二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
1. 為瑞典禱告:瑞典經濟強勁,國家與私人企業伙伴關係穩定且互利。 瑞典的社會福利體系健全,生活水準位居世界前列。 路德會是瑞典的國家教會直到 2000 年政教正式分離。 基督徒因公開承認上帝而面臨越來越多的反對。 許多人不相信上帝與現代生活有什麼相關,許多人轉而追求物質主義、享樂主義和個人主義。 為瑞典人的福利制度和良好的生活水準創造了穩定生活條件讚美神。祈求神讓瑞典人遠離錯誤的追求並轉向追求神。
Pray for Sweden. Sweden enjoys a strong economy where public-private partnership is stable and mutually beneficial. Its welfare system is robust and its standard of living is among the best in the world. Sweden had a Lutheran church until 2000, when church and state were formally separated. Christians are increasingly facing opposition for their public acknowledgement of God. Many people do not believe God is relevant to the modern context of life and are pursuing materialism, hedonism, and individualism instead. Praise God for the stable conditions created by Sweden’s welfare system and good standard of living. Pray for the Swedes to turn away from false pursuits and put their faith in God.
2. 為國度復興禱告:全球近80億的人口中超過三分之二居住在異教假神的控制之下或者被世界的神弄瞎心眼追求物質主義、個人主義、無神主義等等。求神興起他的教會勇敢向世宣揚救贖的真理,向世人彰顯神的愛,使神的教會在末世大得興旺,世人紛紛悔改歸主。
Pray for Revival. More than two-thirds of the world’s nearly 8 billion people live under the control of pagan false gods or have been blinded by the gods of the world to pursue materialism, individualism, atheism, etc. Pray that God will raise up His church to boldly proclaim the truth of salvation to the world and demonstrate God’s love to the world, so that our Lord’s kingdom would advance greatly.
3. 為幸福小組禱告:春季的幸福小組已經接近尾聲,為BEST們都能接受耶穌基督作他們生命的救主,受洗歸入主的名下禱告。為BEST們能在受洗後加入小組,繼續在真理上學習成長禱告。
Pray for Outreach Groups. This Spring’s outreach meetings are approaching their ends. Pray that all the seekers would accept Jesus as their personal savior, and receive their baptism. Pray that all the seekers would join different groups after being baptized to grow in their faith.
4. 為禱告復興禱告:求神復興教會的週三禱告會,讓許多弟兄姊妹能分別出週三晚上的時間到神的面前敬拜禱告等候神,求神賜下禱告的熱情,使弟兄姊妹在同心合一的禱告中經歷神的復興、更新與神蹟奇事。
Pray for Prayer Meeting. Pray that the Lord would revive the Wednesday night prayer meeting. Many people would reserve Wednesday night for prayer. Pray that in the prayer meeting many people would experience renewal of their lives and God’s signs and wonders.
5. 為肢體禱告:為你所知道身體欠安的弟兄姊妹禱告,求神醫治他們恢復身體的健康。
Pray for the Sick. Pray for the brothers and sisters you know who are in poor health, and ask God to heal them and restore them to good health.
