ASCEND IN PRAYER

Matt 17:1-2
And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, and was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

Prayer is not just about asking for things, it’s a spiritual journey that can lead to profound transformation. Unfortunately, many believers remain stagnant in their prayer lives, stuck at the base of the “mountain”, where inconsistency and doubt hinder real change. This base level of prayer lacks the power to bring about significant outcome.

To experience genuine change, a purposeful approach to prayer is crucial. This intentional mindset enables you to ascend to a higher level of prayer, where your prayers become potent enough to pull the answers you need. This elevated plane of prayer is characterized by transfiguration, where, just as Jesus was transformed on the mountain, your circumstances can undergo a visible and profound change. However, achieving this level requires sacrifice, discipline, and a willingness to set yourself apart from distractions and overcome the fleshly barriers that hinder deeper spiritual connections to God.

Take action today by committing to elevate your prayer life. Set aside dedicated time to pray with intensity and focus, intentionally pushing past distractions and fleshly desires. As you make this necessary sacrifice, your spiritual senses will be heightened, leading to tangible and visible transformations in all areas of your life. Hallelujah!

START-UP PRAYER:
Father, in the name of Jesus, I ask for grace to go deeper in the place of prayer. Help me stand strong in the face of any distractions in Jesus Name.

PRAYER FOR A NATION
AZERBAIJAN
Over eighty-six percent of the nation’s ten million citizens are practicing Muslims. Religious institutions are still required to register with the Azeri government in order to congregate, and religious literature must be approved before publishing.Christians are often harassed by law enforcement, threatened by heavy fines, and forced to avoid congregating because of the inability to adhere to strict regulations. Many citizens are imprisoned for worshipping without proper registration.
PRAYER FOR THE NATION:
Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray for a mighty revival in this land that will cause the heart of many unsaved to begin to turn to  you  in the Name of Jesus.

PRAYER FOR THE LEADERS:
Father, in the Name of Jesus, we pray against division in the leadership of this nation, and we ask that you will give them the heart to work cooperatively for the common good of the nation in Jesus Name.

PRAYER FOR ISRAEL:
Father in the name of Jesus, we ask that you  show Your loving kindness to Your people Israel and keep them as the apple of Your eye forever in Jesus Name.

PRAYER FOR UNITY IN THE CHURCH:
Father in the name of Jesus, we pray that the eyes of Church leaders will be opened to your divine plan and agenda for the church in this season in Jesus name

PRAYER FOR SOULS / REVIVAL
Father in the name of Jesus, we ask that you grant unto the unsaved in our nation, the grace to turn their backs on falsehood and its bondage, and to accept the light and life that Christ gives, in Jesus name.
