“Those who are loved by God,
let His love continually pour from you to one another, because God is love. Everyone who loves is fathered by God
and experiences an intimate knowledge of Him.”
~ 1 John 4:7 (TPT)

How does our nation shift? Love has such power that it completely confounds and enrages the enemy. When the lovers of God worship the One Who is LOVE, they carry and release a realm of such goodness, kindness, peace, joy, patience, gentleness, faithfulness and self-control.

We carry hope in the Lord and influence those around us with effective power to change hearts.

“Now hope does not disappoint,
because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts
by the Holy Spirit Who was given to us.”
~ Romans 5:5 (NKJV)

The Christ’s Ekklesia firstly must have an intimate knowledge of Him and His ways. Then we can easily speak words that carry pure love without hidden agenda, causing things to shift in our nation — a turnaround from a culture of death through abortion, euthanasia, suicide; and we will see more addictions broken, prostitution and pornography lose their power for destruction and disintegrate.

When the Ekklesia arise and recognise, honour and serve Him Whom they carry in their innermost being, we make Him known. This happens with or without words by the consecrated intention of loving others — then something breaks open over our regions and this nation corporately, that is, His powerful love that is unstoppable and uncontainable.

The last census showed Christianity is still the main religion in Australia, with 12 million people, 86 per cent of religious Australians, identifying as Christians. Imagine if Christ who dwells within each one began to pour out of us, with His fragrant love to the community around us, in such measure that it created a shift for His abundant life in this nation.

Life and fulfilling the destinies of the next generation — turning away from abortion! When the Holy Spirit floods our land, there comes wisdom, understanding, fear of the Lord, knowledge, might, and counsel to infiltrate how we legislate, educate, do business, relate as family, thrive economically — He affects what we produce and eat, and how we love.

This Oroville (California) video helps convey something of the Ekklesia vision to see God’s love transform a region.

Worship:

Holy Communion:

Let your heart overflow with love and worship as you take and eat and drink, remembering Jesus’s sacrifice for you today.

“You become my delicious feast even when my enemies dare to fight.
You anoint me with the fragrance of Your Holy Spirit;
You give me all I can drink of You until my heart overflows.”
~Psalm 23:5 (TPT)

Prayer:

Father, thank You that You loved the world so much, You sent Your Son Who died to redeem each one of us. Lord, help us to love with Your incredible passion for the lost.

This week, Lord, we ask for ‘Damascus Road’ encounters with You for people who will be catalysts for change, with all that needs changing in this nation. We ask You to speak to hearts, Holy Spirit, and remove every blockage. Let Your incredible love pour out of the hearts of all of Your sons and daughters.

May we see evidence of repentance all over our nation, melting hearts like wax before You as they experience Your redeeming love. Help us make disciples of all who repent; Lord, bring radical heart change that results in cultural change in our nation. May we see a great shift for purity, righteousness, justice, mercy and life for the unborn overtake abortion in our nation.

Lord, You told us to ask — today we ask for the unborn of Australia to live and not die, so Your Name may be glorified. May Your love redeem the multitudes from destruction through aborting their offspring. Lord, have mercy in Jesus Christ, Yeshua’s powerful Name. Amen.

Acts of Repentance:

Let us pay attention to our words today, cultivating hearts that overflow with encouraging healing words.

When you speak healing words, you offer others fruit from the tree of life.
But unhealthy, negative words do nothing but crush their hopes.
~ Proverbs 15:4 (TPT)

Nothing is more appealing than speaking beautiful, life-giving words.
For they release sweetness to our souls and inner healing to our spirits.
~ Proverbs 16:24 (TPT)

Prayer Points:

• Join our prayers with the USA in the battle to overturn Roe v. Wade — There is an abortion case (Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization) presently being considered by the nine US Supreme Court Judges which could overturn the famous abortion case Roe v. Wade (1973) which opened up abortion on demand in the USA for almost 50 years. This has resulted in the loss of life to over 62,000,000 babies in the USA. The verdict of the case is expected to be known in June 2022. If Roe v. Wade (1973) is overturned, or invalidated, it is expected that around half the states in the USA will move to make abortion illegal in their states. It is thought six out of the nine judges now have pro-life values.
• Pray that the Love Adelaide — Walk for Life 2022 on Feb 12^th 10am-12pm will grow in momentum from the 5,000 last year — that nothing will hinder the church standing against legalised abortion, adding their strength and support to end the abortion crisis in our nation and beyond. Pray for more volunteers for the walk and for the weather to be favourable.
• Ask for the Babies Born Alive (Human Rights — Children Born Alive Protection Bill 2021) tabled in the Australian Federal Parliament to have favour, that it be allowed to go for a vote and be passed in this term of government with no more delay — so that in every state and territory in Australia, babies born alive after a failed abortion will receive proper medical care and legal protection.
• That people of South Australia will vote according to Life in the upcoming State Parliament elections. May they no longer support the politicians who voted for aborting viable babies even to full term, blocked vital lifesaving amendments and forbade all prayer and offers of help within 150 m of any place where abortions occur (including all major public hospitals).
• That many women and men will take up the call to be on the frontline in the fight for Life for the Unborn by joining a political party and running for office.

May God Bless you. Thank you for being a part of 21 Days of Hope for the Unborn.

‘And let us not grow weary while doing good,
for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.’
~ Galatians 6:9 (NKJV)
