Prayer
of Repentance for The Body of Messiah
Judgement starts in The House of God. As servants of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Yaacov and Talmidim of Yeshua The Messiah, during this month of Ellul we need to repent of our complacency and apathy with regards to straying from His command to preach the Gospel and make Talmidim/Disciples for the Kingdom.
We have become a Church of entertainment and ear tickling instead of people who preach the truth whether people like it or not.
We need to repent of the "evil eye" of greed and not supporting the true work of God with our tithes and offerings, so that ministries who are teaching and preaching the truth can fulfill what God has called them to do. There is a remnant that has not compromised and has sacrificed much to train people and reach the lost. However, their hands are tied, because the God's people refuse to trust God for their needs, and refuse to build the Spiritual House of YHVH.
God warned Israel many times of the cost of compromise and idolatry, now we as His people are living in a country, here in America where socialism and the loss of our freedom is knocking at our door. The blood that so many young men have shed from the Revolutionary War until present for our freedom, is minutes from being taken away from us if we do not sincerely repent and return to His Ways, His rules, His Laws/Teaching and Instructions.
The Prophets of old warned Israel that if they did not repent judgement would come and they would be driven from the land and the blessings. However, if they repented and returned to the Covenant of Adonai, He would bless them. Do we take God seriously? Do we think we can sin and walk in disobedience and get away with it? Have we mocked and trampled the blood of Yeshua under our feet by turning from His Truth and allowing the enemy to take over?
Now is the time TO RETURN and perhaps, He will give us more time to finish the work He has called us to do, to prepare the way for Messiah Yeshua's return.
Prayer of Solomon
1Ki 8:30 “So listen to the supplication
of Your servant and of Your people Israel, when they pray toward this place.
Hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and when You hear, forgive!
1Ki 8:31 If a man sins against
his neighbor and is made to take an oath, then comes and swears before Your
altar in this House,
1Ki 8:32 then hear from heaven
and act and judge Your servants, condemning the wicked, bringing his way on his
own head, and justifying the righteous, giving him according to his
righteousness.
1Ki 8:33 “When Your people Israel are
defeated before an enemy, because they have sinned against You, if they turn
back to You and confess Your Name and pray and make supplication to You in this
House,
1Ki 8:34 then hear from heaven,
and forgive the sin of Your people Israel, and bring them back to the land
which You gave to their fathers.
1Ki 8:35 “When the skies are shut up and
there is no rain because they have sinned against You, yet if they pray toward
this place and confess Your Name and turn from their sin because You have
afflicted them,
1Ki 8:36 then hear from heaven
and forgive the sin of Your servants and Your people Israel. Teach them the
good way in which they should walk, and send rain on Your land which You gave
to Your people as an inheritance.
1Ki 8:37 “If there is famine in the land,
if there is pestilence, if there be blight or mildew, locust or caterpillar, if
their enemy should besiege them in the land of their cities, whatever plague or
sickness,
1Ki 8:38 when prayer or
supplication is made by anyone or by all Your people Israel—each knowing the plague of his
own heart—when one spreads his hands toward this House,
1Ki 8:39 then may you hear from
heaven, Your dwelling place, forgive and act, and give to each man according to
all his ways, as You know his heart to be. For You alone know the hearts of all
the children of men.
1Ki 8:40 Then they will fear You
all the days that they live in the land that You gave to our fathers.
Prayer of Daniel
Dan 9:4 “I prayed to Adonai my God and
confessed, saying: ‘O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and
mercy with those who love Him and keep His mitzvot,
Dan 9:5 we have sinned; we have
committed iniquity; we have acted wickedly; we have rebelled; we have turned
away from Your mitzvot and from Your rulings.
Dan 9:6 We have not listened to
Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, our leaders
and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
Dan 9:7 “‘You Lord are righteousness,
but shame covers our face to this day—the people of Judah and the inhabitants
of Jerusalem, and all Israel, near and far, in all the countries where you have
banished them—because they behaved unfaithfully toward you.
Dan 9:8 Adonai, shame covers our
face—our
kings, our leaders, our fathers—because we have sinned against you.
Dan 9:9 The Lord our God is
compassionate and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against Him.
Dan 9:10 We have not obeyed the
voice of Adonai Eloheinu by walking in His Torah that He set before us through
His servants the prophets.
Dan 9:11 Yes, all Israel has
transgressed Your Torah and has turned away—not obeying Your voice. “‘Therefore the curse and
sworn judgment written in the Torah of Moses the servant of God has been poured
out upon us, for we have sinned against Him.
Dan 9:12 So He has confirmed His
words that he spoke against us and against our rulers who ruled over us by
bringing on us a great calamity. Under the whole heaven nothing like this has
ever been done to Jerusalem!
Dan 9:13 As it is written in the
Torah of Moses, all this calamity came on us, yet we have not sought the favor
of Adonai Eloheinu by turning away from our iniquities and paying attention to
Your truth.
Dan 9:14 So Adonai was intent on
bringing the calamity upon us, for Adonai Eloheinu is righteous in all His
deeds that He has done—while
we have not paid attention to His voice.
Dan 9:15 “‘So now, Adonai Eloheinu, who
brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand and made for
Yourself a Name to this day—we have sinned, we have acted wickedly.
Dan 9:16 Lord, in keeping with
all Your righteous acts, let Your anger and Your fury turn away, please, from
Jerusalem, Your city, Your holy mountain. Because of our sins and the
iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people have become an object of
scorn to all those around us.
Dan 9:17 ‘So now, our God, listen to the
prayers and petitions of Your servant, and cause Your face to shine upon Your
devastated Sanctuary, for the sake of my Lord.
Dan 9:18 Give ear, my God, and
hear! Open Your eyes and see our desolation and the city called by Your name.
We do not present our supplications before You because of our own
righteousness, but because of Your great compassions.
Dan 9:19 Lord, hear! Lord,
forgive! Lord, listen and act! For Your own sake, O my God, do not delay! For
Your city and Your people are called by Your name.’
Prayer of Nehemiah
Neh 1:4 Upon hearing these words
I sat down and wept and mourned for days. I prayed and fasted before the God of
heaven.
Neh 1:5 Then I said: “Adonai, God of heaven, the
great and awesome God who keeps the covenant and lovingkindness with those who
love Him and keep His mitzvot,
Neh 1:6 please let Your ear be
attentive and Your eyes open to hear the prayer of Your servant that I am
praying before You today both day and night on behalf of Your servants, the
Bnei-Yisrael. I am confessing the sins of Bnei-Yisrael that we have sinned
against You—yes, I
and my ancestral house have sinned.
Neh 1:7 We have acted very
corruptly against You. We have not kept the mitzvot, the statutes, nor the
rulings that You commanded Your servant Moses.
Neh 1:8 “Please recall the word that You
commanded Your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you act unfaithfully, I will scatter
you among the peoples,
Neh 1:9 but if you return to Me
and obey My mitzvot, and do them, then even if your dispersed people are at the
ends of the heavens, I will gather them from there, and bring them back to the
place where I have chosen for My Name to dwell.’
Neh 1:10 They are Your servants
and Your people whom You redeemed by Your great strength and by Your mighty
hand.
Neh 1:11 Please, my
Lord, let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant and to the prayer
of Your servants who delight in revering Your Name. Give Your servant success
today and grant compassion in the presence of this man.” Now I was cupbearer to the
king.
Prayer of Ezra
Ezr 9:5
At the time of the evening offering, I rose up from my self-abasement
with my garment and robe torn, then I bowed down on my knees and spread out my
hands to Adonai my God.
Ezr 9:6
I prayed, “O my God, I am ashamed and humiliated to
lift up my face to You, my God! For our iniquities are higher than our heads
and our guilt has reached to the heavens.
Ezr 9:7
From the days of our fathers to this day our guilt has been great.
Because of our iniquities we, our kings and our kohanim have been subjected to
the sword, to captivity, to plunder and to humiliation at the hand of the kings
of the lands, as it is today.
Ezr 9:8
But now for a brief moment Adonai our God has shown us favor in leaving
us a remnant and giving us as a peg in His holy place. Thus our God has
enlightened our eyes and has given us a little relief in our bondage.
Ezr 9:9
Though we are slaves, our God has not forsaken us in our bondage. He has
extended lovingkindness to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, reviving us
in order to restore the House of our God, to raise up its ruins, and to give us
a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.
Ezr 9:10
“So now, our God, what should we say after this? For we have forsaken
Your mitzvot
Ezr 9:11
that You commanded through Your servants the prophets saying, ‘The land that you are entering to possess is a land defiled by the
impurities of the peoples of the lands. Through their abominations, they have
filled it from one end to the other with their uncleanness.
Ezr 9:12
Therefore, do not give your daughters to their sons nor take their
daughters for your sons. Do not seek their shalom or their welfare, so that you
may be strong, eat the good things of the land and leave it as an inheritance
for your children forever.’
Ezr 9:13
“After everything that has happened to us because of our evil deeds and
our great guilt—for You, our God, have punished us less than our iniquities
deserve, and given us a remnant such as this—
Ezr 9:14
shall we once again break Your mitzvot and intermarry with the peoples
who commit such detestable actions as these? Would You not be angry enough with
us to destroy us, leaving us no remnant or survivor?
Ezr 9:15
Adonai, God of Israel, You are righteous, for we are left this day as a
remnant. Behold, here we are before You in our guilt; because of it no one can
stand before You.”
