Prayer Burdens for December 19, 2023

1. The heart is the entrance and exit of life (Prov. 4:23) and all spiritual experiences start with love in the heart (Eph. 6:24); let us pray that all the saints will exercise their heart to love the Lord with the first love (Rev. 2:4) and deal with their heart for the growth in life unto their maturity in life

Proverbs 4:23 — Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it are the issues of life.

Ephesians 6:24 — Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruptibility.

2. The semiannual training in Anaheim (December 25-30) and the local video trainings–The general subject is Laboring on the All-inclusive Christ Typified by the Good Land for the Building Up of the Church as the Body of Christ, for the Reality and the Manifestation of the Kingdom, and for the Bride to Make Herself Ready for the Lord’s Coming. Let us pray for the Lord’s anointing on the speaking of the messages, the speaking brothers, the health, travel and protection of all the saints, and the services supporting the training, particularly the audio and visual service, both in Anaheim and in all of the localities carrying out a video training

3. Thanksgiving to the Lord for all the young people, college age saints and young adults–Let us pray that each one would “flee youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart” (2 Tim. 2:22) and that they may be “blameless and guileless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation” and “shine as luminaries in the world” (Phil. 2:15) as they face the attack of the enemy in this dark age

4. The strengthening of all the meetings and practical services in the church this week

5. The Lord’s move in India–Let us pray for the saints and the churches in Tamil Nadu in Southern India; this area has experienced heavy rain and devastating flooding; saints have had to evacuate their homes and there are some saints whom no one can reach and with whom no one has been able to communicate

6. The various needs of the saints both locally and in other localities (e.g. physical and emotional, health-related, job-related, family-related, etc.)
