National
Day of Purity and Humiliation
Friday – Saturday, November 29-30th
2013 from sunset to sunset
Declaration:
We
declare that it’s time to seek God’s Purity for our nation. We as believers in Christ join together in
homes, churches and places of prayer, to worship and focus on the Holiness of
our God. We acknowledge our deep need for His help in order for us to follow
His righteous ways.
We
recognize that the worldly culture has infiltrated our hearts and thinking, our
homes, the Body of Christ and our nation. As God’s people, we humble ourselves
before the Lord and seek His face and repent of; breaking covenant with God,
immorality, bloodshed, lust of the eyes, pride of life, and not resisting the temptations
of the evil one through entertainment and advertising. We repent of not living
by God’s standards in His Word, including His definition of marriage, and of
not partaking of His Holiness.
We
choose this day to turn back into covenant relationship with God, and to leave
our old sinful ways behind us. We seek
God’s forgiveness and pray that God will hear from heaven, forgive our sins and
heal our land, giving us grace to submit to follow Christ’s ways of Purity for
His name’s sake, making changes in our lifestyles, through the leading and
empowerment of the Holy Spirit. We
devote ourselves to sincerely follow His ways as Christ’s Bride, in preparation
for His soon return.
Prayer asking for God’s Mercy,
Redemption and Restoration
Heavenly
Father, we recognise in your Word, your loving warnings to your people Israel,
and also through Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount, and the writings of the New
Testament Apostles to the New Covenant believers, that there are serious
consequences outlined in your Holy Scriptures for breaking covenant with you.
We acknowledge our sin and pray this day, as we turn away from the world and repent
of our fleshly ways, and we seek your forgiveness and desire for you Jesus as
our Lord and Saviour, to purge and purify our hearts through the fire of your
Holy Spirit, to bring us into a committed covenant relationship with you, to
follow your ways of Purity, and to walk in the Holy Spirit as true sons and
daughters of the Living God.
We
pray this day that you will illuminate the darkened thinking of our minds, and
open the eyes of our hearts and understanding by the light and revelation of
your Holy Spirit through your Word, that we will heed the seriousness of this
hour, in the Fear of the Lord and your wisdom.
Turn
us back to be devoted to you, change our tastes, rewire our responses, and
channel our passions into worshipping you alone we pray, so that we can desire
to come to know you; our Holy and Pure God, and give us the grace to receive
the love of your Truth that we might be saved. Open our spiritual ears that we
might hear and obey your voice, before it is too late for you to turn back the
flood of evil in this hour.
We
pray for your divine intervention to heal and soften our hearts, that we might
love you, confess how we have fallen short of your Word, and receive your
forgiveness through the power of your sinless atoning blood that you shed at
Calvary, Lord Jesus. Give us the grace to forgive ourselves for our foolish
ways, and others who have defiled us, so that we might enter into the blessing
of your joy and peace. Father, we plead your everlasting love for us and the
precious blood of your Son Christ Jesus, and the blood of your covenant with
us. May the blood of Jesus be precious in your sight on our behalf; please
deliver us from the iniquities of our past generations, personally, of our
cities and nation. Remember us for mercy. Reveal your might, your power and
your goodness in our day, for the knowledge of the glory of God to cover our
city, nation and the whole earth, as the waters cover the sea. We pray this in
Jesus precious name, Amen.
