A PRAYER FOR SOUTH AFRICA
	FATHER GOD WE COME TO YOU THIS MORNING TO PRAY FOR OUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY, SOUTH AFRICA. WE LIFT HER UP BEFORE YOUR THRONE OF GRACE AND PRAY THAT YOU WILL BRING PEACE, CALM, HARMONY, WHOLENESS, AND BALANCE BY THE SURPASSING GREATNESS OF YOUR POWER. WE PRAY THAT BY YOUR GREAT POWER AND YOUR OUTSTRETCHED ARM YOU WILL INTERVENE AND DESTROY THIS SPIRIT OF REBELLION AND DESTRUCTION. WE PRAY THAT YOU WILL POUR OUT YOUR LIGHT AND BRING OUT THOSE WHO ARE ACTING MALICIOUSLY FROM THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS INTO THE KINGDOM OF YOUR MARVELOUS LIGHT. YOU ARE THE MIGHTY ONE, GOD THE LORD, AND WE PRAY THAT YOU WILL REDEEM WITH YOUR POWERFUL HAND, THOSE FROM THE HOUSE OF SLAVERY WHO ARE ACTING IN HATRED AND SPITEFUL BITTER-NESS TO CAUSE HARM TO OTHERS. AS YOUR CHILDREN, FATHER, WE DECLARE THAT NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH YOU. WE PRAY THAT YOU WILL POUR OUT YOUR LOVE INTO THE HEARTS OF THOSE WHO ACT IN HATRED. WE PRAY THAT YOU WILL POUR THE HEALING BALM OF HEAVEN INTO THE HEARTS OF MEN AND WOMEN FUELED BY GREED AND DISCONTENT. SPEAK PEACE AND HEALING OVER THIS COUNTRY, LORD. WE PRAY THAT YOU, THE VICTORIOUS WARRIOR WHO HAS CONQUERED AND WILL CONQUER ALL EVIL, WILL BE IN OUR MIDST. WE PRAY THAT YOU WILL POUR OUT YOUR BLESSINGS ONCE AGAIN. WE PRAY THAT YOU WILL SPEAK REDEEMING LIFE OVER THOSE WHO ARE DEAD IN THEIR SINS. MAKE THEM ALIVE IN CHRIST AND FORGIVE THEIR SINS. THOSE WHOSE SINFUL MINDS HAVE BEEN MADE PROUD BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT CONNECTED TO CHRIST, RAISE THEM INTO NEW LIFE WITH CHRIST SO THAT TOGETHER, WE CAN SET OUR SIGHTS ON THE REALITIES OF HEAVEN. MAKE BLINDED EYES TO SEE THAT CHRIST IS ALL THAT MATTERS. MAKE US A NATION CLOTHED WITH TENDER-HEARTED MERCY, KINDNESS, HUMILITY, GENTLENESS AND PATIENCE. ABOVE ALL, CLOTHE US WITH YOUR LOVE WHICH BINDS US TOGETHER IN PERFECT HARMONY. AND LET THE PEACE THAT COMES FROM CHRIST RULE IN OUR HEARTS. WE PRAY THAT THE MESSAGE OF CHRIST, IN ALL ITS RICHNESS, WILL FILL EACH AND EVERY LIFE. IN THE ALL-POWERFUL NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD, WE PRAY THIS, FATHER. LET IT BE SO. AMEN. - Helen du Plessis (083 332 0895)
