James 1:18

Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.

Dear Heavenly Father, 
I pray for my beloved brethren to not be deceived, but rejoice in the knowing that every good and perfect gift is from above and comes down from You Father, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.  Father I pray for all those who are obedient to the great commission to go and preach the Gospel, grant them boldness by the power of Your Holy Spirit to speak the truth of Your Word. When spoken may the heart of the hearer already be open to heed these things. Just as You did for Lydia when she heard Paul in the city of Thyatira. No more to be deceived by empty words or promises of the world. May there be much rejoicing today for those who once where in darkness but are now in Your light of Your love. Father for whom You foreknew, You also predestined to be conformed to the image of Your Son. Thank You Lord for the revelation that it is by grace we have been saved through faith, and not of ourselves but a gift from You. Lord I pray, we shall not boast of our own labors but give thanks for we are Your workmanship. We are new creations in Christ for good works, which You have prepared for us beforehand. Therefore, I pray for us all Lord to be imitators of You and walk in love, as You Christ Jesus have loved us and given Yourself as an offering and sacrifice to our Father as a sweet-smelling aroma. May all glory and honor be Your Lord Jesus forever and ever, Amen.

James 1, Mark 16:20, Acts 16:14-15, Romans 8:29 and Ephesians 2
