn\u202c \u202d1:1-4\u202c \u202dNKJV\u202c\u202c<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
