A Call to Prayer

Evil is real.
Pornography is evil.
It is a tool of the enemy and affects many people.

When I first heard of the men’s conference that was focused on porn and its affects, I was glad that the light of Jesus is being shone on this dark topic.

I know that not only men are affected by this addiction.
If you suffer from an addiction to porn, I pray that God will free you from bondage. I pray that your behaviors and desires will be changed, to the point that the mere thought of engaging with any form of porn will make you physically ill.  I pray for repentance, forgiveness and reconciliation in your life.

If you would like prayer for this topic or anything in your life, please email womensministry@dwgc.org. A group of ladies will pray for you and your request will remain confidential.

As stated above, pornography is evil. We do not need to be in despair. God has equipped us with the weapons of the Word, fasting and prayer to combat the evil we face in this world.  With this in mind, about a week prior to the men’s conference in May, I decided to invite anyone to join me at my home church to pray during the conference on Saturday.  No one was able to join me physically, but I did create a web conference. Two other ladies joined me through this. The format was silent and there were no web cameras on. I typed out prayers on screen, as the Holy Spirit led.

Pornography leads to an increase in the demand for victims of human trafficking.
Please also join me in praying for this:

Lord, for the victims, let them be freed in this life, and turn to you.
For those who profit from selling other humans, let them be broken and turn to Jesus on the cross, and repent.

The following are the prayers shared during the gathering for the men’s conference.

Please join me in praying for:

o Ray Ortlund (author of Death of Porn: Men of Integrity Building a World of Nobility)
            Thanksgiving for his call to speak out against pornography
            Gift of his message
            That his words will touch the hearts of all who attend the conference

o All of those who attended the conference

            Holy Spirit, move through that place. Open hearts and minds

            That they will be moved to SPEAK OUT AGAINST

            They would be equipped to be the spiritual leaders of their families.

John 1:5 

The light shines in the darkness, and darkness has not overcome it.

2 Cor. 10:3-5

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

John 10:10

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.

I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.

Luke 10:19

Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.

2 Chron. 20:15

This is what the Lord says to you: "Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army.

For the battle is not yours, but God's"

REPENTANCE

FORGIVENESS

RESTORATION

Amen!
