Praying for the Students

Father, I plead that the believing students at   ____(insert school name)____   would be powerful witnesses for the Lord Jesus Christ.  Fill them with the Holy Spirit so that they can speak boldly about who Jesus is and what Jesus can do (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8).

19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

Acts 1:8 (NKJV)

Praying for the Students

Father, I ask that the believing students of   _____(insert school name)____   will exercise a powerful and righteous influence in the school.  Empower them to live holy and obedient lives before their lost friends and teachers.  Remove anything from their lives that might hinder their testimony (Matthew 5:13-16; 1 Peter 2:11-12, 3:15-16).

Matthew 5:13-16

13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. 14  “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

1Peter 2:11-12

11 Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, 12 having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.

1 Peter 3:15-16

15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; 16 having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.

Declaration of Faith for our schools

Declaration of Faith

Father, we thank you for protecting our dedicated teachers whose desire is to teach and train our young people.  We decree that they will not compromise their integrity, and we surround them with shouts and songs of deliverance from ungodly practices, which might be required of them by school officials.  We declare in the name of Jesus that the wicked and treacherous shall be removed from their positions of influence in our school systems.  In the name of Jesus, we call into our school systems.  In the name of Jesus, we call into our school systems God-fearing men and decreeing that our teachers are receiving skillful and godly wisdom.  We thank you for the angels you have assigned to them to protect them.

Father, we decree that there shall be a spiritual revolution in our school systems among the teachers and children.  We will see them walking in the ways of piety and virtue, revering Your name, Father.  These things we pray in the name of Jesus our Lord.
