Daniel 11:32b Prayer

a devotional prayer by Raimer Rojas

a prayer to pray over the Body of Christ

Wanted to emphasize this verse as we pray for the church:

That we would be a people who...

1. Know Our God

Deep knowledge of God in both mind and heart, through His revealed Word and from experience from walking with God through all seasons of life.

To me this speaks of a strong inner core, a rich inner life,  that comes from being rooted and established in His love, intimacy with Him, and an identity that came only from Him. This causes us to stand strong against the voices of our fleshly desires, the pressures to follow the thinking of this misled culture/world, and the lies of our most deceptive enemy. They call us always to settle for immediate and lesser pleasures, than the greater and eternal ones we could only ever find in God.

3. Take Action (Do Great Exploits) 

“...so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation. Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life...” - Philippians‬ ‭2:15-16‬a ‭NIV‬‬

And for this I want to differentiate from doing good/great things FOR God, which if not led BY God could be just as off and just as misled as what worldly people do.

Jesus said,
