This is the audio from the March 8, 2024 live social media broadcast of encouragement and prayer by Impact Prayer Ministry’s director, Tom Lemler.
“Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
Acts 2:36 (NIV)
This week’s prayer emphasis will consider the position of Jesus as Lord of all. It has been said that every one of us make the choice each day as to whether Jesus is Lord of all or not Lord at all. This is a choice we make with our life more than our words, because sometimes our words aren’t as accurate as they ought to be. While the word or title of lord is used in many contexts throughout Scripture and in the world today, most English translations of the Bible use the word LORD to signify the personal name of God. It is in this context of Jesus being God that He is indeed Lord of all. Pray that your life would show a submission to the Lordship of Jesus in all things. Pray for a consistency in your actions that would match your words proclaiming Jesus as Lord. Pray that you would know the righteousness and compassion of the One who is Lord of all. Pray that you would live in such a way that the people around you would learn to call upon the Lord and be saved.
“Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.”
2 Thessalonians 3:16 (NIV)
As you pray this week, ask God to strengthen your conviction regarding Jesus being both Lord and Christ. Pray that you would know Jesus as the One who brings peace that surpasses understanding. Pray that you would rejoice in God’s ability to bring peace in the way that is just right for every circumstance for you and for the people around you.
