This is the audio from the September 25, 2023 live social media broadcast of encouragement and prayer by Impact Prayer Ministry’s director, Tom Lemler.

“Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.’”
Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV)

This week our prayer emphasis will focus on the work God has called us to do as we go about life.  It can be easy and convenient to think about discipleship being a task for someone else, but God calls each one of us to be a disciple and to make disciples wherever we go in life.  The good news is that God not only tells us what we ought to be doing, He gives us the ability to do it through His Spirit.  As you pray this week, ask God to help you grow in being a disciple at all times and places.  Pray that you would not only follow the instructions of Jesus, but that you would teach them through your words and actions.  Pray for the wisdom necessary to teach accurately the things of God.  Pray for a submissive spirit that consistently pursues the things of God and that seeks to share those things everywhere you go.  Pray that you would be a worker in the kingdom harvest as God adds to His kingdom daily.

“Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.’”
Matthew 28:18 (NIV)

Pray that God’s authority would be taken seriously by all believers — especially in regards to fulfilling His commission.  Pray for a submissive spirit that seeks to honor the authority of Jesus.  Pray that the people around you would see in you the value of following God’s authority.
