Introduction and Exhortation to Pray for the Whole Lost World of Mankind

Intercession 5.0 | KJV

The Lord Jesus has taught us to pray, not only with, but for others; and the apostle has appointed us to make supplication for all the saints, Ephesians 6:18(KJV) and many of his prayers in his epistles are for his friends. And we must not think that when we are in this part of prayer, we may let fall our fervency and be more indifferent because we ourselves are not immediately concerned in it; but rather, let a holy fire of love, both to God and man, here make our devotion yet more warm and lively.

We must pray for the whole world of mankind, the lost world; and thus, we must honor everyone, 1 Peter 2:17(KJV) and, according to our capacity, do good to everyone. Galatians 6:10(KJV)

I pray, as I am taught, for all men, believing that this is good and acceptable in the sight of God my Saviour, who will have all men to be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth and of Jesus Christ, 1 Timothy 2:3-4(KJV) who gave himself a ransom for all. 1 Timothy 2:6(KJV)

O look with compassion upon the world that lies in wickedness, 1 John 5:19(KJV) and let the prince of this world be cast out, John 12:31(KJV) that has blinded their minds. 2 Corinthians 4:4(KJV)

O let thy way be known upon earth, Psalm 67:2(KJV) that barbarous nations may be civilized, and those that live without God in the world may be brought to the service of the living God; Ephesians 2:12(KJV) and thus, let thy saving health be known unto all nations. Let the people praise thee, O God; yea, let all the people praise thee: O let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for thou shalt judge the people righteously and govern the nations upon earth. Psalm 67:2-4(KJV)

O let thy salvation and thy righteousness be openly showed in the sight of the heathen, and let all the ends of the earth see the salvation of God. Psalm 98:2-3(KJV)

O give thy Son the heathen for his inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth for his possession; Psalm 2:8(KJV) for thou hast said, It is a light thing for him to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved of Israel, but thou wilt give him for a light to the Gentiles. Isaiah 49:6(KJV)

Let all the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of the Lord and of his Christ. Revelation 11:15(KJV)

Thank God for the Performance of His Promises

Thanksgiving 4.41 | KJV

For the performance of God’s promises.

Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word, Psalm 119:65(KJV) and thou hast been ever mindful of thy covenant, the word which thou hast commanded to a thousand generations. Psalm 105:8(KJV)

There hath not failed one word of all the good promise, 1 Kings 8:56(KJV) which thou hast promised to David thy servant and Israel thy people. 1 Kings 8:66(KJV)

And now, what shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits towards me? Psalm 116:12(KJV) Let my soul return to him and repose in him as its rest, because he hath dealt bountifully with me: Psalm 116:7(KJV) I will take the cup of my salvation and call upon the name of the Lord; Psalm 116:13(KJV) for the Lord is good, his mercy is everlasting, and his truth endureth to all generations. Psalm 100:5(KJV)

I will bless the Lord at all times, yea, his praise shall continually be in my mouth; Psalm 34:1(KJV) I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live; Psalm 104:33(KJV) and I hope to be shortly with those blessed ones who dwell in his house above and are still praising him and who rest not day or night from saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty. Revelation 4:8(KJV)

Thank God for Support Under your Afflictions

Thanksgiving 4.40 | KJV

For support under my afflictions, and spiritual benefit and advantage by them.

Thou hast comforted me in all my tribulation; 2 Corinthians 1:4(KJV) hast considered my trouble, and known my soul in adversity, Psalm 31:7(KJV) and showed me thy marvellous kindness, as in a strong city. Psalm 31:21(KJV)

When afflictions have abounded, consolations have much more abounded. 2 Corinthians 1:5(KJV)

Though no afflictions for the present have been joyous, but grievous; nevertheless, afterwards it hath yielded the peaceable fruit of righteousness, and hath proved to be for my profit, that I might be a partaker of thy holiness. Hebrews 12:10-11(KJV)

I have had reason to say that it was good for me I was afflicted, that I might learn thy commandments; Psalm 119:71(KJV) for before I was afflicted I went astray, but afterwards have kept thy word. Psalm 119:67(KJV)

It has been but for a season and when there was need, that I have been in heaviness, through manifold temptations; and I beg that all the trials of my faith may be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen, I love, in whom, though I now see him not, yet believing, I rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory, and am longing to receive the end of my faith, even the salvation of my soul. 1 Peter 1:6-9(KJV)
