New Life, New Nature & Freedom
(Prayer Walk thro Rom 6-11)
Backgrounder: Paul anticipates
the questions that will arise from
hearing gospel of grace. If God’s
grace is free, then am I free to sin?
If I am free from the law, then can
I ignore the ethical demands of
the law? Paul has no illusions that
becoming a Christian means the
end of your troubles. Rather it may
be only the beginning! But the life
-giving Spirit provides confidence,
and intercession for victorious
Christian living in the storms
and complexities of everyday life.
Lord, thank you that because You
have given us New Life, we can be
certain that sin’s power is broken.
Thank you that because you have
given us New Nature, we can see
ourselves as unresponsive to
the old power & alive to the new.
Thank You that because You have
given us New Freedom, we can
commit ourselves to obey Christ.
So Lord, help us Freely Serve You;
help us Pray with Your Spirit; and
help us Share the Gospel. Amen.
Lord, we will Freely Serve You:
Reckon yourselves to be dead to
sin but alive to God…Now you are
free from sin, your old master,and
you have become slaves to yr new
master, righteousness (R6:11,18).
Now you are free from the power
of sin and have become slaves of
God. Now you do those things that
lead to holiness (Rom 6:22) Amen.
Lord, I am down at my feet again.
I ask that You be the master of
my heart, of my thoughts, of my
ambitions, of my time, of my life.
Thank You for being such a kind,
gracious and merciful God.
It is in offering my life to You
that I find abundant life. And it
is by serving You that I find true
freedom & fulfilment in life Amen.
Lord, we will Pray with Your Spirit:
In the same way, the Spirit helps us
in our weakness. We do not know
what we ought to pray for, but the
Spirit himself intercedes for us with
groans that words cannot express.
And he who searches our hearts
knows the mind of the Spirit,
because the Spirit intercedes
for the saints in accordance
with God’s will (R8:26-27) Amen.
Lord, I don’t know how to pray
about certain things, but You do.
Holy Spirit, help me in my weakness
by interceding for me & thro me.
You know the will of the Father
and You know what to pray for.
Guide me and teach me especially
when I have exhausted all words.
Help me to communicate to God
my deepest thoughts, feelings,
fears and doubts, so that my
prayers are pleading to God. Amen
Lord, we will Share the Good News:
How can they call on Him to save
them unless they believe in Him?
And how can they believe in Him if
they have never Heard about Him?
And how can they hear about Him
unless someone tells them?
And how will anyone go and tell
them without being sent? How
beautiful are the feet of those
who bring good news!.. Yet Faith
Comes By Hearing and hearing
from the Word of God (R10:14-17)
Lord, the fact that faith depends
on knowledge challenges and
reminds us to share the Good News
And the fact that faith comes
from hearing the Word of God
challenges us to spend regular time
to meditate on Your Word. Amen.
