Noon Prayer 4.26.2023
Education Mountain of Influence
This area of influence is critical for us because it greatly shapes the minds and expectations of our younger generation.
Isaiah 60:1-3 (HCSB) We are a light into this area of influence.
1Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord shines over you. 2 For look, darkness covers the earth, and total darkness the peoples; but the Lord will shine over you, and His glory will appear over you. 3 Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your radiance.
Pray for our Children:
We are believing and interceding for revival in our schools.
Father, pour out Your Spirit on our sons and our daughters. We are asking for a harvest of salvations to come to our schools.
Pray that our children will discern false teachings and truth.
Pray for daily protection around our schools. Lord, dispatch your angels to minister to and protect our schools in Hillsborough County, FL, and our nation.
Pray for Educational Leaders:
Pray for our US Department of Education Secretary, Miguel Cardona.
Pray for our FL Department of Education Commissioner, Manny Diaz Jr.
Pray for our Hillsborough County Superintendent, Addison Davis, and the entire school board.
We are asking that God will call believers to be principals, administrators, and school board members. Also, that these high-level leaders would seek Godly council and spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:8-10)
Pray for Curriculum Writers:
John 16:13-15 (HCSB)
13 When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak whatever He hears. He will also declare to you what is to come. 14 He will glorify Me, because He will take from what is Mine and declare it to you. 15 Everything the Father has is Mine. This is why I told you that He takes from what is Mine and will declare it to you.
We need men and women of God to move into this area to bring righteousness and truth into our curricula.
Pray that wisdom and truth will be deposited into Christian writers in such a way that their work will be so brilliant that every district in America will want to adopt it.
Pray for this calling to explode in men and women who love to write.
Pray for our Educators:
We are asking for more Christian teachers to arise and enter the classrooms and to be bold in their faith.
Pray that Christian educators will awaken to the great calling of influencing this mountain with the love of Jesus.
Pray that these Christian teachers will be the best of the best, that learning will be easy for them, and that classroom management comes easily because of the love of Jesus flowing from them.
We believe He is standing at the doors of our schools and knocking. Whenever just one teacher hears His voice and opens the door, He will come in, and bring divine order as more open to Him.
Pray that as these men and women stand up for Biblical values in our school systems, that they will be protected and promoted. Pray that they will be promoted to team leaders, teacher mentors, and other areas of great influence.
Spiritual Warfare:
1 Corinthians 1:19-25 (HCSB)
19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.” 20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22 Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
Come against the principality Beelzebub, and his tools which are lies.
Come against pride and humanism that are currently ruling over this mountain. Humanism rejects the validity of our dependence on faith, the supernatural, and divinely revealed truths.
Come against atheism, the belief that there is no God.
Each of these constantly push to confuse our children and work to distort their true identity in Christ.
Ways to actively get involved in influencing this mountain:
*Hillsborough County is home to over 300 schools and over 200,000 students. Please partner with us in choosing at least three different schools to intercede for on a weekly basis. Together, we can change the atmosphere and direction of this entire district.
*Go to the Hillsborough County Public School website and read the agenda for every board meeting and attend the ones that you can attend.
*Vote for new board members that will support Biblical views in the next election.
